Hyundai Sonata Steering Safety Report | Aug 04, 2013
Reported on Aug 04, 2013
| WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 77 NORTH BOUND IN NORTH CAROLINA I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SAFETY SEAT BELT LIGHT WAS FLICKERING BUT THERE WAS NO ONE OR NOTHING ON THE SEAT TO WARRANT THE LIGHT TURNING ON. SO I REACHED OVER AND SNAPPED THE SEAT BELT IN AND THE LIGHT TURNED OFF. ABOUT 10 MILES AFTERWARDS THE EPS LIGHT STARTS FLICKING AS WELL AS THE BRAKE INDICATOR ON THE DASH, NEXT THING YOU KNOW THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND POWER STEERING GOES STIFF. I MANAGE TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER AVOIDING GETTING STRUCK BY A CAR OR TRUCK AND I AM NOT ABLE TO TURN ON THE CAR BACK ON. I AM ABLE TO TURN ON ALL OTHER ITEMS ( RADIO, TURN SIGNALS, INTERIOR LISGHTS) I AM NOT ABLE TO USE THE BLUE LINK SERVICE SO I HAD TO CALL AAA AND HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP 18 MILES AWAY. I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP LOOKS INTO THE ISSUE, ITS SUNDAY AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CLOSED. *TR | |
