| Description of the problem | I have been notified my wife's car needs the hyundai service campaign number 953 performed on her car. See below link. Https://autoservice. Hyundaiusa. Com/campaign953/micrositetemplate/micrositetemplatevinvalidate/3402 my concern is if this software update is performed on her car what will happen when this car goes into the safety mode? If this car slows down and reduces power with no warning what may happen? What if my wife is pulling out in traffic and the car goes into the engine safety mode with oncoming traffic? I fear once the car goes into the safety mode with reduce power and no adequate warning she me be hit by another vehicle. What measures has hyundai taken to ensure a driver has adequate warning of the vehicle going into safe mode so they can get out of harms way of the flow of traffic to ensure they will not be hit before the vehicle goes into safe mode and reduces power? All i am trying to do is prevent a potential accident when this car goes into safe mode. |
