Sonata Plug-in Hybrid

  • 25,000 miles
I was going about 70 mph in full electric mode and the car removed all power from my gas pedal, there was lots of dinging sounds and the dash said "check hybrid system, turn your car off". luckily I was already to the far right so I could just pull tot he shoulder and stop the car, the breaks and steering were still working. Towed to the dealership, hoping the March 2018 recall is the fix. I had to call aaa, all blue link capabilities stopped working as well. 2016 plugin with about 25,000 miles.

Engine/electrical shut down occurred on interstate at high speed in traffic May 2017 narrowly missed being hit from behind. Multiple issues with check engine light, relay was replaced. Worked for awhile. Now (April 2018) back in shop for same problem - engine shut down and would not start had to have towed to Hyundai dealer. Checked recalls, found they know there is a problem but no remedy for it. Would appreciate a buy back please. Can't sell it or trade it knowing it is dangerous. Case #10258851
