If the automatic transmission does not shift properly and the Check Engine Light illuminates, the speed sensors in the transmission may have failed. The sensors are simple and inexpensive to replace.

    I have had my 2 different sensors replaced. one was a thrust sensor ? the other accelerator sensor? now my check engine light will come on when i accelerate and the car jumps, bucks, and it stays stuck in one of the gears and when i step on the gas it does not accelerate. then with in two minutes it shuts off. I have brought the car to hyundai numerous times and they say they can not find anything wrong but the last time they said i needed new spark plugs and spark wires. and it would only cost 642.00 wtf my car does not have that many miles and who the heck has that type of money nowadays. i have an extended warrenty that runs out next mth. please some one help???? i dont feel safe in my car with my 3 kids.
