2016 Hyundai Tucson complaints

THIS VEHICLE, AS OTHER 2016 AND 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSONS, HAS A PROBLEM WITH SMOOTH AND SAFE ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP. THERE IS A SPUTTER, HESITATION THAT HAPPENS EACH TIME, SOMETIMES STRONGER THAN OTHERS. IF YOU WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE SPUTTER IS ENOUGH TO PLACE YOU IN POTENTIAL DANGER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER IN THE 86001 ZIP CODE. WE WERE TOLD THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE 2016-17 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS NOR MADE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE SORRY THAT WE DON'T LIKE THE VEHICLE BUT THEY CAN'T SATISFY EVERYONE. I HAVE THOSE EMAILS TO FORWARD TO YOU WHEN NEEDED.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND CAR WILL DANGEROUSLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN COLD

WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK DOESN'T MOVE OR SOMETIMES HESITATES A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IF SOMETIMES THE CAR MOVES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T YOU CANT JUDGE TO SAFELY SWITCH LANES, MERGE ON TO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS, TURN ETC. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. HYUNDAI BLAMES IT ON THE "SPECIALIZED ECO TRANSMISSION" THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AUG 2016.

CAR HESITATES WHEN STOPPED AND MAKING A TURN. CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE RECEIVED NHITSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628. WE HAVE HAD TWO CALLS WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO SATISFACTION> MY WIFE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS WHEN CAR HESITATED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

MY CAR TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING WITH NO INDICATORS LIGHTING UP. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT FOR OIL CHANGE CLOSER TO MY WORK; BUT HAD TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO KNOCK AGAIN NO INDICATORS CAME ON. I FINALLY GET TO A DEALERSHIP FOR KIA AND AGENT TOLD ME THEY HAD TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE PAST CARS LIKE 2014,2015,2016 ALL HAD ENGINE TROUBLE. THEN TOLD ME ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND I SHOULD PARK IT TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE . I TOLD HIM BUT CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. BOUGHT IT IN 2016 BRAND NEW; BUT BECAUSE OF MY NEGLIGENCE OF GETTING THE OIL CHANGE ON TIME; I HAVE TO COVER MY OWN REPAIRS.---AGAIN NO INDICATOR TELLING ME ITS OUT OF OIL OR RUNNING HOT CAME ON.

SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2015 THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE I AM DRIVING THE MESSAGE "BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING! PLEASE USE THE SYSTEM WITH ENGINE RUNNING" AT HYUNDAI OF LOUISVILLE IN DIXIE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LATEST TIME IT HAPPENED 11/30/17 WHILE DRIVING IT FOR OIL CHANGE TO HYUNDAI OXMOR I ASKED TO HAVE THAT MESSAGE CHECKED THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. THE 3 TIMES I AM DRIVING (HIGHWAY AND STREET), SO THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN IT QUIT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT OFF LEASE HYUNDAI (7948 NARCOOSSEE RD, ORLANDO, FL 32822). WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (WESTSIDE HYUNDAI, 1672 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32210) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED REGARDING THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIR BAG WAS FOR A 2015 HYUNDAI AND WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO NOT BEING ORIGINAL PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR STATIONARY, THE CAR HESITATES, ALMOST SEEMS TO CHOKE, AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD WITH A BURST WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS HARD TO ANTICIPATE WHETHER IT WILL MOVE OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN. ONCE MOVING THE CAR SEEMS TO OPERATE AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED IN AN EARLIER RECALL (AUGUST 2016). A SOFTWARE "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD, I FELT THERE WAS SOME SMALL NOTICEABLE POSITIVE CHANGE. HOWEVER, ANY EARLY INDICATION OF IMPROVEMENT HAS NOW BEEN LOST. IT IS DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT THE CAR MAY CHOOSE TO GO OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS EXTREMELY OFTEN - ALMOST DAILY. WHILE I SELECTED A DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW, IT WAS ONLY TO SATISFY THE FORM'S REQUIREMENTS.

