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!

I bought this car mid-April of this year, had it two weeks and get cut off in the middle of the road. My children and I could have been hurt because of this. Since then, the car has cut off a total of eight times and it's only been a month that I have had this car. I have taken the car back for service a total of 3 times and the mechanics are saying that the computer isn't reading any problems. They have had my car all week to try to duplicate the problem. They are saying that they must duplicate the problem to diagnose a remedy. I have been inconvienced and disappointed in all aspects of this situation. What were they doing to diagnose problems before computers were invented? I believe that they (the mechanics) need to go back to that long lost skill to remedy the problem and fix my car. I am totally disgusted in this whole matter.
When slowing down and coming to a stop consumer would think that vehicle was at a complete stop, but vehicle would jump or lurch forward. Also, when vehicle downshifted from 25 mph to 20 mph consumer would feel that vehicle kicked or pulsed. Dealer claimed it was a normal characteristic of vehicle.
