Transmission Stuck In Gear Problems of Hyundai Santa Fe

Tl the contact owns a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe. While operating the vehicle, a knocking noise was heard coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to suburban Hyundai (1814 maple lawn, troy, michigan) where it was diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact indicated that the vehicle was previously repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 17v226000 (engine) in 2017, but the failure persisted. In addition the contact stated that the gear shifter became stuck and was very difficult to switch from the park position. The failure would normally occur when the vehicle was not driven for several days. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was 60,000.

This initially started around 3k miles. We thought the vehicle adjusting to our driving patterns; however overtime it became a constant problem. I called the service dept. & they'd not heard of this occurring. It's getting much worse and I'm afraid to drive it. The vehicle randomly at no specific speed seems to either get stuck in a gear or try to stall turning left, right (dry conditions) or as I'm on the highway moving lanes; no specific mph. (this is a driving death machine and for safety purposes I refuse to put other lives at risk) there's a 2-4 sec. Delay, forcing me to punch the gas (my grandfather or father would have stated; "sounds like sawdust in your engine") to get my vehicle to move; ultimately a near miss of a fatal incident on two separate occasions and becoming very close to getting t-boned due to this dangerously "unpredictable & extremely unsafe" vehicle. My husband was fed up and took the vehicle into the dealership. We provided detailed explanations of our experiences. Yesterday received back from service tech our invoice of service work and they state no problems; & update cause to resolution :TSB 17-br0002 tcs update. In normal driving conditions from 5 mph to 20mph the rpms shouldn't suddenly increase to 5k without forward motion. This occurs in normal, eco, and sport at sporadic times. My vehicle has 10,223 miles this morning. I spoke with Hyundaiusa & inquired of a buyback for vehicle considering the seriousness of the vehicle's safety and because the service technician stated there's no fix now or in the near future. An engineer from Hyundai corp would have to come and there's no idea when (?). So I respectfully request an investigation into the seriousness of this safety. If there's any potential of preventing lost lives of children and babies, please help.

I was coming off the highway on the off-ramp and coming to a stop at a stoplight. When the light turned green, the car wouldn't not accelerate pass 10 or 15 mph. It seemed like it wouldn't shift to a higher gear but would be stuck on 1st gear to accelerate. I had to pull off the side of the road and get it towed back to the dealership. Before getting a tow truck, I attempted to turn it off and on several time. The check engine light would come on and any attempts to restart and accelerate the car would produce the same results; the car wouldn't accelerate. Also, after turning off the car, the car would not come on without a lot of engine cranks. The car only as 823 miles on it. I've only had it for 2 weeks. Extremely disappointed with the car and the company. Will try to return it. Not worth the risk of it causing inuring to my family.

Brake light switch malfunction caused vehicle transmission shifter to be stuck in drive or reverse. Vehicle transmission shifter could not be shifted into park. Malfunction also caused electronic stability control to shut off and cruise control did not deactivate when the brake pedal was depressed. Brake light switch was replaced in 2010 due to malfunction with this new brake light switch, which also malfunctioned. Hyundai claimed vehicle was not part of recall id# 78947 for service brakes, hydraulic:switches:brake light. However, again, brake light switch was replaced in 2010 with another malfunctioning brake light switch.

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.