DCT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BUCK, HESITATE AND SHAKE WHEN VEHICLE PROCEEDS FROM A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

I HAD TAKEN MY TUSCON IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR ALL THE SAME ISSUES EVERY TIME (1) DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHILE CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON IN THE CAR (2) NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE RPM'S REVVING HIGH BEFORE FINALLY JERKING INTO GEAR AND TAKING OFF AND (3) JERKING WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AND I PRESS THE GAS. ALL 3 TIMES, THE "REPAIR" WAS EXPLAINED TO ME AS A "COMPUTER UPDATE". THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN THE ISSUES WOULD RESUME. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THIS IS HOW THE DCT WORKS. THEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL BEING ISSUED AND I THOUGHT "OH YAY! THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I CAN TAKE IT IN THIS ONE LAST TIME AND I'LL BE GOOD TO GO!" AFTER ONLY ONE DAY WE WERE BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES. THE SERVICE DEPT ONCE AGAIN SAID THAT "UNFORTUNATELY, COMPUTER UPDATES WILL BE A NORMAL THING FOR THIS DCT SYSTEM" ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?! THIS IS NOT NORMAL! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT EVERY TIME MY CAR STARTS STALLING WHILE I AM CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE MY SON, MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE SERIOUS INJURY, IF NOT DEATH, THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN FOR A "COMPUTER UPDATE"?? THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I TRY DRIVING IT IN SPORT MODE ALL THE TIME OR USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE HESITATION AND/OR STALLING AND JERKING. IF I WANTED TO SHIFT, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A MANUAL. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, I WANT TO GO. I DON'T W

PROBLEMS WITH THE DCT TRANSMISSION. VIBRATION AND CHOPPY SHIFTING FROM A STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM SLOW SPEED. AT TIMES THE TUCSON WILL ALSO SURGE SUDDENLY ,FOR A SECOND OR TWO, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, - AT A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SLOT. COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS IN FRONT OF ME. TAKEN IN FOR SERVICING SEVERAL TIMES. TOLD BY AUTO DEALER AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE, THAT THIS IS JUST HOW THE DCT WORKS. NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. NO RE-CALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS THAT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. HYUNDAI CASE NUMBER 10748512, 11/6/17.

BOUGHT THE CAR AT APPROX. 8K MILES. NOW JUST OVER 18K MILES, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 55MPH, DESPITE THE RIMS REVVING TO 5K-6K. THEN LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING. STOPPED AND SAT FOR 5 MIN TO GET TO GO AWAY. RESTARTED AND STILL TOOK ABOUT 2-3 MIN TO GET CAR UP TO 75MPH. IN THE CITY, MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP. RPMS WOULD REV AND REV, BUT NO MOVEMENT UNTIL AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. WAS TOLD WHEN PURCHASED THAT THIS VEHICLE YEAR HAD RECALL THAT WAS FIXED, BUT WHEN WE PUT VIN INTO NHTSA SITE, TOLD IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL. IT'S POSSIBLE EITHER THE CONTAINMENT OF THE RECALL NET WAS NOT WIDE ENOUGH, OR THE CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT YET ADEQUATE. EITHER WAY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRUST A NEW CAR TO GO WHEN I PROMPT IT TO. TRANSMISSION IS VERY TOUCHY IN THIS ECO MODEL. I HOPE TO SEE ROBUST CORRECTIVE ACTION BY HYUNDAI, OR A DIFFERENT,SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE POWER TRAIN UTILIZED. OTHERWISE, FOR SAFETY, I SHOULD NOT NEED TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE IT BACK. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I HOPE THAT MORE OF THESE CARS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING MY TUCSON 1.4 T 2016 MODEL, WHEN ACCELERATING CAR JUMPS AND WHEN YOU APPLY BREAKS TO COME TO A STOP....IT STARTS MAKING NOISE AND JUMPING AS IF ITS GOING TO STALL. WHEN TURNING TO A STREET THE OTHER DAY, I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE...ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND ONE IDIOT CAME WITHIN FEET OF T BONING ME. I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT FINALLY MOVE IN A RAPID MANNER AND THEN STARTED MAKING METAL SOUNDS. I HAD MY WIFE, SON AND MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAR...THOUGHT WE WOULD DIE. SINCE LEASING IT MARCH 2016 BRAND NEW, THE DEALER CONTINUES TO CLAIM IT CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEMS. YET WHEN I GO ON SITES IN THE INTERNET THERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR AND I CANNOT GET ANYBODY TO FIX THE CAR. PLEASE HELP. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND MY WIFE IS 57. WE HAVE TWO BABY GRANDCHILDREN 6 AND 7, AND MY SON IS 16. THE CHILDREN BELONG TO MY OLDEST SON AND HIS WIFE. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY SON TO HS EVERY DAY AND AM TRYING TO TEACH HIM HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY. WE HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HURT WITH THE MALFUNCTIONS OF THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LATER STARTED TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JENKINS HYUNDAI OF OCALA (1602 SW COLLEGE RD, OCALA, FL 34471), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT AND EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHEN EITHER STARTING OR SPEEDING UP. ASIDE FROM THE DCT LAG ISSUE, IT MAY REV UP TO 4500 W/O MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITH LIGHT ACCL PRESSURE. IT DOESN'T LIKE TO START MOVING BELOW ~40F AND ACTS JERKILY. THE 1.5-2 SEC LAG MAY, OR MAY NOT, HAPPEN EVEN AFTER THE 2 ECM FIXES. IT IS UNSAFE TO EXPECT IT TO BEHAVE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AS A RESULT - YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL MOVE OR HOW FAST, OR WHEN. TO QUOTE RALPH NADER, UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, THOUGH NOT PREDICTABLY, SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT.

