| Description of the problem | While in slow speeds, the transmission struggles to select the proper gear. Causing the vehicle to accelerate faster tan normal, specially while turning after reducing speed. You have to control the acceleration using your driving experience, however this is not safe at all. Tested using, eco, normal and sport driving modes, the only time i couldnt reproduce the issue was while on sport mode (i want to drive on eco while in the city) hopefully hyundai will tackle this issue. |
