“During summer months, the high tempature effects my 1995 Hyundai Accent. The transmission has trouble shifting from first gear to second. This problem only happens when it is hot outside or I have taken a long drive, like on the highway. I have had transmission specialists examine the transmission and test all the sensors twice. They have not been able to find the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10072582, filed 2004-05“My car has been brought in several times for failure to start. This problem occurred initally after the car stalled and failed to start in an intersection on 11/12/96. At this time the map sensor was replaced. Since then several trips to the dealer have not diagnosed the continuing start-up failures due to the fact that they occur sporadically. The car does eventually start. I have contacted road side assistance several times due to this, and now just live with it. My automatic transmission has not been able to release from park without depressing the inner override switch. …”
