What owners say
While traveling at 30-35 MPH transmission went out, and vehicle started to lock up and skid across the street.
While the vehicle is in drive, the vehicle drags and when it finally gets into gear it thrust forward extremely fast, the dealer replaced the transmission, the problem reoccured 2 years later and the transmission was replaced again, now less than one year later the consumer is experiencing transmission problems again. Nlm
While drivng and without warning vehicle made a loud noise and something snapped.vehicle would not move, as if it was in neutral. Dealer has replaced the transmission.
Since november of 1997 I have had on going problems with this vehicle. There has been one default after another. In november of 1997 the engine caught fire. The transmission was replaced in july of 1999, since repacement of transmission the waterpump, and timing were replaced, and the radiator was repaired. Now this new problem has arose with the engine. One other thing not mentioned before is the car stops or shuts off with no gage indication at all.
Since having the car, I've experienced problems with the transmission to include trans jumping out of gear occassionally, failure for gear shift to go into gear, complete failure of the transmission. Other problems include electrical problems, I.e., alternator, battery, etc. But most prevelant was the transmission. I recently had to completely replace the transmission, torck converter, kick-down switch at a cost of approx. $3,100. When I contacted the dealer and hyundai, I was completely blown-off by both. I feel these are excessive repairs for a 3 year old car that has been serviced and maintenanced regularly. I also experience foul oders coming from the air conditioner as well as breaking problems.