THE CAR JERKS WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS AFTER A HALF AN HOUR. THE STEERING WHEELS TURNS LOUD VEERING EITHER HARD LEFT OR RIGHT. THE BATTERY TURN AN ALARM AFTER TWO/THREE MINUTES.

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS STILL DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE AFTER I HAD THE RECALL DONE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE LAST YEAR. BELOW 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, JERKS AND HESITATES. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC FOR 5 SECONDS WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT'S TYPICAL FOR A DCT. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH DCTS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES.

TRANSMISSION COMPUTER RESET RECALL - PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 13, 2016. DROVE IT TO L.A. A FEW WEEKS AND NOTICED ACCELRATION WOULD BECOME HESITANT IN TRAFFIC AFTER 15-20 MINS IN SLOWER TRAFFIC. PROBLEM WAS VERY PRONOUNCED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OF 15-20 TRAVEL TIMES. SO, TRIED TO GIVE ENOUGH SPACE IN BETWEEN ME AND CAR AHEAD SO THAT I WOULDN'T RIDE BRAKE OR INCH FORWARD. AT SCHEDULED SERVICES INFORMED SERVICE TECH ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK. THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AND COMPUTER RESET TO HANDLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.IN MARCH/APRIL 2017. STILL NOTICED THE HESITATION PROBLEM AND NOTED THIS TO TECH AT SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. OCT 8, 3 SISTERS AND NIECE WENT TO APPLE HILL AND AFTER 35 MINS GOING UPHILL ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON WINDY ROAD, TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED AND COMPUTER DASHBOARD ALERTED ME TO PULL OVER SAFELY . I PULLED CAR OVER TO ABLE APPLE ACRES FARM AND WE LET TRANSMISSION COOL FOR ABOUT 45 MINS. WHEN WE GOT OUT THE CAR IT SMELLED HORRIBLE LIKE BURNT CLUTCH SMELL. WE GOT BACK IN STARTED IT UP AND WAS GOING TO GO UP THE HILL A MILE. IMMEDIATELY BURNT CLUTCH SMELL WAS EVIDENT AFTER 3-4 MINUTES AND CAR WAS HESITANT AND LURCHING FORWARD WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THAT WHEN WE ALL NOTICED THE SHUDDERING FEELING WHEN I WOULD LET OF THE BRAKE TO GIVE IT GAS AS THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACK SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE GEAR ENGAGED. LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL OUT LIKE IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. VERY JER

WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT, I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE (CAR WAS IN SPORT MODE) INTO THE LEFT TURN TO MOVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT BEFORE ON-COMING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. I REQUESTED SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATOR PEDAL APPLICATION TO PROCEED THROUGH THE TURN, LIKELY 3/4 THROTTLE WHEN SUDDENLY THE 7SPD DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. LUCKILY I WAS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND TURN AND NO LONGER IN DANGER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE ENGINE WAS HOVERING RIGHT AROUND 6700RPM AND APPEARED TO BE HITTING A SOFT LIMITER AND ULTIMATELY REFUSED TO SHIFT. I LEFT OFF THE GAS COMPLETELY AND PROCEEDED TO RE-APPLY THE THROTTLE WHEN FINALLY THE ENGINE REVS CAME BACK DOWN AND RE-ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR RATHER ABRUPTLY. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE CAR APPEARED TO RUN AND SHIFT NORMALLY WITHOUT ISSUE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT WITH THE TUCSON. I'VE VISITED THE DEALER DOCUMENTING PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH A LACK OF ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING, BUT HYUNDAI DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX. THE CAR HAS ALL CURRENT RECALLS AND TSBS PERFORMED RELATING TO THE PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION.

