2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE CEASED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. TRIPLE -A WAS CONTACTED AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO (FREEHOLD HYUNDAI 4065 U.S. 9, FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07728 (732) 625-1200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

THIS ISSUE RECUR AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT MADE US GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP 3YRS AGO. HYUNDAI OF SEATTLE SHOULD HAVE A FULL RECORD OF THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY THEN, OUR CAR SHOWS SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP TO GO. DOES NOT PICK UP ACCELERATIONS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. ON INCLINED OR CLIMB, ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME AND SEEMS TO SHAKE A BIT THEN STEADY ITSELF AFTER 2 MINS AS YOU STEP IN THE GAS TO KEEP IT IN MOTION

THIS EVENING ME AND MY FIANC WERE DRIVING 45MPH DOWN HILL ON A STRAIGHT ROAD TO GET CHRISTMAS GIFTS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE JUST DIED/STALLED (NO WARNING/DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION AND GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER, SO MY FIANC CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. THE CAR DOESN'T LEAK OIL AND WE DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY. WE CARRY EXTRA OIL IN CASE AN OIL WARNING LIGHT APPEARS SO WE ADDED OIL TO CORRECT FILL LEVEL. TO NO LUCK THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T TURN OVER. AS IT IS SATURDAY NIGHT AND TOMORROW BEING SUNDAY WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY MORNING TO GET THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER TO BE ASSESSED BY THEM. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR BURNS...

MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOW, RUMBLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED. IT STARTED GETTING LOUDER AND AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT, I COULD SEE A FIRE HAD STARTED UNDER THE CAR AROUND THE ENGINE. MY CAR WAS QUICKLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AS I WAITED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I LOST ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS IN MY CAR

THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. ON 12/5/19, MECHANIC FOUND A DRY DIP STICK AND REMOVED LESS THAN 1 QUART OIL FROM THE ENGINE AND EXAMINED FOR LEAKS. OIL CHANGES ARE IN REGULAR 5,000-6,000 INTERVALS USING SYNTHETIC 5W30 OIL AND THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FOUND AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE ON 4/11/19. OIL WAS CHECKED ON 12/8/19 AND THE OIL BELOW IS ALREADY BELOW FULL.

THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE LAST OIL CHANGE AT 52,000 MILES HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE TECH SAID THERE WAS NO OIL. IT WAS JUST ABOUT 5,000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A FAR TOO COMMON PROBLEM.

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DOES NOT ACCELERATE OR REVERSE DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IN MOTION, DOES NOT REVERSE

RECENTLY BOUGHT 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED AND THE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR WITH SHAKE AS IT IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT AND THEN FINALLY KICK IN AND START MOVING FORWARD NORMALLY. I'VE TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING FORWARD. I DON'T FEEL SAFE PULLING OUT UNLESS I HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE OTHER CAR TO STOP JUST IN CASE THE CAR DOES STALL OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEAL THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE THIS. DEALERS SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T THROW UP A FLAG THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

THERE IS AN ACCELERATION RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2016 TUCSON'S MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THERE BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEMS THAT THEY'RE RECALLING THE CAR FOR I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS FINE BUT IT ISN'T. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES I'VE HAD MY CAR MAKE THIS GRINDING SOUND WHEN I APPLY THE GAS FROM A STOP AND MY CAR IS SITTING THERE. OTHERS THAT HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME HAVE WITNESS THIS HAPPENED BUT THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS FROM A STOP EXAMPLE IF I'M AT A STOPLIGHT APPLY THE BRAKES TO GO AND THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING SOUND OR SOMETIMES WHEN I'M GOING AROUND A CORNER AFTER A STOP IT WILL HESITATE AND I'LL BE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION

MY VEHICLE STALLS TO ACCELERATE.WHEN I HIT THE GAS IT WILL STALL TO MOVE, IT'S DRAGGING VERY SLOW. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN I'M DRIVING AND MY SUV SLOWS DOWN WHEN OTHER CARS ARE DRIVING FAST BEHIND ME.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM AN IDLE POSITION, CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN MAKING A TURN, USUALLY LEFT TURN, VEHICLE STALLS AND STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS.

