I bought a 2001 hyundai in 2001 and since I had it. It has 1 new brake I new transmission molding has fallen off of it couldn't really tell what else has gone wrong with it. It has been in the shop numerous of times and the transmission problem still persist. I have to pay for rental cars take off work and other time wasting things. I am really discouraged about owning such a piece of junk. What do I do?

The vehicle doesn't go over 20 MPH and sometimes it won't shift above first gear due to power transmission problem. The dealer replaced the transmission, but the problem still exists. *yh
Dealer fixed wheel bearings at no charge in 1 day. Dealer replacing transmission by end of the week - no loaner or rental car available; I have to rent a car. Service rep. Complained about car being our of warranty; I reminded her car was bought may 11. Do I have a lemon? Are my kids safe in it? I'm very displeased with dealer about this.
Transmission shifts down intermittently while driving at any speed, dealer has replaced a sensor 5 times. Please add further details.
Brakes--this vehicle was in the dealer's shop 5 times for brake repairs, starting at 4,100 miles. Calipers and master cylinder replaced, but still experiencing braking problems. Dealer claims there is nothing more wrong w/brakes. One time when taking it in for service, front brakes measured at 5/32. Six days later still experiencing problems, took it to dealer and front brakes measured 1/32!!!!! Dealer also "adjusted" the rear brakes, which was never fully explained to me. Transmission: experienced problems w/engine light coming on.....dealer replaced pulse generator. Five days later, engine light on again--vehicle very low on transmission fluid, makes loud clunking noise when shifting gears (esp to drive or reverse). Does not shift up from either 2 to 3 gear, or 3 to 4 gear. Reported problem to dealer, who can't get the car in for 2 days to look at it. Will have vehicle towed to dealer.
Transmission was completely gone. Vehicle was jumping from drive to neutral, and revving 200 rpms by itself. Contacted dealer, and dealer stated there was nothing they could do.
When upshifting and downshifting, the gears grind even if clutch is fully depressed. Vehicle has been taken in and new components were installed under a "campaign" but the problem still exists and I will see the service mgr again to discuss what further can be done.
Vehicle would jerk intermittently while coasting. Vehicle been in dealer shop, and informed consumerthat they cannot duplicate problem. Please feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
