When getting on the expressway and accelerating to 60-65mpg, the car seems to get stuck in the 4th and 5th gears refusing to go up unless I let up on the accelerator, which is difficult to do when you’re merging into expressway traffic from the left lanes where I live in Wisconsin. The dealers can’t even put the correct oil into the car, rotate the tires correctly, or do anything I pay them to do, even though I have complained. The Hyundai service dealers have not demonstrated competency in Madison to service these vehicles unfortunately let alone understand what I tell them is wrong with my car. Stay away from the Hyundai altogether is my advice. ---

Sounds like the car is behaving exactly like It should. “ dealers can’t even put the correct oil into the car,”. How did you determine this? “ rotate the tires correctly”. What do you mean by this? ---

@OmarGhoghawala It would be helpful if you said how you know the wrong oil was used and how the tire rotation was done wrong . Also if the transmission does shift into its highest gear at cruising speed than you may not have a problem . Are you comparing the performance to a previous vehicle ?
