Even driving in the city my car has a rough jerk…

Transmission slips and jerks going to third gear and sometimes takes about 5 seconds to downshift if acceleration is needed as i'm entering a highway. My car had about 45,000 miles when this started to happen. A lot of people have the same problem according to online forums but the manufacture would not issue a recall on these defective transmissions.

My transmission jerks when it changes gears and also when i put the car in reverse. I got the car from a hyundai dealership and told them that there was a slight jerk in the transmission and the sales guy lied to me and said it was a cvt transmission and that they all do that. I went to a few transmission shops and the guys laughed at me because my car doesn't have a cvt transmission. They all did a tran scan and…

I am also having problems with 3 out of the 4 power windows. The issue seems to be amother default in this model car because there were also plenty of others with this same issue. All 3 went out at the same time. The mechanic tried replacing the motor and…

For several months now my car feels as if it is slipping into neutral when i try to speed up on the highway. When i am doing city driving i can feel a jerking motion when accelerating from a stop position or slow movement. My car only has about 45,000 miles on it. Trying to get on the highway can become very nail biting when you try to speed up and your car slips into neutral. I find that i have to put the gas pedal…

A failing transmission in a low mileage car is an issue. At just over 51,000 miles my automatic transmission began jerking into gear between 2nd and 3rd. After having it diagnosed i was told they were able to "sort-of feel what i was talking about" and initially recommended a fluid change. When i asked questions about that, suddenly i was told it was in internal failure and i needed the transmission replaced. That…

I was approaching highway from city roads and i had to accelerate to get in the flow. Suddenly, i felt that even though i was accelerating, car did not gain speed. I checked rpms and it was quite high for the speed that car was moving. It looked to me as if car was in neutral gear but it was not. The car behind me almost hit my car because the driver was expecting my car to move faster. I had to stop on shoulder to…

When driving at highway speeds, the transmission slips out of gear and the rpms go sky high and the car runs like it is in neutral. I have to tap the brake before it will adjust and go back into gear. This seems to be a bigger problem when carrying passengers. The added weight appears to be a factor. It's rather dangerous since it can happen at any time without warning and happened just this past weekend when…

This is not an isolated incident it is an ongoing problem with my vehicle. On my 2010 elantra automatic transmission, it is as though the gears are not working. When the car is in drive the issue arises. In order to get the car to 40 mph i have to literally hit the gas and get the rpms to 5,000 or almost 6,000 before the car will shift. The car then shifts but when it is settling into 1000-2000 rpm's the power jerks…

The problem started around 31,000 miles and continues now with 85,000 miles, while driving 40mph at stop and go or even uphill transmission seems to slip into neutral and will then be back in gear without any banging. The dealer changed the filter and fluid around 40,000 miles and blew us off. The time it takes to get back into gear is longer now than in the beginning. There's too many transmission complaints to be…
