My transmission appears to be slipping. Really scared to drive it far but can't afford to replace the transmission.

Every time I stop and start to go again in first and second gear it feels like my car is slipping and not wanting to catch the gear seems to me like it's going to stall in the middle of the road one day

The car slips out of gear with changing the shifter from park to reverse. The selector will be in reverse and as the car is moving it slips out and goes neutral

Transmission is not going into gear, the shift gear is slipping and the what the display shows as the gear is not the actual gear the car is in or the gear display is blank and the car does not go into gear.

Start the car and gear appears on the shifter and the dash. While reversing from parking space, gear either slips or lurches, then gear indicator in the shifter disappears, as well as gear indicator on the dash. The car is hesitant to accelerate, as if it is in neutral. Shutting off the car and restarting, everything returns to normal. This happens intermittently, and has occurred four times in the past week. Attached picture of dash indicator and gear shifter shows that the car is traveling at approximately 18 MPH, but gear is not indicated on the dash or gear shifter.

I have several complaints regarding this vehicle. I have had this car two years and about two months and have had nothing but problems (purchased brand new) -- I've had to get a new motor (engine caught on fire (electrical/smoking) while driving down the beltway), replaced tire rod, need 4 brand new tires, transmission slipping, and other electrical problems with cooling/heating system (the blower does not work for air pointed in the floor direction), strong smell of gas fumes inside of the vehicle. The gas mileage gauge is inaccurate -- I get no where near the highway nor city miles. The gas meter is not registering. Parts on the electrical system have been randomly replaced. I have had all schedule services on my vehicle as well as extras such as special replacement filters, etc. I have also had problems with the breaking system. I believe I've purchased a complete lemon. The current mileage on the vehicle is 27700 miles. There is no way I should be having this many problems as frequently as I have been having. The car's steering pulls to the left as well. I should not have to replace tires only after two years of driving after putting nitrogen as advised. I've noticed a noise when turning the steering to the left as well as if the left tire rod or axle wants to break -- weird feeling turn the car. The alarm system is failing to lock all of the doors -- only the drivers door. -- dealers solution...purchase a new one ??? Really?

Purchased brand new on june 18, 2010 for my wife... Hyundai sonata gs. Shortly after purchasing the vehicle, we began experiencing problems with the car jerking/bucking/slipping in all gears at all speeds (random occurrence) even when the vehicle is traveling at a steady speed while using cruise control. The vehicle has been taken to the dealership here in douglasville, ga six times for repair which has included replacement of the transmission, reprogramming of the PCM, and replacement of the TCM. None of these attempts at repair have fixed the issue. My wife is the primary driver of this vehicle and has come extremely close to being involved in crashes as a result of this problem as the car hesitates/stalls for several seconds after these incidents occur. It has happened several times as she has attempted to merge onto the expressway's here in metro atlanta (#2 in the nation for traffic). Please the federal safety agency... There is something seriously wrong with the powertrain in these vehicles and hyundai needs to figure out what it is and get it fixed!
