I put in a new battery and some of them the memory doesn't work right.
Tl-the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. The contact stated that while in attempt to make a right turn at 5 mph that the vehicle stalled causing the power steering to seize, the brakes failed with the battery and check engine warning lights illuminated. The failure had occurred two more additional times. The last occurence, the vehicle was pushed to a parking lot. A tow company was called, however the vehicle started back up on its own. The vehicle was not towed, and driven back home. The local dealer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted or made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000. Jb.
The common denominator for what I experienced has been that the car is moving slowly, 5-20 mph (7th or 8th gear), and you floor the accelerator while changing the lane (to merge quickly). All that happens for 1-2 seconds is that the car coasts at the speed you were going (absolutely no power is applied to the wheels), and you see the revs going up and the transmission shifting to a lower and lower gear (but not sending any of that power to the wheels), until it gets to the 2nd or 3rd gear and then your head snaps back as it accelerates very quickly (but 2 seconds too late). So instead of the expected takeoff you get 2 seconds of coasting while the car in the lane that you got into is getting uncomfortably close and has to brake to prevent an accident. This is extremely dangerous and unexpected.
