2009 Hyundai Santa Fe Gear Shifter | Wont Start In Park | Not Going Into Park FIXED!

[@PeaceTrain1956]

This happened to me this morning. I moved my 2009 Santa Fe 3.3l and parked it. I went to start again and no start, would not go out of park. I s did a quick google search and found your video. 10 minutes later it was fixed. Thank you for your post!

[@nover999]

Thanks, same issue with my 2009. I would not have known where to start without your video.

[@sivasivanesan295]

I had the exact same issue with my 2008 Santa Fe. I watched your video and followed the steps. Great, it fixed the problem. Thank you so much for your help!

Hello from Costa Rica I bought a Santa Fe 2008 2.2 automatic, Diesel about 4 months ago and it has given me this problem all these months and I didn't know why, I even thought it was the starter, but now I know the reason why sometimes it didn't want to start, thank you very much, it has been of much help, I will check that tomorrow morning.

Thank you for posting this!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars and the time it would take me to find a quality focused mechanic.

[@Joe-lj3ir]

Thanks for the info. I changed the neutral safety switch in the winter and now have the same problem. Adjustment made . Thanks

[@joelbremer2471]

Worked just as you said...you make me want to be a better backyard mechanic.

[@superewink]

Great video, helped me out tremendously! Thank you so much and you are great at doing video, you could be on TV!

My 06 was juat doing this, P.B. blaster and so grease spray on the little arm connector and nuts and a little bit of working the shifter and poof she all good. Thanka for the vid. I assumed it was something to do with the cable but this vid cleared it right up. Another forum recommended lubing stuff up before adjusting it.

[@bobbysweeney5377]

I currently appreciate you very much sir. Once I fully diagnose and fix that shall be even more. Also, the Gordon Ramsay is spot on/ hilarious

[@everythingyukon]

Thanks man!

[@bobbysweeney5377]

[@Marcobrklyn]

Hey so I had this problem and spent tons of hours to figure out 1 thing. In the end of the shifter cable where it's attached to the Trans shift post. That piece is supposed to pivot with the cable. It was frozen. The Lil circle the screw goes through is supposed to be free to spin. Put lots of rust break & work it till it's free. Trust me when I say if it doesn't pivot with the movement of the cable you haven't fixed your stiff shifter problem. Don't mess with neutral safety switch. I wish I took a pic. @5.29 you'll see a green nut. When you disassemble the nut. The cable has pivot point inside of the opening.

[@precioushaynes2742]

I want to say thank you so much for this I will be getting up n going to my 2009 Santa Fe & trying this method today I feel very confident about it thank you so much again sir ❤

[@tomfaragalli3747]

Thank you for this video and great narration. My problem is the shaft that goes into the trany. So rusty and tight I could not move the shifter any more. Heat and lube help to move but still stiff. More use might loosen it.

[@speerzy11]

Thanks bud, my sante fe would only start in neutral, figured it was something electrical with my car starter, but I moved the shifter cable back slightly and everything is fine now. Lots of crappy roads where I live so my guess is it got banged out of positioning over the years.

[@cityislandfish-adventures]

Very helpful and informative excellent content and pretty funny 😁 as well keep up the good work!!!

[@salvi1111]

thank you gordon 😊 that help me to fix it..

[@Jes204]

Hi Zeke awesome video very instructive on how to fix car. Wil-

[@broncoman3864]

My 2007 Hyundai Sante Fe Was very hard to shift. I parked and put it in park. It wasvery hard to shift back into drive. The next day I tried starting it and had power inside but wouldn’t even turn over. It looked like it was in park but the censor didn’t work. Took the cover off the shifter and cleaned all the crap that has built up over the years and cleaned up and lubed it. under the car where the transmission cable is. Car started right up and shift great now!

[@cto138]

Nice Vid! thanks for sharing, Now did u made one on the high idle problems on them? I couldn't find one on your channel.

[@everythingyukon]

I didn't I got too busy. Someday I will though

[@stuartwagland-x1q]

Nice Work, Very helpful, cheers

[@robluv7847]

Super,Thank you a lot.for sharing the video

[@ChubbyButcher]

Excellent video. CB

[@tinytim71301]

Great video. Thanks.

