Description of the problem | 2/20/2020 - i was driving my new 2020 elantra (less than 5,000 miles on it) and i noticed the car was not accelerating smoothly. The rpm needle was revving abnormally whenever i tried to accelerate. When i pressed the gas from a dead stop the car would shutter before accelerating. On my way home from work the same day i was having the same issues but as i merged (turning) onto a highway the car suddenly stopped accelerating all together and i was not able to go more than 10-20 mph. Since it was at a merge there was almost a collision, but i was able to pull over before anything happened. 2/21/2020- the next day while i was at work my husband tried to drive my car to the dealer. He experienced the same issues and when he got to the dealership he was unable to turn the car into the service station because the car would not accelerate. Service workers had to push the car into the bay to be looked at. The employee told us this was about the 15th 2020 elantra they have seen with the same transmission issue. No emergency lights came on in the car during either incidents. Since no lights came on during the incident, i was very hesitant to drive the car again. |
