| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with 1.5 liter or 1.6 liter engines that were originally sold in or currently registered in the states of alaska, colorado, idaho, illinois, indiana, iowa, kansas, maine, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, montana, north dakota, nebraska, new hampshire, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, south dakota, vermont, wisconsin, and wyoming. while driving at a steady throttle opening for an extended period of time during extremely cold ambient temperatures (below approximately -5 degrees fahrenheit with high humidity), moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases can freeze and block the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve and hose. if the pcv hose freezes, combustion chamber gases are forced through the breather hose into the air intake hose and then into the throttle body. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Moisture in the combustion chamber blowby gases may freeze inside the throttle body bore and throttle body idle speed control circuit resulting in the throttle valve not closing fully and a higher than normal idle speed when the accelerator pedal is released. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will install a new, relocated pcv hose and will additionally install a heated throttle body on the 2000-2001 accents equipped with 1.5 liter engines that were produced through january 31, 2001. owner notification began april 15, 2002. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact hyundai at 1-800-633-5151. | |||||||||||||||

| 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 | |||
