Went to dealership and advised of a transmission problem. Supposedly a service flag was sent to dealerships and just "flush" the transmission. 5 days later and 550 miles from home, the car broke down, was towed and advised I needed a new transmission. Still sitting out of state waiting for the part to arrive.
The contact owns a 2008 Hyundai Sonata. While the vehicle was parked in the contact's driveway, his child was able to place the gear into neutral. The vehicle rolled backward, struck a utility box, and drove over a bicycle. When the vehicle struck the utility box, the passenger door was almost torn off. There were no injuries. The dealer sent a packet with paperwork asking for the vehicle description, insurance reports, and pictures. The vehicle is currently at the collision center being repaired. The entire passenger side was damaged. The failure and current mileages were 19,000. Updated 06/23/09. Updated 06/23/09.
