NHTSA Complaint #10607383 — 2013 HYUNDAI SONATA HYBRID

THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD DURING DECELERATION THUS PULLING PRESSURE OFF OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND CAUSING YOU TO PUT EVEN MORE PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO COMPENSATE. VEHICLE WILL SLIDE ON ICY ROADS AT THIS POINT. VEHICLE ALSO HAS LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION ON ELECTRIC MOTOR AFTER THE VEHICLE IS HOT. MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC IS HAZARDOUS SINCE THE VEHICLE CAN TAKE UP TO 7 SECONDS BEFORE IT ACCELERATES ENOUGH TO COMPLETE THE TURN AND CLEAR THE ONCOMING LANE. BOTH PROBLEMS SEEM RELATED. THE FIRST WOULD APPEAR TO BE FREE WHEELING WITH NO ENGINE TYPE BRAKING APPLIED WHILE SWITCHING FROM ENGINE TO ELECTRIC. THE SECOND WOULD BE FROM NO ELECTRIC MOTOR ENGAGEMENT DURING INITIAL ACCELERATION FROM A STOP OR SLOW TO TURN MANEUVER. *TR
