| Description of the problem | While driving multiple indicator lights on the dash came on, (brake, abs, tractions control, steering, seat belt, air bag and check engine lights.) t highway speed the transmission shifted into 1st gear and i was forced to exit the road immediately. I safely came to a stop and shut the vehicle off. I then restarted it and then i was able to safely get home. I then called aaa and had the car towed to my mechanic. My mechanic found that they could not communicate with most modules/computers that are in the car. After hours of testing, they discovered that the back up camera was corrupting the computer data lines and essentially shutting down crucial modules in the vehicle. Once the camera was removed from the car, the vehicle operations returned to normal. Please advise hyundai of this issue, so other motorists can be spared this frightening experience. I will provide the invoice for repair and the failed part, which i have in my possession, if you need. Please contact me for further information. |
