| Description of the problem | My car is a 2006 hyundai sonata and last night my cars' headlights dim or shut off momentarily, the fan speed seems to drop for a second also but never shuts completely off. I noticed last night my tachometer would only go to a 1 at the lowest. It would go higher as i drove but never back down towards a 0 or 1. You could feel the harsh vibration as i sat at a stoplight while it rested at 1. I also noticed that it feels like the trans is slipping or something as i take off or try to turn. This is the first time i have ever experienced this with this car. This is extremely dangerous!! What if the gas pedal sticks or the lights go out while driving??? I have 2 small children and you bet i would sue or my family would on my behalf if anything happened to us as a result of hyundai not issuing some kind of recall. Please address this issue asap as to avoid any future problems that could have been corrected by a simple recall. *tt |
