Consumer Description
I was driving to work after dropping my son off and I took a right turn onto a street and my car slowed down and the check engine light came on, flashing. I continued to drive to work as I was one minute away and needed to get off the street asap. (where I turned had no room for pulling over). I parked my car. I had a prenatal appointment to go to, so I started my car. No check engine light when started until I got on the on ramp to the mass pike, my car went from 50 to 35 in a matter of minutes. I went into the breakdown lane until the next exit which was only a mile or so. I pulled into a gas station and called my husband to come get me as I still had an appointment to go to. After my appointment we retuned to my car and had it towed to the dealership as it is not safe to drive while pregnant. They told me it may be an engine issue and they will try to expedite my car. What annoys me is that this happened before and they claimed it was because I was over my oil change mileage and deemed it my fault and made me pay almost 300 for them to fix it. Yet I feel as if that just bought my engine time before it actually failed. This also happened with my 2015 Sonata Sport back in like 2018/2019 before someone rear ended me and totaled me. But what is my luck that this happens with 2 of my Hyundai. It is very frustrating.
