2016 Hyundai Tucson

WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS, UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. RPMS INCREASED HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. USUALLY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE WOULD WORK. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ON JULY 6,2016 THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE ON THE COMPUTER, AS WELL AS THE TECH DRIVING DID EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD WITH KEEPING US UP TO DATE. WE WAITING TO HEAR FROM HYUNDAI ON HOW THEY INTEND ON FIXING THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS OR LONGER. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME RIGHT IN THE MORNING FROM MY DRIVEWAY. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CAR WAS INCHING FORWARD WHILE GIVING IT PLENTY OF GAS/RPMS. CAR FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND STARTED TO MOVE AND WAS DRIVING NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT SINCE IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. THEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, ONCE IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE SAME THING, INCHING FORWARD, HIGH RPMS, FINALLY TOOK GEAR AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND MANY UPSET PEOPLE BEHIND ME. THIS BRING ME TO YESTERDAY, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY NON-STOPPING CROSS TRAFFIC, WAITING TO CROSS THE STREET, FOUND AN OPENING AND STEPPED ON THE GAS EXPECTING THE CAR TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO MOVE THROUGH, BUT SUDDENLY MY CAR JUST DECIDED TO NOT MOVE WHILE STUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONCOMING CAR HAD TO SWERVE AND NEARLY HIT MY HOOD. FINALLY CAR STARTED TO MOVE TO BARELY MAKE IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE 2ND ONCOMING CAR, SCARY STUFF. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY 2 INCIDENTS AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL FOR THE TURBO". ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I DRIVE UP AN INCLINE (SAY A PARKING GARAGE) WHEN I GET TO THE TOP AND LEVEL OUT, MY CAR GETS A HUGE RUSH OF RPMS AND IM NOT EVEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS AT ALL RELATED, BUT JUST ASSUMING THAT IT IS PART OF THE BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. CAR IS 2016 TUCSON, LIMITED, ULTIMATE PACKAGE, AWD I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. I HOPE THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS SOON.

I AM EXPERIENCING AN UNSAFE ISSUE WITH 2016 HYUNDAI NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. BOUGHT ON 02/22/16 AT WILLIAMSBURG HYUNDAI, VA. IN MAY, EARLY JUNE, THERE WHERE 3 OCCASIONS AFTER STOPPING THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. EARLY JUNE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING, HAPPENED. THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS ALMOST HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME. HAD TO SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD. MID-JUNE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, HIT THE GAS, THE CAR SAT STILL. THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. MY WIFE HAD TO PLACE IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE BEFORE SHE COULD MOVE FORWARD CAUSING HER TO SIT THROUGH THE ENTIRE CYCLE ON THE LIGHT. LATE JUNE ENTERING MEG AUTO SPA (CAR WASH), STOPPED TO ENTER THE WASHING TUNNEL AND COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK AND THE BACK TO DRIVE. SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 06/27/2016. TOLD THAT LAG IN SHIFTING WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE ANYWAY. DAY 1 WAS CONTACTED BY DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ISSUE BUT WANTED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A WEEK TO TEST. AT THE END OF EACH DAY THEY CONTACTED US TO KEEP US INFORMED AS THE STATUS OF THE TESTING. ON FRIDAY, JULY 1ST, I WAS INFORMED THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY WILL SEND THE DATA TO HYUNDAI ENGINEERS TO BE STUDIED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT OTHER DEALERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE. WE RETURNED TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY JULY 5TH WHERE WE WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR WHILE THIS ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED. SO FAR THE DEALER SHIP HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE AND ATTENTIVE TO OUR SITUATION. HOWEVER, AS OF TODAY, JUNE 14, 2016 THEY STILL HAVE OUR CAR AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE LEFT TURN LANE OF AN INTERSECTION. WHEN THE TURN ARROW WENT GREEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED MOVING. ONCE I WAS UNDERWAY THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY GO. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED RESPONDING NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES REPORTED SIMILAR TO THIS. THEY PLAN TO RESET THE DCT TO FACTORY SETTINGS BUT I NOW HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ..UPDATED 06/08/17 *BF

PROBLEM WITH DCT TRANSMISSION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTIES ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND JERKS BACK AND FORTH BUT DOES NOT FULLY ACCELERATE. ALSO, SOMETIMES IT FAILS TO MOVE AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS GO UP TO 4000-5000 RANGE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS THROUGH TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE.

