Sonata NF (2006-10) :: ESC Off Light Comes On - Rough Trans Shifting

Ok 34,000 miles here and twice in the last week while driving the ESC off light comes on and the button does not turn it on. Today when it happened the trans shifted a little rough once, like it missed a shift. If I turn off car and restart I am good. Spoke to dealer earlier in week and they want to reset my shift points or something again (several times).

Other than that the car runs great and my Kuhmo's are worn out, ughhh. Does this event get recorded and if so how long? No check engine lights.

2009 SE V6

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2005 - Transmission Fluid Low - Delay When Shifting In All Gears Intermittently

I have a 2005 2.5 vw jetta.

It has 150,000 miles....the cars been working just fine untill DEC of last year. I had the dealer check the transmission fluid and they said it was low....so they flushed and refilled the transmission oil...they didnt see any metal but that didnt fix the problem.....

Now i have the car not shifting correctly ....theres a delay when shifting in all gears but it is intermittent, sometimes it shifts hard and sometimes you can just baby the throttle and it wont shift as hard.....once on the freeway the car runs fine......but when coming to a stop you can feel the downshifting.....

I figured it has something to do with the valve body....my concern is the dealerships have quoted me 2000$ to replace the valve-body....the cars paid for and was wondering if i should just move onto a different jetta or fix this one?

If i fix the valve body will this jetta have the same issue later? Also i do have the vacuum pump leaking engine oil....not much can this be fixed while doing the valve body job???

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Shifting Very Rough - Transmission Fluid Check

Recently changed the transmission fluid in my 2011 Elantra. Used the fill plug to check fluid. Small steady stream was coming out. Closed it up and took it for a ride. Was shifting very rough. Put more in and it felt better. Was wondering if there is a better way to check the fluid? I've heard that the dealer may have a sensor, is this true?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: 2007 - Loud Valve Tap After Oil Changed

2007 Sonata GLS 2.4 liter, 145,000 mostly-highway miles.I have a P2187 OBD code, which means an upstream O2 sensor. It's on order, should be arriving in a few days. The sensor has been bad for about a month, but I just recently ordered it.BUT... now I have a fairly loud valve tap; this is tapping whether the engine is cold or hot. A few weeks ago I changed my oil; put in hi-mileage oil (Pennzoil maybe? I remember it was a gold container) and a Fram oil filter (I noticed a number of people on here saying to definitely not use Fram).

I checked the codes again (I was thinking maybe a camshaft position sensor) but I still only have the P2187.This model has a chain, not a belt. So a few questions: Could having a bad O2 sensor (and hence running lean) have caused the tapping?I was thinking of doing an engine flush, then putting in some Lucas along w/synthetic and a new filter.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Calipers Changed Now Rubbing Noise When Braking

I discovered a few weeks ago that my 2009 Sonata 2.4L SE had a sticking caliper on the rear driver's side. It had gone bad on the passenger side as well, but not as bad. I had the calipers, rotors, and pads replaced on the rear yesterday. As soon as that was done, I started hearing a noise when braking that sounded like a rubbing noise, almost like a long "sigh." It happened at any speed as long as I pressed the pedal far enough to bring the vehicle almost to a complete stop.

I originally thought the calipers weren't the right fit, but the parts I confirmed the parts I ordered (Nastra) through Rock Auto were correct. I've driven about 80 miles since then and nothing has changed. I didn't see anything wrong when I took the tire off, but I don't think this sound is normal. Taking it in to the mechanic tomorrow. Could it be a wheel bearing? Wrong parts?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Changed Brake Pads And Pedal Hits Floor?

So I took the pads off and saw pistons that push caliper against rotor were to far out to install new pads. (rear pads were still intact, both front pads were out when i pumped) So im pumped the brakes thinking it would reset them and alls it did was push the fronts out more.. I noticed fluid leaked out of the pistons after fully pushing them out.

After seeing that pushing the pedal only pushed them out and didn't reset them, i pryed them in with a C wrench. Was quite difficult but managed to do it. Note I only did this on the front pads..

Rear was just fine, piston went back in easily. I filled brake fluid fully and still does it - Now pedal hits the floor when i first hit it and seems very light when braking.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Ticking Sound At Startup For 1 To 2 Seconds - Filter Changed

I recently bought a 2006 Hyundai Sonata 3.3 V6. Had another issue related to the rear wheel, which I fixed. Today, I changed the oil filter on the car (along with the oil). I have heard this engine noise before, but with the cover off it appears a little louder. It's basically a ticking sound.

