My 2012 Hyundai Elantra began having acceleration problems for the past 6 to 9 months. As I step on the gas at approximately 30 to 40 mph the automobile kicks, bucks and does not accelerate as intended. My Hyundai dealer replaced the fuel pump/assembly ($700) and it seemed to get worse. Failure to accelerate as expected is a danger if you are trying to enter a busy highway or trying to get out of the way of another speeding vehicle. This seems to occur at speeds up to 65 mph when stepping on the gas. This happens on a regular basis but not every day.
I have had multiple instances where my car has trouble starting, or will not start at all. Beginning in 2012, when the car had to be towed to the local dealer (tustin Hyundai - patterson's) as it wouldn't start. The dealer had the car for roughly three weeks straight, and could not find a problem, so they decided to replace the fuel pump system. Then again in February 2013, my car still had issues starting properly, and the dealer and corporate headquarters were contacted. Additionally, on October 4th, my car would not start once again, and finally, after three times, it started. It is currently at glendale Hyundai for the same issue. I purchased this car brand new in 2012, and have had nothing but trouble. From the issues with starting, to my windows not rolling up. The start issue is a major problem and safety malfunction. As a young woman, I do not feel safe driving my car alone at night or long distances as I cannot count on it being reliable. Hyundai needs to issue a recall, as a simple google search brings up multiple others who have had similar issues, only to be told there is not a resolution.
