Description of the problem | The car won't start after several attempts. This has been a recurring incident for the last several months. When it has happened i was left stranded and i had to get a tow truck in several occasions. The irony is that after the tow truck delivers the car to the destination the car will start normally. This issue is driving me crazy. I also took the car to the dealer several times and they never seem to find any problems. There are no error codes and they can't reproduce. After doing some research in the web, i see several reported cases like mine and with similar diagnostics and outcome. It seems it is related to the inhibitor switch or range switch and it has been reported on several hyundai models like elantra, sonata, veloster, etc... The manufacturer should have a recall on this issue and fix it immediately. I will never buy another one of these korean cars again. The service is awful. |
