Santa Fe Sport

  • Automatic transmission
  • 124,000 miles

I have a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport AWD. I have owned it for 2 years now. I had changed a few parts like the PCV valve, tensioner, timing belt, engine oil pressure, Intake Motor VCM, PCV valve, etc.

I take it to maintenance every 3 o 4 month (I work from home and don't have to be driving all the time).

Since 1 month, the vehicle has been pulling when you are driving on low and when you start accelerating and sometimes you can feel a bump. I've been told it has to be with the valve box in the transmission. My AWD is not working either and they say I have to change the transmission because that is implicated in the problem too.

Anyone that has gone through the same problem and could give me any advice? This AWD transmission is hard to find and expensive (around 1,300 USD without labour costs).

Santa Fe Sport Sport Ultimate 2.0t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

My Hyundai Santa Fe sport 2017 2.0 awd has hesitation problems when accelerating from low speed or zero - there is a lag, about 2 seconds to get thrust and sometime engine will stall while the rpms are going up.
