Questions About 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Hyundai? 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.
  • How much can my Hyundai tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. Defying your Santa Fe Sport towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Santa Fe Sport is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Santa Fe Sport's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 Santa Fe Sport’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Hyundai's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Hyundai Santa Fe Sport? Yes. Hyundai Santa Fe Sport transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