ON MY BACK FROM DROPPING KIDS AT SCHOOL, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY AS NORMAL WHILE STATIONARY THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE LOST POWER AND I QUICKLY REMOVE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLY THE PRESSURE AGAIN THE CAR THEN PICKED UP AGAIN, LUCKILY THE ONCOMING SLOWED DOWN, IT COULD BE WORSE AS I STOOD A RISK OF BEEN T-BONED, THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE 19 OF SEPTEMBER 2017. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE TODAY ON THE 28 OF SEP 2017 ON MY WAY TO AT THE JUNCTION TO JOIN THE MAIN ROAD WHILE STATIONARY, IT LOST POWER, AGAIN I COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONE, SECOND INCIDENT ON MY WAY FROM WORK. I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY WHEN STATIONARY.

AFTER GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED. IT WILL STALL AND HAS ALMOST LED TO 2 REAR END ACCIDENT AND ONE SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT AS A RESULT BECAUSE IT CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC. AT TIMES THE ENTIRE CARE WILL SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY OR WILL NOT ENGAGE AND RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN DRIVE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OVER 4 TIMES AND FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS WITHOUT RESOLUTION IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE AND LESS THAN 12,000 MILES BUT THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND SAY THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AS I FOUND OUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON A CITY STREET AND HAVE BEEN STATIONARY FOR A MOMENT AND THEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO DRIVE FORWARD OR TURN, THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER AND WILL NOT DRIVE FORWARD. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND NEVER TURNS OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING AND CAN SHARE IF NEEDED. I HAVE SHARED THE SAME INFORMATION WITH THE DEALER, OWNER, AND MANUFACTURER WITHOUT RESOLUTION.

VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED, CAUSING SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION AT LOW SPEED CAUSES THE WHOLE CAR TO SHAKE HORRIBLY.

THE BEST CAR I EVER OWNED WAS A 2001 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN I WAS SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR IN MAY 2016, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK TO HYUNDAI AND PURCHASED MY 2016 TUCSON. ONLY SYNTHETIC OIL HAS BEEN USED SINCE PURCHASE AND ALL SERVICE BELOW, EXCEPT THE 06/14/17 OIL & FILTER CHANGE, HAS BEEN DONE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT., 70+ MILES AWAY: 10/03/16 - THE DCT UPDATE/INSTALL/FIX WAS 1ST COMPLETED. THE ABOVE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED AS PART OF A REGULAR SERVICE BEFORE I BEGAN TO NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS. 02/20/17 - I'M NOT SURE WHEN I FIRST DETECTED A HESITATION OR LACK OF POWER ON ACCELERATION, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN BEFORE THIS SERVICE DATE, AS THE DOCUMENTATION NOTES THE DCT UPDATE BEING COMPLETED A 2ND TIME. ALTHOUGH SPORADIC, EACH TIME THE HESITATION OCCURS IT CAN BE DANGEROUS, SCARY AND VERY UNNERVING. EQUALLY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNNERVING IS THE RESULTING 'LURCH' FORWARD WHEN POWER RETURNS. 04/12/17 - MORE WORK FOR THE SAME HESITATION ISSUE 06/14/17 - REGULAR SERVICE (OIL & FILTER CHANGE) WAS PERFORMED AT A LOCAL SHOP. 09/14/17 ' RETURNING TO HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A 4TH TIME. I TEND TO BE A CAUTIOUS DRIVER & GIVE MYSELF PLENTY OF ROOM (RURAL COMMUNITY) WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS DEFECT IN THE HYUNDAI TUCSON PRESENTS TWO POSSIBLE TRAGIC SCENARIOS. FIRST & MOST OBVIOUS IS BEING BROADSIDED WHEN PULLING OUT, SECOND IS BEING REAR-ENDED, WHEN THE PERSON BEHIND YOU IS EXPECTING FORWARD MOTION. VERY UNSAFE CA

STALLS COMPLETELY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGINE DEVELOPS NO POWER. REVERSE WON'T ENGAGE BACKING UP ON A SLOPE. ERRATIC INAPPROPRIATE GEAR CHANGES. SHUDDERS, VIBRATES ON ACCELERATION, AND BETWEEN GEAR CHANGES. VERY HESITANT DOWNSHIFTING AFTER GOING AROUND A CORNER.

