NHTSA Complaint #11297470 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI'S 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY, ''REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS (I.E., SELECTED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE COMPONENTS), ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED OR INSTALLED BY HYUNDAI THAT ARE DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP, UNDER NORMAL USE AND MAINTENANCE.' CURRENTLY, CERTAIN HYUNDAI VEHICLES WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO SHUDDER AND LURCH, CAUSING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR DRIVERS AND TRAFFIC. A CIVIL ACTION LAWSUIT HAS COME OUT AWARDING ANYONE WITH THESE VEHICLES MONETARY COMPENSATION BUT HAS AN UNFAIR AND POINTLESS CUTOFF AT A CERTAIN MILEAGE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLES AND STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF DRIVER'S SAFETY AS HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSIONS USE COMPUTERS, THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS NOT A CODE YET CREATED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS ALSO NOT POSSIBLE TO SWITCH THE TRANSMISSION OUT FOR ONE THAT DOES NOT LURCH FROM OTHER MODELS AS IT WILL NOT FIT INTO THE CARS CORRECTLY. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT THREATENS DRIVER'S SAFETY, IT COULD BE VIEWED AS VIOLATING PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWS. THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WORTH INVESTIGATING AND THE PUBLICITY COULD HELP DRIVERS WITH THESE VEHICLES BY PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE COMPANY TO FIX THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF JUST PAYING THEM OFF FOR THEIR SILENCE. BEST, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC
