problem #3

May 252000

Sportage 4WD

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The engine will start up and stay at aprox 3000 RPM for at least 30 seconds. A few times it would not start at all. Twice the rpms jumped while each my wife and I were driving it and almost caused accidents. The locking hubs on the four wheel drive are not unlocking. It caused some sliding in the rain going around a corner. The wheels always turn at the same rate around corners. The trim is coming loose around the windshield. The transmission is rough when I shift, and during driving it will some times surge forward and back. Too much play in the steering wheel.
