NHTSA Complaint #11065928 — 2015 HYUNDAI SONATA

WHILE MERGING ONTO A FREEWAY THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING AND SIMPLY REVVED AS IF IN NEUTRAL. I RELEASED GAS AND ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN WITH TO RESULT. I DROVE ONTO SHOULDER TO AVOID A REAR END COLLISION, SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF, AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE AGAIN WITH A POSITIVE RESULT. SHORTLY THEREAFTER WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES THERE WAS YET ANOTHER FAILURE TO ACCELERATE AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED, A FULL RPM REV WITH NO ACCELERATION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FINALLY CAME ON. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WITH THE ERROR CODE THAT A CODE READER REVEALED AND WAS REQUESTED MY VIN. THEY THEN CLAIMED THAT THERE IS A RECALL AND WAS TOLD TO COME SEE A SPECIFIC SERVICE AGENT. NHYSA WEBSITE REVEALS NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. THE ISSUE IS THE VARIABLE CHARGE MOTION ACTUATOR. I AM FEARING THAT HYUNDAI IS REMEDYING THE ISSUE IN CASE BY CASE BASIS AND CALLING IT A RECALL TO AVOID PENALTY.
