Deferred Failure Risk
Components and defects approaching or past their known service milestones
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.
One failed component has created stress on connected systems. Repair costs compound quickly — a $500 fix can become $3,000+ if cascade damage is ignored.

Oil consumption engine ticking hesitate to change gears poor acceleration.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended and stalled. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road, where the contact restarted the vehicle. The contact drove to his workplace and parted the vehicle. However, the vehicle later failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer it was purchased from, and the contact was informed that the engine had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then towed to Affordable Towing and Repair, where it was diagnosed that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vehicle was towed to 125,000.
Driver door does not open from the outside. Rear passenger door does not open at all.
Transmission previously replaced after failed Judder test. Transmission is failing again: Last few days the car will accelerate to 15 then it attempts to shift and power drops and pressing the pedal has no response or very little then it changes into what feels like 4th or 5th gear at 20 mph and acceleration is very sluggish and also switching into manual gear control is completely unresponsive. Power drop at 15 mph, the transmission jumping into what feels like 4th or 5th gear at 20 mph, and sluggish acceleration — is consistent with the clutch pack slipping and the TCM essentially giving up on lower gears and defaulting to a higher gear to protect itself. Manual mode being completely unresponsive is a significant red flag — it means the TCM may have entered a limp or failsafe mode where it’s overriding driver input entirely.
The power window motor and regulator on the drivers side failed to roll up the window. It was raining and made it stessful driving home . The window was stuck down and the rain was soaking the inside of the car. Very distracting while driving.
delayed response when accelerating from a stop
Oil drains very fast even with regular oil changes and maintenance. The vehicle began shaking and then completely stopped with very little warning. Check engine light flashed for under 60 seconds then vehicle would not move forward on the highway creating a major safety hazard. Engine smelled hot and like burning rubber.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light was illuminated and there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle needed an oil consumption cleaning. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
The engine in this 2016 Hyundai Tucson has experienced progressive failure symptoms consistent with the known rod bearing defect covered under Hyundai's engine warranty extension campaign. Symptoms include: excessive oil consumption requiring frequent top-offs over several months, severely degraded acceleration, failure to upshift under load, and an audible metallic crunching noise occurring around 4,000 RPM. A knock sensor fault code (P1326) was previously triggered (on 2/16/26), confirmed by a mechanic (on 2/17/26), and cleared. The dealer was visited (on 2/17/26) and refused to perform the campaign repair, stating no active code was present at that time. The vehicle is available for inspection. The problem has not been confirmed by the dealer despite a visit; the dealer declined to act citing absence of an active code. The vehicle has not been inspected by police or insurance. Warning symptoms include the prior knock sensor code, oil consumption, loss of power, and the current mechanical noise. Symptoms first appeared several months ago and have progressively worsened. The dealer's refusal to act under the existing campaign despite documented symptoms has left this vehicle in a dangerous condition on public roads.
Both rear doors actuators will not allow to open from inside or outside, the passenger will open from inside and the driver door intermittently is the same and I have to juggle the handle or smack above the handle to get it to open on driver side. The passenger is only opening from inside and have to smack above the handle or put pressure to door to have the actuator release....both rear doors do not open at all. This is a safety egress issue. I have minor children and they cannot get out of the vehicle and if an emergency, the first responders cannot get into it.
I have had 3 window motors go out in the last 7 months.
Took vehicle to dealership and had it diagnosed for the electrical system faults cause all the dashboard warning lights came on. Shop said it could be bad vacuum pump.
Driver side door lock actuator failure yesterday. 4/10/26 Purchased this car 8/15/25 was not told there was a problem and recall
Three power window regulators have failed on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson within a six-month period. The front driver and front passenger windows both failed first and required replacement. The rear driver-side window has now also failed and is currently stuck in the open position. When the failures occur, the window will move up slightly but then drop back down or will not stay closed, indicating a failure of the regulator mechanism rather than normal wear. The fact that multiple window regulators have failed in a short period suggests a defect or premature failure of this component. This creates a safety concern because one window is stuck open, exposing the vehicle interior to weather, reducing security, and potentially affecting driver visibility and safe operation. This appears to be a known issue with this model year, but my vehicle is not included in any recall.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine compartment. Moments later, the vehicle stalled after driving a very short distance. An independent mechanic arrived at the residence to perform an oil change and found metal shavings inside the oil. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
All dash warning lights are on and dash lights have a intermittent bright light surge. Hard to shut off engine and have to disconnect battery for electric power to shut off. Very noticeable hesitation in acceleration starting to drive
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while attempting to buckle the driver's side seat belt, the seat belt failed to buckle securely, and the seat belt failed to retract as designed. The contact had not attempted to pull on the seat belt and the seat belt was unable to buckle securely. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The local dealer was contacted dealer and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 78,361.
Hyundai Tucson Sport 2016 GDI engine. I am the original owner of this truck I have taken care of this truck so much it being my first brand new purchase. No oil leaks NOTHING! When I first purchased the vehicle I noticed that it would stall when I would accelerate but did not think too much of it since it was brand new. A few years passed started to notice frequent oil changes were supposed to be made. Another few years turbocharger went out had to get it replaced. The engine consumes so much oil at first I thought it was because the turbocharger was out so when I got it fixed I thought that would fix that issue and it didn’t. I got an oil change March 2, 2026 and on March 21, 2026 I was on the highway and the truck started to shake really bad I exited the highway went straight to the oil place they said I had no oil on the dipstick I got ANOTHER oil change (expensive) and when I turned on the car to leave the car shook again and the engine light was flickering on and off and finally stayed on the dash board. Barely made it home. Got a tow truck to tow it to Hyundai dealership they told me they will not see it unless I pay the diagnostic fee of $200 and even then they think it’s the engine with everything I described to them. They said since there are no recalls on the Tucson that Hyundai will not do anything for me I would have to pay out of pocket for everything. Had to pay the tow truck again to tow it to my house ($250). My car has all the symptoms all the other cars have that they have recalled. This is a huge safety issue because i drive on the highway a lot and everyone knows a car with no oil is extremely dangerous.
I had ANOTHER door latch lock assembly fail on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson. There was a TSB for this issue that the dealership said expired for my vehicle three months ago. They wanted a $200 diagnostic fee for a total repair of close to $1000. They confirmed it was another door latch lock assembly, although I’m not sure how because the door would not open from the inside OR the outside. When the rear passenger side assembly failed a week ago, my kids were stuck in the back of the vehicle. This is a potentially dangerous issue that Hyundai seems to be aware of. If the front driver’s side goes at the wrong time, and I am not able to open my door, it could have disastrous consequences. I could become trapped in my car in the event of an accident, fire, etc. Hyundai needs to recall all door latch assemblies and just replace them all free of charge. It’s ridiculous that it’s a guessing game of when they might stop functioning properly and potentially trap you inside the vehicle.
I am writing regarding the diagnosis provided for my vehicle [XXX] . I was informed today that the engine failure is being attributed to a "water hose failure" rather than the engine defects covered under the active safety recall/settlement regarding Connecting Rod Bearing failure. As there were no coolant leaks before or after the vehicle was towed to your dealership. I am formally requesting a re-evaluation and more detailed evidence. Given the known history of these engines seizing, I need to ensure this diagnosis is absolutely correct and not a symptom of the internal defect. I request the following information be provided immediately: 1. Evidence of Overheating: Did the vehicle store any specific "overheating" codes in the ECU prior to the engine shutting off? 2. Oil Pan Inspection: Has the oil pan been removed to inspect for metal shavings or debris? If the connecting rod bearings failed (the recall issue), there will likely be metallic debris in the oil, regardless of the condition of the water hose. 3. Bearing Clearance Test (BCT): Was the mandated Bearing Clearance Test performed? If not, I request that this be done, or that a teardown be performed to inspect the rod bearings specifically. 4. Causal Link: Can you provide evidence that the water hose failed causing the engine to seize, rather than the engine seizing causing a pressure spike that damaged the cooling system? I have no transportation to work and school. They would not honor a loaner. This has happened since Decemeber of 2025. I await your written response with the requested photos and technical data. My case # with Hyundai Consumer Affairs # XXX Please provide: All relevant photographs Freeze-frame and ECU data Technician diagnostic notes Results of oil pan inspection and/or BCT (if performed) Any physical evidence supporting the stated cause of failure I request this information be sent in writing at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your attention to INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle: 2016 Hyundai Tucson Issue Category: Engine / Powertrain / Vehicle Safety Complaint: I am reporting a serious safety issue involving my 2016 Hyundai Tucson equipped with a Theta II engine. My vehicle first displayed an engine oil warning light. I immediately took the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership, where I was charged approximately $500 for an oil change and diagnostic testing. I was told there were no issues with the vehicle. Within approximately 20 miles of leaving the dealership, the vehicle suddenly entered limp mode while driving and displayed diagnostic code P1326. This created a dangerous situation as the vehicle lost power unexpectedly. I returned the vehicle to the dealership, where a software update was performed. However, within another 20–30 miles, the exact same issue occurred again, with the vehicle entering limp mode and triggering code P1326. Hyundai has now refused to repair the engine under warranty and is attempting to attribute the issue to a catalytic converter problem, despite the presence of code P1326, which is associated with engine rod bearing failure and is part of a known defect affecting these vehicles. This condition presents a significant safety risk, as the vehicle can lose power suddenly while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. I believe this issue is directly related to the known Hyundai Theta II engine defect, which has been the subject of recalls and a class action settlement. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate Hyundai’s handling of these failures and their refusal to repair vehicles experiencing known engine defects that pose a safety risk
Three window regulators have failed, leaving the windows completely useless. The first occurring in heavy rain and making it impossible to close. This is an issue reported countless times online.
The transmission began slipping and hesitating within days of purchase. The vehicle intermittently fails to accelerate when pressing the gas pedal, especially when pulling into traffic or crossing intersections. This creates a serious safety risk because the vehicle does not respond when needed, leaving me exposed to oncoming traffic. The issue is intermittent and does not always trigger warning lamps or fault codes. The problem has been reproduced multiple times by me while driving under normal conditions. The selling dealer performed only a brief test drive and stated they could not duplicate the issue, but the hesitation and failure‑to‑accelerate continue to occur. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Hyundai, but the symptoms match known issues with the 2016 Tucson’s dual‑clutch transmission and TCM logic. There were no warning lights prior to the failure, and the symptoms first appeared within the first week of ownership. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
"On [XXX], my 2016 Hyundai Tucson (VIN [XXX] ) experienced severe engine power loss and mechanical noise under load while driving uphill, creating a dangerous safety situation. This occurred 2 days after a dealer visit (February 19, 2026) where an open KSDS Service Campaign (TSB HCE22-14-E600-TL, Issue 10D021) — directly related to engine monitoring — was left incomplete. The dealer subsequently denied an engine evaluation citing mileage over 150,000, despite the open campaign having no mileage restriction and despite a prior verbal commitment to cover repairs. Multiple follow-up attempts by phone, email, and WhatsApp have been ignored." INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
No check engine lights came on! The entire car caught fire and was engulfed in flames!!! Driver could have been killed!
My car had a KSDS knock sensor detection system campaign 966 installed in 2022 specifically to active if having rod bearing wear. Towed my car to Hyundai under the TXXM warranty and they said my bearing clearance was ok and i need new lifters and timing chain cost for repair $2900. I have asked for the full rod bearing wear test report and they will not provide it. They have had my vehicle for 20 days now and I am out of work on disability. Hyundai service center is generally expected to provide you with a report following a rod bearing wear test (often referred to as a Bearing Clearance Test or by a related service campaign, such as T6G or TSB 21-EM-004H). Here is what you can expect regarding reports and documentation: Documentation of Results: The dealership should provide a copy of the results, specifically noting if the bearing clearance passes or fails. Proof of Inspection: If the test is performed under a recall or Service Campaign (e.g., Campaign 966, 982, or T6G), they are required to document the inspection, which you can request for your records. Evidence of Damage: If the test results in a failed diagnosis, technicians often take photos of the engine internals, such as metal flakes in the oil pan or excessive wear, which are used to support the warranty claim. If the Test Passes: If your vehicle passes, ask the technician to print a copy of the results. If the Test Fails: A formal diagnosis of rod bearing failure, confirmed by this test, is required for engine replacement under the extended 15-year/150,000-mile warranty.

Excessive oil consumption caused engine failure on December 17, 2025. My truck stopped and I was stranded on Highway I55 South for 4 hours. Hyundai and the Extended warranty has denied fixing my truck. It is still at [XXX] Hyundai as of today. Hyundai’s failure to properly diagnose or repair this issue when it was first reported under warranty has caused financial burden, diminished vehicle value, loss of use and inconvenience, and emotional distress and stress. This is a legitimate safety concern. I am demanding resolution of an ongoing excessive oil consumption defect in my 2016 Hyundai vehicle. This defect began while the vehicle was under warranty and has continued despite proper maintenance and compliance with Hyundai’s service requirements. I expect Hyundai to honor its legal and contractual obligations without further delay. Please contact [XXX] [XXX] Hyundai) @ [XXX] for details regarding repairs, oil consumption tests, etc. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The engine, specifically cylinder # 3, has had a catastrophic failure at 114,000 miles. Engine repair shops and engine experts have determined the only fix is a complete engine replacement. Cost estimates are $8500 for a new engine + labor estimated at $2000. Scrap value is estimated at $1000 - $1500 The dealer from whom we bought the car in late 2015 said it is out of warranty. This is unacceptable. Please, please issue a recall on the engine of this vehicle. The vehicle is available for inspection if requested. Failure was catastrophic Problem has been confirmed by engine experts The car is not drivable to a manufacturing facility The engine has not been inspected by police nor our insurance company There we no warning lamps or messages Symptoms include shuddering at initial acceleration beginning at 75,000 miles Dealer said there was no problem and recommended and performed a transmission fluid change
Window regulator and motor have failed due to plastic gears stripping out. I have replaced my two front windows in 2024 at $1063 a window. This week I had both rear windows fail allowing the windows to drop down unexpectedly. I was able to manually pull the windows up and tape them. I was supposed to receive a call from Hyundai twice this week about getting these covered under a recall since all four has failed, but they have failed to contact me.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated, and there was a ticking sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to Auto Zone, where a mechanic diagnosed the vehicle with a knock sensor failure. The knock sensor was replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle was included in Manufacturer Campaign: CS966 for the transmission control module (TCM). The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who confirmed that the vehicle was included and the software update was performed. After the vehicle was repaired, the check engine warning light was no longer illuminated; however, approximately 30 minutes later, the vehicle failed to exceed 35 MPH, and the check engine warning light started flashing. The vehicle was returned to the dealer, and the contact was informed that the software update caused the vehicle to enter LIMP Mode to protect the engine. The dealer informed the contact to drive the vehicle for 30 days or a total of 500 -1000 miles, and if the vehicle continued to enter LIMP Mode or failed to operate as needed, to return the vehicle for the engine to be replaced. There were no additional repairs performed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.
I have diligently maintained the vehicle with all scheduled services performed at the Rick Case Hyundai dealership. My maintenance records show a documented history of proper oil changes and other essential services. These records confirm that the vehicle was regularly serviced according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The diagnostic report from the dealership indicates bad piston and heat marks, but there is no evidence to suggest this was caused by a lack of proper maintenance.
I am filing this complaint regarding my 2016 Hyundai Tucson due to excessive oil consumption. The vehicle burns oil at an abnormal rate, requiring me to add approximately one quart of engine oil every one to two weeks, even though the vehicle is driven very infrequently. This condition poses a serious safety risk because the engine could run low or completely out of oil while the vehicle is in operation, potentially causing sudden engine failure. This vehicle is used to transport my family, including children, which puts their safety at risk. I have taken the vehicle to Hyundai dealerships multiple times for full ispection , but no defect, warning, or solution was ever identified or communicated to me. There have been no warning lights or messages on the dashboard to alert me of low oil levels or engine problems, increasing the risk of failure without warning. The problem is ongoing and repeatable, and the vehicle and engine are available for inspection upon request.
The car has been diagnosed with internal engine failure by both an independent service center and a dealership service center. The issue was described as a rod timing issue causing knocking, leading to failure of the engine. A light was not on for a majority of the issue but did start flashing before car became completely undrivable. The car was sold to me with this issue and has been driven for nearly 3 years with a power loss issue that was dismissed as turbo lag or other issues. Driving a car with this issue that does not alert with a check engine light is a major threat to driver and passenger safety as it can result in engine seizure and vehicle fires. The engine issues began at the least before 58,000 miles, with total failure occuring at roughly 96,000 miles. Hyundai is known for this issue, particularly in turbo model engines. Only once during ownership of the car did the check engine light come on prior to engine failure. When checked, it was described as a catalytic converter issue. The service center also did an oil change on the car, and the light went off. The check engine light did not come on again for more than a year. The check engine light did not come on until after the issue was diagnosed by the independent service center it was taken to in January 2026.
There is a major problem with certain year Hyundai vehicles from 2016-2021 with the engine burning oil and clogging up the exhaust. My moms vehicle has been at dealership for evaluation and combustion cleaning multiple times and the problem still continues. There has been times where she is driving car and it starts to bog down and loose power which is a safety issue especially if on highway. The vehicle is burning oil, occasionally have to add oil. The engine light does come on at times. The car has been at dealership for recommended oil consumption test at every 1000 miles and has not passed. Combustion cleaning done each time and sent on way. Called and made complaint with Hyundai corporate and and got no where. The tech department at Hyundai factory gave dealership recommendations to do which were completed and still having same issue. The factory was only willing to cover 70% off the cost of new catalytic convertor and my mom to be responsible for remaining balance. Hyundai claimed that the convertor was out of warranty 8 years/80,000 miles even though this has been going on for past 2 years. This is not a problem caused by consumer but an issue with factory. Hyundai not living up to there 10 year/100,000 mile warranty as they advertise. There are facebook groups with people having same problems as we are with dealership not really doing anything other than combustion cleaning as advised by factory and corporate not doing anything either. I believe this is a major safety/defect issue with engines in these Hyundai Vehicles . What happens when someone is on the highway and the vehicle bogs down and another vehicle comes from behind and slams into you?
On my husband's way home from work he explained to me that the car had a "hiccup" and then an engine light blinked on, then it died at an intersection. He was pretty close to home so he got it started again and drove it home. He replaced spark plugs and coil packs and it still had a misfire. We took it to an auto repair shop where they did a scan and told us it had a dead hole in cylinder 2 and that it needs a full engine replacement. The car also had an oil change just before Thanksgiving. My husband checks oil regularly and added a quart a month before the oil change and it seems to consume more oil then it should.
Numerous issues with this vehicle. Now, when having oil change, told by the hyundai service center that it is using excessive oil and may need a new engine. In researching this problem, have discovered hyundai has had several problems with excessive oil consumption in their many of their hyundai vehicles, including the 2016 Tuscan
My 2016 Hyundai Tucson experienced engine failure consistent with known Hyundai engine defects. After reporting multiple battery outages, rapid oil consumption, and limited acceleration ability, outstanding warranties were checked and updated. However, the issues persisted, and the engine failed suddenly while I was driving. Hyundai denied warranty coverage without proof of the issues being unrelated to the warranty. This presents a serious safety hazard due to unexpected engine failure.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that after coming to a complete stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The vehicle went into LIMP Mode. In addition, the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 MPH. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to several dealers. The contact was informed that the unknown hoses and the dipstick melted inside due to the engine overheating. The contact stated that the catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact stated that the catalytic converter had been replaced three times since the first failure. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The contact was adding engine oil every two weeks. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The failure was a recurring failure, and the contact drove the vehicle intermittently due to the safety concerns. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
While driving under normal conditions, my engine experienced a sudden and catastrophic failure. The check-engine light illuminated, the vehicle began shaking violently, and I was forced to pull over immediately due to safety concerns. There was no prior warning and no oil pressure or oil warning light activated at any time before or during the failure. After stopping safely, I checked the oil level and found it lower than expected. I added oil as a precaution, but the condition did not improve and the vehicle became inoperable and required towing. The engine assembly remains intact and available for inspection upon request. This failure posed a serious safety risk, as the loss of engine function occurred without warning while the vehicle was in motion, creating the risk of stalling or loss of control. The vehicle was inspected by an authorized Hyundai dealership. Hyundai Motor America denied warranty and goodwill assistance, citing mileage and alleged insufficient maintenance documentation, despite the vehicle being within the 10-year powertrain period and despite the nature of the failure. Routine maintenance was performed throughout ownership; however, some historical service records are unavailable due to the age of the vehicle and changes in service locations over time. Multiple facilities no longer retain records from that period. Notably, no oil warning indicators never activated, which raises concern regarding the failure mechanism. Hyundai has acknowledged widespread engine issues in this engine family involving oil consumption, bearing failure, and sudden engine seizure. The symptoms and progression of this failure closely align with those known defect patterns. This complaint is submitted to document a sudden engine failure presenting a clear safety concern and to assist in identifying potential defect trends. This car has undergone previous engine repair, AC condenser and entire turbo by their service department previously 2022 & 2024 respectively.
Car died/lost power while driving in traffic 11/28/25. Good Samaritan was kind enough to push me off the road out of traffic. Car was towed to Hyundai dealer that day, then 12/1 told engine failure, required engine replacement. Class action lawsuit settlement for engine replacement, but denied by Hyundai because of "neglect", since I am not able to locate all of the service records that they request. Known faulty rotating assembly, and Hyundai has implemented concerted practice of denying warranty coverage for failed engine. Now having to pay almost $8K to replace with new engine, but concern that new engine will have same issue. (multiple posts about this). There was high potential for significant traffic collision, injury due to sudden, catastrophic engine failure. Traumatic experience.
While driving on the highway at normal speed, the vehicle suddenly lost power and shut off without warning. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the loss of power. I was able to safely pull over, but the engine would not restart at that time and the vehicle required towing. The sudden engine shutdown occurred in active traffic and created a safety risk due to loss of propulsion. The vehicle later restarted, but I brought it to an authorized Hyundai dealership for inspection. The dealership diagnosed internal engine damage, including piston ring failure and cylinder wall scoring, and advised that the engine would need to be replaced. Since the incident, the vehicle has shown intermittent oil pressure warning lights and reduced performance. The issue has been confirmed by a dealer inspection. The vehicle is currently not considered reliable or safe for regular driving.
Drove into a parking space, with the foot pressing on the brake pedal, the car suddenly and without warning rapidly accelerated uncontrolled causing the vehicle to accelerate past the end of the parking space causing property damage.
My motor has a knocking/tapping noise that is obnoxiously loud. My oil level is always changed on time every 3k miles. I have 146,257 miles on my vehicle. I was informed from my mechanic shop that many of the 1.6L motors have issues. I have never had an engine noise then boom its knocking. I was informed not to drive my car to further damage the vehicle. I do not drive it but now am stuck in a loan for a vehicle I cannot drive. I had zero warning for this matter.
Vehicle is showing KSDS-related engine warning behavior and the Hyundai dealership performed a diagnostic scan. The service manager told me, “I don’t recommend you driving it,” due to a potential engine safety issue. However, Hyundai Motor America’s National Consumer Affairs team is refusing to authorize towing or a loaner/rental until after a full diagnosis is completed. The dealership cannot complete the diagnosis unless the vehicle stays on-site, but I am unable to safely leave it because Hyundai is refusing transportation assistance and I was told not to drive it. This forces me to drive a vehicle they identified as unsafe in order to complete the required inspection. This involves KSDS/engine failure risk, which has been associated with stalling, loss of power, and possible fire hazards. Being advised not to drive while being denied towing or transportation creates a serious safety concern for myself and my children. I am requesting NHTSA document this incident because Hyundai is creating a safety hazard by refusing support for a vehicle they identified as unsafe to operate.
Part(s) Affected: Engine / Engine Control / Stall / Loss of Power Summary: My 2016 Hyundai Tucson (VIN: [XXX] ) has an active P1326 – Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) code, which indicates rod bearing wear and imminent engine failure. The vehicle experiences: •loss of power •inability to accelerate •engine hesitation •risk of stalling while driving These are serious safety risks. This issue is part of the Hyundai/Kia engine defect settlement XXX), yet Hyundai refuses to provide towing or address the safety risk despite the P1326 code being a known precursor to engine seizure. The vehicle is currently unsafe to drive, and Hyundai Customer Care has refused to escalate my case according to settlement requirements. This is a safety hazard that can cause engine seizure and sudden loss of power while driving. Details: •Hyundai Case #: XXX •Engine settlement code P1326 confirmed •Hyundai refusing proper support •Vehicle should not be driven NHTSA intervention is needed due to Hyundai’s failure to address a known safety defect.

