On date of incident, I had accelerated to enter onto the Major Deegan Expressway in Bronx,NY and made my way into the left lane when I felt the vehicle hesitate a second and downshifted in speed with some of the dashboard lights turning on. I was able to safely get to the emergency shoulder where the vehicle stopped and would not start again thought it had power. I was towed off the highway some hours later. The vehicle was towed to Central Avenue Hyundai in Hartsdale,NY for service on September 7, 2021 under my Hyundai warranty plan. A few days later I was advised by Ryan of the service area that the engine was the problem and needed to be replaced. Currently awaiting approval from warranty for that work to take place.

There have been several occasions that have put me at risk because of an acceleration hesitation. I step on the gas pedal and the vehicle takes many moments to start moving. This almost resulted in an accident more than three times, but most importantly when the car seemingly stalled while crossing an intersection. All circumstances were when the vehicle was starting from a stopped or near stopped situation.
