What owners wrote
I have taken my car to 2 hyundai dealerships to be looked at. When I drive my car gets stuck in a high gear & gives me a hard time driving unless I accelerate dramatically to drop the rpms & the car will drop gears. I live on a very steep hill & came close to a very dangerous accident due to this issue. My car did not want to make it up my hill because the car makes a loud noise.
I was driving on the street when I reached a stop light. I came to a complete, full, and safe stop. The car was stationary. And before this day that this all happened, the car was in perfect driving condition. Nothing was wrong from what I could tell. I then turned the car off and turned it back on, in the front of traffic forming behind me. It kept shutting off every time I would stop or slow down. It happened about 7 times before I went back to the dealership I bought it from.
