Consumer Description

I'VE HAD MY 2016 HYUNDAI ACCENT 5-DOOR SINCE FEBRUARY 2016. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE NOTICED TWO ISSUES. THE FIRST IS THAT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN PRESSING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING IS HITTING THE GROUND BENEATH MY FOOT ON THE UNDERSIDE. DEALERSHIP FOUND NOTHING BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE IT. THE SECOND IS WHEN AT A STOP SIGN, ETC., AND YOU START TRYING TO INCREASE THE SPEED, THE ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME GAINING SPEED AS QUICKLY AS IT SHOULD. I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACELERATOR TO THE FLOOR BOARD TO GET MOVING. I KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE ISN'T ONE WITH A HUGE ENGINE BUT STILL IT SHOULDN'T STRUGGLE TO GAIN SPEED EVERY SINGLE TIME! I'M NOT VERY HAPPY ABOUT THIS AND WILL BE TAKING IT BACK TO CHECK BOTH THE BRAKES AND ENGINE.
