2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Consumer writes in regard to transmission failure.
Vehicle has 107k mi and automatic transmission needs to be replaced (symptoms: upshifting lag and "thunk" when downshifting at 15-25mph). According to dealer, it can not be re-built due to design and must be replaced. Car has been very well-cared for and driven less than 10,000/mi/yr for the last 8+ years. There was a recall on some 2010 Santa Fe transmissions but dealer says ours was not impacted. We feel that a transmission that fails after 107k gentle miles must have a design flaw.

It looks like the Santa Fe 2010 had a recall for their transmissions for some of the vins. Perhaps they should expand the recall to other vins as my car has 55,000 miles on it and there are signs that the transmission is having trouble. It has been used lightly and never used to tow anything. I am the second owner, so the 10 year/100,000 is not valid anymore. I don' t think the transmission should fail at 55,000 miles for gentle driving. I think the recall should expand to some of the other vins.
At stop when turning right are left and accelerating the transmission fails to respond ad the car stalls then will go. If slow to slow speed and accelerated the car will stall before shifting down. This problem is a safety hazard. Took it to hyuandi dealer at 3000 miles was told it was normal.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe. The contact stated that after accelerating from a stop, the vehicle would accelerate to high speeds. The vehicle was later towed to a dealer where the contact was advised that the transmission failed and needed replacing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and current mileages were approximately 41,000. The VIN was unavailable. Kmj.

Vehicle sometimes makes a loud bang at startup. Haven't observed any sudden jerks while vehicle is in motion but wondering if this "banging" problem will lead to a transmission failure while vehicle is in motion. 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe limited 3. 5 l v6 awd.
