2017 Hyundai Tucson complaints

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY HYUNDAI TUCSON, HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE HORRIBLE. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP, YOU HAVE TO FEATHER THE GAS PEDAL TO TAKE OFF, OTHERWISE THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP DURING TAKE OFF. DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) MAKES THE DRIVE FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A STICK SHIFT, MEANING THE TRANSMISSION FEELS JERKY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND FOR ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AFTER A STOP, INITIATING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, THE TACHOMETER RACES, BUT THERE IS NO ENGAGEMENT. AFTER A LONG PAUSE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, OCCURRING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. HYUNDAI SERVICE DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE VISITS BEFORE FINALLY ADMITTING THE DUAL CLUTCH WAS FAULTY. CLUTCH REPLACED, PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THEY CAN DO.

WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE TUCSON (VEHICLE HAS PUSH BUTTON START) TO REFILL THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN OFF. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON, IT RESTARTED AGAIN THE ENGINE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WITH RPM'S AROUND 500 RPM. SOME SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE RPM STABILIZED (NORMAL IDLE). I PRESSED THE PUSH BUTTON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF SUCCESSFULLY. WENT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE CAR.

CAR SHAKES WHEN GOING FROM IDLE AND RELEASING THE BRAKE PRIOR TO PUTTING FOOT ON THE GAS. SHAKES WHILE IN PARK AS WELL. MOST NOTICEABLE WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC AT RED LIGHT, RELEASE BRAKE, INCH UP A FEW FEET WITHOUT TOUCHING ANY PEDALS CAR WILL SHAKE AND SHUTTER.

THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TIMES, THAT OUR 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS HAD TROUBLE ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR, WHETHER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED (5-10MPH). MOST OFTEN TIMES, WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY DELAYED, ALMOST NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, AND THEN IT IS VERY JERKY GETTING INTO GEAR AT THAT POINT. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THIS WHEN MY WIFE AND I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED (THE VEHICLE BEHIND US CAME SCREECHING TO A HALT) AS THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE WHEN I PULLED ONTO A 50MPH ROAD AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. THE 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS ACCELERATION ISSUE IS FIXED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS SAME EXACT CAR. FURTHER, HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2016 MODEL, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE FOR THE 2017'S. I IMPLORE THE NHTSA AND HYUNDAI TO MAKE THIS A RECALL! DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS HYUNDAI AND SAVE PEOPLE FROM SOME BAD ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE.

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING INTO A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO ENGAGE. DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN AS YOU STALL PART WAY THRU THE TURN. HAVE HAD CAR BACK TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY CLAIM NO PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS INVESTIGATING AS I SEE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE AND OTHER INTERNET SITES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION GEARS WERE DIFFICULT TO CHANGE OVER, AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE DEALER (LAKE NORMAN HYUNDAI, 20520 CHARTWELL CENTER DR, CORNELIUS, NC 28031, (704) 274-3145) INDICATED THAT THE SAME OEM TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE SINCE MAY 9, 2019. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

HESITATION AND STALLING FROM THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND SURROUNDING AREAS ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAY AND ALSO PARKING LOTS. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO MY DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL MOSTLY UNSAFE WHEN THIS HESITATION HAPPENS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HYUNDAI ON MY SECOND VISIT ONLY USED THE COMPUTER TO TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT THE PROBLEM WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME. I NEED HELP PLEASE

VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS INTERMITTENTLY MAKING NOISES AGAIN AFTER EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FIXED AND ALSO INTERMITTENTLY RELEASING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE READING, BUT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD.

JULY 2018 CAR BEGAN MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING ON AND BACKING UP. THE NOISE WENT AWAY WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGAN GETTING WORSE, MENTIONED IT AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. NOW MIND YOU, I DRIVE A LOT!! CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 83K. BETWEEN JULY AND DECEMBER 2018 THE CAR RECEIVED MINIMUM OF 4 OIL CHANGES ALL DONE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS IT'S NORMAL EVEN WHEN I COMPLAINED OF SMELLING GAS. AFTER RETURNING TO VA FROM MI, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER JUMPED WHERE EVER IT WANTED IF IT WANTED TO MOVE AT ALL. TOOK TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSIS WAS BAD VACUUM PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED AND SAID ALL MY DRIVING ISSUES AND GAS SMELL WOULD STOP. NOPE....TOOK BACK IN, DIAGNOSIS IS FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD. REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN LIKE IT DID THE FIRST TIME.

