| Repair attempts 5; first attempt at date of incident. driving on level three lane divided highway when the vehicle suddenly stops accelerating and exhibits a no power condition where only electrical is working. i apply acceleration up past 5000 rpm and no response. past 6000 rpm and vehicle suddenly kicks in and out of complete shock i'm forced to pull over in nearby plaza to contact nearest dealer (in southern california @ this time, original dealer in las vegas centennial hyundai). allen hyundai service technician agrees to keep it overnight to duplicate issue. he puts in writing next day three no power conditions. after blaming it on the turbo and adjusting electrical sensors, i continued experiencing same problem, different places. original dealer for some reason fails to duplicate and leaves me hopeless. no offer to trade car or take it back. now stuck in purgatory between corporate and a malfunctioning vehicle. 2012 new off the lot se with 2.0 t. | |||

| When accelerating from idle, such as sitting at a stop sign, stop light, or waiting to pull out onto the highway, the engine will just start to move the car and then delay, allowing you to push the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor with no response for 2-4 seconds. this happens at all times of day and weather. the only common factor is that it happens after the car has been at idle for a moment, such as coasting through a parking lot or sitting at a traffic light. it happens about every 2-4 days. very dangerous as i have almost been hit twice now pulling out onto a highway only for the engine to stall. the engine never turns off, it just doesn't respond to the accelerator pedal. i see on the internet that this is happening to other people. | |||
