| Description of the problem | While merging onto a freeway the vehicle stopped accelerating and simply revved as if in neutral. I released gas and attempted to accelerate again with to result. I drove onto shoulder to avoid a rear end collision, shut the vehicle off, and attempted to drive again with a positive result. Shortly thereafter while driving on the freeway attempting to change lanes there was yet another failure to accelerate and the same issue occurred, a full rpm rev with no acceleration. The check engine light finally came on. I contacted the dealer with the error code that a code reader revealed and was requested my vin. They then claimed that there is a recall and was told to come see a specific service agent. Nhysa website reveals no recalls for my vehicle. The issue is the variable charge motion actuator. I am fearing that hyundai is remedying the issue in case by case basis and calling it a recall to avoid penalty. |
