Consumer Description

CHARGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED, COMPLETE ENGINE AND BATTERY FAILURE, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE "READY" LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE BATTERY LEVEL STARTED DROPPING WITHOUT THE ENGINE STARTING AND RECHARGING. I WAS THEN UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE AND WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE "READY" LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF THEN STAYED OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO HYUNDAI WHERE I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE 'LOCKED UP' AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BATTERY BECAUSE IT COULDN'T BE RECHARGED.
