2016 Hyundai Tucson complaints

TODAY, JULY 6, 2016, AT APPROXIMATELY 1:35 P.M., I ELECTRONICALLY STARTED MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON IT, AND DROVE FROM MY HOME ON A COUNTY ROAD UNTIL I REACHED A SIGNAL INTERSECTION AT A STATE HIGHWAY ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AT THE STATE HIGHWAY INTERSECTION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL LIGHT TO TURN GREEN TO TURN LEFT ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS IN DRIVE GEAR AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS DEFINITELY RUNNING AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODE LIGHTS SHOWING ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS THERE WERE SEVERAL VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME AT THE SIGNAL. I THEN TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN BACK INTO DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE STILL COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE BACKWARDS EITHER. I THEN TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES USING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION BUT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE. A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED, PARKED BEHIND ME, AND ASSISTED WITH TRAFFIC NOW BACKED UP BEHIND ME. HE CALLED A TOW TRUCK FOR ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS INSTANTLY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. AS IT WAS, I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COMING UP BEHI

INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION FAILING TO ENGAGE 1ST GEAR FROM A STOP. ENGINE REVS BUT NO POWER GOES TO THE WHEELS. HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ON A VEHICLE WITH 2500 MILES. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESOLVED THE ISSUE ONCE BUT NOT ON THE OTHER OCCASIONS.

WHEN IN DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD, MUST KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE, HYUNDAI SAYS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TUCSON. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM. REPORTED IT IN MY FIRST SERVICE AND TOLD IT'S HYUNDAI'S PROBLEM. IF I HIT SOMETHING IT'S MY PROBLEM.

FREQUENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES TAKING OFF FROM A FULL STOP. WHEN PUSHING THE GAS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS FULLY STOPPED, IT HESITATES BEFORE ACCELERATING AND ALSO SOMETIMES THE CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES BUT DOESNT REALLY MOVE FORWARD. A FEW TIMES THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL, THE RPMS WENT TO 3000-4000 BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU BECOME STRANDED AND CANNOT MOVE PROPERLY.

THE PROBLEM IS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). AT TIMES, WHEN PROGRESSING FROM A STOP (STATIONARY), THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES NORMALLY BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT IMPART MOTION TO THE WHEELS. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND ON THE HYUNDAI FORUM WEBSITE. HYUNDAI IS SILENT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DCT FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY.

FAILS TO FULLY ENGAGE GEARS, FEEL LIKE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN STARTING OUT. OR GOES INTO FIRST AND SECOND IS NOT THERE, NO POWER TO MOVE UNTIL FOOT IS LIFTED OFF ACCELERATOR, WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN TRY AGAIN.

JUST LIKE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINANTS HERE: MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ULTIMATELY HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER "FIXED" THE ISSUE BY RESETTING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT INDICATE WHY IT FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE NOR COULD THEY GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND AT HYUNDAI-FORUMS, THIS IS BECOMING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE BECOMES IMMOBILE WHILE TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS, WE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE DCT TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC FLOW. IN ANOTHER CASE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN IT WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE AND WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN HYUNDAI. THIS VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AT THAT TIME THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IS IN THEIR CARE, AWAITING FURTHER CONSULTATION FROM HYUNDAI CORPORATE. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. WE ARE CURRENTLY DISMAYED AND MAY BE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE..

ON FRIDAY, JUNE 17, MY TUCSON WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FROM 4 P.M. TO 7 P.M. AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOWER 90'S. WE THEN GOT IN THE CAR AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AT 25 MILES PER HOUR TO THE REAR GATE OF THE COMMUNITY. WE STOPPED AT THE REAR GATE TO WAIT FOR IT TO OPEN, HOWEVER IT DID NOT OPEN AS IT DID NOT SENSE THE PRESENCE OF THE CAR. SO I ATTEMPTED TO BACK UP BY PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR RPM WENT TO 4000 AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. SO I TOOK FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, THE CAR RPM WENT TO AGAIN TO 4000 HOWEVER AGAIN THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME ASKING 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT MOVING AND CARS ARE BEHIND US'. I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THE GATE WAS NOW OPENED, SO I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR RPM WENT TO 3000 TO 4000 AGAIN, HOWEVER THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY, UNDER 5 MPH. IT THEN SHIFTED, JERKING AS IT MOVED FORWARD AND SHIFTING. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 200 FEET THE CAR BEGAN TO SHIFT AND DRIVE IN A NORMAL MANNER. THIS IS THE 6TH OR 7TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, HOWEVER USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO FORWARD FROM A STOP. THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND DOES NOT MOVE, ENGINE REVS UP BUT DOES NOT MOVE. TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT HAPPEN AT THE DEALERSHIP.. THE CHECK OUT THE CAR AND STATE THAT THEY FIND NO ERROR CODE

