Consumer Description

MY DAUGHTERS CAR WHICH WE BOUGHT 2 YEARS AGO, WITH ABOUT 41.000 MILES ON IT . THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 9 MONTHS . IT STARTS AND RUNS . BUT WHEN YOU PUT IT IN GEAR WILL RUN WHILE TAKING OFF. THEN ALL OF SUDDEN CHUGG OR DIES OR NO POWER,STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND DOES IT AGAIN . IT WILL DO THIS EVENING SLOWING DOWN OR AT A LIGHT TO STOP .IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND WILL RUN ROUGH .THEN COMES OUT OF IT AND RUNS OK OR TAKES 10 MINS TO START .THEN WHEN YOU START IT YOU HAVE TO HOLD ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR. NO CODES GOES INTO LIMP MODE .JUST SPENT $1000.OO FOR ENGINE MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP 3 MONTHS AGO .NO CODES .DEALERSHIP CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, AFTER DRIVING IT 3 TIMES . THEN AS SOON AS WE LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP IT RUNS ROUGH AGAIN . OF COURSE THEY CLOSED AFTER WE LEFT .REPLACED COUPLE OTHER ENGINE PARTS FOR SAME PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS . I GUESS THERE IS NO ONE THAT WORKS ON CARS WITHOUT JUST USING A COMPUTER ONLY . YOU WOULD THINK HYUNDAI WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS !!! I CAN WORK ON OLDER CARS NO PROBLEM . THIS IS BECOMING A LEMON LAW CAR IN MY OPINION .!!! YOU WOULD THINK OUR GOVERNMENT WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS . THIS IS AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN ON THE ROAD TO SOMEONE .
