Description of the problem | Today, july 6, 2016, at approximately 1:35 p. M., i electronically started my 2016 hyundai tucson vehicle, which has only about 6,000 miles on it, and drove from my home on a county road until i reached a signal intersection at a state highway about 2 miles away. I stopped at a red light at the state highway intersection with the engine running waiting for the signal light to turn green to turn left onto the state highway. When the light turned green, my vehicle would not move. It was in drive gear and the engine was running but it would not go forward even though the engine was definitely running and there were no warning lights or code lights showing on the dash to indicate a problem. I turned on the emergency flashers as there were several vehicles coming up behind me at the signal. I then tried putting the vehicle in park then back into drive but the vehicle still could not move forward. I tried putting the vehicle into reverse and it would not move backwards either. I then tried turning the vehicle off then back on several times using the electronic ignition but the vehicle could not move. A police officer arrived, parked behind me, and assisted with traffic now backed up behind me. He called a tow truck for me and my vehicle was towed to the local hyundai dealer where i had purchased the vehicle a few months ago. I was instantly concerned that this could happen while driving and be a major safety problem. As it was, i was immediately concerned that someone coming up behind me might crash into me after the light turned green while i was immobile at the signal. I asked a lady who asked me what was wrong when she drove around me if she could see my flashers and she said she had. Both the police officer and my husband checked the vehicle and could not figure out why the vehicle could not move. |