IN TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS ABOUT A MONTH APART, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL OTHER CARS. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. IT WOULD GO BACKWARD, BUT NOT FORWARD. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THAT SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOO HOT AND I SHOULD STOP THE CAR SAFELY. (LIKE IT WASN'T ALREADY UTTERLY STOPPED, IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT-TURN LANE.) AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT GO FORWARD, FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER ABOUT 2,400 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT HYUNDAI TECHNICAL TOLD HIM THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THE SENSOR SOFTWARE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE PERFORMED THE UPDATE. SECOND INCIDENT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AND 600 MILES LATER. DIFFERENT TRAFFIC LIGHT, DIFFERENT LEFT TURN LANE, SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME, AS I WAITED 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK, AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES, THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY DROPPED BACK INTO GEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT 2-3 BLOCKS BEFORE IT STOPPED DEAD AGAIN AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. IN THE REMAINING 90 MINUTES WHILE I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR WOULD SPORADICALLY BE ABLE TO LURCH FORWARD A FEW FEET IN LOW GEAR BEFORE DROPPING OUT OF GEAR AGAIN AND STOPPING. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHO TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR UP THE TRUCK RAMP EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND VERIFIED IT. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER NOW FOR OVER A WEEK. TODAY, HYUNDAI TECHNICAL GAVE IT A "FA

HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE IT STAYS IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING. SOMETIMES IT DOWNSTHITS FOR NO REASON WHICH MADE YOU SLOW DOWN. TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. ALSO WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE THE DRIVING STICK TO MANUAL IT WON'T SWITCH OVER.

DUAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS LIKE OTHERS I WAS SIMPLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NO MOVEMENT, AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE CAR STALLED BECAUSE THE AC WAS ON HIGH, AND THEN I PRESSED AGAIN AND SEE THE TACK REVVING UP. I WAS SO SHOCKED I COULD NOT EVEN THINK TO USE THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRIED THE SHIFTER, THEN EVERY DRIVE MODE AND EVEN AWD TO NO AVAIL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF IN PARK AND RE STARTED STILL NO GO, IT WOULD BACK UP, LUCKILY MY SISTER WAS BEHIND ME, WE HAD JUST LEFT OUR MOTHERS 95TH BIRTHDAY. I GOT OUT STARTED TO PUSH AND NOTICED IT STILL IN DRIVE (GLAD IT DID NOT TAKE OFF WITH MY WIFE IN THERE) I QUICKLY PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED RIGHT ON A DOWNHILL GRADE TO PARKING LOT, WHILE COASTING I PUT IN DRIVE AND REV THE ENGINE AND FEEL IT TRYING TO SLIGHTLY MOVE. THE HYUNDAI DEALER IS MILE AWAY SO I DECIDE TO TRY AND GET IT THERE EVEN THOUGH IT IS MEMORIAL DAY. WHILE REVVING IT TO GET THERE I DID GET THE TRANSMISSION TEMP HOT WARNING TO PULL OVER AND STOP, I DID NOT SINCE I WAS ALMOST THERE. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE CAR RUN BUT SHUT IT OFF, SOME SALES PEOPLE WHERE THERE BUT NO MECHANICS. IT WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR THE SALESMAN AFTER SITTING JUST A SHORT TIME. THIS HAPPENED 5/30/16 AT APPX. 2800 MILES 3 WEEKS LATER WITH THEM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND 3100 MILES, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER HE PROCEEDS TO EXPLAIN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR CAR ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI IT IS ACTING AS IT WAS DESIGNED AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO INF

THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATES, WHICH CAUSES ME TO PRESS HARDER AND CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD WHEN IT ACCELERATES. THERE IS ALSO A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE LEVEL OF JERKING WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN I WANT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR BEAT A YELLOW LIGHT THE DELAY CAUSES THE CAR TO TAKE LONGER TO SPEED UP. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN ACCELERATING AT A GREEN LIGHT BECAUSE OF THE DELAY, I PRESS HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTS MOVING IT JERKS FORWARD AT AN UNWANTED SPEED AND I HAVE TO THEN BRAKE TO AVOID GOING FASTER THAN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS REV UP TO 5000 RPMS, BUT THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEM ALMOST FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR. NOT ONLY IS THE CAR NOT ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE - TO SAY THE LEAST - IT ALSO MAY BE UNSAFE.

THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE DCT TRANSMISSION. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOPLIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AFTER RELEASING BRAKE/APPLYING GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE SHOWS THAT IS IN "D". TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN "P" AND BACK IN "D"; VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT MOVE. PUTTING THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL MODE STILL SHOWS "D" INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL GEAR IT IS IN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE ISSUE.

