2016 Hyundai Tucson

PROBLEMS WITH VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASE. BROUGHT CAT BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR 4 TIMES, BUT PROBLEMS STILL REMAIN. PRIOR TO LAST SOFTWARE UPGRADE, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING, WOULD JERK WITHOUT WARNING, SLOW GOING UP HILL, WOULD ROLL BACK, AND WOULD STOP AND THEN PROPEL FORWARD. ONCE LAST RECALL (3) DONE, THE CAR STILL IN NOT DRIVING APPROPRIATELY. CAR RUNS ROUGH, STILL JERKS, STILL SLOW TO GO UP HILL AND STILL INTERMITTENTLY STOPS. TRANSMISSION WARNING (OVER HEATED) CAME ON, YET THE COMPUTER DID NOT MAKE NOTE OF IT WHEN READ FOR PROBLEMS AS IF IT NEVER HAPPENED. CAR IS UNSAFE, IS NOT DRIVING AS EXPECTED NOR AS IT SHOULD. GAS MILEAGE IS ALSO VERY LOW, CONSIDERABLY LOWER THAN WHAT WAS PROMISED UPON PURCHASE.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN NORMAL AROUND TOWN TRAFFIC, WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE AN ALARM BEGAN SOUNDING, AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAYED "TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE IS HIGH! STOP". WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE DEALER INVESTIGATE, BUT THEY FIND NOTHING, CAN'T DUPLICATE IT, AND NO INDICATION THAT IT EVEN DISPLAYED THE WARNING. THEY SAID IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THE DCT TRANSMISSION ON THE HYUNDAI TUCSON. I'VE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND TRIED TO ASK IF THE DEALER MAY BE CORRECT, BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY REFER ME BACK TO THE DEALER. IT CAN BE DIFFICULT AND UNSAFE TO FIND A PLACE TO "STOP SAFELY" AT THE DROP OF A HAT AS IT DEMANDS.

I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI TUSCON LIMITED 2016 60 MPH IN AN OPEN AREA WHEN THE PANORAMIC SUNROOF EXPLODED SPONTANEOUSLY. IT SOUNDED AS IF A GUN HAD GONE OFF NEXT TO MY HEAD. I CLOSED MY EYES BECAUSE I SENSE SOMETHING FLYING. WHEN I OPENED MY EYES I WAS BEING SHOWERED BY GLASS AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE ABOVE MY HEAD. I HIT MY HAZARDS AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE ROADSIDE. I WAS DISTRAUGHT AND TRAUMATIZED. GLASS SHARDS UP TO ONE INCH IN SIZE WERE ALL OVER MY CAR. I WAS SO FORTUNATE NO ONE HAD BEEN IN MY BACK SEAT. I WAS PERSONALLY COVERED IN GLASS ALL DOWN MY BACK SINCE I LEANED FORWARD WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE DEALER AT FIRST SAID IT WAS AN INSURANCE ISSUE AND THEN ONLY FIXED IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OUR DRIVING SCHOOL HAD PURCHASED 25 VEHICLES FROM THAT DEALER. HYUNDAI CORPORATE HAS BEEN HORRIBLE ABOUT THIS OCCURRENCE. SALE OF THESE ROOFS MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.

WHEN COMING OFF A DEAD STOP IT FAILS TO GO. RPM'S REV BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT MOVE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WHEN WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED AND T-BONED. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE (JUNE 2016) THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THAT WAS A MONTH AGO AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS WORSE. I CONTACTED SERVICE AT MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT A FIX CAME OUT THAT MORNING. THAT IS A LIE SINCE I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON LINE. CONSUMER REPORTS SAID THE FIRST FIX WAS ISSUED IN DEC 2015 (WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR) AND THIS RECENT FIX WAS ISSUED A WEEK AGO.I NOW HAVE TO WAIT 5 DAYS DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR BEFORE THEY WILL WORK ON IT. I CONTACTED CORPORATE AND AM WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL TO DISCUSS THIS. ALSO SPUTTERING WHEN ACCELERATING HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE FIRST MONTH I HAD THE CAR. I DON'T THINK THEY REALIZE HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS. DOES SOMEONE NEED TO GET HURT OR KILLED BEFORE HYUNDAI ISSUES A RECALL AND/OR A BUY BACK?? I ONLY HAVE 4300 MILES ON THE CAR. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING IT.

LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, WITH MAYBE 4000 MILES ON IT, AS I TRIED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONE MORNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WOULD REV AND THE RPMS WOULD CLIMB, IT WAS ONLY AFTER SEVERAL TIMES OF PUTTING THE CAR BACK IN PARK AND THEN REVERSE DID IT FINALLY ENGAGE. AFTER THAT, WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, UPON ACCELERATION IT WOULD SEEM TO HESITATE THEN LURCH. THE NEXT TIME SUCH AN INCIDENT OCCURRED WAS A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER. I WAS STOPPED AT A SIGNAL AND WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR DID NOT MOVE, AGAIN. IT TOOK SEVERAL TIMES OF PUTTING IT IN PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT WOULD ENGAGE. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. I FIND THIS DANGEROUS AND DOWNRIGHT SCARY. LUCKILY, NO ONE HAS REAR ENDED ME OR WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS. THEY SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG AND THAT NO TROUBLE CODES SHOW UP. I SEE THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FILED ON YOUR SIGHT ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, SO SOMETHING IS WRONG, DANGEROUSLY SO! WOULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS FOR US.

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON STARTED HAVING ACCELERATOR ISSUES. AFTER YOU TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP YOU JUST GET NO POWER AND THIS IS WHEN THE PERSON BEHIND HAS ALREADY TAKEN OFF OR YOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION I HAVE HAD MANY DRIVERS SLAM ON THEIR BREAKS DUE TO MY CAR NOT ACCELERATING. 188 CLAIMS ON 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ON AUTO.CLIAMS WEBSITE 7/11 TOOK CAR INTO DEARLERSHIP 7/12 PICKED CAR UP FROM DEALERSHIP, TOLD ME THEY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT 7/14 STILL NOT FIXED SAME PROBLEM, TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP , TECHNICIAN SAID IT NEEDED A PART THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED- WOULD OVERNIGHT FOR 7/18 DELIVERY 7/19 TOOK CAR BACK IN. DEALERSHIP KNEW NOTHING ABOUT A PART, SAID THAT HYUNDAI WAS AWARE OF ISSUE AND DID NOT HAVE A FIX. SERVICE DEPT SAID I SHOULD DRIVE IN 'SPORT' MODE AND IT WOULD HAPPEN LESS 7/19 CALLED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIR AND PUT IN CLAIM. I WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET IN TOUCH WITH ME 3-5 DAYS. CALLED EVERY DAY AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. ALSO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS GIVEN PRIORITY AND SENT UP TO REGION. 7/28 RECEIVED A CALL AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD GOOD NEWS THAT HYUNAI HAD A FIX 5-7 WEEKS . REALLY I WAS TO DRIVE A UNSAFE CAR FOR 5-7 WEEKS 7/29 STARTED PROCESS CLAIM FOR HYUNDAI TO BUY BACK THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON - WAS TOLD IT'S A 8 WEEK PROCESS

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED WHICH HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE ONTO A HIGHWAY/ROAD FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LURCHES AHEAD. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND AND IT DOES NOT. ALSO GOING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND NOT REALLY ACCELERATING AT ALL IT LURCHES AND BACKS OFF AND LURCHES AND BACKS OFF. THEN WHEN YOU DO STEP ON THE GAS IT ALMOST QUITS THEN LURCHES. I'M TOLD ITS CAUSED BY THE MANUAL CELINOID WHICH CAUSES THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I'M NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A LOANER. HYUNDAI HAS SENT ME PAPERWORK TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE BUT THEN I HAVE NOTHING WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE.

