#134 of 600 Help by timor
Nov 23, 2008 (9:08 am)
Just bought a second hand vehicle (Hyundai Santa Fe 2004) last week whilst working here in East Timor. The problem I am facing is that the automatic transmission of the vehicle is constantly on the 3 gear when I start the vehicle and when it runs. The gear never changes, and when I change into reverse it shakes violently. I need advice on what I should do in trying to fix the problem; as it seems that all the workshops here do not know what is wrong with the vehicle and cannot help me identify the problem.

Hi, any update on your Santa Fe? I have a '08 Limited with 3800 miles and just started experiencing the same problem. My wife is freaked out b/c it's our first (and probably only) Hyundai. Can they really fix the car by replacing the transmission? Thanks.

After the dealer replace a refurbished transmission, that problem is fixed. However, I noticed that the MPG is lower than before.

It's official. My brand new '08 Santa Fe with 3,800 miles is getting a new transmission. Not happy...

Is Hyundai paying for it or does that come out of your own pocket? tidester, host

Well... at least they are replacing it, instead of arguing with you or calling it "normal" (which is what some carmakers might try). I have a friend who is a lemon law attorney, and has plenty of these stories. Did they hassle you much before offering the new transmission?

Hyundai is paying for it and they give us a new Sonata as a loaner while the Santa Fe is in the shop. They didn't give us any "hassle" at the dealer and handle it in a very "matter of fact" way but it doesn't make me feel any better about the experience.

it doesn't make me feel any better about the experience. I can understand that but I know I'd feel a LOT better about not having to pay for it myself.
