Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 28 of 28, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a hyundai accent gl model 2000. The vehicle has run so far 44000 miles. I travel every day on freeway 405 for my work from northridge to culver city. This car has chronic power problems. Even when I press the gas, car does not pick up as expected. In other words, the car cannot be driven smoothly. I have reported this matter many time to hyundai dealers and they do not seems to be serious in attending to this problem. They have informed me that this is the operational characteristic of this vehicle. As I am required to constantly apply pressure on the gas, I have developed pain in my legs and shoulders. It is stressful to concentrate on the free traffic with this problem in the vehicle. I request you to help me fixing this problem from the manufacturers. Thanks.
While traveling at approximately 60-65mph, the vehicle jerked violently and down shifted intermittently without warning. Scc
My transmission has failed 7 times and replaced 4. It is still presently slipping. The factory rep. Was of no help however, the service department at college park have been extremely polite and understanding. Sam carlin, jim thomas, and jeff peleruzzi. Dispite all that has been done my car does not and has not run right. Might I say also that I got my oil change and because it was done improperly my engine blow in the middle of route 50. Hyundai needs to pay for my lose and suffering.
Vehicle locked up while driving at highway speed of 55 MPH, dealer notified and informed that the problem was the transmission.*ak. Consumer stated vehicle has locked up 3 times previously.
While traveling approximately 8 MPH in a parking lotvehicle lost power and would not accelerate. Vehicle had to be pushed into a parking space only to find the brake system was not functioning. Dealership has examined vehicle and determined that transaxle assembly had failed and caused this problem. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
Transmission was replaced when I first bought the car its still the same, clutch will not allow shifter into second gear replaced 3 times
In snow, icy or wet road conditions this unpredictable loss of RPM's and power train response makes car handling and control very difficult. We are aware of other complaints logged on auto forums in the USA and that is why we are reporting this to draw attention to a potentially much bigger problem. We have had this vehicle in for warranty repair 8 times over 10 months. They say they have never heard of this problem, yet there are other internet reports of the same problem. They say they cannot fix it, which means, difficult to control cars are on the road. We hope this helps the us consumers identify this problem in an import vehicle in your country.
Vehicle fails to shift appropriately, when shifting in different gears there's a violent slam, then vehicle shakes. Please provide any further information.
Consumer was traveling about 65mph on highway and noticed that vehicle was swinging left to right. She heard a noise, then left and right axles broke. Vehicle was towed.
Whenever vehicle has shifted into gear it would stall out. Have taken to dealership to have mechanic check it out. *ak consumer states vehicle has to be warmed in the summer and winter or it will stall, dealer informed consumer that nothing could be done.
Initially, the shift would "get stuck" between first and second gear. They kept taking the car back, saying they were going to "look at it" or "we found a little part and fixed it"..this went on until they stated they put in a new transmission. When this did not help, they said they could no longer do anything because the problem could not "duplicated" for them. The problem continued for months. I came close to having an accident when I couldn't get into reverse one time, to get out of the way of traffic. I continued to stay in touch...they told me that they couldn't do anything, because they never could find the problem. They finally called me a couple of months ago and admitted that hyundai had sent them some info about a problem with shifting in first and second gear, and that they could fix it. We took the car back. They "fixed" it so well that when I got it home, it would "pop" from fifth gear to neutral while I was driving...they took it back, "fixed it again"...said it was a "worn nut" or something. Now the car makes a "chain type sound" and bumps while in first and second gear...this has happened about ten times over the past five days. They said they can't do anything because they can't "duplicate" the problem....please help...I might be dead before the problem is ever "duplicated" to these people....they won't keep the car long enough to fix it. I think they feel it's "our problem."
Intermittently vehicle will not shift into gear. Dealer has repaired the vehicle several times.
