Accelerator Stuck Problems of Hyundai Accent

The gas pedal started sticking partway down, causing the car to accelerate precipitously and the engine to rev, even when in park. Once, when driving, I solved the revving noise by literally reaching down to the pedal and yanking it back up towards me once I stopped at a stoplight. The repair shop noted that this seems to be a common problem in Hyundai Accents, with stories of it readily available online. The problem was solved when they replaced the entire gas pedal assembly, which conveniently was in stock at the local warehouse, since Hyundai seems to know this is a problem. A major safety issue that deserves a recall!!!.

The accelerator pedal sticks in the down position and doesn't immediately return to the fully disengaged position. This happens anytime I press down on the accelerator pedal, especially in cold weather. The engine stays reved for up to 3 seconds after I take my foot off the pedal and I can feel the pedal slowly move back up. Sometimes I have to pull it back up to the neutral position. Occasionally, the accelerator pedal will stay engaged even after I press the brake, causing the car to lurch forward when I release the brake pedal. This has been a continuing problem that has been getting worse for the past two years.

The closest dealership to me was in augusta georgia. The transmission shop in my town told me I needed a tork converter,epc assembly,complete planetary set up,left axle bearing,housing, busking kit?,master kit,fluid,fliter, and auxillary cooler. I notified Hyundai,western nat'l, taylor automotive in GA. , and todey in CA. Not until after I called with charges was I told Hyundai had to do the repairs for warranty. Ca. Told me that I misunderstood my owner's manual when it said that if it was unreasonable to get the vehicle serviced by an authorized Hyundai tech. , my warranty would be nullified. Hyundai nullified my powertrain warranty 1month later. I was told by Hyundai's cust serv. In CA. That I had no right to call my situation an emergency,only they had that right. I asked them and all concerned why they had me tow the car knowing my local tech had diagnosed the problem and they knew that. I was told because another tech touched the transmission and they did not take transmissions apart but switch to new trans. They would chrg. Me at 1/2 price. A "new" transmission and p/up of the car was8/24/2001. On the way home,the car would slow down on small inclines fr 55 -45. It started stalling when turning or going over bumps. I was able to take it back on 1/9/2001 and no codes from diagnostic mach. And the tech saw that a hose needed cleaning for the accelerator sticking. Almost home,the car jerked, stalled, changed gears;reved up and would choke when accelerating. It threatens to go off and sometimes does when accelerating from 0-anything. I was told I had to bring it back, but I am afraid that it will stop on the road like it did 1/9/2002 when a truck almost hit me. The car is in worse shape now then before. I know these problems have been documented at Hyundai from more than I. We all seem to void warranty,1996 Accent's transmission defective,gears shifting problems,no codes or findings when brought in for serv. &rude reps.

Accelerator stuck as my daughter was driving the car. No damage just a scared kid. Could have been major if she had been in traffic. The dealer repaired the part and was very good about it.
