| Description of the problem | On may 7,2014 the sonata was leaking transmission fluid on my garage floor. This vehicle is only two weeks old and about 700 miles on it. When o'brien hyundai towed it to urbana,illinois. The service manager told me the transmission had leaked one quart of transmission fluid. He also stated one of the ports had not been sealed at the factory. When pressed he told me the transmission fluid could have caught on fire. He also stated when the car ran out of fluid it would just lock up. Frightening thought of the car was traveling 70 mph. Thanks for your time in this matter. |
