ON 09/04/07 I BOUGHT A USED 2002 HYUNDAI SONATA AND ON 09/05/07 THE CAR LOST 1ST AND 4TH GEAR IT SEEMED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WERE GOING OUT , BUT WHEN I STARTED REVIEWING OTHER CONSUMER RELATED ISSUES I NOTICED OVER 900 CONSUMERS HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR HYUNDAI'S , BUT THE CAUSE ENDED UP BEING THE OUTPUT SPEED SENSOR. WHICH IN SOME CASES TOOK CONSUMERS UP TO 6 MONTHS TO LOCATE ONE. UNFORTUNATELY I FINANCED THE CAR AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY. *JB

WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE UNCONTROLLABLY. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND PULLED OVER. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ACCELERATOR CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK
