Why have I been given excuses for surging in my 2016 Hyundai Accent; that I drive on bumpy roads, that I have to manually select gears in my automatic to combat the surging problem.
You have clearly been given the run-around by whoever told you that. Talk to your dealer, and ask for a mechanic to go for a ride with you to observe what it is that is bothering you. That way they might be able to understand your complaint and fix it for you. If you feel very strongly about it, ask for a Hyundai technician to go with you.
