Description of the problem	There is an issue with the sport models that have the dual clutch transmission. The vehicles hesitate when accelerating from a stop and will then launch forward once the gear engages. The rpms will shoot to 3 and then drop to just above 0 multiple times before the vehicle reaching 20 mph. My vehicle is also making a rattling sound when idling and accelerating at slow speeds. Hyundai has done their recall update but it is not completely fixing this issue and just making it slightly less dramatic. I have asked hyundai multiple times to address this and they are refusing to address ot saying it is just a characteristic of the dual clutch transmissions to avoid having to repair the vehicles . I had a tech at hyundai tell me that hyundai will say it's normal but it's not normal. Please please investigate. My vehicle failed to accelerate when i was merging from a stop to another lane with oncoming traffic at 40 mph on a city street, it took a few seconds before the transmission engaged and moved. It also hesitated while i was turning from a driveway and then jerked and kicked forward. This is not safe !
