| Description of the problem | I was driving from kellogg, mn to winona, mn and i stopped at lark toys. While joining mn highway 61, turning right i had to accelerate. I was in sport mode and vehicle accelerated and almost stopped. Luckily no accident occurred, i had my 17 month kid and my wife in the car. Car after that gave check engine light warning and it would not accelerate. I changed to eco mode and then it slowly started to accelerate, but at about 20 miles an hour it jerked again, but i pressed accelerate hard and it sustained speed. But it wont go over 65 miles an hour. I slowly made it home. But i tried to drive again and same issue. Called hyundai customer support and they refused to rochester as it is 46 miles and they only support 20 miles or less tow. My car is still under manufacture warranty and yet worst service. I almost got killed today with my 17 month toddler |
