| Description of the problem | My 2005 hyundai xg350 has a very dangerous hesitation problem. This problem is generally encountered form a cold start out of a parking lot or garage. The gas pedal is slowly depressed to accelerate. Sometimes, it responds normally. At other times it just coasts no matter how hard you push on gas pedal. Suddenly it will lurch forward with enormous torque (depending on how the driver responds to the coasting problem). There are two problems with this hesitation: 1) pulling into traffic and than not accelerating can cause accidents 2) more importantly, the unexpected quick acceleration can cause loss of control, hitting something or somebody, or worse. Resolution to this problem is not considered by huyndai at this point. Denial of other cars having similar problems are common at factory level, but are admitted at dealership level. Incident date is first time. *nm |
