Automatic transmission blockage

Hyundai Santa Fe 2012  41500 miles
When turning the engine off in Neutral, the automatic transmission blocked, not letting me change to P. I unlocked it by pressing the button and the brake at the same time. I was then not able to remove the key. Why did this happen?

Hi, I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4 2010, the same thing happened to me and I noticed the stoplight was not working, which meant that the brake switch was damaged. I then changed it and the problem was solved. I hope it helps.

Automatic transmission and turbo failures

Hyundai Santa Fe 2009  116000 miles
A full repair was made to my car's automatic transmission but, since then, I've been noticing that, after driving for a while, especially when it is along an inclined road, the second gear is suddenly put and it cannot be changed. In order to make it work properly again, it is needed to stop the vehicle completely and only then continue driving without the problem. I have also taken the turbo to be checked and have been informed that it is a bit distorted so it needs to be either repaired or replaced. How much time do you think my turbo can still work? Is it better to repair or replace it? In case it has something to do, the car has not lost its power. Thank you!

Engine noise when starting

Hyundai Santa Fe 2010  20000 miles
I own a Santa Fe 2010, engine v6 3.5 fuel, and when starting it in the morning or after 10 hours of being stopped, the engine makes a continuous "clip clap" noise. After three minutes of warming the engine, the noise disappears. I was told there must be a failure in the camshaft, what do you think about it? Is it something else?

The problem is the oil, which you should change to a synthetic one.

Problems starting,idling & often losses power while driving

Hyundai Santa Fe 2002 2.7 liter 136632 miles
The Diagnostic results from auto zone states that ALL cylinders are misfiring. I replaced the spark plugs, wires, & coil packs all within the past 6-8 months ago. I have recently noticed a small amount of engine oil inside the spark plugs compartment. I was told it sojnds like the intake Manifold gaskets & rings. Will that fix the issue of it running poorly? Any help is greatly appreciated.
