Your engine suddenly stopped working while you were driving downhill, which immediately disabled your power steering and power brakes. Without these critical systems, you couldn't slow down or steer the vehicle properly and had to run through a school bus's flashing lights to avoid a collision. The dealership confirmed the engine had failed completely.

La guagua a tenido problemas con el tren delantero. Comenzó con un sonido en el Guía. La Hyundai le reparo esa pieza y luego continuó con el mismo ruido. Ahora tienen que cambiarle el Rack and Piñogn. Mi guagua tiene solo 19,750 millas creo que vino mala de fábrica.
