My car has 85000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
This was a known recall on many Hyundai Sonatas in this year. There is a technical service bulletin issued: TSB 13-EE-001. Your car should have the 100k warranty.
I would recommend taking this to the dealer to have them replace under warranty. However, if you’d like a second opinion on this, consider YourMechanic, as one of our mobile technicians can come to your home or office to service your vehicle.
