my accent has 145k km on it. two days ago it stopped shifting into reverse. i can still drive it but it shifts late and hard from 1st into 2nd and when it reaches 4th gear it stays there and won't down shift. I took it into the dealership and they told me i had a 4 gear ratio problem and that i need a new transmission. just wondering if you have seen this before and if it may be something fixable. just don't want to be ripped off by a dealership
Usually transmissions are not fixable. If you're on the original transmission with 145k miles then it's probably had it's life. You could keep driving it like that but it's gonna die soon. I suggest replacing it or buying a new car, whichever is cheaper. A new transmission will cost a couple thousand depending on the year of the car.
My brother has the same problem with his and its at the transmission shop right now having tests done...it could be a sensor issue...the electrical system is sending wrong message to transmission...that's what mechanic said anyway, but wouldnt know for sure until he did troubleshooting tomorrow....

I live in Stockholm, Sweden. My used 2001 Hyundai Atos (i10) GLS 4 door hatchback won't start/turn over. ABS, brake, check engine, oil and battery lights all go on when the key is turned to on position. Just bought this car used 2 weeks ago. Service record and papers were all in order, test drove it, no rust in any places and then took it home. It had been working fine. Then noticed the automatic shifter was hard to put into gear, but not impossible. Today I started the car after two tries moved it 10 feet, stopped to load the car and then when I tried to start it again, all the above warning lights went on and the car would not start. I hope someone knows what's possibly happened to my car. Thanks, Charles

I have a 2001 Accent that has injector #2 misfiring. Does this mean that I have to have the injector replaced, or will injector cleaner possible fix the issue? The car sat for 4 months and I've already replaced the mass flow air sensor, TP sensor and I was told the knock sensor needed to be replaced however, I don't have any engine lights on at all. So I don't know if this just the mechanic trying to get more money from me or a real issue. The engine once started shakes in sequence. It's fine for about 30 seconds then shakes, then fine again for 30 and then shakes again. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
