At first in the beginning my car does it once in a blue moon; however now everyday for the past two months my car would power down while being at a red light, stop sign, or in motion. When it powers down the engine and battery lights comes on. I would have to put the car in park and restart my car. It normally does it twice everyday. This is a safety hazard for myself and my baby. I'm scared that a car would come up behind and hit me while my baby is in the car. I fear our lives. When I took it to autozone for them to check and see why my check engine light was on the code was always catalytic converter. I went to go get that fix and my car is still having the same problem. Also, when my car is in motion the RPM doesn't move it stays at 0. also, the sensor for the passenger air bag isn't working. When somebody is sitting on the passenger side the airbag light is off, but when somebody isn't sitting there the airbag light is on. I haven't been in any accidents.

This is the second time I'm reporting this defect. I bought a brand new car on 11/28/2015 less than a week later while driving the normal speed limit the car began to power down and the engine light and battery light came on. I had to put the car in park then restart the car again this happened several times. The car was towed to the dealer to be serviced. I was told a new transmission was needed, the the torque converter locked up and this is what caused the car to power down and engine light and battery light to come on. Anyway a new transmission was put in the car and I was given the car back. The car was in the dealer service shop for a week. Now less than a week later the car is doing it again, powering down while driving, then engine light and battery light comes on. This is a safety risk!!! I have a child I fear for our life. I reported this to Consumer Affairs, BBB, the potamkin Hyundai dealership where I bought the car, Hyundai customer service, nhsta and anyone who would listen!. all I get is the run around, well, this is going to bethe second time the car is going to be serviced for this safety risk.

I have owned this car which was stated to be brand new for just about 3 month. A few weeks ago I had to pull over for a flat tire. This week same thing. When the car was towed to route 60 Hyundai I was told the damage was front end damage causing the 3 month old tires to wear to the cords. These are hankook tires which have been subject to many class action lawsuits. Route 60 basically called me a liar and insisted I caused the front end damage. This car is unsafe and this dealership should be ashamed of themselves for not honoring their contract and warranty.
