What are the reasons behind sudden loss of power in Hyundai Tucson due to transmission failure?

Occasionally, my Tucson loses power unexpectedly while driving, and I suspect it might be a transmission-related issue. What typical transmission problems cause sudden power loss in Hyundai Tucson models in Pakistan, and how can I diagnose them?

Sudden power loss related to transmission failure may stem from:

Torque converter malfunction: If the torque converter clutch fails, power won’t transmit properly, causing loss of acceleration.

Slipping transmission: Excessive slipping can make the vehicle feel like it’s losing power.

Transmission control issues: Electrical o r software faults may put the transmission in “limp mode,” severely reducing power.

Mechanical damage: Broken gears o r internal transmission damage will reduce power transfer.

Recommended action:

Scan for error codes and transmission warning lights.

Inspect torque converter and transmission internals if needed.

Check for transmission fluid leaks o r contamination.
