On a june 3, 2017, we were exiting the highway. During the turn in traffic, the car slowly lost all power. All of the lights lit up and the speedometer, gas gauge and RPM indicators were moving back and forth. We were able to glide to the light in traffic and make it to a parking lot safely. I am so glad we did not have an accident!! My husband shifted the gear to park and the car restarted with no problems. We will be taking it to a hyundai dealer because this could have been potentially life threatening.
