Consumer Description

CAR SEEMS TO "HIC-CUP" - THE ENGINE SEEMS TO "SHUT OFF" AND "TURN ON" AGAIN FOR A SECOND OR TWO WHILE DRIVING. AS THIS HAPPENS, THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT STAYS LIT FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED MY DEALER YET (IT HAPPENED OVER THE WEEKEND), BUT I HAVE SENT AN EMAIL TO HYUNDAI MOTOR ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO READ IN SEVERAL POSTINGS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT OTHER 1998 ACCENT OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.
