Safely stopped the car on the shoulder of road. turned car on and off and resumed driving. problem repeated (this time with steering trying to lock at center) another 1/2 mile down the road. stopped again and pulled and reseated apparently undamaged fuse in under hood fuse box. restarted car and switched drive mode from "normal" to "sport" which changes the cars EPS power assist profile. drove remaining 18 miles home without incident. currently trying to schedule service appointment with dealer.

ENGINE

This car was recalled for a bad engine and because their computer would not throw off a code they refused to replace the bad engine. It has 60000 miles on it and has been well maintained. The rocker arms have gone bad and there are countless others who have the same issue that Hyundai refuses to address because now computer code was thrown off. They hide behind this to avoid replacing their bad engines.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,BACK OVER PREVENTION

When you put the car in DRIVE it will go in REVERSE. Happened several times and on the last time caused us to back into a pole and mess up the back bumper. We were trying to go forward but went in reverse. We have video proof but I can't load the video in this document.

STEERING,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE

While driving the vehicle has stalled/engine shuts off at different speeds and also while the vehicle's steering wheel is turned to move it into a different direction (for example making a right turn at a perpendicular street/road). There is a concern for the operator's safety and others operating around a stalling vehicle especially at higher velocity/speeds and when traffic is heavy. The dealership has recommended an engine replacement, not sure if the dealer has been able to reproduce the problem. Currently, the vehicle has only been inspected by a dealership. The flashing engine light first appeared on 06/07/2024, this would be the second time the vehicle stalled (engine shut off) on the same day.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Passenger side door will not latch or lock. Door remains opened while driving.
