40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2018

Car sputters at idle, acting like it's going to cut off. Does not accelerate properly, but only intermittently. One day, the check engine light came on and I could not accelerate and it would sputter at lights. Drove it straight to advance to get the engine light checked; nothing came up. Started the car again and it drove fine, like nothing had happened. Took it to the dealership the next day. They couldn't duplicate the issue. Finally, after letting it idle awhile, were able to get a code on the coils. Replaced them all. Car was running fine after that. The sputtering at idle has now started again. . . . . Less than 2 months later.

44 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/12/2018

Since I've purchased this car I've had problems with the car when moving when stopped. When I first start to drive, stops at a stop sign or red light, the car hesitates, shudders and vibrates when pushing the gas. There is a delay when stopped and then taking off, to the point that I have been honked at while the car just idles before it shudders and moves on. I've been asking about the problem since I purchased the car and have been told it is normal for the sport model or they been unable to replicate the problem at the dealership. The safely issue is that I'm worried I'm going to be rear ended while waiting for the transmission to kick in. No warning lights. Please research this problem and suggest a fix to Hyundai. The delay is also felt when the automatic transmission is shifting in lower gear, no problem once the car is on the highway or straight a way driving with no stopping. Thank you for your consideration.
