Description of the problem	Repair attempts 5; first attempt at date of incident. Driving on level three lane divided highway when the vehicle suddenly stops accelerating and exhibits a no power condition where only electrical is working. I apply acceleration up past 5000 rpm and no response. Past 6000 rpm and vehicle suddenly kicks in and out of complete shock i'm forced to pull over in nearby plaza to contact nearest dealer (in southern california @ this time, original dealer in las vegas centennial hyundai). Allen hyundai service technician agrees to keep it overnight to duplicate issue. He puts in writing next day "three no power conditions." after blaming it on the turbo and adjusting electrical sensors, i continued experiencing same problem, different places. Original dealer for some reason fails to duplicate and leaves me hopeless. No offer to trade car or take it back.
