On Tuesday, June 8, 2010 I was on a busy interstate highway with fast moving traffic and my car lost all power while traveling at 70 mph. Fortunately, I was able to barely glide the sante fe to the shoulder and stop without incident. Follow up: 3 pm visited Hyundai service center and was told that it was not a throttle problem. They are in contact with CA service to determine cause of problem. Friday, 6-11-10 after complete testing of all circuits, Hyundai declares no source of problem. Auto was picked up at 4:30 pm Hyundai assistant service manager: bob wood Hyundai case # 3982284 the specifics are: ? SUV was purchased 8/09 and currently has 5200 miles. ? cruise control was on but not engaged. ? gas tank indicator on one-half. ? with my foot on gas pedal the initial instinct was that the engine had lost all power. O pressing harder on gas pedal had no reaction. O there was an opening in traffic and with the SUV forward inertia I was able to just reach the road shoulder. O observed that red indicators were on (battery, oil) ? reset transmission selector to park, turned off key. O first restart-nothing happened o second restart SUV started and I did not turn off until reaching home. Obviously, this is a serious life threatening situation that needs to be researched thoroughly and corrected.
