driveshaft shudder?

[ptstanton]

I have the exact same problem in my 2010 4.6 as described by tarche, which thankfully duplicated when a service tech from the dealer drove with me earlier this week. they wound up replacing the entire driveshaft assembly. I pick it up tomorrow and will report to the forum if there is not improvement. other threads on the forum addressing the issue report that Hyundai actually beefed up the hardware of the driveshaft following the TSB of May 2010, to the point where it may have solved the problem entirely. or not.. My vehicle was manufactured in March 2010, so it would have had driveshaft 1.0. Prior to taking it to the dealer (who has been great by the way) I asked Hyundai of USA if they did indeed beef up the driveshaft following the TSB. I got the bigtime brush-off. Anyone with this issue should bring it to the dealer for this fix, and not live with the substandard aspect of an otherwise terrific vehicle.

I had the exact same problem with my 2010 4.6. I took it in today and they are replacing the driveshaft and they also replaced the brake fluid.

At the risk of reviving an old thread -
I just got my 2010 4.6 sedan about a month ago and have noticed this same issue. Is there a fix that I can do on my own? I suppose my chances of getting it fixed under the TSB now is slim to none?

Inspect the shaft besting for excessive wear and replace as appropriate.

I assume you mean the shaft bearing, correct?

Yes. Autoincorrect on mobile strikes again, sorry!
