2018 Hyundai Tucson complaints

DRIVERS SIDE LOW BEAM DOESN'T WORK AFTER CHANGING BULB. FUSE GOOD

, FROM A STOP, WHEN YOU MOVE FORWARD, YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR HESITATES TO MOVE FORWARD THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IF REVES HIGH AND THEN SPEED FASTER THAN IT SHOULD, I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TWO TIMES, THE VEHICLE HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. SOMETHING WITH THE DUAL-CLUTCH SYSTEM IS HAVING ISSUES AND WILL LEAD TO DEATH. THE VEHICLE DOES IT INTERMITTENTLY, SO YOU CAN NOT PREDICT IT WHEN IT WILL HAVE AN ISSUE, AT MIN, IT DOES THIS FREQUENTLY.

THE DUAL CLUTCH, 7 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IN MY 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON DOES NOT ALWAYS MOVE THE CAR. WHEN PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, INTERSECTION, OR CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANES THE CAR WILL STOP MOVING WHILE PARTIALLY IN THE STREET/INTERSECTION. IT WILL NOT MOVE, THE ENGINE RPM'S REV UP AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD. I AM AFRAID THAT A CAR APPROACHING ME MAY NOT STOP IN TIME AND RUN INTO ME, EVEN THOUGH I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE THE TURN. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON 9/24/2019 AND THEY SAID THEY WERE 'UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE'. I RETURNED THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON 5/5/20. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME AFTER 6 WEEKS AND THE DEALER STATED THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW UNIT AND I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS MAY NOT RESOLVE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE. ON 6/24/20 THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AT NO POINT DID HYUNDAI TELL ME THEY'VE HAD ONGOING ISSUES WITH THEIR DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. IT WAS MY OWN RESEARCH AND CONTACTING ANOTHER DEALER THAT I WAS TOLD HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS NO CURRENT SOLUTION TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAMS AND WAS TEMPORARILY BLINDED BY THE REFLECTION OFF THE HIGHWAY SIGN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SURESKY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 2 HATFIELD LN, GOSHEN, NY 10924, (845) 648-3285, WHERE THE HEADLAMPS WERE ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000.

THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO REVERSE. *TR

AS STATED IN MANY FORUMS BY MANY OWNERS,IN MY CASE THE 2.0 WITH AUTOMATIC. I HAVE A 2014 KIA SOUL AND THE 2018 TUSCON. BOTH VEHICLES ACT THE SAME,HESITATE WHEN THEY WANT TO. BOTH HAVE DONE THIS SINCE BRAND NEW AND NEITHER DEALERSHIP HAS MADE AN EFFORT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL VERY CLOSE CALLS HESITATING LIKE THIS IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC.ALSO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT ON 2018 TUCSON. *TR

HELLO EVERYONE, 2018 HYUNDAI TUSCON PROBLEM: ENGINE/AIR BAG CAUSE: UNKNOWN * AFTER A COLLISION WITH 2 LARGE DEER ON A MAIN HIGHWAY EARLY MORNING, IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP. THE BODY WORK WAS FINISHED AND I HAD THE CAR BACK, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THAT MY ENGINE WAS VERY VERY SLUGGISH. IRREGULAR SHIFTING, SLIGHT TICKING IN ENGINE BLOCK, NO LATER I HAD ISSUES WITH BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON ( THE CAR SHUT OFF) WHILE I'M MOTION ON MAIN ROAD. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT'S A TOTAL LOSS, THIS 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES HAD A BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO UNKNOWN CAUSES. I NEED SOME EXPLAINING FROM SOMEONE WHY THIS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OWNERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON AND IT CUT OFF ON ME WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM OUT OF TOWN ON 4/5/2020 ON 495 CAPITAL BELTWAY. WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT THE TAILPIPE SO I PULLED OVER AND CUT THE TRUCK OFF, I TRIED TO RESTART AND IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER, ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS LIT UP, I HAD TO CALL AAA TO TOW ME HOME, THE TOW DRIVER NOTICED OIL UNDER THE TRUCK AND EVEN AFTER HE TOWED ME AND PUT MY TRUCK ON THE STREET THERE WAS OIL ON HIS FLATBED. THIS TRUCK HAS A DEFAULT WITH THE OIL PLUG OR SOMETHING, I KEEP UP ON MY OIL CHANGES EVERY 3 MONTHS, THERE WAS NO WARNING ON THE DASH ABOUT LOW OIL OR ANYTHING BEFORE IT STARTED SMOKING. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH HOW THIS TRUCK BURNS OIL AND IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. NOW I HAVE A TRUCK SITTING THAT I CAN;T DRIVE AND STILL HAVE TO PAY A CAR NOTE ON. *TR

