| Description of the problem | Sonata 2011 horn and acceleration problems. People can not hear the horn. Also when i test drove they sonata the test car had problems where there was accelerator problems. When i stepped on the gas the car almost quit, paused and they took off. This is dangerous and could cause an accident by not accelerating in time. This has happened on my car at least 7 times, accelerate, pause or hesitation the motor kicks in. When i asked the salesman about it at the dealer he told me the motor on the test car was probably cold. This happens when the car is warmed up. This is very scary when you pull out in traffic. Also the horn is a joke. You can't hear the horn and it needs to be replaced. |
