Description of the problem | Dct transmission hesitates off the line on normal acceleration; every time you take off from a dead stop. Very irritating, never sure of a quick smooth acceleration. If you roll to almost a stop then accelerate briskly, clutches will hesitate before engaging several seconds, then grab causing the car to lunge. Several times a month - i bought the car new, now has 10k miles. When sitting still at red light, then accelerate slowly nothing happens -this is like you are in neutral. I have to physically knock the gear shift in low then back to drive, etc., to finally get the clutches to engage.-i have had to get out of the car and wave people around several times. Dealer said normal for dct nothing now can be done but hyundai is trying to come up with a soft-ware fix. They have done one already but no fix and car vibrates-consumer reports talks about this on line. |
