 Purchased car on 5/5/2012 with 6 miles on it. within less than a week and 200 miles the transmission began clicking. took it into hyundai and they stated it needed a new transmission. after 2 1/2 weeks the transmission was replaced as hyundai refused to give me a different car. since then the car cannot accelerate, sounds clunky and when going at low speeds sounds like the gear isn't engaging and sounds/feels like it would if you released a clutch too early. car loses power and sounds like it's about to die. a hissing and rattling sound under the hood happens as well. after taking it in to dealer, dealer states they could not find the sounds or noises or loss of power i was having. rpms rev really high before engaging in first gear. dealer still won't do anything since they can't diagnose it. i have almost been in multiple accidents for failure of power and car not accelerating. takes about 3-5 seconds before it goes. brakes grab too easily as well. loss of gas mileage (around 6-7 mpg) was reported to dealer but dealer told me it was due to winter gas. i can understand 2-3 mpg difference but 6-7 is too much. car has also been in the shop for a week for the car alarm going off constantly for no reason. a piece of the windshield plastic also fell off for no reason when car was 3 weeks old. dealer duct taped that part down until a new part could be ordered.

 Bought the car brand new in jan of 2012, started having issues with the duel clutch within a few months of driving. after getting use to the new car and how it drove, putting a few thousand miles on the car, something was still not right with how it drove. not getting the speed it needed and tacking out the rpms to change into the right gear and at times, was the wrong gear. we had taken it to the dealership in which we got the car, told them of the issue and they said there was nothing wrong and that it was normal with the duel clutch and that we had to drive it more in manual mode, which made no sense to me. after a few months, the car got progressively worse....could not even merge out into traffic that was going 30-35 mph. had to always drive the car in manual mode as opposed to automatic, adhering to the dealership. well, one thing lead to another and now the car is barely driving and becoming a massive safety issue, as we have to use this car to go to and from work and that only. we had brought it to the attention of the dealership, once again in dec and now... they are having issues with the duel clutch and that this car was...a guinea pig and being made a complete mockery of this particular dealership. we have escalated the issue to corporate office and i will never purchase another vehicle from this maker ever again... nothing but a horrid experience. *tr

 The car does not accelerate properly. when at a full stop and i press on the gas the car does not move however, the rpms are high but the car takes 5-6 seconds to go and it doesn't go very fast and there have been times i was almost hit. my car jerks when i try to accelerate from a slow speed, it is the same movement as if you were running out of gas and actually jerks my neck. my rear driver's window shattered for no reason. it was in the drive way and when i went out to work in the morning, it was shattered. there is no impact sight as evidence that something had hit it. i am very unhappy with the car and wish i never bought it. *tr

 The speedometer does not tell you the speed you are actually going it is off 4 miles an hour at 20 then 5 miles at 40 and 6 miles at 60 and 7 miles at75 mph and so on up to 15 off at 140 mph you have to drive faster than you are suppose to to go the actuall speed limit this is very difficylt to keep track of as i am a disabled veteran who bought this car to get back and fourght 300 miles to medical apptments.i am having problems getting hyundai to fix this they replaced the speedometer unit with a new one and now the odometer is off by 3641 miles. they are telling me taht the speedometer is within exceptable limits if it is 5%off but it is more like 9 to 12 % off and they are not listening to me and are unwilling to help resolve the issue. how do i get this fixed as i know this is a saftey hazard and they refuse to help me or to exchange the new car?
