| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Vehicle does not respond to acceleration. Engine makes a roaring sound, however the rpms have minimal increase. This hesitation happens when passing, and when coming out of a turn or from a stop. This leaves the vehicle stuck out in traffic with no acceleration. This used to happen about once a week, however the frequency of the incidents has increased greatly and we no longer feel the vehicle is safe to drive. This morning the car would not accelerate for an entire hour during a commute to work. I have read many reports on your site with the same issue, and apparently hyundai does not have a fix. We are bringing the car into the dealer this afternoon. |
