Description of the problem	First let me tell you how many times i brought the car in for service, the service manager [xxx] telling me they could not find anything wrong, replaced the a/c unit. Blue tooth fuses have blown out several times no radio, they replaced the fuses, then replaced the battery ... There is a electrical short some where .. The date above in october i was so mad i was traveling on a inter state highway in the fast lane, then my car lost power,, at 67 mph no brakes no nothing thanks god.. I had to wait to power down... I waited for about 20 minutes shaking ... I kept trying to start the car with the push button start nothing happened i then called hyundai road service ... After waiting ... Finally the car started .. I had power but no radio ,,, i drove off the inter state and it was only 2 miles from the car dealership.. I was so mad also my blue tooth and one light burned out.. After talking to the service mgr.. He told me to wait in which i did... 2 hours later a service guy came to talk to me and said he could not find nothing wrong again.. Except that he would replace the light bulb... After that i asked the sales rep to put me into another car.. They said ok but for 50. 00 more a month and a loss of 2 years paying for the car ... I then went to the same owner dealership and they worked with me for 2 days i got a new car 20. 00 more a month and a loss of 2 years in payments... Please note that a new service manager at the dealership said he worked at another dealership and told me it looks like the starter switch was the problem.. After seeing the gm recall i guess anything is possible information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
