Consumer Description

I was driving the car, and without warning, it just said engine overheating and shut off. If I had pulled out in front of someone, I could easily have gotten killed. There was no prior indication of anything wrong. Just riding down the road and it just shut off for no reason and would not restart. Towed it to the dealership and they told me that I need a new electronic control module and quoted a price of $4,000. That is freaking outrageous for something that should never have gone wrong in this car. I researched online and there are multiple Hyundai Genesis sedan owners have had a problem with the electronic control module going out for no reason. This is something Hyundai should be held accountable for as it is a major safety hazard. For your car to just shut off for no reason while driving it, is extremely dangerous and life-threatening.
