Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchase my car a 1999 hyundai elantra, sept 0f 1999, since the purchase of this car i've had a problem with the car not accelerating when pressing on the accelerator and the car decelerating while driving, i've contacted hyundai numerous times over the past 4 years and have not been able to get hyundai to fix this problem even though i've told them about the recall nhtsa campaign number 99v178000, they refuse to acknowledge that my car should have been part of this recall, even after telling hyundai my car is experiencing all the problems mention in this recall, i informed hynudai that this problem is putting my families life at risk, and this problem is now accurring every time i drive. i done all the things hyundai recommended which was having a diagnostic, which so far i've had 2 done, and gettting a complete tune-up, the problem is still there .after the first diagnotic i was told that the computer reset itself, so that now no problem shows, and they claim they cannot go in and check without the diagnostic showing a problem, i think this is a despective practice since the computer resetting now hides any pre-extisting problems. this situation is causing me a considerable amount of stress and fear for my family safety and i feel i am now stuck with a car that is now undrivable and that hyundai is putting my families life at risk.*ak
