Transmission Solenoid Problems of Hyundai Elantra

The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Whenever the contact shifted into park, the gear would never stick. The vehicle would either move forward for a few seconds before coming to a complete stop. Whenever the gear was in drive, the vehicle would jerk forward. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle would not move or would suddenly accelerate. The vehicle was taken to the dealer three times for these failures. During the first visit, the mechanic replaced the transmission, which corrected the issue for less than four months. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they stated that the solenoids were causing the failures. The dealer replaced the valve assembly and the solenoids. There had been no further occurrences since the last repair. The contact believes that a recall should be issued since it appeared to be a manufacturer defect.

Purchased 1999 Hyundai Elantra in April of 1999. On 1/15/2001 vehicle died and was towed to dealership. Transmission replaced. Mileage at the time-33,663. On April 24, 2008, I was advised by mechanic that the transmission was slipping. Vehicle does not properly shift into gear. Entire car shakes if driven over 50 mph. Car speeds up when accelerator pressed. When I noticed there was a manufacturer's recall, in regards to the transmission, I contacted dealer who refused to replace pressure control solenoid valve. Was told that the recall did not involve my VIN. Contacted Hyundai corporate office and was told the same thing. Vehicle now has 134,000 miles on it. Recall id #99v178000. Neither dealer nor Hyundai will honor. This is a definite safety issue and needs to be resolved immediately. Numerous complaints have previously been filed regarding the same issue.

I took my 1999 Hyundai Elantra in to obrien auto park in fort myers service center to get looked at and fixed. I had trouble codes that I had checked prior going there at autozone that were codes po747, po743, po442. The first to are codes involving my automatic transmission. I viewed on your website that there were recalls on the pressure control solenoid that involved code po747 which states it was in the stuck on position! I told the service manager all of this there and he told me there were no recalls on the solenoid and that he couldn't do anything for me! I had 2 other codes that were, po732, and po734 pertaining to the 2nd and 4th gear ratio being incorrect! I explained that at first there was a electrical issue which change the codes to the state it's in now and he told me we'll look at it and call you when we find out anything. I said ok, he called a few hours later and told me the service tech said I needed a new transmission. I said no, I am not an idiot! there was an electrical problem and this is why I brought it in. He stated to me that, he could not go by the codes I had from autozone because they were generic codes and Hyundai wouldn't except them. My only option was to have the transmission replaced. This guy is lying and I know it! even the guy at autozone told me it was a electrical malfunction caused by the solenoid!!! please help. Now I am out of work 2 days now and even may loose my job over this! nothing was done to correct this problem and I would never buy a Hyundai again!!!!!!!!.
