About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
When I approach an intersection to stop my car auto shut off engages. When trying to hit the gas to release my car from auto shut off the emergency auto shut off engages and I must put my car in park. Turn the ignition to off and then crank my car back all the way on. Release the park and drive. This happens intermittently for several weeks and I-??ve almost been rear ended several times. I have taken the car to a Hyundai dealership for the issue and they tell me nothing is wrong.

DTC subsystem EMS failed engine over heated. Car diagnostic failed displaying P00B700. Hyundai issued TSB covering issue dealer failed to notify since NHTSA did not require action. Car has been in garage waiting for appointment. This could have left me stranded.

The contact owns a 2023 Hyundai Sonata. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. An unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer; however, no error code was retrieved. The failure recurred while the contact was driving at 60 MPH. The vehicle was then taken to Serra Hyundai (1503 Gadsden Hwy, Trussville, AL 35235); however, no error code was retrieved, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80.

I was driving on the freeway, at the speed limit, cruising along. Then all of a sudden, my vehicle starts to decelerate from 65 MPH and I push the gas, thinking I must have let up too much on the pedal. However, that only causes the RPM to drastically rise with NO change in my speed. I thankfully managed to maneuver from the far left lane to the freeway shoulder on the far right. The whole time, my speed was around 40 MPH and dropping drastically. Trying to safely navigate a slowing vehicle on a 65+ Texas freeway is an adrenaline-rush that I wouldn-??t wish on anybody. I was severely panicking. I was almost hit by several vehicles in my maneuvering. I could have died last night. Once on the shoulder, I tried to start my car. I thought it may be a battery issue, but it turned on. It didn't start, though. The lights came on, as did all of the typical system/dash lights that usually indicate when a car-??s engine hasn-??t -??turned over.-?? I used Bluelink to call for roadside assistance (since I-??m only a little over 2 months into ownership) and waited. I was escorted off of the freeway to safety -?" thanks to a 3-car police escort AND free city tow trucks -?" and eventually picked up by Hyundai-serviced AAA. The latter then towed my vehicle to the dealership where I bought my Sonata. My car is currently being checked/inspected by my dealer (North Freeway Hyundai) and I only have gotten the following notice from Bluelink: "A possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected with your 2023 SONATA on 02/22/2023 at 07:23 am CST. A full system check is recommended to be done soon." I checked and there are no open recalls (currently). Even more concerning, my car recently underwent complimentary maintenance, including an oil change, through my dealer (on February 13, 2023 - I have the receipt), was good on gas, and had no warning lights displaying. Until it stopped running -?" the time I tried to start it on the side of the road, the dash showed an -??engine-?? light.
