DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED AND THEN TURNED OFF COMPLETELY. NO POWER BRAKES, NO POWER STEERING. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AND WAS ABLE TO COAST OF THE ROAD AND DOWN A RAMP. CAR FAILED TO RE-START OR TURN OVER. WE WERE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS IN 100 DEGREE HEAT WAITING FOR HELP. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI. NHTSA PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE FAULTY MOTORS...SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN. HYUNDAI LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE MOTOR UNDER WARRANTY.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET BUT ABS,ESC,DBC AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ALL ON. I HAVE LOOKED THIS UP AND IT SEEMS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OF THESE VEHICLES. I'M JUST WONDERING WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN APPROVED, FOR ALL THESE SYSTEMS ARE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES. I'M BRINGING MINE TO THE DEALERSHIP MONDAY BUT WAS TOLD I WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYMENT OF THIS PROBLEM.