ENGIN SKIPS, SURGES, HESITATES. ON GOING SINCE PURCHASE

THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP / ROLLING STOP. RPMS WILL INCREASE BUT IT WILL BE 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WHEN THE ISSUE DOES OCCUR. THE CAR THEN JOLTS FORWARDS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RPMS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE LIFE THREATENING AND IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, WILL NOT ACCELERATE, PAUSES WHILE STOPPED, IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC, ON STREET CITY AND HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO REPAIR OTHER THAN AN UPDATE. HYUNDAI REFUSES, YES REFUSES, TO FIX MY CAR AND PROVIDE A REPAIR ORDER. TRIED TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. SO WHEN I FILED WITH THE BBB AND WITH HYUNDAI, HYUNDAI REFUSED TO TAKE MY CAR BACK CLAIMING I DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIR ORDERS. HYUNDAI LOCATIONS SUCH AS EDWARDS IN IOWA AND WOODHOUSE IN OMAHA HAVE NOT DOCUMENTED ALL OF MY CARS ISSUES NOR HAVE THEY ANY PROOF OF MY BEING THERE OTHER THAN TWO TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN NUMEROUS TIMES, WELL OVER 5 TIMES ANYWAY!! THE BBB REQUIRES DOCUMENTATION OF SERVICE, BUT I CAN'T GET AHOLD OF THE DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE THEIR JOB TO DOCUMENT MY CARS SERVICE. I'M GROWING EXTREMELY TIRED OF HYUNDAI AND WOULDN'T WISH THIS CAR ON ANYONE! I STILL CAN'T ACCELERATE, MY CAR BROKE DOWN THE OTHER DAY, AND NOTHING IS GETTING BETTER WITH BEING SERVICED. I'M A SINGLE PARENT WORKING PART TIME AND GOING TO SCHOOL, I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY ON HYUNDAI'S PART TO RETRACT THIS VEHICLE IS ASTOUNDING. I'M UNSURE HOW THERE IS A 5 STAR SAFETY RATING ON THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN SEEN AND "FIXED" IT COMES BACK WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. THE LAG IS SUBSTANTIAL, IT JERKS CONSTANTLY, I CAN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ALREADY IN MOTION OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, OR EVEN MOVING OUT OF A PARKING STALL. I AM TYPICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN LAGGING AND NO ACCELERATION OCCURS, AND ALL TOO OFTEN I'M ALREADY IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAN NO LONGER MOVE. A LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATED TWICE AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE JUST GOING 3MPH. MY CAR THEN DIED, LUCKILY I WAS PULLED OVER WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT. THESE CONSTANT ISSUES I'VE BEEN HAVING HAVE BEEN SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE ON JULY 8, 2016. IT ONLY HAD 50 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT I CAN'T HANDLE THE STRESS OF DRIVING IT ANYMORE! EVERY TIME I SUBMIT A CLAIM ON HERE, NO ONE REACHES OUT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH HYUNDAI NATIONAL AND REGIONAL OFFICES, HYUNDAI SERVICE LOCATIONS, AND THE BBB. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS A REAL DANGER, NOT ONLY TO ME, BUT TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD!?!?!?!?!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE THEN JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI (100 HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80010) WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE, WHICH SHOULD REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI EACH TIME WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE MANAGER, WHO FAILED TO ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SUCH AS A LEFT TURN OR ON THE FREEWAY AT RUSH HOUR, MY VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY CEASE TO ACCELERATE. YOU CAN AUDIBLY HEAR THE CLUTCHES GRINDING INSTEAD OF TICKING AS THEY USED TO AS WELL. THE DCT SEEMS TO PUT THE CAR IN A NEUTRAL STATE UPON STOP AND GO, AND, NOT MOVE. THIS INCLUDES WHEN I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR AS WELL AS I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ON A LEFT HAND TURN AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP. OF AMERICA STATES THIS IS NORMAL FUNCTIONING FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO USE THE DCT. I AM SUPPOSED TO APPARENTLY GET OUT OF MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND ASK OTHER DRIVERS TO PLEASE HOLD OFF FROM SLAMMING INTO MY BACK END AS THE DCT TAKES 3-5 SECONDS EXTRA TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACCELERATE IN STOP AND GO SITUATIONS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE 1X, RODEO HYUNDAI OF SURPRISE 2X, AND, HYUNDAI OF PEORIA 1X FOR THESE ISSUES. I AM VERY AFRAID OF THIS CAR AND HYUNDAI NOW THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE CAR FOR REPAIRS WILL NO LONGER HONOR THE WARRANTY WORK. THE SERVICE GM OF HYUNDAI PEORIA STATED WHILE ON SPEAKER WITH HYUNDAI AMUSA THAT THEY ARE IN FACT SEEING THIS ISSUE WEEKLY BUT, HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANY POSSIBLE ARBITRATION AT THEIR DEALERSHIP! I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A SECOND OPINION AWAY FROM HYUNDAI AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE T

