2018 Hyundai Tucson

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.

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.

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.'.
