| Description of the problem | While driving i noticed the battery light going on. I parked it for the night and began to drive it the next day. After driving for a few minutes, i noticed the battery light going on again. The radio began to turn off and on, and many different lights on the dash began to flash. I decided to return home to prevent getting stranded. As i turned around, i noticed that i began to lose power in the vehicle although i was trying to accelerate. I made it home and parked the car. I tried to start it later and the battery was now dead even thought the battery is less than a year old. I decided to do some research online and noticed others having similar issues in regards to this and having an oil leak. This reminded me that when i had an oil change recently, i was told of an oil leak hitting the alternator. I have researched my vin only to find no recalls for it although i am experiencing similar symptoms of recall 121 for hyundai. This is a very dangerous issue, because i was losing power as i was driving on the streets trying to get home. Some streets were small residential and some were larger streets. |