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS IN APPROPRIATELY. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT, AND LEADS TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN AN INTERSECTION. IT IS AS IF THE CAR EITHER JUMPS/SHUDDERS OR STALLS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. THEREFORE, ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN HIT YOU. MOST OF THE ISSUES OCCUR WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP.

WHILE STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TUCSON WON'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH WITHOUT FORWARD PROGRESS. THIS IS A SLAM-DUNK SAFETY ISSUE, AND I EXPECT A RECALL WILL BE THE RESULT. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS PLUS MOVING THE CAR INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT MOVED. ( ABOUT 30 SECONDS) ONCE THE CAR MOVED , I COULD SMELL THE CLUTCHES BURNING.

MY TUCSON WILL RANDOMLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY WILL NOT MOVE AND THEN WILL LURCH FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A RECALL PERFORMED TWICE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IN ADDITION, THIS WEEK THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND NOW THEIR IS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AND WHAT FEELS LIKE A WOBBLE UNDER THE FRONT PEDALS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FOR THREE SECONDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI IN SURPRISE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI IN AVONDALE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER HYUNDAI PEORIA IN PEORIA, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,822.

UPON RELEASING THE BRAKES AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS JERKING VIOLENTLY WHILE APPLYING THE THROTTLE PART WAY. ON AN INCLINE, FLAT, OR DECLINE IT DOESN'T MATTER. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND PICKING UP SPEED IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. IT JUST SEEMS TO OCCUR FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED.

INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION ISSUES. UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR VERY SLOW ROLL, THE CAR STARTS TO GO BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR WILL SHUTTER UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ONE IS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS AND THEN DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI (10401 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323 (623) 388-5800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SOFTWARE FAILURE AND THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE HAD TO BE RE-WRITTEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI (12925 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388 (623) 214-4100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EMAILED THE DEALER A MANUAL ON HOW TO CORRECTLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,500. UPDATED 09/27/17*LJ *TR

WHEN SLOWING TO A CRAWL IN TRAFFIC WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LEACH FORWARD THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVER IS NOT FOR THIS ACTION BY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH A YEAR SIGN HYUNDAI HAS NO FIX FOR THIS WHEN CALL WEATHER THE DEALER/ HYUNDAI WERE TOLD TO LIVE WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUS HURT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KEFFER HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 9010 E INDEPENDENCE BLVD, MATTHEWS, NC 28105; (704) 243-9815) ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. DURING THE FIRST AND SECOND VISITS, THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. DURING THE THIRD VISIT, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-633-5151 AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9919336. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,078. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ *TR

