problem #1

Mar 072021

Elantra 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 122,000 miles

This car had great reviews for reliability so I'm shocked. Mechanic said the torque converter broke causing metal to shatter throughout the transmission and destroying the transmission. Last fall I had it inspected by mechanic and had a transmission flush over the summer. They said all looked good.

Update from Mar 12, 2021: A transmission flush was done in August of 2019. Crankshaft sensor was also replaced in August of 2019.
