I WAS EXITING THE FREEWAY GOING 70 MPH IN RUSH HOUR AND WHEN I WENT TO SLOW DOWN THE CAR JUST STALLED AND LOCKED UP THE STEERING AND EVERYTHING, WHICH CAUSED TO HIT MY ARM PRETTY HARD AND I HAD TO AVOID BEING HIT I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OFF RAMP AND PUT IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE AWAY IT HAS BEEN DOING MORE FREQUENTLY. I WAS HIT ALMOST 5 TIMES. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI BECAUSE I FEEL THIS WAS PART OF THE RECALL THEY SAID IT IS CLOSED I NEVER RCVD A LETTER AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE MY SON IN THE CAR. I BASICALLY ENDED UP HITTING THE SHOULDER AND ROAD SIDE CONES PRETTY HARD

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
