Replying to: rkatherine (Aug 11, 2008 8:37 am) If you cannot move the shift lever from the "P" (Park) position to any other position with the brake pedal fully depressed and the ignition key in the "ON" position, remove the cap on the console and with a thin object such as a flat-head screwdriver, push the shift lock release button down. Then, with the brake pedal depressed, move the shift lever to the desired position, and then the shift lock release button will automatically return to its original position after shifting from the "P" (Park) position. Then, reinstall the cap. If you need to use the shift lock release, it could mean your car is developing a problem. Have the car checked by your Hyundai dealer. Check to see if the cap is still in place on the shift lock cover. It should be right above the P indicator on the shift console. It is possible your son stuck something in there or maybe the shift lock was broken or damaged when he pulled on it.

Replying to: tenpin288 (Aug 11, 2008 2:39 pm) It was not disclosed whether the vehicle moved in a straight line backwards as that would determine if the child was able to move the steering wheel, or just tried to. Moving a steering wheel without the power steering on is very difficult to do, anyway. The dealer inspection may throw some light on it. But I bet from now on the parking brake will be applied every time the car is parked so close to a steep driveway.

Replying to: jcwsbltd (Aug 12, 2008 8:07 am) My son did move the wheel and did turn the car (which was a good thing in this situation, putting him in the path of least possible harm). I don't know how difficult it was for him to do so, I just know that he did. I was told to have it checked out and will definetly do so ASAP. Neither my husband or myself can get it to move to neutral ourselves. I thought it might be that I parked it and left it in neutral, but the key would not release if I did that. Also thought possible that it was not fully in Park, but then it would have to slip down two slots to neutral. I wish I had answers, especially since I don't want this to every occur again. I do thank you for your replies.

My 2003 Santa Fe (automatic 7.6 V6) with 42,500 miles, that was having the slippage problems, turned out to be the transmission. Glad we had the extended coverage, as they first replaced a computer which governs the auto transmission. This did not correct the problem, so the company replaced the transmission. My out of pocket was $100. The car is working just fine now! It would have been a different story if I hadn't purchased the extended warranty on this used car though. We still enjoy the car, and wow, the new 2008 model has everything I would have changed on the 2003 model. Nice changes and then some! I'm checking into selling this one and maybe leasing a new 2008 model. I would think a used car with a "new" computer and transmission would be a selling plus! Bob |

I bought my 2008 Santa Fe in the middle on this May. Now it has 1650miles. It was great until yesterday (September 20). When I started, turned the transmission to “D”, pressed the gas pedal. Then I can feel the car was shaking. Apparently the transmission was working not smoothly. It used to work very smoothly until yesterday. After the first incident, I tried the “R” and it also had the same problem. The problem usually happens when I start the car and sometimes at the stop sign after a full stop. Then I try something in the uphill (but it has a very small grade): drive to a position in the uphill, stop and park it. Then switch to “D” again, the car CANNOT stop and start retrogress  . At this time, I push the gas pedal harder, then the car begins move forward with shaking. I am thinking it is the transmission problem, but not sure if it is the same as what is being discussed here. This is a brand new car and I did not drive it a lot. I do not do oil change or any maintenance yet. Thank you very much for your input!

Replying to: shmshen (Sep 21, 2008 4:23 pm) No codes in system - internal mechanical concern - low pressure at idle possible pump failure in trans. But they refused to work on it and advice me to bring it to the dealer where I purchased it. So I drove to the dealer where I bought and still waiting for their test. That is bad, it only has 1600 miles.
