I bought the car in May of 2018 with 93k miles. In less than a year, I started noticing the tranny would slip and them SLAM into gear, mostly while trying to get up to speed getting on the highway. I brought it to the dealer (100k mile warranty, right? WRONG; only for the original owner). Couldn't afford to get it rebuilt ($1200), so I had to put a used one into it ($250 tranny, $400 labor, $100 parts). The mechanic I used said it looks like it had been rebuilt once before.
I'm no race car driver, but this car is a wimp. I only drive about 7k/yr, but it's mostly highway and getting this car up to and maintaining highway speeds can be downright scary. This is my first AND last Hyundai.
