• 99V178000Jul 7, 199911,530 vehicles potentially affected
  Power train › Automatic transmission
  Covers: Hyundai Elantra 1999, Accent 1999, Tiburon 1999

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. The automatic transmission pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic, resulting in transmission fluid leakage. This leakage can result in reduced pressure application to the clutches, brake, and kickdown servo, allowing them to slip.

  Possible consequence: Such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and could cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.
