I PURCHESED MY NEW 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON TURBO IN FEB. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH IT. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN SLUGGISH ON ACCELARTION AND AT TIMES WON'T MOVE AT ALL AFTER A STOP. IT HAS HAD NUMEROUS "UPDATES" FOR THE TRANSMISION WITH NO SUCCESS. AT TIMES IT WILL ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN IN DRIVE AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHILE AT DRIVE THRUS OR ON AN INCLINE . IT REMAINED IN THE SHOP FOR ONE OF THE TIMES FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS. A HYUNDAI ENGINEER HAS INSPECTED MY CAR AND SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG IT. ALL OF THE ISSUES I HAVE HAD ARE NOT NORMAL, AND THEY AGREE BUT STATE THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE SERVICE DEPT HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR AND AGREE THAT IT STILL HAS THE HESITATION, BUT SAY THEIR HANDS ARE TIED UNTIL HYUNDAI HAS A SOLUTION. IT DOESN'T THROW A CODE ON ANY OF THE ISSUES. IT HAS EVEN DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP REPEATEDLY FOR THE SAME ISSUES. NOW, THIS LAST TIME, I AM GETTING A BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. IT IS NOW BACK IN THE SHOP FOR THAT ISSUE ALONG WITH THE SAME SLUGGISH DELAYED ACCELEARTION. I AM 100% UNHAPPY WITH THIS PURCHASE. I SEE WHERE HUNDAI IS MAKING A RECALL, BUT I AM UNSURE IF THIS NEW UPDATE IS ANY DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHER TWO MY SUV HAS ALREADY HAD. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CERTAINLY HAS MAJOR ISSUES.

WHEN BEGINNING TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP, THE CAR ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WILL JERK FORWARD. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL TAKE OFF. I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IT'S FIRST SERVICE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT. THE PROBLEM WITH THE CAR HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BUT WAS JUST VERY ANNOYING TO DRIVE UNTIL RECENTLY. THE OTHER DAY I TRIED TO CROSS A MAIN HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A CAR COMING BUT NORMALLY I WOULD HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO CROSS SAFELY. THE CAR REVVED UP BUT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR ENGINE REVVED WAY UP AND THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY CAUGHT UP. THE CAR TOOK OFF VERY ABRUPTLY. BY THIS TIME THE APPROACHING CAR WAS TOO CLOSE AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TRIED TO CROSS. I HAVE NOT LOGGED ANY OF THE INSTANCES YET BUT WILL BEGIN DOING SO NOW. THERE WAS ANOTHER INSTANCE THAT COMES TO MIND. I WAS PARKED FACING DOWNHILL IN A CHURCH PARKING LOT. THERE WAS A PARKED CAR FACING ME DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE SPOT, THE CAR REVVED UP AND IT BEGAN ROLLING FORWARD TOWARDS THE OTHER PARKED CAR. THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY CAUGHT UP AND THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARDS. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM A LOT WHILE GOING THROUGH DRIVE THRU RESTAURANTS. NOT ONLY IS THE CAR DANGEROUS TO DRIVE, IT IS ALSO VERY ANNOYING TO DRIVE. AT THIS POINT THE SOLUTION I WOULD PREFER WOULD BE FOR THE DEALERSHIP TO GIVE ME MY DOWN PAYMENT BACK AND TAKE THE CAR BACK. I DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO PAY HIGH PAYMENTS FOR A DANGEROUS CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WOULD SOMETIMES BECOME STUCK BETWEEN 30 AND 60 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT AND OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED A TOTAL OF THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. A MONTH LATER, THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND KEPT FOR 40 DAYS BECAUSE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN ECO-MODE, WHICH WOULD HINDER THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE TO SAVE FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN AND REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.

I BOUGHT MY CAR 2 MONTHS AGO, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I TRY TO MOVE FROM A FULL STOP, LIGHT OR PARK MY CAR DON'T WANT TO MOVE AS YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL YOU ONLY HEAR THE RPM RAISEN BUT CAR STAYS STILL AFTER A FEW SECUNDS THE CAR WILL IT MOVES ABRUPTLY AND IT'S HARD TO CONTROL THE MOVEMENT AS YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL START MOVING

MY CAR WAS STOPPED BECAUSE I NEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE TUSCON WAS SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND I WAS ALMOST STRUCK. A SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED BUT THERE ARE STILL ACCELERATION ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE TOLD THE HYUNDAI DEALER THAT THIS SUV IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD.
