Default prob with my friend's hyundai

my friend is the owner of the shittiest car ever put into production, a hyundai accent. Its a 2001 with an automatic transmission. Im just trying to get a diagnosis for the problem. If any sponsers can chime in that will be extrmeley helpful. These are the problems:

Problem 1: Upon shifting the car out of park and into reverse or drive, the car jerks violently. if you let your foot off the brake, the car will not move, you must add gas for it to move.

Problem 2: transmission slips going into higher gears. it catches eventually, but it takes a while

Your friend needs to take it to a professional and have it repaired.

Or, better yet. Get a better car.

Problem 3: my friend is a lazy idiot, his car has been sitting for over 3 months almost un-driveable. how to i make him get off his lazy ***, bring it to a repair shop and get it fixed?
HYUNDAI is and intersting transmission made by mitubiche . I have built more than a few. But from the sounds of it your freind is going to have to get it to someone to look at. They are notorious for electronics issues. The bad part is the resale value is so bad on them, But sounds like its in some version of limp mode and you need to have him get it scanned

LOL they came along way.... I had the first Hyundai made, the Excel. Locked the motor up on the highway. The blowby was so bad I rigged the pvc to blow the oil into the wiper fluid reserve and pumped it back into the motor with the washer fluid pump. ROFL it was my first car and didnt have the money to get a new one.
