2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MCCARTHY OLATHE HYUNDAI (681 N RAWHIDE, OLATHE, KS 66061) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG. DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE LOOSE DRAIN PLUG, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT THEN NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. AFTER AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION, THE MANUFACTURER DEEMED THE FAILURE TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR OIL CHANGES. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,110.

MY HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS APPROXIMATELY 67000 MILES ON IT. I HAD IT IN PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING FOR ENGINE NOISE. I WAS TOLD NOISE WAS NORMAL.ANS NO SERVICE NEEDED. I HAD THE NEXT ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND NO ISSUES NOTED. I CHECKED MY OIL 2 DAYS AGO AND I ROUTINELY DO AND IT WAS REGISTERING NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. I HAVE NO OIL LEAKED ON DRIVEWAY OR CLIENTS DRIVES WHERE I PARK DAILY. I OUT OIL IN AND IMMEDIATELY TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED LATER TO ASK.IF I HAD PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY ASK THIS? THEN SAID THEY WOULD CALL ONCE THEY KNEW THE ISSUE. THEY CALLED LATER TO LET ME KNOW I HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN MY ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. I WAS VERY UNHAPPY. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SUBMIT FOR A "GOODWILL" REPAIR FROM HYUNDAI. THEY CAME BACK THEY WILL PAY 90% OF THE...

WHEN YOU ARE STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND IT CHANGES TO GREEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BUCKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL.THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN YOU START THE CAR UP AND PUT IT IN DRIVE GIVE IT GAS AND IT BUCKS.U HAVE TO GIVE IT MORE GAS TO MAKE IT DRIVE HOPEFULLY IT WILL NOT JUST STALL.I THINK THIS COULD BE A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATES. WHEN CAR IS COLD OR WARM. THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS DUE TO A SMALLER "FUEL EFFICIENT" ENGINE, WHICH I HAD NEVER HAD UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 9 MONTHS AGO. NOW IT IS A HUGE AND CONSISTENT ISSUE, I FEEL UNSAFE AND LIKE I CANNOT GET OUT OFF THE WAY IF NEEDED. IT CHUGS FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN ACCELERATES. SOMETIMES IT ACCELERATES ABRUPTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

WHEN YOU FIRST STEP ON GAS CAR BUCKS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL.HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIRST START CAR AND WHEN AT RED LIGHT AND IT TURNS GREEN YOU GIVE IT GAS AND IT START TO BUCK.THANK YOU MINDY

CAR STALLS AND HESITATES AT STOPS AND ACCELERATION.. LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM STOP OR SLOWING DOWN. LACK OF POWER AT CRUCIAL DRIVING PERIODS. CONDITION CREATES DANGEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES.

HUMAN LIFE THREATENING MECHANICAL FAILURE. MY CAR, VIN # [XXX] HAS A MAJOR FLAW. WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHEN STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN A THIRTY MINUTE SPAN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND OF COURSE NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. HUMAN LIFE THREATENING MECHANICAL FAILURE. MY CAR, VIN # [XXX] HAS A MAJOR FLAW.

LOSES POWER(LAG) WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. TURNING AT A STOP LIGHT THERE WAS A LAG FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING WHILE GOING UP A HILL THERE WAS A POWER LAG EXPERIENCED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 20-25 MPH DOWN A ROAD PREPARING TO MERGE, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE BUT FAILED. THE CONTACT NOTICED WHITE SMOKE AND STOPPED THE VEHICLE BY ENGAGING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE CONTACT GATHERED SOME OF HER BELONGINGS AS THE SMOKE TURNED GRAY AND GOT 20 FEET AWAY FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE FLAMES NOTICED COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. A BYSTANDER ATTEMPTED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITH A FIRE EXTINGUISHER MEANWHILE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED TO THE SCENE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED POST TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER DUE TO THE INCIDENT. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT HER CHILD WOULD RIDE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE AND THE SAFETY SEAT WAS DESTROYED DURING THE FIRE. THE CHILD WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE...

ENGINE LIGHT ON AFTER SIX TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAR ENGINE/TRANSMISSION STALLS, LAGS,HESITATES, JUMPS AND CHUGS WHEN GAS IS PRESSED FROM A STOPPED POSITION OR IN SLOW STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL THE ENGINE/TRANS DOES NOT ENGAGE AND MOVE THE CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE CAR WILL ENGAGE AND JERK, AND JUMP. THE HESITATION MAKES THE CAR FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM AFRAID EVERY TIME I GET IN THE CAR TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING SINCE THE DAY BOUGHT THE CAR

OIL PAN LEAK: 2.0L NU GDI ENGINE IS STARTING TO LEAK OIL IN THE OIL PAN. ONLY 38,900 MILES. PREVIOUS ENGINE OIL WAS MADE BY THE DEALER AND NO NOTICE ABOUT THE ISSUE MAS MADE.I WILL GO TO THE DEALER AND COMPLAIN BECAUSE OF THIS.

