1999 Hyundai Elantra transmission complaints
Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 41, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Dt: the transmission would jump out of gear or down shift and the check engine light illuminated afterwards while driving after the vehicle was parked overnight. The check engine light remained on. Basically this only occurred in the morning. Sometimes however, it would feel as though it was not shifting properly. Has not been taken to dealer. This started recently. Took vehicle to an auto parts store to check diagnostically, it was noted there was a problem with manufactured control module, input/output speed sensor, and the transmission range speed sensor. No repairs were made or corrections to this vehicle done at this time. Dealer's information was unknown by consume at the time of this complaint.
When driving 35 MPH, the transmission slips gears. The vehicle is still drivable. The dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem. The cause was not determined. Please provide more information.
I bought the car brand new. After about 8 months the car would get stuck in second gear when slow down. The car also kicks very hard while it does this. One time I was rounding a turn after it rained and as I slowed down around the corner the car kicked and the rear end of the car slid out into the plastic divider poles between the lanes. The poles caused a ding in the car an cracked a window. At the time it happened so fast I thought I had hit something and only a week later when the car kicked again did I realize that was probably what happened. I brought the car down to the dealer and was told I would be given a new pulse generator under warranty. Then there was a recall on a part in the transmission and that was fixed. The problem still persisted and I have had the pulse generator changed four more times. My warranty is now up and the problem has come back. I have even installed a brand knew transmission.
Recall 99v178000, while driving vehicle lost power. Dealership would not repair vehicle because the VIN was not included.
Consumer stated while driving automatic transmission didn't shift properly. *ak the transmission would shift hard while accelerating and decelerating.
I purchase my car a 1999 hyundai elantra, sept 0f 1999, since the purchase of this car I've had a problem with the car not accelerating when pressing on the accelerator and the car decelerating while driving, I've contacted hyundai numerous times over the past 4 years and have not been able to get hyundai to fix this problem even though I've told them about the recall the federal safety agency campaign number 99v178000, they refuse to acknowledge that my car should have been part of this recall, even after telling hyundai my car is experiencing all the problems mention in this recall, I informed hynudai that this problem is putting my families life at risk, and this problem is now accurring every time I drive. I done all the things hyundai recommended which was having a diagnostic, which so far I've had 2 done, and gettting a complete tune-up, the problem is still there .after the first diagnotic I was told that the computer reset itself, so that now no problem shows, and they claim they cannot go in and check without the diagnostic showing a problem, I think this is a despective practice since the computer resetting now hides any pre-extisting problems. This situation is causing me a considerable amount of stress and fear for my family safety and I feel I am now stuck with a car that is now undrivable and that hyundai is putting my families life at risk.

We've had the elantra in the shop 7 times and the transmission replaced 3 times. The case number with hyundai is 508316, the case number we had with the bbb is hyu-9980560. The transmission will slip into neutral when passing or accelerating, creating a possible life threatening situation. After the last time it was serviced in december, the car ran fine until just last week. Now it is happening again. Therer is a recall the federal safety agency campaign id number 99v178000--and according to the dealer, this has been serviced. We are not getting the support we feel we need from the dealer, and also feel that this could be a problem with others based on the number of transmissions that have been replaced in out car.
While accelerating onto the highway and reaching a speed of 50 MPH transmission began to lose power and eventually failed to change gears, causing vehicle to completely shut down. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
When applying the gas pedal engine revs up, and gears do not catch right away. Dealer has tried to fix it, but problem still exists.
At 2,235 miles I was experiencing a harsh 2 to 3 upshift and alot of chugging noise. A whole new transmission was installed. The at 5.630 miles I had a leak in the brake master cylinder. Both items are being repaired under warranty but it is very inconvenient and frustrating to have a new car have these "serious" problems.
