I have a 2005 Accent Automatic 2D, and recently I had an issue that I thought I'd post on here, maybe to pre-warn others:
I noticed on a few occasions, I would have trouble shifting from park to any other gear. One morning, I was really having trouble shifting; it seemed like it was stuck. I finally was able to get it to budge, and drove off to IKEA with a friend of mine. Once we got out of IKEA, I was able to start my car, but was NOT able to shift at all. After calling a mechanic friend of mine, I was able to discover I had no brake lights at all. If your brake lights malfuction, it can be one of two things: a faulty fuse, or a faulty brake line switch. I was able to manually override the control to allow me to take my car out of park, and take it to a nearby Hyundai dealership. They were able to see that the pin for the switch was stuck. Problem was, since this is becoming a problem, the dealership was out of the part, and ended up going to TWO other dealerships in Houston to get a new part, each time having to manually override the switch in order to get it out of park. Within a week, my friend Jon had the same exact problem with his 2002 Accent. The part was $15.
