What happens if I "ride" my Hyundai's brakes?

Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.

What can I tow in a Hyundai?

Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. Defying your Elantra towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Elantra is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

Does my Elantra's transmission fluid need to be inspected?

Maintaining your Hyundai Elantra transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Hyundai, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Hyundai Elantra?

Yes, your Hyundai Elantra can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Elantra ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. Hyundai Elantra transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood.
