1 Manual Transmission problem of the 2009 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 05/25/2010

I have a 2009 Hyundai Sonata with a 5 speed manual transmission. On Tuesday, may 25, 2010, I was traveling on route295 south in ri when I tried to shift from 4th gear to 5th gear. I pressed my clutch in and tried to shift, the clutch never came back up and my car stalled in the middle lane of the highway. I couldn't get the clutch to come back and the car lost its speed down to about 5-10 miles per hour, if that. The person behind me went around me but the woman behind him smashed into me doing around 70mph. Her car pushed mine forward and into the next lane. My airbags never deployed. Luckily, I walked away with a bruised left arm and that was all. My husband had called our dealership a few times regarding this issue but because it didn't stick all the time, they couldn't tell us what was wrong. My car is an absolute mess right now and I don't know if it can be repaired.

5 Manual Transmission problem of the 2002 Hyundai Sonata

Failure Date: 01/10/2004

I purchased a 2002 Hyundai Sonata and have had nothing but trouble with it. To date we have had the O2 sensors replaced due to numerous check engine indicators. We have had the clutch replaced, the transmission replaced, the clutch depression switch after having the clutch and transmission replaced the switch failed to work consistently preventing the car from starting. After having the switch replaced, the very next day I smelled an electrical burning smell which then caused my headlights to dim the heater fan/motor to drop in speed and the windshield wipers to move very slowly. I brought the car to the dealership, houser Hyundai of springfield, MA. And while waiting for the service bay doors to open the car was enveloped in a cloud of smoke the instant I turned the heater on (January 10, 2004) temp outside was -9 degrees. At any rate the service manager was notified the instant I smelled something burning but he did not see the smoke when I was waiting at the dealership the next day. He did admit to smelling the burning ??? but could not duplicate the problem when we left it to be checked and I was told there was nothing they could do. The old saying goes where there is smoke this "fire" so I am checking it off as such in this complaint. The car is and has been a saftey concern to me and my family. I have a CO-worker and my wife as witnesses to both the burning smell and electrical "load" malfunctions due to what ever has short circuited and my wife in particular observed the "smoke" billowing from beneath the car on the day we brought it to the dealership. I fully intend to file a complaint as well with the massachusetts state government of which I am employed under the "lemon law. " respectfully; dale wyman.
