Consumer Description

VEHICLE HAS BAD HESITATION SINCE 20,000 MILES STALLS, LOSS OF POWER AT TIMES STEP ON THE GAS PEDAL AND CAR DOESN'T MOVE, AFRAID TO DRIVE A NEW CAR THAT I PAY FOR IS CRAZY BUT AFRAID TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT SO I DO NOT DRIVE IT. HYUNDAI KEEPS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND THAT THE COMPUTER UPDATES WILL FIX THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BUT I HAVE HAD 3 UPDATES AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EXCEPT TAKE MY MONEY.
