Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING IN MAY OF 2000. CAR HAD APPROX. 40,000 MILES ON IT. DEALER REPLACED IT UNDER WARRANTY. IN JULY OF 2001, THE NEW TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN. WE TOOK IT TO A NEW DEALER (TOM O'BRIEN HYUNDAI OF DANVERS). THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT BACK IN AUGUST OF 2001. THIS TIME THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AGAIN. WE TOOK IT BACK. THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. ON DECEMBER 11, 2001, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. SHE HEARD A LOUD NOISE. SHE PULLED OVER AND THE CAR STALLED. WHEN SHE RESTARTED IT, THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT WORKING. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED INTO THE DEALER. THEY CLAIM THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERFILLED WITH FLUID. THE TRANSMISSION WAS NEVER TOUCHED BY ANYONE BUT THEM. HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR SINCE THE CAR WAS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY. WE TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP SNAPPED OFF AND DAMAGED THE TRANSMISSION. WE HAD IT FIXED FOR $1500. WE HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE CAR.
