Filed Feb 12, 2023 · Engine · CA

10 am Sunday morning going to church I am about 2 miles away from home I started hearing trickled sound at front before entering the freeway. Then about 5 miles before my exit the noise start to get louder and I decided to go 25 mph after I exited the freeway. I stopped at AutoZone parking lot to check and didn't find anything unusual.No engine lights or anything on the dashboard. After 2 hours parked at AutoZone I drove it home at slow speed and decided not to use the freeway so I can keep moving 25 mph max. It's a scary situation and good thing is I'm the driving not my wife. It has closed to 130,000 miles.

The check engine light came on. We had someone get the code which is p0711. Why is there not a recall for the transmission temp sensor if this problem continues to happen to many many people. This is going to cost me $500-1000. This should be hyundai's bill to pay.

When the vehicle is in motion, the car when moving at a slow speed, like take off at a signal light, the car will shut down. While in motion the car will make loud noise when taking off slow. The sir bag light is on but dealer states nothing is wrong with the car. Engine light is not on. This has been happening for about a month. No one can seem to tell me what is the problem is or how to repair it. I checked google for the problem and many hyundai elantra owners are having the same issues. I feel like I was ripped off and hyundai isn't doing anything about it. Please help

While I was driving, the car stalled. The tach reading droped to zero, and engine light was on. I tried restarting my car. I could drive slowly, but the engine light was still on, and the tach reading was still zero. This happened for a few times --- when I drove on highway, on a local street, and when I waited for a long light. If starting after a long enough rest, those symptoms might disappear temporarily.
