2016 Hyundai Tucson

VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FROM A STOPPED POSITIONING A CITY STREET HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY 4 TIMES IN FIRST 2900 MILES. VEHICLES CURRENTLY HAS 3100 MILES. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, I DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR TO START MOVING AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REVS TO 3000-4000 RPMS,, BUT CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT MOVE!!!! RELEASE ACCELERATOR, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND CAR JERKILY MOVES FORWARD AFTER 4 TO 5 SECOND HESITATION. TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE, AT FIRST VISIT NO ERRORS CODES FOUND AND DEALER ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN AWAY PROBLEM "AS THIS IS HOW THE NEW TRNSMISSION WORKS, IT HAS A SMALL HESITATION". SECOND TIME AT DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM. AFTER STOPPING, ENGINE REVS BUT CAR FAILS TO MOVE. AGAIN, NO ERROR CODES FOUND NOR DID CAR EXHIBIT PROBLEM FOR SERVICE TECH. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CALL HYUNDAI CONSUMER RELATIONS TO LOG THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO AS MANY OTHER ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV BUT NOT MOVE THE CAR. FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL GEAR AND JUST REVVING THE ENGINE. ALMOST GOT HIT FROM A CAR AS WE PULLED OUT TO TURN RIGHT FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A STOP LIGHT, PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. JUST REVVED FOR ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY GOING INTO A GEAR AND MOVING THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!! JUST WENT TO THE DEALER TO DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THE CAR WAS "WORKING AS DESIGNED."

WHEN STOPPED AND HITTING THE GAS PEDAL THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL REV THE ENGINE AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE GOING UPHILL AND I HAD TO WAVE GARS BEHIND ME TO PASS. 1.6T ENGINE WITH THE DCT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS THE VEHICLE'S WAY OF NOT HURTING THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER IT DOESNT SEEM TO ME, AN AVERAGE DRIVER WHO HAS OWNED MANY CARS AS IF THIS WOULD BE SAFE OR NORMAL FOR ANYTHING MOVING ON A ROAD.

PURCHASED NEW TUSCAN AND HAS 200 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE STARTED BACKING UP INTO OUR GARAGE AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING NOT TO DRIVE CAR DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVER HEADING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER A DAY THEY ADVISED US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE ECO MODE AS THE TRANNY HEATS UP. I'M CONCERN THAT MY WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT AND THIS WAS SUCH A PROBLEM , IT WOULDN'T GET FIXED. I'M SURE ALL THE TESTS FOR MILEAGE WAS DONE IN THIS ECO MODE. PLUS SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE FACT WHEN BACKING UP, IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OF ACCELERATOR THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET RAN OVER THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WILL FREEZE UP DURING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER. THIS WILL HAPPEN REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY ABOUT EVERY 60-90 MINUTES. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE SOLUTION IS TO STOP, TURN VEHICLE OFF, AND LET SYSTEM THAW FOR 10-15 MINUTES. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER BUT THEY CAN'T FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES RELATED TO THE ISSUE APPEAR IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOP.

PROBLEM CONCERNS THE 7-SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH PLATES IN THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE OR ANY FORWARD GEARS AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, TOLL BOOTH, ETC. WHEN YOU APPLY POWER TO MOVE FORWARD THE CLUTCH PLATES INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. EVEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN 1ST (VS DRIVE) DOES NOTHING. THE ONLY GEAR THAT WORKS WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS REVERSE. YOU'LL HAVE TO BACK YOUR WAY OUT OF THE INTERSECTION TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! BE CAREFUL OF REAR-END COLLISIONS OR BEING SIDE-SWIPED AS FOLKS TRY TO GET AROUND YOU. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PUT TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. GRADUALLY INCREASE RPM TO ABOUT 4,000, TRANSMISSION WILL START TO ENGAGE. CRAWL FROM THE SHOULDER TO A PLACE OF SAFETY. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES OR LONGER (IF POSSIBLE). MAKE SURE ALL SYSTEMS ARE OFF, EVEN INTERIOR LIGHTS (VERY IMPORTANT). ESSENTIALLY, THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION MUST HAVE TIME TO RESET COMPLETELY. RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION WILL PROBABLY ENGAGE NORMALLY. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY TELL ME THEY SIMPLY CAN'T FIX IT, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOW THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED. DEALER HAS TRIED TO RESET AND RE-LEARN TRANSMISSION COMPUTER BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM ANOTHER OWNER ABOUT THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS

TAKATA RECALL; WHILE IN TRAFFIC I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT ONLY DROPPED TO LOW RPM AND COASTED. NO WARNING LIGHTS. AFTER COASTING CAR BEGAN TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS TURBO DELAY ON 1.6T ENGINE AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TURBO DELAY AND CAR IS NOW SETTING AT THE DEALER AS THIS LAST TIME MADE IT TO THE LOT ON LATE SATURDAY. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE HOME. WILL WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY FIND BUT PROBABLY WILL NOT REPEAT OR GET FIXED. I NOW SEE OTHER WEB SITES GIVE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. ONLY HAS 6400 MILES ON IT SINCE 8/19/2015

ON JANUARY 11, 2016 I WAS GOING ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO INTERSTATE 10 IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. AND AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A LAG TIME IN THE ENGINE, AND POWER WAS NOT GETTING TO THE WHEELS. I HAD THE ACCELERATOR FLOORED AND IT JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT PROPELLED ME FORWARD VERY FAST. I HAD A SEMI RIGHT BEHIND ME, AND I COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE UNTIL IT FINALLY KICKED IN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THAT TRUCK WOULD HAVE HIT ME. THE VEHICLE HAD 4703 MILES ON IT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A BUSY STREET ON MARCH 20, 2016. I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND WHEN I WENT FORWARD, IT GOT UP TO 18 MPH AND THEN JUST NOTHING, NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. THE TACH SAID THE ENGINE WAS REVVING, BUT I WAS GOING NOWHERE. THIS HAPPENED AT THE NEXT 7 TRAFFIC LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS AND EACH TIME WAS THE SAME THING, 18 MPH STOPPING, AND PROPELLING ME AT 33 MPH. THIS WAS EACH AND EVERY TIME. THE MILEAGE WAS 6695 AT THE TIME. THERE IS A SERIOUS LAG TIME IN THE 1.6 LITER ENGINE, THAT HYUNDAI HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF. I CONTACTED THEM BOTH TIMES, AND THE CASE # IS 8735263. THEY BASICALLY JUST TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS IT DIDN'T REGISTER ON THE COMPUTER EITHER TIME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY OTHERS ACROSS THE US. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AS I FEAR THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I COULD BE KILLED, OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE HURT/ KILLED. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN SEPT.2015, AND IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. I CAN'T GET RID OF IT, AND I CAN'T TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO I'M BASICALLY SCREWED AND STILL OWE 64 MORE PAYMENTS OF $332.00 ON IT. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING ME SOMETHING THAT COULD BE A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

PURCHASED VEHICLE 12/13/2015. TODAY (4/24/16) DRIVING VEHICLE IN NORMAL TO LIGHT TRAFFIC, FOUR TIMES VEHICLE LOST POWER. I STEPPED ALL THE WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 8 MILES WHEN THIS STARTED. CURRENT MILEAGE 4452. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN ON FREEWAY/HIGHWAY I WOULD BE AFRAID OF GETTING HIT IN THE REAR.
