severe oil consumption. the vehicle eats the oil at an alarming rate. having to fill the oil tank very often and the engine light has been on. it is affecting acceleration at 30mph where the engine warning light will flash. It also completely dies while driving. very unsafe and needs to be resolved.
Issue was first noticed in October 2025 - there are roughly 70k miles on the vehicle. It is a 2017 vehicle, and has regular service (oil, inspection). There was a class action lawsuit for this issue (wylie v hyundai), which was settled prior to the purchase of the vehicle. Vehicle stutters when shifting into and out of first gear. A local mechanic and hyundai both confirmed that it was a transmission defect. The Hyundai dealership initially thought it was an actuator issue, but has since said that it is a faulty gear assembly. it has a DCT (dual clutch transmission). Vehicle suddenly stops and is erratic when driving. Coming out of a stop risks the vehicle shuddering; going through an intersection or turning cross traffic is extremely dangerous as the vehicle could stop momentarily and cause a collision. Vehicle is unable to maintain flow of traffic. The problem appears to...
- Kept regular 5K-6K oil changes since 2022 when I purchased the vehicle -Took the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership, multiple times, to ask about the engine stalling at a stop or slow turn, and/or jerking. -July '25 new oil change and flushed engine -October'25- no engine or oil lights. Engine seized and needs to be replaced. - VIN didn't populate recall but the symptoms are the same
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond while stopped at a red light. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the diagnostic result was unknown. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 95,000.
Sole owner of 2017 Hyundai Tucson with approx 55,700k miles. Check engine light on and car not accelerating properly. Had same acceleration problem a year ago without engine light, Hyundai dealership stated I needed software update on anti judder gds, update was completed by Hyundai and the issue has reoccurred.
My car has been burning oil for over a year. there is no leak. I have been putting three quarts in every 4 to 6 weeks. I have now replaced two coil packs and the spark plugs. my engine light is on because it said 3 and 4 was misfiring so i recently replaced those coil packs and now it said spark plug and i replaced it again as well. so the engine light coming on and what it says the problem is is wrong. now when i push the gas it is knocking or missing. not sure how to describe it. no one has looked at it other than a friend that is a mechanic and he says its probably the engine because this kind of car has these problems.
All of the lights on the dashboard and check engines light were illuminated. The speedometer would not work and the stick shift would stick in park causing me to have to release the shift lock manually to drive. The failure mileage was 59,450.
The engine appears to have a malfunction, particularly related to acceleration and oil consumption. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The vehicle experiences sudden jerking during acceleration, which can lead to loss of control and increase the risk of a collision. Additionally, stalling can occur unexpectedly, posing a significant hazard, especially in traffic. Yes, the issue has been confirmed by a local dealership, where they noted the jerking during acceleration and the high oil consumption. Yes, the vehicle has been inspected by the dealership, but it has not been inspected by the manufacturer or insurance representatives. There were no warning lamps or messages prior to the incidents. The symptoms first appeared approximately 8 months ago and is ongoing.
My car has been having engine problems causing it to stall while driving. It won’t go past 20miles per hour even if I press on the gas FULLY. This has been happening on and off for a couple of months now. It also burns thru my oil change in less than a week. I took my Hyundai into the dealer multiple times because of the way it drove since 2019 and they always sent me away saying that it was normal. But this car has been a constant stress in my life. Driving it has felt dangerous. Something is definitely WRONG with it and I’m not sure why this recall on the engine now powering up hasn’t hit yet. Death trap of a car.
Engine check light came on on 1/4/24 took it to dealership they ran a quick check and they said it had multiple misfires. The car has a lot of carbon buildup and they recommend a 24 hour cleaning which will cost me over $700.00. The car stalls and starts shaking as I speed up. I don't feel that a care with less than 70,000 miles should have this problem. Mine also has now been using up the oil very quickly.
The car does not accelerate from a stopped position and when driving it does not shift or allow acceleration. This is especially an issue on hills or when trying to increase speed on the highway.
The vacuum pump on my 2017 hyundai has a faulty cap resulting in an electrical error to the CAN system. This causes dash lights abs 4wd parking break stability control tpms sensor check engine light to eliminate and the speedometer to not work. All of the systems are not opperating due to the system not being able to communicate. It is illegal and a safety issue to not be able to use the speedometer.
Engine stalled in the middle of the highway. Could not get speed over 30mph to get out of the way of oncoming traffic even with the gas peddle pushed to the floor. Engine light flashing. Finally was able to get over to the side of the road with care bucking and jerking the whole way and stuttered to a stop.
