| Description of the problem | The car was parked. Started and backed up i proceeded forward at 10-15 mph in a parking lot and the car just died would not start i had plenty of power lights etc but it would not turn over. Had to have the car towed. A car only four years old should not have a safety issue like this. This is a safety issue biz if we had rode in the car for 10 minutes and it stalled we would have been on a very dangerous section of a highway that would most certainly ended with an accident and even a worse scenario . For you to have no warning a signal or a bell but for it to just shut off. I have enjoyed the car for the most part but between a oil sensor going a few year ago and the car died the same way in the middle of an intersection and the car going dead again in the course of the vehicle moving i seriously would not recommend or consider buying a sonata again i hope this note has some effect on fixing this problem before fatalities occur. (now i also have a huge repair bill for a problem that so obviously a faulty part. |
