Hard shift on 2016 santa fe sport

only 35k on trani and now having a hard shift into 2nd when first driving in the morning. The revs go up and car feels like trani is slipping for a sec then going hard into gear Went to dealer but car would not do it the first morning waiting now for another check. Anyone else having this problem?

 

I have the same problem. 81,000 miles. Very hard shift from 1st to 2nd. Usually happens when the cars first driven. Sometimes the shift is quite violent.

 

What if anything did you do to fix this having same issue!!

 

How did you make out with this issue? We seem to be having same issue

 

Anyone find a cause and cure for this?

 

No we have not yet . Have found out in our case that you shut the car off and restart it , it goes away!! Waiting for it to happen when dealership is open and we are close by!!!

 

I have 80,000klm on a 2015 Sport and this has only happened a couple of times over the last 3-4 months. Only happened after I backed out of garage first thing in the morning and shifted into Drive and slowly moved forward, then a surprising hard shift going from 1st to 2nd. Asked the dealer about it and he suggested it sounded like it might be related to cool trans fluid on a cold start (it never gets much below 0C or 32F where I live). Apparently trans fluid was dirty when they checked at my regular service and they suggested a trans flush and fresh fluid re-fill (controversial I know) and I did that yesterday. Will see if it happens again with fresh fluid.

 

We have not done the flush , honestly we feel it’s a computer issue , because once we shut the car off and start it it’s fixes it , it never happens after we have the car running only at start up
Call me. 717-926-5372 we can discuss more

 

I suspect you’re right, computer issue rather than fluid, but my fluid was due anyways so I did that and will monitor. My couple of occurrences happened for only a single 1-2 shift when starting out in the morning, not continuing hard 1-2 shifts until I turn the vehicle off to re-set the computer. I have not experienced having to shut the car off to correct this. It was just a single hard shift and then completely normal operation.

 

I have a 2001 XG300 5-speed autotrans with similar problems. P072 code. Shaft output speed sensor. If you have no codes may God help you cause the dealer probably won't

 

We have had the same problem with our 2016 santa fe from day one and the dealer cant replicate it. frustrating!!

 

Has anyone found out what this problem is ? I am now having it also and the dealership wants to say it's the transmission. They want me to replace it ? Any updates would be great.

 

I have this exact problem with my 2017 SE almost 60k on the dash. I’ve had the vehicle for nearly two years and it started towards the end of this past winter. Initially, it would only have the hard shift after a cold shift, and only the first time it shifted from 1st to second. After that, normal shifts. It didn’t do it every morning but it would only do it in the morning.

Then about a month ago, my wife had just got home from a 30ish mile drive and I took it to get gas. It hard shifted from 1st to 2nd every time I came to a stop on my way to the gas station. After getting gas and starting it back up I headed to the store and there were zero hard shifts. A few days later, the same type of situation, it had just been driven for 30 or so miles. I then took it to the store and it hard shifted 1st to 2nd all the way there. Smooth-shifting on the way home though.
I have found zero results on my research of this problem. I can not afford to take it to a shop to get it checked. There are no dash lights on and my home obd2 scanner isn’t finding any error or pending codes so I’m at a loss. It’s a sealed transmission so all I can think of is a hard failure of the transmission (but not really or it would do it all the time) or some sort of electric solenoid (maybe there is a computer problem at the start that causes the initial hard shift or continuing hard shifts until the vehicle is restarted and resetting the computer). The next time it happens I plan on pulling over immediately and restarting the vehicle to see if the issue continues.

Please update if you find anything out, and I will do the same.

 

Had to get a new transmission and just got the car back today. So far so good. I did take the problem to corporate and they helped pay for the new transmission. Let's just hope that's what it was and not the computer.

 

Had the same problem and took it to the dealership. They said everything was good but we need to warm the car up cause the transmission needs to warm up. It has been working good so far no more problems.

 

I have this exact same issue with my 2016 Hyundai Sante Fe Sport.
