| Description of the problem | I was driving my hyundai 2017 sonata plugin hybrid on the high way in hev mode and suddenly i felt severe vibration in my car. Then i changed my engine to ev mode and it was fine. Engine light came on. Every time the gas engine came on the car started vibrating and non responsive to gas. I drove about 10 more km towards home on electric only engine and then got it towed to the dealership. It felt like engine lost its power. I recently changed the voltage protection device on the car as a recall. All services were done on time and car had only 33000 km. |
