Car shut off full power off while on a residential road and I went across the road up a slanted small hill and ran over tree and yard debris.
Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Genesis. While driving 25 mph, the contact approached a traffic light and the vehicle shut off. All the warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. After waiting a few minutes, the contact was able to restart the vehicle and drive home. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Engine shutdown and lost steering and brake control when making a right turn. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Details: on both the times, when I was trying to make a right turn at a slow speed the engine shut down and I lost control of steering was well as brakes. I had to put the car in park, in the middle of the intersection and push button to start the car again. Luckily there was nothing in the way (car or a pedestrian), or else there would have been an accident. This could be an even dangerous issue if this happens when making a left turn or when on a freeway. Please issue a recall for this, and have Hyundai fix this problem.
This has been an ongoing issue, I know others have reported a similar problem. When coming to a stop in our 2012 Genesis 3. 8l the engine will shut off without any warning. This has happened more than a dozen times at this point. My wife took it to the dealer who said this issue couldn't be duplicated. The car has died in traffic and when going around a curve. Power steering is lost when this occurs making it a bit nerve wracking. This is an issue Hyundai needs to address before someone is injured or worse.
The car stalled and engine shut off while moving. I was driving on a surface street when the car shut off, all indicator lights were on, temp gauge was normal, fuel tank was more that 3/4 full. The car started up again and drove away normally.
