NHTSA Complaint #10897697 — 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA

I DRIVE 45 MINUTES ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY BETWEEN FORT COLLINS, CO AND CHEYENNE, WY EACH DAY. AS I ARRIVED IN CHEYENNE AND EXITED THE FREEWAY I MADE ONE TURN TO THE RIGHT ON TO MISSLE DR AND WAS ROLLING FORWARD WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. EVERYTHING STOPPED WORKING. I MANAGED TO MAKE A TURN TO THE LEFT AND COAST SLIGHTLY UP THE HILL NEAR THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WHEN I GOT OUT OF THE CAR, NOTHING WORKED AND I COULD SMELL AND SEE ELECTRICAL SMOKE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND MELTED THE STARTER. I DID SEE SMOKE BUT NO FLAMES. I AM VERY THANKFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AT 75 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE BETWEEN FT COLLINS AND CHEYENNE. AT THIS TIME I'M WAITING TO HEAR IF MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.
