“I have 4000 miles on this car and already have had it in the shop 5 times! Transmission- is very jerky, doesn't have pick up most the time, doesn't shift right away it takes a moment to kick in while RPM's are jumping. Hesitation from a dead stop, once at a dead stop and you slowly take foot off break the RPM's drop and the car shutters and feels like its going to die! Dealer said its normal for a dual clutch because its like a manual and that I need to drive 2 footed or deal with it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10873657, filed 2016-06, 300 miles“I had to replace the throttle body and rear shock at approximately under 2000 miles. It hesitates badly. It decelerates as I press down on the accelerator. It had low coolant before a long trip so I filled it up as it advised. When the vehicle was hot the coolant was approximately 1/2 inch to 1 inch below the minimum fill line. After my trip I took it to the certified Hyundai dealer service center for tire rotation and oil change and they advised the coolant was low again, but that there are no leaks. I told them I just filled it up and so they are checking again for leaks. …”
NHTSA complaint #10875630, filed 2016-06, 1,000 miles“Car consistently has trouble accelerating from a full stop; lurches forward and sputters. When in reverse, cannot accelerate to move vehicle. When temperature is above 85 degrees outside, car will not turn on.”
NHTSA complaint #11244862, filed 2019-08, 58,000 miles“Multiple issues. Main issue for now- press the accelerator and the vehicle slows down. Major hesitation. Hesitates from a stop and when already driving. Today it shook and felt like it was going to die for the 2nd time since I've had it. It has been in the shop numerous times for multiple issues and has already had the throttle body and rear suspension replaced. It also had the hood latch replaced due to a recall and it was losing coolant apparently through the cap.”
