| Description of the problem | Have the 2013 hyundai sonata turbo and was told when i bought it that it would appear to drive differently. It races before it shifts to the next gear and at times it seems to pick up speed when i am not on the gas. Have called and asked to be told that the rpm system has to get as high as 4 before it shifts - that doesn't seem right and it makes the steering difficult at times. The acceleration is poor and i only have 11,000 miles on it but i'm ready to trade it in - not sure if a turbo is suppose to really drive this way and can't seem to get an answer from the dealer when i call. Their service hours are not good because they're open while i work. Does anyone else have this problem? |
