ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.
Corrective Action:
WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH POWER. MY CAR HAS STOP ON THE HWY AND HAS CLANKING NOISE WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO 4000RPM. IT'S SLOW TO SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES STAYS AT 50MPH NO MATTER HOW LONG MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AND EVEN HAD A TUNE UP AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. IN REVERSE IT'S FINE BUT GOING FORWARD THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T HAVE $5000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!
