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.

After 3 hours of highway driving after buying certified used car check engine light comes on. I drive for another hour and then have the code scanned. The code reader says "torque converter solenoid".as well as transmission temp sensor car has 87000 miles roughly... as well as sitting at a stop rpms are all up and down engine revs with foot on break and not even touching gas. Vehicle jerks forward when driving on highway and occasionally while parked
After 2 hours of highway driving at 70 mph, check engine light comes on. I drive for another hour and then have the code scanned. The code reader says "torque converter solenoid". Hyundai will not pay for any of the repairs. I know there is a tech. Service bulletin for this, so I wanted to NHTSA to make note I have problems with this such that it may turn into a recall.
The car was in the process of stopping for a red light, the tachometer showed and increase to about 2,000 RPM. I put the car into neutral and the engine throttled back to a normal 800 RPM. The rest of the short trip was uneventful. About an hour later on another short trip, I again came to a stop at a red light and the engine again revved up but this time to about 4,000 RPM, I could hardly stop the car with the brakes and again put it in neutral whereupon it again settled back to a normal 800 RPM. The rest of the short trip was uneventful. The second time my wife was in the car; she is afraid to drive it as she said if that happened to her she wouldn't know what to do. I will take it to my mechanic.
