| Description of the problem | Several incidents of stalling when making turns from stops or yields with slow acceleration. Intermittent incidents, though seem to be more noticeable with a/c running. My hyundai santa fe sport, 2018, awd, does have approximately 12,000 miles on it. When pulling onto the busy highway near where we live, a left turn with prompt acceleration is critical. On about 6 incidents, including 2 in the last week, i have started the turn, then lost acceleration, put the pedal to the floor then it would hesitate for another 1-2 seconds, then jerk up to 7000rpm and the traction control would kick in (light on dash comes on), then takes off quickly. Thus far, no one has been in harms way, however, i fear it will happen. On 7/12/2018 i did take to kc summers hyundai in mattoon, il. They performed a full inspection, took it for test drive, ran diagnostics and found nothing. I was told there was nothing showing on the computer either. No tsb's. They encouraged me to bring it in each time it occurs in the future. No complaints about the service. I did provide them with the other complaints on this site from many others about this problem and asked them to keep it in my file. |
