My 2007 Hyundai Elantra transmission may be shot at 70,000 miles. The garage man that I went to said that you can expect to get about 5 years from a Hyundai (60,000). What have others found? I’m wondering if my car will steadily decline and want to plan for the eventuality of having to buy anothe…

+1 to the previous comments. All too often, people buy a used car that did not come with maintenance records, and wind up buying a vehicle that has seen little or no maintenance. Or, some folks might buy a new car and then proceed to ignore vital maintenance. The end result is the same in both …

Your car should be good for many more miles and years if it wasn’t abused. Of course, this one might have been. Do you happen to have the service history on this car, especially on the transmission?

There was no service on the transmission prior to when I bought it (at 25,000 miles). The tires were a bit worn at 25,000 miles and I wonder if the previous owner really beat the car up somehow.

I had my car taken to an INDEPENDENT transmission shop that was recommended by a garage that is listed on this site. Good mention about the timing belt. I wondered if it was the thing that went but I didn’t lose power. That’s next on the list. The maintenance records show routine maintenance–lik…

My sisters Elantra has 170k+ miles on it and still going strong! About 90% are in town miles too.

Pretty much every car these days can easily reach 150k miles. 250k and above - While all cars can reach that…some require more repairs then others. I think 70k is way too low for a vehicle to be having problems. Either it was abused or it wasn’t maintained properly…or both.

I don’t know what “alternate gear across from ‘3’” means. The car hasn’t had a transmission fluid exchange - usually owners who keep current about maintenance do it at around 30k, so you bought it with too few miles on it for the previous owners to have done it, and since you say you don’t know the …

Shadow, I wonder if she doesn’t mean the “+ and -” gears some of the Hyundais had?

Yes, Dfrom. It’s the + gear. I was told that the fluid doesn’t have to be changed that often and changed it at 60000 miles. Thay may be the problem. I don’t think that the previous owner changed the fluid. On the other hand, if the transmission was faulty, there would been no way of knowing it un…

My car is at an independent transmission shop. No service history on the transmission–I bought the car at 25K miles.
