NHTSA Complaint #10356558 — 2010 HYUNDAI SANTA FE

WITH A COLD ENGINE IN THE MORNING, MY 2010 HYUNDAI SANTE FE VEHICLE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WITH A LOUD "BANG" AROUND 10MPH. THIS IS SPORADIC. ALSO AT START UP, THE VEHICLE WHILE SITTING IN PARK, DOES THE SAME THING WHEN STARTED, THOUGH NOT AS FORCEFUL AT WHEN DRIVING. I NOW HAVE 4800 MILES, AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVERY 2 OR 3 WEEKS MINIMUM. I USED TO THINK LITTLE OF IT UNTIL IT HAS BEGUN REPEATING EVEN AFTER THE DEALER "RESET" THE SOFTWARE. I ALSO NOTICE NOW THERE ARE SEVERAL AUTO WEBSITES VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HERE IS ONE: HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F127D3D/199. I AM SCHEDULED TO LEAVE THE CAR THIS WEEK, AND THEY ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING A PROBLEM UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE IT. I FEEL THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN, AND THAT IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE. I WILL FILE A LEMON LAW CLAIM AFTER 2 MORE ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS EXTREMELY OBVIOUS PROBLEM. *TR
