| Description of the problem | I've noticed that putting my car in reverse is causing a hard shift into gear. Also, when you come to a stop, five seconds later it feels like someone is rear-ending the vehicle when there is no one there. I went to the hyundai dealership to ask them about the issue and before i could get halfway through explaining what was going on, the service advisor finished my thought and said he had heard of that issue before and knew about it.... He told me that is was probably a bad transmission. It sounded like this was a common issue since he already knew how i was going to finish the problems i've been having. After speaking to other 2015 sonata owners from the same, they are having the exact same issues. Hyundai knows that these issues are going on, that is a fact based on the information i received from the service advisor. If this is a known issue then it should be resolved by the manufacturer and made known to the public. These issues should be resolved immediately. |
