Example complaints

“I recently purchased this car with only 35000 miles on it, and the 5th gear had already been grinding. Absolutely ridiculous for a 2011 car to have tranny issues that early on. I then took it to Hyundai to get it replaced under warranty and they replaced it. But there are 100s of pages of forums that have the same issue, now with only 43000 miles I can feel 5th starting to grind on upshifts again... I dont know what to do because I dont want to replace a transmission every year.”
