Major problems with our 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe including gas tank door latch needing to be replaced, car shaking uncontrollably, which the dealer diagnosed as a coil issue. The last problem led to the car being towed to the dealer. They are replacing the transmission due a failure of the car to accelerate and then lurch into gear, creating a very dangerous situation.
Uncommanded transmission downshift at various speeds. Downshifts occurs at unpredictable intervals and speeds, occasionally leaving a check engine light illuminated. The downshift events are instantaneous but, while startling, the vehicle is controllable. However, at highway speeds, speed loss can be as high as 20 mph, which has the potential for severe rear-end collisions, as well as, possible control issues. These event have occurred numerous times. Dealer has been unable to correct the problem.
