| In rainy humid conditions, the air conditioning compressor will shut down causing warm air to blow inside the car cabin. this immediately causes the windows to fog up causing a very dangerous driving condition. this has now happened 5 times since owning the car. if you turn the car off, let it rest for a few minutes, then turn back on the air compressor will work again but only for the short time. we have taken the car to the dealership and they cannot duplicate the problem. again it only happens when it's humid and raining outside. after numerous searches on the internet, it seems that i am not the only person this is happening to. hyundai has a serious problem and they should do a recall to fix this! | |||

| When slowing down for traffic lights, turns or merging into traffic lanes, when the brake is released and the accelerator is pushed, at random times the car hesitates and all power is lost momentarily. the vehicle seems as if it has or is in the process of stalling out. at first, it feels as if all power has been lost and that the vehicle should be steered to the side of the road. however, then the engine suddenly re-engages and the vehicle lunges forward. the engine warning light does not come on, and the engine apparently does not die, since there is no requirement for an ignition re-start. the problem happens sporadically (about once or twice a week--but sometimes once or more in the same day). the vehicle starts well, idles well and otherwise performs in an okay fashion. the dealer cannot find anything wrong. the car did not do this for the first 20,000 or so miles. on at least two occassions, this stalling out has almost created an accident situation. | |||

| When pushing the gas pedal to accelerate from stopped position there is a notable pause. (1-3 seconds??)this then causes you to push accelerator further ,thereby causing a much more sudden acceleration. i am used to it because it has happened intermittently since car was new, but someone could get in trouble. hyundai service says its because the pedal is sending a position of pedal through an electronic signal to fuel metering system. | |||

| Vehicle stopped on incline of a hill, then reversed (gear shift in drive) back down 600 feet the hill and crashed against a concrete wall corner. have 2 witnesses that switched off the engine, inspected wreck, found no fault codes with a launch 431-reader but figured that battery was drained after 2 months. surviving daughter suffers from memory loss but at the time of the accident claims the brakes failed. | |||
