Consumer Description

PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR QUIT, LEAVING ME STARRING DOWN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE AND GET IT RESTARTED. THIS HAPPENED TWICE DURING THE SAME DAY. IT WILL ALSO ONLY CHARGE THE BATTERIES TO 50%, AND SOMETIME THE CAR WON'T OPERATE ON ONLY BATTERY POWER. THIS IS A POTENTIAL VERY SERIOUS ITEM THEY NEED TO ADDRESS, OR START RETURNING MONEY TO THE OWNERS. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. IT IS A DANGEROUS CAR, NEVER KNOWING WHEN IT WILL QUIT. I HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SONATA HYBRID. *TR