I HAVE THE 2018 TUSCON LIMITED 1.6T DCT WITH NO MORE THAN 12,000 MILES. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING AFTER BRAKING AND PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL NORMALLY, THE CAR STOPS ACCELERATING AND THE CAR SLOWS DOWN. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND TURNING ONTO A DIFFERENT STREET. WHEN IT HAPPENED TO MY WIFE SHE PULLED OVER INTO THE CENTER TURNING LANE, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND THERE WERE CARS TURNING BEHIND HER. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND THEY EITHER APPLIED AN UPDATE OR RESET THE TRANSMISSIONS COMPUTER; HOWEVER, A FEW HUNDRED MILES LATER AND IT'S DOING IT AGAIN. MY WIFE IS CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT; SHE SAID SHE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ANYMORE. MY FIRST VEHICLE WAS A MANUAL AND I KNOW HOW A MANUAL DRIVES AND HOW THEY ACCELERATE AFTER SHIFTING. I UNDERSTAND THAT A DCT MAY HAVE SIMILAR BEHAVIORS. HOWEVER, THIS WOULD BE SIMILAR TO SOMEONE HOLDING IN THE CLUTCH ON A MANUAL AND NOT BEING ABLE TO SHIFT GEARS, GRINDING THEM, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO NOT ACCELERATE AND ANY VEHICLE BEHIND THEM TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN SUDDENLY. WE LOVE THE CAR, BUT THE TRANSMISSION MAKES US FEEL UNSAFE AND HOPEFULLY WE DO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS DCT ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED HYUNDAI DIRECTLY ABOUT THIS AND I AM SUPPOSED TO BE RECEIVING A CALL FROM HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN 3-5 BUSINESS DAYS.

WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE OUT OF A BUSINESS DRIVE WAY, THE CAR HESITATED AT LEAST 1-3 SECONDS BEFORE ENGAGNG THE TRANSIMISSION TO ACCLERATE THE VEHICLE OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC. AS I WAS TURNING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE. I WAS IN 2 OTHER SEPARATE INCIDENTS EITHER ACCCLERATING TO GET INTO A LANE OR ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION ALMOST CAUSING ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I WAS SO SCARED, I TRADED THE 2017 TUSCON IN FOR A 2018 TUSCON HOPING THE PROBLEM WOULD BE SOLVED. IT DID NOT. IT HAPPENS IN THE 2018 TUSCON LESS OFTEN, BUT MORE INTERMITTENTLY MAKING IT EVEN MORE DANGEROUS AS YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR IF ITS GOING TO HAPPEN AND BE ABLE TO REACT APPROPRIATELY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE CONTACT HAD TO ACTIVATE THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS TO SEE THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NASSIEF HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 1059 STATE RTE 46 NORTH, JEFFERSON, OH 44047, (440) 576-1010), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

SAME DUAL CLUTCH PROBLEM AS ON 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. HESITATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS PRIOR TO ENGAGING WHICH CAUSES SIGNIFICANT DANGER IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 AND HYUNDAI CONTINUED TO DENY ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS. NOW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I TRADED MY 2016 IN FOR THE 2018 TO GET AWAY FROM THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I WAS SO SCARED. NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE NEW CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING. ALSO I WAS COASTING WITH FOOT NOT ON THE PEDAL AND NOT IN CRUISE CONTROL AND THE RPM'S SHOT UP TO 4200 THEN DOWN TO NORMAL, THEN BACK UP TO 2200 AND THEN BACK TO NORMAL. VERY SCARY. HAD CLUTCH ENGAGED CAR WOULD HAVE SHOT FORWARD INTO CAR IN FRONT OF ME. DEALER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED TROUBLE WITH BOTH PROBLEMS AND INFORMED ME THAT HYUNDAI HAS SWITCHED CLUTCH MANUFACTURERS.

