Tl*the contact owns a 2000 hyundai sonata. while driving approximately 45 mph, the engine began to rev excessively high and the vehicle lunged forward unexpectedly. when the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated and vibrated. in addition, the automatic transmission shifted violently into gear. there was no power response during acceleration, which resulted in the engine stalling intermittently. the warning indicator also illuminated on the instrument panel intermittently. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection, but they were unable to duplicate the failures. the mass damper was replaced. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on six separate occasions for identical failures. the repairs consisted of a complete tune up, replacement of the output speed sensor, and the battery was replaced twice; however, the failures continued. the extended warranty on the vehicle expired at 60,000 miles. the vehicle has not been repaired. the failure mileage was 13,559 and current mileage was 82,505. | |||

2000 hyundai sonata with 42,000 miles stalls intermittently at red lights, stop signs, low speed deceleration, and at acceleration. also, during accelleration, the car intermittently lurches or jerks as if it's going to stall. septemer 1 2003, while traveling about 35mph it stalled and had to be towed to the dealership. the power steering won't work when it stalls. on 8/29/03 the vehicle had been taken to the first team auto mall dealership for stalling 8-10 times the previous week. i was told there was nothing wrong with the car. the dealership service department claimed that their diagnostic equipment did not detect any codes and the car never stalled during test drives. i was told that i could pick the car up. i did so 8/29/03 and drove it without incident until 9/ 1, when it stalled again. i know from researching nhtsa that a recall was done on 2000 hyundai sonata's with 6 cylinder engines for this. (complaint # 880356, recall # 00v259001). my 4 cylinder sonata is doing the same thing. 8/29, i spoke with gary baber, the dealership manager, chris clowser, the service dept manager and eric adams, advisor. they all sounded like a broken record: if the car doesn't do anything while we have it, then there's no way we can do anything to fix it; our diagnostic equipment did not pick up any codes. i wouldn't be surprised if the car starts fine tomorrow and i get a call from the dealership saying the car is fine and they couldn't find anything wrong with it. i am afraid to drive this car; it is unsafe, dangerous and could get someone killed. in addition, it is a practically new car that cannot be taken outside of the city limits due to its unreliability. i was very touched by the complaint i read (#880356) and could relate somewhat to the anguish that consumer endured at the hands of hyundai. their struggle seemed very long and arduous ; i don't know how it ended for them, but this merits investigation because lives are at stake.*ak | |||
