2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Power Train Problems

FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CAR HESITATED SLIGHTLY FROM A DEAD STOP WHILE WE ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS FROM THE CAR INDICATING ANY ISSUE. BECAUSE IT SEEMED ODD, WE MADE A APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WHILE WAITING FOR OUR APPOINTMENT ON JULY 12TH, 2020, MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, SUCH THAT THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SPIN WITH NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS AT HIGHER RPM'S. FEATHERING THE THROTTLE, A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH COULD BE ATTAINED ON FLAT GROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER ON HILLS. AFTER LIMPING IT ALONG TO A LOCAL SHOP, WERE WERE TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH HAD FAILED SENDING SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY KNEW THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HYUNDAI DE MAYAGUEZ, MAYAGEZ, 00682, PUERTO RICO, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.

WHEN STARTING FROM A FULL STOP THE CAR HESITATES FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING; MAKING IT UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR BECOMES VERY JERKY AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT IS WORKING THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD.WE HAVE LOST OUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE,

MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH POWER. MY CAR HAS STOP ON THE HWY AND HAS CLANKING NOISE WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO 4000RPM. IT'S SLOW TO SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES STAYS AT 50MPH NO MATTER HOW LONG MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AND EVEN HAD A TUNE UP AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. IN REVERSE IT'S FINE BUT GOING FORWARD THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T HAVE $5000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

THE CAR DOESNT GO WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM EXASTURBATED WHEN THE CARS 1ST 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AND ANYTIME I GO FROM A COMPLETE STOP FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS, THERE IS LITTLE MOMENTUM, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TO USE THE 7 SPEED MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY PULLING OUT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, VERO BEACH IS RUDE! GETTING A LOANER FOR THIS RECALL WAS HORRIFIC THE 1ST TIME, AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A VEHICLE THE 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH TIME. #2 THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR, DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES, GOD FORBID THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING AND GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL LIGHT WARNING LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DESPITE THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH ENGINE FAILURE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,904.

NOT LONG AFTER I GOT THE CAR I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. MY CAR WOULD BE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS COLLISIONS (FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I'M TURNING LEFT AND NEED TO GO BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHES ME BUT THE CAR HESITATES TO MOVE. THIS HESITATION IS ALSO OFTEN EVIDENT WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY). I ENDED UP EMAILING HYUNDAI USA IN MARCH OF 2017 TO INFORM THEM OF MY ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL BACK, AND WAS HOPEFUL THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS THAT WOULD HELP FIX THE ISSUE, BUT IN THE END, THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?' I AM NOW EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AFTER...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED JERKING AND VIBRATION. THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED FROM A STANDING START. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (KING HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 1399 S FEDERAL HWY, DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33441) WHO PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

THE DRIVER AND BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES BOTH JUST JAMMED ONE DAY, THE DRIVER WINDOW SWITCH SHORTS OUT, DASH LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TICKING FOR MONTHS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS DUE TO LOW OIL AND REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT. NOW ITS TO THE POINT OF TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE.... PLEASE HELP ME I HAVNT EVEN HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS YET

OUR TUCSON SHIFTED DOWN AS WE PULLED INTO AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN 5 MPH. WE WERE NEARLY STRUCK BY A TRACTOR-TRAILER. THIS IS THE THIRD SERIOUS INCIDENT INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL HYUNDAI REPLACES THE TRANSMISSION.

THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (ABOUT TWICE A MONTH, IN VARIOUS TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS), WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW ROLL OR A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE HAS REVVED FREELY AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD, DESPITE BEING IN DRIVE. THIS OBVIOUSLY CREATES AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE CONDITION, SINCE THE LOSS OF PROPULSION HAPPENS ENTIRELY WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN RESULT IN A COLLISION. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF ISSUES WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSIONS IN 2016 AND OTHER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, AND HAS ISSUED A TSB TO ADDRESS PROBLEMATIC UNITS (TSB # 19-AT-002H). DESPITE THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY AND PREDICTABLY EXHIBITS SYMPTOMS IDENTIFIED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PORTION OF THAT TSB (JUDDER WHEN COASTING FROM A STOP), MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER HAS CONSULTED WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE...

