Consumer Description
The car is stalling with no warning lights. The engine would quit running and I would have coat it into a safe spot, this happened while I was crossing an intersection and driving down the road at 35 MPH or less. I would have to turn the key off and then turn it to start and it would suddenly restart only to stall again. It is not the battery at all. My dad is a mechanic himself and pinpointed the issue to the engine and he said he has never seen an engine quit and restart like this without warning from the check engine light. He believes that it did not fail because of wear and tear but rather from a defect in the engine. He further expanded that the defect can also be connected to a faulty computer system not being able to recognize the engine failure. He feel Hyundai needs to recognize these complaints and take them seriously. Hyundai needs to recall these cars and fix the problem.