WE CURRENTLY LEASE THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FUEL CELL. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN A SUDDEN AND SPORADIC LOSS OF POWER DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON A CA FWY THE CAR LOST ABOUT 90% OF ITS POWER WITHOUT WARNING BRINGING MAX SPEED TO LESS THAN 15 MPH! OCCUPYING THE CAR POOL LANE AT THE TIME, WE HAD TO NAVIGATE 6 LANES OF SPEEDING TRAFFIC WITHIN MOMENTS IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE POSITION. ONCE SAFE WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE HYUNDAI SUPPORT LINE INCLUDED IN OUR LEASE WITH THIS "TEST" VEHICLE ONLY TO RECEIVE INCONSISTENT INFORMATION AND THE RUNAROUND. NOW, IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS AND WE KNOW NOTHING MORE ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THIS SUDDEN AND ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER THAT COULD HAVE LET TO A VIOLENT ACCIDENT (IF NOT FOR OUR QUICK AND CONTROLLED RESPONSE). THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 24,000 MILES YET HYUNDAI AND THEIR ANAHEIM CA DEALER NOT ONLY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE US THAT THE ISSUE WILL NOT REOCCUR WITHOUT WARNING IN THE FUTURE. MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION!

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WITHIN TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL AND PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. HOWEVER, MONTHS LATER, THE CONDITION CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALER (COURTESY HYUNDAI, 939 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861 (401) 622-1295) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND INDICATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER HAD NOT YET DEVELOPED A SOLUTION. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE TUCSON LURCHES AND HESITATES WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, DRIVING AT A REDUCED SPEED (I.E., IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS) OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP (I.E., RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN). SEVERAL TIMES, I'VE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION FOR 5 - 10 SECONDS TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO GO AND COMPLETE A LEFT HAND TURN. I'VE EXPERIENCED LURCHING DURING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVING. I'LL BE GOING 25 MPH, AND COME TO A STOP SIGN. I STOP, AND WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOTHING. ABOUT 5 - 10 SECONDS LATER, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. WHENEVER IT BEGINS ACCELERATING AFTER A HESITATION OR LURCH, THE RPMS SKYROCKET TO 5 - 6K. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN DESPERATION, OR I'M GRADUALLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL. THE LURCHING IS SO BAD AND SO APPARENT THAT MY PASSENGERS COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. THEY THINK I'M DOING IT ON PURPOSE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR TO HYUNDAI SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNING THE CAR. THEY'VE EVEN SENT ENGINEERS TO MONITOR THE ENGINE AND RIDE WITH ME WHILE I DRIVE IT. I KNOW 5 - 10 SECONDS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION, IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS BEFORE. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE, IS JUMPY, REFUSES TO MOVE ANYMORE WHEN STOPPED OR ALREADY IN MOTION. HAD AN APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING WITH WOODHOUSE HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CAR TO BORROW NOR DID THEY GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK - SO I HAD TO RESCHEDULE. THE MECHANICAL MANAGER SAID "CAN'T YOU WAIT 15 MINUTES?" I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AN OPTION TO BE LATE FOR WORK. MAYBE IT'S JUST MECHANICS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE LATE, BUT I SURE AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LACKING HERE AND SO IS THIS CAR. I'M DRAINED FROM ALL OF THE TIME I'VE PUT INTO THIS CAR TO BE REPAIRED AND NOTHING IS FIXED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX! THE SAME BATTLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS PHYSICALLY TAKING A TOLL ON ME AND I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I TRY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND CAN'T ALWAYS MEET THOSE APPOINTMENT TIMES BECAUSE I HAVE A JOB. I NEED MY JOB TO PAY THE LOAN. I NEED THE LOAN FOR THE CAR TO GET TO MY JOB. I NEED MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE. MY CAR IS NOT RELIABLE SO I CAN'T GET TO MY JOB AND PAY MY LOAN BECAUSE OF MY CAR. DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE!?!?!?!! I'VE NEVER HATED A CAR AS MUCH AS I HATE THIS ONE. EDWARDS HYUNDAI SOLD ME A CAR THAT THEY PROMISED WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE - AND IT'S NOT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY THE OPPOSITE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HYUNDAI AGAIN. I'D BE BETTER OFF WALKING AT THIS POINT OR TAKING THE BUS. TAKE THIS THING BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING OVER 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL BEFORE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH CHARLOTTE HYUNDAI (8525 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273 (980) 224-5870) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10451311. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HEAR FROM THEM WITHIN THREE TO FIVE DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 09/06/17*LJ. *CN

DRIVER TRAVELING AT 30-40 MPH, STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. ON CITY STREET. FRONT END OF VEHICLE SMASHED. CAR DECLARED TOTALED. AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT ONLY 1-2 INCHES THEN DEFLATED. DRIVER STRUCK STEERING WHEEL AND SUFFERED FACIAL, AND BODY INJURIES INCLUDING CRACKED STERNUM. LEASER, AND INSURANCE COMPANIES NOT CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG. OFFERED ONLY MEDICAL ATTENTION. ATTORNEY NOT INTERESTED AS THIS BAG NOT ON RECALL LIST, YET. WARNING TO OTHERS OF POSSIBLE FAULTY AIR BAG.