GOT THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP IN JULY LAST YEAR. A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED YOU WOULD NOTICE A HESITATION FROM THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILES DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD KNOCKING NOISES ONE MORNING AND BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. GOT IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOP AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A "GOODWILL" REPAIR WHICH WILL END UP COSTING $4800. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS NOTED FROM THE 2016 TUCSON OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED BEFORE FOR A TUCSON SECONDARY HOOD LATCH RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO MANLY HYUNDAI (2755 CORBY AVE, SANTA ROSA, CA 95407) WHERE AN UNKNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING GEARS, DRAGGING. THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS GONE OUT LIKE 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I SEE A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS ON TUCSON MY YEAR MODEL BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT SAYS NO ACTIVE RECALLS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? *TR

MY CAR KEEPS HAVING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. IT STRUGGLES TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHEN I TRY TO GO TO 40 MPH. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY ESPECIALLY GETTING INTO HIGHWAYS SINCE I STRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC UPON ENTERING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ALREADY AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A TEMPORARY HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND THEN RETURN TO OPERATING AS INTENDED. WILLIAMS HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (2845 E SAGINAW ST, LANSING, MI 48912 517-484-1341) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HESITATION WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*DT

AS I WAS PULLING ONTO HIGHWAY FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR PAUSED AND REVVED ENGINE AND THEN KICKED INTO GEAR AND WENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLE DRIVING TOWARDS ME, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS.

MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO DCT HAS A DANGEROUS RANDOM "SHUDDER/HESITATION" SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.*DT A "SHUDDER / HESITATION" RANDOMLY OCCURS AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I'VE BROUGHT UP MY CONCERN EACH TIME I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SERVICE. I HAVE ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THE MECHANICS REPORT THAT "IT DIDN'T OCCUR FOR THEM, OR SHOW-UP ON THEIR COMPUTER, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT". I'VE EXPLAINED EACH TIME THAT IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEED WHEN SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP, WHEN PARKING PULLING IN OR OUT OF A SPACE OR DRIVEWAY, AT STOP SIGNS EITHER SLOWLY STOPPING, OR PROCEEDING FORWARD AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, AND SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I AM POSITIVE THAT HYUNDAI IS VERY AWARE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 2016 TUCSON ECO DCT. I RECENTLY...

HELLO, I BOUGHT A USED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO LESS THEN A MONTH AGO FROM AUTONATION THAT HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON FOR A P259F TROUBLE CODE FOR A TURBOCHARGER POSITION SENSOR THAT I HAD GOT FROM USING AUTONATION'S VEHICLE APP. NATURALLY , I CALLED AUTONATION TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BEFORE I BROUGHT MY IN VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I DID BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FROM MY TURBO, BUT THAT IT HAD GONE OFF AND THAT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, AND TO GO TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR A SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC IF THE ISSUE CONSISTED. ON THE SAME DAY OF GETTING MY CAR BACK, I STARTED NOTICING ENGINE PERFORMANCE ISSUES, MY ACCELERATION WOULD BE...

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

THE TRANSMITTION FAIL AND DOING A HITS IN LOW VELOCITY OTHER STING IS WHEN I TAKE A UP HILLS AND STOP THE SUV, IT GO BACK QUICKLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THE SUV CAN,T HOLD IN STAND BY UNTIL STAR THE TRIP

ON DEC 17, 2019 AT THE INTERSECTION OF PINEVILLE MATTHEWS RD AND 485 IN PINEVILLE N.C.AT APPROX 5:00 PM TURNING LFT ON TO 485 I WAS NEARLY T BONED AT THE INTERSECTION DUE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT DID.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.THE SUV NOW HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME. WERE THEY WILL NOT DOCUMENT WHAT I ASK THEM TO DOCUMENT AND ONLY RECORD AN EVASIVE STATEMENT OF DRIVING CONCERNS.AND TELL ME IN THE END WE DID RESET THE CONTROL MODULE BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE YOUR CONCERN. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS AT TIMES WHILE IN GEAR. DEALERSHIP KEFFER HYUNDAT MATTHEWS N.C.

