problem #1

Mar 122006

Elantra 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 26,000 miles
Car accelerated beyond control to ~90 mph before steering lock and car went into jersey barriers. According to tsb from Hyundai this is an electrical component know issue call a tps(throttle position sensor) for 2001 Hyundai Elantra's with a "1" in the 10th position of the VIN number. The tsb number is 01-36-027. Before we contact Hyundai, I wanted to see if this was on recall or safety check and I was not able to find any info.
