| Description of the problem | I'm having a random problem with my vehicle which relates to the acceleration. The car sometimes fails to responds to the accelerator when pressed. I have noticed this when the car is in eco drive mode and the revs seem ok and the engine fails to respond to the accelerator but all of sudden the car jerks forward with driver having little control until it evens out again. There does not seem to be any pattern to it and as a result it near impossible to duplicate. I have talked to hyundai usa and also with my local dealer as of yet i have no fix. Will bring it into dealer once more and take it from there. I firmly believe this a safety issue and as a father of two young children this is of great concern and worry |
