Pulled over to shoulder on Florida turnpike to adjust seat belt and the car started a very rough idling and would not engage in drive. Reported it to dealer and Hyundai motor America and following was their reply: -dealer: This is a characteristic of these vehicles that they don't know how to correct -Hyundai: They are aware of the problem and are working to resolve it. In the meantime I am driving a car that is not reliable to me from a safety standpoint and two dealers in miami, doral and lehman Hyundai service managers have told me that there is nothing they can do until the factory tells them how to correct the issue, your assistance will be very much appreciated.

Vehicle was stopped at a traffic light and started idling roughly and engine shut off. Doral had a Hyundai motor "field engineer" ([xxx]) look at it on July 11 and I was informed through the service adviser that this was typical of these models and that she, personally, had chosen to ignore it; she works for a Hyundai dealership. Furthermore, nothing can be done. Please refer to previous complaint. Thank you. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

My wife was trying to park her car when the car suddenly accelerated without her touching the gas or the brake. Luckily, she was able to stop by slamming on the brakes. I've heard recent cases of people not being able to stop when this happens.

When driving the vehicle on the high way I 29 N at about 68-72 mph the brand new vehicle engine stalled abruptly and the steering wheel froze and we were stuck in the direction the steering was previously turned it and it made impossible for us to steer it on to the shoulder and the vehicle behind us almost crashed into us. We were just a whisker away from getting killed. We had a near death experience and my fiance is still having nightmares about it.
