Takata recall on 9/23/2018, about an hour after a rainstorm (car was garaged during storm) my car was in motion at 40 MPH in the left lane on a curve of a southbound interstate exit i275. The car suddenly went sideways, and began fishtailing. I tried to pump the breaks but they were not working. The vehicle then smashed the front side of bumper into the guard rail, and pushed me across two traffic lanes. The vehicle stopped in the right lane, facing north in a southbound exit. I tried to put it in reverse to get into the shoulder, and there was no acceleration. The engine had shut off on me while driving on the interstate. I do not know what failed the engine, or why it shut off. Hyundai corporate was contacted and they opened a case, and performed a full inspection. On 11/12/18 hyundai claimed "we cannot agree that the accident involved a product defect and are declining any financial assistance." a third party mechanic was then contacted, and found code c1555 and a failing vvti cylinoid. There is no recall. There is no way to prove this car is unsafe with the routes I have taken so far. I will not accept this answer. The engine of this car shut off and could have been fatal. It is also terrifying to think about who would to be blamed for such a fatal or dangerous accident since hyundai "couldn't find any defect." I asked for results of the scan and the case manager, christina replied that I am not authorized to see them, for "results are for proprietary use only." this company needs to own up to their risky product!

While driving on the interstate the traction control light flickered and speed started to decrease to around 40 MPH. I was unable to accelerate and had to pull over and shut the car off. After I restarted the car I began to drive again and the light flickered more while driving. The weather was sunny and warm. No wet roads. This has happened 3 times now. Each time has been on the interstate.

While driving straight on interstate at 65mph when the traction control light came on for over 30 seconds and drastically slowed the vehicle to under 20mph. Weather conditions were completely dry and road surface was smooth. Hazard lights were put on to warn other drivers from possible collision and I pulled over. This has happened on two occasions in a 3 week period. Car was taken to dealership where they said no codes came up and they could not replicate described problem. A recall was issued in 2011-2012 for similar issue on same make and model.

The ESC (traction control) randomly comes on while cruising at highway speeds on straight, level, dry roads (often on interstates). Sometimes the ABS lights also light up. Brakes are applied and power to the engine is suspended making the can nearly impossible to control properly. My car has been in the shop now under warranty for over 60 consecutive days and the dealership and hyundai cannot determine the reason for this malfunction. After repeated requests to have the car repaired under warranty, this car has been in an accident and I have asked hyundai to determine the relevance of this repeated malfunction in the accident where the car would not stop quickly enough to avoid another motorist. This car was purchased used with 20,185 miles on it and currently has around 22k miles and is under a bumper to bumper warranty.

After less than 2 years, the car battery dies and disables the control of this particular car and year. Many customers, according to reviews, seem to have the same problem. Should the battery falter when driving on a highway, serious accidents could result. My vehicle was moving at a slow pace in the parking lot when the battery died. I lost control of the car. I was not expecting the battery to die as it is only about 18 months old. I do not have a picture. The car is at the dealership.
