| Description of the problem | For 6 months i have received emergency notification "hybrid system warning! Safely stop and do not drive" also "check brakes" most recently the warning lights came on while driving 65mph and the car lost all power. Most often this occurs when the car is parked. The dealership has looked at it twice. The first time they replaced the battery to resolve the issue. The second time they were "unable to replicate the problem" and said there was nothing they could do to fix the problem. As the car lost power while on a major highway i feel it is unsafe to drive. When the warning lights are on the brakes must be fully pressed down to engage. I filed a case with hyundai but have received no response in two weeks |
