Consumer Description

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE, I KNOW OTHERS HAVE REPORTED A SIMILAR PROBLEM. WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN OUR 2012 GENESIS 3.8L THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AT THIS POINT. MY WIFE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THIS ISSUE COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED. THE CAR HAS DIED IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN GOING AROUND A CURVE. POWER STEERING IS LOST WHEN THIS OCCURS MAKING IT A BIT NERVE WRACKING. THIS IS AN ISSUE HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE.
