Transmission Noise Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

With only a little over 113,000 miles on the vehicle, the transmission began, without warning, making a jet engine type whining noise when accelerating, and a noticeable whirring noise with a fairly rough "wind down" of the transmission when decelerating. No indications of a an impending failure were noted prior to the transmission symptoms being noted. Online research indicated that these were the same exact symptoms noted as a result of a recall of nearly 6000 2010 Hyundai vehicles, which required a recall of these vehicles. The 2008 Santa Fe in this case has the same or very similar transmission and engine configuration, and at least one other 2008 owner has complained of this situation. In addition, in discussing this with the Hyundai dealer service manager, he stated that there are problems with the transmission and that there are very few, if any, in stock and have to come from the manufacturer in atlanta due to the demand for replacements (latest estimate is 10 days to 2 weeks just to get the parts!). Now, Hyundai has been "gracious" in agreeing to pay for half of the cost (so nice, considering it only has 113k miles on it before it failed), but I believe strongly that the campaign 102 recall actions associated with the 2010 Santa Fe vehicles needs to be further examined, and I believe strongly that it will be found that the same conditions, need for recall and kit installation, etc. Forget the year models which seems to be the focal point - focus on the transmission parts and model numbers, and similar configurations, please! the Hyundai dealer has provided Hyundai with part numbers, diagnostic information, technician observations, etc. No visible damage (hence no photos) was discernible on my (the owner's) part. Transmission failure occurred while driving in colorado springs (permanent residence in broken arrow, ok).

My transmission went out at 114,000 miles they found metal shavings in it, we had it replaced. Now at 134,000 miles the engine went out, they found metal shavings in that also. It has been sitting at Hyundai since December 2019 it is now February 2020 and still without a car or a rental. Service department built and new engine after they tested the engine it started making noises again and apparently Hyundai sent them some part that didn't fit now they have to fix it again. . . Hyundai corporate has only offered to pay half of the repairs even though it was an engine malfunction. Both of these issues happen while driving. The engine shut down while on the freeway when it broke.

Bought the Santa Fe used with 96046 miles on it. Shortly after buying it it began making a loud banging noise in the rear end when first starting out especially starting out on an upgrade. Also makes the noise when backing up in wet grass or muddy conditions. Sometimes sounds like the whole back end is going to fall off the car. Unfortunately no warranty. There are plenty of complaints regarding the transmission. Needs addressed before someone gets hurt.

Engine started to make clicks and car immediately stalled getting off the freeway. Had to be stopped, parked before I regained engine power. This happened around 22,800 miles. Happened again on the way to dealer and with dealer service staff. Diagnosed as defective turbo assembly that was replaced. Shortly after I picked the car from the shop, I noticed same clicking noise again and car also accelerated on it's own when my foot was not on the break. This happened intermittently. The car returned to the shop and I was told that there is damage in the engine and the engine was replaced. When I went to pick up the car I noticed oil dripping below it. Car was inspected again and I was informed that the transmission assembly is cracked and will need to be replaced. The car is still at the shop.

This vehicle has developed a speed sensitive "whirring" sound while the transmission is engaged. We initially thought it was a tire noise, but did not go away when new tires were installed. The dealership told us it was the drive belt rubbing against the cover, but further investigation by another repair facility found no excessive wear on the belt, and no indication of contact with the cover. The noise is actually coming from the transmission, and is exactly as described in recall 102 which applies to 2010 models. I plan to start a fight with Hyundai over this repair as the transmissions are the same on the 2008 models as the 2010.

On January 15 2015 while traveling through florida from texas. Driving a Hyundai Santa Fe 2010 owned for 3 years. Exiting from highway via service road. Stopped at stop sign. Proceeded to make a left hand turn across 4 lanes. Engine makes a whizzing noise and stops in middle of the first lane. Tried to switch gears into reverse, park or neutral. Hyundai would not move . Got out of car and pushed it back to stop sign. Tractor trailer came up behind us and stopped he could not get by. Driver offered assistance to push the auto aside. Sat in car for several hours until tow truck arrived. Brought to nearest Hyundai dealer. Auto has less than 84,00 miles , it is just shy 20,000 of the 60,000/ five year power train warranty. Discovered the car has three recalls ("campaigns") against it. Campaign #102 specifically pertains to the drive-shaft component and could result in a transmission problem, in which case it obliviously did. However according to the dealership service department, Hyundai regional manager and Hyundai customer service the defect product did not cause the problem. At this point we are stranded and "held captive". Rebuilt " tranny " with 85k existing mileage, 12/12 warranty, cost to Hyundai customer $2400. 00. This does not include tow, rental of car to drive home or shipping of repaired car. Hyundai buyers beware.

See attached email updated 06/04/2013 the occupant classification system (osc) does not consistently recognize small-statured adults, causing the passenger side air bag to deactivate when such person occupy the front seat. Also, there were problems with the transmission, a knocking noise coming from the front of the vehicle, the vehicle shutting down, an issue with the throttle cable, and a whining sound upon acceleration.

6/11/upon breaking off highway, vehicle made a crunching noise, then a hard screeching stop, proceeded to idle, make a hard stop. The vehicle wasn't recognizing gears, continuing to thrust the car into hard stops, jerking repeatedly as I tried to accelerate. Heading home, it happened again. The next day took it to our dealership. As soon as I put it in reverse, the problem occurred. They replaced the abs module, test drove it and said it was fixed. 6/same problem (same distance: 75 miles). The dealership test drove, said they couldn't find problem. I told them to drive it some distance. Service advisor drove it and nothing. They drove it again, duplicated the problem, recorded data. Called their tech line, unhooked rear coupler to see if that was it. They replaced the rear coupler, test drove it and said it was fixed. I questioned if it could be the transmission. Was told they couldn't replace things on a whim. 10/problem occurred (same distance). Wife phoned service advisor,he told her the vehicle was fixed previously. Towed it to a nearby dealer. They checked the fluids, reset the computer, couldn't duplicate the problem. Since this time, the following has occurred: 10/wrote a detailed letter and sent it to Hyundai. 11/letter was received. 11/didn't hear back, I phoned Hyundai. 11/representative phoned (I was unavailable). 11/spoke with rep; told to contact service manager to set up appt with a factory rep next time they are at dealership. 11/sent email with letter to the service manager and Hyundai, asking for a call back. 11/received survey from Hyundai, I responded unfavorably. 12/received email from Hyundai, again referring me to the service manager. This is a genuine a lack of service from our dealership and Hyundai itself. Most importantly it's a safety concern. I ask you to consider this information. Please assist me in any way that you can. Respectfully, brandan pierard.

Recently, my 2003 Santa Fe has had a grinding/whinning/rubbing noise when I take off at low speeds. Sounds like might be transmission, wheel bearing or pulley, but not sure. Took vehicle to dealship and his analysis was that the noise was coming from the idler pulley. Ordered new pulley and will replace when it comes in. This noise would come and go at speeds between 5 - 25 mph and would last for several seconds up to a minute.
