| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway at about 50 mph when my car completely shut off. All the dash indicator lights illuminated. I tried to press the accelerator and nothing happened. I had to make my way to the side of the road with absolutely no power which was frightening. When i got to the side of the freeway, i was able to come to a complete stop. After realizing that my car had in fact, shut itself off, i tried to restart it. First try, it started! What is wrong with this car that it can shut off, then be fine right after? I googled this problem as soon as i got home, low and behold, this problem has happened to many people. Losing power when driving, especially high speed is a frightening and unsafe condition. I could've been in an accident endangering myself as well as other motorists. Please take this safety issue seriously and hold hyundai accountable for their product. Please do this before anyone dies from this issue. Thank you. |
