I have a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe limited and within a couple weeks of owning the vehicle noticed transmission problems. At first, I thought it was something that I was doing, but then my husband drove it and said the same thing. Between the speeds of 10-40 mph, the transmission shifts hard between 2nd and 3rd gear and occasionally between 1st and 2nd gear as if it gets stuck. It does it when upshifting and even when downshifting. It happens constantly, when the vehicle is cold, when it's warm, every day. I mentioned it to the dealership when I took it in for an oil change and of course they could not replicate the problem and can't do anything until they can replicate the issue. I guess I'll just keep mentioning it whenever I take it in for service and hope that eventually they will do something about it. It is very frustrating since the vehicle was brand new.
