| Description of the problem | This is on the hybrid sonata. Twice in 2 weeks, i am driving down a highway, i felt a jerk in the car, the ready light flashes and the wrench symbol shows up. The car is on battery power only. I coast on battery till i can pull into a parking lot. Shut the car off. Luckily both times it started back up. Bob king hyundai in winston-salem says they don't know why it would do that. We are waiting on some parts that are updates, but don't know if that will fix the shut down issue. |
