Engine tends to stall or hesitate when moving after a stop (e. G. , at a traffic signal).
Instant pickup problem – feels like it's going to stop.
Sometimes has starting issues.
Normal driving (once moving) is okay.

I had a similar issue and my low oil pressure light was on. It would stall as I stopped everytime. Clogged oil filter was the issue.

Starting and running heat

Hyundai Elantra 2015  125000 miles
I went to heat up the car this morning before leaving and I turned it on and then turned the heat on and hit the rear defrost button and the car started jerking and idling very very rough almost about to die. I pushed the gas pedal a lil bit and kept the rpms up to about 2000 and turned the heat off. It never died but we literally haven't had this car a month and financed it. And when this happen I smelled something that almost smelled like paint thinner but maybe it was gas but it was a very strong smell. Any thoughts on what to check first or has anyone else had this issue?

Engine hesitates when accelerating

Hyundai Elantra 2018 Sedan, automatic, 2.0L 85000 miles
My 2018 Hyundai Elantra has started hesitating when I accelerate, especially when pulling away from a stop or going uphill. The engine sometimes feels like it loses power for a few seconds before responding normally again. There are no unusual noises, and the car starts normally. Has anyone experienced this issue before, and what was the cause?

Car has harsh shifting

Hyundai Elantra 2010 Touring 165000 miles
Fluid levels are right where they are supposed to be but when going from gear to go it hesitates and then slams into next gear. Also when I put it into reverse it takes a second then goes in. I have the touring g model elantra not sure if it makes a difference or not.
