2016 Hyundai Tucson

I'VE OWNED MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR LESS THEN 1 MONTH NOW. ON 3 OCCASSIONS AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS TO FAIL. MY RPMS GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE UNTIL PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL 3 TIMES OR MORE VERY HARD. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT. I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING AND ON COMING TRAFFIC IS COMING BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME IF STRUCK WHILE MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY. I'M NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE AND FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO PULL THESE OFF THE ROADS!!

BOUGHT CERTIFIED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TURBO LTD WITH ECO AND DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I'VE HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY SON AND DAUGHTER TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL. THE CAR KEPT ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT EVERY STOP, IT KEPT STUTTERING, AND WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THE RPMS KEEP RISING, AND DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS. IT REFS AND RPM GOES UP BUT IT DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS UP OR DOWN SHIFT EITHER. THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND WON'T SWITCH GEARS. IT'S LIKE IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU WANT IT TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN STOPPED IT WANTS TO STALL. TODAY IT HAPPENED. WE CAME TO A STOP SO WE COULD TURN LEFT ONTO AN ONRAMP ON HIGHWAY, (HAVE TO CROSS OVER OTHER LANE TO GO ON ON RAMP), AND IT STUTTERED AND STALLED ON OPPOSITE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIDE, BEFORE WE COULD REACH THE RAMP. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN FRONT SEAT AND DAUGHTER WAS IN BACK SEAT, I GOT SCARED, AS YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT COMING OVER THE HILL ON SIDE WE STALLED (ONCOMING TRAFFIC). THE GUY SAW WE HAD STALLED AND RAN OUT AND STARTED WAVING SOMETHING DOWN. IT WAS AN ONCOMING SEMI. THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO REDIRECT HIM OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK. WE GOT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. I LOOKED UP WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A MASS RECALL OF MY EXACT CAR MODEL, IN THE EXACT TIME FRAME OF VEHICLE BEING MADE. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT THINGS THAT ARE AND DID HAPPEN TO US. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY NEVER DIVULGED THIS INFORMATION AND THEY SAID THE DIDN'T KNOW. I READ ON THE NHTSA SITE THAT MY EXACT SUV, MADE THE SAME DATE, HYUNDAI HAD RECALLED, BUT MINE FOR SOME REASON IS NOT. PROBLEM IS WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN, NOTHING COMES UP FOR A RECALL. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY KIDS BACK IN THIS CAR. I JUST DROPPED $24,000 5 DAYS AGO IN A CAR LOAN. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEHMAN HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 21400 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (866) 647-4751) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

ONCE PER DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT GROUND, THE CAR DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE "STEEP GRADE! PRESS BRAKE PEDAL" (PAGE 5-20 IN THE OWNERS MANUAL). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND CAN NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, HOWEVER THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS FOR ME ONCE PER DAY! I OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE BUT THE CASE IS OPEN AND UNRESOLVED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND ONLY HAPPENS ONCE PER DAY. AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD DIRECTLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND HYUNDAI AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS NEED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THIS DEFECT. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING THAT I'M HAPPY TO SHARE AS WELL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FIRST HYUNDAI (270 E WASHINGTON ST, NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH, MA 02760) THREE TIMES, BUT WAS NEVER DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000. *TT CONSUMER WAS ADVISED BY HOW TO STEP ON PEDALL TO PREVENT DUAL CLUTCH MOMENTARY FREEZE BY THE DEALER EMPLOYEES.*JB

WHEN CHANGING THE CAR FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE IT BUCKS/SHUDDERS (NOT EVERY TIME, BUT FREQUENTLY ENOUGH TO BE CONCERNING). WHEN FIRST PUT INTO DRIVE AFTER SITTING ALL DAY IT'LL BOOST FORWARD AND SHUDDER AND CONTINUE TO DO THAT IF YOU ROLL ALONG AT SLOW SPEEDS. SOMETIME IF YOU ARE TURNING AND PRESS THE GAS IT WILL EITHER NOT MOVE QUICKLY ENOUGH OR SUDDENLY BOOST FORWARD. DEALER HAS RESET BOOST SENSOR, REPLACED BOOST SENSOR, AND REPLACED TERMINAL BOOST SENSOR PLUGS INTO. I'M STILL EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE HESITATED, SHUTTERED, AND FAILED TO MOVE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (GERALD HYUNDAI, 209 HANSEN BLVD, NORTH AURORA, IL 60542, 630-907-8500) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,540 CONSUMER STATED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ( 0-5MPH), "OPERATING NOMINALLY", "CORRECTED BY TRANS ASSY-AUTO ADD GDS OPERATION", AS EXPLAINED TO US, CAR LEARNS OWNER'S DRIVING HABITS AND THEY RESET TO ORIGINAL FACTORY VALUES - WHICH DID NOTHING!! UPDATED 10/29/18*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE MAKING A RIGHT TURN WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A DELAY AND A SUDDEN INCREASE IN SPEED MOMENTS AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN TWICE. THE DEALER (NASHUA HYUNDAI, 140 DANIEL WEBSTER HWY, NASHUA, NH 03060, 603-891-3511) DIAGNOSED THAT A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS NECESSARY. THE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED, BUT FAILED TO PROVIDE A PERMANENT REMEDY AS THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AUTOFAIR HYUNDAI (1477 S WILLOW ST, MANCHESTER, NH 03103, 603-634-0500) WHO ALSO PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE, WHICH FAILED TO PREVENT THE FAILURE. THE DEALERS INDICATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT SPECIFICALLY DIAGNOSE THE PART THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INSTRUCTED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

MY CAR HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING (7X), INABILITY TO REVERSE (2X), AND A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT LIMITS MY SPEED (2X). TROUBLE ACCELERATING IS PRESENT IN ALL CASES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN OCTOBER 2015, AND A RECALL ON THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE RECALL WAS TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE CAR'S INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEMS STARTED IN MAY 2016 AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORMAL OPERATION OF DCT. IN DECEMBER 2016, THE SECOND PART OF THE DCT SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE. ONCE THE WARMER WEATHER CAME, MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUES IN APRIL 2017, JUNE 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, UPDATE), SEPTEMBER 2017, THREE TIMES IN OCTOBER 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, NORMAL), AND TWICE IN MAY 2018. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE IN WARM WEATHER (77 DEGREES TO 82 DEGREES) AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE ALL DAY. PRIOR TO OCTOBER, ALL INCIDENCES WERE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, ONE INCIDENT IN OCTOBER IS ALSO WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE, AND THE OTHER HAD A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME PAST 51MPH. FOR THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN MAY, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT TWO MILES, STOPPED AT A STORE PARKING LOT WITH THE AC RUNNING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION ERROR APPEARED AGAIN AT 32MPH LIMITING MY SPEED, AND I COULD NOT REVERSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND DROVE THE CAR TO THEM. THE MECHANIC BELIEVED MY ISSUE AND DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES, AND I WAS JUST TOLD THAT MY CAR IS ACTING NORMALLY. THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE THE CAR TO ME; HOWEVER, I HAVE STRESSED THE SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE.
