Also, check the level of the transmission fluid. The instructions are in the owners manual.

The Tucson has had many transmission issues. Be sure you ask your dealer for help in case you qualify for a recall or technical service bulletin, or the 2016 “fix.” Consumer Reports had the fix applied to their Tucson and had mixed results.
