Had the fluid flushed . same problem. Doug Williams
SOURCE: Hyundai Santa Fe 2005 won't shift into first gear
Most likely the o-ring seal between the torque converter and the transmission is going bad. Get that transmission rebuilt pronto before serious damage is done! But first, have a mechanic drop the transmission pan and look for signs of a very thin silvery film coating the inside of the pan. If found, then the transmission definitely will have to be rebuilt, and the torque converter will also have to be replaced since embedded metallic particles in the old torque converter will eventually come loose, due to wear of the clutch plates within the torque converter, and eat up the rebuilt transmission. Now, here is the deal once the transmission has been rebuilt:
Change the transmission fluid and filter once a year -- no matter what! If you do this, then you should never have any more problems with the transmission.

Hello
The
Engine and Automatic Transmission (not applicable to manual
transmissions) in this vehicles drive train are fully
electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM and TCM (Power
Train Control Module, Transmission Control Module). When a problem
like this or other drive-ability related problems occurs the computer
stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions
to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and
MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory,
to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned
with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must
perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the
problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED
TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD
EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. Also always
check fuel pressure for correct spec for your make and engine type.
