Description of the problem | When coming off a dead stop it fails to go. Rpm's rev but the car does not move. It does not move after being stopped at a light or when waiting to make a left turn. Has happened numerous times. I have almost been rear ended and t-boned. I took it in for service (june 2016) the first time it happened and was told there was nothing wrong with it. That was a month ago and it is happening again. This time it was worse. I contacted service at my dealership and was told that a fix came out that morning. That is a lie since i have been researching this issue on line. Consumer reports said the first fix was issued in dec 2015 (when i purchased my car) and this recent fix was issued a week ago. I now have to wait 5 days driving an unsafe car before they will work on it. I contacted corporate and am waiting for a phone call to discuss this. Also sputtering when accelerating has been going on since the first month i had the car. I don't think they realize how dangerous this is. Does someone need to get hurt or killed before hyundai issues a recall and/or a buy back?? I only have 4300 miles on the car. I feel unsafe driving it. |