THE VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE ACCELATING AFTER THE CAR IS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. BASICALLY THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. SEEMS "DEAD." AS A DRIVER, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE CAR KICKS IN AND WILL MOVE AFTER AWKARDLY LURCHING FORWARD WHICH IS NOT PARTICULARLY COMFORTABLE OR SAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER BLAMES IT ON THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND ADVISES THAT IT CANNOT BE FIXED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER DRIVER REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE OR ANOTHER TYPE OF ACCIDENT.

WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON THERE IS STINGY SMELL COMING OUT OF THE VENTS BUT IN A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THAT PROBLEM. HAPPENS EVERY DAY I USE THE CAR.

THERE IS A HESITATION WHEN THE CAR STARTS OUT IN THE MORNING, FIRST START OF THE DAY. I HAVE HAD A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN, BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS THE PROBLEM RETURNED. IT CAUSES A SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN I TRY TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC, BECAUSE IT FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT AND THEM IT CATCHES AND MOVES.

EVERYTIME I STOP AT A LIGHT OR SLOW DOWN I ALMOST GET IN A ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION KEEPS FEELING LIKE IT WONT SHIFT AND STALL OUT AND HAS NO POWER. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM I NEED A RESOLUTION FOR PLEASE. I HAVE KIDS AND GOT THIS SUV FOR SAFETY BUT NOW I AM SCARED TO DRIVE WITH THEM

WE BOUGHT OUR HYUNDAI TUCSON IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND WITHIN WEEKS, WE STARTED NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH ERRATIC ACCELERATION AND INCONSISTENT RESPONSE OF GAS PEDAL. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR EVALUATED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT NOTHING WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE CAUSING THIS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT SAYING THAT THERE ARE SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION THAT HYUNDAI HASN'T COMMUNICATED A SOLUTION TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. OFTEN TIMES THE RPM LEVEL SKYROCKETS LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. OUR 7-SPEED DCT IS HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS, HESITATION WITH ACCELERATION, AND NEAR LOSS OF POWER. THE TRANSMISSION PARTICULARLY MISBEHAVES DURING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS THAT HYUNDAI HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL MODULE PROBLEMS BUT IS NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER PURCHASED THE VEHICLES IF WE WOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE ALLEGED TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WE HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF LEFT TURNS ON LARGE CITY STREETS, ALMOST GETTING HIT, BECAUSE NOBODY WAS ANTICIPATING THE SUDDEN NON RESPONSE OF THE GAS PEDAL. THIS ISSUE IS HAPPENING VERY FREQUENTLY DURING LEFT TURNS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO BE QUICK. WE HOPE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS TAKEN SERIOUS AS IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING WITH THIS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. EVERY TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE TOOK 4 TO 8 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS, BUT WAS GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MYRTLE BEACH HYUNDAI (1887 US-501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577), BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE VIBRATES SOFTLY AT AROUND 4,000 RPM, DRIVER CAN HEAR THE DOORS AND DASH PANELS VIBRATING. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE BRAND NEW. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THE SERVICE PERSONNEL BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL. ALSO WHEN I START THE ENGINE COLD THERE WAS A NOISE LIKE THE CVVT SPROCKET DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT OIL, ALSO THEY TOLD ME THAT IS NORMAL. AFTER THAT, I CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND I FILLED THE ENGINE WITH A SYNTHETIC OIL AND THAT NOISE DISAPPEARED AFTER 1 DAY OF USE.