MULTIPLE INSTANCES (39+ AND COUNTING SINCE I BOUGHT IT NEW IN JAN '18) OF LAG IN ACCELERATION WHEN AT A LOW SPEED (OCCASIONALLY AFTER BEING STOPPED) & THEN NEEDING TO SPEED UP. MANY TIMES I WAS WAITING TO TURN LEFT ACROSS AN INTERSECTION IN FRONT OF ON-COMING TRAFFIC WHERE YOU TYPICALLY INCH FORWARD & THEN NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY TO MAKE IT ACROSS BEFORE THE NEXT CAR COMES OR WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS YELLOW & THEN RED. SOMETIMES IT WAS INCHING UP BEHIND ANOTHER CAR WAITING TO MERGE W/TRAFFIC, OR IN STOP-GO TRAFFIC & THEN NOT HAVING ACCELERATION WHEN NEEDED. IN ALL SITUATIONS ACCELERATION WAS NEEDED & DESPITE PRESSING DOWN ON THE ACCELERATION PEDAL (SOMETIMES TO THE FLOOR), NOTHING HAPPENS FOR ANYTHING FROM A HALF SECOND TO AT LEAST A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THE LAG WHEN TURNING LEFT IS VERY DANGEROUS - POTENTIALLY EVEN FATAL - DUE TO NEEDING ACCELERATION...

THEIR IS A VERY NOTICEABLE DELAY IN ACCELERATION OF HE VEHICLE AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. ALSO, ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR RESULTS IN THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASING BUT NO ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL "CLOSE CALLS" WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC OR STARTING FROM A TRAFFIC SIGNAL. THESE ISSUES OCCUR WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE FROM A STOP OR TO INCREASE SPEED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING SLOWLY. THE ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE LATEST ON 10/24/2019. AT ALMOST EVERY SCHEDULED SERVICE VISIT I TELL THE HYUNDAI SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND AM ALWAYS TOLD THAT IT IS SIMPLY A TURBO LAG. THE ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR.

DRIVING ABOUT 25 MPH TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD, THEN JUST STALLED. I BARELY GOT IT OFF THE ROAD AND FINALLY HAD BYSTANDERS HELP PUSH ME OFF. IT WAS TOWED TO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER AND AFTER REVIEW, THEY STATED SOMETHING ABOUT DEBRIS MELTED AND GOT INTO THE ENGINE, WHICH DESTROYED THE ENGINE. WAS UNDER FULL WARRANTY AND NOW IT'S BEEN 30 DAYS I'VE BEEN WITHOUT MY VEHICLE.

2017 TUCSON BASE MOTOR & BASE TRANS, NOT THE DCT. VEHICLE WILL NOT RESPOND TO THROTTLE(GAS PEDAL) INPUT. WHILE ROLLING SLOWLY FROM A DEAD STOP CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE. YOU MUST FLOORBOARD THE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE ENGINE RESPOND. OCCASIONALLY SAME WILL HAPPEN WHEN CHANGING LANES AT SPEED. DEALER NOTIFIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. RESPONSE WAS "TYPICAL OF DCT". CAR DOES NOT HAVE DCT. EXTREMELY UNSAFE--ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. NOTE TO NHTSA-- MOST OF COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE ARE FOR SAME CONDITION. WHEN WILL YOU ISSUE A RECALL??? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? MUST DOZENS OF PEOPLE DIE BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING??

