Consumer Description
MY CAR WAS SITTING AT MY APARTMENT. WENT TO GO TO THE STORE AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START. THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER NO MATTER MANY TIMES I WOULD TRY AND START IT. I HAD TO CALL MY DAD WHO TOLD ME TO HOLD GAS PEDAL DOWN AND START THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T HAPPENING AT THAT MOMENT. CAR STARTS TO JERK WHILE DRIVING. STARTED OFF ONLY IN THE MORNINGS, THEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, IT JERKED AGAIN THIS TIME MORE AGGRESSIVE. HAVE TALKED WITH HYUNDAI 3 TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SAID THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNTIL THEY SEE IT HAPPENING THEMSELVES. I AM HAVING TO PRESS THE GAS HARD TO GO AT LEAST 50 MPH. YESTERDAY 10/19/2015. I STOP TO GET GAS. FULL MY TANK UP, GET IN THE CAR AND THE WON'T START AGAIN! PRESS MY FOOT ON THE GAS, CAR WON'T START. HAD TO CALL TRIPLE A AND THEY SAY MY BATTERY IS LOW. BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2013, SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE AND ALL I GET IS THEY HAVE TO SEE IT HAPPENING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO THE SAME HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN SOUTH AUSTIN. I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM CARMAX. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ELSE TO DO.
