| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Car has been in hyundai dealership in thousand oaks, ca 4 times this year with exact same problem. it feels like transmission to me. (i have automatic) when on interstate, rpm's will go high and car won't shift. at stop light, car will sit without my foot on brake or gas and not move. extreme pushing on gas pedal to get car to accelerate is needed. everytime in dealership they say it was some sort of sensor. this last time 12/4/03 they said they won't replace my transmission yet and will change some computer chip in transmission. they said "your car is safe to drive." i took my car home with it doing the same problem. on my way to work that night my engine light came on and car doing same problem. left work in am straight to dealership (within 4 mi) and told the head guy. he said he knew me and my car and didn't want to help. "what do you want me to do?" he said. i said "i'm not driving my car." he said "do you want to leave it hear?" i said "yes." i told him my engine light has never come on before and now it is on. he said "you have driven you car with the engine light on before." i said "never, my light has never come on before." i left with a loaner car which he was reluctant to give me because i wasn't supposed to get that until 12/9/03 when i was to bring in my car to have the chip replaced (they had to order it). my car clearly unsafe to drive, they won't listen to me. i know of a recall #99v178000. they haven't looked into this. it came july 06/ 1999. i bought my car around 7/13/99. no written or phone call to me regarding this recall. i took my car in for the recall #v03 manifold and there wasn't a problem with this. *la |
