2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid – Low-speed hesitation followed by sudden jerk after braking (repeatable issue, ongoing dealer visit)
I own a 2025 Hyundai Elantra Hybrid and I’m trying to find out if anyone else is experiencing similar behavior.
The issue happens mainly at low speeds (0–10 mph), especially in stop-and-go traffic.“rear-end impact sensation”
What I experience:
- From a complete stop, I lightly press the accelerator
- The car does not respond immediately
- After a short delay, the vehicle suddenly moves forward
- The acceleration feels abrupt rather than smooth
When it happens:
- After braking to a near stop and then accelerating again
- In low-speed traffic situations
- Occasionally during EV driving or hybrid transitions
Additional notes:
- The behavior is repeatable under similar conditions
- I can reproduce it consistently
- The vehicle has already been at the dealership twice
- First visit: 4 days, issue not resolved
- Second visit: currently ongoing (~9 days)
Question:
Has anyone else with this model experienced the same behavior?
