Description of the problem | I have had my hyundai tucson for about 5 months, about two months after owning the car the car made a loud clunk and lurched forward,like i got hit from behind or like i hit an animal. I pulled over to see if i did but nothing was there. This happened about three times before i took it to the dealer. They checked it and said everything checked out fine. They reset the transmission, they told me the transmission learns your patterns and something might have gotten confused. Its been about 2 months now since they "fixed" the problem but this morning it happened again and it slammed so hard it made my son and i lurch forward and the seatbelts locked. It is very scary when it happens. I have an appt. This week to get it serviced again, we will see what they say this time. I am very concerned about the safety of the car when this happens. |