I WAS DRIVING IN ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT ABOUT 30 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.ON 9/10/19 I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MADE LEFT TURN AND CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN.I WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.THERE WERE NO TURNS INVOLVED IN THE FIRST INCIDENT.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BREAKS. IT DOESN'T FULLY STOPPED THE CAR WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE PADS. I HAVE TO PRESS TWICE DOWN FOR THE CAR TO STOP. DRIVER WINDOWS POWER WINDOWS SOMETIMES WHEN I AM TRYING TO CLOSE THE WINDOWS IT ACTUALLY GOES DOWN.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN I HIT THE GAS. HAS TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS.

VEHICLE DELAY TO ACCELERATE. RPMS GO UP TO 5000 BEFORE ACCELERATION KICKS IN. ALSO LAG TIME FROM STOP TO 20 MILES PER HOUR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. ALSO WITH ACCELERATING ON A HILL IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS BEFORE GOING FORWARD CAPTURING GAS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TURBO WAS REPLACED I'M STILL WAITING FOR A FULL REPORT

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE, FROM A STOP, TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME JUST LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TUCSON. HYUNDAI TOO KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS ALSO BEEN LAW SUITS FOR THE LEMON LAW AGAINST THIS VEHICLE BUT, THE DEEP POCKETS OF HYUNDAI'S CORPORATE LAWYERS ALWAYS WINS OUT. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED OR PERHAPS DEAD BEFORE A RECALL HAPPENS? THE DATE BELOW REFLECTS THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE AND THEN STOPPED.

CAR CONSISTENTLY HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP; LURCHES FORWARD AND SPUTTERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, CANNOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE VEHICLE. WHEN TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85 DEGREES OUTSIDE, CAR WILL NOT TURN ON.

THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHEN SITTING IDLE AND ABOUT TO ACCELERATE TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC, MY CAR HAS STALLED, SHOOK AND ALMOST STOPPED. IN ONE INSTANCE MY CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN I STOPPED TO TAKE SOMETHING OUT OF MY VEHICLE. UPON PUTTING IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE REVVED AND BUT DID NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. TWO TIMES ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE!! THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED THIS WEEK, DATING 8/17/12019 - 8/19/2019 AT APPROX 23,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ONCE IN OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, ONCE ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY.

DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON JUNE 20,2019 AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. RI STATE POLICE PUSHED VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER IN RI. AS OF TODAY, JULY 23,2019, THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. ENGINE IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON BREAK AND IT SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON GO DURING DRIVING

IN AUGUST 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED. SINCE DAY ONE, WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER UNTIL NEAR STALL. THE SHUDDERING OCCURS WHEN EITHER ROLLING FORWARD, ACCELERATING THE GAS, OR SITTING IDLE, AS A RESULT MY CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AT ALL TIMES. DURING MY FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS, MY WIFE'S IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND SHE IS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR THAT SHE WILL BE INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS EXCEPT THAT THE CAR CHECKS OUT FINE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DO, HOWEVER, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS NO MATTER WHAT DRIVE MODE I AM IN. I HAVE...

ENGINE FAILER,HYUNDIA WANTS ENGINE RETURNED NOT ALLOWING DEALER TO DISASEMBLE ENGINE IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE.CAR REVS UP WHEN ECLERATING FAST IN TRAFFIC EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR.

DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE SHAKES AND STALLS WHEN TRYING TO PUSH ON THE GAS AND ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND I'M STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES AND MAYBE GOES FORWARD ABOUT TWO FEET OVER 20 SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL ACTUALLY START MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD, OFTEN TIMES LEAVING ME IN AN UNSAFE POSITION IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND GAGING WHEN I CAN SAFELY PROCEED THROUGH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

BOUGHT CERTIFIED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TURBO LTD WITH ECO AND DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I'VE HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY SON AND DAUGHTER TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL. THE CAR KEPT ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT EVERY STOP, IT KEPT STUTTERING, AND WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THE RPMS KEEP RISING, AND DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS. IT REFS AND RPM GOES UP BUT IT DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS UP OR DOWN SHIFT EITHER. THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND WON'T SWITCH GEARS. IT'S LIKE IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU WANT IT TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN STOPPED IT WANTS TO STALL. TODAY IT HAPPENED. WE CAME TO A STOP SO WE COULD TURN LEFT ONTO AN ONRAMP ON HIGHWAY, (HAVE TO CROSS OVER OTHER LANE TO GO ON ON RAMP), AND IT STUTTERED AND STALLED ON OPPOSITE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIDE,...

