Problem overview

Some Hyundai Accent owners report experiencing transmission issues following repairs such as water pump replacement and oil seal changes. These problems may stem from low transmission fluid levels or using the incorrect fluid type, which can lead to further complications. Additionally, some owners have encountered torque converter issues, including faulty seals that cause fluid leaks, adversely affecting vehicle performance. Symptoms reported include difficulty shifting gears and delayed shifting, which may indicate worn transmission components. Repair costs for transmission problems can vary significantly, with estimates ranging from $1,500 to over $5,000 depending on the severity of the issue. Therefore, many owners recommend having their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to accurately diagnose and address any transmission concerns.
