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.

Car was returned to Hyundai under warranty in January 2002. Reported to have a bad torque converter and starter. Both replaced under warranty. Last week car wouldnt start again. Our mechanic diagnosed same problem. Was told that if car had been properly diagnosed as having extensive transmission problem while under warranty this would have been properly repaired and not patched up. Hyundai is now refusing to absorb cost since the car is no longer under warranty. Torque converters and starters dont go bad yearly!!! help!!.
