Default Engine Flare

2011 Touring A/T, noticed an engine flare (rpms going up) during some shifting today. Seems to happen under light loads. Car was well warmed up after I noticed this. There are no TSBs for this problem on this model but I did notice previous Hyundai's have had this issue. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

same here. it seems to happen almost all the time now shifting in to 3rd gear(or 4th, i can't remember as it's my wife's car and i drive it infrequently) during normal speeds (not fast). it's going in for an oil change on monday and we'll see what the dealership says as i mentioned it to them...

Yes, seems to happen mostly between 3rd and 4th.
I will be very interested to hear what the dealer has to say.

an absolutely stunning development! dealership just called to inform me that they will be installing a new transmission!? when i asked specifically why, i was told it's just one of those things? they are ordering the transmission, which should take a week to arrive. then they will need one day to install.

this is coming off the heels of a blown head gasket just 4 months ago! shaking my head and thinking i have a lemon on my hands. thankful for the warranty but pretty sure i am done with hyundai's...

Thats crazy! My car did something different today. While shifting between 3-4 while going up a hill the engine just kept revving, like I had a manual trans with a slipping clutch. This is not a good sign. 10 year 100K warranty, we might need every bit of it.