UPDATE TO COMPLAINT 10876205... THE DAY AFTER I POSTED THE COMPLAINT, I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SLOWLY SLIPPED INTO 1ST GEAR AND AS THERE WAS A CAR COMING CROSSWAYS RAPIDLY, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE MORE, THE ENGINE REVVED UP ~ 4000 RPM IN 2ND GEAR BUT WASN'T MOVING ANY FASTER, JERKED INTO 3RD, WAS ALMOST HIT. I TOOK MY TUCSON BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (06/24/16) AND THEY STILL HAVE IT (06/28/16). IS ANYONE GOING TO STEP IN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED?

I HAVE HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED 1.6T WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY NEW CAR 2 WEEKS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THE CAR TO MOVE IN DRIVE 4 TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK OR REVERSE AND THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE FOR ~ 5 MINUTES THEN SLOWLY MOVES. THERE ARE WIDE SPREAD REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS SUCH AS THE FAILURE OCCURRING IN TRAFFIC.

THE VEHICLE HAS REFUSED TO ACCELERATE 3 TIMES WHEN THE TEMP IS > 90 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. IT ACTS LIKE THE CLUTCH ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED, BUT IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES AND THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 6300 MILES. I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THE ENGINE REVS, BUT NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT HAPPENS. IT TAKES > 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RELUCTANTLY MOVES. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.

JUST AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE NOT HAD MOVEMENT TO THE WHEELS WHEN IN DRIVE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL AND HITTING THE GAS. LUCKING TWO OF THE TIMES THIS OCCURRED WHILE LEAVING MY GARAGE, THE OTHER TIME WAS WHILE AT A RED LIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR A SECOND TIME. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. I'M NERVOUS THEY ARE GOING TO WANT ME TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND THE 6,000 MILES MARK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DRIVEN HOME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND YOU ARE STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WAITING TO MAKE A TURN AND THEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT'S IN NEUTRAL OR LIMPS ALONG. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU GO TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. CLEARLY IN MY VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CAR IS AT A STOP, THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THIS TIME THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN MOVE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING 4500RPM'S AND THEN ONLY ACHIEVED 7MPH. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE CAR HAS NEUTRALED OUT OR THE GEAR IS SLIPPING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI TWO TIMES CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THE TECH WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE OUR CONCERN AND THEY PERFORMED A 'RELEARN' ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND TIME THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE SENT ON OUR WAY AS IF EVERYTHING WAS OK. THIS CONCERN IS DANGEROUS AND WE ARE SCARED, LITERALLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST T-BONED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE DIDN'T RESPOND. OUR CONCERN IS INTERMITTENT AND HYUNDAI JUST SENDS US ON OUR WAY AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, MYSELF OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE POWERTRAIN. HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED MY REQUEST TO REPURCHASE OR REPLACE UNDER THE ARIZONA LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND NOW HYUNDAI IS NOT HELPING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A COUPLE OFF VIDEOS SHOWING THE CAR DEMONSTRATING THE CONCERN. PLEASE HELP

VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM STATIONARY POSITION. HAS OCCURRED PERIODICALLY (AT LEAST 25 TIMES) SINCE ODOMETER READ 1800 MILES (CURRENT MILAGE IS 8000 MILES).. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND TOOK AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO GO INTO GEAR. IT HAS ALSO FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC AND LEAVES CAR POWERLESS FOR FORWARD MOTION WITH MOVING TRAFFIC ALL AROUND. HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES REPORTING SHIFTING/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED ONCE BUT ISSUE STARTED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 500 MILES. DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHICH I PURCHASED THIS FALL AND HAVE APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON IT. I AM REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OVER 50 OTHERS HAVE ON THIS SITE. IT IS A 1.6 LITER TURBO WITH THE DCVT TRANSMISSION. STARTING ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING. WHEN IT STARTED, I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT AND I WAS IN DRIVE WITH NO SPECIAL MODE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE BEING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I HAD TO REV THE RPMS UP WHAT LOOKED LIKE TO BE OVER 3000 TO GET THE CAR TO GO FORWARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED, SHEEHY HYUNDAI IN WALDORF, MD AND THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HAS HAPPENED 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION, IDLING OUT TO A SIDE ROAD THAT HAD A SLIGHT INCLINE, AND AGAIN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION, AND AGAIN INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD AND THIS TIME I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PUTTING IT IN PARK, AND SHUT IT OFF HOPING IT WAS JUST SOMETHING ELECTRONIC. I RESTARTED AND HAD TO AGAIN REV THE RPMS WAY UP SO TO AVOID OVER REVVING AND HAVING THE VEHICLE JUMP, I PUT IT INTO 1ST GEAR MANUALLY AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT I NOTICED IT WAS JERKY STARTING OUT. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER DURING CONTINUOUS DRIVING WITH SOME STOP STARTS, I WAS AT A LIGHT WHICH HAD TURNED RED AND WAS WAITING FOR IT TO CHANGE

SUV WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHERE IT REVS HESITATES AND THEN GOES. YESTERDAY, WHEN AT A GREEN LIGHT NEAR MY HOUSE, CAR REVVED AND WOULD NOT GO EVEN WITH FOOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE BEHIND ME OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE PERSON BEHIND ACCELERATING AND ME UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL! CALLED DEALER RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS 4PM ON SATURDAY 6/25. THEY COULD NOT SEE ME. COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL THIS THURSDAY. WILL GO IN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING (MONDAY) AND DEMAND SOMETHING BE DONE. SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID THEY WILL CHECK BUT DOUBT THEY WILL FIND ANYTHING AS NONE OF THE CHECK LIGHTS OR COMPUTER CHECKS HAD TRIGGERED DURING ANY OF THE ACCELERATOR INCIDENTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WANT OTHERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS MAYBE BEFORE PURCHASING THE CAR!

VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE TRAVELING UPHILL. TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING IT WAS OVERHEATING, WHICH EVENTUALLY LOCKED UP THE TRANSMISSION, DISABLING THE CAR. AN IMMOBILE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC IS INHERENTLY UNSAFE, AND WITH UNDER 3000 MILES, THIS VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF A RECALL AND A REDESIGNED CLUTCH.

I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, BEHIND A COUPLE OF OTHER CARS, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I EASED UP ON THE BRAKE AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO PULL FORWARD SLOWLY. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO MAKE A LEFT, I GENTLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS ROSE BUT THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND THUS DIDN'T PULL FORWARD BEYOND A SLOW ROLL. I TRIED STEPPING ON THE GAS HARDER AND ALLOWED THE RPMS TO GET UP TO ABOUT 4,000. THE CAR STILL DO NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR. I WAS IN "NORMAL" DRIVING MODE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I TRIED SHIFTING THE STICK TO MANUAL MODE AND BACK, AND ALSO PUTTING IT SPORT MODE---ALL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AFTER SEVERAL ROUND TRIPS UP TO 4,000 RPM AND BACK, THE CAR EVENTUALLY GOT IN GEAR. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHICH, IF ANY OF MY ACTIONS, CORRECTED THE ISSUE. RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IT'S SHOCKING TO ME THAT HYUNDAI HASN'T PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS OR ISSUED A RECALL. AN ONLINE TUCSON FORUM ENTITLED "DANGEROUS HORRIBLE DCT" HAS OVER 40,000 VIEWS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED POSTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. (HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/2016-TUCSON-IX35-MODELS/454074-DANGEROUS-HORRIBLE-DCT.HTML). FORUM POSTS NOTE THAT DEALERS ARE PLAYING DUMB ON THIS ONE UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE ISSUE 1ST-HAND. A YOUTUBE VIDEO (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS) PROVIDES AMPLE EVIDENCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH MY EXPERIENCE (AND THAT OF MANY OTHERS IT WOULD SEEM. THIS SITUATION IS V

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, THE CAR DOES NOT TRANSMIT POWER TO THE WHEELS AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING TO A NEAR STOP - E.G. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MERGING INTO INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, OR, GOD FORBID, TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION. I WILL PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS CAN ROAR INTO THE 6000 RANGE WHILE MY CAR INCHES FORWARD AT 1-5 MPH INTO TRAFFIC. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. MOST RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO SUNSET BLVD IN LOS ANGELES. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFE LEFT TURN BECAME A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AS MY CAR ENTERED SUNSET AT ABOUT 1-2 MPH AS TRAFFIC CLOSED IN FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS, WITH A 6 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, NO LESS! NOT MY VIDEO, BUT A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE FROM ANOTHER TUCSON DRIVER IS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS AND ANOTHER: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS PLENTY OF REPORTS OF THIS AT HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM *HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/2016-TUCSON-IX35-MODELS/454074-DANGEROUS-HORRIBLE-DCT-36.HTML AND YET NO ACTION FROM HYUNDAI. DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE RESPONDING VARIOUSLY WITH "WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" (IT'S INTERMITTENT AND DANGEROUSLY UNPREDICTABLE), TO "SOUNDS LIKE NORMAL DCT BEHAVIOR TO ME!", TO AS MY DEALER TOLD ME, "UNTIL THE MALFUNCTIONING PART FAILS COMPLETELY, WE CAN'T ID THE PROBLEM SO CAN'T FIX IT." LETTING THAT PART FAIL MAY, LITERALLY, BE THE LAST THING I DO! STILL WORKING ON A RESOLUTION WITH HYUNDAI, BUT THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION AND HYNUDA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE REVERSED AND THEN MOVED FORWARD. THE FAILURE CONTINUOUSLY RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,075.

STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GET GAS, TURNED THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF, PUMPED GAS, GOT BACK IN & STARTED THE VEHICLE, SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK & PRESSED THE GAS, RPM'S REVVED WAY UP BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. CHECKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T OVERLOOKING ANYTHING; NO 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON OR ANY OTHER DASHLIGHTS, EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. TURNED THE SWITCH OFF & ON SEVERAL TIMES, WAITING A FEW MINUTES EACH TIME, THEN WOULD START AND SHIFT INTO REVERSE (IT WOULD BACK UP), NEUTRAL, & FINALLY DRIVE & STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. FINALLY GAVE UP, PUT IT IN REVERSE & BACKED AWAY FROM THE PUMPS TO A SAFE PLACE. CALLED HYUNDAI BLUE LINK BUT THEY WERE NO HELP AS THE VEHICLE WASN'T SENDING ANY CODES. I TRIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES THEN GAVE UP & HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SALESMAN). ONCE IT WAS OFF THE TRUCK, THE SALESMAN TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES & GOT THE SAME RESULT. HE WAS JUST AS STUNNED AS I WAS. ON MON I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA & OPENED A CASE SO THERE WOULD BE DOCUMENTATION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE OVER THE WEEKEND & FOUND A HYUNDAI FORUM WHERE PEOPLE WERE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAD. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & MET WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR & THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT HAD DONE THE SAME THING WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR THAT MORNING BUT HE FINALLY GOT IT TO MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HYUNDAI TECH SERVICES & T

WAS JERKY WHEN GETTING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE NORMAL FOR A 4 CYLINDER, SINCE I'D BEEN DRIVING A 6 CYLINDER FOR 20 YEARS. THOUGHT I JUST HAD TO GET USED TO IT. 10 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 300 MILES, JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION... PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... IT STARTED SLOWLY JERKING FORWARD, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT KEPT JERKING AND SLOWLY ACCELERATED UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 5 GEAR, THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT. FRIGHTENING! 26 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 700 MILES, FROM A COLD START, BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE... REVVED THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND HADN'T MOVED YET... HIT 3RD GEAR AND IT JERKED FORWARD AND STARTED SLOWLY MOVING. 30 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, @ ~ 816 MILES, STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT... LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE... SHIFTED THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE) SEVERAL TIMES... IN DRIVE FOR ABOUT THE 4TH TIME AND STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR... IT PEALED OUT... DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP... JERKILY PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT. JUST OVER 3 HOURS LATER, WAS TOLD THEY DISCHARGED THE CAPACITOR COMPLETELY AND "RE-TAUGHT IT" THE SYSTEM. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FIXED, BUT, I'M AT DAY 37 AND CAN SWEAR THAT IT HESITATED YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING. WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION!

JUST HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. 7000+ MILES ON MY TUCSON. I WAS WAITING TO GO STRAIGHT AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. REVVED HIGH BUT DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS A LITTLE AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE CLUTCH FINALLY ENGAGED AND I WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH WHILE STILL REACHING HIGH RPMS. CARS YIELDING TO MAKE A LEFT WERE WAITING FOR ME TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT. LUCKILY I WASN'T TRYING TO MAKE ANY RIGHT TURNS AT ANY INTERSECTION BECAUSE I'D IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT FULL SPEED COULD'VE HIT ME IF I DIDN'T PICK UP MY SPEED QUICK ENOUGH. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET BACK TO MY WORK PARKING LOT (ALL THE STREETS WERE BUSY DURING THE LUNCH HOUR), I WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE AGAIN AS IT SHOULD. I FLOORED THE PEDAL TO AVOID ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER CAR AND AS SOON AS THE CLUTCH ENGAGED MY CAR PEELED OUT AND ACCELERATED ABRUPTLY. THE "TRANSMISSION TEMP. TOO HIGH" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE BUT ONLY ONCE ON ONE ACCELERATION AT A RED LIGHT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS IT DROVE NORMAL AFTERWARDS. HYUNDAI DID THE ECU FLASH UPDATE (AS A TSB THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF) AT THE DEALERSHIP A FEW WEEKS LATER AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE ISSUE. WHEN IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN THE FIRST TIME AS IT CONTINUOUSLY HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES. AFTER WORK, I DROVE VERY CAREFULLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP THE CAR OFF. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION

I HAVE THE 1.7 TURBO ENGINE WITH THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGINE REVS AND CAR DOESN'T MOVE (AS IF IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL). TRANSMISSION FINALLY KICKS IN, BUT ONLY AFTER A SCARY COUPLE OF SECONDS - ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. I SAY IT'S DANGEROUS!!

AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. THE GEARS WERE GRINDING AND EVENTUALLY THEY SNAPPED INTO POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, AS I TRIED TO ENTER THE CIRCLE THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE FINAL INCIDENT I HAD BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE (WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY) INVOLVED AN ATTEMPT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN, WHERE ONCE AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. ONCE AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS IS DEFINITELY IN MY MIND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR 60 DAYS "WAITING" FOR A TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE WITH NO ARRIVAL DATE AVAILABLE OR ETA OF COMPLETION IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

CAR IS A 2016 TUCSON WITH THE 1.6T ENGINE AND DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE ENGINE REVS AS IF IN NEUTRAL WITH NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. AFTER 10-15 SECONDS AND SHIFTING FROM PARK BACK TO DRIVE THE ELECTRONIC CLUTCH PARTIALLY ENGAGES ENOUGH TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN, BUT BEHAVES LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PARTIALLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR CODES. TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHO ADVISED IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT HAS LEFT ME STUCK IN TRAFFIC UNABLE TO MOVE. UNBELIEVABLE THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE AND OFFERS NOTHING. GOOGLE SEARCH OF "2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DCT PROBLEMS" HITS OVER 25K SEARCH RESULTS. I SEE OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON SAME ISSUE.