I GET OIL CHANGES QUITE FREQUENTLY DUE TO THE MILEAGE I PUT IN A VEHICLE. I HAVE 7 OIL CHANGES/TIRE ROTATIONS BETWEEN NOVEMBER 2018 AND NOVEMBER 2019. ON NOVEMBER 13TH 2019 MY CHECK ENGINE LIKE CAME ON AND AT THE SAME TIME MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND. PRIOR TO THIS I HAD NO INDICATORS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. AND THAT IT'S GOING TO COST ABOUT $10,000 FOR A NEW ENGINE WHICH INCLUDES LABOR. DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE. MY CAR IS MY LIVELIHOOD AND I HAVE GOTTEN EVERY REQUIRED MAINTENANCE. THEY SAID MY CAR IS BURNING THROUGH OIL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THERE WERE ZERO SIGNS OF AN OIL LEAK AND EVERYTHING LOOKED FIND OTHER THAN THE VEHICLE HAD NO OIL. WHY DIDN'T MY VEHICLE ALERT ME OF THIS. WHY WASN'T THERE ANY INDICATION UNTIL IT WAS TOO LATE. WHERE THE HELL DID ALL THE OIL GO?? NOW I'M STUCK WITH A HIGH CAR PAYMENT FOR A VEHICLE I CAN NOT EVEN DRIVE PLUS BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR FOR MY WORK I HAD TO BE LET GO FROM MY JOB. CAN'T WORK WITHOUT A VEHICLE CAN PAY FOR $10,000 IN REPAIRS WITHOUT A JOB AND CAN'T PAY MY CAR PAYMENT WITHOUT WORKING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. THIS IS JUST RIDICULOUS ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING HYUNDAI SUGGESTS AS FAR AS MAINTENCE (FREQUENT OIL CHANGES AND SYSTEMS CHECKS ON A REGULAR BASIS. HYUNDAI SAYS 'SORRY THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU, YOU HAVE TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE.'.

THIS IS MY 2ND ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE I HAVE ALWAYS NOTICED THAT WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP (AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN) AND I GO TO PRESS ON THE GAS THE CAR DOESN'T GO. IT'S LIKE IT HESITATED BEFORE IT STARTS TO PICK UP SPEED. I ALWAYS CHALKED IT UP TO THE FACT THAT IT WAS A 4 CYLINDER BUT AFTER SPEAKING TO MY MECHANIC I FIND OUT THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND CAN BE THE SIGN OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THIS.

MOTOR KNOCKING WITH ONLY 65,000 MILES. NOT GETTING POWER

THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT OPERATE IN DRIVE OR REVERSE FROM A PARKED POSITION.

WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, IE P TO R OR R TO D OR P TO D, THE CAR JERKS / CATCHES. SOME HAVE CALLED IT "TURBO LAG". IT'S DEFINITELY MOST NOTICEABLE AT A DEAD STOP. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS "LAG" WHILE BACKING UP OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND THEN TRASFERRING TO DRIVE, AS WELL AS BEING AT A DEAD STOP AT A STOP SIGN / RED LIGHT, AND THEN ACCELERATING. BOTH EXPERIENCES HAVE BEEN IN THE CITY, HIGHWAY, TURNING, AND LOCAL ROADS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAS CAUSED OR WHAT IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE. PERHAPS IT'S THE TORQUE CONVERTER? I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW IN NOV 2018 AND HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE JAN 2019. I HAVE HAD OTHER PEOPLE DRIVE MY CAR AND THEY HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. OTHER HYUNDAI TUSCON DRIVERS HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE, AND HAVE DISCUSSED IT AT THIS WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HYUNDAI/TUCSON/2018/TRANSMISSION/WILL_NOT_ACCELERATE.SHTML

THE 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON SEL HAS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT IDLE FORWARD FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS, UNTIL THE VEHICLE GOES. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS RESET THE PROGRAMMING ON THE TRANSMISSION 2X. THERE ARE OTHER INDIVIDUALS ONLINE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH THEIR 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON. IN JUNE 2019, I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY A VEHICLE WHILE I WAS COMPLETING A LEFT HAND TURN ON GREEN WHEN AN ONCOMING VEHICLE DECIDED TO RUN THE LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. ON 10/7/19 - I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN TO RIDE WITH A TECHNICIAN. DURING THE 30 MINUTES RIDE, I FELT LIKE I HAD REPLICATED THE ISSUE SLIGHTLY BUT THE MECHANIC ONLY ASKED ME WHAT KIND OF CAR I PREVIOUSLY DROVE. WHEN I CHECKED OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP, I ASKED FOR PAPERWORK TO DOCUMENT MY ENCOUNTER, EVEN IF THE MECHANIC CLAIMED IT WAS UNFOUNDED - BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED WITH ANY AND TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO DOCUMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND ATTEMPTING TO AVERT BEING STRUCK IN THE REAR BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS, THE VEHICLE RESPONDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIKE KELLY HYUNDAI (254 PITTSBURGH RD, SUITE B, BUTLER, PA 16002, (724) 287-2701) ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DCT TRANSMISSION OPERATED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBERS 12236015, 15808024, AND 16248911. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD NOISE MY OIL LAMP LIGHT STARTED FLASHING, AFTER I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT I ACCELERATED THEN MY ALTERNATOR LIGHT CAME ON THE CAR DIED. WITHIN SECONDS MY CAR STARTED SMOKING A WHITE COLOR LIGHTLY AND THEN WITHIN MINUTES THE SMOKE TURNED BLACK AND HEAVY THEN CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE.

