NHTSA Complaint #11123405 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

UPON SUPPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FROM STANDSTILL CREATING A 2-3 "PAUSE" THAT IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC, FREEWAYS, ETC. THIS IS CLEARLY A PROBLEM THAT IS DOCUMENTED HOWEVER NO RECALL HAS BEEN GRANTED FOR THIS MODEL. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ROAD: CITY STREET OR A HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU NEED TO! WHEN THE POWERTRAIN DOES FINALLY TAKE HOLD, THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND PULSES FORWARD CAUSING YET ANOTHER DISTURBING AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS CONDITION FOR DRIVER AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. THIS IS CLEARLY A MECHANICAL AND/OR SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT WILL EVENTUALLY RESULT IN ACCIDENTS AND BODILY HARM. NOTE THIS CONDITION IS SOMETIMES INTERMITTENT THEREFORE CREATING A FALSE SENSE OF DRIVER CONTROL SINCE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL FACE LACK OF PROPER ACCELERATION. AT FIRST I SUSPECTED IT WAS JUST THE 4-CYL ENGINE BEING SMALL, BUT AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING EXACTLY SAME EXPERIENCE.