MY BRAND NEW CAR, 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED TURBO, PURCHASED IN MARCH 2016, IS CAUSING A LIFE THREATENING HAZARD. MULTIPLE TIMES, ALTHOUGH SPORADIC, MY CAR WILL NOT MOVE WHEN I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AFTER BEING A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT DUPLICATING ITSELF TO THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THEY ARE NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM. TODAY, JULY 27, 2016, ANOTHER DRIVER NEARLY RAN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR AS THEY WERE GOING FULL SPEED AND I GUESS THEY ANTICIPATED THAT WOULD MOVE UPON THE LIGHT TURNING GREEN; I PRESS THE GAS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I DO NOT WANT TO END UP IN A TRAGIC ACCIDENT OR BE A VICTIM OF ROAD RAGE BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS NOT BEING DUPLICATED AT THE TIME I TAKE IT IN TO SERVICE. I SEARCHED FOR THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE EXACT COMPLAINTS VOICED ABOUT THIS SAME MODELED CAR. I LOVE MY LIFE AND DO NOT WANT TO TAKE CHANCES IN THIS CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. CAN YOU DIRECT ME?

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE. IT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME RIGHT IN THE MORNING FROM MY DRIVEWAY. PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND CAR WAS INCHING FORWARD WHILE GIVING IT PLENTY OF GAS/RPMS. CAR FINALLY WENT INTO GEAR AND STARTED TO MOVE AND WAS DRIVING NORMAL FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT SINCE IT ONLY HAPPENED ONCE. THEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS LATER, STOPPED AT RED LIGHT, ONCE IT TURNED GREEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE SAME THING, INCHING FORWARD, HIGH RPMS, FINALLY TOOK GEAR AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS AND MANY UPSET PEOPLE BEHIND ME. THIS BRING ME TO YESTERDAY, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN TO CROSS A BUSY NON-STOPPING CROSS TRAFFIC, WAITING TO CROSS THE STREET, FOUND AN OPENING AND STEPPED ON THE GAS EXPECTING THE CAR TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. I HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO MOVE THROUGH, BUT SUDDENLY MY CAR JUST DECIDED TO NOT MOVE WHILE STUCK RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. ONCOMING CAR HAD TO SWERVE AND NEARLY HIT MY HOOD. FINALLY CAR STARTED TO MOVE TO BARELY MAKE IT OUT OF THE WAY FOR THE 2ND ONCOMING CAR, SCARY STUFF. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY 2 INCIDENTS AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL FOR THE TURBO". ALSO, I NOTICED THAT WHEN I DRIVE UP AN INCLINE (SAY A PARKING GARAGE) WHEN I GET TO THE TOP AND LEVEL OUT, MY CAR GETS A HUGE RUSH OF RPMS AND IM NOT EVEN STEPPING ON THE GAS. NOT SURE IF THIS IS AT ALL RELATED, BUT JUST ASSUMING THAT IT IS PART OF THE BIGGER PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. CAR IS 2016 TUCSON, LIMITED, ULTIMATE PACKAGE, AWD I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. I HOPE THERE IS A FIX FOR THIS SOON.

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR OVER 20 MILES (SO WARMED UP), STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT ENGAGE, I WAS IN ECO MODE AT THE TIME, I SHIFTED IT TO MANUAL AND APPLY THE GAS NOTHING, SHIFTED TO SPORT STILL NOTHING, FINALLY TURNED OFF CAR WAITED, TURNED CAR BACK ON (WHILE TRAFFIC PILING UP) AND FINALLY SLOWLY STARTED TO MOVE. I HAD A SCHEDULED APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALERSHIP (AS I HAD LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT), AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE (WHICH I COME TO FIND WAS NOT A TRUE STATEMENT). THEY SAID UNLESS THEY CAN REPLICATE IT OR THE ENGINE TRIGGERS THE ALARM NOTHING THEY CAN DO. CAR CONTINUED TO ACT UP, LAST TIME WAS AFTER REMOTE STARTING IT AND TRIED TO LEAVE THE PARKING LOT, WOULD NOT ENGAGE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY ADVISED STILL NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE, AND UNLESS IT TRIGGERS A WARNING NOTHING THEY CAN DO. UPON COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, I CALLED THE NATIONAL OFFICE TO LOG COMPLAINT, THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE MY CAR IN, AS THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE ABLE TO FIX IT, THAT WAS 2 WEEKS AGO AND HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING SINCE. I TURNED IT IN BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT KNOWING WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT ENGAGE WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY PASSENGERS SAFETY.
