2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2010

My wife's Hyundai Tucson (either 2005 or 2006) almost caused an accident today when the acceleration became erratic and then stalled while at an intersection. She immediately brought it into our Hyundai service center. I spoke with a service manager to tell him about a tps (throttle position sensor) problem that I have found out about specific to the 05-06 Hyundai Tucson. I also called Hyundai because this problem will not show up as a 'fault code'. I have included here one of many notes found on the internet concerning this same problem: after having our 2006 Tucson in the dealer's service shop for over three days, it was determined that the car needed a new tps(throttle position sensor). This was after they contacted Hyundai techline and after I suggested that they test the tps as a possible cause (came to this conclusion after reviewing many websites/autoforums. Some facts: you will notice a stuttering or jerking feeling almost as if you had a manual transmission, were downshifting and releasing the clutch quickly when the engine rpm was not matched to the lower gear, or as if you tapped on the brake twice while decelerating. This motion can be either very slight or rather violent (once caused us to be actually pushed against our shoulder seat belt. 1. Almost always occurs when either coasting or decelerating, never when accelerating. 2. Usually happens between 40 -45 mph. 3. No fault code ever comes up so don't even have the tech waste his time. The service department drove the car for over three total hours to try to get a fault code reading with no results. 4. Car will stall when coming to a stop 50% of the time. 5. Happens when the transmission is warm. 6. Feels like transmission is trying to figure out what gear it wants to go into when decelerating.

3 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 12/17/2009

Problemas con el power train. History = en el primer aã‘o se daã‘o cd player lo cambiaron pero empece a tener dificultades con el horn por un mal entendido cambiaron el clock, hasta la fecha nunca me arreglaron el horn el cual deja y empieza a funcionar en cualquier momento. El vehiculo en veces prendia la luz del "check" pero por unas horas o un dia el dealer nunca encontro nada en veces tambien se daba como jalones como que se queria parar, se llego a para 3 veces, los del dealer nunca encontraron nada siempre la lleve ahi para mantenimiento y cambio DE aceite, ellos cobran demasiado por los servicios, ya cambie headlights 2 veces y otras lucesitas del frente, se cambio serpentine belt,bateria , llantas, parabrisas, frenos; en los ultimos 9 meses cambie a otro lugar para cambio y chequeo DE fluidos. El 12/17/09 7am, prendio a la 3rd vez que trate fui y vine al trabajo y casa sin problemas, por la tarde sali a los 15 minutos se empezo a jalonear y cada ves que bajaba la velocidad se queria apagar el motor lo cual sucedio al hacer algun stop, pero la prendia DE nuevo sin ningun problema al regreso a casa volvio a pararse varias veces, ademas se prendio la luz DE "check" y a los 5 minutos se prendio otra que por el seã‘or que levanto el vehiculo se que indicaba problemas en el "power train" y menciono tambien el 4x4. Total que al prender esa luz ya no quiso levantar la marcha nomas como a 1 milla por hora y eso jalonendose mucho, bueno por una u otra razon yo hable hasta el 12/29/09 para que la levantaran y hasta hoy se me comunico que tenia un sensor daã‘ado algo asi como "throtle position censor" por lo cual me quieren cobrar 455. 00 + taxes. Yo no tenia idea DE este sitio, y creo que tenia derecho DE que se me comunicara en el dealer acerca DE todos los recalls para este tipo DE vehiculo, estoy insatisfecha con el vehiculo y por los altos costos DE mantenimiento que he tenido que pagar DE algo que ya sabian que existia. Necesito ayuda urgene, please. Received complaint written in english.