I am not a mechanic but when I drive my vehicle, I feel like it doesn't have enough amps to move it along like it's missing something. I have pressed on the accelerator and heard a "winding noise" like the little engine that could but wants to. This is a horrible car!!! I have only had this vehicle for a month and it's a nightmare to drive. It sometimes does not accelerate, and the take-off is unbearable gives me the impression I will be rear ended one day. It even jerks and sputters, even the "rpm" feature shows high acceleration at inopportune times. I had a diagnostic performed and was told the plugs and ignition coils needed to be changed so I did that to the tune of $400 for the parts, and now not even a week later I am being told I need to change them again. How...
The vehicle was serviced not long after I got it as a certified pre-owned vehicle for reprogramming of the transmission, which I told it was a just a reprogramming to make it more reactive. The vehicle would fail to accelerate, or have delayed acceleration. I was not aware at the time that these vehicles were known to have faulty transmissions and if I known this at purchase I would have spent my money on a more reliable vehicle. The vehicles transmission is having issues again, not reversing, not accelerating, etc. The Hyundai dealership I got it from told me that they won't even get me into the dealership for a diagnostic until January 6th,,, which is a huge safety issue. Furthermore, apparently Hyundai is well away of the fact that they have allowed Hyundai owners to drive vehicles with faulty transmission and will not help with extended the warranty on...
The check engine light started flashing and the vehicle would not go over 25 miles per hour. Thankfully I was pulling into a parking lot when the reduction in speed occurred. If this had happened on the interstate (which I commute on regularly) it could have been extremely dangerous. Hyundai dealership never returned my calls about service, I had the vehicle towed to another service provider (Jensen Tire & Auto) who performed a diagnostic which showed codes P0300/0302/1326/0011. They also said the engine was 2 quarts low on oil and there was no sign of an oil leak. The vehicle mileage was at 74344. I had oil changed at 71579 miles with full synthetic, and at 66230 miles prior to that. There is no sign of oil leak where I park the car. I regularly change my oil and service my car according to the manufacturer recommendation (just not at...
Car has been hesitating to start this last week, Friday 6/2/23 warning lights came on & air conditioning stopped working. My local Hyundai shop is booked 2 weeks out so I already have an appt for 6/13/23. But on 6/2 I barely made it to a shop close to my home for a diagnostic check. Code P1111 was stored, cleared & retested. It's for fuel pump, circuit was tested & no faults were found & test driven with no return of code. Picked up car on Monday 6/5 with no issues. Tuesday car hesitated to start, 3rd time it started with no issue & no warning light/s. Today 6/7 around noon while I was making a turn the car completely shut off without warning. I've also noted that the oil level is always low, I have to check & put in oil at least every 2 weeks but there doesn't...
I had recently just had gotten and oil change less than 2 months ago, I had to take my car back to the dealership because it was taking a while for the car to pick up speed. Once I took it into the dealership they told me my engine needs to be replaced. I know someone else that I know that has a hyundai as well and their engine completely gave out as well. What's going on with the engines. My car doesn't even have 100,000 miles on it yet, there's no way my engine should've gave out.
I took the vehicle in for a recall for unrelated issues to this problem at 90,000 miles (July 6 2022). The technician noted that the vehicle was leaking oil and it needed an oil pan reseal. I brought the vehicle back for this service on March 6 2023. Between the initial recall service and this service, I noticed that the vehicle was consuming a significant amount of oil, beyond regular consumption. On several occasions, after about 1000 miles after the oil was changed, I was adding 2-3 quarts of oil to the vehicle. Moreover, when the oil was changed, the technician who changed the oil, noted that the oil was very dirty despite only going 3000-4000 miles between oil changes. I mentioned this to the Lehigh Valley Hyundai Service Desk and that it was highly unlikely that an oil pan reseal would resolve this. They ordered an oil consumption test...
It's like the transmission has hesitation before it decides to go. I step on the gas and it doesn't go right away, it takes a couple seconds and then the rpms go up really high. There has been no accident but this has happened many times.