[@softwaresignals]

I had that same issue (won't start in Park) but it was intermittent, sometimes it would not start, most of the time it would. Mine was a Hyundai Entourage 2008 (identical to Kia Sedona & similar to an '09 Santa Claus Fe powertrain like in the video). Odd that it was intermittent, I think. Wish I knew about this when I still owned it.

[@chucklemberg4968]

I'm having trouble with the neutral safety switch on a 2009 Hyundai Santa Fe. Whether I put a new one in, or can adjust the one that's already in there, I need guidance as to how to adjust/align one. Can you help? My favorite part of this video? "I'm just too lazy to go get it."

[@TheJebus12341]

Hey is there anyway I can contact you about this? I think I have the same issue everything shifts fine. But it won't start in park or neutral somtimea

[@chucklemberg4968]

@@TheJebus12341 How would you want to make contact? Phone call, email, something else?

[@Nintendofan184]

immensely helpful, thank you

[@everythingyukon]

You bet

[@mohamadali758]

If you don't mind, where u located. I need to bri my car to fix it , same problem. Thanks

[@angelwalker.]

You did not talk about what to do if the issue is the shifter on the transmission. I tried this a few weeks ago and worked but now the shifter is stuck again. Can the arm be replaced?

[@everythingyukon]

Yes

[@angelwalker.]

@@everythingyukon thank you. I took off the arm and the part under and put some penetrating oil and it helped. The arm is really to just move the actual metal part that rotates that goes into the transmission

[@meganvarty-abrosimoff7615]

Having a similar issue for 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe. Won't go into park, hard to shift gears, only starts in Neutral. We replaced the Neutral safety switch but that didn't help. Could this be the same issue for us? Seems my research suggests this or the shifting cable.

[@basht5899]

Thank you 😊

[@static.benzboii]

would this be simalar on a accent of 09?

[@slaveofallah703]

I got 2008 Hyundai Sonata v6 it had a starter problem I changed the starter myself and put new battery but yet it doesn’t crank nor start but it does make click noise and couple days ago the car started itself without the key

[@almministrys1659]

Why you think it happened in the first place and how do we fix the high idling

[@Tyler2Wheel]

I just replaced Neutral safety switch on my wifes 2017 Santa fe, she says now it has slightly higher rpm and difficult to put into drive... it started fine, I have to slightly adjust it back

[@almministrys1659]

How did you fix the high level???

[@ryanreacts6]

I have a 2008 Hyundai Santa Fe what would be different

[@everythingyukon]

Far as I know… same deal

[@renofelipe1076]

My 2007 hyundai santa fe shift gear stuck in to lower gear drive it won't get back in to parking position nor to neutral. And my key stuck into ready position I can't get it out even i press the key release

[@MicromiXStillMovie]

I have 2011 Manual Transmission it's same or different

[@everythingyukon]

Very different

[@charlesgoss1207]

I have a 2006 Hyundai Elantra stuck in 2 gear. I turned it on and put it into drive and started to move when it jumped forward and popped. And now it is stuck in 2nd gear.

Why is that

Not so much

[@andrewtoto4869]

Where’s the idle fixing video at

[@everythingyukon]

Sold that car, but I can make one when I get another, these are great little cars

[@ilovpzys]

I could apply this in my following situations? 1- The lever squeaking a lot, while changing gears, when you move the lever itself 2- The starter sometimes doesn't work until I shift into neutral, or sometimes I keep the key with the ignition held, and move the lever from "N" to "D" and the starter works normally again. Who can help me with this? I have the v6 model 2007

[@xolanikennethyekani]

My HYUNDAI TUCSON AUTOMATIC GEARBOX 4x4 gearbox stuck on Reverse gear dnt want to start

[@JockeyCake]

Great

[@ChubbyButcher]

Well I find I can get just get it to hit all gears park reverse neutral drive. After screwing with it for hours now it starts in park and hits drive.. I find once in awhile when putting it into park and shutting off . When we go start it sane problem. Poor poor mechanism . So now when it's in drive and we shift to park I slam it up hard with force. Guess what it starts no problem now. Years of rusting and slipping nut.. replace the nut with better threaded one.. so far so good. Pain in the but.

[@alexanderjerald6539]

Initially was it doing one click and won't start?

[@everythingyukon]

No

[@everythingyukon]

That sounds like a battery or ignition issue

[@robluv7847]
