| Description of the problem | 2010 santa fe gl - about 60% of starting has a jerk/kick. It's like something engaged suddenly. Taken to the dealer twice and showed no abnormal readings. On aug. 19/2010, while driving on the highway at 110 km/hr there was a loud bang as if something hit the car from behind. I thought the truck beside me lost a wheel and struck my car. Had to get off the highway and do a visual inspection which revealed nothing. My car had 7,000 km at that time. |
