After driving for a few minutes on highway, my 2012 Sonata Hybrid will start to jump and buck. It slowly loses power and when it reaches lower speeds (under 40 mph) as I try to accelerate it will rev like it's trying to catch the next gear but won't. I will continue to lose power until I can't get it above 10 mph and I have to park it. After it sits for a day or two I can start it up and drive normal for awhile and then it starts doing the same thing. I have had 2 mechanics look at it and they can't find anything wrong. Nothing wrong with transmission. Dealership ran for codes and found B1324 and B2518 but those don't pertain to engine issues.
On acceleration the car does a herky jerky motion and won't accelerate which can be a problem when trying to enter traffic. I will take it to the Dealer Key in Jacksonville. However they have been the worst service department in listening to my complaint. The Hybrid gas refund was a total joke.