Engine failure at 67k, Hyundai denied warranty
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled, and there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to Auto Zone, and a scanner was used to diagnose the vehicle. And it was determined that the catalytic converter had failed. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed the vehicle with oil intrusion into the catalytic converter. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil, and an abnormal sound was coming from the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled again. The contact was adding seven quarts of oil for every 3,000 miles driven. In addition, the catalytic converter failed to function as intended. No warning light was illuminated. The contact was concerned that the engine could fail. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Brought vehicle in on 07/10/25 to dealership with very low oil, it was determined vehicle was burning oil and combustion cleaning was recommended. Hyundai Corp. denied claim due to 2nd owner. We are not 2nd owner had to transfer title upon my father's death, vehicle owned by family. Hyundai then approved claim and combustion cleaning was done. We were then told by dealership to bring in vehicle every 1000 to check oil. On 2nd 1000 check it was determined to be burning oil and needed engine replacement. Hyundai Corp. denied claim this time stating gross maintenance neglect from 01/2018-06/2019 period but only 3084 miles were put on between oil change. This was not brought up during combustion denial. Also Hyundai stating out of warranty which expired 08/24/25 but issues started in 07/2025. I have asked Hyundai Case Manager to provide written proof in owner's manual where it shows we did not maintain vehicle in accordance to manual.
My 2016 Hyundai Tucson has a severe engine defect that causes excessive oil consumption and poses a safety risk while driving. It constantly throws the P1326 engine issue, which is the knock sensor.The issue is not due to any misuse or neglect on my part. The vehicle consumes approximately one quart of oil per week, and I have been advised by two different Hyundai dealerships not to invest any money into repairs because the engine should be replaced under Hyundai’s extended engine warranty (15 years/150,000 miles).Despite multiple attempts to get the issue resolved over the past year, Hyundai continues to deny the engine replacement, leaving me with no resolution and forcing me to drive an unsafe vehicle.The engine burns an excessive amount of oil and needs frequent refilling to prevent damage.The vehicle has stalled and runs rough at times, creating a safety concern.Both Hyundai dealerships I’ve visited confirmed that this is a known issue and advised me not to spend money on repairs since the engine qualifies for replacement under the extended warranty.Hyundai corporate continues to deny coverage and has not repaired or replaced the engine despite the clear warranty terms.The issue has persisted for nearly a year, and the vehicle continues to deteriorate.I believe this defect poses a serious safety hazard because the engine can fail without warning while driving. The excessive oil consumption also increases the risk of engine seizure, stalling, or fire. I am currently forced to operate the vehicle in unsafe conditions due to Hyundai’s inaction. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this ongoing engine defect and Hyundai’s repeated denial of warranty coverage for affected Tucson models. Owners should not be forced to drive unsafe vehicles or pay for repairs that should be covered under Hyundai’s extended
car often does not accelerate when hitting the gas. Was turning onto highway from a stop car did not accelerate causing other vehicle to swerve to avoid hitting me as my car would not move. Couple seconds later it moved
Have had to replace all four window regulators. From searching online, it appears there are quite a few other people who have had the same issue. Raising this issue in case others have to to create a recall. Thank you
Oil consumption is uneven, unpredictable, and has been a problem for at least 30,000 miles and since 2020. The car has ~74k miles on it and I carry a case of oil in the trunk. A couple years ago our catalytic converter clogged (I suspect from burning oil) and we were stuck on the roadside. Dealer replaced the catalytic converter under the power train warranty, but has not addressed the oil beyond a few consumption tests. They say it's "within normal parameters" but last night at a rest stop I had to add oil AGAIN. I feel like they're trying to wait until the warranty is up and then tell me it's not their problem.
Engine ran out of oil with no indication on instrument panel that it was happening. Engine now knocks and needs replacing. My independent service center has determined a failure. It is available for inspection.
As I was driving I was stopped & told my car was on fire. I immediately stopped & hopped out & less than 30 seconds later half of the hood caught heat/fire & flew into the windshield breaking it. At least half The car is burnt to ashes
My Tucson has been using an absurd amount of oil for the past 30,000 plus miles i had it in the shop for repairs for the exhaust/ turbo leaking due to broken stud bolt that finally was covered under warranty. But did nothing for the burning of oil. No oil leaks. It used a quart for every 500 miles. Now no warranty left i have a cylinder #1 misfire and have replaced sparkplug and will not come out of limp mode. Within a mile of driving the plug is oil fouled and goes back into limp mode. Probably will get no help from Hyundai to rebuild/ replacement of the motor.
I bought this car with 85,000 miles on it and at 94,000 miles i began hearing a knocking sound in the engine, even with completing the first two oil change intervals within my ownership. no check engine light or warning signs came on, even with the knock sensor update. the engines performance declined immensly, acting as if it was going to seize, and burning through 1qt oil/500 miles with no leaks. i had to continuously buy oil to keep the oil tank full, as no dealerships near me had any availability for 3 months from the time i called, to the time i got into an appointment. i took the vehicle to the dealership to have the engine replaced under class action warranty. the dealership took 4 months to replace the engine, the first 2 denying approval until it was inevitably approved. during those 2 months i was not provided with a loaner car, and due to my age i was unable to rent a car. i still had to continue to pay a car payment and insurance on a car that was undriveable. hyundai cooperate would go 5/14 days at a time without contacting me, even with me calling everyday to try and get an update. there was not any clarity, communication, or updates on the process. once my engine was replaced my catalytic converter had clogged due to the pervious oil burning issue prior to the engine replacement. hyundai told me the engine and exhaust system have nothing to do with each other, and the only thing they could do was have me replace the part with an oem part (a 5k replacement) and we could “file for reimbursement” but there’s no guarantee i would be reimbursed. i have been put out of thousands of dollars and the ability to drive my car for 6+ months due to hyundais negligence of this known issue. i can not get out of my loan as i owe on it more than the car is worth so i am stuck with a car i don’t feel safe in, and has continuous issues that compromise safety. this company needs to be seriously looked into and held accountable.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving 75 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power and was unable to accelerate above 35 MPH, prompting the contact to discontinue driving the vehicle. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who diagnosed failures with the engine knock sensor and catalytic converter. The contact was informed that the vehicle was consuming an abnormal amount of engine oil. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, a case was opened, and the contact was provided with Goodwill assistance. The failure mileage was 70,000.
While driving, on multiple occasions all warning lights will come on and the car will start to lose power. The headlights constantly go off and come back on randomly. Turn the blinker on and the rear window wipers intermittently come on. The vehicle has been towed to the dealership so many times and we either get “can’t duplicate” or needs oil change, which had just been done. Now we are being told that we need a second engine replacement. Unfortunately this time it will not be covered by warranty. We have reached out to Hyundaii Motors 3 times and the BBB Auto but they stand behind it not qualifying for the Lemon Law. Hyundai should have some obligation as all these issues are “known issues” just not recalls.The 2016 Hyundai Tucson is not a safe vehicle.
Front passenger door will not open using the key fob. It has to be opened from the inside door handle. If there was an accident the door would not be able to open from the outside. This is a serious safety issue. There have been numerous issues with this problem. Hyundai should recall these vehicles for this safety issue
Engine or transmission The vehicle has stalled randomly multiple times on the freeway, business roads and intersections, not accelerating and burning through oil Dealership says they cannot figure out or replicate the issue No check engine light or warning of any kind given
Dear NHTSA, I am submitting this complaint to report a recurring issue with oil consumption in my Hyundai vehicle, which I understand is a known problem affecting this particular engine type and model. I am the original owner and have been a loyal Hyundai customer for many years. I have followed all recommended maintenance, including regular oil changes. Despite this, my vehicle has developed excessive oil consumption that has not been resolved through standard service procedures. The dealership has contacted Hyundai for approval to perform a combustion chamber cleaning, but based on my research and feedback from other owners, this procedure does not effectively address the root cause of the issue. My concern is that this problem may be indicative of a broader mechanical defect that could impact engine performance and safety. My 10-year warranty is nearing expiration, and I am worried that delays in resolving this issue may result in the loss of warranty coverage for necessary repairs. I believe this issue warrants further investigation, as it appears to be affecting multiple vehicles with the same engine configuration. I respectfully request that NHTSA review this matter and consider whether a broader safety investigation is warranted. Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The rear doors cannot be opened from the inside or outside after the door is locked then unlocked. This is very dangerous for rear seat passengers. There are a lot of complaints online of this problem.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle inadvertently lost motive power. The contact was able to coast to the shoulder of the roadway, where the vehicle failed to restart. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
For about a year I have had issues with my car not accelerating in stop and go traffic. I push the gas pedal and it moves a little then will not go for about 20 seconds. Sometimes the engine will flutter. I have taken it to Hyundai and was told no diagnostic codes show and they can't find anything wrong despite bringing the reports from my auto shop of these things occuring. My car is going in yet again this week because this issue continues to get worse and I have almost caused several accidents in traffic due to not being able to drive. There is a recall however Hyundai says my car is not in the recall despite the same issues the recall is for. I have all routine service done when needed and have taken care of this vehicle but I feel like Hyundai should step up because this is very dangerous not only for myself but other commuters as well.The Hyundai dealership literally said they just have the sign on their building they don't support these issues
The back passenger door will not open from inside or outside. The front passenger door will not open from outside or inside. The warranty will not cover this as they are saying it it wear and tear. Hyundai has confirmed they know there is an issue with the doors but refuse a recall to fix this.
I leased a 2016 hyundai tucson from Metcalf Auto Plaza [XXX]. Every week since then i have had to return the car for repairs. It got to a point where Neil suggested he can trade it for another but each and every vehicle i test drove to replace my car was NOT ready to be on the road but according to them every car had just got out the shop. Instead of trying to have issues resolved the mechanics decide to make "jokes" as if your pain and suffering is a joke. Since i did not want a trade in and wanted my car fixed instead Neil tried to tell me that this was my final offer which i declined because why not just fix my car? I went to talk to Neil in person September 9, 2025 about getting my car fixed and the frustrations i am having because having to return the car weekly and i havent had it for a month is outrageous. [XXX] i was driving the hyundai on the highway with my children in the car and the electricity to the car completely cut off but came right back on, i got off the highway and the car did it again and this time the wheel locked up and i almost wrecked the car. I called metcalf and the only thing they could tell me was they can tow my car to metcalf but me and my children had to find our own means of transportation. Every time i called to have my car serviced and told them about what i would hear and feel they could NEVER make the car "do it again". I am beyond frustrated, upset and terrified because i have been telling them about smoking coming from the engine, rattling noise etc. My kids lives were put in danger and the only thing they could say was "i apologize and we can tow the car to the shop". Did not care if we had transportation and have never offered to give us any after continously getting stranded in the car. Now the car is towed to their shop once again and the car wouldnt even turn over for me to get it out of the middle of the street. I was blocking traffic and had to have the police block INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
In April of 2024, I bought my 2016 Hyundai Tucson for a certified dealership in FL. Within 2 months the car began shaking and I had to take it to have spark plugs replaced which cost several hundred dollars. Shortly after that in November 2024, I was driving on the highway to school when I got an ‘engine overheating alert’ and immediately pulled over to turn off the car. After waiting for a few minutes to let it cool down and noticing that the coolant was very low, I added some more coolant in and tried to restart the car, but it would not turn on. I had to get a tow truck to a repair shop to which they informed me that the headgasket had blown and it would cost about $12,000 to replace it. Ever since, my car has been towed to multiple Hyundai dealerships and repair shops when I sought after answers as to what happened and one told me that the engine was known for eating oil too quickly, causing it to blow. I bought the car only for $16,000 and would have to pay about the same amount just to fix the engine and reading multiple reports online have shown from other others having the same exact issues with no answers and being stuck. We have had it sitting in our garage ever since and still do not know what to do.
The rear doors stopped opening. Could be a failed lock actuator or the lock is sticking. This is a safety hazard, especially when traveling with a child in the car
The car will fail to accelerate when turning at a stop and starting at times. It’s very dangerous b/c you can be at a complete stop on the highway and try to start going and the car will sputter out. There is no doubt that something is wrong with the transmission and has been for a year but didn’t register until 12,000 miles later.the car only has 70,000 miles in it. I kept taking it to Hyundai to be looked at and they kept telling me it was just how the dual clutch transmission works. Now a year later they say it’s registering as a problem but don’t want to cover it under the warranty b/c I’m a second owner. If I was the original owner, it would be covered. If you look at the history of this year and make, you can see there have been issues with this car. I am extremely upset they aren’t willing to cover the cost. This is my [XXX] daughter’s car and this has been extremely dangerous to drive. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
1. "Transmission or ECU" 2. There is a lag and sometimes almost stall when accelerating from a stop. I was turning into a lane from a stop sign and the car decided to not move for 3-4 seconds after pressing accelerator. If people had come around the blind corner when that happened I would have been T boned. 3. All four people living in my house...... and our mechanic. Yes 4.No, because were not paying for something that has had a recall. 5. We inherited this car from my grandmother and she knows nothing about cars so she never thought anything was wrong. Since the day we got it, it has been doing the same thing "DCT CONTROL LOGIC UPDATE & P0128 DTC LOGIC UPDATE (RECALL 149)" #17-01-023
My catalytic converter caught on fire a couple months back then I hit a code for the knock sensor replaced it and it started to act up again I can’t go over 49 burning oil took it to Hyundai now they are saying my engine is going out and I’m still panting carmart got the car
i bought the car used, i took it in for diagnostics on my transmission. they claimed i needed a new one, not claiming i need a new clutch. my car’s model and year match the DCT recall problems. but not the vin. when my car was in the heat or accelerating it had the same issues listed. i believe this is a manufacturing issue.
original owner. Car shook badly and hesitated losing speed at 61k. dealership replaced all or four ignition coils and spark plugs. Car started and burning oil at 61,000 despite regular oil changes at 3500. Mostly done by the dealership. Car has been burning oil uses 1 quart every 500 miles. All four window regulators have stopped working. I replaced one.
1. December 2024: Hyundai dealership diagnosed my transmission as defective (unable to shift properly) and recommended a full replacement. Despite this, they assured me the vehicle was "safe to drive" without disclosing risks. - Unedited dealer text: "The tech said he doesn’t think it will break down or leave you stranded, he just can’t get it to shift correctly." - No warnings were given about prolonged use, highway driving, or potential failure. 2. Post-Repair Damage: After relying on Hyundai’s advice, the transmission worsened, causing additional damage (e.g., radiator failure). 3. Recall Negligence: My VIN was wrongly excluded from Recall 16V-628 (transmission control issues), despite exhibiting identical symptoms. They didn't cover repairs, despite their technician confirming the defect. The safety impacts are as follows: - Sudden loss of power while driving (e.g., inability to accelerate or shift). - Increased crash risk due to erratic transmission behavior. - Hyundai’s failure to warn put me and other drivers in danger. I am requesting: - Investigate why my VIN was excluded from Recall 16V-628. - Force Hyundai to reimburse repairs and extend recall coverage. - Require Hyundai to issue clear safety warnings after faulty repairs. Attached is the following: - The radiator repair invoice. - Proof of text from Hyundai. - Proof of my Vin being excluded from recall. - Quote for my transmission repair.
I have been dealing with ongoing engine performance problems for over a year. My Tucson consumes oil at an abnormal rate, and I constantly have to refill it. There is also sluggish acceleration, and the Check Engine Light has stayed on despite multiple inspections and maintenance efforts. I’ve seen hundreds of complaints about this exact issue from other Hyundai owners. I also found that an NHTSA investigation is ongoing, yet Hyundai continues to deny responsibility, often blaming the issue on the owner. I believe this is a safety concern and a manufacturer defect that needs to be addressed before more drivers experience full engine failure. Please investigate this further and include my VIN in any future action or recall.
The reason of this complain is due to excessive oil consumption which now damaged my catalytic converter against Hyundai Motors America. The complained started 2021 where we noticed that the low oil engine light up after only 1500 miles from last oil change. We submitted the complained with dealer (Carlsbad and Escondido CA) and my car failed 3 consecutive oil consumption test and Hyundai performed an engine cleaning, claiming it was going to fix the problem. This happened when the vehicle was still under warranty. At the time they said that if this did not fix the problem, they were still going to fix the car since the issue happened under warranty. The engine cleaning DID NOT fixed the problem, my car no longer has warranty and my catalytic converter fails and makes the vehicle inoperable in highway (engine ceases to accelerate) . We submitted a complain with Hyundai corporate and they denied fixing our car since the vehicle was no longer under warranty. I would like to ask for them to fix the engine and catalytic converter make the car operable again.
All Windows regulators failed one after another. They make sound when trying to close but nothing happens. The windows get stucked.
Door latch - after a few attempts of trying to open my rear passenger door. The handle does not seem to function properly and I’ve seen that a lot of 2016s Tuscon have this issue with their doors
Brakes locks and the vehicle do not move. Vehicle was parked. Recently I noticed that the vehicle was breaking by itself instead of keep moving. Until today the vehicle brakes lock and do not move.
-Power window failures of all 4 windows. -Windows will not open and close which creates a safety issue in case of an accident that renders the doors inoperable and escape is needed via windows. Also, if the driver is pulled over, the car windows do not work which makes the driver have to open the door which puts both the driver and police officer at risk. -Both a dealer service center and an independent service center has confirmed the problem. -Component was inspected by both a dealer maintenance shop and an independent repair shop. -There were no warnings.
Me and my daughter were headed back home from a family trip and we were stranded on the side of the road luckily we had family tailing us!! My engine light came on while we were still in the city in Savannah so we stopped by an autozone and changed the spark plugs so the engine light stopped blinking but when we got about 20 miles from home it stopped going we had to pull over it started smoking and it was really hot but the temperature had never moved we had it towed home!! I keep my maintenance up regularly on my car I had 2 mechanics check it out they both said the piston is breaking the spark plugs and it’s something down in the motor that’s doing it I should not have any motor issues at all with my car!! Especially when I do my part at keeping it up I was quoted 7,738 to fix my car which I don’t have both mechanics said the engine in those cars are no good and it’s been recalls on them just not my model it’s not right I’m out of a car and no way to work or no way for my kids to get around they have to ride in Lyfts and Ubers with strangers I feel like my car should be fixed because I did my part at keeping it up and I’m still out of car and frustrated due to the companies negligence!!
While driving I noticed my ABS, Traction Control, AEB, and a couple of other lights came on. Upon restarting my car it was still there but the lights went away on their own after a few minutes of driving. They have been periodically turning and and off as I've driven the past couple of days. I went to the local mechanic shop who performed a diagnostic and found it to be a faulty left rear wheel speed sensor. When researching online, I've come across many people with the same make, model, and year as my car that have experienced this issue.
total engine failure. per dealership mechanic, random misfires on all cylinders with a dead miss on 4
Engine has rod knock and low power due to rod bearing failure. There was never an illuminated oil light or message of any sort prior to failure. this vehicle has had oil changes regularly and never been an issue till now. With Hyundai not having a recall on this engine, and seeing many other reviews about this same issue it is a very dangerous issue leaving people stranded and loosing power in times where serious harm issues could occur and this issue is very costly being that the engine will have to be replaced. As a consumer taking care of the vehicle and still the engine failing due to the lack of integrity of Hyundai I believe Hyundai should step up and make it right and take care of the people who have spent there hard earned money on these cars and are now left in the dark.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 55 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power and started vibrating abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact pulled over and was able to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was advised that the ignition coils, water pump, spark plugs, valve, oil filter, and the engine were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.
Was driving down busy road when engine suddenly knocked violently and shut off rendering car inoperable. Inspection revealed low oil, despite not being due for an oil change after and no visible/identifiable leaks. Investigation by mechanic resulted in being told that numerous Hyundai engines like this are having the same problems and need total engine replacements. The call only had 70,000. Dealership said they see one a week.
Acceleration issues especially after coming stop. When proceeding to accelerate you can push pedal multiple times before the car jerks into movement.
The vehicle does not accelerate entering roadway, transmission replaced in 2022, catalytic convertor replaced in 2024. Several instances occurred when entering highway vehicle lost power and failed to merge safely, ultimately requiring hasty exit to roadside to avoid collision. The vehicle was purchased used but has been a safety risk since purchase date. Originally diagnosed transmission, then catalytic convertor, then knock control sensor. Engine oil is replaced more often than routine maintenance and refilled in between oil changes. Autonation Hyundai Mall of Georgia originally assisted with transmission replacement Feb 2022, catalytic convertor was replaced in Mar 2024. The vehicle has been parked for considerable time while insurance and car payments continue. In Feb 2025 my daughter was driving and was nearly rear ended when vehicle failed to accelerate, it has primarily parked since that time while exploring repairs. Car fails [XXX] enroute to game. Last quote to repair catalytic convertor was Total Automotive in Gainesville Ga. around 19 May 2025. I believe this vehicle poses a significant safety risk due to acceleration delays, all attempts to resolve have been unsuccessful.

I received a email about a recall my vehicle has I made an appointment with the Hyundai dealership which sent the email. Hyundai Wesley Chapel in Tampa FL and I took it in on 6/16/2025 at 10am and waited an hour. The service advisor came to me and advised me that my vehicle was purchased in Puerto Rico and cannot be serviced because they don’t have the parts. This is unacceptable and don’t understand why they went through the trouble of sending me an email regarding this recall to waste my day at the dealership.
Misfire, excessive oil consumption, engine knocking, loss of power/acceleration, gas smell, excessive gas consumption
Was driving down busy city road when engine suddenly knocked violently and shut off rendering car inoperable as traffic had to go around my disabled vehicle. Inspection revealed low oil, despite filling 4 weeks prior after change and no visible/identifiable leaks. Investigation by mechanic resulted in being told that numerous Hyundai engines like this are having the same problems and need total engine replacements. They said that they "see this at least once a week in these Hyundai's and Kia's". There were no warning lights or anything prior to the event.
I’ve been having ongoing issues with my 2016 Hyundai Tucson where the car struggles to accelerate, especially after stopping at red lights or pulling out into traffic. Sometimes, when I press the gas pedal, the car either hesitates badly or doesn’t move at all. A few times it’s completely stalled while trying to make turns or cross intersections, which has been really scary and dangerous. I did some research and found there was a known recall for this exact problem related to the Transmission Control Module software and the dual-clutch transmission. The symptoms described in the recall match mine perfectly, but when I checked my VIN, my vehicle isn’t included. I haven’t taken it to the dealer yet because I’m worried I’ll have to pay out of pocket for something that I believe is part of a known manufacturer issue.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the brake pedal inadvertently engaged, with the ABS warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the hydraulic unit assembly for the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Excessive oil consumption
The regulators and motors for the automatic windows have failed. The windows do not remain in the closed position causing the window to slide open. The front passenger window motor failed first and the driver's window failed shortly after. Both regulators and motors were replaced by the dealer in April 2024. The back passenger side window failed in December 2024 and has not been replaced. If needed, the faulty mechanism could be provided for inspection. Failure of the closing mechanism for the windows means they can easily be opened from outside. A malicious person could break into the vehicle simply by sliding the window down. To my knowledge, no one has inspected the regulators or motors. Two other 2016 Hyundai Tucson owners I know have also had their window regulators and motors replaced. There was no warning to the automatic window failure.
My 2016 tuscon has been giving be problems. I went to the dealership awhile back and told them that the oil has been burning having and that there's a perk when I start my car. They did an oil change and told me that I needed to lube the gears up first before running it. I assumed it was because my warranty was ending and because I was a girl, that was a quick go away problem. Well eastward today. I put oil in the engine at least once a week or more. The car is in the shop, and the machanics at pep boys are saying this is a reoccurring problem for this type of car. Also that all 2016 are made with the same engine pretty much so they should all be recalled. They quoted me 10 grand for a used engine. I'm taking it to hyundai, the pep boys told me that it's the same issues as the other recalls
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at approximately 15 MPH, the vehicle stalled and shuddered. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle remained at the residence. A dealer was contacted and made the contact aware of an unknown NHTSA Campaign Number; however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
The window regulator for 3 of the 4 windows have failed, the first at approx. 80,000 miles, the second two at 113,000 miles. The windows were not being operated when the component failed and just randomly opened while driving and could not be closed via the switch. This caused distraction and difficulty driving as it was raining for the second incident. When observed, the plastic window regulators were degraded to the point that the plastic was a powder.
One of the back doors Will not open. Lock is stuck on. This is VERY Dangerous if need to get a child strapped IN/ OUT!!!! I googled this and see it's been a problem for many years on this make/model. HIGH FEES from dealers per door for their manufacturing Defect! Easy fit for a husband who will pull the door apart to fix the issue! Which MINE IS NOT!
Car started to not accelerate when pressing on gas pedal the RPMs would not raise or lower during this time it could be on a hill or on a flat surface at any type of stops whether it was a stop sign or a stoplight it didn't matter how much gas you gave the car it would not move and then it would start bouncing what I would describe as hopping the car would start jerking constantly until you released off the gas and gave it more gas until it would finally go this was happening on highways or on city streets while driving down a highway my engine made a funky sound and it turns out my engine rods blue I went to the dealership they told me my car was safe to drive I continued driving my car until it started not shifting this was 3 days after going to the dealership. I called the dealership back told them I was bringing my car to them due to the issues it was having. After several weeks the dealership told me my car needed a brand new engine and transmission due to engine rods breaking transmission went out and metal in the oil filter. Not even 6 months later my car is have the exact same issues and my dealership is not want to do anything to fix my car even with having a warranty to cover everything they fixed.
The engine sometimes stalls and does not accelerate in relation to the pressure applied to the gas pedal. This has caused me scenarios where I am waiting to make a left turn and putter into the lane of opposing traffic, instead of accelerating through the turn. Another symptom of the engine is burning engine oil excessively. I am not aware if the issues are related or not.
Excessive oil consumption which has then in turned caused my catalytic converter to go out.
Fuel injectors no warning…went to get breaks checked, while they were checking them the engine light turned on after that they couldn’t get my car to start again.
car is in limp mode,will not accelerate.Oil consultant over a few years.Dealership has requested new engine twice and denied by Hyundai USA.i have to put flashers on just to get on highway so im not killed.I will drive down the street and back and my engine will be extremely hot for hours.I am limited to my hometown only.I can not go out of my hometown due to heat of engine and blowing hoses and water pumps which has happened.This car is a danger and I am in financial burden to high repairs and excuses from dealerships.i have spent over 16,000 dollars and 3 catalyc converters later due to clogging ,in result to oul consumption.This car is a lemon and has ruined my life for the last 3/4 years.lots of stress and financial expenses only to have the same problem
Engine is burning oil and has been for sometime. Won’t Accelerate and sputters Tie rods are worn out. This car is a lemon and dangerous to drive
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shook abnormally with several unknown warning lights illuminated. The contact noticed an oil odor. The vehicle was driven to the residence. The contact's father, who is an independent mechanic, inspected the vehicle and diagnosed the vehicle with oil consumption and engine failure. The contact was advised that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was advised to monitor the exhaust for smoke and add oil daily. In addition, two days later the contact attempted to start the vehicle, and the vehicle started after several attempts. The was an abnormal oil odor entering the vehicle through the vents. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 107,000.
Window is stuck down. Window does not roll up. The Hyundai Tucson doors are notorious for having problems from not unlocking, opening, to the windows not working. These are all safety hazards. The doors not unlocking or opening are covered under an extended warranty but the window issues, which are equally as problematic, have not been addressed and the dealership is price gouging customers for the fix.
The door latch mechanisms are all faulty. I have read in many forums where this is a common issue with Hyundai models. The door latch on the back passenger door will not operate from inside or outside. The other three doors must be pulled on repeatedly in order to gain access. This creates a very dangerous situation of entrapment if there car were to catch fire or be in an accident. It’s almost impossible to get into the car from any door. The issue isn’t a locking issue either, doors will eventually open after repeated attempts.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, the transmission started slipping while accelerating. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System). The contact called an independent mechanic who provided a printout of a recall. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 108,000.
I reported the vehicle to Dealer for above oil consumption, which they confirmed with service check of oil level. Vehicle often stammered and failed to accelerate upon purchase. This vehicle stammered and Engine began to smoke. Vehicle could started first, turned unit off. Vehicle is being towed to shop for diagnostic results.
The front passenger window regulator failed in Jan 2025. Before the complete fail, the power window was becoming sluggish when lowered/raised. I just paid $1,000 to have the dealer repair. I have seen dozens of online items regarding the identical issue. I consider it a safety issue because of easy entry to the vehicle interior and contents, including inclement weather that can damage interior electrical components
The exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly have cracked, causing exhaust gases—including carbon monoxide—to leak into the cabin. This issue was confirmed by diagnostic testing at Burns Hyundai. The defective component is still installed on the vehicle and has been inspected upon request, costing me over $200 without any suggested reimbursement after I already told them the problem before testing. The cracked exhaust manifold allows carbon monoxide to enter the vehicle’s interior, posing a serious risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to both the driver and passengers. Additionally, the vehicle’s engine performance has been negatively affected, which could lead to unexpected failures while driving. Yes. Burns Hyundai conducted diagnostic testing and confirmed the issue, identifying cracks in both the exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly. Despite this confirmation, Hyundai corporate has refused to cover the repair under warranty. The vehicle has been inspected and diagnosed by a Hyundai dealership service center (Burns Hyundai), and the issue has been reported to Hyundai corporate for review. No inspections have been conducted by law enforcement or insurance representatives at this time. Yes. Prior to the diagnosis, I experienced engine performance issues, including reduced power and inefficiencies, which I reported to Burlington Hyundai in 2021, when the vehicle was still under warranty. At that time, the exact cause was not properly addressed. The problem has since worsened, leading to the recent discovery of the cracked manifold. No specific dashboard warning lights were illuminated for this issue.
Vehicle has shown signs of engine failure for the past two years, all indicating impending need for engine replacement in alignment with engine recall that was issued for vehicle (customer case # [XXX]). Vehicle has been seen for diagnostics related to this problem where both Hyundai in Fredericksburg as well as Springfield Virginia confirmed that the engine was failing. Both dealerships refused to service car (which was under full warranty) because they were prioritizing cars who had already experienced full engine failure. Dealership advised that they could do nothing per the manufacturer until the vehicle experienced full engine failure. They acknowledged that it was a safety risk to myself, passengers & other drivers. The engine has now completely failed, leaving me stranded on [XXX] in the cold winter months & having to pay to have the vehicle towed. It is apparent from my service history report that I took all due diligence in attempting to have Hyundai attend to the engine of this vehicle while under warranty and they flat out refused, citing multiple different reasons. I am requesting a safety inspector come to investigate both the dealerships, the service report history, and the vehicle itself. My legal team is at this point just waiting for me to be offered engine replacement (out of pocket per Hyundai) and once that transaction is complete we are fully prepared to file suit for negligence.

The teeth within a spool in the window regulator easily strip out leaving the window unable to be opened or closed. This has happened on three out of four windows on my vehicle.
The front passenger and rear window regulators failed within 1 month of each other without any warning or symptoms. After inspection, it was identified that the plastic window regulator was completely shattered within the door. There was no damage to my vehicle that could have caused this. With the window regulator not working, my windows were not able to be opened or closed. The front window regulator actually got stuck in a down position. After some additional research online, I found several others who have had the same issues with the window regulators on their 2016 Hyundai Tucsons. This is a safety hazard because if I were ever be in an accident or a place where I need to exit through my windows and they are unable to go up and down for a safe exit. I have spent over $1600 in repairs to fix an issue that is clearly a defective part in the windows.
Rear passenger door won’t open from inside or outside. Safety concern
The windows do not roll up or down. This will jeopardize my safety because my vehicle would prevent me from being able from escaping through the window in an emergency. Or a person that means me harm can pull down my window climb in and pull it back up and hide in my car till I return because I am unable to secure my vehile. The problem is common, we were told that hyundai tucsons often have a window issue. I origanly had one windoe with this issue and now 3 out of 4 windows can not automatically roll up or down. It has not been inspected yet. There were no indication prior that this would happen.
All my doors stick and sometimes I have to fight with my car to even get a door open. Also, when trying to accelerate sometimes my throttle response is slow and i will not move for a few seconds.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The airbag system, brake system, and HVAC system (air conditioning and heating) appear to have malfunctioned. A dealer confirmed that the HVAC system is defective, identifying a broken evaporator assembly and a faulty temperature door actuator. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The airbag safety light raises concerns about whether the airbags will deploy during an accident. The brake light error creates uncertainty about the reliability of the brake system. Additionally, the defective HVAC system is a significant safety hazard. The heater’s failure prevents the windshield from defogging, impairing visibility, particularly in cold or wet weather. This poses a serious risk while driving, especially in freezing temperatures. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the HVAC system defect has been confirmed by a dealer, who provided images and recommended replacing the evaporator assembly and temperature door actuator. Independent mechanics have also observed the airbag and brake light errors but were unable to identify the underlying causes. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle has been inspected by independent mechanics and one dealership but has not been evaluated by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The airbag safety light and brake light errors have been present since I acquired the vehicle. The HVAC system began failing intermittently shortly thereafter, with the issue worsening over time.These unresolved issues continue to jeopardize the safety and reliability of the vehicle
On [XXX], I purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Sport, at the Landover-Jaguar South Hills dealer in Canonsburg, PA. On [XXX] the “check engine” light came on. Since I was 2 hours from home, I purchased a code reader to assess the issue. It read “A P0420 code”. I researched potential reasons for this code but returned the car to the dealer who performed additional checks and gave the car a “clean bill of health”. On [XXX], I was driving home from about 16 miles away and lost power. A slew of dash lights came on, and I was forced to pull over. I smelled something burning. As I stopped, the smoke from the engine became apparent. The car right behind me pulled up and asked if I knew my car was on fire. Another bystander pulled over and extinguished the fire in my engine. This happened on one of the busier roads in the area and if the vehicle exploded it could have been much worse for all of us. This vehicle is currently sitting at Bowser Hyundai in Pittsburgh and is available for inspection. This engine fire and fail is not a maintenance issue but is clearly a result of a manufacture issue.

Over the last 5-6 years, the 2016 Tucson has experienced an acceleration issue. When making a turn after a stop, the car will not accelerate above 30 mph. The RPMs will go up to 3000-4000, but the car will not go above 30 miles per hour. This has happened 5 times. I have had my mechanic look at the car, but because it was intermittent, they could not determine the cause. The fuel pump as well as the purge solenoid have been replaced on the car. If I turn the car off and let it sit for a few minutes, the issue seems to resolve. Only once has the check engine light gone on. Because the car will not accelerate this is causing a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. There was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 139,994.
There is a lot of oil consumption, and the turbo is shot. It sits in the back of the engine, which is not collecting air.
I’m the original owner of a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with 72,000 miles. I’ve recently encountered an issue where the front passenger side window is stuck down and won’t move. I’ve had it diagnosed at the dealership and found that this seems to be a common issue with this model year, related to the window regulator. I understand my vehicle is slightly out of the 5-year/60,000-mile warranty, however; this issue has made my car vulnerable to weather damage and theft, and it’s affecting my ability to use it safely. I’ve always maintained my vehicle according to Hyundai’s recommendations, and I believe this failure is premature for a part like this.
9/11/24 the 2016 Hyundai Tucson had a knock in the engine, the car was towed to beaverton Hyundai for inspection and I was told that it was Rod Bearing failure that caused engine failure and that this was a known issue for Hyundais Theta II engines and it would be $18k repair. Hyundai just settled a billion dollar class action lawsuit for rod bearing failure where check engine and oil lights failed to illuminate. I asked for a PA to be submitted to Hyundai motors America, as suggested by my usual shop Dick’s Hillsboro Hyundai(whom didn’t have availability soon enough). The PA was denied stating “this is normal wear for a vehicle at 70k miles and it’s out of warranty.” This repair is not a cause my the consumer, but by a manufacturer defect. And I should not be expected to replace the engine at $15k after paying $20k 3 years ago when I bought the car. Hyundai is being negligent.
My windows stopped operating. Both front driver and passenger. The motor runs but I am unable to roll up or down. According to what I’ve read, I am not alone. I worry for our safety and that of my family.
Three weeks ago my dash board lit up like an orange Christmas Tree, with "ABS failure" warnings. I found the Hyundai recall notice in our car file. It said that when the dash warnings appeared, the danger of an engine fire was imminent and that should contact the Dealer that I bought the car from (Hyundai Motors- Naples, Florida-USA). I did so. personally. An appt. was scheduled. This morning (Fri. 11/15/24)upon arrival, a pleasant young woman informed me that Hyundai sent out lots of notices like this, but they didn't apply to my vehicle. I showed her the recall notice with my car's Vin number printed on it. She went back to her boss who told her "We fixed that for him three years ago," Now, I am not certain of anything, but I NEVER brought the car in for an ABS system fix three years ago. I didn't know that I even had an "ABS" system until three weeks back, when the dash board lit up. Politely, I asked the young woman to bring my car back out, as we were done. She offered to make another appointment to "look" at the dash indicators." I said" No, we are done." So, now what do I do? Is the car safe to drive or not? I own and operate an older Hyundai Santa Fe as well. I would be appreciative of your advice. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. The Tucson is a good car. I just don't want it to blow up on me. [XXX] , Florida-USA INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
The driver's side rear door cannot be opened from either inside or outside. In researching the problem, I found evidence that the issue is commonly reported with the Model 2016 Hyundai Tucson, which I own. Many other owners have reported that their vehicles have experienced the same issue. Mechanics have also expressed curiosity about why there hasn't been a factory recall. The problem is a design issue in some model years, including the 2016 model year. Inability to access the back seats from the driver's side is an obvious safety concern.
Front passenger door won’t open Defroster/heat won’t work on drivers side
While stopped at a traffic light trying to make a left turn. I pressed the gas pedal and I did not move. The engine revved up then kicked into second gear. The delay in shifting gears almost caused a crash. This has been an ongoing issue since I purchased the vehicle and surprisingly has not caused an accident yet. It always seems to happen when I am waiting to make a left turn, stopped at a traffic light or stopped at a stop sign. There has to be a underlying issue with this type of engine. I am not the only one that complains about this issue. I feel like it is only a matter of time until this causes an accident. I do anticipate this happening while I am driving and try to give myself enough time when making a left turn for a slight delay in shifting into first gear.
I went to roll up my window and I could hear it trying to go up but the window stayed in place. With my window stuck down, there is the risk of things flying in/out of my car while driving, and in the event of rain, my car would then become damaged if water got inside. Also, with a window stuck down, anyone can get into my car. This first occurred to my front passenger window on September 8, and just happened to my drivers window today, November 1. Both times occurred when my car was not moving. The passenger window was fixed in October and was diagnosed with the regulator and motor needing to be replaced.
When accelerating, like taking off from a red light or through a turn, my car begins to shake like it’s unable to change gears correctly, and sometimes leads to the car stalling in the middle of the street and intersection putting my in danger of being hit from other drivers. It’s also happened that when I press the gas after being stopped at a light, my car RPM goes up but I don’t move and then the car jolts forward quickly. This has been happening for years and when I take it to Hyundai they tell me “that’s just how the car runs” which seems incredibly unsafe.
Left driver side window conked out, does not go up or down.
There two incidents where I was driving in the highway and my car died mid driving. It put my life on risk twice. Took it to the mechanic and was told that my car was leaking oil and caused my car to have an engine misfire. My car is un drivable. There were no engine or oil lights that appeared prior to the incident and I always got my regular oil changes and had put in more oil myself. Hyundai refused to pay to the engine replacement even through this is a known issue. I’ve only had the car for two years and it’s under 100k miles.
Purchased a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson, approx. 79,000 miles. A few weeks later I noticed a rattling in the steering column when driving over railroad tracks, rough roads, etc. When sitting stationary, I could rock the steering wheel back and forth and got a clunking sound. Took to the dealership, they wanted $250 just to diagnose. Did my own investigating. With the car turned on I would hold the steering wheel with one hand and hold the steering shaft with the other and work them in opposite directions. This replicated the clunking and knocking noise I would hear while driving. I determined it was a faulty upper pinch bolt. Replaced the bold and all noise went away. Fast forward a few months later and the sound returned. Slightly at first, then the sound became very pronounced again. Tightened pinch bolt again, went away. Seems to either be a problem with the shaft itself or the upper pinch bolt. Either way, my fear is the steering shaft is going to loosen and fall off of the steering column resulting in a loss of steering and potential accident. Hyundai dealership seems to act clueless about issue.
Purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tucson with approx. 79,000. Was driving with all windows down one day. From the driver side window switch panel, I attempted to roll up the rear, left window.. The window would not roll up. The window rolls down when using the driver’s window switches for the left, rear window, but will not roll up. The rear left window switch will operate the window up and down only. Discovered this problem when going through a drive through car wash and the window would not roll up. Needless to say, the interior of my car got a good cleaning that day.
I bought my 2016 Tuscon brand new. Ever since I bought the vehicle, I've complained to the dealer about the transmission slipping. They have told me that this issue is common but there is nothing they can do. Now it seems to be getting worse so I decided to look up the problem and found out a recall notice was issued for some 2016 Tuscons but mine wasn't included. My Tuscon has the exact same problem as described in the recall issued by Hyundai. I"ve almost been in accidents because you press on the gas to go and it hesitates,l. What can I do?

3 of my window motors do not work and my windows now will not roll up or down.
Passenger window regulator went out, then my window and my back passenger window went out and now I have 2 windows that cannot stay up and have paper holding them up.
Driver side door window stopped working. Not able to close or operate window. Hyundai dealer diagnostic found window regulator inoperable/needs replacement. Two (2) local Hyundai dealers have ordered the regulator and are still waiting for part. Dealer one not able to get regulator after 18 days; Dealer two hoping part will be in after 10 days of ordering.
In December 2023 I purchased my first car, a 2016 Hyundai Tucsan Limited Edition. The car had approx. 70k miles. After only 9 months, I noticed I was unable to gain access into the rear passenger side door. I quickly ruled out child locks, faulty fuses, and any other issues as directed in the owners manual. The window is still functional. As of today, 10/10/24 Ive had no luck being able to open the door. The mechanic stated it was an issue with the locking mechanism and quoted us for over $1400/$4000. He stated this is a common occurrence with this model. I find this issue with my newly purchased car, that I keep serviced and in perfect condition to be unacceptable. It is a major safety issue for me and my family. I am in school and work full time and I can not afford this type of repair. This type of issue should be recalled.
This is the 2nd window regulator that I’m aware of this car is failing. 3 months ago before buying the car from the dealer they replace the rear passenger side regulator because the window won’t roll down or up. Now 2 weeks ago the front passenger side window stop working and I’m afraid that is the same situation as so many people compliant about this issue on forums and videos online. Also I used to have a 2010 hyundai Tucson and have a problem with the rear passenger door not opening because the latch mechanism and the actuator. Now this 2016 Hyundai Tucson under this VIN number is experiencing the same problem due to a faulty design and cheap plastic products. This car has only over 61000 and can’t believe it have this many issues in the short amount of time. Definitely Hyundai needs to make a recall campaign for this components considering they’re key elements to an egress means of the car on emergency situation. Please help us so many owners to get a response for these issues. Thank you very much.

Random engine failure. Our safety was put at risk because our car randomly stopped working while going 70 miles per hour on the interstate. The problem was confirmed by an independent service center. The vehicle has been inspected by an independent service center. Our check engine light came on and within 10 minutes our car was completely broke down on the side of the road.
Ongoing engine problems with an oil consumption issue for the duration of first having the car (2021-2024). That is common with this year of Hyundai. Hyundai Dealership won’t replace engine until warranty is up and you are left with a car that doesn’t run and a quote for a $14k engine.
I had multiple occasions where the car would blink lates and make screaming noises when acceleration. The vehicle never had a smooth process of stopping and going. When stopped at a light, you could press the acceleration and it idle or not speed up than rev the RMPs and start to catch speed. It was very unsafe, I tried several attempts years ago at getting the vehicle maintenanced but only got rotors repaired from shaking and two other shops stating it was a recall and they could not service or fix the vehicle.
I had my top engine block (not sure why not a full engine replacement) replaced under warranty June 2023. Shortly after the fix my AC unit stopped working. Once I got my AC unit fixed, about 1.5 months after my engine was not performing. My car would not turn over and when it did, it was in limp mode and would not run properly. I had it towed to dealership who could not find the issue until after they took out of the bay and went to move it, it wouldn't start. They replaced the crankshaft positioning sensor and it wasn't covered under the extended warranty. The top engine block only has 10k warranty which is fast approaching. Took car home and when accelerated past 60 car shakes and when i brake car shakes. Now car cabin smells of gas. All cars with KM are having multiple issues. Dealership not calling back regarding gas issue and has not responded to if they touched my tires. Local Mechanic said all my wheels were unbalanced.
The vehicle hesitates sometimes starting from stop/idle and sometimes even when the gas paddle is completely pressed it doesn’t proceed and stalls in middle of road or red light and may take more attempts to get it to move further. I read online that there was a safety recall on this same model in 2016 for this exact same problem but I never received recall on my vehicle from Hyundai.
The window regular failed is to weak don't last long Have replaced all 4 and replacing the back one again
Rear doors not opening regardless of door latch being engaged from the inside or outside handles. Due to being unable to open the rear doors, safety of rear passengers in non-emergency and emergency situations is significantly compromised. A formal recall has not been issued, yet in doing a quick internet search, this issue has been prevalent for years, which is very concerning.

NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND NO LOW OIL LIGHT CAME ON. -CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION AT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. -MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO HELP SINCE NO RECALL LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE AND SINCE OUTSIDE WARRANTY PERIOD, THOUGH ALMOST ALL OTHER ENGINE MODELS FOR MY VEHICLE HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME DIAGNOSIS (ROD BEARING FAILURE). -NO WARNING LAMPS WHATSOEVER TO NOTIFY ME OF ANYTHING BEING WRONG-BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER MY CAR LOST ACCELERATION.
All four window regulators have failed. The plastic gear has totally disintegrated and has had to be replaced. I have noticed that this has been reported by customers numerous times. I hope that we may be reimbursed for the failure of the part since it is very, very common among these models. I have retained all receipts for parts and labor.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked at the residence, the rear doors on the driver’s and passenger’s sides were not opening as needed after several attempts of locking and unlocking the doors. The vehicle was not towed to a dealer or independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 25,000.
The car door handles are failing to work properly. Initially (June 2024), the passenger side front door required the handle to be pumped twice before it would open. The door would open correctly from the inside only. That problem was corrected. Now (Aug 2024), the driver side rear door handle has failed and the door cannot be opened from the outside or inside. The precise nature of that issue will be determined tomorrow. In June, I was told by the service advisor at Jenkins Hyundai of Ocala [Florida] that Hyundai is aware of an issue with the functioning of door handles (i.e., the actuator) and has extended the warranty from five to ten years for this issue. I my judgment, this is a major safety issue if a door cannot be opened.
loss of power, transmission slipping. unable to get car to move creating hazard. happened 5 times. Diagnosed by dealer as systemic transmission component failure and known issue. many of the same complaints on internet, Code p1921
Front passenger regulator went out. 1 month later rear passenger and driver rear regulator went out. Currently only have 1 potenworking window with a child under the age of 18 that riders in this vehicle a primary vehicle. Extremely unsafe if there was an emergecy.. Seeing others online having same issue.
Driver window won’t go up & front passenger window won’t go down.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that there was a knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. The contact stated that the low oil and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle had been taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the engine oil had been totally consumed. The contact was made aware of coolant intrusion into the engine and that the pistons were misfiring. The mechanic stated that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the Extended Warranty on the vehicle did not cover excessive oil consumption. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was 65,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact depressed the accelerator pedal and the vehicle lunged forward. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated that when the vehicle was stopped, after depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle hesitated and then lunged forward. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System); however, the VIN was not included. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds the vehicle would begin sputtering and the transmission would begin slipping. The transmission would also slip when attempting to accelerate after being parked or idle. There were no warning lights. While driving approximately 45 MPH the vehicle suddenly began going in reverse. The contact immediately placed the vehicle in park to turn off the vehicle. After restarting the vehicle the contact attempted to drive it but failed to accelerate. The vehicle was only able to be driven in reverse. The contact reversed into the nearest parking lot. The vehicle was towed to a certified mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission failed. The transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
Vehicle started to shake and lost acceleration. Gave engine Code P073F Unable to engage gear 1. Hyundai shows Recall Campaign for this issue but dealer refuses to acknowledge it, and says it needs new transmission. They state transmission damaged clutch rather than clutch damaged transmission.
•Window regulator •Stops windows movement •Our independent service provider •No •No
• temperature regulator stopped working •couldn’t use A/C in very hot months, couldn’t use heat in very cold months putting risk of freezing and overheating • independent service •No •No
Have had to replace the regulator in all four windows. Seems to be a pretty common problem online. Reporting this so hopefully enough people say something that Hyundai has a recall and reimburses us for the repairs. Thanks
I was driving in the main road with my grandkids and the vehicle just shut down . I bought it in November of 2023. I brought it back to carmax because it was hesitating and not acting properly and it was within my 90 day warranty and they said nothing was wrong . Motor seized and turbo no good a few months later and I owe 19000 on this car and they refuse to replace the motor since I’m second owner without a warranty they were suppose to give me . I had to get people to push my car to the side and wait 2 hours for a tow and now the garage says it’s 10-11000for a motor . Carmax just said they would pay for labor charges but that still leaves me with a hefty bill on top of what I owe . I told them to just take the car and give me another or pay for the motor and they refuse . My cars now sitting at my house because I can’t afford a motor . It’s a 1.6L motor with turbo . That price is a used motor :(
At certain times my car doesn’t want to start. Like when there were carburetors in cars way back in the day, I literally have to pump the gas to make it start. And then once it does, it’s very hesitant to go on the road like it has no power. And then another time my car totally just shut down in the middle of traffic and would barely go, like it had no speed ability. This happens often my car is not under warranty. And it is not included in the recall with some kind of fuel pump situation. I had a mechanic look at it. He seems to think it’s something to do with the fuel pump. But unfortunately, I cannot afford the cost of repairing that, and he didn’t seem quite certain as well.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I have had both front windows Regulators break within the past year. I had the drivers side repaired but, was hoping there would be a recall before I spent $800 to repair the other one. But Hyundai should own up to this issue and have a recall, If they want return customers. Time to step up Hyundai
The driver's side back door will not open from the inside or outside. There was no warning or damage down to cause this, just one day it would not open. From research on the internet this is a common problem with a 2016 Tucson and is due from the lock actuator and is not being recalled. This is a huge safety risk if someone needed to exit the backseat quickly.
The vehicle intermittently fails to accelerate without warning or notification. The throttle pedal goes to the floor without the engine stalling or rev'ing but also fails to propel the vehicle. This has occurred when crossing lanes of on-coming traffic placing the operator in an EXTREMELY DANGEROUS situation. In addition, the vehicle also intermittently fails to go in reverse. These issues are most prevailant in warmer summer temperatures. Neither of these issues directly triggered a MIL light. MIL lights did occur independent from the cited issues but would typically self clear. On one occasion I was able to get a scan of the vehicle with an active MIL that yielded a P1921 Gear 2 System Motor Thermal Damage. Shortly after the scan, the code cleared and MIL went off. The conditions were NOT able to be reproduced by the dealership. They were also not able to clearly diagnose what would cause the P1921 fault. Their recommendation was to replace the entire transmission. ALL of the issues experience closely align with a issues cited in a class action law suit despite the vehicle not having any open recalls or TSBs.
I own a 2016 Hyundai Tucson and have noticed that NONE of the doors other than the driver door will open either from the inside or outside. I have small children that I drive to and from school, activities. If we were to get into a wreck or were to run off rode into a body of water my children could drown or die due to doors not opening. This seems to be a very common issue with Hyundai and needs to be addressed and recalled and fixed by dealership immediately!
Oil consumption is excessive it has caused the engine to have a knocking noise even though routine oil changes have been up to date. Yes available for inspection. This may cause the engine to seize at any given point while in motion. No, I have not been able to take the vehicle to a dealership yet. No, vehicle has not been inspected. No, no check engine/warning light has turned on. Knocking noise began June 28th 2024.
The car started making noises. There were no warning lights and we drove to the Hyundai dealership in South Charleston, WV, where we were told it needs a new engine. The car is under warranty and Hyundai has denied the claim. Luckily we made it to the dealership before the car stopped. We had no indication there was a problem. We were traveling from out of state when this happened. An engine should not suddenly die with no warning. We have all the maintenance records.
Passenger door lock-right rear door will not unlock from outside or inside
Pronounced rattle from the steering column (not the wheel) when going over a rough surface. Vehicle has only 49,000 miles on it. Hyundai dealer checked and determined the rattle was not a safety issue and said a small plastic piece in the steering mechanism had broken and quoted a repair cost of over $1,000. I do not believe the dealership's diagnosis, nor its' safety assessment and believe they are simply avoiding a repair that should be covered under the vehicle's soon to expire warranty!
Three of the four windows will not roll up and down.
I can not get my rear left passenger door to open from either inside or outside.
The driver and driver passenger doors get stuck and will not open after you lock them so I cleave to climb over the passenger to lock the door or I have to keep the windows down to be able to unlock and open the door the door latches are getting stuck I went to Hyundai in Little Rock the said I was covered under warranty and they never fixed it nor called me to tell me the part came in and it’s ready to be fixed this is a major safety hazard because I could be in a dark place or running from someone and can’t get inside the car or have access inside the driver side to do anything
Rear doors will not open from inside or outside. This traps passengers if they are in the back seats. Back seats can only be accessed by climbing in from the front seats
Ever since I bought my vehicle off the lot, my oil has been burning and/or leaking from the engine. I have been having to put oil in every 2-3 weeks. Also as a result of the oil problem, the oil gets on the spark plugs and coils and erodes them causing them to burn out every 6 months. The first instance I had with this problem was on a road trip to Texas from Tennessee alone. All four spark plugs began faltering on the highway where the speed limit was 75mph, easily a dangerous situation for a malfunctioning engine. I had to pay to repair my vehicle the next day and it totaled to a little under $600. I have been checking for recalls on my specific vehicle for months but have seen none, despite there being similar recalls on other Hyundai vehicles. The electrical problem I’ve been experiencing is the windows start falling in to the doors or don’t roll down at all. Currently I have three windows with this problem, one of which I have had repaired.
The passenger door window rolled down but would not come back up. I was able to grab the window and pull it up. This is a safety issue because anyone can just push the window down. Not too mention if an officer needed you to roll down the window you could not.
Internal engine failure; no compression cylinder. My vehicle was affected by the Tucson Dual Clutch Transmission Reprogramming recall. In higher ambient temperatures and specific operating conditions, the transmission clutch application logic can result in a delayed engagement when accelerating from a stop, and the vehicle would not accelerate. Inability to move the vehicle in traffic. The car is well maintained and in excellent shape. They estimated the cost to replace the engine at $14,000! and Hyundai Dealer Larry Miller denied any help with the repair cost.
Right front window will not go up Regulator bad
Both rear doors will not open from inside or outside. This began 3 years ago, with intermittent opening issues. For the last six months, neither rear door will open from inside, or outside. With the THOUSANDS of complaints I have seen online, one would THINK our GOVERNMENT would DO SOMETHING!!!
Drivers side rear passenger door will not open most times. In an emergency situation a rear passenger would not be able to exit.
I have three doors on my Tucson affected. Back passenger door will not open at all from the inside or outside. The driver’s will open if I lock and unlock three or four times and pull the handle three or four times. The back drivers door is now doing the same thing as the drivers door. I have looked into the cost of having it repaired and Hyundai wants over $1500 per door to fix the issue. If I pay the close to $5000 to fix these doors, which I most definitely don’t have and don’t know anybody who does, I will have paid more than half the value of the car just to fix the doors. I’ve looked online and there are hundreds and thousands of people having the same problem - multiple years of Tucson models and other Hyundai models such as the ELANTRA. My car only has 62,000 miles on it. It has only had two owners. In the six years that I have owned the car I have only had people in the backseat three or four times. This is definitely not a wear problem. It is most definitely a safety issue. If I am in an accident and unconscious and the emergency workers can’t get the door open to get to me, it’s a safety issue. If I’m in an accident and can’t get the door open to escape the car, it is a safety issue. If I am going to my car late at night by myself and can’t get into the car it’s a safety issue. I am divorced and live alone, and drive across country occasionally. If I’m stopped at a rest stop or gas station and can’t get into my car this is a safety issue. If there are children in the backseat of the car and the door can’t be opened to get to the children this is a safety issue. The back passenger door stopped working entirely about 6 to 8 months ago - it can’t be opened from the inside or outside at all. The driver’s door started having issues about 3 to 4 months ago. The back drivers door just started having the issue three days ago. I do not understand why a safety recall has not yet been issued for this problem considering the huge number of affected cars out there.
Engine is being replaced due to excessive oil consumption. First sign was engine knocking in November 2022, which resolved with oil change. July 2023, engine knocking was heard again, Hyundai dealer said car came in with no oil. Had oil changed / filled, was advised to bring car back in 1000 miles. December 2023, brought car back to dealer after ~1000 miles, no knocking but oil was 2 quarts below spec. Ladder frame was resealed and ladder frame o-ring replaced. Oil was refilled, oil pan and oil dip stick both sealed for oil consumption test. Feb 2024, car brought back to dealer after ~1000 miles, no knocking but oil was 1.8 quarts low. Combustion chamber cleaning was performed and oil refilled. Oil pan and oil dip stick both sealed for another oil consumption test. Early May 2024, car brought back to dealer after ~1000 miles, oil still apparently quite low (no details provided by dealer). Engine replacement approved by Hyundai corporate in mid-May 2024.
I was driving to work Tuesday and noticed that my car wasn't accelerating and losing speed, pulled over and as soon as I came to a stop, it dies. I got it towed to my mechanic, they said I was out of oil and throwing a p1326 code for the ksds. I'm not sure how that is possible, cause I changed the oil a month prior on April 6, this happened May 7. Mechanic put more oil in and I was taking it home. I noticed a funny noise and took it back to my mechanic; got there and it started knocking and cut off as soon as I stopped again. Mechanic did another diagnostic and it threw the code again. Got it towed to the dealership and I'm now waiting on them. Apparently it's the engine, they have been having lots of issues with them.
The car did not accelerate after pressing gas pedal all way down. Encountered this while idling and trying to accelerate from a steady speed as well.
When driving All the warning light is on. Also when you reduce speed or stop at the light the steering wheel turn hard to turn or move. The battery seem to be low voltage, because when you lock the car the sound of the horn sound weak. And wouldn't start.
There is no power when accelerating, especially up a hill. The rpm's hover over 4k for a long time before downshifting, hence, eating up gas like crazy. Also, the passenger side back door does not open at all, the driver's side back door takes several pulls before opening, the driver's door takes 3 pulls to open, and the front passenger door takes a minimum of three pulls to open. The no power just recently started happening. The door issue started in late 2023 and has gotten progressively worse just recently.
My rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. My front passenger door has difficulties opening, I have to try to handle a few times. The front passenger door has been since I purchased the vehicle in 2022 but the rear passenger vehicle just started 5/2/24. The alternator has already been replaced as of 2022 and the front passenger motor has already been replaced as of April 2024 because the window stopped going up. And all of these have been at my expense!! I have read owner blogs that have all of these same issues. This is a HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. What if there is an emergency and I can't get my child safely out of his car seat? These issues, especially the door actuators, needs to be a recall and fixed immediately at no expense to the owners.
The back door latch does not unlock so neither back passanger doors will open at all. If something were to happen where we need to evacuate quickly this puts people in the back at a huge risk. I have taken it to get repaired and they want at least $250 for each door. There were no warnings one day the door just stopped opening and then the other stopped. It’s been over a year now. There are multiple videos on youtube on how to “fix” it for this specific vehicle so I don’t understand how this hasn’t been recalled already.
My 2016 Hyundai Tucson has been experiencing sudden engine failures for about 10 months now. Driving at 70 mph on a freeway and experiencing a loss of torque is terrifying. Glad I was able to pull off safely. Engine lights came on for a few seconds and then turned off. Visit to the dealer showed... nothing. The engine is under warranty, but Hyundai dealers continue to dismiss the issue. Also, this engine has been excessively burning oil during the very same timeframe. There are no leaks - confirmed by Hyundai dealers. I have to put in about a quarter every other 2-3 weeks. Hadn't I done this, my vehicle would not make it to the next oil change. Really frustrating! Reading thru complaints to NTHSA, there a lot of us facing the same issues, with faulty engines and excessive oil consumption. This must be investigated, and a recall notice settled. Hyundai must be held accountable.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. So far I had to have both the front driver side and passenger side window regulators replaced. I just recently noticed that both of my back windows do not work. I currently have an appointment with the Hyundai dealer to replace both of the back window regulators. I drive around with a piece of duck tape holding the back windows up. Hyundai has to know that this is a problem. Hyundai requires an anti theft recall but it’s useless as anyone can pull my windows down by force due to broken regulator in each door. Insanely ridiculous and unsafe.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on multiple occasions while driving at various speeds, the four windows rolled down independently. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the front driver’s side window was replaced; however, the three remaining windows failed to operate as needed. Recently, the rear passenger’s side window was locked in place by a mechanic to prevent the persistent failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not under recall or warranty. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
The driver side door will no longer open from the outside. I have to crawl through the passenger side to open the door from the inside. According to a Google search, this is a common issue with this car.
My 2016 Hyundai Tucson has had power and acceleration issues since I purchased it brand new in 2016 from the dealership. When trying to accelerate onto the freeway, or trying to turn onto busy traffic the engine would rev but not pick up speed causing a dangerous situation when traffic is present. I have had all the updates to my vehicle, but the issue did not improve. At first I thought it had something to do with the transmission, but recently I have discovered that it was probably something wrong with the engine all this time. I currently have 111,070 miles on my vehicle, and I have kept up with routine maintenance. I had noticed in the last couple of years that my engine oil was burning at an extremely high rate, and I had to keep replenishing it between oil changes. I never saw any oil leaking on the ground though. About a month ago while I was entering a freeway, my check engine light started flashing and I could not accelerate. The vehicle’s engine started misfiring and the vehicle was having a hard time switching gears. Fortunately it was early in the morning before rush hour traffic otherwise I would have been hit by oncoming traffic. I had the codes read and they came back as P0300, P0302, and P0304. I had already had the spark plugs replaced less than 10,000 miles prior to this, so we tried changing the ignition coils. That did not help, so we changed the spark plugs too. This still did not solve the problem. A mechanic ran a compression test and determined there is a problem with the engine. I have read numerous other complaints online now about similar issues with the 2016 Hyundai Tucson engine failure with less than 150,000 miles that put people in harms way while driving down the road. The engine failure is occurring even with regular maintenance.
The driver side door fails to open from the outside. I'm not sure if it is available for inspection, as I've tried to contact the Hyundai dealership I got it from, and they haven't gotten back to me. This is a safety issue because it causes me to have to walk around to the passenger side door and either climb over, or reach over and partially open the driver door then get back out and walk over to the other side again. I live in a big city and as a woman I don't always feel safe having to take extra time to get into my vehicle. It's also a safety issue because if something goes wrong, someone can't open the door to get to me. A dealer friend of a friend looked at the door and confirmed something is wrong with the latch cable, and also said that it would cost up to $1500 to repair. This is the only person who has inspected it so far. It looks like I'm not the only person who has had door issues with Tuscons which is why I'm here. There was no warning at all. I drove the vehicle to work with no incident and then when I left work I found I could not open the door anymore even after locking and unlocking a few times. This was back at the beginning of March 2024.
Hi, I am an owner of 4 Hyundai vehicles and all had the steering wheel coupler failed before 100,000 miles. 2 sonata and 1 Elantra coupler was replaced under the 100,000 miles extended warranty but my 2016 Tucson with 80,000 miles is not covered. All Hyundai and Kia vehicles have this problem. Why only some models are covered and not others? The problem is the same across the board. I think Hyundai should be compel to honor repairs on all models for this common steering wheel coupler problem and not on selected model.
My car randomly will not reverse; it's happened a few times, I was alone or with my 5 year old the first time, and next couple of times I've had witnesses (husband and a friend) and this last time I was alone but I took a video. Sometimes my car feels like it has no power or like it's in the first gear struggling to make it past that (it's an automatic but that's the best way I can describe it). Three out of my four doors stick and I have to pull multiple times to get the door opened, even though it's unlocked. I find these issues, while not outright dangerous, can be a hassle especially when I'm in a parking lot trying to reverse into a spot or out of a spot. It's hard for my 8 year old to get in or out of the car cause her door sticks. I feel like when my car is driving sluggish, that I am going to get hit by another car.
I was driving home from work and heard knocking sound come from engine. No sensors came on to alert me of any problem. I pulled over and checked oil. There was no oil and it was not due for oil change for another 1,000 miles. Oil is always changed between 3-5K miles. Took it to Gettel Hyundai dealership where it was purchased. They are unable to explain what or why this happened. Took claim out with Hyundai as there is only 60K miles. Hyundai and dealership offered no help because warranty had ended. Just told me it needed a new engine for $8K. Hyundai corporate denied claim also citing lack of service. That is not a valid reason and makes no sense. We provided every paper receipt showing diligent oil changes and required mile maintenance. They never bothered to do an engine oil burning test. After researching this online there is a well-known problem with these engines burning oil. There was no oil leaking. Why did NO sensor alert me there was no oil? This seems like a major safety concern. Hyundai is refusing to take responsibility for this problem and needs to address this properly. This car engine should be recalled.
Window regulator is not working in all the Windows I spend more 1000 dolars just to fixed the front ones still waiting to have money to fix the back ones the parts are made from cheap material this should be a recall
This make an model has issues with the doors not opening, when they are unlocked and from time to time the windows will not open. These are both huge safety concerns. I have reported this to Hyundai and have a case number 2104500 which nothing has been done and I have heard nothing in over a year. This make and model need to be recalled for the door and window issues which are all over the internet when a search is done.
Vehicle transmission prolongs shifting from 1st to 2nd gear, and from 2nd to 3rd gear. Vehicle only has 55000 miles on it and we are second owners of the vehicle. This has been on ongoing issue with the vehicle that we attributed to design but a month ago, the check engine light came on. We took is the Ray Skillman Hyundai who diagnosed that the transmission was the cause of the check engine light and that the entire transmission will need to be replaced at a cost of a little over $7000 to us. The original warranty on the car offered a 10-year, 100,000 mile warranty but Ray Skillman Hyundai nor Hyundai Corporate will replace the transmission without charge. We also know of many other issues related to transmission components of other Hyundai vehicles. The vehicle puts at risk because the unexpected pause puts the drivers behind us at risk of running into us.
Driver side door latch won't open after unlocking with key fob. No warning from inside the car. Have not been to a dealer or independent service center so have not had any inspections. Not necessarily a safety issue at this point but could be in the future. As part of my work, I'm in and out of my car a lot so locking the car is necessary. I should not have to climb over the shift/middle console to unlock it. Should be part of a recall to fix.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that after the vehicle came to a complete stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lurched forward but hesitated to accelerate immediately. An unknown warning light illuminated, and the check engine warning light was later illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who retrieved DTC Code: P073F (Unable to Engage Gear 1), but no repair was recommended. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 93,000.
Loss of power while driving thru heavy traffic causing car to go into a low speed. No warning lights until after turning off and back on. Hyundai dealership confirms no compression cyl 3, metal shaving in engine block, oil full. Engine in car 1.6L GDI turbo, not under hyundai recall. Hyundai denying claim to replace because vin not included in recall but does admit engine is same as in other recalled engines for same issue. Losing power in heavy traffic with no warning was safety issue. Only light to come on was engine light after the fact.
Door locks no longer work. Passenger side failed and now (3 months later) drivers side failed. This prevents entry and exit in case of emergency. Rear doors function appropriately. When locking and unlocking the doors, the front two make a mechanical sound. When unlocked, they do not open.
I have joined the millions of disappointed Hyundai customers who have faulty engines in their cars. Hyundai is refusing to replace my engine or provide any assistance because there is no formal recall for my vehicle. In May of 2023, my engine failed after starting to have oil consumption issues and Hyundai diagnosed it as failure due to maintenance neglect. When I opened a case with Hyundai, I gave all maintenance records, including a January full-point inspection done by Hyundai, showing no engine issues or anything engine-related to be addressed. In follow up after providing the records, Hyundai determined it was actually not due to neglect of maintenance, but a dirty valve train, and therefore there was nothing they could do since I was out of my warranty period. However, when I asked how I was to know my valve train was dirty if all my inspections came back with no issues, I was told that it just happens and there is no way to prevent. I asked them to re-open my case and they again asked for maintenance records, the ones I already provided, to try and say again that it was maintenance related. I kept getting different stories from the case manager, the service manager at Cool Springs Hyundai, and the GM at Cool Springs Hyundai. I have since joined a group on Facebook with thousands of others encountering this same issue - random engine failure and case managers requesting maintenance records in the hopes Hyundai can find a way to blame it on the consumer. It’s no secret that Hyundai makes vehicles with faulty engines as seen by the multiple recalls over the past few years, including the recent one regarding engine fires affecting 3+ million customers. Hyundai needs to be held accountable. In research of my engine, the 1.6L GDI, I see that this engine is under recall for the Hyundai Veloster for the same exact issue that I have had, but for some reason that same engine in my vehicle has yet to be recalled. I plead for your assistance and resolving.
When both driving and idling, the car will either stall or feel like it is about to stall, when all of a sudden the vehicle “pauses” for a second and then all of the dashboard lights come on. This has now happened at least 4 times in the past month. It will reset after turning the car off, but on more than one occasion after turning the car off, the engine doesn’t restart right away. Thankfully, the car has restarted and it resets the dashboard lights. My safety is a concern if my car stalls while driving at any speed! I have yet to take it to the dealer, as there’s a VERY long wait for an appointment - another recurring issue. No one has inspected this for me, and it is very concerning. There is plenty of evidence that this is happening to others in both online forums and Hyundai owners sites online.
Engine was burning more oil between oil changes. Auto shop diagnosed engine as blown engine after scoping each valve. 126,000 miles
The engine in this vehicle is faulty like same engine in 2016 Hyundai Veloster. The recall that covers the engine in the Veloster shows identical engine failure to that seen in our vehicle. We noticed that the engine oil light came on within 3k miles of the last oil change and when we checked we had lost over 3 quarts of oil with no signs of external leaking. We put in more oil and within a week it started knocking and the engine failed. We took it to the shop and they said they had replaced multiple Hyundai engines under warranty for same exact problem. Reference Hyundai Campaign 22-01-023H. Hyundai is stating they are not going to fix this issue on the Hyundai Tucson because it doesn't fall under the recall yet though they know it has same issue. Our car has less than 90k miles with full synthetic used the entire time. This engine fails, they know why it fails, and ours did while my wife was taking kids to school.
While driving my car started to have trouble accelerating and then the engine started to make a knocking noise. While driving the noise started to get louder and worse and then the check engine light came on. I have checked for recalls with my vin # and there are none. The issue I am having with my vehicle is exactly like recalls I have seen listed for other years and or version of my 2016 Hyundai Tucson Turbo. I can not drive my car and I need help.
My 2016 Tucson Sport with Eco Shift has a dangerous problem with the transmission. Intermittently It will not move when I give it gas. The RPMS go up to 6000 but the car wont move. Its the DCT transmission. Today I took it in for the 3rd time and I don't want it back until its fixed. This is a very unsafe vehicle to drive since you would not know when it would just stop shifting and driving. Have registered a complaint with Hyundai Motors as the service department does not know when the vehicle will be repaired.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled. There was a rattling sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle then entered LIMP Mode. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The driver was able to drive to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine had seized due to rod bearing failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact there was no warranty coverage on the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact about an Extended Warranty coverage. The manufacturer was contacted and declined to authorize the repair. The contact stated that the failure was related to TSB Number: 22-01-023H-2 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
All 4 Windows will not roll up/ down. Using multiple quarts of oil a week. The heat doesn’t work. Back doors will not open.

My driver window stopped working in 2022, I paid to go get it fixed at an automotive place and then now as of 2023 all of the other 3 windows stopped working within a 2-4 month period. For all 3 windows to go randomly stop working within the 2-4 month period is the concern. I have mentioned this issue to my dealership and cooperate is also aware of the situation. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. No warning lamps, messages, or symptoms ever appeared anywhere, it just happened randomly and out of nowhere.
I had the vehicle towed to a mechanic when I was driving out of town and the check engine light came on. I pulled over and was able to get off the freeway and safely park. I called for a tow tuck. At the time the check engine light came on it started to stutter and act like it was out of gas or oil. I just had my oil changed few weeks ago and had plenty of gas. I could tell something wasn't right. When I found a safe place to pull over and park while I waited for the tow truck. I tried to start the engine and it would crank but quickly start shaking. I tried starting it up to see if I could make it to a church that was several yards away and when I tempted to it quickly started to shake and out of fear of getting stuck or hit I just let it stay put until the tow truck came. Once the tow truck arrived they were having a hard time getting it to start to get on the truck. I had it towed to a local mechanic and it stated that it failed the compression test and needs a engine repair. Since it needs a new engine I had it towed to the Hyundai dealership and after they performed there tests it came to the same conclusion. New engine. At this point, the dealership says it's not covered. The car has 89k miles. At this point I'm at the mercy of the dealership and honestly I just want out of this car and in a safe and reliable vehicle. I owe more than what's its worth. I feel like the moment I purchased this vehicle it was a lemon and had alot of issues arise that shouldn't
The engine sign keep blinking on the dashboard, I went to auto zone, they scan it and say that the power train system with code P1326 Glow relay short circuit is the problem. This would be the second time it comes on. The first time it came on but then stopped in a few days but it’s on back again.
The passenger side headlight compartment has condensation in it. Enough condensation so the headlights don't work. when I took it in for recall work I mentioned this as I thought that it might have possibly been a short or a loose wire, and they shared that no it's not wired it's just water in that enclosure and I need to pay for it myself to get it replaced to the tune of $1900 for the new part.. I've seen other complaints about the same problem. Why will Hyundai not fix this? I found something from Hyundai that states, do not replace!
The window regulator cables for all windows have failed multiple times, even after taking it to the dealership and paying to have this defect “fixed” they fail again. Now the only working window is the drivers and I cannot afford to have the other 3 fixed which is a safety hazard if an emergency were to happen. This is a manufacturer defect and there needs to be a recall done.
Left turn signal intermittently not working. Tapping briskly on the turn signal stalk would make it start back up again. Dealer could not reproduce the issue, so no repairs were made. Still happening 5+ years later.
Air conditioning compressor stopped working, it had 'seized' according to the dealer and had to be replaced at my expense since it was out of warranty.
Car shuddering going from full stop to 1st gear, not fixed by software update. Clutch replaced under drive train warranty at no cost to me.
Was unable to open front passenger side window using driver's side controls, but was able to close. No problem opening and closing the passenger window from the passenger's side controls. Was fixed by replacing the driver's side master window switch at my expense (no longer under warranty).
Right front door (passenger) will not open when using the outside handle. Passenger front door latch replaced under technical bulletin / silent recall at no cost to me.
Lock button on driver's side door handle fell out. Replaced at my cost.
The check engine light came on in my 2016 Tucson , which only had 77K in mileage. I had it towed to a Hyundai dealership in Richmond, VA. They reported that there was a rod beading issue which would require a total engine rebuild for $15k. I have since learned that there was a class action lawsuit against Hyundai. This recall included the Theta II engine, not the engine in my 2016 Tucson, which is a 1.6 Turbo. The defective part in the Theta II engine is the same defective part in the 1.6 Turbo. When the engine malfunctions, it can cause the engine to go into limp mode which prevents acceleration, it can cause the motor to seize up, or it can cause engine fire. When I contact Hyundai customer service and explained my concern with the engine not being covered in the lawsuit, they admitted that it probably should have been. While the dealership is blaming the issue on a missed oil change, it is a known fact that this is an ongoing issue with the engine. I have documentation attached from my local mechanic sharing the notification Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin. I have since done a lot of reading about the issue with this motor and I have joined several social media groups whose members have all had issue with these engines. These cars are pose a safety risk to the driver and others on the road. They should all be recalled. Please let me know if you require any additional information from me.
In between oil changes, almost all oil will be burned off in none is added. There are no oil Leaks or other problems. This access oil consumption is a manufacturing defect.
A/C failure & Heat Failure which resulted in an accident. Was not the thermostat. ACCEDENT was unable to defrost/defog windows, causing the driver to crash

The engine began to make a knocking noise. Upon our inspection, the vehicle had lost all oil. Vehicle was towed to our local dealership. Dealership informed us a bearing had become worn causing rapid oil loss and a rod to break, sending metal shards into the engine compartment. Engine could have seized up or caught on fire, had the vehicle continued to run. Dealership informed us of other Hyundai recalls for the same issue, however we were told our year/make/model was not included. Vehicle had been at same dealership 2 months prior for a heat/AC issue and a complete inspection was completed. No indication of bearing, oil, or engine issue was noted. No warning lights came on at any point.
I was at a stop light, when I went to accelerate, the car would not move past 20 MPH. I pressed down on the pedal, and the gauge did not go past 20 MPH. After a few seconds, the car started to accurate, but it happened again at a second stop light a few minutes later.
The door latch has went out and I am unable to enter my driver side door without pulling the handles more than 5 to 10 times. This is a danger to my safety if I am being followed.
The drivers back door won't open from the inside or outside. The drivers door is sticking and starting to do the same thing. Very hazardous in case of fire, accident or attempted car jacking.
Engine heating problems, electrical problems and now engine failure, the vehicle is no longer safe to drive. The vehicle is available for inspection. Other vehicles of same make, model, and year have been recalled for these issues however mine has not. I feel it has the same types of issues and safety concerns which should be recalled. The issues began with electrical problems inside the vehicle, random check engine lights coming on then off and other lights popping up in the dash board, the car was not accelerating properly, took the car in and they could not find a problem or fix it. The engine began heating and the speed of vehicle was also being affected. The car would randomly slow down quickly while on the highway at 70 MPH which happened a couple of times and was not safe at all, it could have caused a horrible accident. I could not accelerate enough to stay on the highway. That issue was fixed when we took the vehicle into the dealership to fix and should have been a recall as other cars where having the same issue. Hyundai should be held responsible for issues such as this that are affecting many other Hyundai Tucson drivers. Oil keeps depleting and the engine is burning through fast, also another concern and safety issue as that causes the engine to over heat and potentially cause a fire. A loud noise is coming from the vehicle, sounds like a helicopter it happened suddenly with no check engine light or warning. I'm concerned this car could catch fire, many Tucson's have had warning of catching fire. I don't park in our garage or even in the driveway for fear of that happening although they state ours is not supposed to be affected all these vehicle issues are telling me otherwise. Engine is now dead.This is unacceptable. Windows cannot be rolled down after multiple fixes that I paid for. Hyundai's poor production, manufacturing and quality control is unacceptable, please hold them responsible. Too much money has been spent on issues with no real results.
Oil consumption is very high and leads to no oil in car in a normal oil change timeframe then a failed engine comes No lights on to indicate oil is low Dealership denies oil is low
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 75 MPH, he and his wife observed a faint knocking sound coming from the front of the vehicle. The contact stated that the noise grew louder while attempting to exit the highway. The contact stated that the oil, check engine, and unknown warning lights were illuminated. Additionally, the contact observed smoke coming from the engine compartment however, there was no fire. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road and the hood was opened. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and was awaiting a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened.

