Consumer Description
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON SPORT 1.6 TURBO. IT HAS A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. EVERYTIME I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR SLOWLY THE CAR TAKES 5 SECONDS TO START MOVING. WHEN IT DOES MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CHATTERS AND IS NOT SMOOTH. AS I AM SLOWING DOWN , STOP, THEN PROCEED TO GO THE TRANS EITHER DOES NOT ENGAGE OR THERE IS A 5 SECOND DELAY , CHATTERS , AND THEN TAKES OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I THINK IT IS GOING TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I AM TURING. WHICH IT HAS DONE AT LEAST 10 + TIMES. I ALMOST GOT HIT 6 TIMES. IF YOU LOOK ON HYUNDAI FORUMS AND YOUTUBE IT IS A WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS THURSDAY 7/28/16. I HAVE OVER 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, AND HAVE 15 YRS DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
