I was headed down to Montgomery, Alabama a couple of weeks ago on a Saturday from Ohio. It was right at 100 degrees F that day. On I-65 about 45 miles north of Montgomery and 550 miles into the trip, the tach goes to zero, the lights come on the dash and the car dies, coasting to a stop. I tried to start a few times. No dash codes shown. The car would run very rough a few seconds then die. I probably tried to restart a dozen times without success. My wife and I called Hyundai road side assistance. Two and a half hours later the tow truck came and towed the car to the local Montgomery Hyundai dealer. They were just closing by that time, but gave me a loaner car. We ended up staying the weekend so that the car could be looked at Monday morning.
The dealer took the car in Monday morning and kept all day. I called a few times as they worked on the car. Trouble starting in the morning, very rough running. Midway through the diagnostic, the car miraculously began running smoothly again. The dealer then said no ECU error codes, and no problem found. As a result, I was told to come pick up the car. I ended driving the car home thinking it would quit the whole way, and it fortunately ran fine. They gave me the service report with a long list of items checked, but they found nothing. I know problems don't fix themselves. At this point I will just drive it until another problem. I know they rebooted the ECU and even swapped a couple of parts out of new cars to see if the original issue could be sorted. Still they found nothing.
Anyone else had this type of issue?
Boo's to Roadside Assistance who were friendly but somewhat full of guano with what they said and promised on the phone. Two and a half hours on the interstate in 100 degree heat. Geez. Kudos to Montgomery Capital Hyundai who gave me the loaner car and (at least) tried their best to find the problem.
