| Description of the problem | Have had same problem with the car from day one. When i hit a bump it lost power, like it was not getting gas. Had it into 3 separate hyundai dealerships for same problem 6-7 times. Suv got progressively worse with time, started losing power when traveling uphill. Was almost in two bad accidents before it stopped running all together, smoking. Towed to dealership and diagnosed with a bad engine from assembly line. Can not even get it repaired for months due to back order on engines... Contacted hyundai consumer affairs and asked them to take the defective car back. It is a 3 year lease with 1 year left... They refuse to take the suv back... Expect me to keep a defective suv that i have no faith in driving even with a new engine. I don't feel safe in this vehicle. But hyundai is refusing to take their defective suv back.... Just not right. All of this is documented. Suv lost power on two occasions, once while driving 45-50 mph on a flat surface then again traveling 65 mph in the mountains traveling uphill. It also had several times i would hit a bump and it would lose power driving on a flat surface. |