***ENGINE TAKING TOO LONG TO START - SMART KEY*** IN SOME CASES IT TAKES TOO LONG THE ENGINE TO START. ENGINE STARTER IS WORKING BUT IS LIKE THE INJECTORS ARE NOT SUPPLYING GASOLINE TO THE ENGINE. IT COULD BE OVER 7 TO 10 SECONDS STARTING THE ENGINE UNTIL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER THAT I OPENED THE HOOD AND I FOUND SOME OIL STAINS ON THE VALVE COVER. ALSO WHERE THE PCV VENTILATION IS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME OIL VAPORS COMING OUTSIDE. ENGINE IS THE 2.0 GDI (NU ENGINE)

FROM A STATIONARY POSITION, WHEN YOU APPLY THE GAS, THE CAR MAY LURCH AND JERK LIKE THE CLUTCH ISN'T FULLY ENGAGING AND THEN NOT MOVE AT ALL UNTIL THE IGNITION IS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN. THIS CAN OCCUR IN REVERSE AS WELL. SOMETIMES, WHEN SITTING ON AN INCLINE, IN GEAR AND MAYBE WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR, THE CAR WILL ROLL BACK WHILE MOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE ACCELERATOR. THIS CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AND THE LAST OCCURRENCE WAS OUTRIGHT DANGEROUS.

PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS BLINKING, WHILE DRIVING

2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *LD *TR

ON NOVEMBER 3RD, 2016 I PURCHASED ON 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH $1500 AND MY 2016 HYUNDAI ELENTRA TRADE-IN. ONOR ABOUT JANUARY 3RD, 2018 I EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE OF THE DRIVER SEAT NOT RECLINING AND INCLINING, LEAVING ME STUCK IN CERTAIN POSITIONS. I SCHEDULED SERVICE AT SAGE HYUNDAI AND SOON AFTER THE COMPANY CLOSED WITHOUT PROVIDING A SERVICE LOCATION. ON OR ABOUT FEBRUARY 2018 I HAD HYUNDAI OF DOWNEY SERVICE MY VEHICLE. SINCE FEBRUARY 2018 I HAVE EXPERIENCED SIX SEAT ISSUE AS MENTIONED-ABOVE AND FOUR SERVICE REPAIRS. ON MARCH 20TH, 2019 I FILED A LAWSUIT IN SUPERIOR COURT. ON MARCH 22ND, 2019 HYUNDAI CONTACTED ME AND OFFERED $8,000 IF I RELEASED THEM OF LIABILITY AND KEEP THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. ON EACH OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, STATIONARY OR ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE EXTERIOR BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

WHEN I MAKE A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, JOINING TRAFFIC, I PRESS ACCELERATION AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING... I MAY EVEN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, ENGINE ROARS AT 5-6K AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL OR MOVES EXTREMELY SLOWLY... I WATCH THE CARDS APPROACHING FROM THE BACK AND START TO PRAY... I BARELY ESCAPED FEW ACCIDENT SITUATIONS BECAUSE THE APPROACHING DRIVERS WERE CAUTIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG GOING ON WITH MY CAR, NOT MOVING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT, ACCORDING TO OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS, THE ISSUE SEEMS LIKELY TO BE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), LATER RENAMED TO "AUTOMATED MANUAL", WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE IN MY TUCSON.

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 5K TO 6K AND THE CAR APPEARS TO BEING NEUTRAL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIM I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES. THE VEHICLE DOES NO ACCELERATE.

WHILE DRIVNG ON THE 5N FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE, MY CAR SEIZED. I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WARNING LIGHT SAID NOTHING OF OIL LEAK AND GAVE ME THE TPMS WARNING (TIRE PRESSURE). DIAGNOSIS: OIL PLUG FELL OUT OF OIL PAN, ALL OIL LEAKED AND ENGINE WAS RUINED. WEEKS LATER, I RECIEVE A "NEW" ENGINE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE PLUG FELL OUT. IF IT WAS LOOSE, IT WOULD HAVE FELL OUT QUICKER THAN 600 MILES AFTER THE OIL WAS SERVICED. PERHAPS IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE OIL PLUG, WE WONT KNOW BECAUSE IT FELL OUT. RECALL IS FOR 2011-2013 MODELS....PERHAPS THE 2017 HAS SAME ISSUES!!! NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063. 120,000 HYUNDAI TUCSON SUVS FROM THE 2011 TO 2013 MODEL YEARS. THE OIL PAN MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY SEALED DURING ENGINE PRODUCTION. AS A RESULT, AN OIL LEAK COULD DEVELOP AND LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE, THE ENGINE STALLING, OR EVEN A FIRE, NHTSA SAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES. ON ONE OCCASION, IN A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE TWICE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INSURANCE BODY SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEVEN SPEED DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY PERTAINING TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT GAIN SPEED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LIGHT. DOWNEY HYUNDAI (7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, (562) 314-4331) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS STILL WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND HAD NOT ISSUED ANY TRANSMISSION RECALLS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY.*JB

