1999 Hyundai Accent recalls, newest first

July 7, 1999NHTSA 99V17800011,530 vehicles potentially affected

Power train › Automatic transmission

Summary: 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.
Consequence: 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.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the pressure control solenoid valve.
