Consumer Description

THIS IS ON THE HYBRID SONATA. TWICE IN 2 WEEKS, I AM DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY, I FELT A JERK IN THE CAR, THE READY LIGHT FLASHES AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL SHOWS UP. THE CAR IS ON BATTERY POWER ONLY. I COAST ON BATTERY TILL I CAN PULL INTO A PARKING LOT. SHUT THE CAR OFF. LUCKILY BOTH TIMES IT STARTED BACK UP. BOB KING HYUNDAI IN WINSTON-SALEM SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD DO THAT. WE ARE WAITING ON SOME PARTS THAT ARE UPDATES, BUT DON'T KNOW IF THAT WILL FIX THE SHUT DOWN ISSUE. *TR
