2010 santa fe. I get a loud knock (which jerks the vehicle) every so often when i start the vehicle. The dealer cannot find anything with it. I also get a pause at times going from 2nd to 3rd gear in my automatic transmission. Dealer refilled transmission fluid which seems to have helped that a little, but it still jerks at times while shifting gears. The knock has not stopped however. Just happened again yesterday…

I have a 2010 hyundai santa fe awd. We bought the car with 8 miles. After one week we started to notice a banging sound when the car would shift at low speeds, sometimes it was so severe the car would jerk forward violently. We have taken it to the local dealer twice and they tell us there is nothing wrong. Today my wife was coming home from work and slowed down to let some kids cross the street, as she was slowing…

The car will go into neutral gear all on its own and then slip back into gear lunging the car forward. Occupants of the car will get a whiplash effect. The car is usually in 2nd or third gear when it no longer has power. This can be very very dangerous in a merging type of driving situation. The driver is counting on the car to bring them into traffic, maintaining a certain speed and control. All of a sudden when…

On a large number of occasions, the transmission of my 2010 hyundai santafe awd would slip into neutral as it went through the gears. That is when the car was still relatively cool as in the morning, it would start off in first, shift to second and then on some occasions slip into neutral. With a little on and off on the accelerator it would then go into third and then shift normally. The only times that it would…

My problem is with a 2010 hyundai santa fe, 4 cyl. The problem is that the vehicle sometimes hesitates to move forward, and then suddenly accelerates. It happens when the vehicle is stopped as in traffic. When the accelerator is depressed the vehicle does not immediately move forward, and then it suddenly moves forward very quickly. I have reported this problem three times to my dealer. They had a " factory" service…

I have a 2010 hyundai santa fe. The transmission slips and i get a hard shift with a loud bang when shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd. It seems to do this when the transmission is cold but it does it even when warm. I had mine in 3 times for repair with a new transmission on the last repair. The new transmission is the same as the original one. Hyundai knows about this and they knew about when i bought the car.…
