This is my second complaint about my fuel pump. Which was replaced last year. Again on 8/2/16 I was driving on the highway 495 south toward richmond va . I was driving 60mph. When my car shut down. I was almost rear ended trying to move on the side of the road. I had my car towed to the pohanika hyunda dealership in capitol heights, MD. The same place I had my fuel pump replaced last year. I was told it was the same problem and it happen to another car. I suspect it was a defective fuel pump. After I complain, the dealership states they will replace the part and not charge me, but I would have to pay $375. 00 for the labor. I complain to management and they say they would pay for half the labor. The reason I'm writing this letter, because if there is a defective part, I don't want someone to be hurt or kill behind the wheel, because of a defective part. I had file a complaint with your agency last year with no response. I also contact Hyundai costumer service and the better business bureau.
I was traveling on the beltway doing 65 mph, I pressed on the gas petal. I felt I was losing speed. I notice the speednometor decelerating down to 40mph while I was pressing the gas pedal. I put on my hazard lights pulled to the side of the road. I was concerned because no warning light came on, to notified me there was a problem with the vehicle. I took my car to the dealership, it was diagnosis as problem with my fuel pump. I check with Hyundai they said, the fuel pump does not have a warning light. My concern if some type of warning light should have appeard on the dashboard before I started the car. I would have not drove the car if the warning light was on, I would have took it to the dealership. I felt this was a safety issue because someone could have rear end me on the beltway, due to the sudden drop in speed. I have enjoyed my car so far, but I was disappointed regarding this incident. I have a son who drives my car, I am worried about his safety and the safety of others. I was assigned a case number with Hyundai 8216379. However, I spoke with a case manager joseph who said it was not much they could do. I wanted to have a record on file regarding this compliant, and to see if it could be investigated. Thank you.
