NHTSA Complaint #10979040 — 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON

DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION. WHILIE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN AN ON-RAMP TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE I PROCEEDED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT THERE WAS NOT ANY ACCELERATION, I KEPT PRESSING AND PRESSING AND NOTHING. SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO A SEMI WOULDN'T RUN OVER ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME. ONCE I REACHED 70MPH IT WAS LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT I PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE ANYMORE SO I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CLEARLY THIS FUNCTION DOES NOT DO IT'S JOB IN REPORTING THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ME AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER TO LOOK AT IT. ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN MY HEAD BECAUSE THIS STARTED WHEN I ONLY HAD THE CAR A MONTH. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THE CAR WILL LUNGE AT LOW SPEEDS AND SORT OF BUCK.
