Consumer Description

CAR HAS BEGUN RANDOMLY AND UNPREDICTABLY "STALLING" WHILE IN MOTION. JUST SIMPLY STOPS MOVING FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS , NOT RESPONDING TO GAS PEDAL . THIS HAS BEEN BOTH AS CAR STARTS FROM STOPPED POSITION AS WELL AS DURING CRUISING. BECAUSE MOST OF OUR DRIVING IS CITY, WE DO NOT KNOW IF CAR WILL STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAYS NOW. HUNDAI WILL NOT ATTEMPT ANY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY CANNOT DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. WE FEEL IT IS EITHER A BAD COMPUTER OR A TRANSMISSION ISSUE. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTED EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN INTO HUNDAI SEVERAL TIMES
