| Since having the car, i've experienced problems with the transmission to include trans jumping out of gear occassionally, failure for gear shift to go into gear, complete failure of the transmission. other problems include electrical problems, i.e., alternator, battery, etc. but most prevelant was the transmission. i recently had to completely replace the transmission, torck converter, kick-down switch at a cost of approx. $3,100. when i contacted the dealer and hyundai, i was completely blown-off by both. i feel these are excessive repairs for a 3 year old car that has been serviced and maintenanced regularly. i also experience foul oders coming from the air conditioner as well as breaking problems. *ak | |||