WAITING AT A LIGHT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. PUSHED ACCELERATOR ENGINE REVS AND NOTHING. NO POWER IS TRANSFERRED TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. I THOUGHT I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED THE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. NOPE. TRIED AGAIN AND JUST ENGINE REV, NO MOVEMENT. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND FINALLY GOT GOING. NEXT INTERSECTION I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT AGAINST OPPOSING TRAFFIC AND CHICKENED OUT UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED. SAME [XXX] THING OCCURRED! COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED AND WHOSE FAULT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN? MINE SINCE THERE IS NO OWNING UP TO THE ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI AND NO INDICATION OF THE ISSUE RECORDED BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER! NO ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION RECORDED BY THE VEHICLE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WERE DEEMED AT FAULT BY THEIR INSURANCE?

NO DRIVE GEAR OR REVERSE GEAR SOMETIMES AND SPORADICALLY, TAKE OFF FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE. NO POWER ON TAKE OFF IT REVS RPMS.AT AN STAND STILL AT A CORNER OR A RED LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT JUST REVS RPMS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND HOPE YOUCAN MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT NO ONE CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU OR CAR LUNGING FORWARD INTO SOME 1 ELSE.

HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016,1300 MILES. IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON GW BRIDGE, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING WARNING (PULL OVER SAFELY) CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER 5 HARROWING MINUTES WAS ABLE TO DRIVE, TAKEN TO DEALER, "NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE" COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE NOTHING WRONG. SO MUCH FOR ,100000 MILE WARRANTY. HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED SOMEONE ELSE WENT TO SAME DEALERSHIP AFTER I DID, THE MANAGER,BARRY, SAID"I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS". SO FAR NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. BY THE WAY, ON MY REPAIR RECEIPT THERE WAS A SUGGESTION THAT I LEARN TO DRIVE PROPERLY!!!!!

I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND REAR SHOCK AT APPROXIMATELY UNDER 2000 MILES. IT HESITATES BADLY. IT DECELERATES AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAD LOW COOLANT BEFORE A LONG TRIP SO I FILLED IT UP AS IT ADVISED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HOT THE COOLANT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH TO 1 INCH BELOW THE MINIMUM FILL LINE. AFTER MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADVISED THE COOLANT WAS LOW AGAIN, BUT THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I TOLD THEM I JUST FILLED IT UP AND SO THEY ARE CHECKING AGAIN FOR LEAKS. IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR AS I WAS GOING ON AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE. IT JERKED AND SHIMMIED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHEN I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT. IT IS BRAND NEW. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME WITH IT I JUST KEEP HEARING "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT IS JUST THE WAY HYUNDAI DESIGNED THE VEHICLE." HYUNDAI NEEDS TO WORK ON THIS. THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS A POPPING SOUND EVERY TIME I REACH 20 MPH AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF PARK. IT HAS A RATTLE IN THE FRAME/REAR PASSENGER DOOR AREA. NO PLACE CAN FIX THESE SOUNDS. I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT ALL. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE SINCE PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2015. THIS REALLY NEEDS MULTIPLE RECALLS ON IT. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT A HOOD LATCH RECALL TOO. NOT EVEN FROM HYUNDAI... FROM CAR FAX. HYUNDAI DID NOT CONTACT CONSUMERS REGARDING THE HOOD LATCH RECALL. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO. THE DEA

WHILE STOPPED, WITH CAR IN DRIVE, PRESSING ACCELERATOR ENGINE REVS (4 TO 5 ON THE GAUGE) BUT DOES NOT GO FORWARD. CAR THEN JERKS FORWARD AND THEN FINALLY MOVES. I SAT THRU 3 RED LIGHTS BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY MOVED. THIS OCCURS ON CITY STREET THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE BUT THE FORWARD MOTION "CAUGHT" QUICKER THAN THE LAST TIME AT THE SAME TIME THIS OCCURRED THE AC FAILED AS DID THE BLUETOOTH. THE PHONE SAID IT WAS CONNECTED BUT THE CAR SAID IT WAS NOT . THE AC FAN WORKED BUT BLEW HOT AIR. THE AC AND PHONE WORKED AFTER TURNING OFF CAR AT DEALERSHIP. THE TECH AT DEALERSHIP CAPTURED ON VIDEO THE GEAR CLEARLY IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARD. SERVICE CENTER SAID NO ERROR CODES WERE RECORDED. HYUNDAI USA HAS NO INFORMATION TO GIVE ME. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER SERVICE DEPT FOR 11 DAYS NOW. CONCERN IS SAFETY OF VEHICLE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND CAR GOING IN REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE.