My Hyundai Tucson burns through 3.5 quarts of oil in 1,000 miles. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. Yet I have no choice as Hyundai dealerships do not offer loaner cars and nurses cannot call off from the hospital with car problems. I purchased a Hyundai because of the 100,000 mile warranty, and I expect resolution in a timely manner. I have kept detailed records, including the 14 oil changes and two oil pan resealings required in the past year.
Vehicle has 101k miles on it, just over the 100k Hyundai warranty. Vehicle began shaking and sputtering while driving, and check engine light illuminated, I was able to get it to a local mechanic. Mechanic said it had multiple codes (P300, P302, and P304). They did a compression test and said the engine has internal failure and should be replaced; quoted 13k to replace. I had it towed to the Hyundai dealership where I bought it, and they are investigating it. The service manager told me even with perfect maintenance records, Hyundai will likely deny a goodwill claim to replace the engine. Looking at all these engine failure complaints for this year model, it is clear this is an ongoing problem and Hyundai needs to issue a recall.
Failing Transmission including inability to engage reverse and slipping gears while shifting.
Front passenger door and rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. This is a major safety issue if someone has to get out in an emergency. I searched online and there are a ton of issues with the 2016 Hyundai Tucson in regards to the locking mechanisms in the doors.
Power window passenger side, stopped working, it is not the motor, you can hear motor running but window does not work.
Manufacturer’s defect, all (4) windows quit operating. Hyundai dealer where vehicle was purchased did repair my driver window, however; shortly after that window was repaired, all other (3) windows quit working at the same time. One (1) window was in the down position. Hyundai of New Port Richey said they would not repair my windows, however; they did get the window up and suggested I purchase door stops to place in the window to keep it up….this also happened to the other rear window. I live in Florida and on August 17, 2023 I had to drive myself to Mease/Countryside Hospital, the heat index was 115 degrees, I had to get into my extremely hot vehicle. I was diagnosed with heat exhaustion. My bill was $ 23,000. I also have a grand baby I have to place in my very hot vehicle when I babysit. Three (3) windows do not function. On September 08, 2023, Hyundai of NPR Service Advisor gave me a ball park quote of $ 750.00, including labor to repair all three (3) windows….I then made a formal complaint to the complaint number I found in my vehicle manual: Case Number [XXX] they did not help and referred me to the General Manager of the dealership. Now the price to repair is $ 2,100.00. They will fix if I pay half! I have talked with other 2016 Hyundai Tucson owners who have run into the same problem. The manufacturer is at fault, the window parts are defective! Please help me, my health has been affected and I hate putting my Grandchild [XXX] in unheathy environment. Thank you for anything you can help me with. [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Back driver side door does not open at all and the passenger door only opens from the inside. If in an accident they may not be able to access me or my passengers in the vehicle. I am unaware of the cause of this issue and have not gotten it looked at by a professional.
1. My car will randomly not accelerate when the gas is being pressed. This has almost got me killed when making a left hand turn on more than 1 occasion now. The car also struggles with random shifting and power issues while going up steep hills at high speeds. 2. The front passenger side door and the rear drivers side passenger door just randomly stopped working with a week of each other. The rear wont open from the inside or outside. The front passenger side opens if you shake the handle back and forth multiple times (essentially trying to open it multiple times till it opens)
51k miles and engine went out on the highway. No lights or warnings until afterwards. We were able to safely pull over onto the shoulder and had the vehicle towed to the dealer for servicing.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact stated that the vehicle inadvertently decelerated with the accelerator pedal depressed. No warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and determined that the vehicle was not under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000.
The engine has continuously thrown itself into limp mode, unable to exceed 2,000 RPMS and 60mph. It has been in and out of the dealership for the past 6 months as they have zero idea of what’s going on. This all started a month after some software updates were done. Car had zero mechanical issues prior. Car has no audible knocking or engine failure symptoms. I’ve spent atleast $2,000 out of pocket to attempt to get the car fixed with no luck. When I get the car back everytime, it goes into limp mode at interstate speeds which is extremely dangerous.
None of my windows will go down. Vehicle has less than 25,000 miles.
UNKNOWN FULLY Engine knocking out of the blue and then died. Car went limp while driving down the road. Starts and is loudly knocking. Throws codes P0011 and P0326 Cannot drive vehicle. I have not notified hyundai yet. There were no warning lights. Car ran perfectly fine. No issues. Then the engine just died.
Vehicle began to consume large amounts of oil, needing oil added several times a week, every 200-300 miles. Vehicle is now needing engine replacement due to oil consumption related issues.
I already had a recall scheduled 4 days before this accident but 2 days before the engine failure I heard a ticking in the engine , didn’t think much of it because the engine was still running ( 93k miles on the car) so I was going to tell the dealer the problem when I took it for the recall fix appointment but on the way home my car instantly went from 70-30 in the middle of the highway I had the car towed to the Hyundai Dealer and they said rod had broke and said also something about the oil being dirty when I literally had the oil changed days before , but end result my 2nd owners warranty didn’t cover the vehicle even with rod failures being a recurring problem with my trim. They told me a new engine would be 13,500k while still owing 10k on the vechile has but me in a difficult situation
Three out of four window regulators failed in my vehicle over the span of 3 months. The windows could not go down nor stay up. This became a safety hazard as I was unable to retain cool air in my vehicle during the summer months and driving at higher speeds on the highway was difficult due to the outside air siphoning into the vehicle from a small window opening. It also would have prevented me from utilizing my two front windows during an emergency situation. The failure of three regulators was unusual as my vehicle has less than 50K miles, was bought brand new in 2016, and has never been involved in an accident. It appears the regulators are faulty/defective.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact noticed that the window had become inoperable. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised that the vehicle be taken to a dealer for the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
Body: my vehicle has experienced a malfunction in the front passenger side door. This door does not open from the outside, regardless of it being unlocked. The failure occurs 99% of attempts to open said door. A repair was made by the dealer I purchased it from, yet the issue returned within a month. First incident: February 2022. Electrical: My vehicle has also experienced malfunctions in all four windows. The initial malfunction occurred in July 2023, when the front driver side window would not go down. Within a week of having the window regulator and motor replaced professionally, the window regulator failed again (would not go back up after being let down)-- with an additional failure in the front passenger side window regulator. The part was replaced for the second time by a different independent service provider. This time, the failure occurred when I inspected the service providers work. The part was reordered and replaced yet again. However; the service provider made me aware that the issue had occured again, shortly after they repaired it and began testing it. The window was blocked off to keep it from sliding down. The issue is now present in all four windows. Each time it is repaired, the window regulator drum gears are stripped within 3-4 uses. - Vehicle is available for inspection upon request. - failure/malfunction was inspected and confirmed by two different independent service providers. - there were no warning lights or signals aside from the initial failure leading to a failure in all four windows.
2016 Hyundai Tucson ECO/FWD FRONT AND REAR LEFT WINDOW REGULATORS DON'T WORK. REAR DOORS LOCKS DON'T WORK FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. This is a safety concern because the doors locked when persons were inside and could not open the doors. The doors only open inserting a screwdriver through the door locks from inside. The windows of the left front and rear door don't open either. The car is 56,000 and Hyundai dealer says car is not covered by extended warranty. There are a plethora of complaints about malfunctioning of Hyundai Tucson and other models door locks and window regulator systems throughout the media. Since these represent huge safety concerns, Hyundai should issue a recall on these parts.
I was driving from California to Cincinnati to relocate for an unpaid internship. I had a mechanic check my car before I left and was told there was a problem with the engine since it was consuming more oil than normal. I took it to a dealership in California who then said there was nothing wrong and roping off the oil for the drive was expected. About 150 miles before Chicago, my engine started to sound like a helicopter. I had it towed to a dealership in the chicago suburbs that told me I had internal engine failure and it was a known problem so would submit it to the warranty company for me since I am the second owner and technically out of warranty. The warranty company made me jump through hoops to provide documentation for them of every oil change I’ve ever had on the car, even from before I owned it, only to deny the claim due to being out of warranty. The first owner warranty would have still covered this incident as the car is only 7 years old and was just under 70k miles at the time. At time of incident, nothing on the dashboard lit up, not even the check engine light.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving with the cruise control set at 70 MPH, he heard a knocking sound coming from underneath the hood of the vehicle and the oil pressure warning light illuminated. The contact stated that while on an incline, he shifted the vehicle into neutral and was able to navigate the vehicle to safety. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the pistons and rod bearings had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that the vehicle was covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.
On 10/24/22 I took my 2016 Hyundai Tucson into dealership Springfield Hyundai 754 Baltimore Pike Springfield PA 19064 for a faulty drivers side window. At that time they advised the issue with the window was 'striped gear' and replaced 'drivers window regulator' under the extended warranty I purchased when I bought the vehicle. At that same time there was also an issue in the left front door latch and it was replaced under 'warranty.' On 03/03/23 the right rear door also had a latch issue and was replaced at that time. About a week ago, my front passenger side window stopped working. It will not go up or down. I returned to the same dealership on 07/27/2023. I was advised that 'found right front window regulator and motor gears are splined. Both parts need to be replaced. Charge is $890.98.' The car's extended warranty has expired and I would need to pay for this out of my pocket. My concern here is what I consider a trend with my vehicle experiencing window issues and it has not even reached 100K miles - in addition to the door latch issues. By the way, I also have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra which has also had to have almost every door latch replaced. After this second window issue popped up, I became curious and searched the internet for 2016 Hyundai Tucson window issues. And to no surprise, there are multiple consumers with complaints reporting the same exact issue as I am, with their windows as well. Based on current trends and concerns with your car manufacturing, parts, missing basic anti-theft tools, cars being stolen, and a plethora of other issues I am confident this issue with my window is at fault of Hyundai's poor production, manufacturing, and quality control. Windows are an emergency exit. In the case of an accident, you need to be able to open the window to exit if it is the only viable option. You can become trapped inside your vehicle if the windows do not work. Window needs to be operable to combat exhaust that may be trapped inside vehicle.
Prior to these oil changes and tires was completed and March 2023 engine light on and whining noise took it to Firestone twice they ran complete diagnosis twice and mechanic found no leak around the engine or leak in bottom and they recommended that I take it Hyundai dealership which I did that same month again Hyundai Service ran diagnosis and recommended replacing some air valve to fix the problem but the part needed to be ordered; again it took over six weeks to get appointment for service at this Hyundai Service dealership do said repair and I ask if I can still drive the car with engine light on they said it was o.k as long as engine light not was blinking. The next day engine light came on again and it took over six weeks to get appointment with Hyundai Service dealership in my area and the car sat in the driveway for over month. Now September 2023 same Hyundai Service ran engine diagnosis now need gasket and valve and they said engine failure because no oil in the engine and would cost $11K to replace. So please tell me in over month that car sat in driveway with no visible leaks in engine area and no leaks in the driveway, so where did the oil go and only answer I can deduce engine is defective.
My car has an engine oil leak that has been happening for over a year now since I bought it. I have to change my oil every 2,000 miles because of the leak, when Ive been told this car should be changing its oil for every 7,000 miles. My passenger door no longer opens from the outside once my car is unlocked. I have to put my window down in order to get inside and this is a safety hazard.
The windows of the 2016 Hyundai Tuscan go down and then the regulator went bad at that exact moment causing the windows to not go up, while driving on the highway. It is available for inspection. On a highway, I was going the speed limit between 65-70 MPH when I put one window down and attempted to put the window back up but I couldn’t. The pressure gets unbalanced and therefore impacts the drivers ears and passengers. I couldn’t even drive without the need to grab my ears because of the pressure. I had to pull over because the window wouldn’t go back up and the other windows wouldn’t go up after trying to balance the pressure in the car. I had to think quick and get on the side of the highway to figure out what happened. My ears wouldn’t stop popping and I couldn’t get back on the highway to get home. I had to drive slow off the following exit because the pain in my ears was so bad. This is a safety issue and isn’t the first time seeing this happen to people. The problem occurred out of nowhere, there were no warning signs and no indication this was going to happen. I confirmed my suspicions by going to a mechanic locally and sought out the issue being the regulator. This cannot be on consumers to repair. Out of all the issues that have been announced about this issue country wide, I’m surprised this has not been brought up before. This happened on 9/18/23 at night going home with my children. They had to cover their ears because of the pressure. I did not call the police or insurance company as I had not been in an accident. That doesn’t not mean this should be taken lightly. Had I not had thought of my kids in my car and thought quickly to pull over, we would have crashed.
Recently the transmission was replaced because the original one was defective. After a couple of weeks, I had turned on the clean air control and it started blowing cold air, so I turned the heater control higher, and the air was even colder. I don't know why this started happening all of a sudden. I'm the type of driver that rarely turns on the heater or air conditioning, I always use the recycle air button that pulls from off the engine and from outside.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side front windows and the passenger’s side rear door window regulators were inoperable. The contact stated that the regulators were making a whining sound but failed to roll up or roll down. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
I bought a used 2016 Hyundai Tucson locally. Had the car 3 days, & both rear window actuators had to be replaced. Had the car a week, oil pump/pan seal failed. Then the rear seal fail. Then the boot on the right CV joint failed. The aAC started blowing hot on the passenger side, while cold on the driver side, but I DON’T have dual controls for the temperature & it’s full. Bluetooth randomly connects/disconnects. Gas gauge is inaccurate says 40 miles left & then suddenly your light is on & it says you’ve 20. REPEATEDLY replaced my brake light bulbs/front turn signal bulbs, several times within a few months of each other, often on the same side. Having my phone plugged into the charging ports, the phone often overheats to the point of being too hot to touch. Even placed out of the sun’s rays, & shaded. Must pull front passenger door 2x externally before it will open. RR passenger door you can pull all day/push from inside /outside, doesn’t matter, WON’T OPEN.The car is equipped with a CVT, which allows you to shift manually if needed. Then the transmission refused to shift automatically. No codes would show. Today car died on me in the middle of the road, while I was turning, check engine is on, & car refuses to start. I was almost hit by cross traffic from both directions. A few people drove around me, before two very nice young men pushed my car out of the middle of the road onto the shoulder of a county road, on a holiday weekend. If not for a Good Samaritan, I’d have been walking 6 miles home in the dark. I’m almost 50, & a woman, & diabetic. The car has plenty of oil & coolant. Tried putting the car in neutral, still won’t start. Air filter is clean. Battery is good. Says it has gas; 40 miles til empty. Car tries to turn over but won’t catch. Tachometer will barely register to the line above zero, & even giving it gas makes NO difference. Have been told it is the timing & transmission. Dealer won’t honor extended warranty. Car has “just” passed Hyundai warranty.
The engine is consuming oil that may cause mechanical failure while driving on a busy road or highway. At the last oil change the technician informed me that there was hardly any oil left in the car. When I took the car to Hyundai they confirmed that the engine was consuming oil. Hyundai Motors refuses to replace the engine. There are over 2 million recalls on the same type of engine that my car has but there isn’t a recall for my car. Please help me hold the manufacturer responsible for this manufacturer defect.
The front passenger window failed to work. A week later drivers window failed to work. A week after repairing the two front windows the rear passenger side window failed to work. The failure of windows working is breaking of plastic regulators by faulty manufacturing parts. There should be a recall on these regulations. This is a safety issue!
Both front windows have stopped working. From a Google search on possible fixes, this is a common issue with 2016 Hyundai Tucsons. It’s also very expensive to fix and a great safety hazard.
The window regulators of this vehicle break down and stop working consistently. The plastic wheel on the inside of the door panel warps and breaks after a few months of use/being replaced. The temperatures this summer have been close to or over 100 degrees on a daily basis. This is what makes this a safety issue. Windows on the vehicle are stuck in a down position and cannot be rolled back up.
I have been to multiple Hyundai dealerships, and opened about 3 to 4 Hyundai consumer cases; for WELL known engine problems. My vehicle has failed oil tests and combustion tests done by Hyundai dealers. Springfield Hyundai/ Genesis kept my vehicle for 5 months claiming they found issues with the engine that was consistent with the other vehicles recalled for obsessive oil consumption. After their findings, Hyundai corporate decided not to do any repairs, after 5 months! They claim my vehicle is out of warranty and can not carry through the goodwill repair/replacement. Hyundai corporate and I have proof of my engine complaints and failed oil tests before 100,000mi warranty expired (which is why Hyundai submitted a goodwill repair request on my behalf took the car in the first place). My vehicles VIN is not included in engine recall, nor the theft recall. My car has been driven away from the key fob multiple times through the years; indicating it can be stolen. My last communication with a Hyundai dealership, the service manager informed me that engines that have already failed can be submitted. Basically I and others that are trying to be proactive, will have to wait until the engine fails and possibly cause an accident, injuring or killing people!! Due to this fear myself and others have to check and get more frequent oil changes and travel with oil in the trunk to keep the engine from locking up on the highway. This vehicle continues stalling, hesitating, losing power, and loud knock engine noise. I have been complaining of the bad DCT system since 2017 (2nd complaint written to NHTSA). Before my limited warranty was expired I've been denied by corporate even when the dealership found issues and admitted Hyundai is screwing over thousands of people and I am just another one. I have every work order and oil change from day one, that indicates that I kept up with the maintenance of my vehicle. I believe Hyundai is not including VIN#s that should be included in recall
Car window regulator failed. window could not be rolled up and occupants subjected to outside weather conditions.
Car window regulator failed. window could not be rolled up and occupants subjected to outside weather conditions.
The back left driver side door locked and can't be opened by any means. Child lock not on.
The right driver side door does not open from the outside after the car has been locked then unlocked using the key fob. Removing the key manually from the fob does not get the door to open. The only way to open the door from the outside is to leave the vehicle unlocked or to open it from the inside after going through another door.
Heading to Dallas from Houston. I got halfway to Dallas and my car started making this crazy knocking noise. Sound like a Go-Kart. Well we never made it to Dallas. Check engine light didn’t come on until hours later. A knocking noise from the engine that increases in frequency as the engine rpm increases. Reduced power and/or hesitation and vibration. I realized my 2016 Hydaui did not have an engine recall on it even though it was a well known issue. Every year was recalled but my car. Called dealership and received no response. My car has 111k miles and is paid off. I have known complaints at the dealership on my oil change that it was burning oil before 3k miles. They looked as me as if I was exaggerating. Majority of the time the oil light never even came on.
The passenger rear door won't open and hasn't done so an unknown period of time. 1. In July, 2023 I brought it to Shaker Hyundai in Watertown, CT when there was a recall to update the electrical system in this vehicle. I requested they try to fix the door after the recall was complete. When I left the dealership, the door opened. I stopped approximately five miles down the road on the way back home; I was unable to open it then and it hasn't opened since. The car hasn't been inspected by the police or the insurance company, but it has been inspected by the Watertown, CT dealership. Yes, it's available for inspection. No lights. No messages, other than oil change light. Others have registered this issue here, and I want to add my voice to theirs. Clearly your organization knows how VERY dangerous it is for passengers to lack egress from the car. If this happens randomly, is it possible the remaining three of my doors will latch permanently, and what then? Please do something! In the past, I owned a DIFFERENT car whose axle broke at an odd angle because of a defective part; the mandatory recall didn't take place for an additional two years. Please don't make me and others wait. Finally, I want my the dealership from whom I purchased to take a stab at fixing it properly and permanently. Unfortunately, Danbury won't look at it since Watertown tried/failed. HELP!
Engine consistently burns oil over federal regulations. This increased oil consumption has led to the catalytic converter to fail on the vehicle.
3 of the doors on this vehicle are hard to open from the outside. The cable that runs from the outside door handle to the door latch mechanism is stretched. You must yank hard on the outside door handle several times before the door latch will release opening the door. Replacing the inner door cable system for the door latch corrects this problem. This is a very well known problem on the internet with many youtube video's showing how to replace this cable system. If this vehicle is involved in a crash it may become difficult to get the occupants out in a timely manner.
I recently purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tucson, Limited 1.6T. After a few weeks of driving I noticed it would shake when at a stoplight. It also loses acceleration and 'skips' when making turns, going over speed bumps or just taking off from a complete stop. There have also been times that I press the accelerator pedal and the car doesn't move. After researching I discovered this is a known issue and Hyundai issued a Technical Service Bulletin (number 21-AT-014H) in August 2021 instead of a recall. My vehicle had less than 40K miles on it when I purchased it (from a non-Hyundai used dealership) I took my car to a Hyundai service center, when I explained the problems to a technician, he suspected he knew exactly what the problem was. I chose to have them perform a "judder" test to confirm and the tech was right, it did in fact fail the judder test. In order to fix this issue, I have to have the entire clutch assembly replaced for approximately $2500. This issue is a huge safety risk and I believe Hyundai should issue a recall and fix this issue at no charge to the vehicle owner. I have read hundreds of similar complaints, they know there is a problem, they know how to fix the problem, the financial burden should not fall on the consumer.
Both my front window (driver and passenger side) regulator and motor failed and needed to be replaced within the past 6 months. With both windows, I lowered and then they wouldn't close. Two separate occasions. First was December 2022, and second was July 2023. This is an expensive repair and for a vehicle with only 50,000 miles, I find this unacceptable. I have read multiple complaints for this same issue. Hyundai needs to make this right and reimburse for repair(s). Thank you, Barbara Miller
When coming from a stop and trying to accelerate the transmission slips and makes a strange noise. After a few seconds of releasing the gas pedal, it will drive again normally. It is intermittent and happens from either a full stop to first or first to second (while stuck in traffic). My vehicle should be included in the dual clutch transmission recall that is available for other vehicles.
Engine began ticking and knocking and needs complete replacement confirmed by independent service center. No warning lights came on, regular maintenance has been performed, including oil changes at dealership.
The right rear passenger door would not open from the inside or outside. The child safety lock was not engaged. If there had been an accident, fire or any other incident requiring a quick exit, exit through that door for my 96 year old mother, or any other passenger, would not be possible. I have heard of numerous complaints about this problem. I have not had an inspection of this problem by an outside source. There are no warning lights associated with this problem.
1.6 Turbo engine failure while on freeway. Towed to mechanic, then informed needs new engine. This vehicle seized on the freeway
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to reverse. After several attempts, the vehicle worked as designed. While approaching a stop, the vehicle was jerking. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
The passenger doors have an issue where the door CANNOT be opened from the inside (or outside). This seems to be a common problem with this car since it can be found very easily on the internet. I was traveling with visitors from overseas and sometimes I was unable to open the door from the outside for them. I was lucky that only one door was affected. I think this matter should be considered a very serious defect as persons needing to exit the vehicle in an emergency would be trapped. Please consider a recall for this issue since there are many Hyundai's with this problem. Thank you for your consideration. John Sommo, Jr.
Driving vehicle home from work a 7 mile commute driver front rotor and passenger rear rotors caught fire. Called fire department to ensure preventive measure of entire car catching fire. It appears both corners have fused pads to rotors creating high friction. No check engine lights or ABS light notifications on dash to warn of issue. Brakes and rotors replaced approximately 2 years ago and 25k miles with zero issues. Brake master reservoir is only low about 1 ounce of fluid with no signs of fluid leak on floorboard or firewall of vehicle. Abs module appears to have no fluid residue or leaks either. Have not checked fuses as of yet for failure.
The back passenger door will not open from the inside or the outside. Any back seat passenger safety is at risk because they will be unable to exit the car incase of an emergency.
Excessive oil consumption NM, replaced catalytic converter twice. Losing power again. 122450 miles. Trans mission slipping, not shifting into higher gear. Gas mpg down to 19mpg. Unsafe on highway, loses speed and revs too high
Back doors completely stop working. Not able to open the door from the inside or out
Car shakes when when starting or stopping
Entering on the 65 mph interstate. Tucson would not accelerate past 60 mph. When it reached 60 mph it rapidly lost power and speed. Air conditioner was on also. When accelerating while at a stop light or making a turn vehicle hesitates to accelerate. All occurrences of this happening A/c was on.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door was stuck closed and was unable to be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. The contact stated that the door had been stuck closed for a month. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.
There are four safety concerns I have with the 2016 Hyundai Tuscon: 1.) The Check Oil light failed to illuminate indicating the need for more oil. 2.) The excessive oil consumption may have caused my catalytic converter to misfire and melt. 3.) The Check Engine light failed to illuminate when my catalytic converter misfired and melted. 4.) The Knock Sensor (if it is bad), which is installed on my vehicle, could fail and not warn me about any engine problems. On 7/3/23, my vehicle was having a difficult time accelerating up a mountain. My brother and I also heard a rattling noise, so my brother drove to a safe place. I had my vehicle towed to a local auto service garage, where I was told the catalytic converter melted due to misfiring and that I needed to replace it. On 7/5/23, I had my vehicle towed to the closest Hyundai Dealership, where they confirmed that the vehicle's catalytic converter was melted due to misfiring. After researching the causes catalytic converters misfiring, I read several complaints about the said vehicle's oil consumption and poor acceleration. I suspect there might be a connection to the catalytic converter misfiring and melting. Incidentally, I have had two other incidents where my vehicle lacked acceleration and started shaking. One occurred on 12/28/22, while I was entering an intersection. The other happened on 4/1/23, while I was attempting to pass another vehicle. All three incidents could've ended tragically. The Check Engine light did illuminate during two of the incidents, but not the incident that occurred on 7/3/23. Additionally, the catalytic converter was previously tested on 12/31/22 and it didn't have any bad codes. Sparkplugs were also replaced on 12/31/22, and a 3-Step Fuel System Cleaning was done on 6/12/23. The Check Oil light only illuminated once since I have owned the vehicle, but failed to illuminate when my oil was getting low in between oil changes. My SUV is still in service waiting for a Catalytic Converter.
The engine of my car is consuming several quarts of oil between oil changes. I have read that this is a common problem with some models of Hyundia vehicles. I have also read that this defect has led to engine failures and possibly fires.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that all four automatic windows failed to operate as needed. The front driver’s side window started failing and an appointment was scheduled with the dealer to repair the window. While testing the windows in the dealer parking lot after the repair, the front passenger’s side window fractured, and the dealer agreed to cover the cost of the repair free of charge. Over time, the rear windows started to lower independently, and the vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle intermittently failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle lunge forward while accelerating. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
Engine is consuming oil and we are waiting for it to totally fail. We have a long list of things. These are notes from the end of the process when we gave up. I responded after the fourth consumption test on 11/28/2022 asking for them to re-open my case and have not heard from them so I called on 12/9/2022 to speak to my case manager. We started this journey with 118,000 miles and now we have close to 164,000. Went from 1qt every 1000 miles to 2qt’s every 1000 miles. Had to get another case manager to leave a message for my case manager to call me back. I don’t even know if they re opened my case. Hyundai has refused to admit the have a large issue with their GDI motors. They should not be consuming oil as much as they are. Only Theta motors are being covered in Non Turbo cars. This is my second vehicle currently owned with a gamma turbo motor. This one is waiting to fail and the other one has failed.
FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY BROKE IN WHICH WINDOW WOULD NOT GO DOWN. REPAIRED ON 1/24/23 AT HYUNDAI OF ST AUGUSTINE FOR $737.27. THIS IS A SAFETY RISK DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT WINDOW DOWN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY AND DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN.
FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP ON 7/05/23. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND WHILE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS PULLING CAR OUT HE PUT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DOWN AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL UP. I HAD THIS WINDOW DOWN 2 HOURS PRIOR AND HAD NO ISSUES WITH IT GOING UP. HYUNDAI OF ORANGE PARK SAID MOTOR AND WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY STRIPPED DUE TO ASSEMBLY BEING CHEAP PLASTIC. COST TO REPLACE AND GET WINDOW BACK UP IS $1400.00. HAD TO HAVE DEALERSHIP PUT UP WINDOW AND SHORE IT UP DUE TO IT BEING COST PROHIBITIVE TO REPAIR. SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WINDOW WILL NOT GO DOWN IN CASE OF EMERGENCY IF DOOR MECHANISM FAILS AND DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. ON 1/24/23, HYUNDAI ST AUGUSTINE REPLACED DRIVE SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR ASSEMBLY AT THE COST OF 737.27 DUE TO WINDOW NOT BEING ABLE TO GO DOWN. A SEPARATE COMPLAINT WAS FILED FOR THIS OCCURENCE.
CAR IS USING MORE THAN ONE QUART OF OIL PER 1,000 MILES. CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL AND OIL CHANGES ARE DONE AT THE DEALERSHIP EVERY 3500 MILES. HAVING TO CHECK OIL LEVELS CONSTANTLY AND KEEP QUARTS OF OIL IN CAR TO FILL IN CASE IT IS LOW. HYUNDAI ST AUGUSTINE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under warranty and the Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS) was replaced; however, after the repair, while driving 62 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The contact stated that he drove the vehicle back to the dealer and was informed by the mechanic that there would be a cost for the repair. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 118,000.
Both of my back doors will not open from the inside or out. Thanks to youtube I watched videos on how to open doors from the inside I had to pull latch and then stick screwdriver in there to lift cable up up door would open. This is very dangerous for doors to not open up, taking time to use a screwdriver to open them up is ridiculous, according to youtube the cable was made too short. I called the manufacturer and they gave me a price of 700-1200.00 to fix. I really think this should be a recall. If someone in back needs to get out in emergency situation then they are stuck.
I purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon new in April 2017. From the beginning I felt there were issues with this vehicle but was also told that everything was fine. In 2019 the car stopped getting power and I was unable to go over 60mph on the highway. Hyundai said it had run out of oil but I had always gotten my oil changes from Hyundai directly. Also- no alert that my oil was low every came on. They replaced the engine or parts of it but I was still required to pay about $3,000 at the time. In Jan. of this year I realized that the car was not running as it should. Hyundai in Milford, CT had me pay for the oil change and also pay for the oil consumption test. On Feb. 20th I was approved for a new engine. I have been given multiple dates of when I my car would be repaired with the last date being May 17, 2023. I have not heard anything from Hyundai. I submitted a complaint with Hyundai corporate (21515374) and they have done nothing except tell me that they are still waiting for an answer as well. I am afraid to drive my vehicle long distances and do not know what kind of service I should get while waiting for a new engine. I am now carrying oil around in my vehicle but think that this is horrible wrong. I am still paying almost $600 a month for a vehicle that I am afraid to drive and I have not received any answers from anyone regarding when my repairs will be done or even getting a rental while I wait. After reading hundreds of other complaints this seems to be an issue with Hyundai and everyone says the same thing about the oil warning light not coming on at all. I purchased my vehicle from Hyundai in Milford, CT.
excessive oil consumption. it has been confirmed by valvoline instant oil change center. after an oil change, round 600 miles the oil is to be checked and topped off completely because the reservoir is bone dry. can not make it a complete 3,000 miles until the next oil change. the oil has to be topped off at least 2-3 times until the next oil change. there are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms to notify of the problem. it has been inspected by hyundai dealership, whom at someone point replaced the turbo in the limited 1.6L. also, the windshield wiper reservoir decided to stop working. I have to wait until it rains or go through a car wash to clean my windshield. all hoses have been checked and there are no leaks or disconnection of the hose. the windshield wiper fluid will not come out and remains completely full.
Rear passenger door will not open from inside or outside
Rear driver door does not open from the outside or inside. The doors are unlocked but will not open at all.
