Description of the problem | On october 26th my husband was driving myself and our 2 children when all of a sudden we went from going 45 miles an hour to stopping and then even after the gas pedal was pushed all the way to the floor we we were going approx 5 miles am hour. Our engine light came on and aftet approx 5 to 10 min we found a place to pull over as there were no pulloffs readily available. Aftet we pulled off the road we shut the car off for a few minutes and restarted the car and were able to make it home . The engine ligjt was still on but power and speed were restored. We called our hyundai dealer on fri morning and they said to bring it down on monday. The car sat all weekend and was not driven due ro fear of it happening again. I did however start the car on friday and engine light was still on. We brought the car down mon at 9am. The engine light was now off but the hyundai mechanic said even if the light was off a code would still be in the system. We received a call around 3pm saying they could not find anything wrong but even they did not under why no code at all showed up. They are keeping the car until friday to keep starying and driving it to see if something happens. Mu husband did report the issue to hyundai and they said they will investigate. If this were to happen again with someone driving behind us it could be a very serious accident. Very nervous and scared something can happen especially driving my yound children around. |
