2010 Hyundai Elantra Power Train

December 4, 2021 while driving to San Diego, CA, interstate 8W, Hyundai started jerking and pulling very hesitant. I took the car to my mechanic on December 13th and he informed me that the transmission had a slippage problem! Shifting from 1st to 2nd and then again from 4th gear! Bottom line, I needed another Transmission! I called NHTSA at 888-327-4236 to report this issue, but only a written complaint was taken! We 2010 Hyundai Elantra owners need to file a Civil Lawsuit against Hyundai! There are numerous complaints that I've read regarding this same suspension Faulty! Please contact me [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I have a significant defect and safety issue with my 2010 Hyundai Elantra that should be recalled by Hyundai. There seems to be a problem with the automatic gear shifter. The first issue is intermittent where the car does not turn on or even make a clicking noise when I try to turn the key in the ignition. This might make you think the battery is dead, but that is not the case. After a while of turning the car on and off, the car will eventually start. The second issue is that the gear shifter gets stuck and will not shift from one position to another. After much difficulty in getting it unstuck and shifting, the third and most significant problem is that the indicator as to which gear the car is in is not reflecting the actual gear that the car is in. This presents a real safety issue as the indicator will say that the car is in Park, but the car will roll like it is in neutral so the only way to get this to stop is to put on the emergency break while parked. Shifting into a position that you think you’re in, but not actually in, can result in hitting a pedestrian or another car. In rare instances, the car will actually shift into the correct position indicated by the gear shifter while it is in Park. You can find numerous results if you do a google search on the internet for the issues I’ve described above in Hyundai cars. Since the gear shifter is not working properly and is getting stuck, I feel this presents a significant safety issue should I need to get out of the way quickly in either a Drive or Reverse position or if I am expecting to be in a Park position and the car keeps moving.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ON INCLINES - LOSING POWER TO THE WHEELS (FEELS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL, AND THE RPM'S GO WAY UP). A VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS FEELING WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY FOR INSTANCE. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID REPLACED PER SCHEDULE. AS SEEN FROM OTHERS, THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT FOR THIS VEHICLE. NHTSA SHOULD ORDER A RECALL. HAVE ALSO NOTICED A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN COMING TO A HARD STOP.

VEHICLE HAS 85,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS IN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS. DOES NOT MATTER IF THE WEATHER IS WARM OR COLD OR IF ENGINE IS WARM OR COLD. REOCCURRING PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA HESITATES AND JERKS WHEN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY AFTER A YEAR OR TWO AFTER BUYING IT BRAND NEW. AT 160,000, IT HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. THIS HAPPENS AT ABOUT 30 TO 40 MILES AN HOUR (SOMETIMES HIGHER WHILE ON HIGHWAY). IT HAPPENS ON CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY IT IS NOT A RECALL.

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 NOTHING CAME UP ON THE SCANNER. THE SHOPS ARE TRYING TO CHARGE ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS JUST TO OPEN UP THE TRANSMISSION TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. IT'S SO WACK TO BE PAYING A CAR NOTE ON A CAR WITH A BAD TRANSMISSION. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF THE ELANTRA AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE ISNT A RECALL.

BOUGHT MY CAR USED TO FIND OUT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE TO SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. GOING ON TO THE HIGHWAY I'VE NOTICED THAT MY RPMS GO HIGH UP TO 3RD AND DONT KICK INTO GEAR UNTIL I'M ON FLAT SURFACE ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO WITH A ROUGH SLAM INTO THE RIGHT GEAR, BARELY FEELS LIKE I'M GETTING THE RIGHT POWER. EVEN DRIVING IN THE CITY MY CAR HAS A ROUGH JERK WHEN GOING INTO GEARS. I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS NOT ON A RECALL!!!?.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED TO SHIFT FROM SECOND INTO THIRD GEAR WITHOUT WARNING. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE MADE A HARD STOP, IT MADE A CLUNKING SOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH PARKS HYUNDAI OF GAINESVILLE (3111 N MAIN ST, GAINESVILLE, FL 32609, (352) 372-4251) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AS IS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,000. *LN*JB *BF *BF*JB*JB

THE TRANSMISSION OF THE CAR WILL HAVE HICCUP WHEN IT SHIFTS INTO DIFFERENT GEARS WHEN DRIVING AROUND 30-40 MPH.

