Transmission whine resolution
Previously I posted a query here about a transmission whine in the
2000 Sonata GLS we purchased used at a local Hyundai dealer. The car's transmission had been replaced under warranty shortly after purchase, and the replacement transmission had a slight whine noticable at certain speeds under part throttle. I had the car checked out at the dealer when taking it in for scheduled maintenance and they had a technician ride with me to listen. While driving driving around the tech said "sounds like pinion whine" which is also what I thought. My expectation was that the dealer would blow off the problem, since pinion whine is not a fatal problem in most cars, the noise was not very loud, and this was after all a 4-year old used car. (So I was expecting "that's normal" or "sometimes they're like that and you have to live with it" or words to that effect.) To my surprise, after checking a few things the dealer called and said they were going to install another transmission. They ordered one from Hyundai, installed it, and all appears to be OK. It is obviously disappointing to buy a car and have not one, but two transmissions installed within a short period of time! But I certainly can't fault the warranty, or the service we're being given on what after all was a used car purchase, in fact I'm pretty amazed at the level of service. This is our first Hyundai and we will very likely be repeat buyers (from Hyundai and the dealer) when car purchase time comes again. |

Why the suprise ? My wife's first Hyundai was a used 92 Elantra with
only 40K miles (This was in 1995) . She thought the transmission shifted funny , she thought it was OK , they wouldn't let her take it untill they replaced the transmission and installed a new exhaust system .
