POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE'S ENGINE HAS STOPPED RUNNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IN EACH CASE THE VEHICLE WAS COASTING AT A SLOW SPEED, I WAS NOT APPLYING MY FOOT TO THE GAS PEDAL AT THE TIME. THE ELECTRICAL POWER DID NOT DIE, NOR WAS THERE JERKING OR NOISE TO INDICATE THE ENGINE HAD STOPPED. THE ONLY SIGN THAT THE ENGINE HAD STALLED WAS THE "MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP" CAME ON, AND NO ACCELERATION POWER. I STILL HAD LIGHTS, RADIO, FAN, ETC. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES IN BACK OF ME AT THE TIME. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE CAR, I HAD TO SHIFT FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL, TURN THE IGNITION KEY TO RE-START, THEN SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE. FOR EACH INCIDENT, THE CAR RESTARTED RIGHT AWAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN OCTOBER 2010 MY 6-MONTH OLD HYUNDAI ELANTRA TOURING CAUGHT FIRE AFTER SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY FOR NINE HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED. MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO) SECURED THE CAR AND HIRED A FORENSIC ENGINEERING COMPANY (DOWN FORENSIC ENGINEERING, INC., CARY NC) TO INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. DOWN CONCLUDED THAT THE FIRE WAS ELECTRICAL AND ORIGINATED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA CONDUCTED ITS OWN INSPECTION, WHICH DID NOT CONCLUSIVELY DETERMINE THE CAUSE OR ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA DID, HOWEVER, OFFER TO REIMBURSE MY INSURANCE POLICY DEDUCTIBLES AND TO PAY ME $500 FOR GOODWILL, BUT HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE OR REIMBURSE ME FOR ANY OTHER EXPENSES RELATED TO THE FIRE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR TSB ON THE CAR. I HAVE REFUSED TO ACCEPT HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICAS OFFER.
