MY HYUNDAI VERACRUZ SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS MAKING A TURN. I LOST POWER STEERING AND JUST AVERTED HITTING A CONCRETE BLOCK HOLDING A SIGN. PRIOR TO THE SHUT DOWN, I STARTED LOSING ACCELERATION EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, BALTIMORE PIKE, SPRINGFIELD, PA. I COULDN'T EVEN GET THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. IT WAS HORRIBLE AND SCARY. A FEW MONTHS AGO I LOST ACCELERATION AND THE CAR STARTED RUNNING ROUGH - ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO SAME DEALERSHIP ABOVE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS AN …

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD DIFFICULTIES WITH THE ESC IN MY CAR. THE FIRST TIME THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON AND CAUSED THE CAR TO NOT SHIFT OUT OF REVERSE. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS, IT FINALLY WORKED BUT THE ESC HAD TO BE FIXED. IN SUMMER 2010 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE ESC LIGHT CAME ON, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, STEERING LOCKED UP, AND NO POWER TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. I HAD TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF (WHILE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD) AND TURN THE CAR BACK ON. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSH…