SOMETHING IS MAJORLY WRONG WITH HOW THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, OR DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY, CAUSING A TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND AN OVER REVVING OF THE ENGINE, WHICH RESULTS IN A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE TRIED TO TURN ONTO A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED OR T-BONED BECAUSE OF MY VEHICLE STALLING FOR NO REASON, LEAVING ME FLOUNDERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND RESUME ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FOR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, PROVIDED IT HASN'T ALREADY OCCURRED. IN FACT, I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHILE MERGING ONTO A FRONTAGE ROAD NEXT TO AN INTERSTATE, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS STALLING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE IS TO BLAME. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AS IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2017 TUSCONS AS WELL. THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT OCCURS EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. EVERY DAY.

TAKARA RECALL. MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED I STARTED THE ENGINE. I NOTICED ON THE DASHBOARD IT SAID BATTERY LOW AND MY CAR STARTED TO GO IN REVERSE SLOWLY EVEN THOUGH I HAD MY CAR STILL IN PARK AND MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. I TURNED MY CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES AS IT WAS SLOWLY GOING IN REVERSE AND I CHANGE THE GEAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT STILL WENT BACKWARDS. FINALLY THE CAR CAME TO A STOP I TURNED OFF THE CAR AGAIN AND IT STARTED NORMALLY. THIS IS WHY I'M WRITING TO YOU TODAY THAT MY COMPUTER SCREEN ON MY DASHBOARD TOLD ME THE BATTERY WAS LOW AND IT DID GO IN REVERSE EVEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK.

WHEN YOU COME TO A SLOW STOP, AND THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAIN, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT ABOUT TO STALL- THEN WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS, THERE IS A LONG LAG BEFORE THE CAR GAINS ANY MOMENTUM TO MOVE AGAIN. I WAS ALMOST IN A MAJOR CAR ACCIDENT AT AN INTERSECTION WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME IT IS A DUAL CLUTCH, BUT THIS IS WAY WORSE THAN A DUAL CLUTCH. I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE LAST WEEK, INT HE MIDDLE LANE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND THE CAR ALMOST STALLED OUT ON ME IN THE MIDDLE LANE, AND THEN WHEN I HIT THE GAS, IT ACCELERATED AND I ALMOST SLAMMED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR 30 YEARS AND THIS IS THE WORST CAR I HAVE EVER DRIVEN. IT IS A DEATH TRAP AND HYUNDAI WONT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I DONT WANT TO DRIVE MY 12 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN IT- BUT THEY WONT HELP ME. TODAY, MY BATTERY DIED IN THE CAR, SO I HAD TO GET A TOW TRUCK TO JUMP IT AND TOW IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. IT IS ONLY 2 1/2 YEARS OLD!!! THESE MODELS ARE UNSAFE!!

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. LIGHTS, RADIO, HEAT-ALL WORKING BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T START. WE HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THE ENGINE SEIZED UP ON US. IT WILL BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT WILL TAKE 1-2 MONTHS FOR A NEW ONE TO COME IN. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS REDESIGNING THE ENGINES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ARE RECALLED? WHAT IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF? NO PRIOR WARNING, NOTHING. THEY TRIED TO GIVE US THE SAME BOLOGNA ABOUT ENGINE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

STARTING OUT FROM A COMPLETE SROP THE ENGINE OR TRANMISSION HESITATES, THEN FIRES UP QUICKLY PROPELLING YOU FORWARD. IT HAS CAUSED NEAR MISSES WHEN WE PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. WE PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN LATE DEC 2016 AND RETURNED TO DEALER 3 MONTHS LATER REPORTING THIS ISSUE. ITS BEEN BACK 3 TIMES TOTAL. NOW I'M READING THAT HYUNDAI HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO GIVE ANY RELIEF TO OWNERS OF THE TUSCONS AND OTHER CROSSOVERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD GUARANTEED TO SERIOUSLY INJUE, MAME OR KILL PEOPLE. I SEE COMPLAINTS FROM ALL OVER THE U.S., SO ITS NOT SOMETHING WEATHER RELATED OR ALTITUDE RELATED AS OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THEIR DEALERS SERVICE DEPTS.

