“I actually have two separate problems with my Hyundai. 1)my car lurches when I step on the gas if I've had to slow down or stop. I was crossing railroad tracks behind someone who slowed way down. They finally got over the tracks and sped back up, I also stepped on the gas to go just as the rr crossing arms started to flash & come down, there was a train coming. My car hesitated and lurched which gave me a bit of a fright, since there was a train coming three blocks away. I made it across the tracks with time to spare, but have also had this happen when I was pulling into traffic. …”
