I took my 2012 Sonata GLS into the dealer for a whining sound that had progressively gotten worse over about a month. They ran a diagnostic and advised that my serpentine belt needed replacing - they said it was "glazed" and it was causing the whining sound. $186 later, I was advised that my transmission needed replacing and it was causing the the whining sound. Since then, I have noticed sluggish acceleration at first and second gears before the sound goes away. I have an appt for a transmission replacement on Monday. I purchased a third-party extended service warranty when I bought the car certified used from the dealer and that will cover the cost of the transmission replacement.
I bought my car in Feb 2013 certified used from the dealer with 37k miles. I put 30k on it and I didn't expect to hear that I needed a new transmission. Really?
