2016 Hyundai Tucson

THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE CONCERNED THE COMPUTERIZED FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT SYNC MY PHONE TO THE CAR AND OTHER ISSUES . THE SECOND SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE RAINY MORNING. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW LIGHTS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. IT FINALLY JERKED AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THEY ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KEPT HAVING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS AFTER THIS, SUCH AS JERKING, LURCHING, LIGHTS FLICKERING IN AND OUT, TO NAME A FEW. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED AND I CONSIDER THIS CAR TO BE QUITE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EVENTUALLY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A HOOD LATCH - SOMETHING I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I NEEDED AND PERFORMED A SOFTWARE CLUSTER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND DID NOT HAVE IT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, BUT EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT STILL SHOOTS OUT AFTER THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN TAPPED GENTLY, LURCHES AND JERKS FORWARD, STALLS AND STOPS, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RAINING. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT TRYING TO DRIVE THIS CAR ONCE THE WINTER HAS SET IN. I AM ALREADY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALER (WORLD HYUNDAI OF MATTESON, IL ) AND HYUNDAI MOTORS TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE ANY REAL CHANGES UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND DIES.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.6L TURBO DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ON THREE OR MORE OCCATIONS, PRESSING THE ACCELLERATOR AFTER BEING AT A COUPLE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE REVVING TO THE REDLINE AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (JUNE 18TH 2016 ~2PM), THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I TRIED TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK. I TRIED SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. NOTHING WORKED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS AS THOUGH IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THEN WITHOUT REASON, IT BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. WHEN IT DID MOVE, IT WAS EXTREMELY JERKY AND LURCHED FORWARD A COUPLE OF TIMES. THAT WAS THE WORST AND MOST FRIGHTENING. LATELY ALL IT HAS BEEN DOING IS ONCE OR TWICE A DAY ON AVERAGE IT DOES THE SLOW ACCELERATION AND LURCH. THIS HAPPENS DURING MY MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTE. ONCE IT HAS HAPPENED, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. BUT IT IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED WHICH HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE ONTO A HIGHWAY/ROAD FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LURCHES AHEAD. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND AND IT DOES NOT. ALSO GOING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND NOT REALLY ACCELERATING AT ALL IT LURCHES AND BACKS OFF AND LURCHES AND BACKS OFF. THEN WHEN YOU DO STEP ON THE GAS IT ALMOST QUITS THEN LURCHES. I'M TOLD ITS CAUSED BY THE MANUAL CELINOID WHICH CAUSES THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I'M NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A LOANER. HYUNDAI HAS SENT ME PAPERWORK TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE BUT THEN I HAVE NOTHING WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JAN 2016 AND HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM HAVING DCT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD NOTICED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE IS VERY SLUGGISH AND HAS SOME DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND AT TIMES IT LURCHES FORWARD. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT AND ONGOING ISSUE, BUT VERY TROUBLESOME, NONE THE LESS. THIS OCCURS DURING NORMAL IN TOWN TRAFFIC AND ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILLS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUES IN TRAFFIC WHERE IT ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS IN A SEVEN DAY PERIOD, AFTER DECIDING THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT TIMES. WHEN I MADE THE INITIAL APPT THE RECEPTIONISTS STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INITIAL TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COMPLETED THE LATCH RECALL AND RESET THE COMPUTER TO RELEARN THE SYSTEM, HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE SAVING GRACE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD WHILE DRIVING, THAT I PULLED OVER AND THE SOUND DIED DOWN AT BIT. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER TO HEAR THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE CONCERN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT'S THE DESIGN OF THE CLUTCH THAT GIVES DRIVERS THE SLUGGISH FEEL. I DECIDED TO COME BACK TO HYUNDAI TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND I DEEPLY REGRET THAT DECISION.

WENT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE MODEL. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE IN STOCK BUT TOLD ME THAT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON MODEL WAS JUST LIKE THE SANTA FE BUT A SMALLER VERSION. I GOT THE TUCSON VEHICLE AND IN 2 DAYS THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLEW HOT AIR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE HYUNDAI SERVICE AGENT I WAS TOLD TO ONLY USE THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE LOWEST FAN. IF I PUT IT ON A HIGHER SETTING IT WILL FREEZE UP AND BLOW ONLY HOT AIR. IT WAS 95 OUT SIDE. LATER I CAME TO A STOP AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I LET OFF ON THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN. THE ENGINE AGAIN REVVED UP FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS THEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE NEXT DAY I HAD PARKED ON A SMALL INCLINE. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE I: PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE - PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT DID NOT GO FORWARD, INSTEAD IT ROLLED BACKWARDS ABOUT 6 TO 12 INCHES THEN IT POPPED INTO GEAR AND LURCHED FORWARD. EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT HYUNDAI TUCSON. I FELT UNSAFE AND WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR ACTING LIKE IT DID. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS OF THIS VEHICLE ALL STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. SO, I TRADED IN MY 6 DAY OLD TUCSON FOR A SANTA FE - AND I AM VERY HAPPY NOW. THE TUCSON I FELT WAS THE MOST UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS AND/OR ISSUES WITH THE DUEL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE AND IF HYUNDAI DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FATALITIES OCCURRING.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 HYJNDAI TUCSON NEW AND IN LESS THAN A YEAR IT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK. EACH TIME IS THE SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THE RPMS WILL REACT TO THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. FIRST, HYUNDAI DEAL SAID IT WAS THE DCT NEEDING UPDATE. SECOND, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE ONCE IT ARRIVED AT DEALER, BUT I CONTEACT HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO HAVE A MONITORING DEVICE INSTALLED. THEY LEFT IT IN FOR LESS THEN A MONTH. THIRD, JUST OCCURED AND HYUNDAI HAS A NEW CASE ON THE VEHICLE. I INFORMED THEM VIA THE PHONE AND WILL SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER STATING THIS IS THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME, AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THE HAZARDS IT CAN CAUSE ON THE ROAD INCLUDING COLLISION, BODILY HARD, AND EVEN DEATH.
