Hello
The Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.

My question is I have a Hyundai 2006 while im driving the car go to D and D1D2D3.when is in D1 it dnt wanna drive fast .I wanna know what cause dats my first car and I love the car .please help me

All transmissions start in a low gear that is not meant for speed. When it is in D1, the transmission stays in 1st gear and wont move to a higher gear by itself. When you select D2 it starts in 1 and moves to 2 and then wont move any higher.

Speed odometer won't work and transmission won't change gears

You probably have a check engine light staying on too. My first guess would be the speed sensor on the transmission but I would check for trouble codes first.

My automatic vehicle wont change gears

Sounds like the transmission is in fail safe mode. This occurs when there is a problem in your transmission. You will have to get the vehicle scanned for trouble codes.
