Santa Fe Whine (Transmission?)
We bought a Santa Fe new in Dec 04 it now has 60,000 + miles had the Transmission Flushed and serviced at 45,000 miles and just as it was coming up on 60000 the Crank sensor decided to call it a day and no start so while doing that i had the timing belt , all the pulleys Hydrolic Adjuster and water pump and alt ps aircondition Belt and teninor changed The had them put in New NGK platnum plugs and NGK plug wires (as long as your that far into it might as well do it all
about a week after all the service work was done and it was running great we thought we noticed a Whine when pulling away from a light but it would go away after you got speeded up
today we took a road trip 350 miles and when we pulled off for gas we started hearing it again everytime we accerated it seems to quit at around 40mph
Since Automotive is my background (no i dont turn wrenches any more getting to old and cars more complicated but do all the work on my wifes toy (65 Ford 6cyl Mustang ) I Know the reasons why we have service maintance required things and i really try to make sure its all done when do
Has anyone ever hear of this or have an idea what i might be ?? in Dec will be 60 Months
i work on the road so i need a reliable Car for my wife and this has been a real good car for her and uptill this Crank sensor thing has never given us issues Just keep it clean Change the oil and filters and Dont beat it just normal driving

a private repaire shop (that i have done work with for years and is quite good)
one thing was that i checked the fluid about a week after the flush and noticed that it was LOW they gave me a qt and i installed most of it but was unsure if i might not be overfilling it so had the wife take it back to dealership and finished adding what i had plus at least another 1/2 qt if not more
this morning we drove the car and did not hear the noise till we were on our way home but was not as loud as yesterday
and that was one thing we have noticed is that sometimes it is not there and then again other times it is
There any leaking at the transmission. Kind of strange to have the trans be low.
its NOT the transmission or Power steering
it is the Airconditioning
wife discovered it when she turned on the AC it made the noise but did not get any cooling
Clutch is quick cycleing so added a little freon (R134a) and then the clutch stays on added about 10 oz air works now but have low pressures 15 on the low side and 50 on the high side
now im no expert on this so i quit there
talked to some people that new what there doing and was told that even low on Freon i should higher high side pressure
he thinks the expansion valve is stuck causing this
Chyrsler uses this same style and he said he replaces a fair amount
so have one ordered Hundia wants $142 NAPA was a Lot les about half that
So far, even with all the rain we've had lately, problem hasn't surfaced again but everytime it rains, the car is pulled into the driveway and allowed to run about 20 minutes. Maybe that's helping but it sure burns a lot of gas.
Guess I'll have to make an appointment with the dealer and will keep the site posted on outcome.

An electrical short/computer/sensor problem
Ignition /battery/problem
Fuel pump/line problem
Have you run completely out of gas before? That could cause a fuel blockage from sucked up gunk from the bottom of the tank, but it wouldn't answer why only in the rain.
Good Luck
Have you guys check with the dealer?