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ONCE IT STARTS MOVING THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND SLIPS FROM 1 TO 2ND GEAR. SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER IT WILL STILL DO IT. THE CAR HAS 56K MILES ON IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE DOING IT MORE OFTEN NOW. I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER READING UP ON IT, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 1.6 TURBO TUCSON. ALSO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO STOP WORKING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST WORK AS IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AS WELL. I'M AFRAID WE'RE ARE GOING...

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.

EVERY DAY MY CAR STUTTERS AS I BEGIN MY DAY TO WORK. IT LAGS IN ACCELERATION AT LEAST ONE TO THREE TIMES A DAY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I ACCELERATE IN RUSH HOUR, TRYING TO GO AFTER A LIGHT TURNS GREEN, OR SPEEDING UP JUST IN GENERAL. I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR CONSTANTLY BECAUSE OF MY JOB AND I CAN RECALL TWO TIMES THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T DO AS I NEEDED IT TO. IT HAS FREAKED ME OUT AND I WONDER IF I'M GOING TO GET STUCK ONE DAY, IT SPUTTERS AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY RIDE HOME IS GUARANTEED. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TURBO THING, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH TURBO BUT NOW I'M REALIZING OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, IT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, QUIVERED, AND SOMETIMES STALLED WHILE COMING OUT OF A TURN AND CHANGING LANES. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO MURDOCK HYUNDAI (4646 S. STATE ST, MURRAY, UT) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED/LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. ALSO, ON OCCASION, THE ENGINE AND RPMS WOULD REV VERY HIGH WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE, WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT WHILE PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTIGE HYUNDAI (768 E. CHESTER ST, KINGSTON, NY), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

I CANNOT ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS A HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATOR. SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS, SOMETIMES IT CHUGS FIRST THEN GOES. I HAVE TROUBLE MERGING AND GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS UNRELIABLE FROM A STATIONARY TO MOVEMENT.

EVEN AFTER REPROGRAMMING OF MY 2016 TUCSON DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), I STILL WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. TRANSMISSION IS STILL HERKY-JERKEY WHEN CREEPING ALONG IN TRAFFIC. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AT HIGHER SPEED (SAY MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 50-70 MPH) THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS, AND ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY WENT INTO A "NEUTRAL' STATE TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED FROM POWER TRANSFER FROM THE ENGINE. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN SAY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

TRANS DOESN' WORK RIGHT IN FIRST GEAR DOES'T GO IN GEAR RIGHT A WAY I WILL GET REAR ENDED ONEDAY

THE CAR STALLED(DID NOT ACCELLERATE WHILE MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS . THIS REQUIRED ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO BRAKE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40MPH ON A STREET CIRCLING A MALL.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OWNING THIS CAR WHICH ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 13800 MILES ON IT I HAVE SINCE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I THEREFORE THINK THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DCT AND ENGINE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

PASSENGER AIR BAG COMES ON AT TIMES. TRANSMISSION SOME TIMES WILL NOT MOVE THE CAR.

YOU RANDOMLY GET NO RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC..LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN FEEL TRANSMISSION GOING INTO GEAR AS IT FINALLY CATCHES. WHEN IN SLOW, CRAWLING FREEWAY TRAFFIC, IT'S ALWAYS JERKING WHEN BARELY MOVING- AS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE IT ENOUGH GAS...FIRST TIME ISSUES HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A 50MPH HIGHWAY AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. THIS IS NOT A SOUND VEHICLE IN MY OPINION. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE TURNS INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST LEAVING A PARKING SPOT..YOU GET THE HERKY-JERKY UNTIL TRANSMISSION CATCHES. AND IT'S NOT ALL THE TIME, VERY RANDOM. FREEWAY DRIVING IS FINE SO FAR, WHICH IS WHAT MOST OF MY COMMUTE IS. BUT UNTIL REACHING FREEWAY SPEEDS, IT'S ALWAYS A WORRISOME DRIVE.

CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDDLE.I HAVE TO WAIT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE CAR WILL GO WHEN I HIT GAS.NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. ONLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP OR GOING SLOW.THE HYUNDAI DEALER SAID THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2019 TUCSON.I AM SURE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED.I KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

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.

I'VE NOTICED A LAG IN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL MANY TIMES, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC INSTANCES WHERE IT'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT. I WAS PULLING ACROSS TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP, AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ENGINE STALLED AND TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CATCH. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT THAT IS ON A HILL, I OFTEN GET STUCK FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT CATCHES.

HORRIBLE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION!!! AFRAID OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, LAST EVENING I WAS STUCK IN CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED OVERHEATING!!! A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STOPPED!! I WAS ON A MAJOR ROAD AND NOW CAUSED MORE OF A TRAFFIC JAM. HAD TO SIT THERE FOR 10MINUTES TILL IT COOLED ENOUGH AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF.

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

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.

EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING AN UNPTOTECTED LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WON'T PICK UP AND GO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENT BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPMS GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A DEAD STOP, AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN ALREADY MOVING, BOTH AT LOW RATES OF SPEED AND ON THE INTERSTATE.

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 40 MPH THE RPM REVVED UP TO 5 RPM AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN EVEN WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. I ALSO HAVE CONSTANT HESITATION WITH THE ENGINE WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT IN TOWN AND THEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR JERKS AND THEIR IS DELAY TO GO WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE CAR WILL AT TIMES NOT GO INTO REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO COMPLETELY PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN RESTART THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE BEFORE I CAN BACK IT OUT SUCCESSFULLY.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE IS NOT RESPONSIVE YET THE RPMS INCREASE THEN MAKING IT JUMP AND SHUDDER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL YOUR SPEED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND BUCKS. THIS OCCURS IN ANY SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED; AT STOP SIGNS, STOPLIGHTS, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE TURNING, ETC..I HAVE HAD THIS 2016 VEHICLE FOR ONE WEEK AND THE DID CHECK SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE VIN. THERE WERE NO UNRESOLVED RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I SEE THAT A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WAS ISSUED FOR MY SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTS.

PURCHASED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. CARFAX REPORTED NO OPEN RECALLS. CONCERNED WITH HESITATION WHEN PRESSING GAS WHEN IN A STOPPED POSITION TO MOVING AT STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT . RECALL 149, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT SHOWING A RECALL.

AT CERTAIN INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE IS NOT BUDGING MAKING ME WORRY THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WILL HIT ME. IF IT MOVES AT ALL, THERE IS A DRAG, THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD WHERE I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

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...

SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, I'VE EXPERIENCED CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE BUCKING WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THE CAR HESITATES TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND MAKES A WINDING NOISE WHEN IT FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN THE DRIVE-THRU LANE AT MCDONALD'S AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE CAR TO COOL DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN A PARKING MALL STRUCTURE WITH AN INCLINED ROAD, THERE SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED, I HAD TO PULL OVER IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION PUTTING FAMILY AND ME IN DANGER BY VEHICLES PASSING BY IN A VERY NARROW LANE AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF AGAIN. LAST WEEK WHILE AT A SHOPPING CENTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT JOLTED FORWARD...

VEHICLE HAS THE 1.6 LITER TURBO ENGINE W/ DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AND THEN TAKES OFF. TRIED BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE ON GAS PEDAL BUT STILL HESITATES, THEN IT REALLY SHOOTS OFF. VEHICLE HAS 3 MODES OF DRIVING- NORMAL, ECO, SPORT. TRIED ALL 3 AND PROBLEM REMAINS. ALTHOUGH I CAN'T DUPLICATE/CONFIRM RESULTS IT SEEMS TO OPERATE [SLIGHTLY] BETTER IN LOWER TEMPS (50-70F DEGREES) VS HOT TEMPS (85-95F). DISCONCERTING OR DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
