I have 2009 Elantra, September 2017 I noticed a lag in the shifting always at 25-32mph most of the time I had to remove my foot from accelerator to manually shift. Whether I 'manually shifted' or stayed on the accelerator, there would always be a hard jerk during the shifting of that gear. On deaccereration, the car would always jerk on the downshift almost always at the same 25-32mph. I had to avoid highways due to safety concerns of merging due to the lack of acceleration. I decided to have the transmission serviced at a Hyundai dealer. The day I picked my car up, I couldn't drive over parking lot speeds. I immediately drove it to the dealership I purchased an extended service warranty through and my transmission was replaced with a used Elantra transmission with 72,000miles. The car shifted great for first 2months, now second transmission has been doing the exact same thing as original transmission. I have not reached out to service warranty company as it will just be a waste of time and effort. I can't afford to be without transportation for 5-7days and they do not offer rental or loaner car, just to get yet another used transmission just to have the problem reoccur. I would like Hyundai's assistance to get a new transmission that will reduce safety issues and prolong the life of the car.

Receive service campaign notification to apply rust-proofing materials to underbody to arrest the corrosion process. Took car to local Hyundai dealer for rust-proofing and was informed that the oil pan is rusted and needs replaced at a cost to me over $600 - I have written estimate from Hyundai dealer. Informed that oil pan needs replaced because if it fails that oil will leak out and damage\ruin engine. Told Hyundai would not cover oil pan replacement under warranty as I am not the original owner even though mileage was under 100,000 at time of service. If I was the original owner, then it would have been covered under the 100,000 mile bumper to bumper coverage. I also have a 2010 Hyundai Elantra that received same service campaign notice for rust proofing underbody and oil pan is looking its like heading into same direction in need of replacement due to rust. This should not be happening to the oil pan even after 10 years of age.
