Replying to: somedai1 (May 08, 2009 5:50 am) a private repaire shop (that i have done work with for years and is quite good) one thing was that i checked the fluid about a week after the flush and noticed that it was LOW they gave me a qt and i installed most of it but was unsure if i might not be overfilling it so had the wife take it back to dealership and finished adding what i had plus at least another 1/2 qt if not more this morning we drove the car and did not hear the noise till we were on our way home but was not as loud as yesterday and that was one thing we have noticed is that sometimes it is not there and then again other times it is

Does this SF you bought have a hitch ? Any service records that you can get ? There any leaking at the transmission. Kind of strange to have the trans be low. |

Purchased 2004 Santa Fe used in January, 2008. Car is 6 cylinder automatic. No problems until November, 2008, when it began stalling after heavy rain. Check Engine light comes on and car cannot be restarted. This usually happens after driving about 10 blocks or about half mile but only during or after heavy rain. This has happened about 4 or 5 times. Last time, I left it at the stop sign without trying to restart and called a tow truck. By the time the car arrived at the repair shop, it started just fine. No one seems to be able to find any problem but it is very frustrating. I'm reluctant to use the car when it rains or after the rain stops. Any suggestions or help?
