NHTSA Complaint #11281690 — 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA

"HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING SAFELY STOP AND DO NOT DRIVE" MESSAGE COME UP ON THE DISPLAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIME. THE FIRST TIME AT A STOP LIGHT, AND THE MOTOR KEPT REVVING AND WOULD THE CAR WOULD JUMP FORWARD WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE. AFTER GETTING OFF THE ROAD, PARKED, KILLED THE CAR AND CRANKED IT BACK UP. THE MESSAGE CLEARED. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF A COUPLE TIMES AND MADE A TRIP ROUND THE PARKING LOT, STOPPING, SIFTING GEARS, ETC... WITH NO LUCK OF DUPLICATING THE ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME TWO MONTHS LATE, I WAS JUST PARKED AND THE MESSAGE CAME ON AS I WAS KILLING IT. I TRIED CRANKING THE CAR BUT KEPT GETTING THE ERROR AND THE EPS CAME ON BUT THE CAR DIDNT CRANK AND COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. MULTIPLE ON AND OFFS THE CAR FULL CRANKED UP AND WAS ABLE TAKE IT OUT OF PARK AND DRIVE FOR TEST SPIN AROUND THE PARKING LOT, TEST THE GEARS FROM D TO P .. NEVER GOT IT TO DO IT AGAIN. A WEEK LATER DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER. TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF AND ALL THE LIGHTS CLEARED. ABOUT A MONTH LATER GOT IN THE CAR TO GOT WORK AND THE SAME MESSAGE CAME ON ALONG WITH A CHECK ENGINE. THE CAR CRANKED BUT THE MESSAGE WOULDNT GO AWAY AFTER MULTIPLE ON/OFF'S AND SHIFTING OF GEARS. I SHOULD MENTION THAT WHEN YOU SHIFT THROUGH THE GEARS THE THE LIGHT ON THE DASH LINE UP. I NEVER HAVE PROBLEM WHILE SWITCHING GEAR FROM P TO R OR DRIVE. MOST WHILE DRIVING/STOPPING OR AFTER PARKING GOING FROM D TO P. LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE TOWED IN TO THE DEALER NOW.