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE I GOT IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT, HOWEVER THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 35K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE ISSUES ARE COMING MORE FREQUENT. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE HESITATE AND LURCH PROBLEM. YOU CAN BE ON AN INCLINE OR JUST TRYING TO GO ACROSS AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT HAPPENS. YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES AS THE GEARS CHANGE AND YOU SLOWLY ROLL OUT INTO THE STREET, THEN THE CAR LURCHES YOU FORWARD. I CAME WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF HITTING THE BUMBER OF ANOTHER CAR AFTER I WAS LURCHED FORWARD. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON OR PATTERN BEHIND THIS. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AS THIS HAPPENS, SO BAD THAT EVEN PASSENGERS CAN FEEL IT.

CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE VIA CELL AUTO SVCS! ASKED FOR REQUEST SERVICE NOW!!! W/COME IN AND REQUEST A DATE FOR SET QUICKLY BUT CANNOT GET A TOW TO BRING THE CAR TO SERVICES! REASONS: HYUNDAI PASSENGER LEFT SIDE WON'T MOVE! RPM WAS VERY HIGH. RODER WHEEL WHEN BACKING UP SHOWED A LARGE SOUND.

ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION ON MY 2016 TUCSON SPORT 1.6, SINCE NEARLY THE BEGINNING THERE HAS BEEN HESITATION ACCELERATING FROM STOP, SLIPPING CAUSES JOLT AFFECT WHEN THE CLUTCH DOES GRAB. VERY FREQUENT SLIPPING OF CLUTCH MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, CLUTCH SLIPPING ALSO CAUSES VIBRATION/JOLTING AT SLOW SPEEDS EVER SINCE THE LAST SW UPDATE. BECOMING SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. OCCURS EVEN IN REVERSE. WAS TOLD NO DEFECT HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN THREE SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE BY DEALERSHIP ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY RECALL, 1ST TWO HELPED SOME BUT THE LAST ONE MADE PROBLEM WORSE THAN IT EVER HAS. WAS TOLD NO WAY TO REVERSE THE SW UPDATES. DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI UNABLE TO HELP RESOLVE ISSUE STATING THIS IS "NORMAL" CONDITION WHERE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED.

HYUNDAI PURCHASED THIS CAR BACK DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. IT HAD ISSUES SHIFTING BETWEEN THE FIRST 3 GEARS AND STALLED IN BETWEEN EACH. IT HAD ISSUES FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN FEB OF 2016 BUT TOOK UNTIL JUNE OF 2017 BEFORE THE BUY-BACK TOOK PLACE.

I HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS ON THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN TWICE NOW AND HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST 10 TIMES! I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES I'VE HAD BEFORE JUST A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS 2016 (BRAND NEW) CAR LAST YEAR! THE ACCELERATION STILL STAGGERS AND I CAN'T MOVE FROM A STOP, SLOW DOWN, OR WHEN I'M ALREADY IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS, COUNTY ROADS, AND THE INTERSTATE - NOT MY IDEA OF A SAFE CAR WHEN THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT STALLS AND THE RPMS AND EVERYTHING ON THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ALMOST ZERO. TAKE BACK THIS AWFULLY MADE VEHICLE! IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND "UPDATES" AREN'T PERMANENTLY FIXING THE ISSUES. STOP GIVING IT A BAND-AID "FIX" AND JUST TAKE THIS CAR BACK. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. I DON'T WANT IT. WHEN THERE'S ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND I CAN'T MOVE, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO STOP SOMEONE FROM HITTING ME WITH MY BABY IN THE BACKSEAT!?!?!? I CAN'T. BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE THIS CAR MOVE.
