| Description of the problem | All of a sudden my car is having an a problem with accelerating. I was driving 40-45mph and the car decilarrated down to 30mph then to 20mph i stepped on the gas pedal all the way down and the car slowed to almost a stop, and then with my foot still fully down on the gas pedal the rpm shot to the number 4 and the car took off from underneath me if i hadn't gotten control i would have gotten into an accident thank god no one was in front of me. Mind you i had just left hyndai mechanics for the 2nd time this week with the reported problem and they still say they can't find nothing wrong. It happened randomly, but in the past week in a half more often then i'd like to count. It's a very dangerous situation especially when you have a child in the car and it's fusterating when hyundai tells you if it continues to happen bring it back, for what for them to tell me the same thing they told me twice before , the first i was turning at a light the second on a highway the 3rd down a rural one way road and another while making a u turn |
