I have a 2000 hyundai sonata. I have had problems ...
Sent to Car Experts March 07 11:38 AM

I have a 2000 hyundai sonata. I have had problems with the check engine light and when hooked up to the code reader four codes come up all oxygen sensors. There was a recall and I took it to the dealer. They insisted the recall was with the computer not reading the sensors right and reset the computer not touching the sensors. The car ran okay for a while and then as I was driving down the highway I felt a jerk and the RPM's went up and I lost power as though it were the transmission. The code reder is reading no codes for the transmission. Yesterday while driving 25 miles per hour the car felt as though it shifted into neutral and I lost power. I stoped the car and turned it off and then it was fine the rest of the way home. What do you think. Transmission? Computer? or oxygen sensors?

First, if there was a problem with the computer not reading the sensors right, I would think the computer would have to be replaced, not cleared. Usually multiple 02 sensor codes is a sign of a vaccuum leak. Second, it sounds as if your transmission is slipping. Have you checked the fluid or had it serviced lateley ?
