Description of the problem	I own a 2013 optima sxl. When i am pulling off fast or punching it around 20mph the car dies. Like i lose power, but the rpms are up. Feels like i jammed the brakes but i don't even get a abs feel. I have to take my foot off the gas and then slowly hit the gas. Tire pressure is where it suppose to be. What i have been doing is turning off the traction control so i feel safe hitting the gas. It's really bad in the rain. If i go to accelerate and not fast in the rain it does it. I went back to the dealership today and of course they said this is normal. I did some search online and i found a forum where multiple owners have had the same issue. One owner had the hydraulic abs assist module replaced and ecu reprogrammed under warranty. While most customers like my self have brough the car to our local dealership just for them to cliam the problem is normal. The part is 1600. 00 plus 900. 00 in labor. This should be recalled since it became a real danger specially on the highway. As the dies under acceleration while overtaking. Part number 58920-2t550
