Description of the problem | I bought this car in march of 2016 with about 20 miles on it. After around 1000 miles the transmission started getting hot and would stall out. I would have to wait five to six minutes for me to restart the car. I have sent it to the service center to be checked out and they say there is nothing wrong with the transmission. That it is normal for this to happen when you are in traffic. I live in new jersey thats the norm for us here. This has been a constant headache. I even stalled out in the middle of the lincoln tunnel. This has happened to me more then i can count. I spoke to hyundai care center and they have brushed me over to region. Now i am waiting for region to call my case number is 9448240 and i haven't heard from them. This car is unsafe. Also when you want to go to the next lane it is slow to start. An accident waiting to happen. It reves up and don't move. There are so many issues with this car. I've taken pictures of the transmission warning lights and telling me to pull to the side safely. How can i do that in the middle of the lincoln tunnel. I haven't heard from them and now i have about 10000 miles on the car. I am afraid of this car but i have no choice but to drive it cause i need to go to work. I need help here. The date i put in is the last incident. It got hot then stalled i waited the usual 5 to 6 minutes then started it again i just drove a mile and it happened again. I'm getting really frustrated with a car that i am scared of. |
