Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE SONATA WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LOST ITS FORCE AND WOULDN'T MOVE. WHILE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET I WAS PUSHING THE GAS PEDDLE BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THE ESC OFF LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AS WELL. I POWERED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON BUT THE CAR STILL DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF FORCE, BUT ENOUGH TO GET TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. I LEFT THE CAR OFF IN A PARKING LOT FOR ABOUT 5 MIN AND TURNED IT BACK ON. THE ESC LIGHT TURNED OFF, BUT NOT THE CHECK ENGINE. THERE HAVE BEEN SIMILAR PROBLEMS WHERE ITS A SWITCH IN THE BRAKE PEDDLE BUT THAT SHOULD NOT MAKE THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALERSHIP SINCE I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR 2 WEEKS AGO AND NOW I'M WAITING FOR DIAGNOSTICS TO COME BACK. *TR
