2016 Hyundai SONATA PLUG-IN HYBRID Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1455158
Internal NHTSA #	11080680
Manufacurer	Hyundai Motor America
Brand	HYUNDAI
Model	SONATA PLUG-IN HYBRID
Model Year	2016
File date	19/03/18
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Warning light saying "check hybrid system" comes on and the engine would not start if the car is parked. While driving the car completely shuts off without the ability to pull over at a safe location. It happened to me three times so far, twice under 18,000 miles and once at 24,600 miles. The dealer is not sure what is causing it and gives it back to me after some tweaking to get rid of the warning light. I have filed a complain with hyundai (case # 11109600) regarding this. This car is a death trap and i will not either drive or ride in this car ever. I will not be satisfied in anything less than a complete buy back. I am asking nhtsa to force a recall and have them fix the problem with confidence or do buy backs. It's a death trap and can not be allowed to exist on the road.