WHEN I AM IN A COMPLETE STOP MY ENGINE/TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OR MISFIRE. WHEN I TAKE OFF IT KEEPS JUMPING BECAUSE IT HAS NO POWER. I ALMOST GET IN A ACCIDENT EVERYTIME I STOP AND TAKE OFF AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI 2 SEPARATE TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. IT IS SUPPOSE TO DO THAT. I DROVE 10 OTHER SUV THE SAME AS MINE AND HAD NO ISSUE AND HAD GOOD POWER. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND ALMOST GOT INTO ABOUT 7 ACCIDENTS WITH IT BECAUSE IT FEELS LIKE NO POWER OR VACUUM OR ANYTHING. IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN. IF I SLOW DOWN BUT NOT STOP THEN PUSH THE GAS TO GET SPEED AGAIN THE CAR BOUNCES LIKE IT IS MISS FIRING OR TRANSMISSION WENT BAD

I LEASED A 2017 TUCSON INTENDING TO BUY AT THE END. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, WITH ABOUT 29,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE HAD SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE I PULL OUT ONTO MY BUSY 50 MPH ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT HAD STALLED OR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, NO MATTER HOW SOFT OR HARD YOU STEP ON THE GAS. EACH OCCASION MY SON AND I HAVE COME WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING HIT BY DUMP TRUCKS, TRACTOR TRAILERS, OR OTHER ROADWAY VEHICLES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAYS IT'S THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM, BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEY'VE RESET THE PARAMETERS TO FACTORY SETTINGS, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THE AC JUST WENT ON IT OUT OF NOWHERE. I AM 16 MONTHS OUT FROM THE LEASE TERMINATION, AND FEEL SO UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT...

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:10 PM ON WEDNESDAY 8/7/19, I WAS ON AN OUTLYING ROAD TURNING ON A ROUNDABOUT, I HAD SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT AND WAS ACCELERATING TO EXIT IT, WHEN MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. THE CAR SLOWED AND THE SCREENS WENT BLACK. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AND TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED THE CAR, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME (8 MINUTE TRIP, ALONG OUTLYING ROADS) I AM UNSURE WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF.

FROM STOP TO 30 MPH INTERMITTENT HESITATION. DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FOR DON'T KNOW IF CAR WILL MOVE OR NOT. IT 'BUCKS' FROM START TO ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY. FROM LOW SPEED TO TRY TO ACCELERATE DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO ACCELERATE. DUAL CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE. HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOTHING TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, JUST 'LIVE WITH IT'. WOULD THEY LIKE THEIR TEENAGER DRIVING SUCH A CAR?? SOME TIMES CAR LURCHES FORWARD TOO INSTEAD OF HESITATION. GAS MILEAGE TERRIBLE TOO. NOT GETTING WHAT THEY SAID, 18-20 MPH, ONCE IN AWHILE 25 OR 30.

WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE TUCSON (VEHICLE HAS PUSH BUTTON START) TO REFILL THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN OFF. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON, IT RESTARTED AGAIN THE ENGINE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WITH RPM'S AROUND 500 RPM. SOME SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE RPM STABILIZED (NORMAL IDLE). I PRESSED THE PUSH BUTTON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF SUCCESSFULLY. WENT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE CAR.

VEHICLE'S ENGINE IS INTERMITTENTLY MAKING NOISES AGAIN AFTER EXHAUST MANIFOLD WAS FIXED AND ALSO INTERMITTENTLY RELEASING CARBON MONOXIDE INTO THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE CARBON MONOXIDE READING, BUT THE SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO UPLOAD.

JULY 2018 CAR BEGAN MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING ON AND BACKING UP. THE NOISE WENT AWAY WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGAN GETTING WORSE, MENTIONED IT AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. NOW MIND YOU, I DRIVE A LOT!! CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 83K. BETWEEN JULY AND DECEMBER 2018 THE CAR RECEIVED MINIMUM OF 4 OIL CHANGES ALL DONE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS IT'S NORMAL EVEN WHEN I COMPLAINED OF SMELLING GAS. AFTER RETURNING TO VA FROM MI, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER JUMPED WHERE EVER IT WANTED IF IT WANTED TO MOVE AT ALL. TOOK TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSIS WAS BAD VACUUM PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED AND SAID ALL MY DRIVING ISSUES AND GAS SMELL WOULD STOP. NOPE....TOOK BACK IN, DIAGNOSIS IS FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD. REPLACED. TWO...

WHEN THE AIR CONDITIONER IS TURNED ON THERE IS STINGY SMELL COMING OUT OF THE VENTS BUT IN A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS A LEAK IN THE SYSTEM. I MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALLS ON THAT PROBLEM. HAPPENS EVERY DAY I USE THE CAR.

