Why is Your 2012 Elantra’s Transmission So Important?

It's a type of car problem that’s not hard to notice. 2012 Hyundai Elantra transmission problems could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Hyundai Elantra transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or discover that your Elantra’s not even driveable.

2012 Hyundai Elantra Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Hyundai? Keeping your foot on the brake pedal or lightly but consistently pushing it down can lead to transmission problems. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Hyundai Elantra? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, 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? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2012 Elantra’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Hyundai Elantra? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Hyundai Elantra, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

You might even experience transmission failure.
