“I purchase a 2007 Accent Hyundai and while driving it stalls very dangerous. I purchased this car for my son as his first car. While the car is in motion it just stops running while the car is in motion. Wont start up for 20 min or an hour just to do it again. You can be on the highway or just up the road very dangerous. Car just stops for no reason why wasn't this car recalled.”

When the car loses power, there is no warning. Sometimes, it is hard to put the car into park and restart the car when it loses power. Oddly, however, when it loses power/ stalls/ shuts off, if the radio or other devices are on, they stay on. …”
