 Description of the problemAt about 12:00 pm on 7 april 2017, i was stopped at a red light on a major thoroughfare (50 mph speed limit). When the light turned green, i depressed the gas pedal, but the vehicle failed to move. Instead, it hesitated, bucked a bit, and then lost power altogether. I put the car in neutral and, after a couple of tries, the car restarted. As i accelerated, the car exhibited more hesitation, then operated normally. Ironically, i was on the way to the local hyundai dealer to pick up our other vehicle and made it there. I reported the problem to the dealer and turned it over to them for diagnosis/repair. The dealer could neither detect any problem nor duplicate the incident. According to their write-up: "scanned for codes. No dtcs at this time. Fuel pressure is normal. 10 mile test drive and update has already been completed.... Unable to duplicate..." this morning, i learned that hyundai has recalled 1. 2 million vehicles and symptoms of the problem are exactly those that my vehicle exhibited. However, my vehicle is a 2015 model and does not appear to be covered by the recall, notwithstanding the problem i experienced yesterday. In any case, my vehicle has only 26k miles and has been well maintained by the dealer. I suspect it has the problem for which hyundai is now recalling over a million vehicles.
