| This is not an isolated incident it is an ongoing problem with my vehicle. on my 2010 elantra automatic transmission, it is as though the gears are not working. when the car is in drive the issue arises. in order to get the car to 40 mph i have to literally hit the gas and get the rpms to 5,000 or almost 6,000 before the car will shift. the car then shifts but when it is settling into 1000-2000 rpm's the power jerks as if it has lost power momentarily, this happens anytime you are trying to accelerate. going up a small hill this car will go about 10-15 mph for more than 30 seconds. this is unacceptable and could be a safety issue if the transmissions go out completely while these cars are being driven. loosing the ability to shift should be a concern here. *tr | |||

| When the cruise control was set between 40 and 50mph instead of being set at that speed/mph the car kept accelerating to 70mph, only when i applied the brakes did it slow down. this happened 5 times in the past week, and i tested it out and it happens maybe 5% of the time but not in any random increment. *tr | |||
