My Hyundai is experiencing transmission problems. When I come to a stop the car buckles and it doesn't seem to shift right on the highway. It has 75,000 miles. THe transmission fluid was never changed , however , i also kept an eye on it . It is full and never short. My dealer is telling me that i am responsible for any repairs for the transmission work since i did not have the fluid changed at 15,000 and 30,000 miles.Hyundai has 100,000 warranty on its warranty. My mechancic has told me that once you start changing your transmission fluid you begin to have transmission problems. I need some guidance in dealing with the car dealer. This is the first problem I had with the car. Can the dealer hold me responsible for not changing the fluid? Are Hyundai Accents known to have a poor track as it pertains to transmission problems? Thank you so much for your help!

Check your mannual, The owners guide for my 2002 accent states that the transmission fluid is not required to be changed until 100k. It also states this online. If your mannual states this, show it to the dealer. if they still say no call another dealer and the hyundai company. But they will want to make sure that you go tthe 60 k required maintence done,

Take it a step further. Ask the dealer to show you where an official Hyundai Motor America document (not the dealer's) says that you need to change your transmission fluid every 30,000 miles.
I think it's a good idea to change your ATF every 30k whether recommended by the manufacturer or not. But that doesn't mean it's required if they don't put it in the maintenance schedule in the owner's manual. Some mechanics advise not changing the fluid if you have many miles on your vehicle without changing the fluid, but changing the fluid regularly every 30k miles will not have an adverse effect on the transmission.
I've not known the transmission in the 2000 Accent to be particularly troublesome. I've replaced some, but not a disproportionate number.