2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON LIMITED.....WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE LAGS AS THOUGH IT IS ABOUT TO STALL, SOMETIMES WITH NO ACCELERATION WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDDLE. EVERYTIME I GET MY CAR SERVICED I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEY HAVE HAD 3 DIFFERENT EMPLOYEES DRIVE IT & CONTINUE TO TRY TO EXPLAIN IT AS THE DUAL TRANSMISSION. RECENTLY ENTERING ON THE FREEWAY MY VEHICLE JOLTED &DIED WITH NO POWER I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BARELY MAKING IT OUT OF THE WAY OF A TRUCK THAT WAS SPEEDING UP BEHIND ME. THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINTED THE 'MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT' THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE A CATALYTIC CONVERTER PROBLEM. TOWED VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & THEY SAID IT WAS A TCU SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE NEXT DAY DROVE LESS THAN A MILE TO CAR WASH, TURNED CAR OFF & WHEN I WENT TO TURN BACK ON NOTHING NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NOTHING AFTER ABOUT 15-20 MIN. CAR STARTED UP. THE VEHICLE IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD & I DONT FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT IT WONT DIE OUT PUTTING MYSELF OR PASSANGERS IN DANGER OR LEAVING ME STRANDED. HYUNDAI SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES NO HELP AT ALL.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY. IN SOME CASES IS DIFFICULT TO START THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD (ALMOST ROCK SOLID), DRIVER MUST PRESS HARDER THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE START (SMART KEY PROCEDURE). IF VEHICLE DOESN'T DETECT THE DRIVER'S FOOT IN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE WILL NOT START AND IGNITION SWITCH WILL GO TO ACC OR ON POSITION. EVENTS OCCURRED IN 01/24/2019 AND DEALERSHIP (CALLED 01/25/2019) WANTS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 15,2019 BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL UNTIL THAT DATE.

IN SOME CASES WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT TURNED OFF AND IS RESTARTED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (1/2 HR.), A TICKING LIFTER (NOISY LIFTER) CAN BE HEARD. THE OIL LEVEL AND VISCOSITY IS CORRECT. ENGINE IS THE 2.0L (NU GDI 2.0L DOHC). ALWAYS CHECKING THE OIL IN THE ENGINE AFTER THE FAILURES OF HYUNDAI/KIA ENGINES.

THIS CAR WORKED FINE UNTIL IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ONE EVENING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAD IT 3 MORE MILES TO HOME. NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND DEALER SAYS THE ENGINE IS BAD AND OIL IS SLUDGY DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS 30,000 MILES AND HAS HAD 4 OIL CHANGES AND WAS DUE FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASES A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRIME HYUNDAI SOUTH (1022 HINGHAM ST, ROCKLAND, MA 02370, (617) 774-1300) FOR REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIR, THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUED TO SLIP AND THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED WHEN GOING INTO GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD CALL THE CONTACT BACK IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO LOW GEAR ON ITS OWN. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPORT DURST AUTOMOTIVE (4511 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (877) 262-3223) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 13622118. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 805. *DT*JB *BF

WHILE DRIVING I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR JERKS FORWARD AND DOESN'T CATCH. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD, THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THOUGH I'VE LET THEM KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKES SEIZED AND AN ABNORMAL GRINDING NOISE WAS HEARD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, IT OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,050.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTED VARIOUS TIMES AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI, 4797 CONVOY ST, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, (858) 278-7100) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT CONSUMER STATED SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN 2015 RECALL HAPPENED IN 2016. MANUFACTURER IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *JB

