Hi, I just bought Hyundai sonata 2008. It has 4000 miles on it. While shifting from 1 to 2, I hear a weird noise. It doesn't happen every single time. It only happen while driving first time in a day or driving after couple of hours. Once in motion, I don't hear that noise. I don't know if it is common with the sonata since it has a stubborn transmission. Is this happens to anyone? Is this something to worry about? Thanks.

Has been a TSB for the 2,4 A/T: http://www.hyundai-forums.com/index.php?showtopic=27093 But please send them a letter of complain - maybe - even though i seriously doubt - they wil take attention... |

Replying to: superjesr (Nov 02, 2007 7:34 am) BTW, how was the job done? Unless they used a pressure flush system, more than half of the ATF fluid does NOT get replaced. (I'm not a fan of the pressure flush systems, which attempt to flush the fluid out of the torque converter) So you have a 50%-50% mixture of old Hyundai fluid and new Valvoline fluid, which is pretty scary. Good luck. |

Bought my Sonata new in 2001, has had a couple of no charge factory recalls. Here in Florida batteries only last about 12-24 months until I went with the Sears Diehard Gold. It's been a great car for 7+ years, but now it's starting to shift funny. We were in Orlando (from Tampa) and as we made a U-Turn and I stepped on the gas the car revved high then the transmission made a car jarring clang/bang and the car started to move again. The "Check Engine (CE)" light came on so we went back to our hotel. All other functions seemed normal, so I let it set overnight. The next day the car seemed to be fine still, and the "CE" light went out. Everything was fine on Saturday and Sunday until we left Universal to head back to Tampa, and the "CE" light came on again and the car seemed not to be shifting properly especially taking off from a stop & at highway speeds to top gear didn't seem to kick-in. I've done some research and I know the "Shift-Tronic" type transmission is supposed to self-adjust to the way the car is driven and I don't always drive it smoothly. I remember the dealer service dept. telling once when I had my car in for regular service, that they were having trouble updating the CPU software and I don't think they ever got it reinstalled correctly (of course they'll never admit it). I also put and OBD2 box on it myself at one point and the code came up as "unknown", I put the OBD2 box on my spouses Honda CR-V and it worked fine, so I'm fairly sure the OBD2 was ok. My local dealer service dept is a bunch of jerk weeds so I've been having my car serviced by a local service garage whom I trust, but I'm going to try the dealer today for this problem. So we'll see... |
