Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. MY TIRE WAS FLAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN A DESERT AND I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO CHANGE MY TIRE. I TRIED TO START MY VEHICLE AND ALL ACCESSORIES TURN ON AND THE CAR UNLOCKS WITH THE ELECTRIC KEY FOB BUT THE CAR DOESN'T START. INHIBITOR SWITCH IS BAD IS FAULTY. IT STARTS SOMETIMES AND DOESN'T START AT SOMETIMES. MANY PEOPLE HAVE BECOME STRANDED DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND HAVE REPORTED IT ON CAR GURU AND MANY OTHER HYUNDAI FORUMS. EVERYONE BELIEVES THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS FAULTY ISSUE.
