Drove at 55mph on gsp in nj on tuesday 10-23-01. Car shut off, stalled in the middle of very busy fast moving highway. My emergency flashers did not even go on. Crying and screaming and waving my arms for people to go around me I prayed I wouldn't get killed, amazingly I did not get hit, lots of brakes screeching (tires) and people driving on shoulder at aprx 55-60 trying to avoid hitting me. Crying and screaming I made it somehow to the narrow shoulder next to the guardrail and prayed. Police did not show up when I called 911, only tow truck driver. Problems with this car too numerous to mention. I cannot even get hyundai corp to call me back. They do not care. They do not care. They do not care. This car was purchased new. Now I wonder if the dealer sold me a used lemon. I cannot understand why I am having so many problems with a car which does not even have 30,000 miles. I am a very cautious driver. Please check my driving history (file) please help me please help me please help me. My eyes are tired from crying. I cannot handle this. Dealer has my car now. Too tired and too sick to go on. Please help me. Thank you for whatever you may/can do!

The transmission sensors have been replaced several times, I have also complained about transmission problems which dealer stated didnt exist until it went out completely. My biggest problem is with my brakes, they fail from time to time while driving, I once hit a parked car because I had no brake pressure when depressing brake pedal and pumping. Has also happened while in traffic almost causing an accident numerous times, yet dealer says there is nothung wrong with my brakes, I have brought this up everytime I bring my car in for all the other repairs. My airbag wiring is faulty and has been replaced 3 times which I feel is a serious safety issue. My engine stalls occasionally in mid traffic for no apparent reason, yet the recalled part that caused this has been replaced. Dealer offers no explanation and says car is fine.
