| Description of the problem | My 2012 hybrid sonata, 104,000 miles, suddenly started jerking and nearly stalling one recent morning on a drive from home on a divided road. It barely moved forward, badly jerking, message on the screen was : hybrid battery low. Pull up safely an place the car in park". So after 1/2 mile, i returned home. Because of low speed on a divided road, there was a serious concern of being hit by another car. I had the car towed next morning to the hyundai dealer. They reported 'nothing wrong found' and returned the car which is running fine, though jerking transmission at low speed. I am wondering if this happened away from home, what shall i do. I need assurance that that will not happen again. How do we get that assurance ? |
