Harmonic balancer shedded causing the camshaft to break stalling out while trying to enter a highway ramp.the car just stopped while partially on the highway and ramp to enter causing a close call from behind.a car was speeding up to enter the highway and had to lock up his breaks almost smashing into me at a very high speed the a truck nearly struck me on the highway and had to pull over to the shoulder to prevent crashing into me at 70 MPH. I had no warning. No service engine light ever warned me of the problems with the car ,fore I would have serviced it immediately .I am not a mechanic but the computer maybe was not sending the correct codes to the warning indicators. This was a very serious problem I almost had a high speed crash with several vehicles causing serious injury or death. I did not take any pictures I was to shaken up and nobody stopped to exchange information. I then finally got the car to start and limped it of the highway and then home as I lived very close by. I immediately called the nearest hyundai dealer and had my car towed there at my own expense . Then a few day's later the service dept. Called me and explained what had happened. They could not understand why no warning of any kind informed me of the danger. They did say it would cost me $1,200.00 to fix the problem not to mention the cost of the tow $85.00 .my car is at "red mccombs hyundai n.w. 1366 ih-10 west san antonio,tx. 78249 " (844)218-7288 where it will set until the matter is dealt with. I have no money to pay for the fix . I am on disability and a senior citizen at 58 yr.'s of age and need my car to see my doctors

I was in fairly heavy traffic traveling 65-70 MPH and another car swerved in front after passing me (on the right) and when I went to apply brakes they went to the floor and the car started to accelerate. I again applied brakes and not only did they not work they also didn't disengage the cruise control. I started to panic and applied the clutch and tried to downshift. I had seconds to respond and a gap in traffic behind me so I needed to get over to right shoulder as quick as possible (I was in the left lane) I put the car in neutral and started to apply the hand-brake slowly at first. As I entered the right lane and neared the shoulder (out of traffic) I applied the hand brake as hard as I could and simultaneously turned off the ignition when the car had slowed enough. I should also mention that upon coming to a stop the check engine light was solid and stayed on even after shutting down and restarting the car. It remained on until I got the car to the nearest dealer. I'm ok and it could have been much worse (no damage to me or car) but the dealer who serviced the car told me they confirmed that the computer was sending erroneous codes to multiple 'systems' at once. I have their report and the documentation on the software update they applied to the car's computer. They didn't replace the computer just the software! This could have been much worse in another situation. It was scary as hell and I'm still somewhat shaken. I'd rather be proactive about bringing attention to this than ignoring the incident and the fact remains that I have no idea if the new software patch that the dealer applied to the computer is able to protect my safety.
