NHTSA Complaint #10895193 — 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON

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.
