| Description of the problem | The car is two years old, at less than 10,600 miles the battery has to be replaced, which did not follow under any manufacturer warranty (replacing cost me $195. 00 at 25% discount). The car trim is a limited, sonata, however a mouse was able to brake into the engine and ate the wire hardness,( which also i had to paid to be fixed) my concern is that there are many safety plastic protector for wire, and they may cause fire if not detected on time. The major problem i had experience with the car is that, within this two year that i driven it, the engine shut down while i was in the vehicle stationary standing at a red light no once, not twice but a thee times, the last time my family was in the car, including my granddaughter. I am really afraid to drive the car on the highways, at this point i don't know what to do, i called the main depot of hyundai, i told the problem they set up another appointment with me this coming friday. Do i have to wait the vehicle's engine to stop again to file for a lemon law. Please i need advice before this turns ugly and may cause serious damage for passenger or passerby if the engine fail at the wrong time. Last time (after the engine stops for the second time) hyundai tried to fixed the problem by updating the software. But it seems that this solution did not work. Because the engine stops for a third time. |
