Around a year ago (Feb 14, 2018), I received a message "hybrid system warning, please stop now". My car shut down and thank god, I was pulling into my apartment complex. My car was inspected and was told it was the tps system. That was replaced and I was on my way. Over 7 months ago (July 2018), I received the same message; "hybrid system warning, please stop vehicle now". After the warning, my car stopped immediately and this time the road was clear and I was able to coast to the side of the road. After thornton road Hyundai inspected my care again, this time they stated it was the motor. After over $5000 worth of work here it is April 2019 and the same warning. This time I was stranded on a busy highway. Once the tow truck guy got there, he escorted me to his truck to be safe. I have looked into this warning over a year and no one seems to know the problem. This should be a recall and all Hyundai dealers should be made aware of what this warning is. We as Hyundai owners need answers and help. I cannot afford to put money into a car when the problem is only being patched up.
Engine shut off and battery only lets you go 1/4 mile pulled into parking lot turned car off waited 5 minutes and car started back up. Took car to dealer but could not find anything wrong told me to drive it. It happened again in April they had car for 7 days but could not find anything. Told me to drive it. It started again on june17th they say there is nothing wrong.
