Replying to: ronylala (Sep 07, 2008 9:50 am) Here is an article that describes the operation of the lockup torque converter, in general. Note this particular phrase: If you have a tachometer you will see the RPM's drop a few hundred when it engages. http://ezinearticles.com/?Torque-Converter-Lockup&id=113485 Hope this helps.

Replying to: backy (Sep 07, 2008 10:10 am) This is Funny, i think Hyundai should pay you for the public relation that you are doing for them...or they already paying you? if it was not a problem no one was keeping my car at the shop for so long and trying to fix it.(ohhh and not only my car, i know more then 2) if it was not a problem the tech would not have on the website answers how to fix it (by installing the program). dont you think at the first time that i went to the Shop they needed to say "what you are feeling is the torque converter going into lockup mode" and send me home?

Replying to: ronylala (Sep 07, 2008 10:51 am)  For example, here's a TSB for the 2008 Sonata's automatic transmission that requires an ECM/TCM update, i.e. reprogramming: http://www.edmunds.com/maintenance/recalltsb.do?step=tsb&year=2008&make=Hyundai&- - model=Sonata&style=GLS+4dr+Sedan+(2.4L+4cyl+5M)#2 Perhaps you could ask the dealer if this TSB applies to your Sonata. Notice I found the info on a web site--maybe like the service tech did! What I think is funny is that you continue to hold onto this ridiculous story about your car having a 5-speed automatic in it when no 2008 Sonata 4-cylinder sold in the U.S. came so equipped. |

Replying to: ronylala (Sep 07, 2008 1:13 pm) Good luck with your one-of-a-kind 2008 Sonata I4 with the 5-speed automatic. Maybe you should try selling it on eBay--there might be a demand for a rare car like that. Some people will collect just about anything.

| i have a 2009 hyundai sonata and 900 miles on it. the car jerks into gear. very unpleasant. the tech says it needs to get used to my driving and should straighten out. has anyone else had this problem? this doesnt seem right to me that a vehicle needs to "learn" your driving habits before it shifts correctly | |
