1 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 04/09/2020

Transmission slips. I'm at 80k miles. I thought I could determine which gears it's slipping but at times it's been between 2 &3, 3&4. The car will rev high on rpms with out correlating speed and then catch. Jerks between gears at times. I feel so unsafe in this Hyundai and I don't I can afford the cost. I know it's not from my driving.

2 Transmission Gear Slipping problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2016

While accelerating, the transmission would slip. This would cause the car to lose power while the gear slipped, then the gear would catch and the car would surge forward. The dealer could not find an issue and gave the car back to me. The problem returned, so I had the car towed back to the dealer. The dealer replaced the automatic transmission and the issue resolved. The replaced transmission began to exhibit the same behavior approximately 35,000 miles later.
