My car will completely shut off when traveling at a slow speed. I could be cruising to a red light and the car will completely shut off. Traffic on the interstate and I need to slow down...you can bet my car will shut off. Going up a hill...my car will completely shut off. I was almost in an accident two days ago; as I slowed down to travel up a small hill to the parking garage, my car shuts off and the car behind me had to slam on breaks. Each time I have to put the car in park and restart the car. This is not a fuel saving issue as Hyundai doesn't not offer that technology/option. This is a serious safety concern as the car stalls when traffic is expected to be moving. I have now taken my car in twice for this issue.

I first experienced the problem 08/14/18 driving home from work on I295N, the check engine light came on and the car didn't want to accelerate. On 08/16/18 the same problem occurred but this time it lasted until I made it late that evening. I took it to Hyundai of orange park 08/17/18 here in jacksonville and the problem could not be duplicated. As I was driving to work 08/22/18 my car started doing the same thing only this time you could feel the vibration of the car not wanting to accelerate and the check engine would go off as I'm changing gears and soon as I am done shifting it stays illuminated.I called the service center again and she says to bring it back in for testing and they can only fix it if they can duplicate the problem. I am very uncomfortable with driving this vehicle in traffic not knowing if it will cutoff and I am hit.

The car hesitates, jerks and pulls at the acceleration moment when stoped. Foor instance im ligths or traffic jams. It causes a completely lost of power and terrible shaking. This happens after 20mins drive and the goes for the rest of the day, it is more evident driving in city.

When attempting to accelerate after turning corner, vehicle almost stops, then surges ahead. This occurs intermittently and also when pulling away from stop light.