I was driving down the highway and I saw my usb cord smoking, I immediately threw it out the window to avoid a fire and pulled over on the highway. My heart was racing and then I called my mom. She thought it was the AC filter that needed to be changed. A few months later in October, the engine failed. A dealership fixed the engine, but it's still consuming a lot oil. I called Hyundai about the engine issues but I forgot about the smoke I saw. They closed the case on the engine, because they claimed I had no warranty. I have no warranty, because Fairfax Hyundai told me they no longer accept car shield. Hyundai closed my case last month and reopened it on 6/30, because of the smoke. I originally bought the car from Waldorf Honda, in Maryland. Dozens of issues have been reported with this vehicle. On 6/30 I realized that the two back doors also stopped opening from the inside and outside.
Complete Engine failure under 100k miles. Electrical issues with toggle switches
Door latch suddenly stopped working, making it impossible to open the door from either inside or outside the vehicle. Had this occurred in an emergency situation passengers could have been trapped inside. Hyundai is aware of this defect and has issued a Technical Service Bulletin and purportedly extended the warranty but there is a shortage of parts to make repairs and so they cannot effectively honor that warranty or make needed repairs. NHTSA should require a recall on this problem to inform owners of this potential hazard and force Hyundai to put more resources into correcting the defective latches and possibly avoid unnecessary loss of life.
Similar to other owners my car has been burning oil at a higher-than-normal rate. Because of this, there has been a carbon build-up causing my engine to start misfiring and stop working while driving on the interstate.
Was driving on the highway and my car wouldn't go above 45mph, then check engine light and oil pressure lights came on. Pulled over on the shoulder and checked the oil and it was low oil by about 2 quarts. I checked the oil about 3 weeks prior and had no issues with oil loss and had no lights ever come on the dash prior. Had to get towed home because the car was sputtering and would accelerate. The car is inoperable now and needs engine repair.
My car was having issues with the engine making a rattling sound and having difficulty accelerating. About a week after the symptoms came up, my car died on the side of the road. I am so lucky I was in a neighborhood and not on the freeway. No lights came on at all until 10-20 seconds before it died. I was able to get my car to the dealership and was told I'd need a new engine. Although I bought it used, I've only had this car for four months. I'm hoping Hyundai places the 2016 Tucson under recall as many others seems to have similar issues.
My engine has 98,000 miles and is burning two quarts of oil every 1000 miles. I have no visible oil leaks.
THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. HAVE RECEIPTS FOR MOST ALL SERVICES. AT AROUND 90,000 MILES, THE CAR STARTED "BURNING OIL" AND NEEDED FREQUENT TOP OFFS. AT 108,000 MILES, I HAVE CAR SERVICED AND STARTED A ROAD TRIP. IN LESS THAN 40 MILES, IT STARTED TO SHUDDER AND MISS FIRE ON THE INTERSTATE. CAUSING LOSS OF POWER AND CONTROL. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY OFF INTERSTATE 40. I DID NOT DRIVE FURTHER AND HAD CAR TOWED BACK TO TOWN. AT DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD "ENGINE FAILURE" DUE TO 2ND CYLINDER LOSS OF COMPRESSION, AND NEW ENGINE IS ONLY OPTION. I WAS DENIED ANY SERVICE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO BEING OVER 100,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT WORK WITH ME ON VARIANCE OR GOODWILL GESTURE. I HAVE SEEN IN ONLINE FORUMS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO OTHER OWNERS. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED AND NEVER GAVE ANY HINT OF THE PENDING FAILURE. I AM FILING THIS AS FORMAL COMPLAINT AND SAFETY HAZARD WITH THIS VEHICLE.
The regulator and motors have failed in all four windows. Two have been replaced with "panel assembly" parts - on 03/24/2022 the parts cost $383.09 and on 10/07/2022 the same [XXX] cost $470.16. I have not yet replaced the back two windows which are held in place by tape. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
I have 3 issues. #1. The transmission fails to shift only at certain times resulting in high RPM's on level road. #2. Engine has knocking noise at idle after having the engine knock sensor installed. #3 right, rear passenger door will not open from inside, or outside in spite of inside latch being manually opened or attempting to open with key fob activation.
Window and motor regulators both went out in 1-2 weeks apart may 2023
The engine is consuming more than 1 quart of oil every 1000 miles. This began around 100000 miles at 1 quart per thousand miles and has since progressed to 1 quart every 500--800 miles. I found this problem when my oil pressure light came on as I was going around a curve. I checked my oil level and it was not visible on the stick. My engine was 3 quarts low 3000 miles since the last oil change. This has been going on since April of 2021. My steering column makes a significant rattling noise and jiggles up and down when going over bumps. This has been going on since about the 80000 mile mark which was around April 2020. My local shop confirmed there was something likely worn out and needing replacement, perhaps the entire steering column.
My car has been consuming oil at a higher than normal rate. The engine light came on and they told me it was a PCV valve. My oil smells. I put in 2-4 quarts in-between a 3,000 mile oil change. Even though the recommended oil change for my engine is 4500 miles. So with a standard 5 quart oil change plus 3-5 more quarts, my car is consuming 7-10 quarts every 3,000 miles. This is not normal. I have started the Oil Consumption Test with Hyundai in NW Arkansas at Crain Hyundai and was told my powertrain warranty is now up to 120,000 mile warranty. I did not know this Hyindai Corp. never informed me. Also, I have paid out of pocket for every new oil change I've needed for the last 20,000 miles and oil in-between. Yesterday, while I saw the dipstick was under the L the tech told me it was within normal range. How is this possible? My car has gone into Limp Mode a few times because of the oil problem.
About a year ago, the driver's side door stopped opening. Since the vehicle was out of warrantee, I had it repaired but do not have the invoice any longer. I didn't expect it to happen to another door. A couple of months ago, the rear passenger door stopped opening. I have had it fixed. There was no warning, the doors just stopped opening, trapping whoever was inside at the time. Of course another door could be used, but that's assuming it didn't just stop working at the same time.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer due to excessive oil leaking. The contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed with an engine failure and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be rebuilt. The vehicle was repaired under warranty however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was not diagnosed after the recent failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 99,000.
While driving the car, when you press down on the accelerator to pick up speed, the car actually slows down. Eventually it will run normally at speed, however it creates a significant risk when pulling into traffic.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was approximately 51,800.
Passenger doors do not physically open when unlocked from outside and inside. Known stretched cable problems, with hundreds of complaints when doing a Google search. Elderly parents cannot yank hard enough to get them open by brute force. God forbid if there was an accident, you would not be able to open to door from inside to get out and others from outside would not be able to open either to assist. Rolling death trap. Hyundai Korea knows about the door cable problem and fixes it for free. USA wants you to pay $400 per door to fix. Shame on you Hyundai USA!!!
Rear passenger door would not open after door is locked from inside the vehicle or outside the vehicle. Was stuck in the vehicle. Had to crawl out via other side door. Due to my size this would be a great hazard in an emergency exit situation. Have not take it to the dealer police or insurance but internet search leads to a faulty actuator. No warnings.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that when she was near her vehicle, she noticed that the driver's side window was down. The contact stated that she could not roll the window up. The contact stated that over the next month, the other three windows were lowered and could not be rolled up. Additionally, the contact stated that the headlights had failed, and she had them replaced. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the windows mechanism needed to be replaced. The vehicle had been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson and under warrantee they replaced the transmission. But it has never been right. Hyundai has had a multitude of problems with this transmission and it should have been recalled, but was not! Now it has problems again and I've asked Hyundai corporate for help but all they say is its up to the goodwill (translation generosity) of the Hyundai dealer in Charlotte. So I am screwed. I need help contacting the government agency that can do something to help me.
We had the driver side back door fixed by dealer because it would not open. It would lock and unlock but not open from the outside or inside of car. Now the passenger back door is doing the same thing. I researched on line and there are a lot of same complaints. This is a very Serious issue in case of an accident and the people in the back could not exit the vehicle. I have contacted Hyundai but no response. With a safety issue across a lot of same cars, this should be recalled and not charge the customer $1,000 to fix it.
In the last 2 years, 3 of our 4 doors locks have failed to open the door from inside and outside. The dealer has made me bring it in to prove its broken. This is a saftey issue, now my driver's door is not working from outside and they want me to bring it it BEFORE ordering and waiting on parts. I am 70 years old and cannot climb over seats to get out. Someone is going to get trapped, and I hope it's not me. This should be a recall as they know they are failing but are waiting till it does to fix it. Any help in this would be appreciated. Thank you for your help.
The vehicle is burning oil quickly. I have always gotten the oil changed on time. I just reached 89,000 miles and the vehicle has begun shaking when I accelerate and the check engine light has been flashing. I checked the oil and it is at the half way line between Full and Low - even though I just had it changed 3 weeks and less than 1,000 miles ago. I took it to the dealership, they said they do not recognize a problem with oil consumption. I told them my check engine light was flashing and it felt like it was going to stall when accelerating. The dealership said they used to do diagnostic testing, but don't anymore. They said they would look into, but I would have to pay $135 for the diagnostic testing.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon that is consuming a lot of oil. My oil is changed when it is supposed to on a regular basis, as is all other car maintenance. All of a sudden, my car needs an additional 2-3quarts of oil in between oil changes. Someone told me there are a lot of Hyundai vehicles that are having oil consumption issues. I would like to know more before I go sink the $2000 the dealership is going to charge me to find and fix the issue, please.
All windows broke even though they hardly rolled down. 3 out of 4 broke within a year and the spark plugs keep burning out even though been changed and mechanic can't figure out why.
Driver's side door will not open from outside even when vehicle is unlocked. It will not open with the key in the door either. I had no warning that this was going to occur, I left work at 9pm and my door would not open. Thankfully, my other 3 doors are still in working order but what happens if those fail as well? My car has 104k miles but I have only had it for 5 years and this is a part that should not fail in that time span. I have not yet taken the car to the dealer for this issue as I know the car is out of warranty and I will have to cover the cost of repair, but I believe it should be a recall with the amount of people who have posted online about having the same issue on their Hyundai Tucsons.
While running errands in her 2016 Hyundai Tucson my wife rolled down her front driver and passenger side windows. When she encountered rain she attempted to roll both windows up, but the passenger side window would not roll up, causing a dangerous distraction where heavy rain was entering the vehicle while she was driving. Our mechanic inspected this part and said that the gears controlling the window were made of plastic which had been shredded over time and that the motor itself showed signs of corrosion. The vehicle is only 7 years old and has been well maintained, so i can't understand why this part failed so easily. Our mechanic informed us that this is a VERY common issue with Hyundai vehicles and that parts would be hard to come by because of high demand. This issue is available for inspection upon request and has been inspected by a licensed mechanic. There were no dash warnings associated with this issue.
I've reported last year that I have an oil consumption problem.The car is not leaking to the ground.It's leaking within the car.I have replaced 2 catalyc converters in the past 2 years! The dealership ignores my requests and seems real shady.They rather I pay every year.I already feel it not working correctly,Its only been since October 2022,since i replaced the converter.I have contacted the corporation at Hyundai and nothing.They were a waste of time.I contacted the BAR and they were not much help either.I am spending constantly on this car with the same issue.What a lemon.Hyundai Corporation has to be held accountable for the mistakes.Thank you.
-Driver side and passenger side back doors do not open from the inside or outside. They just stopped opening one day, months apart. Nothing hit them or could have caused a jam. It is available for inspection upon request. -The doors don’t open, and I could not get my dog or child from out of the backseat. -This is a recurring problem based on what I have read online. The issue has been confirmed by a mechanic. -The doors were inspected by Caliber Collision and I got a quote from them. -There were no lights or warnings to inform me this was going to happen and still none now that it has happened. -
The back, driver's side, door will not open from the inside or outside. The issue has been present since the very first week I purchased the car. If this issue happens to all the doors, I could be trapped inside the vehicle, and unable to get out. It absolutely needs to be recalled and replaced by Hyundai.
The vehicle will not accelerate properly. Several times, I have been on the interstate, and the vehicle would barely increase in speed. Several instances have let to life threatening situations. Numerous times, I have gone to get on the interstate, and the vehicle would slow to nearly a stop, and even when having no other choice but to floor the gas pedal, it still would not accelerate. I've been forced to go off the road, in the middle of the interstate, so many times I've lost track. It's dangerous, and needs to be addressed immediately. I'm considering a lawsuit.
Air bag light is on. Hyundai dealer diagnosed problem as a faulty clock spring.
I have several doors that do not open when unlocked. The seems to be a common issue for this vehicle based on Google searches. The drivers door has to be unlocked multiple times before the door will open. The passenger front door will not open at all from the outside. The back drivers door does not open from inside or outside. It seems all of the door are slowly failing causing the potential to become trapped inside the vehicle or being prevented from getting to someone inside if needed.
Noticed excessive oil consumption (no visible leaks) ~ 1 qt (or more) per 1000 miles. Right before the oil change at 83656 mi (~4000 mi after the last oil change, I decided to check the oil level and the dipstick was completely dry, with no low oil lights no check engine lights, no leaks, nothing. When I went to the dealership for the oil change and mention that - the engineer said that "1 quart of oil consumption per 1,000 is a norm for Hyundai". BTW the Hyundai Tucson 2016 manual states that the oil change interval is 5000 mi, so if the 1qt/ 1000mi is normal for Hyundai so I have to drive to the oil change on a dry engine! When I requested to perform a consumption test they can only order a consumption test if Hyundai grants it. They made a claim for me, but there’s no guarantee that they will even respond.
i HAVE BEEN HAVING ISSUE WITH THE CAR STALLING OR TURNING OFF WHEN IM WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN
Engine is burning oil, car dealership has confirmed the engine is in fact burning oil and that I do need a new engine. Oil consumption test has been completed, and I was told to check my oil daily and to add oil. Hyundai will not approve an engine replacement. There are no lights or warnings at all.
I own two Hyundai tucsons. I am very concerned about the rise of thefts and the economic damages that this vehicle has caused our nation. Close to home. I have seen my auto insurance increase with each renewal (every 6 months) by $200. So I am paying $400 more a year for the last 2 years which is an $800 increase because I own a Hyundai Tucson and the insure is taking additional precautions due to the safety and economic risk that me owning a Hyundai Tucson has. I am urging the NHTSA to hold Hyundai accountable. It's not just the fast. It's not just deaths. It's not just damage of property and the progress of crimes of stealing a Hyundai. It's all the other innocent people who are paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars more annually because a manufacturer put out a poor product. In 2023 we have now gone through a pandemic. We've gone through inflation and other numerous occurrences such as gas, eggs and milk which have dramatically increased in price because of other outside factors. Having another issue affect innocent families at no fault of their own creates a devastating result for those just trying to keep their head above water and now making a decision of food or other necessities so that they can pay inflated insurance because a company has put out a poor product that has resulted in crime and harm coming to people. Hyundai has had months to issue a recall and to do the right thing. It's clear some intervention is necessary at this point to protect the American consumer.
Unable to move the car while in traffic. The car slows down in traffic creating the possibility of accidents/crashes. The car will not go forward and only moves in reverse.
The car is making a sound when I step on the brakes. The brakes were just done a couple of months ago. The engine is making a funny sound. The engine light came on but then went off. The air conditioner stop working and heat is only coming out of it.
Back in december, 2022 my car was doing a shocking change of speed all of a sudden, for example I would be driving and accelerating, but the car would not speed above 40mph, and while I was still pressing on the accelerator, it would do like a shocking movement and accelerate all of sudden. At that time, the car had just stopped accelerating above 20mph which almost got me into an accident on the highway. I took the car to the Hyundai and they said that the engine was fine and had passed all tests, that only the sensor needed to be changed. I paid for the repair, but since I got my car back this is still happening, and I almost got into an accident again in the highway. I was just entering into the highway and when I pressed the gas pedal to change lane the car just blocked it did am abrupt movement trying to change speed, it didnt increase the speed, the car behind me was coming fast and beeping because it seemed like my car was coming to a full stop instead of speeding, but all of a sudden the car again did an abrupt change of speed and started increasing up to 60mph, but in order for this to happen, I had to release and press again. It is not the first time, I have tried contacting the service center to inform them that the car is acting the same way, the only difference is that now it doesn't stay at 20mph, this time it does speed after a few tries, but very abruptly
Upon acceleration onto highway or up a hill the car at times will rev and not shift or move /increase speed. Getting onto the highway I have had to pull into the shoulder until vehicle snaps out of it and decides to shift. Extremely dangerous & happening more often than not now.
Both rear doors are now non-working as the remote and the manual lock will not open the doors. The driver's side door broke first about two months ago and just this week the other rear door is not unlocking just as the other door did. Fortunately, this did not happen when I had my one and two year old grandsons in my car. My car is unfortunately out of warranty so now I have to pay big bucks for the dealership to repair this issue. As I've researched in the Hyundai Tuscon forums this fix by the dealership is often temporary and needs to be repaired multiple times as they continue to replace the part necessary with the same part that breaks down. I've got less than 70,000 miles on my vehicle. If this is not a safety issue, I'm not sure what is.
Airbag light on dealer says it needs replaced.
I have a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon Limited Turbo which I bought USED in August of 2018. The same week I left the lot I returned multiple times complaining that the car was hesitating and seemed like the transmission was having problems. The car would hesitate to go from a stop, several times leaving me and my infant (at the time) in the middle of intersections crossing traffic and unable to move. It almost got us SLAMMED multiple times. I explained this to them and they just kept telling me it was because of the turbo. I said NO ONE in their right mind would manufacture a car that goes fast at the cost of safety. That was insane to me but they kept sending me home. I returned over and over and over again for the entire 1st year I had the car with no resolution. Eventually, I also discovered issues if I had to brake hard, several times almost running into the back of people and on 08/08/2020 I actually DID slam into the back of someone. I got to eat the cost of the insurance claim - only later to find out that there was a recall on the ABS system which I believe caused the accident. In 2020 when the transmission died, they replaced it under warranty. It took 49 days to replace, meanwhile I have an infant and riding a bus and riding my bike everywhere because the dealer did not help me with a rental or loaner. Then a year later in the middle of 2021 the engine died which they replaced under warranty, this time providing me with a rental for only a short time of the month long situation. Also racked up tow and tow storage bills exceeding $500 because it broke down on a major road in the middle of the night. Now, on 03/11/2023 I heard a sound coming from the engine which sounded like a cat screaming, coupled with severe hesitation when trying to accelerate. Took it to the dealer and they refuse to fix it, said the warranty company declined it. Called Hyundai Corporate and they said the same thing. Called warranty company and they said NO ONE EVER SUBMITTED A CLAIM!!!!!
The passenger read doors lock up and become unoperable. So the doors cannot be opened from the outside or the inside. This creates a massive potentially tragic situation. If your children or a senior is in the back seat and a fire or an accident occurs they will not be able to leave the car from the rear doors. Let me make this very clear. The doors jam up and will NOT open from the inside or outside no matter what the lock position is in. Also, I see evidence online of this happening to a number of people. Hyundai did not issue a recall, but the indicated that they would fix it under "extended" warranty but when i brought it in (the door was frozen shut) they said this was something else and proceeded to charge me about $500 for the repair; $250 for the part and the same for the labor. This is a common problem and because of the seriousness involving injury and potential death this should have been recalled. How frightening is it to be locked in your car after an accident or fire?
Component: WIndow Regulators fail, leaving window in down position and unable to be closed. Safety issue: Weather and the elements can enter the car, there is risk that children can fall out of the open window, probably others. Has it been reproduced: My 2016 Tuscon needed its 5th window regulator replacement. I was fortunate that the first 4 were under warranty. It is evident that this is an inherent defect in the Hyundai Tuscon window design. This statement is backed up by the many comments on the Hyundai forum website: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/window-regulator-2016-hyundai-tucson.671843/ At this point every window regulator has been replaced once, and in the case of the drivers window, it was replaced twice. There was no warning that this failure would appear. This component has failed on the following dates: 6/4/2019, 10/30/2019, 1/2/2021 (2 windows), 3/29/2023.
THE WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STOPPED WORKING AND WAS STUCK DOWN. I HAD TO HAVE A LARGE PIECE OF THE DOOR REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE WAY THAT HYUNDAI MANUFACTURES THE PART WHICH CAUSED IT TO BE A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AS WELL. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER, THE BACK WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM.
THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN REGARDLESS OF THE LOCK/UNLOCK FUNCTION. IT IS THE MAIN DOOR THAT MY CHILDREN USE TO GET IN/OUT OF THE CAR FOR SCHOOL, ETC. I REPORTED THIS TO HYUNDAI AND THEY JUST SAID THEY THINK IT IS A LATCH DEFECT. NO ATTEMPT TO REPAIR.
In the last 6 months my driver side window, front passenger side window and back left side window have failed. To date it has cost over $1300, not including the newly defective rear passenger window. The dealer has no explanation, they act as if they have never seen this before. The explanation appears to be the plastic mechanism that turns the window up and down has disintegrated inside the door panel. Very faulty workmanship.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle almost stalled. The contact heard an abnormal popping sound. The contact stated that the vehicle began to lose motive power. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. The contact then smelled an abnormal burning odor. The contact stated that when she attempted to depress the brake pedal, the pedal became very stiff. The contact stated that the check engine and battery warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to pull off the roadway and the vehicle stalled. The contact had difficulty shifting the vehicle into park(P) and was unable to restart the vehicle. The contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed, and it was determined that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 17V226000 (Engine and Engine Cooling). The failure mileage was unknown.
2016 Hyundai Tucson was stolen on 3/23/2023 in Denver, CO. We were just at the dealership on 3/15/2023 in Edmond, OK and we were not notified of the issue of the vehicle being susceptible to being easily stolen due to the negligence of Hyundai. We were not offered a computer update or steering wheel lock. The dealership was negligent in not informing us of the issue with the engine immobilizer. Now we’re dealing with the aftermath of a stolen vehicle that was recovered damaged due the the negligence of Hyundai. They should have to cover expenses associated with their negligence. They knew about the issue with the lack of engine immobilizer.
When doors are unlocked, driver door outside handle will not open the door. It can be opened from the inside. No safety concern currently. Problem was reproducible by dealer technician and he stated he has a similar issue and showed me to hit below the handle with my fist. This is not a fix! When we took our Tucson for a warranty issue regarding the engine, we notified the technician of the problem and they failed to address the issue. This issue happened out of number-to-bumper warranty. I have read many forum articles by many owners that Hyundai will charge between &100 and $200 to diagnose the problem before fixing them charge for the component and labor to fix the issue. No warnings have appeared regarding the problem.
The issue that is prominently in other Hyundai cars is the rear back doors will not open to be released. The locks will unlock and lock and it has no correlation with key battery and power to the door; the issue is the latching mechanism itself. This is a hazard to those who need to get out of vehicle in serious and emergency situations and having a door failed on a latching mechanism is not okay. This is also an issue to parents or guardians who travel with kids and use the child safety lock, and there is not a proper solution to this issue without tearing the door apart and having that be paid out of pocket of their own expense because a door latching mechanism has failed them. The responsible owner of this situation needs to be addressed and resolved by Hyundai, itself.
Window regulator has broke in all 4 windows
In the past six months, three of the four window regulators on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson stopped working. Recently, one of my windows fell out while driving on the highway. Looks like this is a manufacturing defect as hundreds of complaints have been reported on the internet. The vehicle needs to be recalled as this seems to be a common problem in most 2016 Tucsons and poses significant risks while driving, especially on highways at high speeds. I’ve included some exact complaints for your reference here: https://www.vehiclehistory.com/questions/why-is-my-hyundai-tucson-2016-window-not-working-353123 I hope this problem gets resolved soon. Thank you.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the dealer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
Arrived home and went to open rear passenger door to remove recently purchased groceries and rear door will not open. I've tried locking, unlocking, trying to open from the inside and outside and door just won't open. Awaiting service appointment and diagnosis.
We never missed a service on the vehicle and with 1,000 miles until the next oil change the engine light came on. The oil had dried out with nothing leaking. The engine seemed to just be burning through oil far quicker then the recommended time to get your oil changed.
On the way to work this morning, the rear lift gate came unlatched and did not stay secure. Although the lift gate did not raise while on the highway, it did rattle and bounce. The temperature outside was approximately 21 degrees Fahrenheit. A couple other similar events have occurred at below freezing temperatures.
All 4 windows have a failed regulator. It's a plastic gear attached to the window motor. The windows do not stay up/closed. I am afraid they will fall and break while driving. The Hyundai dealership quoted 3,800 to repair them.
On Sunday, February 26, 2023, as I was en route to my home in Liberty Hill, Texas, I heard a noise from what seemed to be under the hood. The noise sounded somewhat like a card in bike spokes. No warning lights were lit. When I arrived home, I had a neighbor listen to the noise. His opinion was that it sounded like the rods & to take it to a mechanic. I had a friend take me to the nearest garage/mechanic on Monday to make an appointment. I took my car to Cross Tech Automotive at 8 am on February 28. The 5 miles to Cross Tech was the only time I drove the car after the initial noise on Sunday 2/26/2023. The technician remarked that it was crazy that no warning lights were on, given the noise made by my car. After the car was examined, I was told that my car had no oil in it. I had routine oil changes done throughout the time I owned the car since late 2015. In fact, I’d asked the mechanics to do an oil change while the car was in their facility. There were never any oil on my driveway to alert me to a problem. There had been no sign of any problem until the noise I heard 2 days prior. And never a warning light of any kind. I was given an estimate of $12,000.00 to replace the motor, including labor. Because it didn’t make sense to spend $12,000 on a vehicle that was likely worth $15,000 prior to this problem, it was necessary to buy a different car. After doing an internet search, I discovered that excess oil consumption appears to be a problem with 2016 Hyundai Tucsons, among other Hyundais and Kias. I was never made aware of any issues by Hyundai Motor Company. The technician who diagnosed the problem wrote a brief description of what he found. I can provide this description. The invoice was for the diagnosis not repairs of any kind.
Engine light came on Feb 26th car started shaking got it towed to the dealership morning of Feb 27th Was told: Foiled oil returning ring caused oil consumption, burning oil overheated valves and caused cylinder wall damage and 4 valves to burn holes in them leading to low engine compression and loss of power. Engine needs to be replaced to fully correct the issue. Hyundai is refusing to cover the cost because I am 2nd owner, even though my car has under 100,000 miles on it.
The vehicle engine stopped working while on the interstate. The oil, battery and engine lights all came on with no warning. I was able to safely pull aside in order to avoid an accident. The vehicle was towed to the dealership where it was diagnosed to be an engine block failure. After doing my research I learned that Hyundai had a Theta Engine Settlement from 2021 however my 2016 Hyundai Tucson was not listed in the settlement. The years that were affected skipped 2016 and 2017. Online I have found many 2016 owners with the same issue. The vehicles built in 2016 and 2017 also needed to be reviewed for faulty engine blocks. This is a safety hazard. My vehicle has been in the dealership awaiting a new engine for over 7 weeks. Hyundai says that part is on backorder. There has been so many vehicles in need of a new engine due to the faulty block that the manufacturer can't keep up. And we are stuck paying car rental fees.
My car is currently around 126,000 miles. I got a tune up last year. About a week ago the car started to jumping and driving very slowly while I was on the highway. The check engine light started flashing so I pulled over. After a few minutes I attempted to drive up and the car made it. I spoke with my mechanic and scheduled to bring it into him after getting the check engine light code read. The codes were related to a misfire on spark plug 2 and 4. I then had those replaced. When picking up the car, my mechanic let me know that the engine was producing metal shaving and they were getting on the spark plugs which was causing the issues to keep according. He let me know I would probably need a new motor. After doing some research I found Hyundai Tucson around my same year have a similar issue with the motor going out very early in the cars life. I’m not sure why they weren’t already included but I believe the 2016 Hyundai Tucson need to be investigated for the issues as well. The car is only worth $7,000 with a working motor so it doesn’t make sense to buy a new engine but I still own payment on this vehicle and it’s completely unfair for Hyundai to vehicles like this and not take accountability. I’m planning to get the code read on the car again and actually write down the number so I can reference it here for you information.
The door latch has failed on now 2 of my doors. The rear driver side door will not open from either the inside or outside and the front passenger door will not open from the outside without pulling the handle 5 to 7 times. I have looked at the other comments from other people with this car and this is a known issue, this should be made a recall since so many people are having the same issue.
Passenger rear doors fail to un-lock completely , so unable to open using outside handles and inside handles. Passenger rear door completely unusable , drivers side rear door works 50% of the time after several pulls on door handles. Will not fully unlock with any switches or key fob. Safety risk in case of accident with children in the back seats.
Cheap plastic regulator for the driver side window broke and can't roll up my window
I am referring to two notices; see attached. Inability to accelerate from a Stop and Rough idle in drive. The dealership, DeMontrond Hyundai Service Center will not repair as a recall. Please advise. Thank you, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX]. Due to this problem, the car is hesitant to accelerate which causes problems INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The Hyundai engine is defective and consumes oil at a rate of 5 quarts every 3,000 miles. It ran completely out of oil and left me stranded on the highway in rush hour traffic 3 hours from home. Several people were put at risk! No warning lights; no check engine and no oil light until the car stalled completely. I was able to add oil and get the car in limp mode to the dealership where they ran oil consumption tests, and it failed due to being 106k miles. The car was returned to me and I was told to watch the oil. Weeks later the car broke down again in the middle of the road. The spark plug tips were burnt completely off and there was a dime sized hole in a valve. Multiple mechanics outside of Hyundai agree that both the plugs and the valve damage are a direct result of the defective engine. Again, Hyundai has denied all claims and refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing on their part, despite the amount of claims, lawsuits and upset customers stacked against them.
There was a previous recall with some of these vehicles where car seems to have acceleration problem after being at stop and the vehicle has difficulty accelerating and shifting gears. This has happened while in the middle of traffic and driving which could have caused an accident. Not sure if it is something with the transmission or what the issue is. The vehicle has been taken twice to Hyundai Service centers and they cannot seem to find a problem but yet it still exists and is a safety hazard when suddenly the car stops accelerating after a stop. This seems to happen randomly and more often now. This was a previous recall for other same make, model and year vehicles but somehow ours was not included and I feel it is potentially having the same or similar issue. The vehicle is available for inspection. All the check engine and lights come on when the vehicle is turned off and then eventually turn off.
My vehicle is burning excessive amounts of oil and no leaks can be found. Almost one quart every 750 to 1,000 miles. The turbo went bad recently and had to be replaced at a cost of $1,400 which, I'm told, is possibly due to the oil consumption problem. All services have been done at Hyundai dealership every 3,000 - 5,000 miles. I travel the interstate every day and am worried about engine failure in rush-hour traffic. Dealership indicates the only thing they can do is replace engine at a cost of at least $12,000!!
Driver door power window control fails. Window won't go up or down while the window motor in the door can be heard operating. After the failure it is possible to manually pull the window glass up and down in it's track. The glass moves freely in it's track. The weight of the glass is sufficient to prevent the window from remaining closed, ie the glass drops down into the door if it is not held up. Window must be manually wedged or some how mechanically held in the closed position. This is an obvious theft concern if the vehicle cannot be locked. Problem identified; The power regulator drum is a plastic that deteriorates with time. The splines in the drum strip away and the power motor shaft spins freely in the drum, in both directions.
On December 27, 2022 I was driving on the highway (Interstate 64 in Illinois westbound exit 16) and my car's engine failed at around noon. It was working fine that morning. The car started giving a rattling sound and wasn't speeding up and the "low oil pressure" light came on. I got off the highway and as I was turning into a Valvoline the car completely stopped. It has been at a Hyundai dealership in St. Louis for the last month and a half and they do not feel this is something they are responsible for.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the front passenger’s side door and the rear driver’s side door would not open remotely or manually, from inside or outside the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The local dealer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 160,000. The VIN was not available.

