Major issue with the new 8 speed transmission for the R Spec

[Dragon64]

This is NOT good

Car did it to me AGAIN ......

Raced in gear when I downshifted to 3rd - and slammed HARD into gear on the highway.........causing the car to chirp it's tires.

No fault code or lights coming on

and the car rides fine -

but this should not be happening

I'm calling Hyundai

then I'm seriously considering trading the car in

So are you saying the tranny slipped?? The car won't read any codes if this is the case, and sorry to hear about the issue. It is the 1st year of a new product, so kinks are possible. Also, just take it to the dealer, the warranty is ridiculous on the powertrain.

You left out the speed you were traveling. Any issue if you leave it in auto mode?

auto mode is tolerable - minor issue if i get on it

Im not a happy camper

If you can duplicate this for the dealer, it should be an easy fix. If not, enjoy your next new car. Personally I would give the car an Hyundai a chance.

Still have the car - just driving it in regular mode - and staying away from tiptronic

So far - so good

guess I will give the car and Hyundai a chance after all

I hope they come out with a supercharged or turbo charged version of the Tau engine.

Rumors are going around about a 5.5 liter twin turbo Tau engine producing over 600 hp for Hyundai's new M5 fighter in a few years - with a base price around $80 - $90,000

Hyundai won't confirm this of course - but i am willing to bet that it happens
