| 2012 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | MY 2012 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO HAS THE FOLLOWING PERSISTENT ISSUE. WHEN THE VEHICLE SITS OVER NIGHT, IN COOL WEATHER CONDITIONS OF ABOUT 60 DEGREES AND/OR LOWER, UPON FIRST START IN THE MORNING IT WILL NOT REV PAST 4000 RPM (WHILE DRIVING) AND AS A RESULT IT DOESN'T HAVE THE POWER TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY IN A MANNER THAT I WOULD CONSIDER SAFELY. I KNOW OF A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT HYUNDAI HAS RELEASED THAT'S SUPPOSE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE HOWEVER, I ALSO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF ABOUT 10 VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, SOME THE ISSUE PERSISTED EVEN AFTER THE DEALER CLAIMED TO HAVE REPAIRED IT. WHAT I CONSIDER THE MAIN SAFETY ISSUE TO BE IS; THERE IS NO INDICATION/ALERT WITHIN THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD ILLUSTRATING THE ISSUE AFFECTING THE ACCELERATION/PERFORMANCE. MY VEHICLE HAS NORMAL POWER CITY STREETS OR AT ABOUT 30 MPH OR LESS. I DISCOVERED THE ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY, DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION POWER (WHICH MY VEHICLE SHOULD/DID HAVE), I WAS NEARLY REAR-ENDED BY A 18 WHEELER AS I WAS TRYING TO GET UP TO HIGHWAY SPEED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER TURNED ON. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND HAS ABOUT 13,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS HAZARDOUS MATTER. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR |
