“A trip turned into twice being stranded on the side of the road with this car. Never been out of the bay area with it. It starts skipping a few beats, loses acceleration.

Just lugs along and then recovers. So I pulled off the freeway. Into a shopping mall. Turned it off. Started it again? Nothing but white smoke out the back end. I called a tow truck. Had it towed into the local Hyundai dealership. Where after an hour? …”
