Hyundai Sonata Power Train Safety Report | Nov 04, 2010
Reported on Nov 04, 2010
| PURCHASED BRAND NEW ON JUNE 18, 2010 FOR MY WIFE... HYUNDAI SONATA GS. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WE BEGAN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR JERKING/BUCKING/SLIPPING IN ALL GEARS AT ALL SPEEDS (RANDOM OCCURRENCE) EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT A STEADY SPEED WHILE USING CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP HERE IN DOUGLASVILLE, GA SIX TIMES FOR REPAIR WHICH HAS INCLUDED REPLACEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION, REPROGRAMMING OF THE PCM, AND REPLACEMENT OF THE TCM. NONE OF THESE ATTEMPTS AT REPAIR HAVE FIXED THE ISSUE. MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAS COME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO BEING INVOLVED IN CRASHES AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM AS THE CAR HESITATES/STALLS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THESE INCIDENTS OCCUR. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AS SHE HAS ATTEMPTED TO MERGE ONTO THE EXPRESSWAY'S HERE IN METRO ATLANTA (#2 IN THE NATION FOR TRAFFIC). PLEASE NHTSA... THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE POWERTRAIN IN THESE VEHICLES AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS AND GET IT FIXED! *TR | |
