Consumer Description

I HAVE A 2016 LIMITED EDITION TUCSON WITH 1.6 TURBO. THIS WAS NOT AN INITIAL ISSUE BUT AN ISSUE THAT BUILDS UP AND CONTINUES TO BECOME WORSE THE MORE MILES I PLACE ON THE CAR. THERE ARE HESITATIONS, STUTTERING AND FAILURE TO MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THIS CAUSES FEAR AND DOUBTS OF SAFETY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DRIVERS TEST MY VEHICLE AS WELL AND COME TO THE SAME STARTLING RESULT. THERE IS ALSO UNUSUAL VIBRATIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN SPEED, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKING. I TAKE MY CAR INTO FREQUENT AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE YET THEY CANNOT FIND A FIX TO THE ISSUE BUT RATHER EXCUSES. I NO LONGER ENJOY DRIVING MY CAR AND DO NOT TRUST THE LINE OF VEHICLES ANY LONGER.
