| 2013 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN OR GOING UP A SLIGHT DRIVEWAY THERE IS A LOSS OF POWER WHEN YOU APPLY THE GAS FOR A FEW SECONDS, AND THEN THE CAR SURGES. WE WERE STOPPED BEHIND A CAR AND WHEN WE WENT TO DRIVE AROUND THEM THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO APPROX 1 MPH WITH THE GAS PEDAL FLAT ON THE FLOOR, THEN THE CAR SURGES. THEN AT OTHER TIMES THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO TELL ME WE ARE DRIVING WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND ONE FOOT ON THE GAS. I DO NOT USE MY LEFT FOOT FOR THE BRAKE. I TRIED TAKING THE CAR OUT OF BLUE MODE BUT STILL HAD THE PROBLEM. *TR |
| 2011 | POWER TRAIN | THIS BEGAN AS A INTERMITTENT HESITANT CLUNK, BOTH DURING ACCELERATION/DECELERATION IN TRANSITIONING BETWEEN ELECTRIC MOTOR / GAS ENGINE. IT HAS PROGRESSED INTO AN UNEXPECTED PHYSICAL JUMP WHILE GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT WAS LURCHING FORWARD AT A CROSSWALK WITHOUT CONSCIOUSLY STEPPING FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT TO HYUNDAI WITHOUT A RESPONSE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, WHERE COMPONENTS UNRELATED TO THE SYMPTOMS WERE REPLACED AND A MANAGER SAYING "THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, AND HYUNDAI CONSIDERS IT NORMAL". NORMAL !?!? THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE MEDIA, AND NO DEALERSHIP WILL OFFER ANYTHING BUT A LOWBALL OFFER ON A TRADE IN, JUST TO TURN IT AROUND AND DUMP IT TO AUCTION FOR PARTS. *TR |
