Gearbox not changing gear

2013 Hyundai Accent hatchback, automatic 150875 miles
The car is semi-automatic, but when you put car in D, it takes a while for the car to move and makes it a bit slow when going uphill. Decided to put it in manual to see if it makes a difference, after putting it in manual I noticed it stayed in only gear 3, not going up or down after trying to shift it. Realizing why it's so slow on in small hills.

I would check the Shift sensors on top of your transmission usually under your air filter box.

Engine light on

2012 Hyundai Accent Manual 33000 miles
When accelerating through gears sometimes if not fully accelerated and change gear it struggles for only a second or two and the engine light flashes and then goes off. The last time it did it the light has stayed on. The car still runs fine with mo probatt all until I change gear with going a little slower and it still chugs for a couple of secs then takes off all good. Could it be just needs new plugs ??

2005 gls 1.6 auto. When at operating temperature, vehicle slips going into overdrive and gets stuck in 4th gear. Have replaced all recommended sensors input/output transmission speed, vehicle speed, tranny fluid is full and not too bad, thinking of draining and switching out fluid since not knowing what the previous owners used for transmission fluid and read a lot about non- hyundai fluid causing the same issue. At a loss honestly, check engine light will stay off after battery disconnect UNTIL it does its lurch when downshifting from OD to 4th to accelerate. When it shifts rough, it won't go back into OD until you stop, turn off the car, take the key out of the ignition and restart. Again, if at operating temperature it'll do it again the minute it has the chance. HOWEVER... This has the push button OD button on the gear shift and I can drive it, using only the OD when on the highway going 70mph. If I need to pass someone or accel up a hill, I take it out of OD (3000-4500rmp) and once ready to just cruise, I push the button and it goes into OD.

Recently, when stopping to restart and get it out of "limp mode", it won't immediately restart. It'll act as if the starter is having issues... let it sit 3-5 minutes and it will crank over just fine. Really need this commuter car running but it's nickel and diming this single mom of an special needs kiddo! Any help????

did you end up finding a solution to this problem? i have the same problem with my hyundai accent 2017 on 30k odom i just bought and not sure why
Gina222 from United States 2 years ago
@wilsonSadly no, I dumped the car at a dealership as a trade in. That car nickel and dimed me once that issue started. I replaced ALL the sensors TWICE, entire coolant system eventually, tranny fluid 6 times in 1 year. It was a nightmare that NEVER WAS FIXED.
sorry wish I had better news. Good luck!

@Gina222wow that sucks to hear man :( thanks for the reply have a good one mate
Qwerty7756 from United States 22 days ago
@Gina222You fired the parts cannon at it. Thats how you do things the dumbest way possible. Want proof? You changed the sensors and it didn’t fix it so you did it again... thats a double dose of stupid. Next time try using your brain. There are these people, these people know how to fix cars. These people are called mechanics. You can take your car to a mechanic and they will tell you what is wrong with the car for a small fee. That fee is far FAR cheaper AND easier than the parts cannon. You can then replace the oart yourself or just have the mechanic do it for you.

Oil mix with water in the radiator,a white jelly substance is evident
Qwerty7756 from United States 22 days ago
Was there any ticking sounds before it stopped? Sounds like something got stuck in your oil pickup tube and starved the engine of oil causing it to seize. There are plastic parts in most emgines that eventually disintegrate and can do this if you don’t keep current with the maintenance schedule especially the major milestone services

Sounds when I accelerate

2023 Hyundai Accent transmission 10376 miles
When I accelerate the vehicle I hear a sound like something vibrating, it coincides with the changes in the pickups per minute, I have an automatic transmission, I think it could be something in the transmission but I'm not sure.

How fast are you traveling when you experience this vibration? Is it all the time at any speed or is it only when on the highway? If it is only on the highway it is an unbalanced tire.

Burnt but not blown 125A fuse

2011 Hyundai Accent Hatchback 500000 miles
Long story short, my car needed a jump and the person who did it had the red on blk and the blk on red. When I tried to start the car I heard a pop and smoke came from the radio console. Didn’t say anything to the person. I looked at the 125A fuse was blown, I replaced the fuse & alternator (forgot why I did the alternator) & even the battery since it was 5 years old. Car ran fine for 2 weeks then one day mid-drive my radio was turning on/off sporadically; then when I used the turn signals they began to click rapidly. After a few mins the car turned off completely and wouldn’t start… Read complete

Ok, let’s walk thru this together. Someone hooked up the cables backwards which would blow the main fuse. Fuse changed, alternator replaced... Problems begin... did you catch that? The problems started when you changed the alternator. It was either something you did or didn’t do or a bad part. The problems you described were definitely electrical problems but not necessarily with the rest of the car. You have to use your head. The car is fine, then you touch it and now it has a problem... you touching it created the problem.
