NHTSA Complaint #10622208 — 2012 HYUNDAI VELOSTER

FOR THE 4TH TIME, MY 2012 VELOSTER LITERALLY SHUT OFF WHILE BEING DRIVEN. IT DOES NOT STALL. IT SHUTS OFF ENTIRELY. NO ELECTRIC. NO POWER. NO NOTHING. LUCKILY, THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN DOING UNDER 15MPH OR STOPPED AT A LIGHT. IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY OR AT HIGH SPEEDS, IT IS QUITE CERTAIN THAT I WOULD BE IN AN ACCIDENT AS THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO ALERT OTHER MOTORISTS THAT MY VEHICLE CANNOT BE DRIVEN - THERE ARE NO BRAKE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING WHEN IT SHUTS OFF. WHEN IT SHUTS OFF, IT IS IN DRIVE. IT CANNOT BE PUT BACK INTO PARK. I HAVE TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL TO RESTART IT. IT DOES RESTART WITHOUT HESITATION. I DID TAKE IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER ONCE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOCATE ANY PROBLEM. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THIS AND SEE THAT HYUNDAI HAS THE SAME KIND OF PROBLEMS MOST OFTEN WITH THEIR SANTA FE MODELS. I HAVE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FROM HYUNDAI, BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE. *TR
