2007 Santa Fe Transmission
Have noticed recently, 3 or 4 times, that when leaving my driveway in
reverse and then shifting to drive and applying the accelerator, there is a chuggling of the transmission. Now I know that chuggling isn't a technical term, but thats the best way I can describe it. Like it wants to shift then stops then shifts then stops then shifts - all within a few hundred microseconds, then it takes off. Have only noticed it when taking off the first time during the day. I'm in Florida so can't really say it is a "cold transmission". May happen other times but haven't noticed it. Could this be a low transmission fluid indication? Thanks, Jim |

I do live in Florida too (Tampa area), but definitely it's worse when cold. |

Have you figured out the problem? Had it to a dealer? Jim (Sebring) |

Had it to a dealer? > > Jim (Sebring Yes and no, asked the dealer two times about it, first: cannot reproduce the problem ????? happened to me every day, never to dealer ???? Second, reprogrammed computer ... nothing change. So I did some research on my own: 1.- Reset computer, train him again, driving real slow (less than 2000 RPM) until the shift was smooth, then driving normally ... it lasted for about a week, then back to same old. 2.- After tranny flush and reprogram, repeat procedure #1 again ... same result ... give up, that was 2 years ago, it works OK all the time, except for that first on the morning, so I got use to it, now is not as bad as it use to be, but in really cold weather (last year on New Hampshire fall it actually KLONG at 40F). If it has not destroy the tranny in 5 years, it must be kind of normal, I hope. PD, I have the LX 3.5L V6 with the 5 speed tranny, is yours the same gearbox ??. |
Re: 2007 Santa Fe Transmission
If I understand correctly, the initial engagement after shifting to drive
is "busy." I haven't noticed this on any '07 or newer Santa Fes, but I don't have one as my daily driver, either. Take it in for the dealer to check. If they have trouble duplicating, perhaps go in the next day and start the car and drive it with them so they'll see the problem and the conditions under which it occurs. Could be normal, could be a problem. As of now, there are no reprograms for your transmission control module. If this is a common problem or even "normal operation" resulting in customer complaints, it's possible Hyundai will release a reprogram to repair. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
Re: 2007 Santa Fe Transmission
Yes HT, that is a good way to describe it. Has only happened a few times
and have only noticed it first time out. I now have a dealer 45 miles away which is better that the 80 miles prior to his opening. Anyway, I will pay more attention to the circumstances. Seems though that if it is only the first time in the day, I would have to leave the vehicle overnight after training someone on how it happens. I appreciate the info from both responders. I noted today that the situation did not occur. So will give it time.