I GO TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT IS MAKING A LOUD TAPPING NOISE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. BUT AS IT WARMED UP IT WENT AWAY SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO WORK IT WAS FINE ALL DAY BUT I FIGURED I WOULD LET THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK AT IT SINCE IT'S WASNT A PLEASANT NOISE. I DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEY SAID THE OIL IS EXTREMELY LOW (I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH) I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SO I ASSUMES ALL THE FLUIDS WOULD BE FINE UNTIL I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. WELL THEY CONTINUED WITH THE OIL CHANGE AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN THEY THEN DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL CHUNKS. THEY TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED...

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING STARTED KNOCKING STALLED OUT

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE ENGINE FAILURE. *AS *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES THEN LAST WEEK A FUEL PUMP NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING IT AND PULLING UP T =O MY HOME

HYUNDAI TUCSON ENGINE THE VEHICLE IS BURNING EXCESS AMOUNTS OF OIL. THE RATE OF ENGINE OIL LOSS IS OVER ONE QUART PER 500 MILES. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME HIS EVALUATION IS THE VEHICLE'S TURBO UNIT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN VERY HOT, AND THE INTERNAL SEALS ARE BREAKING DOWN, CAUSING OIL TO MIX WITH THE FUEL. THE SOLUTION IS AN ENGINE REBUILD, WHICH WILL COST OVER $3,000. SUCH A REBUILD WILL RESULT IN THE SAME ISSUE ARISING AGAIN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS IN USE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE, AS I HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH THEM ABOUT IT. THE ISSUE IS GENERIC TO ALL HYUNDAI TUCSONS WITH 1.6 LITRE TURBOCHARGED ENGINE. MY MECHANIC HAS RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, AND SAYS IT OCCURS IN ALL HYUNDAI TUCSON VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE CONFIGURATION. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO BUILD QUALITY, TRANSMISSION, AND OTHER COMPONENTS, BUT...

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.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WHEN MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VIOLENT SHUTTERING DURING LOW SPEEDS AND VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. HYUNDAI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. CAT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 50+ DAY FOR THE SAME ISSUES, 4 TIMES. HYUNDAI REPLACES TRANSMISSION AND I AM STILL HAVE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. THE ENGINE DIED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK. RESTART THE ENGINE .

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON LTD. 1.6 TURBO, WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). I LOVE THIS VEHICLE'S DESIGN, FEATURES, AND SPECS. THIS CAR WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE HAZARDOUS, DEFECTIVE, AND DYSFUNCTIONAL DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. OCTOBER OF 2016 NHTSA HAD HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A RECALL AND IN 2017 A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE. NEITHER HAS FIXED THE (DCT) ISSUE. FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW ROLLING STOP,THE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS LAG, SHUDDER, BUCK, HESITATE, AND LURCHES FORWARD SHIFTING BETWEEN THE FIRST COUPLE OF GEARS. AT ITS WORST IT SEEMS TO STALL THEN PROPEL FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER THE 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION TRANSITIONS SMOOTHLY. THIS SAFETY HAZARD COMES INTO PLAY WHEN DRIVERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR TRAFFIC. ESPICALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TIME AND SHOOT A GAP IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY OR AT ALL....

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AND EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OF SLOW START AFTER A ROLLING KIND OF STOP/GO SITUATION.IT GOT REALLY BAD AND STARTED SCREECHING WHEN IN A STOP/GO SITUATION OR FROM A STOP. MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE IS NO FIX. SIMPLE RESEARCH AND I FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IN FACT HYUNDAI ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND RELEASED A SOFTWARE PATCH BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE PRESSING ON GAS.

