“I was driving my 2007 Hyundai Elantra with 73,000 (about I need to get the final death mileage) miles on it. I heard a slight rattle when I pushed in the gas pedal. I noticed it happened when I started. I was about a mile from home and figured it was a loose screw and drove carefully. All gauges and lights were normal, no smoke ect. I started up a hill. The rattle got louder quickly (10-15 seconds). The temp gauge spiked suddenly and my RPM's dropped down to 1 and below. I pulled into a left hand turn lane at a light. The car died. …”
NHTSA complaint #10421419, filed 2011-08, 73,000 miles“On july 13, 2009 I left my 2007 Elantra on to run in somewhere, when I came back to my car it had died. I thought that I had just turned the key off before I got out of my car without thinking and didn't worry about it. I continued driving for a couple of hours with no problems. When I was leaving work I turned my car on and it died so I turned it off for a few seconds and back on pulled out of the parking lot into the street and it died again. I turned it off and on again and it was fine. The next day I had no problems until I was on my lunch break. …”
