2014 Hyundai Sonata was dropped off to nearby Hyundai dealership for scheduled recall appointment campaigns 180, 953, 160, 162, and 946 on 04/24/2019. Dealership communicated to me all recall inspections were made, and no further repairs or replacements to the car was needed at approximately 11:30am on 04/24/2019. Car was then picked up through the sales department at my earliest convenience on 04/25/2019 at approximately 7:00pm. After driving 9 miles on a 55mph street, my car lost immediate acceleration/power causing the speed to reduce without warning, and without brake lights activated (witness to this is the individual who drove me to the dealership to pick up the car, and was currently driving behind me at the time of the incident). After immediate loss of acceleration/power (the car was moving at 55mph), the check engine light began blinking. The car was immediately moved off the road, and a burning smell was detected after removing myself from the vehicle. As the service department was unavailable, the sales department from who gave me my car we're unable to properly assist me with receiving a tow back to the dealership, and provide me with a loaner car for the cars inability to be driven. At approximately 8:50pm, a tow arrived to take the vehicle back to Hyundai's dealership in which the recall inspections and campaigns were performed. Dealership approved a rental for the following day, yet unavailable/unable to be approved until the service department re-opened. Currently, the dealership has me in a rental car through enterprise, covering the cost except for $1. 00 a day (which is to be paid by me). More so, as this is not my car, an additional coverage charge of $9. 00 per day was required to insure me coverage in the event the rental is involved in an unexpected accident. As of 04/28/2019, I am waiting to hear an update from the dealership about my car.
My brakes lights stopped working in mid air. This can pose a danger to other drivers who are riding behind me with my vehicle having no brake indication. This happened in my 2009 santa fe and had multiple rear ends. This is a big concern for myself and my families safety as well as other.
I have never needed to replace my brake lights so they are the original ones my car came with. After being informed my brake lights were out when I went to check them the light bulbs were melted to the socket and have not been able to get any replacement light bulbs to work even with new sockets.