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) / 1.6T ENGINE START FROM STOP ACCELERATION STUTTERING, STALLING OCCURS FROM INITIAL TAKE OFFS, WHILE IDLING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC CREATES POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVE/PASSENGER SITUATION IN TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND LANE MERGING/PASSING. ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND TWO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS. BOTH PARTIES INDICATE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE DCT TRANSMISSION AND PROVIDED BOTH VIDEO AND WRITTEN TRAINING PACKAGES. BOTH TRAINING MECHANISMS FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SUPPOSED SOFTWARE UPDATES BY THE LEASING DEALERSHIP FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ALSO. ISSUE IS STILL ACTIVE AND LATEST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP FAILED TO FIND ANY ISSUES WITH NO REPAIRS OR SOFTWARE UPDATES TAKING PLACE. SENIOR TECHNICIAN INDICATED HYUNDAI LEADERSHIP AT CORPORATE ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF ISSUE BUT CHOOSING TO NOT ACT ACCORDINGLY/APPROPRIATELY.

PANORAMIC SUNROOF UNEXPECTEDLY EXPLODED, WITHOUT ANY EXTERNAL (OR INTERNAL) CAUSE WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 635. FORTUNATELY, IT WAS CLOSED, SO NO GLASS PENETRATED THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR.

MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO STALL/HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. I HAVE THE 1.6 TURBO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT CAN DELAY ACCELERATION FROM WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THIS OCCURS QUITE OFTEN WHEN PROCEEDING WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN--DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN & IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER W/COMPLAINT BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CORRECTIONS. TOLD ME TO "LIVE WITH IT." UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE HELP.

WHILE I DRIVE, MY TUCSON STALLS. I'M NOT SURE WHY. BUT IT STALLS AND IT TAKES AWHILE FOR IT TO SHIFT THROUGH GEARS. I HAVE STALLED ON HILLS AND AROUND TURNS.

TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT. WHILE DOING SO, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MY LANE, CAUSING BRIEF PANIC SINCE I WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY BABY AND A FREIGHTLINER WAS NOW APPROACHING. THE VEHICLE RESPONDED IN THE SAME MANNER WHILE MY HUSBAND DROVE IT SEVERAL DAYS LATER. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A HORRENDOUS SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AS WE TRAVELED IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 3MPH OR LESS. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON EDGE AND JUST WANTED TO GET HOME SAFELY WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES WITH THE TUCSON. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HYUNDAI OF LONGVIEW ON NOVEMBER 29, 2017.

VEHICLE HESITATES FROM A STOP WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE JUST REVS AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TRANSMISSION FINAL ENGAGES. THIS CAN TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS. HYUNDAI STATES THAT THIS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE DRIVEN LIKE AN MANUAL TRANSMISSION. THIS IS AN IGNORANT EXCUSE TO HIDE A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF. THIS IS HAPPENING TO SO MANY PEOPLE SO WHY WILL THE NHTSA NOT HOLD HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE DRIVETRAIN? I SPECIFICALLY ASKED OUR SALESPERSON IF THE ISSUE HAD BEEN WORKED OUT BEFORE WE SIGNED AND HE STATED THAT THE VEHICLES NO LONGER HAD THE PROBLEM. IF HYUNDAI DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM WHEY DID THE SALESPERSON ACKNOWLEDGE THIS TO ME? THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES TO MY WIFE AND I IN THE PAST YEAR AND THE VEHICLE HAS 10,500 MILES ON IT. HYUNDAI STATES THEY IT IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED AND CLOSED MY CASE. THEY DIDN'T EVEN OFFER TO HAVE ME TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE ISN'T A FIX AND IS A POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT NUMEROUS TIMES BECAUSE OF NON RESPONSIVENESS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. PLEASE HOLD HYUNDAI ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. IF A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT WORK WITH THE CURRENT ENGINE THEN THEY SHOULD BUY THE VEHICLE BACK OR TRADE WITHOUT A LOSS. THE DATE FIELD BELOW ONLY ALLOWS FOR ONE DATE? THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES AS MENTIONED ABOVE.

MY MOTHER IN LAW BOUGHT A 2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM THAT REQUIRED A 41,000 UNIT RECALL FOR THE 2016 TUSCON MODEL. SHE HAS BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOWING CAR FORUMS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND WITHOUT A SOFTWARE FIX. I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE NHTSA HAVE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE IF POSSIBLE PLEASE AND SEE ABOUT ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN THE NEW MODEL YEAR AS IT HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN FIXED. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUE.
