Curious when everyone started noticing transmission problems? Mine’s at 6,000 miles, and I’m getting a weird revving when pulling out of the driveway, like it revs up but doesn’t move right away. Anyone else dealt with this?
Mine started acting up around 1600 km.

Is yours a hybrid? That could explain some differences.
Which year and model is it? Is it an SEL, Limited, or Calligraphy? And is it a hybrid?

It’s a 2024 Santa Fe SEL.

Got it, so not a hybrid? They have different transmissions, which can make a difference.
@Jesse
Yeah, it’s not a hybrid.

Gotcha. Hyundai should cover towing under warranty if needed. You can check for any error codes in the Bluelink app too. It might show what’s going on.
@Jesse
Uh, I feel kinda silly asking, but how do I check for that?

No worries! Just open the MyHyundai app, go to ‘Car Care,’ then select ‘Diagnostics’ and look for trouble codes. It’s pretty straightforward!
So it doesn’t move at all when this happens? Sounds like a definite transmission issue. I’d head to the dealer.

It revs for about 5-7 seconds, then it jerks and starts moving. Runs fine afterward, though.
@Palmer
Could be low transmission fluid or a torque converter issue. Either way, definitely take it to the dealer—it should be under warranty!
If it happens consistently, the dealer should check it out. This doesn’t sound normal.

Planning to call them on Monday.

Hope it goes smoothly and they sort it out without any hassle. Let us know how it goes!
@Scout
Will do! Fingers crossed it’s something minor. Thanks for the advice!
Ours had a major transmission failure at 1183 km.

Yikes Mine just isn’t as smooth as when I first got it a few months back. It’s frustrating!