BOUGHT NEW. VEHICLE HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES. RPMS SKYROCKET. IF ON DOWNWARD SLOPE, CAR WILL ROLL INTO INTERSECTION UPON DEPRESSING PEDAL. ON UPWARD HILL, CAR WILL HESITATE, THEN SUDDENLY JERK AND TAKE OFF. I HAVE A ROLLED INTO AN INTERSECTION TRYING TO CROSS A 2-LANE ROADWAY AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAVE MENTIONED TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY JUST SAY IT'S THE WAY THE DUAL CLUTCH WORKS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE A FACTORY RESET. I WILL BE GOOD FOR ABOUT A DAY. STILL NO ACCELERATION WHEN NEEDING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND FEEL HYUNDAI NEEDS TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO FIX THESE VEHICLES BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES A FAMILY MEMBER. I DON'T WANT IT TO BE ONE OF MINE! OR DO A RECALL.

STARTING AT ABOUT 12000 MILES, MY CAR WILL AT TIMES FAIL TO ACCELERATE FROM.A STOP. IT HAPPENED AGAIN TODAY AND I HAD TO JAM THE PEDAL DOWN AND MY CAR REVVED TO 7000RPM BEFORE IT WOULD ACTUALLY ACCELERATE. IT KEPT DOING THIS THE WHOLE REST OF THE TIME I WAS OUT AND IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND COULDN'T GET MY CAR TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!

DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AROUND 5K MILES. THE CAR HAS 15K CURRENTLY. THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM OCCURS ABOUT 2-3 TIME DAILY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING 10-20 MILES PER DAY ON SURFACE ROUTS. FROM STOP TO ACCELERATING IN 1ST GEAR THERE IS A MUCH LONGER THAN SAFE LAG TIME BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL BEING DEPRESSED TO THE CAR ACTUALLY GAINING IN SPEED. IT SEEMS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN SHIFTS HARD INTO FIRST GEAR. IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW LIGHTLY OR FIRMLY THE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. IT IS A LARGE CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY THAT THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR PERFORM AS EXPECTED WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO RESULTS OR IMPROVEMENTS. THEY STATED THAT ALL HYUNDAI/ KIA DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS HAVE THAT PROBLEM- STATING THAT WE SHOULD DEAL WITH IT OR TRADE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE.

A MONTH AGO MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON AND DEALER SAID RODENTS HAD EATEN ELECTRICAL WIRES AND INSULATION UNDER THE HOOD COST OVER $600. TO FIX. TODAY SAME THING AND I OPENED THE HOOD TO FIND THE ENTIRE ENGINE AREA LITTERED WITH CHEWED WIRES AND INSULATION . THE SOY BASED WIRING COATING NEEDS A SAFETY RECALL,

WHEN HYUNDAI SANTA FE PASS OR NEAR BY 2018 TUCSON, BLIND SPOT SENSOR SUDDENLY TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY FOR WHILE. THEN SOME TIME PASS(MAYBE MORE THAN 30MIN), IT TURNS BACK ON. IT ONLY EFFECTS CERTAIN YEARS OF SANTA FE.

I HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE LAST YEAR. THERE IS A LOUD NOISE WHEN I TAKE OFF AFTER I HAVE STARTED THE CAR AND GO. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN THEY TOLD ME IT IS THE GEAR SHIFTER. [XXX]. THIS CAR HAS NO POWER WHEN YOU TAKE OFF AND THE BRAKES HAVE SQUEAKED SINCE DAY 2.I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND THEY HAVE SCRAPED THE BRAKES 3 TIMES. I HAVE COMPLAINED AND THOUGHT IT WAS JUST ME UNTIL I HAVE READ MORE COMPLAINTS. THIS CAR NEEDS RECALLED OR YOU NEED TO GIVE PEOPLE THEIR MONEY BACK PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

MY CAR HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT. 2 MONTHS AGO AROUND 18,000 MILES MY CAR STARTED TO HESITATE DURING ACCELERATION. IT STARTED AS ONLY SOMETIMES. NOW IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT . WHEN IT IS STOPPED AND I PUSH ON THE GAS TO GO IT HESITATES. THE RPMS SHOOT UP TO 5-6 THEN IT GOES. THIS IS DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE CROSSING SEVERAL LANES OF TRAFFIC. ALSO WHEN IN MOTION AND YOU NEED TO ACCELERATE IT WILL HESITATE AS WELL. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT'S UNDER WARRANT AND WAS TOLD IT'S THE DCT AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED. AND IT'S NORMAL. I DISAGREE BECAUSE IF IT WAS NORMAL THEN IT WOULD HAVE DONE THIS WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE CAR.

CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE MORE THAN THE SPEED OF MAYBE ROLLING THROUGH A STOP SIGN WHEN YOU ARE AT A STOP SIGN YOU CANNOT ACCELERATE AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO PEOPLE BEHIND YOU THAT WILL SMASH INTO YOU AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FLOOR THE GAS PEDAL AND WORRY ABOUT CRASHING INTO SOMEBODY IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO PROBLEM AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING THEREFORE THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I AM MOVING TO FLORIDA WHERE IT IS HOT AND HUMID ALL THE TIME WHICH IS SEEMS THAT THAT IS WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS. I WOULD LIKE A NEW VEHICLE IF THEY CAN'T FIX IT I FIND THIS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ON IT YET AS THERE ARE MANY MANY COMPLAINTS THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET

HYUNDAI 2018 HAD A OIL LEAK ISSUE DUE TO A FAULTY OIL PAN. THE OIL PAN WAS SEALED BY THE DEALERSHIP. THIS DID NOT SEEM TO FIX THE ISSUE CAUSING THE OIL TO DRAIN ON THE FREEWAY AND SEIZE THE ENGINE. I WAS COASTING ON THE FREEWAY WITH NO POWER FROM THE ENGINE. WE WERE SCARED FOR OUR DEAR LIVES.

I PURCHASED MY NEW CAR 8 MONTHS AGO WITH 2 MILES ON IT. I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO PULL OUT FROM RED LIGHTS IF ANYONE IS EVEN INSIGHT AT TIMES. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH IT JUST DOESNT WANT TO GO AT ALL. I CAN FLOOR THE GAS AND IT HESITATES FOR FEW SECONDS AS THE RPMS ARE VERY HIGH ALL YOU GET IS A ROLL INTO TRAFFIC. IT MAKES ME SO NERVOUS AT TIMES DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WORSE MISTAKE BUYING THIS VEHICLE AND WORSE PART IS I WILL BE STUCK IN AS ITS NOT WORTH HALF OF WHAT I OWE ALREADY. THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING DISCUSSED BEFORE SIGNING OR NOT ON THE MARKET TO SELL AT ALL

I PURCHASED A 2018 TUCSON IN A NOVEMBER, RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE. I WILL CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW BUT I SEE THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT SEEMS TO BE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. IT'S A HAZARD ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING IN THE FREEWAY.

VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC, FORCING ENGINE TO REACH 6.5K RPM ONCE IT BEGAN TO DO SO. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY. MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON SAME ISSUE BY VARIOUS OWNERS.

THE TRUNK HATCH OPENS UP WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT US PRESSING THE OPEN TRUNK BUTTON ON THE REMOTE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND WHEN WE WERE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE TRUNK EVEN OPENED ON IT'S OWN WHILE THE REMOTE HAD BEEN PLACED UPRIGHT ON THE GROUND! ALSO THE TRUNK OPENED ON IT'S OWN WHEN IT WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE WITH THE ENGINE OFF AND AS WE HAVE A LOW GARAGE DOOR, THE PAINTWORK WAS SCRATCHED ON THE TRUNK DOOR WHEN IT OPENED UP AGAINST IT. ON 4/5/19 WE TOOK THE CAR TO DON WOOD HYUNDAI AT 810 STATE STREET, ATHENS OH FOR THEM SEE IF THEY COULD FIND WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE HATCH AND REMOTE, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS THERE.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SLIPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN BREAK IS QUICKLY DEPRESSED WHEN ROLLING FROM A STOP. VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED. A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE RANDOMLY FAILS TO SHIFT UP WHEN ACCELERATING. ANOTHER VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DUEL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE AS DESIGNED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUMPED 5-6 TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE RESPONDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER HYUNDAI (11500 ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19116, (215) 673-7462) TO BE DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE ONLY OCCURRED DURING LEFT TURNS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