All the lights in the dashboard are on always, also the check engine light as well, and we found a recall issued for these cars campaign 18-01-026, tucson vacuum pump sealant application/ cap replacement (service campaign T3C) date September 2018
Vehicle is showing transmission issues that match recall issued for same vehicle and model, problems accelerating and misfiring which appears to be dangerous too drive.
the car was unresponsiveness when pushing the gas pedal, delay when accelerating, shaking, and the gears do not seem to change. this causes problems when trying to merge into traffic, make turns and anytime when acceleration is needed. We took it to the dealership said we needed a Dual Clutch kit however the vin does not have a recall therefore want to charge $2264.00. to fix the problem. it is obviously a manufacture defect. the car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. this problem has been going on for 6 months.
I was driving to work after dropping my son off and I took a right turn onto a street and my car slowed down and the check engine light came on, flashing. I continued to drive to work as I was one minute away and needed to get off the street asap. (where I turned had no room for pulling over). I parked my car. I had a prenatal appointment to go to, so I started my car. No check engine light when started until I got on the on ramp to the mass pike, my car went from 50 to 35 in a matter of minutes. I went into the breakdown lane until the next exit which was only a mile or so. I pulled into a gas station and called my husband to come get me as I still had an appointment to go to. After my appointment...
The acceleration completely stopped, while driving in the third lane, northbound on the 15 freeway in the cajon pass. The dealership informed me the transmission is the cause. The car is still with the service department now. No warning lights. No check engine lights, nothing. The power in the car remained on the car acted as if it was in neutral.
I HAVE FIXED EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD AND MY VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELRATE OVER 60. IF ACCLERATE TO 61MPH IT WOULD DROP DOWN TO 40MPH
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle hesitated and failed to move. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the oil and battery lights illuminated continuously. Additionally, the vehicle decelerated and stalled. The vehicle was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact was informed that there was no oil in the engine. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,164.
The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with an unknown warning light illuminated. The vehicle then abruptly accelerated forward with the continuous depression of the accelerator pedal. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine) which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 33,000
Hello. I recently took my car to the authorized mechanic and had them check on an issue I am experiencing. For some reason, my car frequently hesitates when I go from a complete stop/slow roll to accelerate. For example, if I am stopped waiting to turn, often when I push the gas to accelerate, the car will begin to accelerate and then basically stop. When this has happened, I've pushed my foot down to the floor on the pedal before to make it go and it refused to go for about 20 or so seconds. Additionally, if I am in slow moving traffic and traffic begins to speed up, my car will hesitate to go forward when I try to accelerate. This is a huge safety concern. The mechanic was not able to replicate this issue, but it happens every day or every other day. It makes me scared to...
When accelerating from a stop, the vehicle "chugs" or hesitated substantially before actually accelerating. There is usually a noticeable jerk at that point as well. Concern is this usually happens when turning and has caused safety issues related being stuck in an intersection until the transmission releases and allows the vehicle to accelerate. Several trips to the dealership have provided no repair/relief to the issue. We are always informed its a known issue with the double-clutch engine and just something we need to get used to. Most recently, the transmission is "slipping" when accelerated. This has happened at minimum 5 times in the past month.
When accelerating from a full stop or yield, vehicle takes up to 3 seconds to fully respond to pedal. Vehicle will move about 5ft forward during this 3 second lag time. After the lag time, the vehicle jerks into motion. Very dangerous to turn onto a busy road with 35mph speed limit.
2017 HYUNDAI TUSCAN WILL LOSE ACCELERATION WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR ANY STREET. SLOW ACCELERATION FROM COMPLETE STOP. AFTER PULLING OVER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING IT WILL ACCELERATE PROPERLY SOMETIMES FOR MINUTES, SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ABOUT 7-8 MONTHS AGO.
WHEN COASTING, THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN STOPPED AND PRESSING THE GAS, IT TAKES SEVER SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO TAKE OFF. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AT RISK AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY- YOU CAN EITHER TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY OR YOU'RE DELAYED. THE ROUGH IDLING SOUNDS AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL. IN TRAFFIC, THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD.
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...
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THIS VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE RPMS RISE BUT IT TAKES ROUGHLY 2-3 SECONDS TO ENGAGE. I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKE IT TO THE DEALER MORE THAN ONCE WITH NO HELP. THE 2016 MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED AND I BELIEVE THE 2017 MODEL SHOULD BE AS WELL.
