Consumer Description
DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS, OUR VEHICLE HAS STALLED THREE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE WE WERE EXITING THE FREEWAY. THE VEHICLE JUST STALLED AND WE ALMOST LOST TOTAL CONTROL OF THE CAR ( VERY SCARY). THE FOLLOWING DAY, WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND CLEANED ALL THE GROUNDS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE HOPE THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THEIR REPAIR SOLVES THE PROBLEM. *TR
