The driver was wearing a seatbelt and sustained minor injuries. A police report was filed at the scene and the insurance agency deemed the vehicle totaled.
1) driving on a hilly, twisty road. While approaching a downhill turn in the road, the check engine light came on, the tach dropped to "0" and the car shut off. Since the engine was no longer running, I lost my power steering and power brakes suddenly. I lost control of the car and went off the road, crashing into a guardrail. 2) damaged parts: front bumper, headlight assembly, corner light assembly, rf fender, hood, upper radiator core support. Possibly inner fender also? Air bags did not go off, and I was not injured. I was able to restart the car, and the check engine light went out after about 10-15 seconds. I have been able to operate the car normally ever since. I contacted hyundai and am waiting for resolution and repairs. 3) nothing has been done yet.
