2016 Hyundai Tucson

TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED TO START, OR A ROLLING LOW SPEED TO ACCELERATING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRIFT INTO INTERSECTION OR LANE WITHOUT POWER. ATTEMPTS TO RE-SHIFT INTO GEAR WERE UNSUCCESSFUL. CAR SLAMMED INTO GEAR AT HIGH RPM WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAR AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A JERKING INTO GEAR SENSATION AND ACCELERATING VERY QUICKLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND GETTING MORE FREQUENT. TOOK IT TO LOCAL DEALER FOR SERVICE. DEALER CHECKED FOR ANY MECHANICAL FAILURES AND FOUND NONE. DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CAR AND THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NOT PROPERLY ENGAGING. DEALER RESET THE LEARNING MODE OF THE TRANSMISSION IN ATTEMPT TO TEMPORARILY DELAY THE SYMPTOMS. THE SAME SYMPTOMS RE-APPEARED WITH A WEEK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SCENARIO AND I FEEL UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WHEN IN CERTAIN DRIVING SITUATIONS LIKE MAKING A LEFT TURN IN A WINDOW OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND NOT HAVING THE POWER TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION OR LANE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THANKFULLY NO-ONE HAS GOTTEN HURT,,,,YET! THIS CAR IS ONLY A MONTH OLD AND HAS 1000 MILES ON IT. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WAS ON 7/18/2016 AND IS GETTING MORE FREQUENT WITH TIME.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN DECEMBER AND THIS PROBLEM STARTED AWHILE AGO. WHEN AT A STOP ITS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND RPM'S REV BUT NO ACCELERATION. IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE IN TRAFFIC AND YOUR CAR HAS NO POWER. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN SHIFT BACK TO DRIVE HOPING THE CAR WILL ACCELERATE. FINALLY WHEN IT DOES IT JERKS SUDDENLY AND THEN YOU HAVE TO BRAKE IN ORDER NOT TO HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. DRIVING THIS CAR NOW MAKES ME VERY STRESSED AND I HOPE I WILL NOT GET REAR-ENDED OR WORSE.

ON THE EVENING OF JUNE 16, 2016, I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF TWO MAJOR ROADS AND WAS THE FIRST CAR IN LINE AT THE LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO PROCEED THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE. FOR A MOMENT I THOUGH MAYBE SOME HOW I HAD HIT THE SHIFTER AND PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL BUT I WAS STILL IN DRIVE WITH THE RPMS UP TO OVER 3500. TOOK A MINUTE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE CAR FINALLY BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD AND ACCELERATE BUT THE RPMS WERE STILL HIGH AND THE CAR WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT WANTING TO GO. THE CAR STARTED SMELLING HOT AND FINALLY PROCEEDED. SCARED ME TO DEATH. I CALLED THE DEALER RIGHT AS IT HAPPENED BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING I WAS AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BEFORE THEY EVEN OPENED. THEY KEPT MY CAR FOR THE DAY AND GAVE ME A LOANER. I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THEY "RESET THE SHIFT POINTS". I SAID I DIDN'T FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE EVEN AFTER THAT. THEY BASICALLY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 1800 MILES ON IT. AT 3800 MILES, I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE AND MENTIONED THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE ADVISOR AND SAID IT WAS STILL SHIFTING ROUGH AND JUST NOT SMOOTH. HE TOLD ME HYUNDAI IS WORKING ON A FIX BUT UNTIL THEN, I STILL THINK THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT SWITCHED THE GEAR SHIFTER STICK INTO PARK, NEUTRAL, AND BACK INTO THE DRIVE POSITION BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,550.

BROUGHT BRAND NEW AUGUST 2015. MANY TIMES THE CAR LURCHES INTO GEAR. SEVERAL DCT TRANSMISSION HESITATES NOTICEABLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP. CAR HAS 16,000 MILES (BUT STARTED AROUND 1000 MILES), . DCT CLUTCHES PERIODICALLY WHEN AT A DEAD STOP WILL NOT ENGAGE, BUT ONCE RPM'S DROP IT WILL START TO MOVE, BUT PRIOR IT'S LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL.YOU HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE RPM'S COME DOWN AND PUSH ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND THEN IT WILL ENGAGE. OF COURSE THE DEALER CAN NOT DUPLICATE, SO THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG.. MANY TIMES I WAS ALMOST HIT WHEN TURNING DUE TO THE CAR NOT MOVING.. VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR DIE!!! WILL HYUNDAI DO SOMETHING THEN, BECAUSE ITS SEEMS THAT AFTER 167 COMPLAINTS THEY STILL DON'T CARE TO DO A THING ABOUT IT!! SHAME ON YOU! SINCE ABOUT 12,000 MILES THE CAR HAS BEEN MAKING A HISSING TYPE NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING, BROUGHT TO DEALER, THEY SAID ITS NORMAL & THAT ITS THE FUEL PUMP FINALLY BEING BROKE INTO THE ENGINE AND THAT IS VERY NORMAL..THEY ALSO LIED ON MY WORK ORDER THAT THEY COMPARED THAT NOISE TO A LIKE VEHICLE WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF MILES AND IT DID THE SAME THING, HOWEVER THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE THAT THEY WOULD FIND ME THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME MILES TO SHOW ME ITS NORMAL. WELL THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN, SO THEY LIED ON THE WORK ORDER TO COVER THEIR BUTTS AND TO WORK AGAINST ME WHEN I CONTACT LEMON LAW ATTORNEYS. WHO THE HECK ARE THEY KIDDING?!! BROUGHT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC & HE SAID THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM AT ALL, BUT CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS..SO IM SPENDING MONEY TO HAVE THEM TRY & DIAGNOSIS IT EVEN THO I HAVE A WARRANTY. TIRES (I THINK) CAUSING THE CAR TO SHIMMY SHAKE ALL THE TIME AT HIGH SPEEDS. THEY HAVE BEEN ROTATED & BALANCED 5 TIMES & THE PASSENGER SEAT SHAKES LIKE CRAZY, BUT AGAIN THAT IS ALL NORMAL THEY SAY. SHAME ON HYUNDAI FOR DOING NOTHING ABOUT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DCT TRANSMISSION HESITATES NOTICEABLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP. CAR HAS 13,000 MILES, PURCHASED NEW MY ME. I AM RETIRED AND ONLY DRIVER. DCT CLUTCHES DISENGAGE PERIODICALLY WHEN AT A DEAD STOP WILL NOT ENGAGE AGAIN ONCE BRAKE IS RELEASED AND START ACCELERATING, LIKE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL. YOU HAVE TO SET AND WAIT AND PUSH ACCELERATOR UP TO 3,000 RPM THEN LET OFF SOMETIME-CLUTCHES ENGAGE AND IT JUMPS FORWARD AND YOU HAVE TO HIT BRAKE QUICKLY OR WILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY BUT NOT ROUTINELY ENOUGH FOR DEALER TO REPRODUCE. IT HAS ALMOST JUMPED INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH ME SEVERAL TIMES. [XXX] SCARY TO DRIVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BROUGHT BRAND NEW JAN. 1, 2016. MANY TIMES THE CAR LURCHES INTO GEAR. SEVERAL TIMES THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. ONCE, CAR WOULDN'T START. DEALER HAS HAD CAR TWICE (ONCE FOR A WEEK). NO ENGINE CODE. BLAMED AFTER MARKET REMOTE START, AND REMOVED IT. OBVIOUSLY, NOT THE ISSUE, AS IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN TWICE IN THE PAST 5 DAYS. THIS IS VERY UNPREDICTABLE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE TOTALLY LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR.