The engine uses no oil, and has no other leaks. It has some noise on startup for maybe 1-2 seconds (like a loud lifter or something, but it goes away in less than 2 seconds, and at the same time the oil light goes out). I changed the filter today because I was told that a leaky gasket could result in the Filter not retaining oil between starts, causes some minor knock for a few seconds.

But anyway, this other ticking noise seems to be regular, regardless of condition. I have heard some people say that some engine noise is normal for this engine, but how about this?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: ABS And ESC Off Light Would Come On Intermittently

About 2 years ago I had this issue with my ABS and ESC off light would come on intermittently. I took it to the local Hyundai dealer and they did something to correct it. I was under my 5yr/60k when they worked on it. Since then I have not had it light up until today after driving the car thru a car wash. I noticed it after i vacuumed and dried the car that these lights came back on. So down the road i pulled in the fill the gas tank and when i restarted the car the ABS and ESC off light did not come on..

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: ESC Off Light Comes On Intermittently On V6

The ESC OFF light comes on on my 2006 Sonata V6 only when I am driving on a smooth road at highway speeds. It does not happen for weeks in local city driving. The vehicle had the brake light recall work performed, so I don't know why this is happening and I suppose I'll have to go to the dealer to find out. It is now out of warranty, so I'm reluctant to take it there right now.

(This car has had a throttle position sensor replaced, accelerator position sensor replaced, an ignition coil failure,so I'm starting not to trust its reliability. It's not a lemon, but it has forced me to drive in the "limp home" mode at least every 18 months or so...)

I just want to like my Sonata again... What could be causing ESC OFF light?

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Rough Shifting From 1st To 2nd Gear In Low RPMs

My 2009 Accent has some very rough shifts from 1st to 2nd when I'm in the low RPMs.

Hyundai performed a transmission fluid flush and the other gears shift completely effortlessly. Is my tranny dying or what?

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Automatic Transmission Shifting Rough

I have an automatic 2010 Elantra Touring and I drive 115 miles a day (4 days a week) with it (currently have 38K miles). Part of the drive goes up over an 1100 foot foothill, so I change elevation of about 800 feet on the drive. Over the last two weeks, I have noticed the transmission shifting a little rougher and at higher RPMs (everywhere and not just going up the hill). The transmission fluid level looks good, but I am wondering if I need to change the fluid and filter? Or is there something else I need to look at? I need this car to last another three years and want to make sure I take care of it right. Currently every 3500 miles I change the oil and rotate the tires, but I am just not sure about the transmission.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Transaxle Fluid Drain

So we are planning on going on a 800 mile round trip in your 06 sonata this next week, and I am wanting to replace the transaxle fluid in it, seeing I dont think it has ever been changed, or at least not for a long time. Any tips on this? I have bought the vavoline transaxle fluid that is SPIII rated for hyundais.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Losing Power Steering Fluid

Filled up my power steering every 3 days this week. Finally climbed under the car and saw this. How difficult or expensive this will be to fix? Is it just replacing the rubber boot or is it more severe?

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Damage From Low Transmission Fluid Level

I recently discovered that during our last flush-fill of the tranny, the shop underfilled by about a quart. (or so they claim the quantity to be) I brought it back when noticing the transmission was hesitating to shift gears, especially when cold. Unfortunately, the car was driven for about 5 months at this level before the problem was discovered. Any long term damage?

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Transmission Shifting Rough And Seems Delayed - P0761 And P0781

My transmission has been shifting rough and seems "delayed" in shift response.

I can only go from gears 1-3 without revving up to 3500-4500 RPM's before it will go ino 4th.

It does not hold RPM in 4, 5, or 6 and instead goes down to the normal idle spot.

I had it diagnosed and the codes are

P0761 Shift solenoid C Performance or stuck off

P0781

1-2 shift error

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: ESC Off And Brake Light Keep Appearing Intermittently

ESC Off & Brake Light keep appearing intermittently. When I turn the car off and then back on, they go off. This has happened about 5 or 6 times in the last week.

I want to take it to the dealer but I just know I'll get a, "cannot duplicate problem" from them because it doesn't happen all the time. I'm going on a trip in two weeks and I don't want to run into problems on the road.
