Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
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!

THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT UNLOCKS AND CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ONCE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AFTER BEING UNLOCKED, YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND RE-OPEN AGAIN FROM THE OUTSIDE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE WITH THE LATCH. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI. HAVING ALL DOORS WORK IS CERTAINLY AN SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE ON OR OFF.

ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE MOTOR PART WORKS B/C I CAN HEAR IT...THE WINDOW JUST DOESN'T GO UP OR DOWN. IT'S LIKELY OFF THE TRACKS. I CAN UNDERSTAND ONE BUT ALL FOUR.....SERIOUSLY ALL FOUR WINDOWS DO NOT WORK. ALL THIS HAPPENED COICIDENTALLY JSUT AS I HIT THE 65,000 MILE MARK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HTE DRIVER SIDE THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET UNDER WARRANTY. IF THERE IS A RECALL NEEDED IT'S FOR THE WINDOWS!

MY CAR WOULD BE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS COLLISIONS (FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I'M TURNING LEFT AND NEED TO GO BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHES ME BUT THE CAR HESITATES TO MOVE. THIS HESITATION IS ALSO OFTEN EVIDENT WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY). I ENDED UP EMAILING HYUNDAI USA IN MARCH OF 2017 TO INFORM THEM OF MY ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL BACK, AND WAS HOPEFUL THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS THAT WOULD HELP FIX THE ISSUE, BUT IN THE END, THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?' I AM NOW EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT WILL JERK AND SHUDDER AS I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP.
