Description of the problem | Stopped at a gas station to get gas, turned the vehicle ignition off, pumped gas, got back in & started the vehicle, sat there for a minute or two put the vehicle in park & pressed the gas, rpm's revved way up but the vehicle would not move forward. Checked everything to make sure i wasn't overlooking anything; no 'check engine' light came on or any other dashlights, emergency brake was not engaged. Turned the switch off & on several times, waiting a few minutes each time, then would start and shift into reverse (it would back up), neutral, & finally drive & still nothing happened. Finally gave up, put it in reverse & backed away from the pumps to a safe place. Called hyundai blue link but they were no help as the vehicle wasn't sending any codes. I tried a couple more times then gave up & had it towed to the dealership (after speaking with the salesman). Once it was off the truck, the salesman tried it several times & got the same result. He was just as stunned as i was. On mon i called hyundai america & opened a case so there would be documentation. I had done some research online over the weekend & found a hyundai forum where people were discussing the same problem that i was had. I then went to the dealership & met with the service director & the technician working on my vehicle. Of course, they didn't know what to do even though it had done the same thing with the service director that morning but he finally got it to move. The dealership called hyundai tech services & they made an update/adjustment. For now it seems to be fine, but i am totally paranoid about driving it now! I think it's very important that the nhtsa get involved & get to the bottom of this issue as soon as possible. |
