#11 of 29 Blinking R in the transmission display on dashboard by herbbb

Jun 05, 2008 (9:40 am)

I recently had to have a perforated gas tank replaced.Some road trash hit while on the interstate.After being towed in none of the dealers had one in stock and had to be shipped from Atlanta.Since we were on the road from Fl to Pa. we had to hole up for four days in a motel.Any way after we got the car back some gasket wasn't put in and it had to be towed back.More delay.Finally when we got going for the second time we noticed that every time we go into reverse the R on the indicator on the dashboard flashes.It never did before.We've been told this is the way its supposed to be.This is a 2007 Hyundai Entourage.

Never seen a blinking R. Don't think it is normal or "the way its supposed to be". Kinda cool, though.

Hello, mine does the same thing. I think it is a warning so you aren't thinking you're driving forward when you're actually in Reverse.

If it blinked from day one I'D say it was a nice feature.It only started after I had my gas tank replaced.No one at two hyundai dealers could figure it out.Had no previous reports on it.

I have had my van since Aug.2006. I started hearing squeaking noises from from my right front wheel well in Dec. 06. I took it in to have it checked out Jan.07. They said that they could not duplicate the problem???? I have had my car in in more than 10 different ocassions 2 different dealers and no one can find the problem. Just wanted to know if anyone else had the same or similar problem?

Have over 17,000 mi on my 07 Entourage with no similar problem.Only problem I've had is the reverse indicator on the dash flashes when I go into reverse.Dealers have no idea why it does?

I think that is normal for the reverse indicator our does that to and I have never thought twice about it. I think its just an extra alert to let you know it's in reverse.

Just wondering if there are any updates on this issue. Our 2007 Entourage has been doing this off and on for the past 20k miles or so. Around 50k we started noticing this happening after long drives. When we would get off the highway and accelerate again it will jerk from 3-4 and sound like it is missing gears. The dealer had reset the adaptive transmission for this around 50k, but now around 70k its doing this again and they want to charge us for diagnostics even though we are under the 100k powertrain. If anyone else has seen this issue before PLEASE let us know. The dealer and hyundai "customer service" is giving us a hard time because we cannot duplicate this on their 5 minute test drive.

Got the same response (can't duplicate) form a Hynundai service center. So, nothing was done, and we still experience the issue. Sometime we would switch to manual mode and shift a bit early just to avoid the jerk. Maybe next time we'll have some sort of a recording device (a camera and a glass of water) to record the problem.
