My Hyundai ix35 isn't running well...

After buying a 151 Hyundai ix35 doesn't run at all well driving slowly alot of jerking what is causing this

Our answer:

Hi James,

Assuming this is the 1.7 diesel model, that car has a known issue with its engine control unit (ECU) that can cause hesitation when accelerating. The fix may require a trip to Hyundai to reprogram the ECU.

Of course, you may just have dodgy fuel in the tank causing that problem as well.

If you've just bought the car from a dealer, then I'd suggest bringing it back to have it sorted under warranty.
