NHTSA Complaint #10246945 — 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA

PURCHASED 1999 HYUNDAI ELANTRA IN APRIL OF 1999. ON 1/15/2001 VEHICLE DIED AND WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. TRANSMISSION REPLACED. MILEAGE AT THE TIME-33,663. ON APRIL 24, 2008, I WAS ADVISED BY MECHANIC THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. VEHICLE DOES NOT PROPERLY SHIFT INTO GEAR. ENTIRE CAR SHAKES IF DRIVEN OVER 50 MPH. CAR SPEEDS UP WHEN ACCELERATOR PRESSED. WHEN I NOTICED THERE WAS A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL, IN REGARDS TO THE TRANSMISSION, I CONTACTED DEALER WHO REFUSED TO REPLACE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE. WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL DID NOT INVOLVE MY VIN. CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. VEHICLE NOW HAS 134,000 MILES ON IT. RECALL ID #99V178000. NEITHER DEALER NOR HYUNDAI WILL HONOR. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE PREVIOUSLY BEEN FILED REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
