Replying to: hoo320 (Dec 13, 2008 6:05 pm) Well I had a rumble too...only on downshifting from 2nd to 1st gear. It almost felt like I had run over something the first time it happened. I began to pay close attention after that and the problem seemed to come and go depending on how quickly I had to brake for a stop light for example. My Veracurae only had a few thousand miles on it when this happened.   I tried this old trick thinking a small flek of metal from casting or milling parts of the transmission had become logged in a valve or spring inside the transmission. I manually put the transmission in 1st gear and then ran up the road to about 4000 rpm, then manually shifting to second and holding that to 4000 rpm again. The idea is to flush the passages in the valve body under high fluid pressure.   Bottom line....my problem vanished and it has been several months, apparently there was some trash in the valve body. I have no clue if this "easy fix" would help you but you might try it, can't hurt. Ken Replies to this message: oscar_gata (Dec 15, 2008 9:21 am) hoo320 (Dec 15, 2008 11:25 am)

Replying to: bbmax_00 (Dec 15, 2008 2:40 am) Years ago I had a manual transmission Hyundai Tiburon that had a somewhat similar problem. I stopped at a stoplight and shifted into neutral. When the light turned green, I tried and tried to shift back into first, but I could not get it to shift. After having it towed to a dealership, it turns out the some fleck had blocked a passage way in the transmission and that if I had pumped the clutch enough times I could have driven it away. It still would have needed to have its transmission flushed out or whatever, but at least I wouldn't have been stranded.   In any event bbmax_00, I would still have your transmission looked at if you haven't already. One thing about the Veracruz - I thought it had a sealed transmission. I know that sealed doesn't always mean sealed sealed, but how is your dealer going to flush out your system if its sealed?

Replying to: oscar_gata (Dec 15, 2008 9:21 am) thanks for coming. I only have 4k miles on it. The dealer did some thing on it with a code name Ti-48. I do not know what they did. I will ask them whether they can flush the transimission.   The rumbling only happens at the low RPM in a gear. If I step on gas and make the RPM go up, the rumble goes away.

If the transmission oil is low or dirty, could it be the reason?

Interesting. I just test drove an 08 LTD and noticed they same thing around 40 mph while maintaining speed, with RPM around 1600 RPM. did not say anything until after the test drive by salesman admitted feeling it. Felt very "cheap". Anyway, he said that it could be the alloy wheels...or snow on the inside causing it to be unbalanced....BS!! I've had that happen to my wheels and this was not the same. As soon as I pushed on the accelerator, even though the speed had not really changed, the vibration stopped. This is definitely an issue with the engine or tranny. Might be enough to turn me away from this vehicle. Test drove a highlander right after and it was extremely smooth in comparison.   Wonder if there are other complaints along this line in other threads....will have to check.

Replying to: luck11 (Dec 29, 2008 6:59 pm) I test drove both vehicles. I did not notice the vibration at that time.   However, Veracruz has a lot more car for the money. That is why sold me.   The vibration is really annoying. I would never buy hyundai again. Replies to this message: hoo320 (Jan 05, 2009 10:06 am)

Replying to: hoo320 (Jan 01, 2009 7:49 am) After spending more time with this veracruz, I found that the engine rumbles at low RPM almost at every gear.   Anyone knows how?

Replying to: hoo320 (Dec 13, 2008 6:05 pm) My 2007 Veracruz has the same "rumble" problem. When the engine is cold and I reach the speeds of 40mph, the trainy upshifts to 6th gear, RPMs drop down to about 1600: the rumble appears. I did not take the vehicle to the dealer because I believe the rumble is due to not enough pressure buildup in transmisison in 6th gear at 40mph. In other words, the engine is struggeling to speed up with such a low RPMs. It is kind of the same with a stick shift: the engine will rumble if you try to start from a 4th gear. Once you apply more gas, the trainy downshifts, RPMs go up, pressure builds up, and rumble goes away. To avoid that on cold engine, I manually change my gears, and don't go past 4th gear until the engine warms up.   My Veracruz also has this downshift jerk at 15 - 20 mph, when slowing down. But it is not consistent. I heard other people having that as well, but dealer keeps telling them it is normal. I honestly don't care...I have 100K miles waranty Replies to this message: hoo320 (Jan 08, 2009 2:28 am) bbmax_00 (Jan 08, 2009 3:35 am)

Replying to: hoo320 (Dec 13, 2008 6:05 pm) I too recently purchased the veracruz and have noticed the same thing and was told they are awaiting an answer from hyundai. another issue I have is the vehicle has a very stiff ride, takes bumps hard, especailly in rear. The one I test drove was smoother, taking it to dealer tomorrow. can anyone tell me how their veracruz rides. Replies to this message: hoo320 (Jan 08, 2009 2:20 am)

Replying to: autman52 (Jan 07, 2009 8:47 pm) My veracruz rides ok. much softer than the santa fe I have before.   before that I had a mazda tribute, which is tight but not stiff at all.   I think the main reason is the large 18 inches rim. Another possible reason would be the tire pressure. Dealers normally put it very high, 45 psi.   Good luck
