| Description of the problem | My 2010 hyundai sonata completely shut down on me 2-times in less than 5-minutes times while i was driving today. I was on my way to enter the expressway. The power steering and everything just shut down. My car just made a sudden stop. Thank god i had not entered the expressway and took the side streets home. I feel that this is a real safety hazard to myself, the passengers riding with me as well as other drivers, passengers and families on the road. My vehicle has 53,215 miles, there is no way this should be happening. If this is happening to my vehicle, i know it's occurring in other sonata's and other hyundai vehicles base on what i see in online entries on the 2010 hyundai sonata and hyundai vehicles. Manufactures must be held accountable for the defected products place on the market. I know that i'm a small voice against a large corporation, but if you take the time to investigate i know that my claim will be validated. I hope and pray that something is done about this before we are dealing with injuries or fatalities. I am a frustrated and unhappy hyundai sonata owner, looking for hyundai to put safety first! |
