Description of the problem | I was out of town for a tennis tournament driving 4 women and with another group in another car. Driving along on a city street, and i braked, when i went to accelerate the car would not move. I put it in park, then drive again, nothing but revving. Turned it off and back on several times, still nothing. Luckily my friend was able to park behind me with her hazards on too, to prevent people from rear-ending me. The car would go in reverse but not forward. We pushed it out of the road into a parking lot and called roadside assistance. I had to have it towed to a hyundai dealer, and after about an hr or so they said they reset the computer and it should be fine. I had already had the software update. I got the car in oct 2015, and at the time of the incident it had 9800 miles on it. I am afraid to drive it now, it gets sluggish or revs at various times, which makes me think it will happen again. How long before hyundai does something about this? Otherwise, i love the car, just scary knowing it could just stop with no warning. |
