Consumer Description

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING 65MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE A TICKING SOUND WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATOR LIGHTS BEING ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE THEN BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PAST 2000RPM. I THEN PULLED OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND WENT INTO A PARKING LOT AS SOON AS MY VEHICLE STOPPED ALL OF THE INDICATOR AND WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. WHEN RESTARTING THE CAR THE TICKING IS NOW ALOT WORSE AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF RIGHT AWAY. I THEN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND I AM HAVING IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR INSPECTION.
