2000 Hyundai
Accent GL Sedan
I have a 2001 Hyundai Accent GL. Recently while driving it, and releasing
the gas, the RPMs shoot down, as if I am driving a manual transmission,
and downshifting. Wouldn't be a big deal if the car wasn't an automatic.
When this occurred, the brakes would be very difficult to depress, as well
as a burning smell from coming from the engine. This happens after the car
has been running for 5 minutes. I brought it to the Hyundai dealership,
they called
back 2 hrs later saying that they could not emulate the problem. I
insisted there was a problem, so they apparently took it back out, and
could still not find anything wrong. (They said they had taken it out
three times, I don't believe them.) $75 and a waste of a day later, I
drive the thing 15 mins to find out that nothing had been done to the car,
if anything the problem was worse, because apparently they had reset some
timing aspect of the transmission. The 10yr/100K mile warranty is useless,
as Hyundais do not reach either. The car has 29K miles on it, and I would
be surprised if it made it to 60K.
