Description of the problem | Brought brand new august 2015. Many times the car lurches into gear. Several dct transmission hesitates noticeable when accelerating from dead stop. Car has 16,000 miles (but started around 1000 miles), . Dct clutches periodically when at a dead stop will not engage, but once rpm's drop it will start to move, but prior it's like the car is in neutral. You have to wait until the rpm's come down and push accelerator again and then it will engage. Of course the dealer can not duplicate, so they say there is nothing wrong.. Many times i was almost hit when turning due to the car not moving.. Very dangerous and someone is going to get hurt or die!!! Will hyundai do something then, because its seems that after 167 complaints they still don't care to do a thing about it!! Shame on you! Since about 12,000 miles the car has been making a hissing type noise when accelerating, brought to dealer, they said its normal & that its the fuel pump finally being broke into the engine and that is very normal.. They also lied on my work order that they compared that noise to a like vehicle with the same amount of miles and it did the same thing, however they told me on the phone that they would find me the same car with the same miles to show me its normal. Well that didn't happen, so they lied on the work order to cover their butts and to work against me when i contact lemon law attorneys. Who the heck are they kidding?!! Brought to another mechanic & he said that is not the problem at all, but can't seem to figure out what it is.. So im spending money to have them try & diagnosis it even tho i have a warranty. Tires (i think) causing the car to shimmy shake all the time at high speeds. They have been rotated & balanced 5 times & the passenger seat shakes like crazy, but again that is all normal they say. Shame on hyundai for doing nothing about all these complaints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