WHEN ACCELERATING, THE ENGINE VIBRATES SOFTLY AT AROUND 4,000 RPM, DRIVER CAN HEAR THE DOORS AND DASH PANELS VIBRATING. IT HAS BEEN THAT WAY SINCE BRAND NEW. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO EXPLAIN THE SERVICE PERSONNEL BUT THEY SAY THAT IS NORMAL. ALSO WHEN I START THE ENGINE COLD THERE WAS A NOISE LIKE THE CVVT SPROCKET DIDN'T HAVE SUFFICIENT OIL, ALSO THEY TOLD ME THAT IS NORMAL. AFTER THAT, I CHANGED THE OIL MYSELF AND I FILLED THE ENGINE WITH A SYNTHETIC OIL AND THAT NOISE DISAPPEARED AFTER 1 DAY OF USE.

***ENGINE TAKING TOO LONG TO START - SMART KEY*** IN SOME CASES IT TAKES TOO LONG THE ENGINE TO START. ENGINE STARTER IS WORKING BUT IS LIKE THE INJECTORS ARE NOT SUPPLYING GASOLINE TO THE ENGINE. IT COULD BE OVER 7 TO 10 SECONDS STARTING THE ENGINE UNTIL THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER THAT I OPENED THE HOOD AND I FOUND SOME OIL STAINS ON THE VALVE COVER. ALSO WHERE THE PCV VENTILATION IS IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS SOME OIL VAPORS COMING OUTSIDE. ENGINE IS THE 2.0 GDI (NU ENGINE)

2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER WHICH RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT. *LD *TR

WHEN YOU ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE THE ENGINE REVS UP TO 5K TO 6K AND THE CAR APPEARS TO BEING NEUTRAL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIM I TRY TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO CHANGE LANES. THE VEHICLE DOES NO ACCELERATE.

WHILE DRIVNG ON THE 5N FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE, MY CAR SEIZED. I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WARNING LIGHT SAID NOTHING OF OIL LEAK AND GAVE ME THE TPMS WARNING (TIRE PRESSURE). DIAGNOSIS: OIL PLUG FELL OUT OF OIL PAN, ALL OIL LEAKED AND ENGINE WAS RUINED. WEEKS LATER, I RECIEVE A "NEW" ENGINE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE PLUG FELL OUT. IF IT WAS LOOSE, IT WOULD HAVE FELL OUT QUICKER THAN 600 MILES AFTER THE OIL WAS SERVICED. PERHAPS IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE OIL PLUG, WE WONT KNOW BECAUSE IT FELL OUT. RECALL IS FOR 2011-2013 MODELS....PERHAPS THE 2017 HAS SAME ISSUES!!! NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063. 120,000 HYUNDAI TUCSON SUVS FROM THE 2011 TO 2013 MODEL YEARS. THE OIL PAN MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY SEALED DURING ENGINE PRODUCTION. AS A RESULT, AN OIL LEAK COULD DEVELOP AND LEAD TO...

AS I WAS DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN SO I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. IT WOULDN'T TURN BACK ON. LIGHTS, RADIO, HEAT-ALL WORKING BUT THE ENGINE DOESN'T START. WE HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THE ENGINE SEIZED UP ON US. IT WILL BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS UNDER WARRANTY BUT IT WILL TAKE 1-2 MONTHS FOR A NEW ONE TO COME IN. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS REDESIGNING THE ENGINES TO FIX THE PROBLEM. HOW MANY TIMES DOES THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE THEY ARE RECALLED? WHAT IF YOU ARE ON THE HIGHWAY AND YOUR CAR SHUTS OFF? NO PRIOR WARNING, NOTHING. THEY TRIED TO GIVE US THE SAME BOLOGNA ABOUT ENGINE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONERY. IN SOME CASES IS DIFFICULT TO START THE ENGINE BECAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD (ALMOST ROCK SOLID), DRIVER MUST PRESS HARDER THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MAKE THE VEHICLE START (SMART KEY PROCEDURE). IF VEHICLE DOESN'T DETECT THE DRIVER'S FOOT IN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE WILL NOT START AND IGNITION SWITCH WILL GO TO ACC OR ON POSITION. EVENTS OCCURRED IN 01/24/2019 AND DEALERSHIP (CALLED 01/25/2019) WANTS TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 15,2019 BECAUSE THEY ARE FULL UNTIL THAT DATE.

IN SOME CASES WHEN THE ENGINE IS HOT TURNED OFF AND IS RESTARTED IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME (1/2 HR.), A TICKING LIFTER (NOISY LIFTER) CAN BE HEARD. THE OIL LEVEL AND VISCOSITY IS CORRECT. ENGINE IS THE 2.0L (NU GDI 2.0L DOHC). ALWAYS CHECKING THE OIL IN THE ENGINE AFTER THE FAILURES OF HYUNDAI/KIA ENGINES.