LEASED A NEW 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED FROM A LOCAL DEALER. NOTED THE HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATION WHEN TEST DRIVING. SALESMEN SAID BRAND NEW ENGINE, GAS, ETC, MOST LIKELY WILL WORK ITS WAY OUT IN DRIVING WITH NEW REFILL OF GAS. NOTICED PROBLEM ALL THE WAY HOME AFTER PURCHASE. CONTACTED DEALER NEXT DAY AFTER FILLING TANK WITH SAME ISSUE, THEIR RESPONSE "ITS A NOTED HYUNDAI USA TUCSON TRANSMISSION ISSUE". THATS IT! REPORTED TO HCA (HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS), HAD A CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED VIA AUTOMATED MAIL. NO CALL, NO MAIL FROM ANYONE AT HYUNDAI TO ADDRESS THE ASSIGNED COMPLAINT #. FILED ANOTHER COMPLAINT, RECEIVED A NEW CASE NUMBER, HYUNDAI CONTACTED ME WITH NO INFO ON MY CASE, MY DOCUMENTS SENT OR NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES WITH THEIR TUSCON 1.6L TURBO, 7 SPEED ENGINE/TRANSMISSIONS. TOOK THEM 3 MONTHS TO FULLY RESPOND TO SECOND CASE NUMBER ASSIGNED DUE TO MANY PHONE CALLS AND MAILS TO THEM ON THE CASE AND NO RESPONSE ON RESOLUTION TO THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. PENDING REGIONAL CASE WORKER TO BE ASSIGNED TO ASSESS THE TRANSMISSION AT THE SAME DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. *DT

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT IN A SHOPPING PARKING LOT AND STEPPED ON THE BRAKE TO STOP, BUT THE BRAKES FAILED AND THE CAR KEPT GOING AND WOULD NOT STOP, ULTIMATELY ROLLING UP OVER THE CURB ONTO THE GRASS AREA AND CRASHED INTO THE CONCRETE LIGHT POST. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN LAGUNA NIGUEL CA 92677 949-485-3700 ( STEVE PACHECO ) SERVICE ADVISOR

WE BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2018 HYUNDAI TUCSON IN JUNE 2018. IT HAD 1700+ MILES ON IT IN NOVEMBER 2018. WE HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE HEADLIGHTS, WHICH WE NOTED RECENTLY WHILE DRIVING ON SOME DARK ROADS. WE CAN'T SEE DOWN THE ROAD WHEN WE ARE DRIVING ON DARK ROADS. WE CAN'T SEE BENDS IN THE ROAD AHEAD OF US. THE HEADLIGHTS SHINE OUT ABOUT 30 FEET, THEN IT'S PITCH BLACK AFTER THAT. WE HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME JUST FINDING THE ENTRANCE TO OUR DRIVEWAY. WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT BECAUSE IT'S SO DANGEROUS. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALER TWICE & WE ARE TAKING IT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT DOING THE JOB & THE DEALER CAN'T SEEM TO FIX IT. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI & OTHER BRANDS WITH THE NEW LED LIGHTS. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON A RECALL LIST. PLEASE HELP. ACCIDENT PREVENTION IS CHEAPER THAN A FUNERAL. YOU NEED TO INVESTIGATE THIS. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AND THEN COMING TO A TEMPORARY STOP SUCH AS WAITING FOR A RED LIGHT TO TURN GREEN OR RIGHT ON RED OR MAKING A LEFT TURN; THEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR TO DRIVE, THEN ABOUT 20 YARDS OR SO INTO THE MOVEMENT OF THE CAR, THE CAR STOPS MOVING BUT THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING. IT DELAYS FOR ANYWHERE BETWEEN 2 AND 5 SECONDS, JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR CARS TO BE COMING RIGHT AT YOU. IT HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE WEEK, ONCE THE WEEK BEFORE AND ONCE RECENTLY, THE SAME DAY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG. IT HAS HAPPENED HERE AND THERE IN THE SEVERAL MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED IT, BUT SEEMS TO BE GETTING MORE PRONOUNCED WHERE I AM NOTICING IT MORE. I ALMOST GOT HIT FROM BEHIND TWICE AND ALMOST GOT "T-BONED" WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS IT DID NOT DO IT WHEN THEY TOOK IT OUT (I TOLD THEM IT DOESN'T DO IT ALL THE TIME AND IT PROBABLY WON'T FOR THEM.) THEY SAID THERE ARE NO BULLETINS OUT OR RECALLS AND NO CODES SHOW UP WHEN THEY TESTED IT. WELL I DID RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE TUCSON HAS HAD MANY PAST PROBLEMS LIKE THIS (LITERALLY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS) AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS IGNORING PLEAS FROM DESPERATE OWNERS BECAUSE NOTHING WAS BEING ADDRESSED. HYUNDAI FINALLY ADMITTED TO PROBLEMS WITH THE 2016 AND 17 TUCSONS AND DID A RECALL. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I AM NOW AFRAID TO MAKE LEFT AND RIGHT TURNS KEEPING IN MY MIND THAT THIS CAR IS GOING TO HESITATE, STALL, DELAY, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL

AT TIMES, WHILE DRIVING WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED, AS AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR WILL START THE VEHICLE MOVING FORWARD 'VERY' SLOWLY FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, THEN IT WILL TAKE OFF WITH FULL POWER UNTIL ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS LET OFF. WHEN THIS HESITATION OCCURS, THE ENGINE DOES NOT SOUND OR FEEL LIKE IT IS STRAINING, OR MISFIRING AT ALL, IT SEEMS MORE LIKE THE COMPUTER IS NOT SENDING THE ENGINE THE SIGNAL TO REV UP AND GO, HENCE HAVING TO FLOOR IT TO GET IT TO MOVE. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, TO THE POINT I AVOID HAVING TO MAKE LEFT TURNS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT INTERSECTIONS, BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO EXHIBIT THIS BEHAVIOR, BUT THIS CAN HAPPEN WHETHER GOING STRAIGHT, OR MAKING A RIGHT-HAND TURN. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 1,253 MILES AT PRESENT, BUT THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE IT WAS DRIVEN OFF THE LOT NEW.

AFTER ACQUIRING A LITTLE OVER A MONTH (1167 MILES ON IT) THIS CAR FAILED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND HAD TO NAVIGATE OVER 4 LANES FROM JUST MOMENTUM - COULD NOT USE MY CELLPHONE AS IT WAS TRYING TO SYNC TO THE CAR WHICH WAS NOW COMPLETELY DEAD. TOWED TO PURCHASING DEALER AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS BAD GROUND WIRE. I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AGAIN, MY PASSENGER AND I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED OR WORSE.

AROUND 1500 ,ILES THE CAR STARTED TO EITHER STALL COMPLETELY OR "JUMP" FORWARD IN AL DRIVEMODES, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP , THEY SAID IT HAS TO DO WITH TRANSMISSION BEING ESSENTIALLY A STANDARD. THEY TOLD US THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND IT NEEDS THIS OCCASIONALLY. REALLY NEVER HEARD OF THAT. OUR GASMILEAGE IS ALSO CONSTANLTY GOING DOWN. NOT HAPPY WITH THE CONSTANT SUDDEN ACCELERTION ESPECIALLY WHEN MERGING ONTO INTERSTATES. BOUGHT THIS THING BRAND NEW FEB 2018.

BOUGHT THE CAR NEW FROM DEALER THIS PAST MAY. CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE HEADLIGHTS WITH DYNAMIC BENDING LIGHT. WE HAVE NOT DONE MUCH NIGHT DRIVING UNTIL RECENTLY WE DROVE ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WASN'T MUCH SURROUNDING LIGHT. WHEN TURNING AROUND A CURVE IN THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A BLACK BAND ACROSS THE PAVEMENT APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET IN FRONT OF US AND THE EXTENDING WELL PAST THE EDGE OF PAVEMENT. WHEN WE GOT BACK IN TOWN DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL STREET, THE SOLID BLACK RECTANGLE APPEARED A COUPLE OF HUNDRED FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR AND APPEARED TO BE TO 2-3 FEET IN HEIGHT. WHEN WE DROVE THROUGH A MORE LIGHTED AREA THERE WAS NO SOLID BLACK RECTANGLE, BUT IT APPEARED SOMEWHAT GRAY WITH 2 INVERTED HALF-MOON SHAPED DARK SPOTS SEEMINGLY IN LINE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. THE HYUNDAI SERVICE MANAGER SHOWED US ANOTHER CAR, AND IT HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND APPARENTLY IS COMING FROM THE ALIGNMENT OF THE DYNAMIC BENDING LIGHT HOUSING. NIGHTTIME VISION IS SEVERELY IMPAIRED ON OUR VEHICLE.

