| Description of the problem | While driving our 2017 hyndai santa fe on interstate 64 with the cruise control set at 65 mph the transmission will down shift to 5th and then 4th and then 3rd gear with the rpm almost red lining. This is while going down a slight downgrade. I've been having to use the manual mode to shift back up to 6th gear. We contacted the local hyundai dealer who stated they were aware of the problem but did not have a solution to the problem at this time. I am worried about the safety of this vehicle with this problem. |
