| Description of the problem | When accelerating from a stop, the vehicle takes excessively long time to go from 0-25 mph, so much so , that when merging into traffic it has unpredictable acceleration. At various times i would step on the gas pedal and sometimes it would have a 3-5 second delay before going forward. When it finally accelerates sometimes it has a popping sound and often the car lurches. I have brought it in 3 times for hyundai to find the problem but each and every time they have said they were not able to find anything wrong with the car. |
