| Description of the problem | When driving my car will jerk like it is shifting rough. At first i thought it was the brakes grabbing but when i googled it i read that it could be ecm and tcm software problem. It jerks sometimes so badly that it feels like i have bumped into something. Called dealer but was told there is no recall for this problem. Was also informed that it is probably an update needed to the ecm and tcm software and it could cost $200. If that is the case it should be something that hyundai covers. |
