Consumer Description

BOUGHT A USED 2013 HYUNDAI VELOSTER WITH ALMOST 15,000 MILES FOR OUR SON WHO HAS LESS THAN A YEAR OF DRIVING EXPERIENCE. CAR HESITATES/JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. TOOK TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND DID NOT FIND ANY ERROR CODES. THEY STATED THAT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS CAR WAS MANUAL AND WAS CONVERTED TO BE AUTOMATIC (I BELIEVE THEY CALL THIS DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM), THIS IS A NORMAL ISSUE. JERKING/HESITATION FROM A STOP COULD BE DANGEROUS, THE CAR BEHIND US STARTED ACCELERATING AND HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING US SINCE THE CAR WAS ABNORMALLY SLOW TO ACCELERATE AFTER JERKING. NOW I AM CONCERN SINCE MY SON IS A NEW DRIVER AND MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO WHEN THIS OCCURS. HE COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ACTION FROM THE SAFETY BOARD, OR I WILL FILE LAWSUIT AGAINST THE AGENCY FOR ITS INACTION. BASED ON COMPLAINTS READ ON THIS SITE, THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS (OR COULD BE DEADLY) ISSUE.