WHEN CHANGING THE CAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IT BUCKS/SHUDDERS (NOT EVERY TIME, BUT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNING). WHEN FIRST PUT INTO DRIVE AFTER SITTING ALL DAY IT'LL BOOST FORWARD AND SHUDDER AND CONTINUE TO DO THAT IF YOU ROLL ALONG AT SLOW SPEEDS. SOMETIME IF YOU ARE TURNING AND PRESS THE GAS IT WILL EITHER NOT MOVE QUICKLY ENOUGH OR SUDDENLY BOOST FORWARD. DEALER HAS RESET BOOST SENSOR, REPLACED BOOST SENSOR, AND REPLACED TERMINAL BOOST SENSOR PLUGS INTO. I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

COMING TO A STOP /SLOW ROLL AND ACCELERATE THERE IS A BAD HESITATION. CAN BE UNSAFE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAD HYUNDAI 149 RECALL PERFORMED AND PROBLEM IS BETTER BUT NOT FIXED. TALKED TO HYUNDAI SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX UNLESS HYUNDAI COMES OUT WITH NEW RECALL PROGRAM.

I HAVE OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR 2.5 YEARS. IN THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SEVERAL ISSUES THAT CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED WHEN AT THE SERVICE CENTER AND DEEMED "WORKING FINE, NO CODES PRESENT AT THIS TIME". MY ISSUES HAVE INCLUDED LOSS OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL AFTER A STOP (SOFTWARE UPDATE FIXED), INTERMITTENT HEADLAMP THAT WON'T TURN ON, THE MEDIA DISPLAYING "BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING" WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN MOTION (HEADLAMP REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL TIMES TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE WARNING LIGHT GO ON WHILE THE TECHNICIAN WAS THERE). NOW THE COMPUTER/DASH BOARD IS RESTARTING ITSELF AT 45 MPH . THIS HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES. THE DASH BOARD WENT DARK FOR 1 SECOND AND THEN STARTED BACK UP THROUGH IS STARTUP SEQUENCE. DURING THIS TIME, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TRANSMISSION. IF YOU...

THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON WITHOUT ANY AUGURIES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WE PULLED OVER THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT BE STARTED AGAIN AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEN WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN WE ASKED HOW IT HAPPENED, THEY TOLD US THAT OUR ENGINE OIL PLUG WAS MISSING, SO ALL THE ENGINE OIL WAS DRAINED OUT. THEY CHECKED OUR MAINTENANCE RECORD, AND FOUND THAT WE HAD AN OIL CHANGE THREE MONTHS BACK AT ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT THE ENGINE OIL PLUG WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED DURING LAST MAINTENANCE SERVICE, BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE ABOUT IT, AFTER ALL IT HAD BEEN 3 MONTHS NOT 30 MINUTES SINCE THEN. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN...

WHEN ACCELERATING I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES FORWARD AND THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE WHILE THE RPMS CONTINUE TO RISE BUT AT THIS POINT YOU ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER, IM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS. THEN, SOMETIMES 2 SECONDS, SOMETIMES 5-10 SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND THE CAR LAUNCHES FORWARD DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. IM SURE THIS ISNT GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF A CAR LAUNCHING IN THIS MANNER. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE RPMS RISE BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING AT ALL. I WILL PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CAR STILL WONT MOVE. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAFONTAINE HYUNDAI IN DEARBORN, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.

THIS SUV STUTTERS AND HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. AT A STOP ENTERING TRAFFIC LANES VERY UNSAFE WHILE IDLING WILL STUMBLE AND SHAKE. RPMS WILL RAMP UP WITH NO TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT. THIS IS OUR 3RD TRANSMISSION I DON'T THINK HYUNDAI HAS A FIX FOR THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR WAS $35000 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES? UNSAFE. UNACCEPTABLE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AND ITS TRANSMISSION ONLINE HYUNDAI OFFERS NO LONG TERM SOLUTION

MY CAR HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING (7X), INABILITY TO REVERSE (2X), AND A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT LIMITS MY SPEED (2X). TROUBLE ACCELERATING IS PRESENT IN ALL CASES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN OCTOBER 2015, AND A RECALL ON THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE RECALL WAS TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE CAR'S INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEMS STARTED IN MAY 2016 AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORMAL OPERATION OF DCT. IN DECEMBER 2016, THE SECOND PART OF THE DCT SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE. ONCE THE WARMER WEATHER CAME, MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUES IN APRIL 2017, JUNE 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, UPDATE), SEPTEMBER 2017, THREE TIMES IN OCTOBER 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, NORMAL), AND TWICE IN MAY 2018. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE IN WARM WEATHER...

