Description of the problem | Hyundai sante fe 2010 was purchased new in february 2010. Within 3 months the vehicle stalled and died twice while in route. And displayed difficulty up-shifting and down=shifting, 1st - 3rd and 3rd - 1st. Returned to service dept of dealer. Service dept unable to determine cause of incidents. Within 2-3 months post these incidents, the vehicle "clanged and banged"and continued problems with acceleration and shifting gears. Also began an intermittent loud "vacuum cleaner" noise during gear changes. Returned vehicle to dealer service center and after 4 hour review, was informed the transmission would need to be replaced. When the vehicle was reported as repaired, and was required to be picked-up, no statement or document was provided to indicate repairs or damages. Not until the dealership and manufacturer were contacted was the statement offered, one week later. Haven't seen the statement yet as it will be accessed through the dealer this week. I was informed the vehicle was repaired by replacing the current defective transmission with the a new same-model transmission. What is that about? Replace the defective transmission with a newer defective model, i don't think so! I am a widow with one car to drive for work. In my line of work, i am alone on the road several weeks a year. Please can you assist me with this issue? Thank you for your consideration. |
