Description of the problem | When pulling out onto a road from a stop sign, my car will barely accelerate, and the rpms will race for a few seconds before the car suddenly lurches into gear and finally moves. This has caused several near accidents (thankfully, no accidents yet). This doesn't happen every time, but enough to be very dangerous, especially with new drivers in my house. I talked to the hyundai service center, and they acted like they had never heard of such thing -- even though there are complaints all over the internet. They said to bring it in and they could try to duplicate it, but in the absence of a "check engine" light, they doubted they would find anything wrong. Also, when creeping along in traffic, the car shudders like it wants to stall. In either scenario, it's embarrassing to have passengers in the car. I can't wait to get rid of this car. |
