problem #2

Santa Fe GLS 3.3L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 100,207 miles

At approx 94,000 km, Hyundai replaced my transmission under warranty due to erratic shifting and clunking. The problem occurred again at approx 160,000 km. I had to replace the transmission at my own cost ($2,500). Customer service refused to elevate the complaint and after much discussion over several weeks they offered me $500 to make me go away. I refused and I will be looking to the courts for compensation.

The car was purchased in Austria and regularly serviced of the authorized service station in Slovenia. I have also done each year, testing the vehicle by your program. Even in Austria and Sloveni Christ to solve my problem, although it is clear that after 4. 5 years of transmission cannot be used up
