Consumer Description

ABOUT: 2002 HYUNDAI ACCENT PROBLEM HAPPENS SHORT TIME AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND CAR HAS A SUDDEN LARGE LOSS OF POWER, OVERDRIVE CUTS OUT. PROBLEM MAY PERSIST FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN GO AWAY AND COME BACK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE GOING AWAY. SITUATION: MY WIFE WAS CROSSING A STREET AND COULD NOT GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
