Description of the problem | We currently lease the 2016 hyundai tucson fuel cell. On multiple occasions there has been a sudden and sporadic loss of power during normal driving operation. Most recently, while traveling approximately 70 mph on a ca fwy the car lost about 90% of its power without warning bringing max speed to less than 15 mph! Occupying the car pool lane at the time, we had to navigate 6 lanes of speeding traffic within moments in order to bring the vehicle to a safe position. Once safe we immediately called the hyundai support line included in our lease with this "test" vehicle only to receive inconsistent information and the runaround. Now, it has been over two weeks and we know nothing more about what caused this sudden and abrupt loss of power that could have let to a violent accident (if not for our quick and controlled response). This vehicle has less than 24,000 miles yet hyundai and their anaheim ca dealer not only cannot figure out the issue but cannot guarantee us that the issue will not reoccur without warning in the future. Making this vehicle unsafe for operation! |
