Description of the problem | Weeks following service at hyundai dealer to have nhtsa campaign number 16v-628 requiring reprogramming of transmission control module, we have had 2 (two) near miss collisions due to car hesitating during turn from a stop and straight from stop sign. One; during legal left turn across 2 oncoming lanes, car started to roll than lose power while broadside to traffic. Oncoming traffic forced to stop until several complete cycles of the accelerator did get the vehicle moving again. Engine did not stop. Second at intersection from complete stop. Standard acceleration applied, vehicle started to roll (from release of brake) then stalled. Accelerator was repeatedly cycled several times before vehicle started to move. Car behind forced to stop suddenly missing rear bumper. Vehicle also had instance of a power train loss for about 1 second then sudden and powerful jolt during acceleration (estimate speed range about 40 mph) onto a highway from an on ramp. Despite service to address recall notice, vehicle shudders more during rolling starts and stops. Difficult in slow moving areas including car ferries typical to regional commute. Have taken to dealer (documented) following incident 1 and on ramp jolt. They observe the continuing shudder. They have taken vehicle for test rides but do not see the stall that is sporadic. Note, incident 2 as described above occurred approximately 1 week following service to observe this defect. Hyundai service aware of shudder and unable to resolve and conclude "they are in the hands of the engineers." they hand out a document explaining the dual clutch system in an attempt to normalize these occurrences. |
