I have a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe it has been in the shop three times for the same thing, when you stick it in gear, it has a loud clunking thud going from park to reverse to drive. The dealer says that there is nothing wrong with it even though they can duplicate the problem when you first start it. Now the kicker is that the dealer continues to say all the tests from their diagnostic machine comes out to be within specs. WE have done the recommend transmission flush at a cost to us of $150.00 an still the same trouble. Does anyone have any similar complaints or comments?
