Consumer Description
HAVE THE 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA TURBO AND WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT IT THAT IT WOULD APPEAR TO DRIVE DIFFERENTLY. IT RACES BEFORE IT SHIFTS TO THE NEXT GEAR AND AT TIMES IT SEEMS TO PICK UP SPEED WHEN I AM NOT ON THE GAS. HAVE CALLED AND ASKED TO BE TOLD THAT THE RPM SYSTEM HAS TO GET AS HIGH AS 4 BEFORE IT SHIFTS - THAT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT AND IT MAKES THE STEERING DIFFICULT AT TIMES. THE ACCELERATION IS POOR AND I ONLY HAVE 11,000 MILES ON IT BUT I'M READY TO TRADE IT IN - NOT SURE IF A TURBO IS SUPPOSE TO REALLY DRIVE THIS WAY AND CAN'T SEEM TO GET AN ANSWER FROM THE DEALER WHEN I CALL. THEIR SERVICE HOURS ARE NOT GOOD BECAUSE THEY'RE OPEN WHILE I WORK. DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM? *TR
