1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPTEMBER OF 1999 FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP. OVER A YEAR AGO MY TRANSMISSION STARTING SLIPPING I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRENTY THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. JUST 2 DAYS AGO MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I NOW LONGER HAD 4TH GEAR AND 3RD WOULD SLIP IN AND OUT. I LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THIS SENSOR BEFORE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AGAIN WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN LAST YEAR. THIS IS A BIG HASSLE NOT TO MENTION MY CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALSO ON AND MY ALTERNATER WENT ON THE FRITZ A FEW MONTHS AGO. THIS CAR IS TOO NEW FOR THESE PROBLEMS AND I DONT THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI AGAIN.*AK
