    - WINSTON-SALEM, NC

    I WAS COMING OFF OF AN ON RAMP TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND DUE TO TRAFFIC I HAD TO LET OFF THE GAS. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED BY ITSELF, CAUSING ME TO NEARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ANOTHER INCIDENT TOOK PLACE AT A SCHOOL CROSSWALK AREA. I LIGHTLY PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BY ITSELF CAUSING MY HEAD TO WHIP BACK AND ME TO PRESS HARDER ON THE BRAKE. NEARLY HITTING KIDS AS THEY CROSSED IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. *JS

    THIS BEGAN AS A INTERMITTENT HESITANT CLUNK, BOTH DURING ACCELERATION/DECELERATION IN TRANSITIONING BETWEEN ELECTRIC MOTOR / GAS ENGINE. IT HAS PROGRESSED INTO AN UNEXPECTED PHYSICAL JUMP WHILE GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT WAS LURCHING FORWARD AT A CROSSWALK WITHOUT CONSCIOUSLY STEPPING FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. EMAILS HAVE BEEN SENT TO HYUNDAI WITHOUT A RESPONSE ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THE CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE, WHERE COMPONENTS UNRELATED TO THE SYMPTOMS WERE REPLACED AND A MANAGER SAYING "THAT'S WHAT THEY DO, AND HYUNDAI CONSIDERS IT NORMAL". NORMAL !?!? THE PROBLEM IS WIDELY KNOWN, BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN PUBLISHED IN THE MEDIA, AND NO DEALERSHIP WILL OFFER ANYTHING BUT A LOWBALL OFFER ON A TRADE IN, JUST TO TURN IT AROUND AND DUMP IT TO AUCTION FOR PARTS. *TR
