Problem overview

Some Hyundai Accent owners report experiencing jerking issues during acceleration, which may be attributed to several potential transmission problems. These include transmission slipping, where the transmission fails to engage properly, causing delays in acceleration or sudden power loss. Additionally, some owners have reported issues with a failed torque converter, leading to reduced acceleration and difficulties in shifting gears. Low transmission fluid levels can also contribute to inadequate lubrication, resulting in jerking during acceleration. Furthermore, worn-out clutch systems and gears may cause disruptions in smooth acceleration. It is crucial for owners to address these transmission issues promptly to maintain vehicle performance and safety, and they are advised to have their transmission system inspected by a qualified mechanic to prevent further damage.
