| On 09/04/07 i bought a used 2002 hyundai sonata and on 09/05/07 the car lost 1st and 4th gear it seemed as if the transmission were going out , but when i started reviewing other consumer related issues i noticed over 900 consumers had the same problems with their hyundai's , but the cause ended up being the output speed sensor. which in some cases took consumers up to 6 months to locate one. unfortunately i financed the car as is with no warranty. *jb | |||

| We recentlty purchased a used but showroom condition hyundai sonata with somewhere around 29,000 miles on it from a dealership. after about three weeks my son had to leave it in a parking lot. the throttle/cruise control cable (even tho he did not have the cruise control on) was stuck. he thought the problem was fixed so hedrove the car a few more weeks and was on his way home when the same thing happened again only this time he ran into a utility pole. the car was damaged pretty baddly but thank the lord he was not. he could have been killed. the utility company is charging us about $4000.00 or more dollars for the work they had to do to the pole. i called hyundai consumer affairs. the car is at a hyundai dealership. consumer affairs is mailing me a form to fill out. i do not know if hyundai is going to claim responsiblity or not. i feel that this problem needs to be researched to see if there have been any other problems with the throttle/cruise control sticking making it impossible to stop or causing any other problem. i hate to see someone die from this.*ak | |||
