Consumer Description

CAR WOULDN'T START. EVERYTHING WENT DEAD. HAD CAR TOWED FROM NY CITY TO DEALER IN NJ. THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. THIS OCCURRED ON SEPT 27, 2015. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON DEC. 27, 2015. SEVERAL PEOPLE TRIED TO JUMP START IT TO NO AVAIL. TOW TRUCK ARRIVED AND WAS GOING TO TOW IT FROM NY STATE TO NJ DEALER. TRIED TO JUMP IT AGAIN AND IT TOOK A JUMP. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ON DEC 28, 2015 AND THEY FOUND BATTERY WAS GOOD AND CHECKED ELECTRICAL AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND I LOSE POWER AND HAVE NO BRAKES OR STEERING OR STOP LIGHTS AND I COULD BE KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE INJURED. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN A PARKING SPACE ON A CITY STREET OR PARKING LOT IN A MALL. CAUSE UNKNOWN. I HAVE NO RECORDS OF THE TOW FROM NY CITY BUT IT WAS TOWED BY HYUNDAI SO THEY HAVE A RECORD. *JS
