Description of the problem | When on any hill (reversing or forward), in heavy bumper to bumper traffic, and in some intermittent situations, the vehicle experiences a loss of power. The scariest part of this is that the car jolts quickly once it finally "finds a gear" and decides to go. When my car dies because it can't deal with slower bumper to bumper traffic, there's a problem! When i'm trying to backup on a hill and there's an object behind me and i nearly hit it because i can't get the car to go, it's a problem. It's a manufacturers problem that you and they keep ignoring! Just like the fires that they ignored for years. The dealerships report to hundreds of customers that this is normal. It is not normal. From what i have found in my research, it's caused by a couple of things. The fuel filter is constantly dirty from whatever fuel tank coating hyundai used on the inside of the fuel tank that is flaking off. The second reason is a problem with the dct. It should be engaging the 1st gear and it's not. It should be something as simple as an update with the computer systems but hyundai doesn't care about keeping their customers safe. It's ridiculous that hundreds and thousands of people complain about these issues and nothing is done. Not an investigation until they get enough and someone pays a lawyer to do it. Because this happens all the time, i am putting the estimated date of purchase like other customers have done on here. |
