Tl* the contact owns a 2009 hyundia accent. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the transmission slipped out of fourth gear into neutral without intent. The contact was able to continue driving. The failure occurred when driving in the fourth or fifth gear; however to prevent the malfunction the gear selector lever must be manually held while driving. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on twice and they were unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not provide any assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 49,000.

Http://home.comcast.net/~altair1972m/screw_hyundai.mht. 2003 hyundai accent. Original posting was 3395 characters. Must cut to 2000. Did not get the advertised mileage to the gallon. The accelerator stuck if you floored it, and not long after I bought it, transmission started slipping out. I reported problems. They were able to fix transmission slip simple diagnostic. Computer problem. Accelerator sticking could not be reproduced and they had to give me back the car in death trap condition. My bro in law's 16 yo bro checked it out. Found mat was catching the accel. 2 freehold hyundai techs could not find the problem, but a 16 year old could. Fyi, the federal safety agency complaints list has both complaints from someone else. Over time noticed that at way mark, car is showing less and less mileage @ same amount of gas. Was 190 miles when I bought the car. Today around 160. Flash forward a few years. Had some trouble where the speedometer would drop down to 0 and then not move. I would smack the dashboard, hard, and it would catch and begin to move, but calibrated to new speed I was going when I hit it and it took. At stop I'd hear click, click as it recalibrated itself to correct speed when it tried to go past 0. Took it in near it's 57k mark for the pre 60k inspection. Fh did a diagnostic and found nothing. A few days later was driving the car and the tach was doing the same thing. Took pics. Called fh and asked if this speed at RPM was ever possible in this car. It was not. Demanded replacement of gauges. However, when the failed after 7 days to find the problem, they wiped diagnostic charge. They pulled out the gauge cluster, wiggled the wires, and did something with the sensor. Filed a complaint with hyundai motor corp. Called them later in the week to tell them fuel gauge not working. Took more pics.

Dt*: the contact stated two years ago the vehicle would not come out of second gear. An independent mechanic repaired the vehicle. The contact does not know what repairs were performed. About one month ago, the transmission started slipping into second gear. The only way to get the vehicle out of second gear is to turn the vehicle off, wait a few minutes, and restart the vehicle. The same independent mechanic determined the vehicle had a defect and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. There is an the federal safety agency recall, # 99v178000, regarding the automatic transmission. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however it is not included in the recall due to the VIN.

In march of 2004 the transmission in my car, a 99 hyundai accent, started slipping. I took it into the dealership, sycamore chevrolet in terre haute, indiana, which I bought the car to be serviced since it was still under warrenty. They charged me $350 for parts and labor, after I told them that if the problem wasnt warrenty not to do anything since I had no money at the time. They told me they changed the 2nd gear belt, a clutch sensor, and the transmission filter and fluid because the seal holding it together was bad. 2 weeks later I take it back. They tell me they cant find the problem and even accuse me of making it up. After I left there with my car I took it to a shop in paris. He took it for a drive came back and changed the transmission filter himself and showed me that the filter on my car was so clogged that nothing was getting through. It ran fine until about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have had it in 2 more shops. A sensor in my transmission is going out and they have yet to pinpoint which one it is. Come to find out after looking through this site and a couple others, my transmission was recalled after I bought it for the same problems im having in it now. Its slipping out of gear during acceleration and downshifting hard and sticking when coming to a stop. I never received notice about this recall and no one has mentioned it when ive brought it in. I have been stranded for hours when my transmission is stuck in 1st. I have had 5 very close calls when im driving down the road and it slips out of gear, 2 of them being while semis are behind me. I do not feel safe driving my car so I am now being left without a vehicle and 2 years left to pay on it. Hyundia USA in california has been notified about my complaint with their service and about my car and all I was offered was a $75 credit to my account with any hyundai rep. They deny that there was a problem with the transmission even after I have found proof on here of the recall.

I bought my car in september of 1999 from a car dealership. Over a year ago my transmission starting slipping I brought it back to the dealership under warrenty they said it was a sensor and replaced it. Just 2 days ago my check engine light came on and I now longer had 4th gear and 3rd would slip in and out. I learned there was a recall and that the dealership was supposed to replace this sensor before I bought the car and again when I brought it in last year. This is a big hassle not to mention my check airbag light is also on and my alternater went on the fritz a few months ago. This car is too new for these problems and I dont think I will ever buy another hyundai again.

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.
