However this does not happen frequently. Why is this happening and What is the solution?

Hello,

This happens when the throttle actuator looses correlation with the throttle pedal sensor which puts the car into limp mode here is a guide to help you fix the problem

What is engine light? If u are talking about the engine, then look like OK as per my report from yesterdays servicing. Even after yesterdays servicing the engine turn off when the vehicle is moving slowly or in idle at junctions/signals.

Here is the report from the Hyundai service center/parts which they have changed/serviced.

1) Fuel System Cleaner (200ml)
2) Co Washer Drain Plug (ALL)
3) Co Plug Oil Drain (ALL)
4) AZ Filter Assy-Eng(1.0.1.1)
5) Co Shell Helix Plus HX-7 4L
6) Multipoint Inspecton - Good Condition
7) Check engine die off when driving - No Detected Trouble Code

I will take to the service center again to check the idle air control and throttle position.

Can there be any other cause for this?

Hi Rasmataz,

Its been already 3 days I have given my Car to the authorized service center, but they are unable to find out the root cause of this problem. So I finally did what you said and cleaned the throttle actuator using the guide above and bam! All fixed ;) I cant believe you fixed it and the dealer could not. I love this site.