I am having problems with the driver side door. The latch is not working properly. The door gets stuck and doesn't open all the time from the outside. Or I have to tug hard 2 to 3 times before it will open. I had this problem with the passenger side door. It would only open from the inside. Hyundai fixed this for free because it was still under warranty. Now I'm having the same issue with the driver side door. I read in all the reviews and comments that other people are having the same issue and have filed a complaint but nothing has been done. Why is this no getting solved? or Recalled? I bought my 2016 Hyundai new. It only has 43, 000 miles. I take good care of my Hyundai. What is Hyundai going to do to resolve this matter. How many people need to file a complaint in order to get this resolved? A response will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

2022 my wife's 2016 engine began making a noise. This was a known safety problem with the engines but a recall was never issued. Instead there was a lawsuit against Hyundai in 2020 and 2021 in which consumers were compensated for their cost, or received a new engine.However, her engine went out in 2022. She did not get that benefit. Hyundai paid for a portion and she had to pay a portion for a new engine. This should have been a recall! Now currently 2022 & 2023, Hyundai's alarm is defective which is causing theft, and car jackings. This too is a known safety issue and nothing is being done unless she pays $550 for a security feature to be added to the vehicle. This is a problem! Hyundai should pay for this! She read that the Kia and Hyundai vehicles at issue don’t come with an anti-theft device called an immobilizer, which uses a chip to authenticate a key against the car’s electronic control unit. An immobilizer, which can be found in most modern cars, prevents the vehicle from being started if the key is not detected. It’s also been reported that some of the windows in the affected vehicles may not be connected to the cars’ security system, meaning they can be broken without the alarm being triggered, per the case. It stated, these vulnerabilities have caused thieves to view Kia and Hyundai vehicles as “easy targets,” especially after a viral social media trend highlighted. Now State Farm announced they are not accepting new Hyundai customers. More than likely my insurance is going to increase and the value will decrease.I need this governing body to govern and have Hyundai right their wrong. Issue a recall and do what is best for the consumers and not the company! She has been in contact with Hyundai National Consumer Department and it appears that her communication efforts aren't successful. She purchased her first Hyundai Excel in 88.Our immediate family have since purchased four Hyundai's. DO THE RIGHT THING! ISSUE A RECALL. FROM A CONCERNED HUSBAND!
My used 2016 Hyundai Tucson Eco, 1.6 Turbo, currently with 118,000 miles has been consuming 1 quart of oil every 500 miles. Unfortunately, my 5 year warranty by mileage has passed. Since the vehicle warning system doesn't have a low oil light; if you don't stay vigilant checking the oil level dipstick, the engine could fail and seize up during usage without warning, not ideal while driving the vehicle on the highway, which this vehicle does frequently. The vehicle was inspected by a Hyundai dealership service department and Hyundai indicated we do not qualify for engine replacement because the mileage is too high. Nothing in written was provided, just verbal notification. About $1,000 was spent on "cleaning" the engine and replacing the spark plugs and other effected components, with no improvement on oil consumption. After researching on-line, several sites indicate this type of engine failure for our model is common for the type of engine and Hyundai is well aware of it. Why no recall then? Also saw a few articles that Canada has recently recalled several Hyundai motors for similar issues for replacement. A rebuilt engine is around $5,000; not an option for us at this time.
Engine started Knocking, check engine light came on and car went in to “limp mode”. Car needs new engine.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while accelerating, the vehicle started to lose motive power. The check engine warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and the mechanic retrieved fault code: P1326 (KSDS). The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the knock sensor detection system failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that she needed to provide proof of ownership. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
2016 Hyundai Tucson Front Right Passenger door latch does not allow door to be opened from the outside. No warning. Research shows this as a definite safety issue on several Hyundai models and has been for years but see no recall. Doors can be impacted from both inside and outside with no warning. Crawling over the seats from the inside to open the door or being trapped in vehicle are a real possibility. I have a scheduled appointment but understand it could be a costly repair that should be considered a replaceable manufacturer’s defects AND A SAFETY HAZARD!!!! Car only has 66,000 miles.
Rear liftgate did not latch on three occasions this winter when temperatures were below freezing down to -4 degrees. The liftgate would lower but not latch properly. Dash would indicate that lift gate was not latched. Attempts to latch manually were unable. During the drive home, the lift gate would moved freely. In order to not risk spilling cargo, we moved everything out of the trunk area.
Rear door on the driver's side will not open from the outside or the inside. This is a known problem but there is no recall. I called my local dealership and they won't guarantee that this is under warranty, and they won't give me an appointment for 6 weeks. Hyundai and it's Service Reps are clearly not concerned with their customers.
Has been happening for the last few years, but recently got worse: very difficult to get car to move forward from a dead stop, car would shudder like it was going to stall out. Took car to a Hyundai dealership on October 4, 2022, who were able to replicate the problem. Issue was for transmission to be replaced under drivetrain warranty. Once transmission had been replaced, there were no more problems with moving into first gear from a stop.
Unable to roll passenger window down using the power control on the driver's door. Took it to a Hyundai dealership for diagnosis and repair. It cost $506.67 to fix, driver front main window switch was replaced.
Driver's side passenger door sounds like it is unlocking when I use the key fob or the interior power lock on the driver's door, but the passenger door can only be opened if I reach from the driver's seat across the center console to manually open the door using the handle. No way to open the door from the outside using the outer handle, even if it looks like the lock is fully open from the inside. No dashboard warning symbols. This appears to be the subject of a technical service bulletin, Hyundai TSB 21-BD-006H, so I will be contacting my local Hyundai dealer next week to set up an appointment for diagnostics and repair, hopefully covered under the extended warranty described in the TSB.
The car started to shake while driving on the highway and it lost power causing it to slow down dramatically, the car driving behind almost hit my car. The issue started with the engine losing motor oil, the dealership said there were no oil leaks and maybe the head gasket needed to be replaced. After the incident one the highway, the car was towed to the closes dealership for service, after diagnosing it was determine that cylinders 1 and 2 are miss-firing and the piston were stuck making it loose compression. Dealer said that they have seen this before, but my VIN does not take part of a recall campaign with other cars having the same symptoms.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.
When driving the vehicle is slow to accelerate hence posing a risk of being rear ended. It makes loud noises when going down hill and it tends to slow down even when you're foot is on the gas pedal. This is a concern for me since I have a small child that rides with me to and from school. The passenger a d driver doors jam on multiple occasions. The non acceleration especially when merging on highways or after traffic light stops is very dangerous since the person behind has no idea what's happening. When you stop the vehicle on a hill at a traffic stop and it's time to go on green the vehicle tends to pull back abit before accelerating, making the person behind wary of being hit. The loud noises made by the vehicle especially driving down a hill are just annoying, if you break to go slower, the noise is even louder. The lack of acceleration and jamming that the vehicle has me very worried for my safety and that of my young child, since we use the vehicle everyday for school drop offs and pickups and work. I am wary of driving it for any other reason that that which isn't fair because I pay for the car each month!!
The automatic windows broke in all 4 windows and I am unable to roll down my windows in the case of an emergency. The dealer confirmed this is an issue. This is a known issue on the 2016 Tucson.
Earlier last year (a few months after purchase), I took my vehicle in for a routine oil change and was informed there was barely any oil in the vehicle. The prior oil change occurred less than 3500 miles before, plus there were no warning lights. After this occurred a second time (only 2600 miles between changes), the dealership recommended a series of oil consumption tests. I was informed the vehicle failed and the information would be provided to corporate. HMA (corporate) declined to address the issue as I was the 2nd owner and purchased the vehicle outside of warranty mileage, 60k. Vehicle was purchased with under 61k miles. With a recent oil change, I was informed that it is a matter of time before my engine fails. I do not know when this will occur and the vehicle gives me NO warning that the oil is low.
I heard a knocking sound on the morning on 1/6/22, immediately took it to a Hyundai (Capital Hyundai) dealership who informed me it was a known issue they are having to rebuild tons of engines. They would not be able to even look at my car for a few weeks, but I needed to leave it because the engine could seize at any moment. While thy offer loaner vehicles, I wasn't eligible because of the time before they even could look at my car. After paying to rentals out of pocket for two weeks, I received a call today to tell me that because I'm not the original owner (I'm the 2nd owner) they are not honoring the rebuild and I could pay them $8300 plus and additional $2500 to repair their known issue that their Service manager acknowledged. Not to mention Hyundai recent class action lawsuit in 2021. If that wasn't enough, I just received a call from Hyundai corporate office to say sorry if you were the original owner, we could help. I asked the representative if it was a company practice to use that as a deterrent from acknowledging their design/mechanical fault to save cost and she said I'll make a note of that. Is there anything I can do? My vehicle has been serviced every 3000 miles and I have my records. Considering contacting my attorney as well
Engine failure while going 70mph on the highway - huge safety issue! Spark plugs totally covered in oil and the engine has major known oil consumption issues. Also 3 of our 4 door actuators broke - huge safety issues as we have kids in our back seats in car seats. This form doesn't have enough room for the letter I have composed about the specifics of the situations. Hyundai has known issues with their engines and some are under recall. We were told ours is not under recall and they will not fix it or help at all to fix it even though many of their engines have/had the same issues as ours and those engines are under recall.
Put the car in Drive and car failed to move with motor revving. Car finally moved about 20 mph max. Attempted to shift the car in and out of gear as well as shut it off and problem still existed. Got it home and made arrangements for tow truck to haul to dealer. In moving it the next day to prepare for tow truck the transmission worked normally and drove it to the dealer. Dealer could not duplicate the problem so they said there hands were essentially tied. Did and internet search on 2016 Tuscon DCT transmission problems and found the problem is very common. Hyundai attempted to address it with a computer update which this car has had. Many people have been placed in very dangerous situations with this problem. No warning lights were displayed despite the car being essentially undriveable . This is a known safety issue which should be addressed by the manufacturer. A car that suddenly becomes undriveable in traffic or leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere is definitely a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle entered drive-safe mode with the check engine warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was discovered that the engine was extremely low on oil. The contact was informed that the knock sensor and spark plugs needed to be replaced. Upon retrieving the vehicle, the contact noticed that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for an oil change and the mechanic informed him that the oil consumption issue was related to an unstated TSB. The mechanic referred the contact to the manufacturer to report the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was filed. The manufacturer then referred him to another dealer for an oil consumption test. Once at the dealer, the vehicle did not pass the oil consumption test. The contact was also informed that the pistons were failing; however, the engine could not be replaced under warranty until the engine completely failed. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the possession of the dealer. The failure mileage was 72,856.
While driving on an interstate the engine lost power and I pulled over to the shoulder. Popped the hood and the engine cover was blown back and the engine was on fire! Had 3 passengers, dog, and luggage in the car. Was able to get most out before the fire spread. Left family stranded hours from home on side of interstate. Unsure of exact cause of the engine fire. Fire spread to entire car before fire department came to put it out.
The vechicle was recalled for door locks that failed to work. Within weeks 3 of the automatic windows failed. One of the windows won't stay closed and can be easily opened by anyone simply pressing on the window and pushing it down. Its impossible to lock the vehicle for protection. The other windows won't roll down its impossible to use them to exit the vehicle in an emergency.
I was driving my vehicle on Highway 45 North in Spring Tx and my engine caught on fire while driving, my Tucson was on fire and started smoking i had to pull over and getvhelpp
Engine knocking and loosing power under acceleration.
The windows stop working. Mine has been replaced twice with 15K miles. when you cant roll up your windows it leaves you exposed to be car jacked in a big city, or objects to fly in the car, which could hurt the driver.
The contact's husband owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door was unable to open from inside or outside the vehicle. Additionally, the driver's side rear passenger door was also unable to open. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 45,000.
Inability to move the vehicle while in traffic, other 2016 Hyundai Tucsons have a recall for this problem. However, mine does not under my VIN, and the same exact thing is happening as described in 2016 Hyundai Tucson powertrain recall. (16V628000). My car doesn’t want to go when I stop at stoplights right away, leading to a risk of an accident. No warning signs prior to problem. Noticed a few weeks after purchasing my car in October of 2021.others in car have noticed as long with maintenance people have driven it.
While driving on the highway, traveling about 70mph, check engine light comes on and car looses power. No previous warning signals, smells, smoke, exhaust, drive behavior. Dealership said the piston ring on cylinder 2 is almost completely broken and the repair is a full engine replacement. Dealership has quoted me $18,000 for the repair, which is what I paid when I bought it used in 2019. At this point, I'm dealing with catastrophic engine failure and Hyundai won't do anything about their faulty product and is seeking to take full advantage. Insurance won't cover it and the car is out of warranty. I have never owned a worse car than this Hyundai. It's the final straw in a list of issues I've had with the car since I purchased it.
Transmission is defective. Car wanted to override my foot braking at lights & stop signs. The potential for the car to force me into traffic or a vehicle or wall in front of me made for a hazardous situation. Coconut Creek Hyundai Service Department (via [XXX]) stated the transmission had an internal failure & must be replaced. I do not know if the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others have inspected the transmission -- I am only aware that Coconut Creek Hyundai Service Department has inspected it. There were no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. It first appeared in early November 2022. I tried to make an appointment & could not so I took it to the dealership on November 8, 2022. I bought this car from Coconut Creel Hyundai as Certified Used on September 6, 2019. Coconut Creek Hyundai in Coconut Creek, FL 33073 has had my car since Nov. 8, 2022. They replaced the defective transmission with another defective transmission the 1st week of December. I have had to pay out of my pocket for a rental car. Today is December 14, 2022. The least Hyundai can do is provide a car for me. The dealership has not done so. Hyundai USA (Case #: [XXX]) has not. My warranty only covers 10 days at $35.00 per day. A rental that I can use cost $40/day. I waited until December 1, 2022 to rent hoping my car would be fixed within a reasonable amount of time. My 10 days & my patience with this corporate pass the buck attitude has ended. I have no idea if the dealership got another new transmission or if they have installed it. This dealership has major communication issues. HyundaiUSA has lost a 3-time Hyundai owner. I just hung up with supervisor [XXX] from HyundaiUSA & she cannot authorize payment for a rental car nor speak to my case manager ([XXX]) about rental car payment/reimbursement. I have been without my car since Nov. 8, 2022. I stopped using my car Nov. 3, 2022 because it was too dangerous to do so.

Similar to the recall for Hyundai's newest vehicles with its dual clutch system, and to its recall for the 2016 Tucson my vehicle will be unresponsive when we accelerate, delayed or no acceleration, jerking, shuddering, shaking, and stalling. Not sure if this issue was covered under [XXX] et al, v. Hyundai Motor America. We had been complaining of the way my 2016 Hyundai Tucson ([XXX]) was driving since Apr 2019 (32,299 miles), and again Mar 2021 (44,857 miles), and on both instances we were told that was normal operation because of the car's dual clutch system. Now that the car has passed the warranty period (5 year/60,000 miles), Hyundai is telling us we have to replace the dual clutch, and that they're not covering it because the vehicle is now outside of the warranty period.

