Description of the problem | 2010 hyundai sante fe awd transmission issue. Immediately upon starting, while car is in park, car idles high, wants to lurch backward, but is "caught" by the fact that it is still in park. Makes a loud bang sound when this happens - almost like something in the frame or elsewhere in car catches it. Then, when putting in gear, it idles high and accelerates very quickly without foot on gas. Need to keep foot securely on brake for safety. Hyundai denies a problem when it is brought in for service. Other hyundai santa fe drivers indicate problem is with transmission and gets worse over time, including having stalls while in traffic,, unexpected acceleration, car won't shift in 2nd and 3rd gears. Please get hyundai to address this problem and issue a recall. |