THE CAR DOESN'T RELIABLE ACCELERATE AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. INTERMITTENTLY IT TAKES UP TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE FROM A STOP. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC HAS CAUSE NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MANY OCCASIONS. YOU MAY PUSH THE PEDDLE DOWN AND IT SIT THERE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHOOT FORWARD. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER OVER 6-7 TIMES AND THEY STATE "THEY ALL DO THAT". IT HAS BEEN THAT WAS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN 2016 AND HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A LAWYER SINCE BUT HAVE STOPPED DUE TO FEES.

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GEAR SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ENGINE/ ACCELERATION MALFUNCTION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD *JS

2016 TUCSON LIMITED WITH 1.6 TURBO ENGINE. I HAVE HAD RECENT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BOGS DOWN OR SEEM TO CUT OF WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC FROM AN OFF RAMP, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TRYING TO GET IN ANOTHER LANE IN TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD STOP AS IF THE ENGINE HA CUT OFF. I HAVE TO TRY TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT TO1ST GEAR OR SWITCH TO A SPORT MODE FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO MERGE FROM AN OFF RAMP OR CHANGE LANES OR EVEN LEAVING PARKING LOTS TO MERGE ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED QUITE FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE SOME VERY NARROW MISHAPS WITH CARS SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID RUNNING IN TO ME. I...

NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, ROLLS BACK WHEN AT A STOP OF ANY INCLINE, LUNGES FORWARD AFTER A STOP SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN EVERY MODE IT DOES THE SAME, THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. MY DAUGHTER GOES TO COLLEGE OUT OF STATE AND IS ALWAYS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING HER CAR. I AM NERVOUS AS A PARENT SO FAR AWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES TO NOTE IT IN THE FILE, WHEN SHE GETS BACK THIS MAY WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE IT BOUGHT BACK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WHEN IN TRAFFIC, THE STALLING IS EVEN WORSE. SHE HAS ALMOST HIT CARS IN FRONT OF HER SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH HESITATION IN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION.

MY CAR TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING WITH NO INDICATORS LIGHTING UP. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT FOR OIL CHANGE CLOSER TO MY WORK; BUT HAD TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO KNOCK AGAIN NO INDICATORS CAME ON. I FINALLY GET TO A DEALERSHIP FOR KIA AND AGENT TOLD ME THEY HAD TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE PAST CARS LIKE 2014,2015,2016 ALL HAD ENGINE TROUBLE. THEN TOLD ME ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND I SHOULD PARK IT TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE . I TOLD HIM BUT CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. BOUGHT IT IN 2016 BRAND NEW; BUT BECAUSE OF MY NEGLIGENCE OF GETTING THE OIL CHANGE ON TIME; I HAVE TO COVER MY OWN REPAIRS.---AGAIN NO INDICATOR TELLING ME ITS OUT OF OIL OR RUNNING HOT CAME ON.

WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR STATIONARY, THE CAR HESITATES, ALMOST SEEMS TO CHOKE, AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD WITH A BURST WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS HARD TO ANTICIPATE WHETHER IT WILL MOVE OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN. ONCE MOVING THE CAR SEEMS TO OPERATE AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED IN AN EARLIER RECALL (AUGUST 2016). A SOFTWARE "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD, I FELT THERE WAS SOME SMALL NOTICEABLE POSITIVE CHANGE. HOWEVER, ANY EARLY INDICATION OF IMPROVEMENT HAS NOW BEEN LOST. IT IS DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT THE CAR MAY CHOOSE TO GO OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS EXTREMELY OFTEN - ALMOST DAILY. WHILE I SELECTED A DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW, IT WAS ONLY TO SATISFY THE FORM'S REQUIREMENTS.

I HAD TAKEN MY TUSCON IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR ALL THE SAME ISSUES EVERY TIME (1) DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHILE CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON IN THE CAR (2) NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE RPM'S REVVING HIGH BEFORE FINALLY JERKING INTO GEAR AND TAKING OFF AND (3) JERKING WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AND I PRESS THE GAS. ALL 3 TIMES, THE "REPAIR" WAS EXPLAINED TO ME AS A "COMPUTER UPDATE". THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN THE ISSUES WOULD RESUME. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THIS IS HOW THE DCT WORKS. THEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL BEING ISSUED AND I THOUGHT "OH YAY! THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I CAN TAKE IT IN THIS ONE LAST TIME AND I'LL BE GOOD TO GO!" AFTER...
