I WAS DRIVING AND SUDDENLY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, MY CAR WAS SHAKING, AND NOT SHIFTING PAST FIRST GEAR. HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THEY SAID THE IGNITION CABLES AND SPARK PLUGS WERE FAULTY. THEY HAD SEEN THIS ON HYUNDAI'S BEFORE. *TR

MY DAUGHTER'S CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHEN SHE IS DRIVING IN THE STREET. THE CAR WAS TAKEN ON AUGUST 17, 2016, TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WE WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP AND SENSOR. IT WAS REPLACED AND THEY CHARGED US $800. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. NOW, THE DEALERSHIP IS REPLACING THE CAMSHAFT SENSORS WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS IS THE PROBLEM. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREETS OR HIGHWAY. IT CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
