| Description of the problem | I bought my 2015 hyundai sonata brand new. Today (mar 22), i made a right turn to a ramp into my company site. Speed was about 10 to 15 mph. All the sudden, i heard a laud engine revving sound. I have to let go my gas pedal, waited couple seconds and then slowly stepped on the gas pedal to move the car. It almost like the gear box was not engaging all the sudden and the car speed stalled. This would have been really dangerous when driving on a highway. The government should investigate the similar cases and make the manufacturer for a repair/recall. |
