NHTSA Complaint #11319369 — 2017 HYUNDAI SONATA

AFTER A TIRE CHANGE THE HAZARD LIGHT AND TIRE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT TO THE SHOP AND SEE IF THE SENSOR NEEDS TO BE RESET. I TOOK IT IN A SHOP AND THE TIRE LIGHT WENT AWAY BUT THE HAZARD LIGHT REMAINED. AFTER ABOUT A WEEK WITH THE HAZARD LIGHT ON, I WAS DRIVING IN THE MORNING AROUND 7:30AM THE CAR STARTED TO BRAKE ITSELF WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 30MPH ON AN AUSTIN TOWN STREET. I PULLED OVER DUE TO RISK OF GETTING REAR ENDED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ABOUT 10 FEET BEFORE IT DID IT AGAIN AND I PARKED. THE "CHECK HYBRID ENGINE" LIGHT THEN CAME ON. I SAT FOR ABOUT 20 MIN AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON AND THE "CHECK HYBRID BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CAR WOULDNT TURN ON. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THEM TOW IT TO HAPPY HYBRID IN AUSTIN TX AND WAS ADVISED IT MAY BE MY HYBRID BATTERY GENERATOR AS MY HYBRID BATTERY WAS AT 5%. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT BUT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH AUSTIN TX ON SOUTH IH-35. IT HAS BEEN THERE NOW FOR 2 WEEKS AND I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS MAY BE RELATED TO 2 RECALLS I HAVE ON MY VEHICLE BUT THEY ARE NOT SURE. I PURCHASED THIS CAR FEBRUARY 2018 AND IT IS NOW MARCH 2020. ONLY 2 YEARS.