2016 TUSCON LIMITED..SAME ISSUE AS INDICATED HERE WITH DISENGAGED DCT TRANSMISSION AFTER BEING STOPPED, OR VERY SLOW SPEEDS. AT 3500 MILES MINE STARTED WITH A VIBRATION AT 1-2 MPH, DEALER NOTED THE ISSUE BUT HAD NO FIX. ENGINEER WAS SENT TO REVIEW. NOW AT 6000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO DISENGAGE AT RANDOM TIMES. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND A CASE WAS OPEN. MY BUSINESS PARTNER ALSO PURCHASED ONE ON THE SAME WEEKEND AS I DID, AND SOME FRIENDS DID ALSO A FEW MONTHS LATER. ALL 3 OF THE CARS ARE AT THE DEALERSHIP. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE IT. I HAVE REQUESTED A BUYBACK. IF I DO NOT GET THIS TO HAPPEN SOON, I WILL SEEK LEMON LAW OR OPEN UP A CLASS ACTION. VERY UNSAFE AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED ON A LEFT TURN INTERSECTION

ABOUT MID-MAY OF THIS YEAR MY HUSBAND EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ACCELERATION (AS IF IN STUCK IN NEUTRAL) AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, THE CAR REVVED TO 3500-4000, BUT THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CAR WAS WITHOUT POWER FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN TERRIFYINGLY LURCHED FORWARD AS THOUGH SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 06/21/2016 AND WERE TOLD THAT OUR CAR NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND ALL THE ADAPTIVE VALUES WERE RESET. WE TOOK OUR TUCSON BACK. ON 07/07/16 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, OUR TUCSON LOST ACCELERATION/POWER AGAIN WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A BUSY RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE JUST REVVED UP TO 4000+ RMP, ROLLED BACKWARDS AND HAD NO POWER OR FORWARD ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND THE LOSS OF POWER WAS ABOUT 20 SECONDS. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO BRING OUR TUCSON IN IMMEDIATELY. OUR CAR WAS KEPT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND ON MONDAY MORNING, JULY 11TH I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE LOSS OF POWER AND NO ERROR MESSAGES WERE IDENTIFIED AND "THAT WAS JUST HOW THE DUAL TRANSMISSION (DCT) FUNCTIONS". I PICKED UP MY CAR, DROVE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION/POWER AGAIN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A BUSY STREET FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS TIME THE LOSS OF POWER WAS A FULL 45 SECONDS OR MORE. THE ENGINE REVVED TO OVER 6000 RPM AND SPUTTERED, SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF WHAT FELT LIKE NEUTRAL, IT WAS TERRIFYING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT! I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED THAT SOMEONE TEST DRIVE WITH ME BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR WOULD BE LOOKING AT MY CAR. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OUR TUCSON. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED COMPLETELY AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM.

THE VEHICLE IS A LIMITED WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). VEHICLE HAS 1,052 MILES ON IT, AND I PURCHASED NEW ONE MONTH AGO. STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT HEAD OF LINE. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO APPLY GAS PEDAL. CAR IS IN DRIVE, STANDARD MODE. ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. SWITCHED TO MANUAL SHIFT AND STILL NO MOVEMENT. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, THOUGH ENGINE WOULD REV. ONCE TRAFFIC CLEARED FROM BEHIND ME, I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE REVERSE AND BACK THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL WOULD NOT ENGAGE ANY OF THE FORWARD GEARS, BUT WOULD ENGAGE REVERSE GEAR. I WAITED AN HOUR WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND IN PARK FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE ENGAGE A FORWARD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. AFTER ONE WHOLE DAY AT THE SERVICE REPAIR, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG.
