| Description of the problem | Early this year when i started my 2012 sonata in the morning for work it started to stall. In march when i took it to the dealer for oil change i notified them of this issue. They said the battery needed replacing. It got better afterwards until two weeks ago. I thought maybe the keyless remote needs new battery and so switched to the spare remote that i had barely used. It did not help. But i noticed the stall happened in the morning when i leave for work, not in the afternoon when i go home. Maybe because i have to use the remote to unlock the car in the afternoon and make the car connect to the "key" rather than display " key not detected." this morning i could not get the car started after tried all my tricks for numerous times. I was stranded and had to use my vacation for work. Made an appointment last week with the dealer for this tuesday. Wonder how i am going to haul the car to the dealer if i can not get it started. |
