Problem overview

Some Hyundai Elantra owners report experiencing transmission issues, such as slipping and difficulty engaging in drive, which can lead to further damage if not addressed promptly. These problems often include hard shifting between gears, and it is crucial for owners to contact their dealership if the vehicle is still under warranty to have these issues diagnosed and repaired at no cost. For those whose vehicles are no longer under warranty, seeking a thorough diagnosis from a reputable independent transmission shop is recommended. Additionally, regular maintenance, such as changing the transmission fluid every 30,000 miles, is essential to prevent these issues. Owners should also be aware that driving with transmission problems can pose safety risks, including sudden loss of power or delayed acceleration response. Therefore, timely attention to transmission concerns is vital for the safety and longevity of the Hyundai Elantra.
