TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI ACCENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND STARTED TO DECELERATE.

A TRIP TURNED INTO TWICE BEING STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH THIS CAR. NEVER BEEN OUT OF THE BAY AREA WITH IT. IT STARTS SKIPPING A FEW BEATS, LOSES ACCELERATION. RECOVERS ITSELF UNTIL THE NEXT TIME. BECOMES QUITE INTERMITTENT AFTER THAT POINT. I GOT TO JACKSONVILLE AFTER LEAVING HERE. LOST POWER, TOSSED WHITE SMOKE OUT THE TAIL PIPE. JUST LUGS ALONG AND THEN RECOVERS. SO I PULLED OFF THE FREEWAY. INTO A SHOPPING MALL. TURNED IT OFF. STARTED IT AGAIN? NOTHING BUT WHITE SMOKE OUT THE BACK END. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK. HAD IT TOWED INTO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WHERE AFTER AN HOUR? THEY HAD DONE SOME TYPE OF EMISSIONS CLEAN OUT? AND A TRANSMISSION FLUSH. OUT OF POCKET? $289. I LEAVE. I DECIDE TO COME BACK HOME INSTEAD. I JUST DIDN'T TRUST THIS CAR THE REST OF THE WAY TO VA.. I GET TO...

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WENT OUT TO PULL IT INTO THE GARAGE. WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BREAK TO EXCELERATE, THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD (WITHOUT ME GIVING IT ANY GAS). I RETURNED MY FOOT LIGHTLY TO THE BREAK. THE THRUST THREW ME INTO THE STEERING WHEEL. I CALLED THE TOW SERVICE AND HAD MY CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. DURING THE RIDE TO THE DEALER THE TOW DRIVER SAID THAT HE HAD TO HOLD HIS FOOT ON THE BREAK IN ORDER TO CONTROL THE CAR AND GET IT ON THE TRUCK. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY CAR FOR THREE DAYS AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. SHE TOLD ME THAT THE DIAGNOSTIC SHOWED NO NUMBERS THAT WOULD INDICATE THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. SHE STATED THAT THERE WERE SOME CODES THAT CAME UP BUT THEY WERE...

I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH SHIFTING INTO GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY ISSUES AT ALL. I ALSO JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS NOT WORKING EITHER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALLS ON EITHER. IT'S UPSETTING TO SEE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SHIFTING PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT ANYONE WITHIN HYUNDAI HAS BOTHERED TO SEE IF THIS PROBLEM EXISTS WITH OTHER 5 SPEED ACCENTS. *TR
