| Description of the problem | My 2015 hyundai sonata was purchased brand new, and have had multiple power/acceleration issues; however, the most recent happened on march 19, 2019. While driving on a street (evening time) with the speed limit of 45, my car started to sputter/jerk back and forth, abruptly bringing my car to a speed limit of under 15 mphs. I tried to accelerate, but the gas paddle was unresponsive. This a major hazard and extremely dangerous. This is a known issue, and hyundai corporate office is aware (i called after the first incident), and is not doing anything to rectify the issue. Nhtsa need to make the manufacturer accountable, by reason of the numerous complaints about the same issue. I was close to being rear-ended, and if nothing is rectified, it will cause an owner to be severely injured. |
