| Defect Summary | Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. the automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. this leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo, allowing them to slip. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve. | |||||||||||||||

| This complaint is related to nhtsa campaign id 99v178000 for a hyundai tiburon 1999. the car is experiencing the consequences detailed in the campaign. i contacted the manufacturer, they are saying that the campaign does not apply to my vehicle vin#. i don't agree with this based on the description of the issues the vehicle has related to acceleration and the fact that my car fits the model, year and make of the recall campaign. | |||

| Had cd player replaced, computer failure after that where the check engine light comes on, they replaced it - the the battery died for no reason, they replaced that, now my car is shifting out of control and surges when at stop light with my foot on the brake pedal, while driving 60m mph the car shifts into the same gear continuously and jolts then slows - they cant see a problem and say they cant help me, when they test drive it it's fine - the second i take it home from the dealership it starts up - it is dangerous to drive but since they cant find the problem from a test drive and computer test they dont know what to do except send me home with a dangerous car. *ak | |||
