ENGINE START VIBRATING AT LOW SPEED

I HAVE 2009 ELANTRA, SEPTEMBER 2017 I NOTICED A LAG IN THE SHIFTING ALWAYS AT 25-32MPH MOST OF THE TIME I HAD TO REMOVE MY FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR TO MANUALLY SHIFT. WHETHER I 'MANUALLY SHIFTED' OR STAYED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE A HARD JERK DURING THE SHIFTING OF THAT GEAR. ON DEACCERERATION, THE CAR WOULD ALWAYS JERK ON THE DOWNSHIFT ALMOST ALWAYS AT THE SAME 25-32MPH. I HAD TO AVOID HIGHWAYS DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS OF MERGING DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION. I DECIDED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED AT A HYUNDAI DEALER. THE DAY I PICKED MY CAR UP, I COULDN'T DRIVE OVER PARKING LOT SPEEDS. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED SERVICE WARRANTY THROUGH AND MY TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED WITH A USED ELANTRA TRANSMISSION WITH 72,000MILES. THE CAR SHIFTED GREAT FOR FIRST 2MONTHS, NOW SECOND TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE NOT REACHED OUT TO SERVICE WARRANTY COMPANY AS IT WILL JUST BE A WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION FOR 5-7DAYS AND THEY DO NOT OFFER RENTAL OR LOANER CAR, JUST TO GET YET ANOTHER USED TRANSMISSION JUST TO HAVE THE PROBLEM REOCCUR. I WOULD LIKE HYUNDAI'S ASSISTANCE TO GET A NEW TRANSMISSION THAT WILL REDUCE SAFETY ISSUES AND PROLONG THE LIFE OF THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

RECEIVE SERVICE CAMPAIGN NOTIFICATION TO APPLY RUST-PROOFING MATERIALS TO UNDERBODY TO ARREST THE CORROSION PROCESS. TOOK CAR TO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER FOR RUST-PROOFING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE OIL PAN IS RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OVER $600 - I HAVE WRITTEN ESTIMATE FROM HYUNDAI DEALER. INFORMED THAT OIL PAN NEEDS REPLACED BECAUSE IF IT FAILS THAT OIL WILL LEAK OUT AND DAMAGE\RUIN ENGINE. TOLD HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER OIL PAN REPLACEMENT UNDER WARRANTY AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER EVEN THOUGH MILEAGE WAS UNDER 100,000 AT TIME OF SERVICE. IF I WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER COVERAGE. I ALSO HAVE A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA THAT RECEIVED SAME SERVICE CAMPAIGN NOTICE FOR RUST PROOFING UNDERBODY AND OIL PAN IS LOOKING ITS LIKE HEADING INTO SAME DIRECTION IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT DUE TO RUST. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO THE OIL PAN EVEN AFTER 10 YEARS OF AGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION EXHIBITED HESITATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AFTER THE SERVICE WAS PERFORMED. IN ADDITION, THE HORN FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

I HAVE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH SHIFTING GEARS. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A FEW YEARS. I'LL TRY TO TAKE OFF AND IT FEELS LIKE IT GETS STUCK BETWEEN THE LOWER GEARS. IT CAUSES THE CAR AND OCCUPANTS TO GET JERKED AROUND STRONGLY. A FEW TIMES IT HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT TO PROCEED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. HYUNDAI DEALER STATES IT IS THE "SPEED SENSORS", BUT NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. *TR

2009 HYUNDAI ELANTRA BRAND NEW BOUGHT. 1. WHEN THE CAR IS PUT ON 'PARKING' ON A HILL, IT SLIPS BACK ABOUT COUPLE OF FEET. IT SEEM LIKE GEARS WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY (NOT IN POSITION) BECAUSE I FELT AND HEARD CLICKING NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE GEARS SLIPPING BY NOT BEING IN CORRECT POSITION. 2. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT QUITE OFTEN WHEN IT'S PARKED ON A HILL. ABOUT 1-2 TIMES A WEEK. WHEN IT HAPPENS AND I TRY TO SEE IF IT REPEATS, BY GOING BACK AND FORTH THE CAR AND PUT ON PARKING AGAIN, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO REPEAT. 3. I HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WORKS AFTER THE SLIPPAGE. BUT I AM THINKING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AS IN WORRY OF FURTHER TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ONLY CONCERN IS THAT BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, NOT SURE IF DEALER WILL BE ABLE TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY USUALLY DON'T CARE UNLESS THEY SEE THEM WITH THEIR OWN EYES. *TR
