Problemas con el power train. History = en el primer ao se dao cd player lo cambiaron pero empece a tener dificultades con el horn por un mal entendido cambiaron el clock, hasta la fecha nunca me arreglaron el horn el cual deja y empieza a funcionar en cualquier momento. El vehiculo en veces prendia la luz del "check" pero por unas horas o un dia el dealer nunca encontro nada en veces tambien se daba como jalones como que se queria parar, se llego a para 3 veces, los del dealer nunca encontraron nada siempre la lleve ahi para mantenimiento y cambio de aceite, ellos cobran demasiado por los servicios, ya cambie headlights 2 veces y otras lucesitas del frente, se cambio serpentine belt,bateria , llantas, parabrisas, frenos; en los ultimos 9 meses cambie a otro lugar para cambio y chequeo de fluidos. El 12/17/09 7am, prendio a la 3rd vez que trate fui y vine al trabajo y casa sin problemas, por la tarde sali a los 15 minutos se empezo a jalonear y cada ves que bajaba la velocidad se queria apagar el motor lo cual sucedio al hacer algun stop, pero la prendia de nuevo sin ningun problema al regreso a casa volvio a pararse varias veces, ademas se prendio la luz de "check" y a los 5 minutos se prendio otra que por el seor que levanto el vehiculo se que indicaba problemas en el "power train" y menciono tambien el 4x4. Total que al prender esa luz ya no quiso levantar la marcha nomas como a 1 milla por hora y eso jalonendose mucho, bueno por una u otra razon yo hable hasta el 12/29/09 para que la levantaran y hasta hoy se me comunico que tenia un sensor daado algo asi como "throtle position censor" por lo cual me quieren cobrar 455.00 + taxes. Yo no tenia idea de este sitio, y creo que tenia derecho de que se me comunicara en el dealer acerca de todos los recalls para este tipo de vehiculo, estoy insatisfecha con el vehiculo y por los altos costos de mantenimiento que he tenido que pagar de algo que ya sabian que existia. Necesito ayuda urgene, please. *tr received complaint written in english.

The problem was discovered after a stop for fuel during a highway trip. There was no indication of trouble before we stopped for fuel. When we attempted to return to the road we found that the transmission would not engage in either a forward or reverse gear. After checking atm fluid and finding it correct we tried again and found same problem. We finally found that if we increased enginer RPM to approximage 3000 RPM the transmission would begin to engage in third gear with some slippage. The slippage continued until we reached the approximate speed for normal third gear. At normal highway speed the car operated normally but would never shift into 4th gear. We wre able to get home and to the dealer. They told us the transmission had failed and would need to be replaced. One week later after installation of the transmission we were told they did not like the sound of the power steering and would replace that component as well. Another week later we got our vehicle back. The dealer claimed they had not seen this problem nor had they been notified of this problem by other dealers. This occurred at 9500 miles.

I was driving down the highway at 60mph when the vehicle made a loud sound a roughly jerked forward and continued to do so as the car gradually downshifted. The car was found to have a defected transmission control module and they needed to replace the transmission due to this. This vehicle only had approx 5900 miles on it at this time. Recieved the vehile 9 days later and had the car for 1 day when it continued to have more problems related to the transmission. In addition to this problem, the first few days of owning this vehicle I had to stop the vehicle abruptly and the car accelerated instead. I have read that others have experienced something similiar to this in the hyundai sante fe
