2016 Hyundai Tucson

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.

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 INFORM THE OWNERS THEY MUST DRIVE THIS CAR LIKE A STANDARD (HUH). IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC YOU CANNOT EDGE THE CAR FORWARD THIS IS ALLOWING THE CLUTCHES TO SLIP AND OVERHEAT BUT INSTEAD YOU MUST LEAVE A 1 TO 2 CAR LENGTH GAP THEN GET THE CAR UP TO 3MPH AND STOP AGAIN IF NEEDED . THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION IT IS PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH EVERY STOP ANY DRIVER MAKES IN THIS CAR.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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 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. WHEN IT DID AND I STARTED TO GO, WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT AGAIN WOULD NOT GO. I AGAIN HAD TO REV IT UP SIGNIFICANTLY TO GET IT TO START ROLLING FORWARD. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO SHEEHY AND THEY HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS. THEY SAID THEY WENT THOUGH IT DIAGNOSTICALLY AS MUCH AS THEY COULD AND CHECKED THE FLUID, BUT STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON TUESDAY I WAS COMING .

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.
