Hello Ronald Reed,
VERY interesting ... Welcome to FIXYA...
Sorry to hear about your Santa Fe
I HAVE seen similar issues before...
but never with the loss of "GEARS"
Everything else seems to be good. I would be
thinking about having an EXHAUST shop look
for a loose MUFFLER baffle or collapsing
CATALYTIC CONVERTER...
A rusted or loose part inside can COMPLETELY
block EXHAUST OUTFLOW...
It is not a COMMON trouble... but certainly worth
the look (while you are mobile (my opinion...
RATHER than WASTING time & money
buying A WHOLE lot of UNNECESSARY oxygen
sensors ( get mistakenly replaced )...
(( from "FREE" code readings )).\
Just
((( really difficult to resolve when you are immobile ))).
~~
CATALYTIC Converter prices have come WAY DOWN... but exhaust shops are loath to admit it... (my opinion)...

2005 HYUNDAI SANTA FE 3 5L V6 Muffler Resonator RockAuto
Hope this helps...

I suggest you get one of those manuals people get nowadays to do it yourself.. My nephew use it to repair my car and it's totally repaired now. Here's the website he bought it from.

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.

yup, it's mostly the same for every car, some longer, but it won't hurt to change it a bit early
