Description of the problem | I was at a traffic light on a city street waiting for the light to turn green. When the light turned green i depressed the gas pedal and my car barely moved. The rpm's rev'd up but the car was barely moving. I thought i was in neutral at first but was not. I kept hitting the gas trying to get power to the car to get through the intersection. Cars behind me were beeping. The car finally found a gear and continued on. That was scary. If i were making a left turn someone could have been seriously injured or even worse! I am afraid to drive this car now. This seems to be a growing issue with owners of this vehicle. I believe it has something to due with the dual clutch transmission. I have contacted hyundai corporate and the dealership. I want to help get the word out to escalated the fix for this issue or a resolution. |
