| Description of the problem | On 3 separate occassons the vehicle was on a major street when it just died. The first time was comng out of a stop at a red light, the second just when i was driving and the third time whle i was deaccelarating. Miraculalously i was able to use the last bit of momentum and pull over. The car started up again each tme. The dealer had no suggestions the first 2 times except for possble computer misfire. They released the car staitng it should be fine and they could not replcate the event. After starting a case with hyundai they decided to replace the ignition coils and then the fuel pump. After much questioningand little cooperaion from hyundai or the dealer, i was told that 1500 people reprted the same life threatenening event onn thier car. Not enough for a recall!!! Someone is going to get killed. Neither the dealer or hyundai thinks this is an issue. Case number 8479377. I have never received a call from the case engineer from hyundai explaining any repairs as promised. Hyundai is unresponsive. The service manager is mike dsantis md isalnd hyundai centeeach ny631 580 0800 |
