| Description of the problem | I was driving the sonata when all of a sudden the car lost its force and wouldn't move. While stuck in the middle of the street i was pushing the gas peddle but the car would not go. The esc off light came on, and the check engine light as well. I powered the car off and turned it back on but the car still did not have a lot of force, but enough to get to a nearby parking lot. I left the car off in a parking lot for about 5 min and turned it back on. The esc light turned off, but not the check engine. There have been similar problems where its a switch in the brake peddle but that should not make the entire car shut off. I took it to my dealership since i just bought the car 2 weeks ago and now i'm waiting for diagnostics to come back. |
