#11 of 3025 Shift RPM problem by rhard49 Oct 04, 2001 (10:34 pm)
I have to say this they're consistant. My 2002 LX has the same 2-3 shift slippage when cold the tach jumps about 500-1000 rpms and the shift happens and it goes away when hot. I just took it back and was told it was normal! So we walked around to the front and took a brand new one cold out for a drive, Hmmm not normal on that one. Three weeks old and waiting for a meeting with the regional guy. It is tempting to hit it cold on that 2-3 shift and let the clutchs chew it up, It may be easier then fighting with them. And god I wish they'd train there people on what the heck and adaptive transmission is and explain what a microcontroller is. I heard way to many problems being blamed on adaptive during my recent visit.

I just purchased a new Sonata 2002 LX and I also noticed a shift slippage. I plan on mentioning it to the service department when I bring it in for a free carwash. Has anyone had any luck with a resolution? Replies to this message: nkjp (Feb 28, 2005 3:31 pm)

No tranny problem here, I have the 2.7L V6 if it matters to you all. Only thing I notice is that it tends to drop out of 1st too early for my taste. Might be something the computer will pick up on over time. Drove over 1000km this weekend with my only complaint being the silly cup holders...Sheesh...who designed that!?   Ian..

No luck with a resolution yet the dealer called it normal, yeah right! so we went and test drove a new one and it did not slip. I'm waiting for the dealer to contact the regional guy now been 4 days so far no answer. All they could say is there pretty busy. Meantime I keep my log & save my reciepts like the lemon law requires. Fix it or take it back!

Thanks for the update rhard49. I mentioned the slippage to the service manager and he said to bring it in. I plan on leaving it overnight so they can test drive it when it's cold. Due to a lot of things going on it will be about a week or two till I can bring it in. I'll let you know what they come up with.

Not sure what part of the U.S. your from but we had a couple of cold mornings this week 30 ish I expected the problem to be worse, but on the colder mornings the problem wasn't there. It came back intermittantly during the colder day on short drives but was less pronounced normally it disapears when the car warms up and the 1-2 shift becomes more labored.

#18 of 3025 Strange Smell by blakejo Oct 23, 2001 (11:33 am)
I have just ordered a 2002 sonata LX and Have noticed a strange smell once inside the car. I be leave the smell comes from the leather, I also have noticed the same smell inside the Santa Fe. Both cars had beige leather. I ask the dealer and he did admit to smelling the strange smell. Has anyone else found this problem and if so how did you correct it?

Maybe it's just the combo of new car odour with new leather odour. Is this your first car with leather? Ours has that combo smell, but that's normal. Some people like it some (like our neighbour) hate it.
#20 of 3025 Brakes squeak! by tb88 Nov 16, 2001 (7:30 pm)
I hear a squeaking/ grinding noise coming from my back wheels when I first apply the brakes. The noise subsides as I brake a few times at normal speed (40/50mph). Is this a brake pad problem and can it be fixed? Sonata has around 7500 miles but this noise was there from the beginning and louder when the car is still cold. .
