Description of the problem | Related to original recall campaign - 16v628000. I had the updated transmission control software/recall installed in november of 2016. The update worked for a time, but performance has steadily declined once again (this software has been either updated or reset by hyundai multiple times since purchase). I have been stuck at intersections with no acceleration, the ability to accelerate when merging onto freeways is limited (almost impossible to convince the car to shift to a lower gear), and shifting out of 1st gear at low speeds/local traffic is highly sporadic (sometimes it feels like the 'clutch' is half engaged; other times it won't shift out of first, so you accelerate faster than you want and at much higher rpm than would be considered normal driving). Hyundai has just reset the software in my car so that it can 'learn' again, but the update provided with the recall did not fix the problem. I would very much like something to be done as new car owners should not have to update software multiple times per year in order to have their vehicle operate safely. |
