I own a 1999 Hyundai Accent gl and began experiencing trouble with transmission. I searched on internet and discovered that there was a recall on transmission pertaining to the same trouble I am having with mine. I called the Hyundai motor consumer affairs and they refuse to honor recall. I would appreciate info to help me exercise my rights to what I am entitled to.
Car has been in Hyundai dealership in thousand oaks, CA 4 times this year with exact same problem. It feels like transmission to me. (I have automatic) when on interstate, rpm's will go high and car won't shift. At stop light, car will sit without my foot on brake or gas and not move. Extreme pushing on gas pedal to get car to accelerate is needed. Everytime in dealership they say it was some sort of sensor. This last time 12/4/03 they said they won't replace my transmission yet and will change some computer chip in transmission. They said "your car is safe to drive. " I took my car home with it doing the same problem. On my way to work that night my engine light came on and car doing same problem. Left work in am straight to dealership (within 4 mi) and told the head guy. He said he knew me and my car and didn't want to help. "what do you want me to do?" he said. I said "I'm not driving my car. " he said "do you want to leave it hear?" I said "yes. " I told him my engine light has never come on before and now it is on. He said "you have driven you car with the engine light on before. " I said "never, my light has never come on before. " I left with a loaner car which he was reluctant to give me because I wasn't supposed to get that until 12/9/03 when I was to bring in my car to have the chip replaced (they had to order it). My car clearly unsafe to drive, they won't listen to me. I know of a recall #99v178000. They haven't looked into this. It came July 06/ 1999. I bought my car around 7/13/99. No written or phone call to me regarding this recall. I took my car in for the recall #v03 manifold and there wasn't a problem with this.
We own a 1999 Hyundai Accent. Bought brand new from dealership. Have had numerous problems with car, currently transmission problems. Have taken car to dealership, problem supposedly not under warranty, but charged us numerous times. Got on internet and found numerous recalls on this make of car. We have never received a recall notice regarding any of the problems. Would like to know how to go about obtaining these recalls, should be free from car company, and how to get this car repaired. Auto transmission not shifting properly, been going on for over 8 months, no one seems to know what is wrong with it. There are several recalls associated with this problem. Why were we not informed about the recalls, and why did't the dealership know about the recalls to fix the problem to begin with. Please help!!! we have taken to 4 or 5 mechanics, no one able to help.
Transmission ceases when going on interstates, causing sudden stoppage of vehicle on the intersate causing a severe safety problem to the car a passengers.
Consumer had taken vehicle to dealer twice for repairing light on the dashboard, but then had problem with transmission, just like recall 99v178000.
Consumer's vehicle was experiencing the same problem with transmission as stated in recall # 99 v 178 000, but this vehicle was not part of recall due VIN.
