This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Consumer received a recall leter stating if check engine light illuminates if a crack developes in fuel tank. Consumer states light was on prior to receiving letter. Dealer stated they were charging for her for checking the engine light. Consumer feels she should not have to pay for a recall. Nlm
The engine will cut off at various speeds, causing the "check engine" light to come on. At this point the car will either resume operating or stall. It has been to the dealership several times and they tell me they cannot duplicate the problem and have never heard of anything like this happening before. I have contacted the manufacturer.
While driving on expressway vehicle shut off. Oil light and engine check light came on. Contacted dealer, and the dealer could not find anything wrong.
Transmission jumped out of gear and the gears sticks sometimes. Low fuel light, stopped operating/engine oil spot under hood, and rough idle. Dealer notified. The vehicle crack in fuel tank.
Intermittently while driving engine check light comes on. Vehicle reduces in speed with a very hard jolt. This all happens within 2-3 seconds. Right afterwards, the light goes off, and T vehicle goes back to normal again. Problem has been reported to the dealership.
Car seems to "hic-cup" - the engine seems to "shut off" and "turn on" again for a second or two while driving. As this happens, the "check engine" light stays lit for about 3 seconds. I have not contacted my dealer yet (it happened over the weekend), but I have sent an email to Hyundai motor about the problem. I have also read in several postings on the internet about other 1998 Accent owners having the same problem.
