Check Engine Light On problems of the 1998 Hyundai Accent

I have been to the dealer for recall and regular maintenance and each time I would state how the vehicle would stall, the check engine light comes on, the car jerks and then it resumes normally as if nothing ever happened. I have noticed numerous people have complained of the same issue and their dealerships all say they have never heard of such a problem and it had never been reported before. Nhtsa needs to get on the case and notify whomever needs to be notified.

Consumer received a recall leter stating if check engine light illuminates if a crack developes in fuel tank. Consumer states light was on prior to receiving letter. Dealer stated they were charging for her for checking the engine light. Consumer feels she should not have to pay for a recall. Nlm.

While driving on expressway vehicle shut off. Oil light and engine check light came on. Contacted dealer, and the dealer could not find anything wrong.

Intermittently while driving engine check light comes on . Vehicle reduces in speed with a very hard jolt. This all happens within 2-3 seconds. Right afterwards, the light goes off, and t vehicle goes back to normal again. Problem has been reported to the dealership. Please provide any further information.

This was a program car. I have had the same problems repeatedly with this car. About 6 months after I bought it, it started using oil. They rebuilt the head. Then about 8 months or so later it started using oil again, this time they "said" they put on a new head. However, I dont believe that because, now 8 months later it is once again using oil. Also, I can be going down the highway at about 60 mph and the engine will "hiccup" and jerk really hard and the check engine light will come on for about 2-3 seconds. I have reported this several times and they find nothing wrong. I have also been reporting to the dealer, that I hear a ticking noise coming from the engine. It sounds like the engine is not getting any oil. But, they just tell me that I am hearing things. I am paying for this lemon with my hard earned money. I have tried to get them to let me trade it back to them and buy a brand new car, but they insist that nothing is wrong with mine. I have also contacted consumer affairs, they told me they couldn't get involved. That it was between me and the dealer. I need help!!! any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!.

Consumer's engine light comes on and stays on for days, takes vehicle to dealership, and they've reprogramed the dash electronic board. This is the third time and dealer will be taking out the fuel tank and system. Vehicle is at dealership at this time.