My car was doing a shocking change of speed all of a sudden, for example I would be driving and accelerating, but the car would not speed above 40mph, and while I was still pressing on the accelerator, it would do like a shocking movement and accelerate all of sudden. Yesterday, December 8th, 2022, I was driving on the highway on the 3rd lane and while driving the call did a shocking jump and all of a sudden the speed went down to 20mph, I panic of course because all the cars where going fast, it was a nightmare for me to change lanes because I couldnt manipulate the speed of my car.
Driver side door doesn't unlock using KeyFob or by pressing the button to unlock. It takes several attempts before door opens which causes a great concern for safety especially in areas that will require me to hurry and get into my vehicle if I'm alone or after putting my grandson in his carseat. There were no warnings to this happening and it is available for inspection upon request. At this time my car is not under warranty due to warranty running out and I can not afford to pay out of pocket. Please advise what can be done.
The contact’s daughter owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that his daughter took the vehicle for routine maintenance for an oil change however, the contact’s daughter was informed that gasoline was seen in the oil. No warning light was illuminated. The contact then stated that he took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no fuel was seen in the oil. The contact then stated that he took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that gasoline was in the oil. The contact was concerned for his daughter’s safety while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,000. The VIN was not included.
This vehicle model (Hyundai Tucson) is prone to breakdowns in power windows, especially front power windows, due to faulty gear in window regulator unit. Online forums are all complaining about this issue and the replacement part (regulator unit with motor) is being sold on Amazon and Ebay, a sure sign of high demand for the part. This is a dangerous safety issue as the first route of escape in an accident when door cannot be opened is the front windows. The cost to replace the part with labor is around $500 per window so many owners will rather live with the potentially dangerous issue without making repairs. There should be a recall issued by Hyundai to repair inoperable windows and to reimburse owners who have already made repairs.
Without any warning, previous issues or unusual sounds, the REAR, passenger window would not roll up. I had a child in the backseat at the time, which was the first concern and the second being a security issue after the fact. In addition, after doing some research it sounds as though this is an ongoing issue with the Hyundai's (all windows) and should be considered for Manufacture Recall. Lastly(just as an "FYI")the replacement parts can not be found for the REAR window specifically which further confirms that the window motor &/or regulator in the Hyundai's are faulty.
Car having issues accelerating, switching gears and will not move when gear is in reverse.
The check engine light came on, on my dashboard, so I took my car to Honest-1 Auto Care (certified mechanic), on Oct 18 (I could get in faster with Honest-1.) The manager printed off a Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin, dated April 2022, entitled Engine Warranty Extension (TXXM). He explained that I needed a new engine, and that I had to take it to the Dealership. I drove directly to the Hyundai dealership. They were very busy that day, but the manager told me I could bring my car in for evaluation the following Saturday morning. I drove carefully, because my car didn't have a lot of acceleration. As I was driving to work, early on Oct 21, in the cold and in the dark, my car slowed down dramatically and completely stopped. I was able to restart it and coast into a nearby parking lot. Then my car was towed to the dealership, where it remains still, awaiting a new engine. I was lucky there wasn't much traffic the morning my car died. I still get upset, when I think of what might have happened, if my car had died on the interstate or in the middle of a dangerous intersection. At no time, did the dealership say this warning light/situation was potentially dangerous, even though I showed the manager the Hyundai Technical Service Bulletin.
There have been several incidents where my Hyundai Tucson could have caused a major accident with another vehicle. The first time, I was driving down a hill and I barely could control the car. It began to jerk and I had to gradually steer it into another lane out of traffic. Another time, the oil just began to spout out from under the car while I was driving. It's still difficult keeping oil in the car, but the mechanic says there's no leak. Lastly. my engine light has been blinking off and on , and the mechanic changed the spark plugs and a number 2 coil, but I am still having engine problems. I was given the engine code P1326 from their diagnosis. Since purchasing the car with only about 43000 miles, I have had to replace the transmission, catalytic converter. get a tune up, spark plugs and a coil, and get the drivers side window fixed. All of this has come to over $5000, and now I'm told the engine needs to be replaced. Something about the camshaft.
When locking all doors and then unlocking doors the passenger door will not open from the outside. You can open it from the inside however in an accident or fire, no one could open this door. Very dangerous and I have seen numerous complaints about the door locking/latch issues
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on three separate occasions, the window regulator for the front driver’s, front passenger’s, and rear driver’s side windows failed to operate as designed. The contact also stated that once the window regulators failed, the window would slide down independently while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer after each failure and the window regulators were replaced out of pocket. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The vehicle was also out of warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 28,000. The contact has had all 4 window motors replaced as well as purchased an extended warranty for the vehicle. The contact has notified by Hyundai that other Tucson owners were experiencing the same issues.
Window regulators failing on all windows. Drivers side is stuck open and will not close. All others are stuck closed and will not go down.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The contact stated that after several seconds the vehicle continued to operate normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed; however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The failure persisted. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 2,400.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH, the vehicle began to stall and he saw smoke coming out from underneath the hood of the vehicle. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and quickly exited the vehicle. The contact waited several minutes. The contact stated that upon opening the hood of the vehicle, he saw flames. The contact was able to extinguish the fire by shutting the hood closed. The contact stated that in the process of exiting the vehicle, he bumped his knee and twisted his ankle and received care from his caregiver. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced under an unknown recall. However, the contact stated that after the repair, the vehicle was experiencing rough starts and the engine was misfiring while driving. The vehicle was taken to a second dealer, Ron Tonkin Hyundai (675 NE Burnside Rd, Gresham, OR 97030), where it was diagnosed that the cylinder was misfiring. The dealer replaced the fuel injector, the spark plugs, and the cylinder head, and completed an oil change. However, the engine was knocking upon starting the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and advised the contact that he would need to pay an Engine Control Unit (ECU) repair fee. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.
Driver-side rear door fails to open from the inside or the outside. Currently, the passenger seated on that side of the vehicle has to enter and exit the vehicle using the door on the opposite side, which can easily be a safety issue. Thankfully, we have not been in an emergency incident or car accident where someone has had to use that door to get out of the car in a hurry. The failure to unlock the door and open seems to stem from an actuator mechanism that is faulty. (The same issue/complaint has been mentioned by other owners, including failure of more than one door latch, e.g. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/help-16-tucson-limited-intermittent-door-unlock-fob-issue.690557/#post-6162832; https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/tucson/door-latch-problems.php, ) I contacted the local Hyundai dealer about this issue and was only able to get an appointment two months out (which will be tomorrow)! I will have more details regarding the repair associated with this issue after my appointment. But it seems like this should be a safety related recall given the potential danger of being trapped in a vehicle in the event of an emergency or an accident.
The window regulator spool has melted on all 4 windows. This vehicle has less than 65000 miles and this should not be an issue. This is a safety issue. We have read hundreds of comments online of the same issue.
On Oct. 14, 2022 I had to take my car in to repair/replace front passenger side window regulator. The window no longer would go up and down. $807.51. Yesterday, Oct. 20 my driver's side front window failed. Another $807 repair. I am a senior citizen (woman) on a fixed income also experiencing recent Ian hurricane damage and repairs. Am I to expect the rest of the windows to fail? Do I have some recourse with Hyundai?
Passenger Front door will not open from exterior upon unlocking. Can only open door from inside vehicle by reaching over and releasing inside lever.
Car suddenly lost significant acceleration power in normal conditions. According to Hyundai dealer inspection, the rod bearing failed and pressure in the engine was lost. Safety risk was causing an accident because of loss of power. No accident occurred due to being so close to the right shoulder. This would have been far more dangerous if this was on a 6-7 lane highway causing major accidents due to being an obstacle to normal traffic flow. No warning lights or lamps were displayed before incident.
Window stuck in down position - forums full of this defect with repairs costing $500+ per window; windows protect you from weather and debris and when stuck up or down present a safety hazard.
Rear passenger door became unable to be opened. Started out as only a some times issue, but the door can no longer be opened at all. I had a previous car, same year, make, and model that had the same thing happen to both rear passenger doors. Both times it happened the car was still under warranty so I did not have to pay to fix it. That car was totaled and now I have this one. This car is no longer under warranty now though. So this is the 3rd time this problem has happened between 2 cars that I have had that are the same year, make, and model
i have taken my car in to dealership a few times over the last couple years,Complaining about excessive oil burning and loss of power.The last time,The dealership told me the catalyc converter was clogged.I had it repaired but asked Dealership,If engine doesnt get repaired itll happen again.they told me its fine and engine was fine.Well,It isn't fine and went and spoke to a few auto repair shops and they told me if car is under warranty,Car needs to go back to dealershipto have engine looked at and repaired..I feel I'm definitely getting the run-around.I can not keep replacing a catalyc converter every year and the problem not being fixed.the situation of losing power while driving is putting myself and family at risk.this is very concerning and life threatening.Im still well within my warranty and feel unsafe and ripped off.
Car is burning engine oil at the rate of one quart a week after normal city driving. Usual and frquent oil changes and almost dry when going in for every 3000 miles oil change. Took to a private (non-Hyndai) mechanic shop Christian brothers in Colorado and told that perhaps that my car had some engine damage or problems due to burn of engine oil and not leaking. Next car began to have engine check light go on and off with never staying on for more than one day. Called Hyundai dealership and told that light had to be on solid and complete for inspection. This week car starting misfiring and dragging when acclerating. Black smoke coming out of exhaust and check engine light illuminated and stayed on. Could not get into delaership until November of 2022 and currently September of 2022. Once again took car to Christian Brothers for diagnostics and told car was full of carbon and misfiring and told unsafe to drive and would not work on car as they believed that engine was damaged/defective and needed to be replaced. Made appointment with PLanet Hyundai in Golden, Colorado where I purchased the car brand new. October 20th is my appointment and car will need to be towed. Undriveable and needing car to work to see my autistic clients in their homes. Final event with engine and misfiring happened at 104,000 just past the warranty time even though no one would look at the car despite my former complaints and concerns prior to the warranty expiration.
last June at about 82k miles my car started making a knocking noise while in town. Decided to drive the short distance home and right as I pulled in the driveway the engine light flashed briefly but didn't stay on. First thing I did was check the oil and there was no oil in the engine at all. Called all around to dealers and since this was in the middle of the pandemic it was a nightmare and I had to wait like 4 weeks and get the car towed twice to a shop that had the shortest wait. The car had regular oil changes and wasn't overdue for an oil change. There was no oil spots that would suggest it had been leaking and zero smoke to show it was burning off the engine at any time, there also was no check oil light that came on at any time to warn that the oil was low. I wasn't able to be provided a loaner until they could diagnose the vehicle and confirm it wasn't my negligence. Turns out this is a regular issue with this model/engine. I can't imagine what it would have been like had I been driving 70mph down the freeway. Now the engine is at 101k miles and it came with only a 10k 12 month warranty and it is now going through a quart of oil every 1k miles it seems. Have an appointment AGAIN to have it looked at in but not until the first of November. So now I have to check my oil all the time to make sure it doesn't run dry again...
Window motors, modules and regulators go out frequently (shortly after warranty ends). This usually happens one window after another in short time & is a very costly fix of $500+ per window.
Window regulators inoperative on front left window and passenger window on 2016 Hyundai Tucson with only 23,635 miles. Windows remained in down position creating a dangerous driving condition. Prior to this, windows were only opened occasionally for drive up banking or pharmacy drive up.
My 2016 Hyundai Tuscon 1.6 liter Turbo threw a rod when I was driving home. All service lights turned on and we pulled over immediately just in time for the car to shut off completely. We had to push the car into a parking spot and saw that all of the oil had fallen out of the bottom. I have approximately 113k miles on the car. I have been religious with my service and maintenance. It was late at night and we were on a 2 lane levy road. Thank goodness the second the lights came on we were in front of 1 of the 2 spots in a 9 mile stretch to pull off. This was extremely scary and dangerous. We had the car towed to the nearest shop where they inspected it and let me know that they have seen several other Hyundai's come through with the same issue and they directed me to take it to the closest Hyundai Dealership so they could take care of it. It has been at Dublin Hyundai where they looked it over and neglected to cover the issue. It is still there now. Dublin Hyundai confirmed that I do need a new motor. They said that they will not cover it due to "Extreme Neglect" due to the Car Fax report. I am currently seeking out the rest of my maintenance records that were not reported. There are a total of 10 oil changes over the course of the past 5 years not reported but that have most definitely been done. There were no symptoms of this problem prior to the failure. This is my third Hyundai in a row and I have never had any issues prior. I have always been a happy Hyundai owner until now. I am beyond disappointed with the way that this case has been handled and would greatly appreciate assistance in learning my next steps to a resolution of repair or replacement.
Three out of the four window regulators quit working over a two year period not all at once. The window motor and regulator still work, they just strip at the gear to lift them.
The Vehicle is a 2016 Hyundai Limited 1.6 Turbo. Back around the first part of May, we were driving down the interstate when the vehicle lost power, the check engine light came on, and the engine began to vibrate. The engine is also burning oil. There were no warning signs prior to the incident and the lights did not come on until the incident occurred. We took it to a dealership and they did a compression test. I was told, I would need a new engine. There has since been a recall on Hyundai engines, having the same issues mine has, but they did not include my vehicle in the recall. The 1.6 Turbo engine that my vehicle has, seems to be the same engine as the Hyundai Veloster which has been recalled. They also included the 2017 Hyundai Tucson in this recall. The vehicle in its current state is not safe to drive as it loses power while you are driving. This vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
The main power switch to the power windows is not operating properly. After extensive research into the problem I have noticed this is a frequent issue on the 2016 Hyundai Tucson. A severe thunderstorm had started and when I tried to put the passenger side rear window up it would not work. Now the front passenger window is doing the same thing. The individual switches work but not the main switch on the driverside door. It brings the window down but will not go back up. I have to use the actual window switch on that door to raise them back up. I have not been to the dealer yet about this issue but feel there needs to be a recall for this item as 100's of other owners are complaining of the same issue on Hynudai forum sites. The 2016 Hyundai Tucson model has been the center of several other recalls and I feel this needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Driver Door and right rear door are having issues opening. Unable to open right rear passenger door at all which is a safety concern. Hyundai dealer stated nothing was wrong when I first reported the front door handle issues
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the RPM increased; however, the vehicle failed to respond. There was no warning light illuminated. There was an update performed on the transmission control module before; however, the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing; however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 5,000.
Regulators and motor breaking in all windows without use. I can’t get a safety inspection with them not working. Many complaints on the internet. If I can’t get a safety inspection, this should constitute a recall.
My engine started stalling on me and has loss of power then out of nowhere I started getting a knocking noise which was followed by a check engine light. I had a oil light flashing before this occurred but oil level was good. Changed oil and filter and noise persisted along with stalling making it hard to drive anywhere safely. I haven't had it taken anywhere because I see this is a known issue on hyundai vehicles and newer models have recalls out on them. My vehicle only has 38,000 miles and shouldn't be having engine issues already.
Vacuum pump was recalled back in 2019 - T3C: TL Tucson Vacuum Pump (19-01-010H). My car was “repaired” to fix the seal/cap. However, today the vacuum pump needs to be replaced. The engine light, brake assist and traction control lights all came on and stayed on. After talking with Hyundai it appears as though back when the recall occurred, the minimum was repaired and proper replacement of the part was not taken. Hyundai says they are no longer required to remedy the problem because they already addressed the recall back in 2019. Is there any action enforceable to take toward Hyundai to honor a complete repair of the recall rather than just slap a band-aid on it?
Both the rear driver side and rear passenger side door lock actuators have failed, making it impossible to open either door from inside or outside the vehicle. This is very dangerous in general, but especially young children are in the backseat.
While back out of my driveway in my 2016 hyundai tucson, it suddenly accelerated on its own out of control rendering me helpless and just along for the ride. Finally stopped while in reverse the car went across the street crashing violently into my neighbors boat and engine was still reving until I shut it off after the crash. Both my car and neighbors boat had major damage.
on multiple occasions the transmission failed to engage at slow speed then lunges forward when it does. it happens when your at a stop accelerate slowly to about 10 mph get off the accelerator then re-apply it. the engine revs but the transmission acts like it goes into neutral then catches a gear and lunges forward. It is unsafe because the driver behind you can hit you from behind, which almost happened to me, or you can hit the car in front of you when it lunges or worst hit a pedestrian because of the unpredictability of the transmission/ engine power engagement. The so called fix was a software issue that didn't fix it. mine still has it and when i told the dealer they said they couldn't duplicate the problem BUT it has happened so many times to me that i can make it fail. Hyundai should be accountable for this but no one ever listens to the consumer until its to late. it asks below when it happened but it started shortly after i purchased the car and happened multiple times. but the one i absolutely remember was when i had my daughters in the car right after my daughters birthday.
I have a 2016 hundai Tucson limited 1.6 l turbo and have had a lot of problems with this car when I merge on a highway I put the foot on the gas and the car doesn’t move even though I have the foot to the floor and when I’m in stop and go traffic the car jerks like it wants to stall I brought the car to the dealership and told them what the problem is they could not duplicate my issue and they said there is nothing wrong with it and also they didn’t find any codes on the computer, next week I’m bringing my car back to the dealership for the same problem and I bet that they are not going to find any problems again. I’ve been driving over 45 years and never had this problem with any other car’s that I have owned, I’m afraid that one of this days I’m going to get hit from behind. I hope that the manufacture puts a recall on these cars soon, I’m ready to sell my car and never ever buy another Hyundai again.
Rear passenger door suddenly would not open from either the inside or outside. My child was in the car, and I could not get him out for some time. This was a safety concern even without an accident or emergency, and creates a potentially fatal situation if there is an accident or fire where a child would need to be retrieved from the vehicle. From internet searches, this is not an isolated incident, and should be addressed by the manufacturer. As a note, this is in addition to, and distinct from, the known issue of the front doors wearing out and not opening from the outside.
2 separate issues - oil is being consumed at alarming rate- not burning off and not leaking just disappearing at a rate of a quart every 200 miles -brake pedal is vibrating and clicking up while breaking, then goes straight to floor causing driver to release brake and then repress while stopping
Rear drivers side door latch stopped working unprovoked. The door was working fine and was parked for the night. The next morning the rear drivers side door would not open from inside or outside upon unlocking doors. This is a safety concern due to the fact that in the event of an accident emergency services would have a difficult time accessing the rear passenger area of the vehicle delaying any medical attention that would possibly be needed in the event of an accident.
Right Rear Tail Light Wiring Harness has short. Since right turn single bulb replaced twice, Passenger side rear door window stripped the Teflon Gear on door Interior panel and door handle is not operational! Since problem started, passenger door handle and window is non Operational, Drivers side door and Window is Not Operational! 2016 Hyundai Tucson with 31,000 miles! Dealership, Billingsley Hyundai and Ford refuse to repair saying it’s out Of Warrenty February’22! Vehicle has an electrical short and has had since 2019 when Right Turn Signal bulb continues to burn out!
I have made multiple complaints to Jenkins Hyundai of leesburg about my car hesitating and not going like it should and almost causing multiple accidents because it wouldn’t go when it should. However, they stated nothing was out of the ordinary and to just drive it in sport mode. Well I’m December of 2020, the turbo went out while driving home. They then wouldn’t fix it until I had a friend state that her dad worked at a diff location and that it was covered under warranty. They told me they had to do an investigation to see if it was covered under warranty or not. They kept my car for a few weeks before I got a phone call on New Year’s Eve stating my car was ready for pick up. Meanwhile, there was an active recall with the brakes from September of 2020, that they in fact did not fix while having my vehicle there. Fast forward to June 9, 2022, and my turbo went out again and there is water mixed with the oil in my car. I have made multiple reports along with others on the transmission issues and now making a report on the turbo. These vehicles are not safe, I don’t understand why they have not been recalled for these issues.
Door locks do not unlock. Cannot get out of the car from inside and cannot get in to the car from the outside.
i have a 2016 hyundai tucson and now that the vehicle is almost paid for, i am having issue with the blinker. when i put the let or right blinker on it stops blinking, also, my car smells like something is burning. i take good care of my car, i do routine maintenance on it when it is require, i have regular oil changes. i am taking to a hyundai shop this weekend
While driving the car started making a clicking noise. Then shortly after the noise started, the car would no accelerate over 40mph. Once pulled over after this, we discovered that there was no oil in the engine. There have been no signs of oil loss and we also get our cars oil changed regularly and we were towards the end and already had an oil changed scheduled. There were also no warring lights that ever became illuminated while this all happened so we had no idea of the issues until the car was already seizing up. This seems to be a common issue with 2016 Hyundai Tucson’s
Rear driver side door will not open from the inside or outside while unlocked.
My car would not accelerate over 20mph took into dealership in 5/2021 with 75,000 miles I was told I needed a new Catalyst converter I replaced it. My oil started leaking in 10/2021 was told my oil pan gasket needed resealed I completed it. In April of 2022 I was recommended to get oil pan gasket resealed still. In July of 2022 my car slows down then stop on expressway. It starts back up I’m only able to go 20m0ph on the expressway this is not safe at alll with my children in the car it was very scary. Dealership finally has an appointment 8/9 diagnoses car 8/11 stating my Catalyst Converter is clogged and need replacement that caused my car to stop and slow down as well as I need oil pan gasket burning oil/leaking oil. This is a safety problem the car is not 10yrs old and has less than 100,00 miles to stop without warning lightsss or anything on a moving fast expressway could have caused me and my kids life. This issue need to be taken serious and inspected because I continue to have the same issues with the car a little over a year!!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle hesitated to respond while the RPM gauge was at 5000 RPM. Additionally, the vehicle emitted an abnormally loud sound and there was smoke coming from underneath the hood. The contact veered to the side of the road and noticed a trail of coolant and oil leak on the highway. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.
My car seemed to be lagging severely when accelerating and then started coughing when accelerating and the check oil light came on even though I had plenty of oil and had just had it changed. I took it into the dealership and they said that the check engine light was also flashing just so fast I couldn’t see it. Several engine cylinders were apparently misfiring but it wasn’t covered by warranty. They installed new spark plugs and cleaned something to do with the fuel system and told me that would “be the starting place” several hundred dollars in. It worked fine. Fast forward 4 months I take it in for its regular oil change and mention how it’s been lagging again and here we go again. Same issue. According to my local mechanic a lot of these engines end up needing to be replaced completely to resolve the issue.
Door handles on vehicle not working. When you go to pull back on the door handle it won’t open. I couldn’t get my Nephew out of the car. Very frightening. Had to crawl through the hatch to get to him. It started one day with my driver door and I had to pull back at least twice or more before it opens. Now the front passenger’s side door will not open unless pulling the handle from inside to let them in. Back doors are not wanting to open from outside. The day my Nephew was trapped no door would open. Thank god the hatch opened. This is a serious safety issue. Makes me nervous that one day I won’t be able to open my car doors from the inside too. I had trouble with that yesterday on the front passenger door. I don’t have kids and it’s just me a single lady that lives 5 minutes from work. I typically don’t have kids in my vehicle, this was the first time. Made me look like a bad auntie putting my brother’s child in danger. There is hardly any wear on my vehicle, so there must be an issue with the door handles in general.
Window motors and regulators are prone to failure. All 4 of the window motors/regulators have failed within the past year. Apparently the regulator is made of plastic and falls apart easily. As a result, the windows can no longer be operated, and they can be moved up and down by hand from the exterior of the vehicle. Safety is at risk because the integrity of the windows are compromised. In some cases windows will fall down during normal operation of the vehicle. No warning lamps were illuminated during this failure. Note another complaint here: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/window-regulator-2016-hyundai-tucson.671843/
3 of the 4 doors of my 2016 Hyundai Tucson are suddenly unable to be opened from the outside or the inside. There has been no damage to the vehicle. The driver door is able to be opened at this time. This is a major safety issue as passengers are not able to exit the vehicle in the case of an emergency/children passengers are not able to be removed from the vehicle. This seems to be a widespread issue for 2016 Hyundai Tucson customers. Internet thread included below: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/Discussion-t57988_ds1084478
The passenger door will not open after being unlocked
While driving, the driver seat adjusted causing my seat to move up to the steering wheel. At the time I was on the expressway. I was too terrified to scream, I had to pull over to catch my breathe before I could continue driving to get home. I took my car to Hyundai and the service man stated that it didn't happen when he drove it and that they didn't find anything wrong. I filed a complaint before and never heard anything back. The car seat still adjusts. I don't drive it as much now.
All 4 window regulators have failed. The first two were replaced by dealer, but now are refusing to replace other two. Windows will not stay shut. Have them wedged up with small pieces of carpet. The back two doors will not open either. They said they are fixing those.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, a clicking noise was present coming from the steering column while turning the steering wheel in either direction. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who indicated the ticking noise was caused by loosened steering column bolts. The bolts were re-torqued and the failure was remedied. The contact indicated that approximately 40,000 miles later the ticking noise reoccurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the steering column bolts had loosened again. The bolts were again re-torqued and the failure was remedied. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 14,037. The consumer stated the 2nd occurrence happened on 07/20/2022 at 55,053 miles.
Air Bag light is staying on constantly. Took it to the dealer and said it is the Air bag control module. Not covered under extended warranty. Called Hyundai and they said not covered since vehicle is at 69,000 miles. Noticed Hyundai has recalls for air bag modules on other vehicles.
Back passenger door will not open from time to time from the outside or inside. It unlocks and everything but you have to keep trying before it opens. I looked this up and it is common for the 2016 Hyundai Tucson. This is a defect that can be dangerous under certain circumstances.
I have been finding when going for an oil change, the mechanic is stating that my vehicle has no oil in it, no signs of a leak, and this has occurred multiple times in last couple months. Now I check oil once a week and finding more often then not my oil is low and I need to add oil. not once has any warning light come on. What irritates me most is if this seems to be occurring with others - Hyundai needs to do something about this. Who knows how long I drove with low to no oil in my vehicle before knowing I had this problem. Can't imagine the damage done to my engine!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the driver's side rear door was unable to be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure and scheduled an upcoming appointment for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not yet diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
Both rear doors do not open from the outside or inside, no child lock engaged. Usually takes several tries locking/unlocking to get door open. In the event of a crash, passengers would not be able to exit the vehicle. Not inspected, and no warning lamps.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that after locking the front passenger’s side door, the door was seized in the closed position and could not be opened when unlocked. The contact indicated that extreme force was needed to pull the door handle while attempting open the door. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 52,000.
Rear passenger door will not open from outside or inside after unlocking. Basically, the door stays locked. Only after repetitive banging on the door handle (outside) will it sometimes open (more often it just stay locked - it may be days and dozens of attempts before it haphazardly opens). Additionally, the front drivers side door does not open on the first pull from the outside (it requires at least 2 pulls - sometimes as many as 4 pulls to finally open). Finally, the front passenger door is experiencing similar problems where it may take a second pull to open the door (this door only recently started having this problem and it opens normally most of the time). It can't be a coincidence that 3 out of the 4 doors on this vehicle are having problems with the door locks. So far the front doors open fine from the inside but the rear drivers side door is a serious safety hazard as I have a 3 yr child that sits in the back seat regularly. A simple google search brings up dozens of links and articles where owners of the same model vehicle are complaining of the exact same problem. It's obvious that this is a common issue with this vehicle but so far no recall even acknowledgement by the manufacturer has been issued. This is a safety issue - PLEASE HELP
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was a rattling noise and vibration coming from the steering wheel. Additionally, while parking and turning the steering wheel in either direction, there was a clicking noise coming from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer who diagnosed that the intermediate steering shaft was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 64,000.
Three of my windows stopped working within a few weeks of each other in June 2022 and July 2022. My car has approximately 19,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealership and they said that the window regulators need to be replaced. It costs $741 per window. This is a defect that is occurring with this car's make, model, and year. There are many online forums where other owners of the exact same type of vehicle are experiencing this failure. For example, in this forum there are over 10 owners that have the same issue. Many owners of this car are unable to open their windows anymore unless they can afford to pay the high cost per window. This is putting people's safety at risk because, 1) your car's windows are an emergency exit point if you are in an accident and your doors are nonfunctional, 2) you can't communicate with law enforcement during a traffic stop which puts the officer at risk and yourself because you have to open your door when you can't roll your window down, 3) children in the back seats can't breathe well from the strong wind in their face when the window is stuck rolled down while you are driving. Also debris can fly into the car because the window is not rolled up while driving. Please consider these safety concerns and investigate the fact that there are so many of these cars experiencing this exact defect that is causing multiple windows to fail. This is one website with many forums that report this window failure with this exact type of car: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/search/1269536/?q=windows+tucson&o=relevance Thank you in advance for your time to investigate this concern.
This car is burning oil and locking up the engine while driving. This has happened multiple times now! I am changing the oil every couple two thousand miles instead of 3000, and sometimes even sooner than that. I was on the interstate a couple of times and the car will not accelerate. This is a danger to myself as well as other drivers. Why is this not being investigated??? Looking through the complaints, it has been happening to so many people and no one is doing anything about it!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would stall upon depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The contact initially took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where the catalytic converter, spark plugs, and coil packs were replaced. Eight months later, the failure returned and the same mechanic informed her that the evaporated oil had melted the catalytic converter and referred her to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer on three separate occasions and each time the catalytic converter was replaced; however, despite the numerous replacements, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 140,963.
Locks and Latches have stopped working. My rear passenger and driver side latches do not open. It is a safety hazard for anyone riding in my vehicle.
Passenger side front door lock intermittently does not unlock either by pressing door handle or remote control. Passenger can be trapped inside of vehicle in the event of an emergency egress being needed. Problem is intermittent for now, but growing in frequency!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the rear driver’s side door latch would not unlock and could not be opened from inside or outside of the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 43,000.
The car doors don’t open even after unlocking. I can hear and see the door is u locked but the door doesn’t open from outside. Unable to open the door and get my kid out in case of emergency
Driver side door doesn’t open after unlocking unless you yank on handle 10+ times, and now driver side window no longer goes up. Motor works for window to go down but not up, so it is now a safety concern! A quick Google search reveals countless 2016 Hyundai Tucson owners experiencing the exact same thing- and always with the driver door only.
Air Conditioning Unit is not working properly. I am spending over 1500.00 to have the defective unit replaced. I find it unreasonable that I should spend that amount to repair something that the company should include in a recall campaign.
Put car in drive and it does not engage and will not move. It acts like it is still in park. However, the reverse gear does operate.
The dual clutch transmission is malfunctioning. The car is lurching when accelerating, failing to accelerate and/ or delayed acceleration, and shaking/ shuddering terribly. The car is available for inspection upon request. My safety as well as others is at risk because there have been multiple incidents where the car's accelerator wouldn't engage when going 70+ mph on the interstate almost causing an accident. The car also lurches and shakes terribly. Yes the problem has been confirmed. The problem has been inspected on similar cars having the same problems but not mine specifically. There were no other warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The problems first appears May 14, 2022.
Rear driver side door will not unlock either by electronic or manual manuvers - Locked in senario. Passenger door wont unlock electrinically but manually can open with handle.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door failed to open from inside or outside of the vehicle. The contact had spoken to the dealer and was informed that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000. The VIN was not available.
REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK/OPEN. CANNOT BE UNLOCKED BY ANY SWITCH. FROM INFO I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE NOT BEEN TO THE DEALER OR CONTACTED THE MANUFACTUER. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ALARMS HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED BY THE VEHICLE.O6/
When I go to accelerate my vehicle it does not accelerate properly. It actually slows down to the point of almost stopping. It is very dangerous when I am getting on the highway. I have had cars almost rear end me due to this issue. I travel with my children in this car.
Window regulator on the front passenger side window is no longer working after just over 50,000 miles. Window regulator on the front driver’s side does not always work. I was quoted that it would be a $700 repair by the dealer. Front passenger side window is being held up by card board stuffed inside the door (the dealer’s advice). Door lock actuator on the front passenger side door does not allow you to open the door from the outside when unlocked. Both issues are serious safety concerns if the car were to be in an accident. Both issues are very common with this make and model.
I was on my way to work as normal. There were no warning lamps or other notifications/signs of a problem when all of a sudden, my vehicle started decelerating. I looked in the rearview mirror and saw smoke. I immediately pulled over and the smoke increased. Within a matter or seconds flames started to shoot out from under the hood. I don't know if the fire started from something electrical or engine-related but it spread fast! Before the police and fire truck arrived at the scene, my car was engulfed in flames! This was a terrifying and horrific experience! Prior to this, I had to replace all of the motors on the windows and noticed the jerky movements when driving in Turbo mode that I was told was normal. I didn't even have the car for 2 years! When I contacted Hyundai about the windows, they did nothing and the Rep referred me to get rid of it! I should have listened.
Engine has no oil less three months since last oil change, vehicle did not have any type of low oil notification, car just stopped engine locked up.
The driver's side front door and rear door lock actuators failed in both the doors and you are unable to open the doors from the exterior of the vehicle after the doors have been locked. The only way to open them is to go around and open them from the inside of the vehicle. This is a major safety concern due to not being able to quickly access the vehicle from the outside to get someone out of the car if it was to be involved in a wreck/on fire. As a first responder this is a situation that I have encounter in my work experience and could be the difference in someone living or dying in a collision. This issues is well documented online and with the dealership when I called to discuss it with them. This part does not have any warnings before it fails and one day it just stops working. Our vehicle is a 2016 and has around 50,000 miles so it is not old by any means. I have not had any of the parts examined by anyone such as the insurance company but I am a police officer that is trained in Advance Crash Investigation and Crash Reconstruction.
Rear door will not open from the inside or the outside
Shortly after purchasing this vehicle I noticed I was using more oil than I had in other vehicles in the past. I thought it may have been normal for this different type of vehicle. The longer I owned this vehicle the more oil it consumed. I became worried and asked my brother who is a mechanic and he said sometimes turbos go through extra oil. It then got to the point I was going through close to a quart a week. I then was driving down the highway and my engine stalled and quit. Come to find out I had somehow been getting gas into my oil and it ruined my engine.
Rear driver side door handle does not open, seems to be a safety issue with this car
BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHILDREN PASSENGERS HAD TO CLIME TO FRONT TO EXIT CAR. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
The passenger side door will not unlock from the outside. You can hear when you press the unlock button but nothing happens you have to physically open the door from the inside to let the person in to the core. Also we have had to replace the driver side and passenger side front window gears or whole panel in the door do you to the gears rotting out because they are cheap plastic pieces. We are now having to replace the third window which is the rear driver side for the same issue. When you open the door the gears look likeThey have eaten each other. It is due to cheek horrible product being used in the door. I see multiple complaints about these two issues and they both should be recall issues. It is also a safety hazard because the windows can fall at any moment and shatter and if the rest of the door handle goes out there is no way to let anyone out of the car from the outside
Transmission can lurch forward or hesitate, shudder when accelerating from a stop. More problematic is the extreme vibration/shuddering of the car when in stop and go traffic. It is so severe passengers are actually thrusting back and forth in their seats. First occurrence was at 23,000 miles when a warning light came on saying, "transmission running high, pull over while driving in traffic." At the time I was driving in moderately heavy city traffic for about 20 minutes. Hyundai service reported they could not duplicate the problem, and no codes found in any system, so no repairs performed. Was informed service mechanic that this can happen in extended traffic. However, I had not been in extended traffic. I continued to experience other issues as noted above and when complained about them was told there was nothing wrong with the car, it just had some quirks with the transmission, nothing that needed repair. Recently my driving has changed from city to interstate driving and starting about 5,000 miles ago, the severe shuddering/vibrating happens when traffic is tied up on interstates. The car has not been overheated by hot weather or extended driving as suggested by the service center. When I took it back in for servicing I was informed there was a "dry and wet" type of transmission in the 2016 Tucson's, and I had the dry one which is problematic. Again, the mechanics were unable to duplicate the problem, and said there was nothing they could do to fix the car as it was inherent in this transmission. They suggested I contact Hyundai and ask for the transmission to be replaced as it was still under warranty. Current mileage is 39,000. I have contacted hyundai but they insist, I must take it back to the dealer so they can "duplicate the problem and repair it. It has been and continues to be very frustrating trying to deal with hyundai. I do not feel safe driving long distances in the car and consider it to be a safety concern. Please advise. Thank you, Ellen
My 2016 Hyundai Tucson has repeatedly had a major safety issue when one of the doors will suddenly completely stop working. One day a door will work fine, and after no accidents, impact, or any other known factor, the door is completely unable to be opened. The handle operates as intended, but the door itself does open. In the 4 years I have owned my car, I have had to repair 6 instances of this problem (2 of the doors having this issue again after initial repair). This issue includes my driver side door, where I have had to crawl through the car to get out. Apparently this is a known issue impacting a large amount of Hyundai Tucsons. This is obviously a major safety issue. If these doors cease operation for seemingly no reason due to some poorly designed / manufactured component, I can’t imagine they could withstand any sort of vehicle collision / accident. I hesitate to imagine a situation where someone is in some sort of collision and need to escape a burning vehicle / pull a child out of a vehicle and their doors do not work.
Driver Side door no longer opens from the outside after it has been locked. Rear Driver Side door no longer opens from the inside or outside handle. Seen numerous reports and accounts online report this same issue. I have a 6 month old child and cannot have the doors on my car not opening.
Both back doors will not open from inside or outside. Very dangerous safety concern
Driver side window will not go down. It’s stuck.
Rear right door stopped opening from inside and outside just over a month ago. Two weeks ago front passenger door started to not be able to be opened. To not be able to safely exit a vehicle is a tremendous safety concern....in an accident , in another emergency situation, if vehicle caught fire, etc. Which door will not be operable next? How can my elderly, disabled family member safely ride in this vehicle and get safely out? Will I need to drive to a fire department to get doors cut open? (this actually is my go-to safety plan at this point) We took to our Auto repair, they also could not open these doors. There are no dash warnings of doors being compromised. The vehicle was not in any accident incident. Internet searching reveals this to be a widespread problem with the Hyundai vehicles
The driver door makes clicking sound but does not unlock with the rest of the car doors using my automated lock/unlock feature on my key. In searching online, this is a huge/broad issue among Hyundai Tucson 2016/17 owners.
2016 Tucson rear doors wouldn’t open
3 out of the 4 windows do not go down or up with window button. The windows now move down on their own when driving that can cause a distraction if in bad weather like with heavy rain, wind, or sand storm. If I hit a bump in the road the window come down some much distracting my driving ability. I'm having to stop the card and pull up the windows with my hands now which anyone could go to my car now and just slide the windows down with their hand and break in to the suv. This happen just during my warranty but was unable to take it in due to covid restrictions at the time for myself before the time expired on the warranty. This seems like a know issue for the make and model from many in the hyundai tucson community.
Passenger door wont open when unlocked using the key fob. If opened from the inside and left unlock the door will open.
When I unlock all doors from the driver side inside you cannot enter the vehicle on the passenger side front door from the outside handle, you have to manually reach over and pull from the inside
The passenger doors, front and back, have stopped opening. The handles from inside and from outside will not open the doors. This is a tremendous safety issue as in the event of a fire, accident, etc people would not be able to exit the vehicle. There is no warning when the doors will not open...it just happens. It has caused a big panic and fear for use of vehicle in the event that soon no doors may operate. This problem is a n issue across the board with Hyundai. Hyundai should be recalling and fixing this before someone is killed because they cannot open a door.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the front and rear driver’s side and front passenger’s side windows fell down inside the door panel. There were no warning lights illuminated. The local dealer diagnosed the vehicle and determined that the window regulators needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,683.
All of the window motors in my doors have broken all at once. The windows will not go down because the motors are broken. There are no warning lights for this. It is is a dangerous risk because if there was an emergency where the windows would need to come down they wouldn’t. I do not see how this isn’t a recall when all FOUR window motors have broken at once.
Hyundai dealership just gave me my vehicle back after having it for 3 months replacing the engine due to engine failure which a class action law suite was filed about. While having my vehicle they also replaced all the ignition coils and spark plugs, 1 day after receiving my vehicle back my car throws the following codes and has to go back to the dealership. P0353- ignition coils C primary control circuit/open P0354- ignition coils D primary control circuit/open P0420- Catalyst system efficiency bele9 threshold bank 1
The front driver side door does not open when unlocked. It seems to me a known issue that the lock actuator tends to fail on these doors. This is a huge safety concern.
No or reduced acceleration after stopping, no shifting at all into gear, vehicle hesitating, especially in low gears at speeds less then 10 MPH while idling in traffic. Issues shifting into gear and accelerating when pushing accelerator especially when going downhill. Issue happens nearly every time the vehicle is driven. Rear driver's side door will not open from inside or outside of car. Seems to be an issue with the cable/pulley system. Could definitely be a safety hazard in an emergency situation.
Transmission slips when trying to accelerate any. No leaks etc. Almost had a wreck trying to merge onto the interstate with my family in the car.
I was driving on interstate and my vehicle felt like it was losing power. It felt like the engine was failing. My car started squeaking and flutter when I tried to accelerate pass 65 mph. I took it to delearship and they told me my engine needed replaced. It only had like 89k miles on it. They replaced engine. I picked up SUV, and as I am driving home on interstate my car started to shake and squeal again when I accelerated to 65 mph. It seemed I had to floor the accelerator to get to 65 mph. I took suv back and this time they told me it was the transmission. It is currently in shop getting transmission fixed. Hyundai has had my car now for 4.5 months replacing motor and now transmission. I bought this car brand new, and had issues with this SUV in the past. It would consume a lot oil way before it time for oil change, but dealership did oil consumption test and said it was fine. It lost complete power at traffic stop. Every time I took it to delearshop they would say everything look good. My model Vin number isn’t on the recall list, but I wouldn’t purchase a used 2016 Hyundai, Tucson do to safety concerns.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that both front and rear passenger’s side doors failed to open from inside or outside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the vehicle was diagnosed with an actuator failure. Neither the manufacturer nor the dealer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
My passenger door and back drivers side door won’t open when unlocked. You have to open the door from the inside
Door latch failure. The door latches do not work, and become un-openable. 11/2020 & 04/2022. Yes it is currently available for inspection with a non-operational door. Safety issue, cannot exit the car. Cannot get kids out of the car. I cannot get out of the car. No one can open the car door that is affected when unlocked from the inside or the outside of the car. Yes, there are articles, fixes and my personal mechanic and Hyundai mechanics have addressed the previous same issue in 11/2020. The car was inspected by a Hyundai dealer 10/2020 who gave me a quote to replace the door latches and locks. The car was inspected by my mechanic at a Chevrolet dealership as well, who installed part #Hyundai actuator motor Front door lock 81310D3010. The car has not been inspected by police or insurance. The car has had same failure in drivers door that was fixed by a different car manufacturer. The car currently has a different door latch failure. There are no warning lamp indicators. The door simply will not open at all when unlocked causing a problem for anyone to exit the vehicle in an emergency.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated the passenger’s side failed to open from the inside or the outside. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,995.
There appears to be a dangerously common malfunction on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Without any warning or indication of failure I am unable to open either of my rear passenger doors. Neither from inside, nor outside. The door locks appear to lock and unlock, manually and/or electrically, but the none of the door handles work. First the rear right side, followed by the rear left side a day later. It would be impossible in an emergency for someone to exit or be removed from the vehicle. God forbid there was a fire, or child stuck in a car seat. Vehicle is available for inspection. Though have not been able to have a dealer inspect it yet...Hyundai is not returning my calls. How can this not be a recall yet!! Do innocent people have to die first? There's no reason to have "tombstone legislation". Be proactive.
Passenger rear door will no longer open on first try after locking and unlocking vehicle
The engine caught fire while driving. The entire vehicle was engulfed in flames as a result. Total loss of vehicle.
While climbing the hill on Highway 5 south, the engine RPM dropped so I was moving the car to the shoulder, and while moving, black smoke came out of the engine hood and stopped the car on the shoulder, and then, the fire began to rise under the engine hood. An insurance company investigation determined all losses. Geico Claim #0547433700101042
Passenger rear door will not open from inside or outside. no damage or accident has occurred. door just quit opening.
Passenger door has to be forced open when unlocked. Once opened the door works fine. Door works fine from inside. This is a safety issue because if n an accident happens and can't get in the driver's side, rescue workers couldn't get into the passenger side. I've read many customer complaints for the same issue with all doors. This should be a recall.
The rear doors on both driver and passenger side will not open. They will not open from the outside or inside. This is a safety concern since I have children in car seats. I am not able to secure my children in their seats. My children are not able to exit my vehicle safely. If I were to be in a collision, first responders would not have access to my children. This is not the first Hyundai Tucson to have this problem as from further research, hundreds or owners have complained of this exact problem. Someone should be held responsible and accountable.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while coming to a stop at approximately 2 MPH at a traffic light, the vehicle rolled forward, failing to come to a complete stop, and collided with the rear bumper of the vehicle in front. The contact stated that the "four-way braking" warning light and another unknown light were illuminated. The contact stated that there was damage to the rear bumper of the vehicle in front. The police were called but no report was written and there were no injuries. The contact had driven the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with an issue with the ABS related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and needed to be taken to a manufacturer dealer for repair. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the brake pedal made an abnormally loud grinding sound while depressed. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic the next day. The independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle rear brakes had failed; and both the rear brakes and rotors were replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the oil level warning light was flickering. The contact stopped and checked the oil level and continued to drive. While driving, there was an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle before the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 92,976.
Multiple door latches failing all within the past 6 months, UNABLE to open from inside or outside. Rear doors both failed within weeks of each other. Front driver's side door is now beginning to stick, which is how the other failing doors began to initially fail. If you Google this issue, you will see it is a common problem for 2016 Hyundai Tucson model. This is a critical issue as all door latch assemblies are failing at the same time on my vehicle, which will make it nearly inoperable, as well as a safety issue if I or my 3 children are unable to enter or exit the vehicle. I took the vehicle to a local ASE certified repair shop and they stated that the cables inside the latch assembly become stretched or compromised. They were able to perform a temporary fix, but they said in order to completely fix the issue, the entire latch assembly needs replaced. The temporary fix did not even last for 3 days and cost me $300. Cost for the assembly part alone for one door is approximately $200. If you add that to labor, I will be spending nearly $1,600 to replace all 4 door latch assemblies. This should not be the consumer's responsibility as it is an ongoing issue for this make and model year. I have submitted a complaint for recall directly to Hyundai US, but this is a critical issue, and something needs to be done immediately!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed and attempting to merge into traffic, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 40 MPH while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 85,000.
Rear passenger door will not open from inside or outside when clearly unlocked. Safety concern if must exit vehicle quickly in case of emergency.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, she attempted to open the front passenger's side door using the driver's side power door lock switch however, the door failed to unlock. The contact engaged the front passenger's side door lock switch but the door failed to unlock. The contact also stated that the door would not unlock from the outside. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact continued to manipulate the door switches until the front passenger's side door unlocked. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
While exiting from interstate the car lights all went out and the car stopped and nothing would work. After a little time the car started and warning lights were on dash. I drove home and then the light would not shut off and I had to manually go turn them off. The new morning the car started and no warning lights were on. Now the radio turns off on it on and the cruse control is not setting. Also the drivers side window stops in when going up.
Traveling with my family my vehicle just completely gave out at high speeds on the highway. I managed to safely navigate to the shoulder and wait in the freezing cold for a tow. Initially I was told the issue was due to lack of maintenance but upon further investigation it was uncovered that this was an unaddressed recall issue. The engine threw a rod bearing and caused damage to the rod, engine, battery, and spark plugs causing all to be replaced. There were no indications of what was about to happen prior to it happening. Thank God there weren’t more people on the road or that we weren’t in a different area.
My car has an unresponsive accelerator pedal, delayed or no acceleration, jerking, shuddering, shaking, and stalling. The defects cause dangerous and unsafe conditions, including failing to shift, stalling and delayed or unresponsive acceleration, especially from a stop. I have been stuck on major highways and have had to disconnect battery and wait just to get the car to restart and actually move. I have had to be towed just to get out of the way of traffic
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the front driver’s, front passenger’s, and rear driver’s side windows would independently lower without warning. The contact stated that each window regulators had gradually failed over time. The contact then stated that while driving at approximately 65 MPH, the passenger’s side front window shattered into tiny pieces and fell inside the vehicle. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home and had an independent mechanic come to her home to replace the front passenger’s side window. In addition, the contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door would fail to open from both inside and outside the vehicle. The contact had yet to notify either the dealer or the manufacturer of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.
I have had problems with two trailer hitch sending units causing brake lights to be constantly illuminated. Hyundai has issues a recall for my model year on this issue, but for some reason my VIN is not covered in the recall.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle would hesitate upon depression of the accelerator pedal as the wrench warning light would illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where they changed the rear driver’s side tire and cleared the code; however, the hesitation persisted after the repair. The vehicle was taken back to the independent mechanic where they replaced the engine booster as well as eight bolts that had been fractured on the intake manifold while the booster was being replaced. Despite the second repair, the failure persisted and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer. The contact was informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and would be towed to a dealer for further assistance. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the independent mechanic. The failure mileage was 75,858.
SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR, THERE HAVE BEEN INTERMITTEN TIMES WHEN THE CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT IS BOGGED DOWN AND DOES EVENTUALLY MOVE. WHEN THIS ORIGINALLY HAPPENED THE VECHILCE WAS BROUGHT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR TRANSMISSION PROGRAMMING AND THAT WAS DONE. PRIOR TO 100,000 MILES ON THE CAR, THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND I WAS TOLD THIS WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. BUT IT DID NOT - THE BOGGING AND HESITATION HAPPENED LESS FREQUENTLY, BUT CONTINUED. IN 2021, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TURBO BECAUSE THE VECHILE WAS BOGGING DOWN AND THE CODES INDICATED IT WAS THE TURBO. AFTER THE TURBO WAS REPLACED, MY CAR BEGAN BURNING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF OIL. SOMETIMES, I COULD GO 2,000 miles, others only 1,000 and most recently 250-500 MILES BEFORE MY CAR WOULD START BOGGING AGAIN AND NEED 2 QUARTS OF OIL. AFTER FILLING MY CAR IN EARLY FEBRUARY WITH OIL AND DRIVING LESS THAN 100 MILES, MY CAR STARTED BOGGING AND SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING AWFUL NOISE. THE CODES INDICATED IT NEEDED COILS, WHICH I HAD REPLACED BUT THE ENGINE HAS NO COMPRESSION. AFTER READING AND RESEARCHING THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2016 TUCSON 1.6T AND A DEFECT THAT WAS CORRECTED IN THE ENGINE IN 2018. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND BE REQUIRED TO MAKE OWNERS WHOLE.
The drivers side door almost never opens, I have to open the passenger side door to gain entry into the vehicle. In addition, the drivers side window at times will not open. I am not sure if this is an electrical problem. On occasion, this also happens on the passenger side. I do not want to be trapped in my car or have my passengers trapped. Previously the drivers side back door would not open and the dealership replaced the latch. At times I still have issues with the door opening from the inside and out, despite being unlocked. Rear driver side door does not open. It is not locked, child locks are not on. After reading multiple online forums it appears Hyundai is aware of the issue and not creating a Recall for this issue. The lock actuator needs to be replaced, Hyundai is charging outrageous fees to have this resolved. This is a HUGE safety issue. If the vehicle is in an accident any person sitting in the front drivers side, front passenger side and back seatsof the vehicle would not be able to get out of the vehicle on the rear driver side of the vehicle. This is a huge safety concern if I were in an accident and could not open this door. I have seen DOZENS of other reports of people having this same issue and a recall should be issued immediately to fix this potential life threatening and dangerous issue.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact’s son stated that while stopped, there was a knocking sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted via the telephone and informed of the failure; the dealer suggested that the vehicle be brought to the dealer for assistance. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
The engine has been consuming too much oil for a few months now. Most recently, an oil change was done on 2/17/2022 after driving 879 miles by an independent mechanic, and there was only 2.5 quarts of oil left. This occurred after the Hyundai dealer said that it passed an oil consumption test. Also on two occasions, the dashboard lights and headlights went out while driving, then came back on moments after. This has not been replicated. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
On Friday, September 11, 2022, I had just returned from running errands. I parked the car, which had no warning lights on whatsoever, and exited the vehicle. A few seconds later, smoke started streaming out from under the hood. I popped the hood but did not open it, and started toward the house to get some water, thinking that something was overheated. Before I had taken ten steps, flames were shooting out from the hood. I called 911, but before the fire department arrived, part of my house also caught fire. It has been inspected by the fire marshal and my insurance company.
Rear driver side door does not open. It is not locked, child locks are not on. After reading multiple online forums it appears Hyundai is aware of the issue and not creating a Recall for this issue. The lock actuator needs to be replaced, Hyundai is charging outrageous fees to have this resolved. This is a HUGE safety issue. If the vehicle is in an accident any person sitting in the back seat of the vehicle would not be able to get out of the vehicle on the rear driver side of the vehicle. Why hasn't a recall been issued???
Car started eating oil after 110K miles. Seems as if 2 quarts low in 3,000 miles between oil changes. Started carrying extra oil and checking level during and after long trips. at 140,000 miles the turbo charger failed and engine failed in the middle of pulling out of a parking lot. No lights on instrument panel ever lit up until 40 miles before the engine failed. Oil light never came on as engine oil was burned up in the turbo. Car is now dead and needs a new engine. Internet posts show numerous Hyundai owners with the 1.9 liter turbo engine experiencing the same problem.
The drivers side door almost never opens on the first try, I usually have to pull the handle twice. Recently the passenger side back door will not open from the inside or outside, despite being unlocked. This is a huge safety concern if I were in an accident and could not open this door. I have seen DOZENS of other reports of people having this same issue and a recall should be issued immediately to fix this potential life threatening and dangerous issue.
Car was driving fine. I started going up a moderate hill and car stalled out with no warning, right in the middle of a busy highway. Was able to get finally get it started to pull onto side of road, it had a loud knocking sound and engine light and oil light came on that time. I had it towed to my mechanic who said it had absolutely no oil. I have not found any evidence of oil leaking in my driveway or parking lot at work. It never gave any warning that engine needed serviced or oil was low. It now needs a total engine replacement. I am the second owner so of course I have no warranty. Car has 81,000 miles on it, had 75,000 when I bought it 4 months ago. Never dreamed I would be dealing with replacing an engine after 4 months. Since this has happened, I have read so many complaints of these cars doing the exact same thing to so many owners, I have lost count. A recall needs to be done, Hyundai needs to own up and address whatever flaw is causing this problem over and over again. Had I been on the interstate ( where I was heading) or driving in city traffic, I could have been killed. This problem is not just frustrating, it is also dangerous.
#1 - The door handles on all doors have started taking several pulls on the handle to open. The left passenger side is no longer able to be opened from the inside of the car. This moved to all doors and it takes numerous tries on the other 3 doors from the inside or outside to be able to get the doors opened. #2 - We bought this car used from the original owner with 99k miles on it. We know the owner personally and they did regular maintenance on the engine. After 6 months of owning and putting on 3000 miles on the vehicle the engine has blown. When we bought the car we changed all the fluids and did an initial oil flush and put in synthetic oil and did another oil change before the 3000 mile mark, again with synthetic oil. The check engine light came on while driving and oil light started flickering and the engine also started knocking. We had the vehicle towed to a mechanic and they said to contact Hyundai as they've had several blown engines that came through their shop and that Hyundai was doing a massive recall. Towed the car to Hyundai and they took 3 weeks to look at the car and said that due to poor maintenance the engine blew and they could replace the engine for $13k and this engine wasn't covered in the extended warranty. They took a video of the oil chamber and it had sledge and said no coverage due to poor maintenance and our VIN also wasn't on the recall list. After doing research it looks like several others are having issues with oil problems, sludge and blown engines.
I've had this used hyundai for 6 months, had to replace drivers door panel ( windows not going up and down) Stopped working. Now drivers back door window will not go up or down. Right side back door will not open anymore. On utube people by the 18k are complaining about these same issues. What next? It's like the body is falling apart.
The traction control system keeps randomly kicking on while driving.
Engine failure at approximately 80,000 miles. No oil observed in engine, dipstick smelled of burnt plastic, no grit or sludge observed on dipstick or exterior of engine, no smell of burnt oil or blue smoke from tailpipe. Audible engine slap, no check engine lights were illuminated in dash, oil light flickers on for less than 3 seconds after engine turned over. Mechanic identified engine failure and also noted there was no oil in the engine, recommended we call Hyundai corporate office. Engine near seizure, as a result, if engine seizes, this could potentially bring the vehicle to an abrupt stop at highway speeds and can result in a catastrophic accident or engine fire. Engine still under warranty, dealership attempting to say engine failure caused by "sludge issue", but no proof of engine sludge found upon inspection. Oil change records provided to dealership upon request. Hyundai corporate was called, given the run-around.
We purchased a 2016 Hyundai Tuscon in July 2020 from Key Hyundai Milford Ct. We have become aware of serious engine problems with the vehicle such as, severe oil consumption, sudden stalling and loss of power at traffic stops, loud continuous rattling from the engine compartment. We took the vehicle to a mechanic her in Pittsburgh where we now live and were told that there appears to be a serious problem with connecting rods and that we may end up having to replace the engine at our own expense. We have had this vehicle for only 3,00 miles and one and a half years, we were never notified of the engine issues. We were assured that the vehicle had been well maintained and was in perfect condition. We are writing to see if this its under the CT Lemon Law and/or if there specific remedies that we can pursue. We tried contacting the dealership but we received absolutely no assistance and washed their hands of any responsibility. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can provide, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Engine failed and had to be replaced.
I purchased the car in June 2021and took the car back within the month due to the driver door having issues locking and unlocking. Today on 2/5/22 as i was driving my car on the express way my engine light,battery light and oil light came on and my car began to shake. As i got off the express way my car cut off in the middle of traffic while i had 2 kids in the car in the city of Houston…. In October i was told that i was having oil consumption issues and was having to take my car back every 1,000 miles. And then was told that’ll it’ll be $900 to get a decombustion cleaning. I am unsure of why my car has stopped today. I’ll be back to let y’all know.
3 safety concerns with the vehicle- 1) - the front passenger side door will not open from time to time when unlocked- you need to crank on the out side and inside handle at times to get the door to open. This is a concern if I were to ever get into an accident. The locking mechanism has had to be repaired on both rear doors for the same issue- potentially keeping a passenger from exiting the vehicle in the case of an emergency. 2) the car jerks when accelerating from a complete stop every single time you drive - and you have to put your foot way down (like slamming down) on the gas pedal in order to get up to the right speed… (I have never had to do this in the other 4 vehicles we own - only in the Hyundai) 3) oil consumption concern. The car is using way too much oil then it should. I change the oil every 5000 miles and it is going into Hyundai 2/4/2022 in West Allis, WI for an oil change - (and to get the passenger door fixed) I had to add oil on 2/2/2022 because the oil level warning light came on - and it was almost empty. I’ll be requesting an oil consumption test. This should be covered by Hyundai due to this being a safety concern with the engine. This has been the worst vehicle e have ever owned. I have 3 daughters that drive this vehicle and it scares me thinking that if one were to ever get into an accident that they or one of their friends would be seriously injured - for either A- not being able to get out of the vehicle or B- the engine starting on fire due to the oil consumption problem.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the starter had failed and needed to be replaced. The starter was replaced. The independent mechanic also informed the contact that the brake pedal needed to be replaced, and the rear trailing arm was corroded and could fracture while driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The independent mechanic stated that the suspension front spring and coil spring could damage the tire overtime. The contact became aware that the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 37,861.
1. January 7, 2022 my vehicle began to lose engine power, as I began to try and find a place to pull over safely, the car stalled. It would not immediately start again for several hours. It had to be pushed out of the way. The engine failed due to wear of connecting rod bearings with no previous indication of engine issues. 2. Due to the sudden stall and having to push the vehicle to a safe location, myself and passengers could have easily been hit by another vehicle. 3. A dealership has confirmed the failed rod bearings. 4. The vehicle's engine has been inspected and photos taken by the dealership and submitted to Hyundai corporate. 5. It was not until the car stalled that the oil light illuminated. When I started the car back up several hours later, all lights were gone and no error codes were present. There was no previous warning lights before this incident.

