Occasionally when you accelerate it hesitates and does not respond. It has been taken to a mechanic and a dealer and they cannot find the problem but it does happen. It is dangerous especially when pulling out onto a very busy road where I live this is a side street entering a very busy highway or most anytime. It is random it happens ever since car was purchased can't give exact date

I live in las vegas Nevada, this vehicle overheats and shuts the air conditioner off when it reaches 75% on the temperature gage. Anytime the outside temperature is above 100+ degrees the car will reach 75% while driving in about 30 minutes, if the car is stationary it'll get there in about 10 to 15 minutes. Hyundai manufacturing has said that this is due to a small radiator and a small cooling fan but will currently not repair these issues. Most Hyundai dealerships will claim that this is not a problem or that the car does not have a problem. The photographs depict the temperature rising while driving the car. The only time the temperature went down was when I manually shut the ac off.
