“Changing gears when the gear shift let go . I had no more gears couldn't drive. Turns out the shifter rod goes into the transmission and is held in place with a shear pin. Shear pin broke I had to replace transmission pins are not supposed to break according to a Hyundai mechanic. But lately they have had a few vehicles with the same problem I think this should be a recall. It cost me 900 because of a pin that's not supposed to break. Thank you for listening . I hope you can do something about it. Thank you.”
