| Description of the problem | driving on my way to an early lab appointment 645 am. When i got about 2 miles from destination doing 40 mph, when the check engine light came on. Followed by the esc light, battery light, airbag light, seatbelt light blinking, and lights on dash dimming., when i stopped at the traffic light, the speed odometer still read 40. When light turned green, i went to step on gas, and car would hardly move, i was able to get off road safely. I turned car off, dead. I walked from where i left car, to appointment almost 2 miles each way . I am a heart patient[ have an artificial valve and a defibrillator and this episode upset me. I read today,that this happens to hyundai sonatas. When i got back to the vehicle, i arranged it to be towed to a mechanic. Is there a recall on this, if so we have never received one, this vehicle has been owned by us since 2009. |