THIS CAR WORKED FINE UNTIL IT DIED ON THE FREEWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR ONE EVENING. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT AND MAD IT 3 MORE MILES TO HOME. NEXT DAY IT WOULD NOT START AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER AND DEALER SAYS THE ENGINE IS BAD AND OIL IS SLUDGY DUE TO LACK OF MAINTENANCE AND IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS 30,000 MILES AND HAS HAD 4 OIL CHANGES AND WAS DUE FOR NEXT OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD DOWNSHIFT INTO LOW GEAR ON ITS OWN. ALSO, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SPORT DURST AUTOMOTIVE (4511 DURHAM-CHAPEL HILL BLVD, DURHAM, NC 27707, (877) 262-3223) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 13622118. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 805. *DT*JB *BF

WHILE DRIVING I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR JERKS FORWARD AND DOESN'T CATCH. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD, THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THOUGH I'VE LET THEM KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) / 1.6T ENGINE START FROM STOP ACCELERATION STUTTERING, STALLING OCCURS FROM INITIAL TAKE OFFS, WHILE IDLING IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC CREATES POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DRIVE/PASSENGER SITUATION IN TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND LANE MERGING/PASSING. ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND TWO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS. BOTH PARTIES INDICATE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE DCT TRANSMISSION AND PROVIDED BOTH VIDEO AND WRITTEN TRAINING PACKAGES. BOTH TRAINING MECHANISMS FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. SUPPOSED SOFTWARE UPDATES BY THE LEASING DEALERSHIP FAILED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE ALSO. ISSUE IS STILL ACTIVE AND LATEST VISIT TO DEALERSHIP FAILED TO FIND ANY ISSUES WITH NO REPAIRS OR SOFTWARE UPDATES TAKING PLACE. SENIOR TECHNICIAN INDICATED HYUNDAI LEADERSHIP AT CORPORATE ARE ACUTELY AWARE OF ISSUE BUT CHOOSING TO NOT ACT ACCORDINGLY/APPROPRIATELY.

MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO STALL/HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. I HAVE THE 1.6 TURBO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT CAN DELAY ACCELERATION FROM WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THIS OCCURS QUITE OFTEN WHEN PROCEEDING WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN--DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN & IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER W/COMPLAINT BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CORRECTIONS. TOLD ME TO "LIVE WITH IT." UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE HELP.

MY MOTHER IN LAW BOUGHT A 2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON AND IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM THAT REQUIRED A 41,000 UNIT RECALL FOR THE 2016 TUSCON MODEL. SHE HAS BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE AND SHOWING CAR FORUMS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND WITHOUT A SOFTWARE FIX. I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE NHTSA HAVE A LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE IF POSSIBLE PLEASE AND SEE ABOUT ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN THE NEW MODEL YEAR AS IT HAS CLEARLY NOT BEEN FIXED. I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE ISSUE.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON SINCE 10/20/17. IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TWICE MY VEHICLE HAD PERFORMANCE ISSUES WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATION. IT IS LIFE ENDANGERING. WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LOSES SPEED. THE RPM GAUGE STARTS GOING WACKY, OFF THE CHARTS. IT WILL REV TO 5 RPM BACK DOWN TO 3 RPM AND BACK & FORTH. WHEN THE FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDDLE TRYING TO INCREASE TO HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE WILL GO TO 45 MPH. WHEN ONE A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, IT BECOMES LIFE THREATENING. WHEN I FINALLY REACHED A SPEED OF 70, IT WOULD GO FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN DECREASE TO 50 MPH. VERY SCARY. TWICE IT WAS IN SERVICE FOR THE SAME PERFORMANCE ISSUE . THE 2ND TIME THEY REPLACED...

ENGINE BOGS DOWN AND LOOSES POWER WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. RANDOM. AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS IT RECOVERS AND IS FINE FOR A RANDOM AMOUNT OF TIME. IT IS DANGEROUS AS SOME OF THE TIMES I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND IT BOGGED DOWN. SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS HYUNDAI KNOWS OF THE ISSUE. MANY COMPLAINTS BUT NO FIX.

