| Car will not accelerate properly in 1st & 2nd gear and tends to want to stall when reaching a certain rpm; car will not go beyond 40 mph; check engine light comes on; unable to determine when the defect is about to occur making the car unreliable and unsafe to drive; defect occurs will vehicle is in mid-operation while driving on road regardless of speed. defect(s) have resulted in several near collision experiences, since cars behind vehicle have almost rear-ended vehicle as they did not expect the car to decelerate with no brake light indication of the vehicle slowing down and is therefore a danger to drive. driver unable to safely merge with traffic on major highways as the vehicle does not accelerate properly and will not go faster than 40 mph, making it impossible to merge seamlessly with traffic thereby placing driver and drivers of other vehicles in danger and safety risk. driver unable to use side-roads as an alternate measure, as car does not accelerate properly and tends to want to stall when pulling off in 1st and 2nd gear resulting in cars behind vehicle almost rear-ending vehicle. three attempts have already been made to repair the defect, yet defect continues to occur. | |||

| One of my automotive forum member experienced a serious sudden acceleration issue with his hyundai genesis 2 door car, 2010 model. the issue was believed to be caused by vdc(vehicle dynamic control software) that hyundai motor in south korea admitted but refused to do any action against this issue. the hyundai car, genesis, can be accelerated suddenly without pressing the acceleration pedal. the engine rpm was risen upto 6,000 rpm without pressing the pedal and the rpm never dropped again. hyundai r&d center found the car had different size of wheel at the front side. the owner then withdrew the complaint against the hyundai motor inc in south korea. but i want nhtsa need to investigate this issue because other drivers in usa can experience the same safety issue. this might cause fatal accidents if the front tire lose air pressure. the hyundai motor seems to hide this issue without doing recalls. *tr | |||

| What i had believed to be somewhat of a nuisance problem has now become a very critical problem. a couple of times after purchasing this hyundai genesis coupe 2.0 while trying to normally accelerate, the car virtually died. acceleration flat spot. somewhat similar to the old carbureted cars. very infrequent, however, the other day losing acceleration almost caused a major accident. very close. *tr | |||
