“My Vehicle Hyundai Santafe Plugin hybrid 2022 is not showing an accurate gas miles range. It is giving incorrect information especially when traveling long drives.

“First the vehicle randomly lost all power and engine function, so was taken to the Hyundai service center. It was a safety issue as we had to coast to the margin in heavy traffic.

The second time, I was on the freeway and lost acceleration causing me to pull off the road in median. The third time, I was at a stoplight and when the light turned green, I had almost no movement after edging into the intersection. Eventually, at about 5 mph, the car regained speed. …”