ONCE MY BRAND NEW TUCSON HIT 500 MILES ON IT, IT SUDDENLY UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATES WHILE MY FOOT IS ALREADY PRESSING FIRMLY ON THE BREAK PEDAL. THE FIRST TIME, IT HAPPENED AS I WAS APPROACHING THE PEAK OF A HILL. I WAS GOING 25 MPH. MY FOOT WAS ALREADY PRESSING ON THE BREAKS, ANTICIPATING THE DECLINE, WHEN MY CAR JOLTED FORWARD AND TOOK OFF. MY FOOT SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS EVEN HARDER, HOWEVER I WATCHED MY SPEEDOMETER HIT 40 MPH WHILE SIMALTANEOUSLY, MY RPM DECREASED TO 1... (YES, DOWN A HILL.) FOR ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS THE RPM AND SEPPDOMETER WOULD NOT INCREASE OR DECREASE ONCE HITTING 40 MPH AND 1 RPM. I HAD TO LEAN OVER THE WHEEL AND SLAM MY BREAKS TO THE FLOOR BEFORE I REGAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. ONCE THIS OCCURRED, THE CAR LAGGED, STRUGGLING TO ACCELERATE THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE DRIVE (ALL FLAT ROADS). IT IS NOW DAY 5 OF EXPERIENCING THIS, AND IT NOW OCCURS MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, WHETHER BREAKS ARE BEING APPLIED PRIOR, OR NOT, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF ROAD I AM ON (FLAT, HILL ETC.) I WAS EXITING A PARKING GARAGE THAT HAD A MEDIOCRE RAMP TO EXIT THE GARAGE. MY VEHICLE WAS GOING 12 MPH WHEN I TURNED RIGHT TO PROCEED DOWN THE RAMP. MY FOOT SLOWLY PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL, AND MY VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 28 MPH, AND MAINTAINED THAT SPEED FOR 3 SECONDS, BEFORE RESPONDING TO MY BREAKS. YES, MY FOOT HAD THE BREAKS PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN. ANOTHER EXAMPLE, YESTERDAY I WAS ON A FLAT ROAD DRIVING AT 27 MPH WHEN IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 45 MP

THIS TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE CAR TO NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IT SHOULD, AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION KICKS IS THE CAR TAKES OFF TO FAST LIKE IT IS OUT OF CONTROL. SOME TIMES THE TRANSMISSION MAKES THE CAR JERK THREE TO FOR TIMES IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS IS UNSAFE AND I'M WEIGHTING FOR SOME ONE TO REAR END ME OR ME HITTING SOMEONE ELSE. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND HALF WAY THRU THE TURN THE CAR TOOK OFF ON ME BUT I GOT IT UNDER CONTROL. I CANT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR AND THAT IS A SHAME BECAUSE WE BOUT IT FOR HER TO DRIVE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND ALL I GET FROM THE HYUNDAI DEALER IS EXCUSES.IT GOES TO THE SERVICE DEPT.10/6/18 AGAIN.

VEHICLE SEVERELY HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP WHILE IN TRAFFIC (GEAR SHIFT IS IN DRIVE POSITION). FAILS TO ACCELERATE WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. PROBLEM PERSISTS REGARDLESS OF DRIVING MODE SELECTION.

THE VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING SEVERE INTERMITTENT FAILURES TO ACCELERATE. FAILURES OCCURR FROM A STOP AND WHILE IN MOTION. ALL GEAR LEVELS APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED. FAILURES WERE FIRST NOTICED AT APPROXIMATELY 7000 MILES.

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP.

DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM STOP. VERY UNSAFE WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AS IT WILL TAKE UP TO 10 SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO ACCELERATE. THIS HAPPENS OFTEN BUT NOT ALWAYS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
