2008 Hyundai SANTA FE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

File date	15/01/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	This vehicle has developed a speed sensitive "whirring" sound while the transmission is engaged. We initially thought it was a tire noise, but did not go away when new tires were installed. The dealership told us it was the drive belt rubbing against the cover, but further investigation by another repair facility found no excessive wear on the belt, and no indication of contact with the cover. The noise is actually coming from the transmission, and is exactly as described in recall 102 which applies to 2010 models. I plan to start a fight with hyundai over this repair as the transmissions are the same on the 2008 models as the 2010.
