Engine complaints
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 20 mph on dry asphalt roads, the brake warning light illuminated constantly, followed closely by tightness in the steering. Shortly thereafter, the engine stalled and shut off. The vehicle was not seen by a dealer following the incident.
My 2003 hyundia accent already had two failures of the emiision control system. The second failure only showed a check engine light for a few seconds then showed all systems normal agian. Each failure was found by different dealership but the same problem. The first time this happened the computer kept the check engine light on until the dealership repaired it but the second time the check engine light was on only for a few seconds, almost like the car was prgrammed to ignore the problem. *Nm
