It either bogs down giving time to pull of the road or stops completely after trying to accelerate after a complete stop.

If this happened at a higher speed or on a highway this could of been a fatal incident.

Engine was making increased noise and loss of gas mileage. Dealer assured vehicle checked out ok. Less than 2,000 miles later at 101,000 engine 'threw a rod' while being driven on neighborhood roads. Hyundai refuses to cover reconditioned engine replacement. Offered less than half of cost.