AS I WAS RETURNING FROM LUNCH TO WORK ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND ACT ABNORMAL. FROM STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS TO RUNNING THE VEHICLE AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS I FELT I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR JUST ACCELERATED AND SLOWED DOWN. THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE INCREASED AND DECREASED DURING THIS TIME. I AM NOW, VERY CONCERNED WITH MY/MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BECAUSE MY CAR HAS ONLY 4,000 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HYUNDAI FORUMS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WHICH MAY NOT BE AFFECTING ALL VEHICLES BUT IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN CONSIDERING THE ACCELARATION AND SLOWING DOWN ISSUES I EXPERIENCED TODAY. ONCE I GATHERED ENOUGH COURAGE TO CONTINUE DRIVING DESPITE THE ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED OF ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER. SINCE I COULDN'T WAIT FOR MY CAR I HAD THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE DROP ME OFF AT WORK. THE DEALER CALLED ME BACK ABOUT 1.5 HOUR LATER EXPLAING THAT THEY RESET THE COMPUTER (WHATEVER THAT MEANS). I PICKED UP MY TUCSON AND IT APPEARS THAT RESETTING THE COMPUTER DID CLEAR THE ERROR AND THE ISSUE BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN SOMEWHERE ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE MY NORMAL HOME TO WORK AND BACK ROUTE HAS HIGHWAYS.

ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THE CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASE TO 4000-5000 BUT, THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. IT FEELS LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON (IT IS NOT) AND DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING MORE THAN REV THE ENGINE. IT'S LIKE STEPPING ON THE GAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL.

I PULLED INTO THE DRIVE THRU LINE AT BANK BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TUCSON INTO PARK, BUT LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME PROCESSED THEIR TRANSACTION. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. THE RPMS MOVED INTO THE 3000 AND 4000 RANGE BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON. VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO AND OUT OF PARK AND NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND ALLOWED ME TO EASE FORWARD. I PLACED THE CAR BACK INTO PARK WHILE MY TRANSACTION WAS PROCESSED. AFTER MY TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETE I PLACED THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL FORWARD. ONCE AGAIN HIGH RPMS AND ENGINE REVVING VERY LOUDLY BUT NOT MOVING ANYWHERE. I TRIED THE SHIFTING GEARS TRICK SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVE THRU LANE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE TO MOVE. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES IT FINALLY WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING SPOT. I CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER. HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT. HE REPORTED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THOUGH STILL IN DRIVE) HE WOULD THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO HIGH RPMS FOR 3-10 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING AND CAUSING A QUICK JERKY JACK RABBIT START. EVEN WITH THE DUAL CLUT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TUCSON WITH 4139 MILES, CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOPPED, WENT TO MOVE, TACH CLIMBED TO 6 GRAND AND TUCSON WOULD NOT MOVE. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK A FEW TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED AND THE TUCSON PROCEEDED FORWARD IN A JERKY MOTION BUY FINALLY SMOOTHED OUT. WENT ANOTHER 600+ MILES WITHOUT IT OCCURRING AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAM ON AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES THROWN. I CONTACTED HYUNDIA C/C BY EMAIL EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH FROM RESEARCHING, FOUND THAT IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS S SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.

THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT MOVE. TRIED A FEW TIME THEN HAD TO GO INTO PARK AND DRIVE AGAIN AND THEN IT WORKED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE AND REVVED THE MOTOR 6 TIMES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND THEN IN REVERSE. IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND WAS REVVING BECAUSE I HAD TO PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR MORE THAN I WANTED . I WAS AFRAID BOTH TIMES THE CAR WOULD SHOOT FORWARD (OR BACKWARD THE SECOND TIME). THE SHIFTING IS ALSO STRANGE IN THE CAR, IT JERKS FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE IT STARTS SO SLOWLY AND THEN SEEMS TO JUMP INTO GEAR.

