| 2008 accent, i bought in february has ground hog problems. two weeks ago, i saw a ground hog go under my car and several times after. about ten days ago, the transmission would stay in 1st gear and would not shift (when starting). when it finally did shift,at about 4 k rpm, the transmission would remain in the higher gears. trying to start from a dead stop is quite slow. the check engine light also came on. i took the car into the dealers. the repair man said that 3 of the cables were chewed. one for the trans., one for the brake level indicator, and one for the speedometer. the damage was not covered by hyundai's warranty. they replaced the wires at $402.00. it's eight days later. i've lost the speedometer cable. for some reason these wires attract ground hog. none of the other people in the area. in the 19 years i have lived here, none of the other 5 cars i owed had this problem. in fact one was a 2003 accent. the dealer said they can not do anything to fix this problem. i put down moth balls and fox scent to ward the hogs off, but they like this wires. loosing the trans. and speedometer can make driving little dangerous. this there any way to make hyundai replace this wires or hid them so pests won't eat them thank you, e allan stone *tr | |||

| I had the car checked by the factory rep, and service mgr. at crestmont hyundai via a road test. i described the vibration problems with the tires and they both agreed to load balance the tires, which took away most of the tire problems. the second problem is with the shifting of the transmission ( automatic) when cold or hot. when cold going from reverse to drive the car has a dead zone before it will engage into drive. these few seconds that i wait for it to engage has caused problems in traffic, which i feel will result in a accident. when it does engage it shifts very abruptly or basically lunging into drive. the factory rep. even said the nature of the car shifting the way it does is normal. upon exiting the h/way if the car does not have sufficient time to send the signal from the computer to the transmission, it searches for the signal or abruptly shifts into drive or hangs in a semi neutral zone before engaging. if this is a normal operation of this car, someone is going to be hurt or killed as a result of it. please help before i take a hit on trading away this car for a honda or toyota. i was assured when i was purchasing this car that the difference between a automatic and manual trans. that the gas mileage was negligent. i now know that the finance mgr. was definitely wrong and i was a fool for not doing my homework . the gas mileage is actually worse than my 1991 honda civic hatchback, that has almost 180,000 miles on it. go figure that one out!!!! *tr | |||
