| Description of the problem | At any speed the engine will return to idle without moving the gas pedal. It will do the same thing when using cruise. Pushing the gas pedal will re-engage the engine. It acts as if you take your foot off the gas. There are no warning lights and everything acts normal (lights, power steering etc). This started in mid march 2019. It is becoming a daily issue. . My wife is scared to drive it. I took it to my hyundai dealer and they could find nothing wrong. It did not do it for them. They said it showed no codes. I keep very good care of my sonata. It has 180,000. My dealer is noller hyundai topeka ks. |