05/06/2016 @ 1600 COND-RAINY. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE SUV DID NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THE SUV DID NOT GO FORWARD. IT SLOWLY ENGAGED AND LURCHED FORWARD AFTER APPROX 3-5 SECONDS. 5/19/2016 @ 1800 COND-RAIN /NOT DRIVEN IN APPROX 4 DAYS. LESS THAN A MILE FROM START AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROX 3-5 MINS-WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE VEH DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEH LURCHED/JUMPED FORWARD AND SLOWLY MOVED. I AGAIN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HYUNDAI. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE - 2016 TUCSON. 5/21/2016 @ 1350 SAME NON-MOVEMENT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OCCURRED W/THE LOANER VEHICLE. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 2 DAYS COND-RAINY. THIS OCCURRED APPROX 3 MINS AFTER START AND W/IN A MILE. HYUNDAI CORP ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEH. 3 SIMILAR ISSUES FROM CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTED TO THIS DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEH OR ALLOWING ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS VEH. IT IS AN ACCIDENT IN WAITING EITHER FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEH OR FROM STRIKING ANOTHER B/C OF THE LURCHING. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND HOPE THAT I DID NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I AM NOT SATISFIED AND WANT A REFUND FOR BOTH OF THE VEH'S I PURCHASED DUE TO THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY FROM A STOP, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEH DOES

THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE TRANSMITTING REPLACED. IT IS DANGEROUS. FIRST IT WAS THE SHUDDER AND ERRATIC HESITATION STARTING OUT IN 1ST GEAR. LIKE YOU HAVE A CHOICE WHAT GEAR YOU START IN. SO IT'S CRAZY FRUSTRATING. NOW IT HAS ADVANCED TO NOT ENGAGING 1ST GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME. TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THEN ONCE ENGAGED, THE CAR BURNED RUBBER THROUGH A LEFT TURN TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR RAN ANYONE OVER INT HE PROCESS. EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TALK TO ME LIKE IT IS THE DESIGN OF THE DUEL CLUTCH AND NOTHING I CAN DO SINCE IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY... WHAT?!! I'M TAKING A MORE ACTIVE APPROACH NOW TO KEEP MYSELF OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY FROM DYING AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS CLEARLY REFUSING TO ADMIT TO. THERE IS MANY ACCOUNTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DON'T READ INTERNET PROPAGANDA.. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS COMPANY EXISTS IN AMERICA. AND FYI - THE CAR I HAD 10 YEARS PRIOR WAS THE 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THEY REBUILD THE 2016 AND THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR MY LOYALTY.

"TAKATA RECALL" -THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AT THE PROPER TIMES. HEADRESTS MAKE YOUR HEAD BEND SO FAR FOWARD YOUR CHIN IS ALMOST TOUCHING YOUR CHEST.

REPORTED HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, IN TRAFFIC, OR WHEN EXITING A TURN. SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGED AS DID THE SALES TEAM THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE BUT SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS THAT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CORPORATE DECIDES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND HESITATES OR LUNGES WHEN COMING TO A STOP SOME TIMES. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING SINCE FIRST PURCHASED ON 5/21/2016.

I HAVE 4000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ALREADY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES! TRANSMISSION- IS VERY JERKY, DOESN'T HAVE PICK UP MOST THE TIME, DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AWAY IT TAKES A MOMENT TO KICK IN WHILE RPM'S ARE JUMPING. HESITATION FROM A DEAD STOP, ONCE AT A DEAD STOP AND YOU SLOWLY TAKE FOOT OFF BREAK THE RPM'S DROP AND THE CAR SHUTTERS AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE! DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL FOR A DUAL CLUTCH BECAUSE ITS LIKE A MANUAL AND THAT I NEED TO DRIVE 2 FOOTED OR DEAL WITH IT. I ALSO HAD IT TO DEALER SAY PRIOR TO THIS TIME, IT'S BECAUSE THE DUAL TRANSMISSION IS STAYING IN SECOND GEAR AND THAT'S NORMAL AND THAT'S WHY IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE. TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS THE SAME.. WHEN IN ECO IT WORSE AND WHEN IN SPORT MODE IT VERY JERKY AND THE SHIFTING IS AWFUL AND NEVER SMOOTH. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO IDEA WHEN TO SHIFT AND OR HOW TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD AS FAR WHERE THE RPM'S ARE AT, ALWAYS REVS UP BEFORE IT WILL EVEN MORE. ALSO WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT TAKES A LOT TO KICK IT DOWN TO PICK UP SPEED WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS IS HORRIBLE . HAD TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND IT TILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO FIND T TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL. HWY SPEEDS THE CABIN SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE ONE WINDOW OPEN AND YOU GET THAT SOUND OF BEING IN A TUNNEL. SINCE DAY 1 WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE, TH

I LOVE MY CAR AND I JUST HAD IT IN FOR ITS 15,000 MILE CHECKUP LAST WEEK AND THEN ON SATURDAY I AM AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY ROAD AND LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE, IT WAS ACTING LIKE I HAD IT IN PARK BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE NOTHING SO I DID THIS A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT FINALLY WENT. I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT EVERYONE STUCK BEHIND ME DID NOT GET IMPATIENT. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING LATER IN THE DAY IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IN MY DRIVEWAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. SO MONDAY MORNING I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT BROUGHT TO THEM. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT AFTER WORK TO PICK UP MY CAR - THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO ERROR CODES CAME UP. I AM ACTUALLY NERVOUS DRIVING MY CAR NOW, I AM HOPING THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IF IT DOES AND THEY DO NOT FIX IT I WILL BE GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.
