Description of the problem	October 3rd 2015, i was driving on highway 78 west. I was in the vehicle with my 3 year old daughter. I was driving in a 2 way lane that was under construction. All off a sudden without any warning my vehicle started to decelerate on the highway. I immediately had no control and my speed was decreasing fast. I was in the left lane and in matter of 4-7 minutes my car engine was shutting down on the highway. I was almost hit by multiple trucks who continued to fly by my vehicle on the highway as i tried to find some where in enough time to bear off. Putting me and my 3 year old daughter in immediate danger. Needless to say i was terrified. I was finally able to pull off into the right lane and pull my vehicle into the shoulder of the highway. Since i was in an area that was under construction on this highway the shoulder space was very limited. I could feel the trucks pass my car and i was scared for my life and my daughter? S life. I had an immediate panic attack and thought my daughter and myself was going to die. This has caused a great deal of hardship on myself and my daughter. We have been without our vehicle since this incident. Hyundai in lebanon, pa has had my vehicle since 10/3/15 and continue to give me the run around. They say they ordered a new engine , but it has not shipped to the dealer yet. This incident has created a tremendous hardship for me and my family . I continue to be at a disadvantage as i am driving a rented vehicle . Meanwhile i continue to pay for a car i have not driven for over 3 months. Your immediate assistance would be appreciated. This issue i am having with my vehicle is due to a recall campaign 132. This recall was due to the engine malfunction that hyundai is aware of. My vehicle stalled while in motion on the highway , putting my life and my 3 year old daughter's life at risk.
