Description of the problem | When you come to a slow stop, and then go to accelerate again, the car feels like it about to stall- then when you press on the gas, there is a long lag before the car gains any momentum to move again. I was almost in a major car accident at an intersection with my daughter in the car. The dealership keeps telling me it is a dual clutch, but this is way worse than a dual clutch. I was driving on a major interstate last week, int he middle lane in stop and go traffic, and the car almost stalled out on me in the middle lane, and then when i hit the gas, it accelerated and i almost slammed into the car in front of me. I have been driving for 30 years and this is the worst car i have ever driven. It is a death trap and hyundai wont do anything to correct the issue. I dont want to drive my 12 year old daughter in it- but they wont help me. Today, my battery died in the car, so i had to get a tow truck to jump it and tow it to the dealership. It is only 2 1/2 years old!!! These models are unsafe!! |
