| Description of the problem | We purchased 2010 hyundai santa fe almost from the start we notice an occasion she would bang into gear while driving in 30 - 40 mph traffic and stops. After numerous trips to dealer their answer was they couldn't duplicate. The last 2 trips to the dealer i explained if you drive in stop & go traffic moving about 30-40 mph you will feel the bang like you have been rear ended. I was told the cannot test for that period of time they reflash the computer. Then listed it as unable to duplicate and set up n appointment with a factory rep. For december 15,2010 @10:30am. My wife will not currently take her parents for treatments at the medical center because the bang startles here parents and she fears a breakdown. Unacceptable for a car less than one year old. |
