| Tl*the contact owns a 2000 hyundai accent. almost two months after the transmission was replaced on the vehicle, the engine failed to start. all of the indicators on the instrument panel were illuminated. the contact took the vehicle to a mechanic and had the battery replaced; however, the failure persisted. she called the manager at the dealer where the transmission was replaced and was advised to make sure that the vehicle was fully in the park position. she placed the gear from park into drive and then back into the park gear. the engine was finally able to start. she believes this is a safety issue because she should not have to move her gears around numerous times to start the vehicle. the contact has an appointment with the dealer to have the vehicle inspected. the current and failure mileages were 84,000. | |||

| I have a hyundai accent gl model 2000. the vehicle has run so far 44000 miles. i travel every day on freeway 405 for my work from northridge to culver city. this car has chronic power problems. even when i press the gas, car does not pick up as expected. in other words, the car cannot be driven smoothly. i have reported this matter many time to hyundai dealers and they do not seems to be serious in attending to this problem. they have informed me that this is the operational characteristic of this vehicle. as i am required to constantly apply pressure on the gas, i have developed pain in my legs and shoulders. it is stressful to concentrate on the free traffic with this problem in the vehicle. i request you to help me fixing this problem from the manufacturers. thanks. *nlm | |||

| In snow, icy or wet road conditions this unpredictable loss of rpm's and power train response makes car handling and control very difficult. we are aware of other complaints logged on auto forums in the usa and that is why we are reporting this to draw attention to a potentially much bigger problem. we have had this vehicle in for warranty repair 8 times over 10 months. they say they have never heard of this problem, yet there are other internet reports of the same problem. they say they cannot fix it, which means, difficult to control cars are on the road. we hope this helps the us consumers identify this problem in an import vehicle in your country. *ak | |||

| Changing gears when the gear shift let go . i had no more gears couldn't drive. turns out the shifter rod goes into the transmission and is held in place with a shear pin. shear pin broke i had to replace transmission pins are not supposed to break according to a hyundai mechanic. but lately they have had a few vehicles with the same problem i think this should be a recall. it cost me 900 because of a pin that's not supposed to break. thank you for listening . i hope you can do something about it. thank you. *nm | |||

| Initially, the shift would get stuck between first and second gear. they kept taking the car back, saying they were going to look at it or we found a little part and fixed it..this went on until they stated they put in a new transmission. when this did not help, they said they could no longer do anything because the problem could not duplicated for them. the problem continued for months. i came close to having an accident when i couldn't get into reverse one time, to get out of the way of traffic. i continued to stay in touch...they told me that they couldn't do anything, because they never could find the problem. they finally called me a couple of months ago and admitted that hyundai had sent them some info about a problem with shifting in first and second gear, and that they could fix it. we took the car back. they fixed it so well that when i got it home, it would pop from fifth gear to neutral while i was driving...they took it back, fixed it again...said it was a worn nut or something. now the car makes a chain type sound and bumps while in first and second gear...this has happened about ten times over the past five days. they said they can't do anything because they can't duplicate the problem....please help...i might be dead before the problem is ever duplicated to these people....they won't keep the car long enough to fix it. i think they feel it's our problem.*ak | |||
