We have a 2003 hyundai santa fe and recently after engine warms up or is hot outside it will shift really hard(bucking feeling)then on occasion it will stick in first gear. we now have had it in the dealer repair shop for 3 days and they cannot find the problem.( no check engine light comes on)HELP!!! Thank you

Answer
Hello Lisa,
It is really hard to find that type of problems especially with no check engine light.Since it only happens when it is hot, it must be related to transmission fluid pressure.Your problem might be one of the pressure soleniods. Have them check all the solenoids,transmission fluid condition and main pressure.