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
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 ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES OR MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A DELAY. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS (ORIGINAL OWNER). THESE ISSUES STARTED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY HYUNDAI TUCSON, HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE HORRIBLE. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP, YOU HAVE TO FEATHER THE GAS PEDAL TO TAKE OFF, OTHERWISE THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP DURING TAKE OFF. DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) MAKES THE DRIVE FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A STICK SHIFT, MEANING THE TRANSMISSION FEELS JERKY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND FOR ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TIMES, THAT OUR 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS HAD TROUBLE ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR, WHETHER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED (5-10MPH). MOST OFTEN TIMES, WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY DELAYED, ALMOST NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, AND THEN IT IS VERY JERKY GETTING INTO GEAR AT THAT POINT. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THIS WHEN MY WIFE AND I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED (THE VEHICLE BEHIND US CAME SCREECHING TO A HALT) AS THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE WHEN I PULLED ONTO A 50MPH ROAD AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. THE 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS ACCELERATION ISSUE IS FIXED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON...
HESITATION AND STALLING FROM THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND SURROUNDING AREAS ON THE STREETS AND HIGHWAY AND ALSO PARKING LOTS. I HAVE BEEN BACK TO MY DEALER TWICE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL MOSTLY UNSAFE WHEN THIS HESITATION HAPPENS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. HYUNDAI ON MY SECOND VISIT ONLY USED THE COMPUTER TO TURN OFF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BUT THE PROBLEM WAS VERY MUCH THE SAME. I NEED HELP PLEASE
WE BOUGHT OUR HYUNDAI TUCSON IN SEPTEMBER 2018 AND WITHIN WEEKS, WE STARTED NOTICING PROBLEMS WITH ERRATIC ACCELERATION AND INCONSISTENT RESPONSE OF GAS PEDAL. WE HAVE GOTTEN THE CAR EVALUATED NUMEROUS TIMES, BUT NOTHING WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE CAUSING THIS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEPT SAYING THAT THERE ARE SOME KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION THAT HYUNDAI HASN'T COMMUNICATED A SOLUTION TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, THEREFORE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. OFTEN TIMES THE RPM LEVEL SKYROCKETS LEAVING THE CAR WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. OUR 7-SPEED DCT IS HAVING SHIFTING PROBLEMS, HESITATION WITH ACCELERATION, AND NEAR LOSS OF POWER. THE TRANSMISSION PARTICULARLY MISBEHAVES DURING WARMER TEMPERATURES AND CERTAIN DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING, WHICH IS A SAFETY HAZARD. AND IS A DANGER TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CLAIMS THAT HYUNDAI HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION AND CONTROL MODULE PROBLEMS BUT IS NOT ABLE TO...
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. EVERY TIME THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE IMMEDIATELY. THE VEHICLE TOOK 4 TO 8 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SPORADICALLY FOR APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS, BUT WAS GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MYRTLE BEACH HYUNDAI (1887 US-501, MYRTLE BEACH, SC 29577), BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
WHEN I MAKE A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, JOINING TRAFFIC, I PRESS ACCELERATION AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING... I MAY EVEN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, ENGINE ROARS AT 5-6K AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL OR MOVES EXTREMELY SLOWLY... I WATCH THE CARDS APPROACHING FROM THE BACK AND START TO PRAY... I BARELY ESCAPED FEW ACCIDENT SITUATIONS BECAUSE THE APPROACHING DRIVERS WERE CAUTIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG GOING ON WITH MY CAR, NOT MOVING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT, ACCORDING TO OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS, THE ISSUE SEEMS LIKELY TO BE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), LATER RENAMED TO "AUTOMATED MANUAL", WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE IN MY TUCSON.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES. ON ONE OCCASION, IN A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE TWICE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INSURANCE BODY SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEVEN SPEED DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY PERTAINING TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT GAIN SPEED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LIGHT. DOWNEY HYUNDAI (7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, (562) 314-4331) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS STILL WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND HAD NOT ISSUED ANY TRANSMISSION RECALLS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY.*JB
SOMETHING IS MAJORLY WRONG WITH HOW THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, OR DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY, CAUSING A TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND AN OVER REVVING OF THE ENGINE, WHICH RESULTS IN A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE TRIED TO TURN ONTO A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED OR T-BONED BECAUSE OF MY VEHICLE STALLING FOR NO REASON, LEAVING ME FLOUNDERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND RESUME ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FOR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, PROVIDED IT HASN'T ALREADY OCCURRED. IN FACT, I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHILE MERGING ONTO A...
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTED VARIOUS TIMES AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI, 4797 CONVOY ST, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, (858) 278-7100) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT CONSUMER STATED SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN 2015 RECALL HAPPENED IN 2016. MANUFACTURER IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *JB
