2013 Hyundai Santa Fe: transmission slipping

Filed Mar 25, 2024 · CO

Hyundai announced recall over 6 months ago and there is still no remedy. Manufacturer Recall Number 251 the federal safety agency Recall Number 23V651000 They advise to park outside. I've been parking outside for these 6 months, while I have a perfectly good garage available. Since I've been parking outside, I've been concerned over a number of issues: safety walking outside at night, possible theft, slipping on ice/snow (which I've done a couple of times). My windshield also got cracked. While I can't prove that happened while parked outside, I think that it was. This vehicle has had many recalls before, but nothing that ever took this long. Is there any way to push this along?

When I engaged the Cruise Control it caused the vehicle RPM's to quickly jump from about 3 up to over 5 RPM's and the gear would slip not accelerating but slowed down in traffic.

Feels like the acceleration slips & can quit supplying gas to engine for few seconds, engine is knocking, and turbo revs but doesn't engage. Car can lose power at full speed randomly. Brought to mechanic and they read knock sensor issue, ect needs reprogramming, & add'l issues so recommended I take it to the dealership since it may fall under an extended warranty. No recalls on VIN. Next morning mechanic saw flashing engine light. I had it towed to dealership. They told me it needed a cpu update / reset & battery (which was recently tested at mechanics to show good). I picked it up & it was still in the bay. I drove it about a quarter of a mile & heard rattling. Roads aren't great in the area so thought I should get it on the main road. Immediate had slipping when accelerating onto the highway. Drove about half a mile & immediately knew the engine was in distress so turned around. Got back to dealership, turned it off. Staff got in the car at my request of a test drive & check engine light came on flashing. No report since.

Transmission failure with no warning. No previous issues. Going up hill at 40mph transmission slipped and jammed into gear so hard it felt like I was rear ended. I had it towed to a garage. Transmission needs replaced.

When taking off from stop or traffic signal, making left turn, vehicle rear end ( sounds like rear end or awd) makes thumping, slipping, bumping noise which can be felt through out vehicle. First noticed about 3000 miles. Thought it may be a normal condition for an awd vehicle, but the condition has progressively gotten worse! Taken to dealer 2 time now, they state they can not find any problem, they replaced the trans fluid, the rear diff fluid, but it is still getting worse! Service manager went for ride with me after stating he could not feel the condition on vehicle, but he only drove vehicle in parking lot of dealership. I told him it happens when turning at lights or stop signs...he was driving straight. On our test drive together, he definitely felt what I was talking about, asked his shop foreman to get in vehicle with us, he felt the condition as well, but said he did not know what it could be. They kept vehicle for 2 days, replaced transmission fluid, read differential fluid and a few other items, gave vehicle back, and asked me to see if doing this helped rectify the problem.....it has not, contacted hyundai, got a claim #, and was told to take vehicle to another dealership to have them look at vehicle.... Vehicle currently has 9000 miles and just turned 1 year old since new. We bought this santa fe to replace a 2008 that had similar trans/awd issues, that left us stranded 3 times on the side of I-95 (trans & awd blew up on us driving to florida keys on I-95 at 70 MPH) in fall of 2012.....after dealer in jacksonville attempted repairs from first breakdown. Unfortunately, florida does not sell awd vehicles, and apparently they do not know how to fix these things.
