Description of the problem | My car was 8 days old with less than 400 miles. When pulling out from a parking with a slight downhill drive turning right on to a four lane road and experienced no power to move the vehicle. I thought either my wife or i accidentally bumped the gear selector into neutral but it was in drive. Traffic was approaching at somewhere close to 45-50 mph which is the speed limit. Fortunately the cars coming up on us were able to go around us. We coasted into the other driveway about 200 feet from where we entered and after getting my heart rate down i was able to get it in gear. We drove around the lot for several minutes before attempting to renter the highway. This was our second day of a 9 day vacation trip about 200 miles from home. We stayed another week and severely limited our driving, i filed a case with hyundai corporate and called my sales rep and service dept and said we were not comfortable with the return trip home since it involved winding mountain roads from 7000 foot elevation to 1000 feet in phoenix. He arranged a rental car for our return and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. We took the rental back and they supplied us with a loaner to use until july 11. We are leaving town again and returning on the 28th so they will have our car til then. We sincerely hope a fix is found by then as we really like the car and want to keep it but if a fix is not found we will have to determine plan b. |
