“I was driving 20 MPH straight down a flat residental street. A loud dash alarm sounded in my 2014 Hyundai sonada hybrid. The dash displayed hybrid system warning, safely stop and do not drive . Below the warning a yellow caution triangle displayed. I attempted to give the vehicle gas, so I could pull to the side of the road, but the engine acted like it had no power. A blinking green ready light was displayed. The eco guide display was moving up and down from the top to bottom. I took my foot off the gas pedal and began braking. The brakes felt mushy and the vehicle was not stopping. …”
