BEEN A YEAR FIGHTING HYUNDAI AND WENT TO ARBITRATION YESTERDAY. STILL SAYING ISOLATED INCIDENT AND CAR IS FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED ALRHOUGH THEY PAID FOR A 2ND TRANSMISSION AT 12K MILES. STILL MISSING SHIFTS, REVING UP TO REDLINE WHILE NOT PICKING UP SPEEF AND CUTTING OUT WHILE PULLING FROM STOPS INTO TRAFFIC. SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN TO SAY THE LEAST. IF THE DCT FAILED AND IS PART OF THE LARGEST RECALL IN HYUNDAI HISTORY, DON'T YOU THINGTHEY SHOULD BE TAKING A LOOK AT OUR DCT TRANSMISSIONS? I FEEL SWEPT UNDER THE RUG AND MY CONCERNS FOR OUR FAMILIES SAFETY ATE BEING OVERLOOKED. I FOUND QUITE A FEE OWNERS ON THE VELOSTER NATION AND OHIO VELOSTER FORUMS WITH EXACT COMPLAINTS. HYUNDAI REFUSED MY SUBMISSIONS FROM THESE FORUMS AS WELL AS NHTSA COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE. SHAMEFUL ON THEIR PART.
THE RPM'S REV TO 6500, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. WHEN TRYING TO ENTER THE EXPRESS WAY CAR DOES NOT SHIFT RIGHT, RPM REVS TO 6500, AND DOES NOT SHIFT TO THE NEXT GEAR. I FEAR FOR MY LIFE WHEN ENTERING ANY HIGHWAY. THE CAR CAN'T EVEN PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING 40MPH. DEALER SAYS NOTHING IS WRONG!!! ALSO WHEN TURNING A CORNER VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE WHEN I DRIVE IT. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ELECTRONIC SHIFTING MODULE I THINK. I HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT WILL LET OTHERS KNOW THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES. THE DEALER TOLD ME ON MY LAST VISIT THE EVERYONE COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE.
