Traveling north on interstate 15 at 75 mph, with the car on cruise control. at the start of a curve the car started to accelerate. it reached over 5,000 rpms. stepping on the brake accomplished nothing. i shut off the cruise control it continued to accelerate over 6,000 rpms i shut the engine and finally got control of the car. during this time i had gone off the highway down a ravine hitting boulders and rocks and into the desert and damaging my car. i re-started the car and the engine sounded weird. i shut the engine again and waited for a longer period before restarting. it sounded better so i shifted the car into gear and started forward slowly. there was a transmission firm nearby. they put the car up on a computer, and i was told that the code read p.o. 12. the mechanic told me that he unwound the cruise cable by hand and it should be safe to drive as long as i did not use the cruise control. i brought the car to the nearest hyundai dealer and they said that the code had been erased. later during hyundai investigation i was told that the mechanic said he had removed the code in order to test the cruise control. on my return home i brought the car back to hyundai and they said they could do nothing. i am thankful that my wife and i were not harmed. all i want is hyundai to accept the responsibility of fixing the car. hyundai was not helpful in anyway and instead acted as if i made up the entire incident. they told me a decision would be made in 4-6 weeks. after the 6 week period i contacted hyundai it is still under investigation. now t hey tell me there is no time period for a decision. can you please advise me what i should do next. *tr | |||

I purchased a 2002 hyundai sonata and have had nothing but trouble with it. to date we have had the o2 sensors replaced due to numerous check engine indicators. we have had the clutch replaced, the transmission replaced, the clutch depression switch after having the clutch and transmission replaced the switch failed to work consistently preventing the car from starting. after having the switch replaced, the very next day i smelled an electrical burning smell which then caused my headlights to dim the heater fan/motor to drop in speed and the windshield wipers to move very slowly. i brought the car to the dealership, houser hyundai of springfield, ma. and while waiting for the service bay doors to open the car was enveloped in a cloud of smoke the instant i turned the heater on (january 10, 2004) temp outside was -9 degrees. at any rate the service manager was notified the instant i smelled something burning but he did not see the smoke when i was waiting at the dealership the next day. he did admit to smelling the burning ??? but could not duplicate the problem when we left it to be checked and i was told there was nothing they could do. the old saying goes where there is smoke this fire so i am checking it off as such in this complaint. the car is and has been a saftey concern to me and my family. i have a co-worker and my wife as witnesses to both the burning smell and electrical load malfunctions due to what ever has short circuited and my wife in particular observed the smoke billowing from beneath the car on the day we brought it to the dealership. i fully intend to file a complaint as well with the massachusetts state government of which i am employed under the lemon law. respectfully; dale wyman. *ak | |||
