1997 Hyundai Elantra Power Train

MY CAR STARTED AT APPROXIMATELY 70,000 MILES, WHILE ALL MAINTENANCE WAS TAKEN CARE OF, STARTED SLIPPING GEARS, THEN I COULD NO LONGER REVERSE THE CAR. I, DUE TO LACK OF FUNDS HAD TO LET IT GO FOR A WHILE, BUT THEN GOT A REBUILT TRANSMISSION INSTALLED. AFTER THAT, 9,000 MILES LATER, I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I JUST DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT ANY CAR, AFTER JUST 70,000 MILES SHOULD HAVE THE TRANSMISSION GO. MANY PEOPLE TELL ME THEY ARE "DISPOSABLE" VEHICLES, BUT THIS IS THE SECOND HYUNDAI I HAVE OWNED, AND HAVE LOVED SO MUCH. I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THEY ARE AFFORDABLE, BUT DON'T THINK I WILL CONSIDER MYSELF A LOYAL HYUNDAI DRIVER EVER AGAIN. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LEAKING AND THE CAR IS SLIPPING OR NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY DURING NORMAL DRIVING!*AK

TRANSMISSION DIED AT 67000. REPEATEDLY HAD THE CAR IN FOR KNOCKING SOUNDS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON SINCE I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR AT 14 MILES. TRANSMISSION WILL STICK IN FIRST GEAR. THIRD HYUNDAI I BOUGHT. ALL HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM HYUNDAI AGAIN. *JB

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR UNLESS OVERIDE IS DEPLOYED WITH PEN PER DEALER. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION JUST SHUTS OFF AND IS ALSO LEAKING FLUID.*JB

CONSUMER STATES TRANSMISSION JERKS ON DECELERATION/ACCELERATION FROM STOPS AND THEN DOWN SHIFTS ROUGHLY. DEALER FOUND THE TRANSMISSION STARTS SLIPPING AND BANGING INTO GEAR. REPLACED TRANSMISSION WITH REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION AND FLUSH COOLER AND HOOK UP SCANNER. INTERMITTENTLY AFTER DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WON'T MOVE VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE OFF FROM A STOP. DEALER REPLACED PULSE GENERATORS. *TT

TRANSMISSION WENT EITHER TO REVERSE OR INTO FIRST GEAR WHICH COULD BRING VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP.CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALER. *AK CONSUMER STATES THAT SHE ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION LOCKING UP. *SLC

NO SUMMARY

SOMETIMES THE CLUTCH WOULD NOT RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER BEING APPLIED WHILE DRIVING. *AK

WHEN ATTEMTING TO SHIFT GEARS, THE CLUTCH PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR - WITH NO PRESSURE, NOT ALLOWING THE SHIFTED.

IF THE DRIVERS FOOT ACCIDENTLY SLIPS OFF OF THE CLUTCH PEDAL, THE CLUTCH IS TOTALLY UNRESPONSIVE UNTIL IT'S PUMPED NUMEROUS TIMES.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LOW-GEAR AND GETS STUCK THERE PERIODICALLY. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS FROM TIME TO TIME. CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS COME ON.

CLUTCH NOT ENGAGED ALTHOUGH CLUTCH PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, CAUSING VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN IGNITION IS SWITCHED ON.
