NHTSA complaint #11520987, filed 2023-05“Vehicle was being driven at highway speeds and suddenly lost the ability to accelerate with a Check Hybrid System warning. After pulling to the side of the interstate, car was shut off and restarted and brought back up to 40 / 50 mph when the same issue occurred with a lack of ability to accelerate and a Check Hybrid System warning. The issue appears to be related to some portion of the hybrid drivetrain. Car was then towed but two mechanics (one independent and one Hyundai dealership) could not replicate the issue and the vehicle system did not store any codes or history of the incident. …”
