Hyundai Accent 1999

• Recall 9668 [USA]: 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.
  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.
  dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.

• Recall 1999140 [Canada]: Powertrain
  On certain vehicles, the pressure control solenoid valve seals in the automatic transmission are not sufficiently elastic. This could result in automatic transmission fluid leakage at the pressure control solenoid valve interface to the valve body. This fluid leakage results in reduced pressure application to the internal transmission friction elements, which allows them to slip. Slippage of the friction elements can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces and may cause the vehicle not to accelerate, or not to accelerate as expected, when the driver presses the accelerator pedal. Correction: a new pressure control solenoid valve seal will be installed in the transmission.

(note). I called hyundai they told it isn't under warranty(10years or 60000milles), i told them it is about safety those parts should be lifetime warranty!!!!!!!!!!!! *tr

My 1999 hyundai accent vehicle got hit on the rear (bumper) while i was still on a red light and the impact was so strong that the hit propelled my vehicle to hit the vehicle in front of my vehicle (a suburban truck) causing rear and front damages to the hyundai. The suburban incurred zero damages, while the limousine that hit me incurred very little damages if any. My vehicle got 'sandwich' even though i was about 4 to 6 feet behind the vehicle in front of me. My children were on the rear seats and incurred limited injuries. I received injuries and vehicle was total lost. The airbags did not deploy at anytime. I contacted the hyundai corporate and an investigation is yet to be scheduled. I received written confirmation that my hyundai vehicle has not been the only one with airbags deployment failure. That to me is a big safety issue that needs to be investigated accordingly. *tr

Dt*: the contact stated while pumping gas at a gas station, the fuel filler pipe neck would only allow so much gasoline at a time upon entering the fuel tank as though it was already full of gasoline. The vehicle was inspected by an independent repair shop who determined the pressure relief vacuum needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not alerted.

Fuel line and power steering line rubbed where they were close together in the engine compartment causing a hole in the fuel line which was spraying a steady strem of gasloline right into the engine compartment all over the transmission and radiator fans. I feel that this was a design flaw and that those lines never should have been placed that close together this is not a laughing matter however hyundai motors of america tol me there was nothing they could do about it because my car is out of warranty.I could have been killed there could have been an explosion and or fire. *nm
