My car is making a weird sound, and feel like the brakes are dragging something. But I have no lights on the dash board and keep up with the maintenance. I Also received a new transmission for city world hyundai before all of this.

This is the third time im reporting this defective car. While driving my 2015 hyundai accent it began to power down the oil light, the battery light and steering light came on the dashboard. This was reported to roadside assistance and my car was towed. Previously this same issue occurred a week to the date that I bought the car and it was towed to the dealership to be serviced. I was told a new transmission was needed that the torque converter locked up. Anyway a new transmission was put in the vechile and I got the vechile back, less than a week later they vehicle is acting up again! And here I am complaining again.

This is the second time I'm reporting this defect. I bought a brand new car on 11/28/2015 less than a week later while driving the normal speed limit the car began to power down and the engine light and battery light came on. I had to put the car in park then restart the car again this happened several times. The car was towed to the dealer to be serviced. I was told a new transmission was needed, the the torque converter locked up and this is what caused the car to power down and engine light and battery light to come on. Anyway a new transmission was put in the car and I was given the car back. The car was in the dealer service shop for a week. Now less than a week later the car is doing it again, powering down while driving, then engine light and battery light comes on. This is a safety risk!!! I have a child I fear for our life. I reported this to consumer affairs, bbb, the potamkin hyundai dealership where I bought the car, hyundai customer service,nhsta and anyone who would listen!. All I get is the run around, well, this is going to bethe second time the car is going to be serviced for this safety risk.

My car was driven under 70,000 miles when my transmission started going out. I was in the car with my one year old niece at the time leaving to go home. My car started violently thrusting forward with all of us in the car and was jerking violently. I thought we were going to get in an accident with the child in the car in march 2006. As we pulled on the freeway the car did the same thing for the first 10 miles and we were sure we were going to die. But I pulled off the road and let it cool down. When we arrived at my parents we serviced the vehicle which I think had to be towed and I was given a refurbished transmission in march 2006. During the fall of 2007 the same problem occurred and the gears were acting up as they were before and the car was violently thrusting forward and jerking. I almost got into an accident while going to work with my students. I reported it to hyundai motor of america and took it in for repairs in september 2007. They installed a refurbished transmission and took care of another powertrain issue and installed a new alternator. However in the fall of 2008 the battery and alternator went out and I had to pay out of pocket to get it fixed although the alternator was still under warranty. After I took my hyundai to the dealer to get an oil change in the fall of 2010 I noticed that it was acting strange. Needless to say my transmission was acting up again and I almost got into an accident with 3 other cars due to it's violent thrusting and stalling in november 2010, december 2010, january 2011 and february 2011. In april 2011 it was diagnosed that yet again I had transmission failure. I contacted hyundai since my transmission fails every 10,000 to 70,000 miles and the transmission goes out every 1-4years with my car so it is consistent.

April of 2008 our used 2002 hyundai accents transmission failed. The car was out of warranty. We went to a local dealer to get a replacement and a "refurbished" one was put in. The replacement has now failed 4 months after the 1 -year warranty deadline. How is it possible that this company can make such bad transmissions ? No recalls to my knowledge have been awarded. As a safety issue the transmission would stall and drop into 80 km safe mode this is a canadian bought vehicle.

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 hyundai accent. Almost two months after the transmission was replaced on the vehicle, the engine failed to start. All of the indicators on the instrument panel were illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and had the battery replaced; however, the failure persisted. She called the manager at the dealer where the transmission was replaced and was advised to make sure that the vehicle was fully in the park position. She placed the gear from park into drive and then back into the park gear. The engine was finally able to start. She believes this is a safety issue because she should not have to move her gears around numerous times to start the vehicle. The contact has an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. The current and failure mileages were 84,000.

I purchased the car back in 2003 from a dealership up in new york city. Hyundai of manhattan,I was experiencing problem. With the car. Then first in was with the wiring harness.that affect the transmission, and then with the car blowing oxygen sensors, and then with the manifold systems the problems ware taken care of then I have moved to raleigh,north carolina. From nyc back in 9/2006, then I started having problems with the wiring harness,again. And the transmission failed and needed to be replaced back in 11/2007. That problem was taken care of I have been going to hyundai of southern state imports of raleigh. For the past couple of years since I have been here and they are very familiar with my car the car was under warranty back then. Until I reached 71,226 miles the cars warranty 60,000 miles to 100,000 bumper to bumper. To make a long story short they waited until my warranty expired to tell me that my care would need a.1,wiring assy engine total price of 930.53, 2,cover assyrocker 299,72. The point I am trying to get at is they knew along that those components needed to be replaced a long time ago but they waited until my warranty was up to pass the buck on to the consumer. Instead of being responsible and of integrity hyundai motors of america needs to be investigated, concerning there warranty concerning there customers I am outraged concerning this matter .how would you feel if it was you the economy is stalled and this couldn't have happened at a more awkward time then now. I am afraid of this car and would like to get rid of it but I owe 8,000 more on the car and I am making my payment inspite of the economy. I feel raped and abused. By this please help me before it is to late.

Changing gears when the gear shift let go . I had no more gears couldn't drive. Turns out the shifter rod goes into the transmission and is held in place with a shear pin. Shear pin broke I had to replace transmission pins are not supposed to break according to a hyundai mechanic. But lately they have had a few vehicles with the same problem I think this should be a recall. It cost me 900 because of a pin that's not supposed to break. Thank you for listening . I hope you can do something about it. Thank you.