VEHICLE FREQUENTLY, INTERMITTENTLY, STALLS DURING TAKE OFF FROM A STOP. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT VEHICLE WILL SIMPLY ROLL AS IF IT IS FREELY ROLLING IN NEUTRAL BUT IS NOT RECEIVING ANY POWER OR ACCELERATION FROM THE ENGINE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN ENGAUGES AND VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THIS CREATES AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD WHEN YOU HAVE THE VEHICLE IN AN INTERSECTION AND ACCELERATE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN A GAP IN TRAFFIC AND END STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION OR IN FRONT OF AN ONCOMING VEHICLE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONLY ROLLING AND NOT ACCELERATING. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HYUNDAI USA CORPORATE WHO HAS CHOSEN NOT OFFER ANY REMEDY AND HAS IT STATED TO ME THIS IS A "CHARACTERISTIC OF MY VEHICLE.". HYUNDAI USA HAS CONTINUALLY REFERRED ME BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, WHO DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE....

THE STUPID CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND QUITS IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND INTERSECTION. IT IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE AS IT ENDANGERS EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. A 2 TO 3 SECOND PAUSE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IT DOES NOTHING AND THE IDIOTS AT EDWARDS AUTO/ HYUNDAI DON'T CARE ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL THEY FIRE THE MORON PROGRAMMERS AND FIX THE COMPUTER, SOFTWARE, BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR SENSORS. FACT IS THE CAR'S COMPUTER ISN'T FAST ENOUGH TO PROCESS THE SENSORS. IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND IF IGET HURT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY ME FOR FAILING TO TAKE ALL TUSCONS OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN JAIL FOR PUBLIC ENDANGERMENT.

I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION FROM A STOP WHICH IS WORSENING OVER TIME. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2017. I ROUTINELY EXPERIENCE A SEVERE LAG IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, CAUSING JERKY MOVEMENTS AND SOMETIMES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY HYUNDAI TECHNICIANS IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE REPORTED THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES THEY CAN IDENTIFY AND THE CAR IS OPERATING AS IT WAS BUILT TO. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HYUNDAI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. I HAVE INITIATED A TICKET WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS.

THE 2017 TUCSON SPORT HAS THE 1.6 TURBO WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ONE NEVER KNOWS IF THE CAR WILL RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATE OR JUST STUMBLE ALONG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THERE IS A RECALL OR SIMILAR FOR THE 2016 WITH NHTSA. THE DEALERSHIP (KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI, SAN DIEGO) TELLS US THAT "THEY ALL DO THAT" WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND REPAIR. ANY SUBSEQUENT REQUESTS FOR REPAIR WERE MET WITH "IT WILL COST YOU 150 DOLLARS TO CHECK IT OUT IF IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS BEFORE WITH NO SOLUTION". THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IT ALSO TENDS TO GO INTO SOME SORT OF LEAF BLOWER MODE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, WHERE THE REVS SOAR BUT IT DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED. THIS IS NOT A...

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...

WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, IN MOTION ON A STREET AND NEEDING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN, OFTEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL SEEM TO STALL OR FALTER WHEN BEING DEPRESSED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW, THEN THE PEDAL CONTINUES DOWNWARD AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. HYUNDAI SERVICE ADVISOR ON JULY 6, 2018 POLITELY SAID "ALL TUCSON TURBO MODELS DO THIS, NO PROBLEM". TO ME THIS IS SCARY. DOES NHTSA THINK LIKEWISE AND COULD THERE BE A SAFETY ISSUE?

MY VEHICLE HAS A ACCELERATION, HESITATION PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS IT DOESN'T MOVE THEN AFTER A FEW SECOND SHOOTS FORWARD. JUST MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR TODAY ON ROUTE 128. THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED UP. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE.

THE CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND ACTS AS IT'S GOING TO STALL. THERE IS NO POWER IN THE GAS PEDAL WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT CAN TAKE A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT FINALLY SHIFTS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE MAY 2017 WHEN I PURCHASED IT AND I HAVE REPORTED OT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR FIND A CODE INDICATING THAT THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED.

MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ACCELERATION ISSUES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NTSB. THE VEHICLE WILL EXPERIENCE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS AND/OR MAKING TURNS THAT REQUIRE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE ALSO BEEN VERY CLOSE TO BEING REAR-ENDED AND/OR T-BONED DUE TO THESE ACCELERATION ISSUES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT IS HAZARDOUS TO NOT ONLY THE OWNER'S OF THESE VEHICLES, BUT ALSO TO OTHER INNOCENT DRIVERS IN THEIR PATH. APPARENTLY HYUNDAI AND KIA VEHICLES ARE KNOWN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN MENTIONED IN RECENT ONLINE FORUMS. I REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI MOMENTS AGO TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH THEM AND I AM HOPING THEY WILL RESPOND TO ME WITH A FIX AND/OR SOLUTION TO THIS HAZARDOUS...