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.

TRANSMISSION FAILS EVERY 35,000 TO 45,000 MILES. REPLACED TWICE UNDER 90,000 MILES. STARTS AS THE CAR HESITATES TO SHIFT OR DOES NOT SHIFT FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENS ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.

WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK ON A INCLINE THE TRANSMISSION FAILS TO HOLD THE CAR RESULTING IN THE CAR ROLLING AWAY WHILE UNOCCUPIED, I PUT MY 2010 ELANTRA IN PARK GOT OUT OF IT TO GET SOMETHING FROM THE BACK SSEAT, THE CAR WAS ON AN INCLINE AT THE TIME IN MY DRIVEWAY. AS I REACHED TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR I HEAR A LOUD BANG AND THEN I HAD ABOUT A SECOND TO LOOK AROUND AND THEN THE TRANSMISSION MADE A REPETITVE BANGING AND CLICKING SOUND AS THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS. I HAD TO OPEN THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR AND HOP IN THE CAR WHILE IT WAS MOVING SO I COULD HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. AFTER THIS I WENT TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND TALKED TO THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE THE TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE CARS AFFECTED. I BOUGHT MINE FROM A USED CAR LOT ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO I AM TAKING IT BACK AND THEY ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO FIX THE CAR, HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE A RECALL ISSED SO I CAN TAKE THIS CAR TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED SO I KNOW FOR SURE THIS IS NOT GOING TO HAPPPEN AGAIN.. AS OF RIGHT NOW I HAVE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO HOLD THE CAR TO BE SURE ITS NOT GOING TO ROLL AWAY WHEN NO ONE IS THERE TO STOP IT.. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND A GOOGLE SEARCH WILL CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS YEARS 2007 TILL 2010. I CAN GO OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW AND GARANTEE IF AND STRESS IS CREATED BY PARKING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE THE CAR WILL ROLL AWAY IN PARK.. I SHOWED THE DEALER THAT I GOT THE CAR FROM THIS YESTERDAY AND IT DID THIS 2 OUT OF 3 TIMES THAT I PUT THE CAR IN PARK ON A SLIGHT HILL..... THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

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 TO THE FLOOR, AND GET THE RPMS TO 5, IN ORDER TO GET IT INTO GEAR. I'M SEEING FAR TOO MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS AND I'M NOT SURE WHY IT'S NOT BEING RECALLED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR A FATALITY????

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 IGNORED. I RECENTLY RECEIVED AN UNRELATED RECALL FOR THIS CAR BUT WILL FIND ANOTHER DEALER 50 MILES AWAY TO FIX IT. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND DROVE ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,257.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. WHILE DRIVING AND ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,037.

VEHICLE SHAKES AND RATTLES INSIDE AT 35-40 MPH,ALSO DECREASED ACCELERATION! NOISY, UNCOMFORTABLE AND EMBARRASSING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HYUNDAI ELANTRA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE SUDDENLY MOVING BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE DEFECT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE ACCELERATING. ALSO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS PUT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE BEFORE SUDDENLY MOVING BACKWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BUT NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE DEFECT AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED. THIS IS STARTING TO HAPPEN DAILY. I HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE ON THIS SITE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE IT BECOMES A BIGGER PROBLEM. IT CAN CAUSE ACCIDENTS. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND ENTER HIGHWAYS IT'S A PROBLEM. THE CAR HESITATES AND REVS BEFORE ACCELERATING. *TR

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 EVENING THE SLIPPING GOT WORSE AND THE TRANSMISSION HESITATED GOING INTO REVERSE AND HAD A BIG PROBLEM SHIFTING UP HILLS. WITH A TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING NORMALLY AND POWER BEING AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THAT, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM DEVELOPED QUICKLY AND DID NOT PRESENT ITSELF AS ONE MIGHT EXPECT A FAILING TRANSMISSION TO DO. *TR