Back windshield shattered spontaneously upon closing driver door
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that soon after purchasing the vehicle, the vehicle would stall upon depression of the accelerator pedal as the RPM's would loudly rev. The contact took the vehicle back to the independent used auto shop where the vehicle was purchased and was informed that they would not service the transmission or offer any additional assistance. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System) which he linked to the failure. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The contact called a local dealer and made an appointment for service. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
The engine has Rod Bearing failure. The engine is a Gamma GDI 1.6 L engine- the same engine that was recalled from the Veloster, for this problem but the Tuscon was not included in the recall. Hyundai has stated they recalled the Gamma GDI 1.6 L due to metal shavings being left in the engine during production that overtime created wear on the rod bearings leading to failure and engine failure. (Which is exactly what is wrong with my vehicle) Hyundai has said they will not fix my engine, and that it is out of warranty. It has been inspected by 2 local mechanics who have confirmed the diagnosis, I have called Hyundai corporate and the local Hyundai dealerships who have provided no help and requested $250 to even look at my vehicle. The oil light came on right before the engine started knocking and it was taken directly to a mechanic. I purchased this vehicle 1 year ago from a reputable used car dealership who will not help me either, the vehicle is now out of warranty, and I still owe $17,000 on the loan. A new engine is $10,000. Hyundai needs to step up and fix this issue.
Failed intake valve/compression valve. It is currently at the dealer I bought it from. I was driving in traffic and it had no power at all. I was almost rear ended several times trying to coast off the road. The dealer took the engine apart and put it back together 3 times and informed me that it will need a new motor. There were no warnings at all before this happened. The dealer nor Hyundia has tried to work with me on the cost. The purchase price was $14,000 and they want to charge $8000 for a new motor. I am still paying for the SUV that isnt running.
All of the window regulators have gone out now 3 within a few months, don't know how there isn't a recall yet. Seems there is a lot of complaints in forums. All within 3 months definitely sounds sus. Most think it's due to the plastic wheel the regulator spins on. The heat melts it over time. I only have 49,000 miles on the car at this time. They want 2,300 to fix it.'
The contact's son owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while his son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and the dealer replaced the spark plugs; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was then towed to Wiesner Hyundai (1645 Interstate 45 N, Conroe, TX 77304) and diagnosed with engine failure, and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle to a dealer. The failure mileage was 107,727.
This same oil leak issue has been addressed at least 6 times and is worse than its ever been. 1-16-20 9-12-20 1-8-21 1-22-21 5-17-21 9-10-21 The Oil pan was replaced on 09-10-21 at 109,331 miles. At around 2,000 mile after this service noticed oil spots again in my driveway, it seems to be leaking in the same spot. I called for an appointment on November 1 to have it looked at and you were about a month out, so I had to make an appointment for November 29th. The problem seems to be getting worse and I dont feel comfotable driving it. I called service twice in the last week and was advised to leave it in case an appointment opens up. Please see service history, check, and advise. I have a college visit with my son in Maryland on November 15 and had to rent a vehicle.
The Engine block overheated and seized causing a connecting rod to break and eject from the bottom of the vehicle. I was driving down a highway when this happened with no indication or check light of the problem on the dashboard. I heard a snapping noise which was the connecting rod breaking and then ejecting out of the engine and then the engine smoked, and the car immediately lost acceleration on a packed highway and had I not responded quickly - I would have caused a serious accident. I had the car towed to a repair shop initially and they diagnosed it as engine seizure with massive engine failure and they told me to send it to Hyundai dealer in Algonquin IL, which was where they confirmed the diagnosis - it seemed suspicious to me as I have had all maintenance done with Hyundai besides my tires. They told me the engine overheated and seized which caused the connecting rods to snap, I had visited my dealership recently the prior month for an oil change and they did not indicate any major problems with my vehicle. The car had to be towed to my local dealership McGrath City Hyundai as I have no way to drive to the other dealership as it was so far way. I'm waiting now almost half a year for an engine replacement and no word from the manufacturer or dealership on this matter.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at 65 - 70 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and there was smoke coming from the bottom of the vehicle. Additionally, the vehicle made abnormal sounds. Upon the vehicle being placed onto the tow truck, there was oil leaking from underneath the vehicle onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and diagnosed with rod bearing failure in the lower part of the engine, which caused a hole in the engine block. The vehicle was not repaired and remained at the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 55-60 mph, she heard an abnormal noise. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that she was able to park on the side of the road before the vehicle was seized. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to her residence. The vehicle was then towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, started to experience failure with the brakes. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer and was informed that the VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics). The dealer completed the recall repair however, the failure with the brakes recurred. Additionally, the rear driver’s side door failed to open. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 39,055.

The driver was able to park on the side of the road. The vehicle was not drivable. The contact towed the vehicle to another daughters' apartment. The contact spoke to the local dealer and made them aware of the failure. The dealer had the vehicle towed to their location to be diagnosed which was still pending. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,933.
The passenger front door Will not open from the outside once locked. It must be open from inside the car. This would be a safety concern if there was an accident and people were trying to get into the passenger side car. It seems from research that this is a known issue from Hyundai
At the end of November 2021, my oil change light came on, which was odd because I was not due for an oil change. Brought the car in, they changed my oil and the light was gone. Barely a week later, the oil light came on again. I had some guys at work check it and they said I barely had any oil. I scheduled another appointment but never made it. I was driving on the highway when my car starting shaking uncontrollably and dropped down to barely 20mph. I almost created a pileup as cars behind me were swerving out of the way. I was almost hit multiple times and could barely get my car over to the breakdown lane. My check engine light also came on as my speed dropped. I had it towed to a nearby independent garage where the mechanic told me the diagnostic codes showed that I had misfired cylinders. He suggested I bring it to a Hyundai dealership to submit a claim as he knew that those type of engines were having issues. I had it towed again to the nearest Hyundai dealership, where they confirmed that 2 of the cylinders had failed. Hyundai confirmed with me that they had every record of me coming in to the dealership to get any required maintenance done on the car, yet the engine dies when it barely goes over 100,000 miles. And to top it off, when I asked for an estimate for repair, they quoted me $17,000 to fix it!
electrical issues and/or hardware issues with rear windows. understand the issue to be electrical motor and/or window regulator. One window fixed but other to be repaired. in driving, window starts to sag and persons outside the vehicle have attempted to gain entrance through the sagging window. for the repaired window, the dealer inspected and was to repair except the price seemed too high and was only for the window regulator. taken to a glass/auto body shop who indicated both motor and regulator needed to be replaced and charged what the dealer was going to charge for only the replacement of the regulator. the within days after one window fixed, the other window refused to close all the way and the issue of someone trying to gain entrance occurred.
I was at a stoplight waiting to turn right. When there was a safe break in traffic I began the right turn, but the engine made a clunking noise and stopped accelerating in the middle of the road. At this point, cars were getting close to me and my car wasn't speeding up, so I turned on my hazard lights and managed to inch onto the shoulder. I had my 5 month old baby in the car with me, so his safety, my safety, and the safety of others on the road were at risk. We took the car to our local Hyundai dealership and they said they couldn't diagnose the issue unless they took the engine apart. They checked all of the fluid levels and electrical connections, the battery, all of that was normal but we didn't have the $500+ they wanted to take the engine apart, so that did not get checked. This car had less than 100,000 miles on it and was in great shape. We had it for less than a year and did not even drive it every day. There were no warning lights or messages or anything to let me know that there was a problem. The engine starting making that clunking noise about five minutes before it died. I was on the highway and got off the nearest exit to check for problems but the car stopped moving before I could get someplace safe to take a look. Other than that, there was no indication of any issue, and no issues spotted during any routine maintenance/oil changes.
Sensor default, ABS on dashboard, acceleration on dashboard, oil lights default on dashboard, electrical problems, and radio default. My vehicle is still under warranty however im trying to figure out will warranty cover for all of the problems within my vehicle.
Passenger side door failing to unlock fully, not openable from the outside under many circumstances. This seems to be a common problem with the 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Hyundai needs to issue a recall for this safety issue.
I had the same problem over and over again. Did not show any used oil at that time. Between oil changes, the car was 2.5 quarts low again. There is no evidence of leaks and no smell or smoke from the exhaust no lights indicating the is a problem. My engine is beyond repairs and must be replaced. The car is housed in my daughter's garage because I am unable to pay for a rebuilt or new engine.
Started having issues with acceleration after getting gas. Thought it may have been bad gas. Took to independent mechanic who changed all spark plugs, coil packs, catalytic converter. Next month during regular oil change (every 3000 miles), tech told me that I was low on oil and that it looked as if the engine was burning oil. He stated that he had seen multiple engines from Tuscons burning oil and to get in touch with dealer.
While driving on the freeway in high traffic, my vehicle suddenly shut off. I re-started it and exited the freeway and drove to a mechanic. Mechanic said vehicle was almost completely out of oil , but there was no visible oil leak. He heard a engine knock and after investigating, found the engine was consuming large amounts of oil and caused damage to the engine. There were no warning indications.
First the passenger side rear door would not unlock or open; was repaired for a very high amount and I was told it wasn't covered; now the same thing with the driver's side rear door; online forums show this as a very common problem with Hyundai Tucson 2016. This is a safety issue - door cannot be used to exit the vehicle from the inside or outside at the malfunctioning (non-functioning) door.
My third door has stopped opening from the outside. This is a known issue to Hyundai about these cars and it is a safety issue.
My back door on the driver's side does not open from the inside or out. I had the same issue with my driver's door but would open from the outside. I went to the dealership and replaced the door latch assembly. I am not under warranty, so it cost me alot to get fixed. Just one month later the backdoor stopped working completely. I got a letter in the mail form Hyundai saying this is a known issue and if your warranty has expired they'll fix it at no cost, that doesn't help me at all. This is a safety issue and needs to be a recall. I am worried the other doors will stop working. It is not affordable to get fixed.
Neither of the backdoors of the car will open from the inside or the outside. The first failure was the driver side backdoor which will not open even with force. Several months later the passenger side rear door is experiencing the same issue. I spoke with the local Hyundai dealership who confirmed that it is a well known issue, but they have been less than helpful with getting it repaired. They take my contact info and say someone will call me but they never do, when I call or go to the dealership in person the one guy who can help get the repair underway is never available, and they will not give me his direct contact info. This is a serious safety risk because there is no way to get to my children from either of the backdoors if there was an emergency, they have to be accessed and pulled over the center console to be removed from the car at all. Given the incredibly persistent issues with these latches failing in the Tucson, there is also no way to know when any of the other latches may fail and make it impossible to quickly escape the car.
A warning light indicating that a brake light is out has been active for over 4 years. The bulbs have been replaced and checked and the brake light outage persists. This is an electrical issue and poses a serious safety hazard. Secondly, when trying to accelerate, the engine will rev between 400-500rpms but the car won’t speed up for several seconds. Lately while pressing the gas pedal the engine is revving in the 500’s while the car actually DEcelerates from 70mph to 40mph while ON THE FREEWAY. This is a mega dangerous safety issue for myself and other drivers. A mechanic quoted us yesterday as needing a new transmission. The car is 6 years old. In my opinion, these issues coupled with the existing recalls make this car a true lemon.
Latch failure of all 4 doors, passenger side door in 2018, passenger rear door 2018 and again now (2021), driver door 2019, driver rear door 2019. The door latch fails and at first won’t open from the inside. After a few days or weeks, door will not open from outside or inside. This costs over $450 (labor not included) and is a HUGE safety concern! This should not happen in a 5 year old car, especially to ALL 4 DOORS, and one of the doors twice!
Purchased the car new. A year or so into ownership the car began to bog down upon acceleration for a dead stop (stop lights, etc). I voiced my concern multiple times when I took the car to the dealership for regular services. I was told this is just the way this turbo performs. No reason to be concerned. I almost got his a few times due to this issue. again voiced my concerns was told the same thing over and over again. The next issue was when i would turn the oil light would flicker on and off. Still was told probably nothing but a short somewhere. Then we checked the oil and it was down a quart. took it in to the dealership they changed the oil and said to just "keep an eye on it". 3 weeks later the engine completely failed and seized. Had to have the car towed, paid that out of pocket. That was in July. Still no repairs done, they say they do not have a loaner car to give me and if I want a rental I would have to pay for it out of pocket and once the repairs are done and I have my car back I could contact Hyundai to possibly be reimbursed. This is so ridiculous! This engine should have been a recall as far back as 2017! So all summer we had to drive our old backup vehicle which has no ac and is not a great commuter vehicle. Someone should have to pay for all this inconvenience and cost. The date the engine completely failed is the date I have proved as the incident date.
I need to let you know my 2016 Hyundai Tucson is using oil so bad it's getting out of control. No matter what we do it continues to happen. It has been using more has then it use to also. Its getting ridiculous. I love my car but I'm ready to go back to a different make all together if they don't do something to fix these issues. My Tucson is not the only one that does it. I have a family member who has to put a new engine in here due to this. I can not afford to buy my car and then turn around and have to put a new engine in it. Something needs done asap. I'm contacting a lawyer due to the many other issues not listed. Like it trying to die going down the highway. This has been going on since around June 2021
While I was driving on the highway my check engine light started blinking. I immediately pulled off on the next exit 1/4 mile from when the light started blinking. After stopping completely off the exit the engine stalled and both the oil light and battery light popped on. I was not able to accelerate or drive it from there. An independent mechanic who towed it to their shop said there was no oil in the engine. This is impossible because I had plenty of time left before the next oil change. A week prior to this incident we took the car to the Hyundai dealership to fix a recall problem. There was no indication anything was wrong with the engine or car at the time they fixed the recall issue. Somehow the oil in the engine disappeared and there was no indication from any low oil lights, engine lights, or any other notification that there was an issue. It currently has been towed to the Hyundai dealership and awaiting their diagnostic and solution. A claim has been opened with Hyundai corporate since there is a recall opened for 2016 Hyundai Tuscons.
I have had 2 window regulators go out within a month due to them using cheap plastic and it's reaction to hear I assume.
1) Front right driver headlight warning message, keeps illuminating. Mechanic, noticed wires are burning inside compartment. Safety issue burning wires may cause entire electrical system to burn out causing a fire and not having headlights. Vehicle being serviced 10/29/21 2) Driver Brake light message illuminated, replaced light 2 mo ago, as of today 10-28-21, brake light out again. Vehicle being serviced 10/29/21 3) Purchased vehicle 3/21. Vehicle will not accelerate, it will jerk causing a slow start, safety issue. Vehicle taken to mechanic covered thru warranty, he stated vehicle drove ok, still having same problem since 3/21
MAJOR ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE MALFUNCTIONED INCLUDING SPEEDOMOTER, TACHOMETER, DEACTIVATION OF AIRBAGS AND INABILITY TO INDICATE WHICH GEAR THE VEHICLE WAS IN. SITUATION WAS REMEDIED WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF A SECONDARY VACUUM PUMP. WATER ENTRY INTO THE PUMP IS CAUSE OF ISSUE TO MAJOR ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
Rear passenger door when unlocked will not open. I can open the door when unlocked by banging on door just below the outside door handle.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door would not open from the inside or the outside. The contact also stated that excessive force was needed to open the driver’s side front door. The dealer had been notified of the failure and the contact was provided the cost for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Rear door does not open. Can't be opened from the inside or outside. Apparently, similar problems from this model from other owners. Affects all doors.
Engine lost power while turning through a light at an intersection and the traction control light came on for a split second then off. Car the began violently shaking, shuddering and then decrease in power. Once stopped, engine would not regain acceleration or power. Was able to safely get off a very busy road. Car was towed to mechanic, diagnosed as bad engine. Spoke to local dealer who stated the 2016 engines have had many problems some vins (not mine) had additional warranty. Dealer advised to call Hyundai corporate and see if they could assist. Called Hyundai who stated my car is out of warranty and they cannot assist me as no engine recalls are open for my vin. I changed the cars oil and did all other necessary maintenance. The car burned oil excessively. Also had multiple issues with door latches, all 4 window regulators required replacement, turn signal and ac sensors went bad. Many problems for a car 5 years old and now undrivable. Hyundai knows of the problems but refuses to assist.
The locks in the doors do not alway unlock and sometimes stick. When in a accident or and emergency I won’t be able to get my kids out of the back seat due to the doors not always wanting to open. The front door does not open till the third pull at times. The back doors take a good 15 hard pulls for the lock to open. It shows unlocked inside while not opening from the outside or inside. You just get lucky to it finally opening sometimes.
Our rear driver side door does not open from both inside and outside. I have seen that this is an extremely common issue with other Hyundai owners. I have three small children. This is extremely dangerous if there was ever an emergency situation, to have small children trapped back seats, unable to open the doors. I have read that other doors eventually fail too, which just compounds the extreme danger that this poses if an emergency comes up and one has to evacuate the vehicle. The issue seems to always be the door latch and cable not catching, so there is a consistency in what other people are experiencing. Please consider this an extreme safety issue and issue a recall.
Since purchasing this car brand new I have had 3 different seat belt pretensioner failures all covered under warranty. Both front seat belt pretensioners and driver side belt anchor pretensioner. This is on a car with approximately 52000 miles and in excellent condition. In each case the airbag light came on. I am seriously wondering if there is a serious safety issue with these components.
Reduced engine power that caused car to suddenly stall. Check engine light and engine oil pressure light both came on. Auto shop is stating a new engine is required. Similar recall have been issued in other Hyundai Tucson
Engine Burns excessive oil, We change our oil every 3k miles since owning it sept 2019. I had taken it to the dealer for a repair on a separate issue and asked them to look at the engine and transmission due to noise and intermittent issues taking off. was told there was no issue and i did not need an oil change until I reach 5 k miles ( i was at 3k) and that the transmission has had the update and this is how the car operates noise and all, a week and a half later engine stalled while turning through a light at an intersection and the oil light came onfor a split second then off, no oil lights ever indicated low oil until that moment, I checked the oil and it was dry, I did an oil change, next time I reached 3k miles I took it to a shop, not the dealer and oil was dry at 3k miles, have had to refill the oil at 1500 miles since finding this out and have made multiple complaints to the dealer, they will not inspect it for what is a widely known issue unless i pay the money to do an oil consumption test that i cannot afford i have made numerous calls and have been unable to reach corporate after my first contact and delaer will not assist due to me being out of warranty even though this could have been prevented while i was in warranty and informed them i was having concerns, this company is aware of the issues these cars have and is knowing selling them when they can cause injury or death, as well none of my door handles will open the car upon first try(though this part is now under an extended warranty due to this issue) this company is knownly selling and doing everything not to recall dangerous vehicles
My Hyundai Tuscon is currently at 104,552 miles with a dead engine. I also have had to bring my car in for oil changes at 2000 miles instead of 3000, because it started eating through oil fast. The morning of my last oil change, 8/17, my engine started making loud clunking noise. After the oil change, on the way home to call my dealer, Key Hyundai of Milford, my engine shut off while in Drive on a busy street and started smoking. Luckily, I was able to move to the small shoulder and put my hazards on and force the car into park to wait for a tow. If I was not at a safe place to force my car into park the day it died, I could have been seriously injured. No engine lights or any warning lights went on on the dash at all. I had it towed to my auto shop and they said it was leaking oil all over the place, not anywhere an oil changer could access, and could not get it started. They suggested it was a faulty engine and to call Hyundai Corporate, start a case and get it fixed because at just over 100,000 miles it was still considered a young car. I bought this car at 82,000 miles used and was given no warranty on the engine. Hyundai Corporate would only open a case if I had it towed to a Hyundai dealer, and had to fight to get them to tow it themselves to Meriden Hyundai, where it currently sits. This engine failure and the problems leading up to it match exactly that of the large class action suit that is currently going on with Hyundai/Nissan/Kia motors, yet my VIN doesn't match any recalls. Back in March, I had a check engine light that lead to me paying out of pocket for a misfiring cylinder and having to replace the ignition coil and all my spark plugs. I have only had this car since October 2019, and have kept it well maintained. I have been going back and forth with Hyundai Customer Care, and they are sending me in circles and refusing to fix the problem or even attempt to help me solve it.
I'm mid may-end of may I took it in to Fort mill Hyundai the first time because it was starting to crank hard, sounded funny and my dashboard lights would come on saying I needed oil and there was an engine issue. When I idled too long the car would just die, I'd have to shift into park actually turn the car off and let it sit 1-3 mins turn it back on and all the lights would be off and it would drive like it did before it died, loud. They did testing on it and said these repairs (crankshaft sensor, spark plugs and I think an oil change) should fix it. This was less than a month after my previous oil change. Got the car back 3-4 days later and it sounded better but I still felt like it didn't drive and smooth as it should. 2-3 weeks goes by and my oil light again comes on only with sharp turns. The car over the next couple of days would do the loud cranking noise, didn't drive well over 60 and the engine light came on and gauges would go down but would be fine again once the car was turned off for a couple min like 5 . I set up an appt to hVe them look it over again because of the lights coming back on. Not even 2 days later twice going to and from work it completely died out on me (like the first time) but this time it would turn over once it was out in park and turned off correctly. First time I was in the middle of traffic at a red light waited 10 mins multiple times trying to turn the car on to move to the side and it wouldn't. I let it sit for 5 mins without trying to turn it on and it started the gauges didn't work and it was VERY loud stuck in like first gear wouldn't go above 20 mph. Pulled into a neighborhood turned it off to let it cool off again thinking it was over heating. It would crank but again lights still all on and the gear gauge didn't work (down at 0 liek the car was off). I waiting like 20 mins it still had the lights on but the gauges worked, when I tried to drive home it wouldn't go about 45mph or out of 2nd gear.
The rear driver's side door of my door suddenly stopped working. When I was trying to get my baby out of the car, neither my husband nor myself could get to her. We couldn't open her door with the exterior door handle (even after multiple attempts to unlock the car) or the interior door handle. If we find ourselves in an emergency situation, we would not be able to safely and efficiently evacuate our child and other passengers. While it has not been inspected, it is available for inspection upon request. There were and still are no warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. Additionally, this seems like a common issue for the Hyundai Tucson as there are many people online talking about this very same issue, with some people unable to open either of their doors.
Rear passenger door will not open from inside or outside despite being unlocked. Previously it could be opened after pulling handle several times, now it will not open at all despite being unlocked. I have small children in the back seat in car seats and would not be able to get them out through that door in an emergency. The front driver's door also requires pulling the handle several times in order to open it.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door failed to open without warning. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 68,880. The VIN was invalid.
I took my 2016 Tucson to the Myrtle Beach Sc dealership for the recall on the ABS. First thing that happened they called me in the back and told me that they added oil (which I checked when I got home and was overfilled) and that they put in 2 new air filters. They did all this before asking me. So they tried to get me to pay $72 each for the air filters and $16 for the oil and of course I refused. Within days the check bsd system light and all other lights have come on. When I’m at a stop signs it shuts off. I have started the vehicle one morning to warm the engine up and I go back and thence hole is off with the dashboard lights on. My vehicle has even stop and cut off while in traffic while taking my daughter to school. The RPM and the AC stops working when these lights come on and I can only drive the vehicle at a certain speed. I don’t know if by “fixing” the ABS caused this issue or what but my vehicle was driving fine before I went to that dealership. I contacted the dealership asked for a manager and of course one was not available but I was told that they would look at my vehicle for $110. And I still haven’t heard from a manager. So disappointed in Hyundai!!!
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to open the rear driver’s side door from the inside and the door failed to open. The contact exited the vehicle from the rear passenger’s side door. The next day the contact attempted to open the door and the rear driver’s and passenger’s side door would not open. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000.
The doors on the passenger side of the car will not open from the outside or inside. My car was not hit. I have been in no accidents, but the just do not open anymore. My driver side door takes two attempts before it opens. The only door that works like it should is the back-seat driver side door. No warnings. This happened months ago, but I was out of warranty. The dealership service department told me $350 per door to repair. Found that hundreds of owner of this make/model experience the same. Totally unsafe that only 1 of 4 doors function properly.
This vehicle is under recall for its antilock braking system. I brought the vehicle to a dealership on 10 April for the repair. They didn't have the necessary parts in stock. When I called back two months later. Still no parts. It's now been more than 5 months. Which I believe to be proof that the dealership is "unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time." Instead of responding to calls, Jim Ellis Hyundai of Atlanta (5785 Peachtree Blvd, Atlanta, GA 30341) puts me on hold indefinitely. I'd really like to be able to use my garage again.
The vehicle issue began with needing an engine check light. Searched for a recall but there wasn't any engine recalls online for my VIN number. Took the car to the dealer for a recall and they did the recall on some electrical wire that was separate from the engine issue but they just overlooked the engine check light on my dashboard and made no mention of it. They actually bypassed it and so I thought maybe they fixed the issue since the light isn't present anymore. However the engine light came and the problem developed into a transmission failure. Upon pressing the gas pedal, the vehicle wouldn't run over 30 miles per hour and could only go up to 4 rpms.. I took the car to the mechanic and he replaced the transmission and he said that the root cause was a result of a burnt gasket. So we had that replace also.. After spending $5000 in repairs, the motor or the engine completely overheated and now the car is just a potato. Another issue is the doors on my car and not opening anymore. I have to manually ply them open by pulling on some mechanical wiring inside the door. Why do I have to pay for bad engineering? This is an obvious risk.
Both of my rear doors will not open. It started with the rear passenger side door and as of two days ago now my rear driver side door will not open either. I am also having some problems with my driver door, sometimes it won’t open until the second try. I searched online and this seems to be a common problem. This is a safety concern, I am not sure how there isn’t a recall for this.
Back rear doors do not unlock. No matter how many times you press the unlock button they just do not unlock. Nothing has been done to the doors or just started out of no where. This is a huge safety problem. If there is a crash or emergency there's no way for the back doors to open. It started with one door and now the second is doing the same thing. You have to either push the door in trying to get in or pull the door towards you if your trying to get out. I looked into this and there are several other complaints about the same thing.
Once my car door is unlocked from the outside it WILL NOT open! My son also owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson and the SAME thing is happening. I have been hearing of this happening for many, many more Hyundai owners. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE as one is unable to get into the car or get out of the car. This could pose a risk in the event that my granddaughter is stuck in the car under dangerous circumstances or that I am or if someone with a physical limitation is in the car...needing to quickly exit the car OR even to quickly gain entrance to the car. I have read other owners' posts about the blasé, even bored, responses from Hyundai and that just diagnosing the issue costs around $100. Also, even if the car is still in warranty and the item is replaced, one still has to pay for labor! It will also cost around $4000 to get all 4 doors repaired. RIDICULOUS!! While this is a major inconvenience, it also puts the driver and passengers in DANGEROUS risk of injury just to get out of the car! Hyundai HAS AN OBLIGATION TO MAKE THEIR VEHICLES SAFE. This should be a safety recall and 100% covered by Hyundai. Thank you
The vehicle is slow to accelerate on and doesn’t change gears quickly, often stays in a neutral mode which doesn’t allow acceleration. Vehicle doesn’t move when gas is pressed which can cause a major issue when driving on the roads. It is very dangerous and I believe my vehicle should be included in the August 29, 2016 recall.
Both front doors no longer open from outside. Started off as intermittent and has gotten progressively worse sometimes I cant get them to open from inside either. This is a huge safety problem.
The lock actuator on the driver's side door failed. The door cannot be opened, even when the car is unlocked. This creates a hazard if one is required to exit the vehicle in an emergency. There have been numerous owners reporting the same issue on different door in the 2016 Tucson.
The transmission will fail to deliver power to the wheels when starting from a stop. You will hit the gas and nothing will happen for a beat, before kicking in suddenly. this creates a safety issue, especially when turning left, as it can leave you stranded in front of traffic. Multiple Tucson owners have reported the same issue with their transmisison.
The transmission on this vehicle has always functioned erratically. There has been a recall on the transmission control module. On June 12th, as I was driving the vehicle in traffic, I heard an odd clanking noise and felt a loss of power. I was driving up a hill with traffic behind me. The car stalled for several seconds, and I was unable to make it move. It then reengaged and lurched forward. It drove normally for several seconds and then did the same thing two more times, all while climbing this hill with traffic behind me. I was able to make it to a friend's house close by, but when I went to leave, it turned out that the transmission was non-functional. I was unable to put the car in reverse, or move it in any direction. It had to be towed to a Hyundai dealer and a new transmission installed. The vehicle had 81K on it when this happened.
The front driver door handle on the outside is not opening! I have to pull on it about 25 times for it to open. This is a safety issue because I cannot get in or out of my car. This is very unsafe and the manufacturer is quoting me over 200$ to fix this commonly known issue!!
Both back doors fail to open from the inside or outside and the front doors are starting to fail as well.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact pulled over and had the vehicle towed to a local dealer. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000.
We have had 3 doors malfunction to the point where they can't be opened (even from the inside) and need to be repaired. This is a safety issue because it could prevent safe exit from the car in the event of an accident. This is a commonly reported issue with 2016 Tucsons and should be the subject of a recall. For more information see here: https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/rear-passenger-door-wont-open.603329/page-4
Very common problem in the 2016 Hyundai Tucson that is a safety hazard. The locking mechanism becomes unresponsive and the doors can only be unlocked from within. The driver door in this vehicle specifically can no longer be unlocked from the outside. In case of an emergency situation the driver would ne be able to be pulled by opening the door, the window must be broken or someone else must enter the vehicle to unlock the driver side door from within, assuming the doors are unlocked.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the TPMS warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive to her destination. The contact stated that currently there were multiple warning lights illuminated. The contact was unable to start the vehicle or shift out of the park. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer who was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.
Three months ago my driver's side window stuck in the up position, the next time I drove it worked fine but the time after that it stuck again. The window lock is not on, it is now permanently stuck in the up position and will not go down. One month ago my passenger side rear door stuck in the closed position. No attempt to lock and unlock worked to release it and the child safety lock is not on. It seems the handle is not engaging. These issues are not covered under warranty or by recall. I think both these issues are safety hazards.
The latch mechanism in all doors is malfunctioning. The rear doors do not open at all and the front drivers side door only opens sometimes. This is a known defect in the design of the Hyundai Tuscon door latch mechanism. This is a safety issue because the doors are inoperable, possibly trapping a person in a vehicle.
Rear driver side door could not be unlocked and opened. Faulty door actuator lock which has been replaced by dealer at a cost. Do not have the failed part. No ones safety put at risk. However I feel it is a safety issue as emergency egress from the rear could be affected.
I have been having problems with the oil burning very quickly in-between oil changes. This last time, I was driving the car and it started shaking really bad. I was at a stop and when the light turned green, my car would barely accelerate. Once it did start going, it felt as though it did not want to go into the correct gear. Hyundai states that it will take about 2 weeks to fix as they have 15 other cars in with the same complaints.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate over 20 MPH while driving. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer and was diagnosed with a dirty catalytic converter. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 94,000.
First, in 2019, my front driver’s side door stopped working. I could only open it from the inside if I kept my doors unlocked and eventually couldn’t open it at all and I had to crawl in and out of the passenger seat when it wasn’t working. The dealership repaired it because it was under warranty but I still had to pay for everything but the part. Now, In 2021 my front passenger door is doing the same thing. What’s worse? My rear passenger door won’t open AT ALL. I have two children and I have to pull them out of the window on occasion. We had to pull over on the freeway in an emergency and I had to PULL MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE WINDOW. If we’re in an accident I’m terrified of what will happen since we can’t use half of the doors. This is a major safety issue and I’m terrified for my family to use this vehicle. Since my warranty expired 3 months before the second and third door had the issue, it’s going to cost me over $1400 to get this repaired. I’m a single mother of two and this is causing hardship in addition to the safety issue. I’m getting it repaired and I can update with the invoice of the repairs.
In late 2020 my airbag had to be replaced for numerous malfunctions, at the same time my passenger side front door would not open on the first try with the key fob. 8 months later, now my driver door is doing the same thing and I'm no longer under warranty. It's ridiculous this isn't a recall with so many similar complaints. My doors unlock but still won't open until I tug on it numerous times. If it stops working completely it is a real safety hazard.
Rear passenger door will not open from inside or out. This happened with no warning. Grandchild was in rear seat and could not get out. This is a safety issue. The door actuators should be recalled.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door failed to open without warning. The contact stated that the lock and unlock function operated as designed however, the door would not upon from the inside or outside. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that they had to hire a locksmith to repair the door. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 57,000.
Issue: The rear passenger door will not open from inside and outside. We had set the Child-Lock to enabled, so diagnosing/troubleshooting from the inside is not possible. Frequent and consecutive pulls on the exterior door handle do not provide any opening results. Listening to the door panel when using the key fob or door lock toggle, it appears to be disengaging and engaging the lock; or at least it sounds the same as the other doors when locking/unlocking. We have two children we transport that are still in car seats. -- Situation or events that could have caused this issue: None. Was working the morning before. The vehicle has not had any minor impacts to any part of the body (no accidents or bumps, etc). -- Risk of Safety/Death in an Emergency: We believe this to be a safety issue in the event of an emergency (flooding, door collapsed on its side, etc.) -- Inspection: Pending via Dealership -- Warning Lamps: None
This safety problem has now occurred twice. The passenger door is sticking and takes 5 or 6 times to pull on the handle to open the door. The door opens from the inside but not the outside. This same problem occurred in 2020 on the drivers door. The safety of others are put at risk because I have elderly parents that need to be transported and the door can not be open. This problem was reported to the dealer about a year ago since it occured on the other door(drivers door) of the car. The vehicle has only been inspected by the service department at the dealership. There were no warnings or messages prior to the problem failure.
Initially, a couple weeks ago my back passenger side door stopped opening consistently from the inside. Locking and unlocking the door repeatedly would fix it. Now, with the key or inside unlock buttons, the driver and passenger side front door will visibly unlock but not open from the outside until the car has been opened from the inside - meaning you have to crawl through the back to get your doors open. The doors do not always open from the inside, as well, across the board now. That’s a huge safety risk if there were an accident or fire.
While driving home from work, we were stopped at a four way intersection. My boyfriend asked me if I heard this knocking noise. I said he did and we were trying to figure out if it was the vehicle in front of us because I didn't have any warning lights on my dash indicating any kind of issue. The Jeep in front of us pulled away and we immediately could tell it was my vehicle. When accelerating through the intersection the vehicle was very slow to pick up speed and the knocking sound got louder and more frequent. As we were pulling into our driveway the car again had issues picking up speed, we live up a steep hill and I was worried we weren't going to make it. The oil light came on for a split second and went back off. I was not at my mileage for an oil change but my boyfriend said he was going to check it. He pulled the dipstick out and it was completely dry. He put two and a half quarts of oil in and it barely showed on the dipstick. He put another two quarts in and we let it sit. We turned it back on hoping it wouldn't make the knocking noise but it did. We took it to my mechanic who does my oil changes and he inspected the vehicle and took photos to show that there was no oil leak so he could only conclude that the engine was burning the oil for some reason. We took the car to a Hyundai dealer where they informed me that the engine was ruined and it would need to be completely replaced. They told me that it could be covered under the warranty and they would turn it in. After a week of hearing nothing, Hyundai offered to pay for 50% of the repair costs. I think this is absolutely ridiculous since there was no indication letting me know that my vehicle needed oil and it is clearly a problem with their engine that caused it to burn up all the oil when I was faithful about my oil changes. My mechanic printed all of the records of oil changes being completed on time and now they expect me to pay for this.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 MPH and attempting to accelerate, there was a grinding noise coming from the vehicle. Additionally, if the accelerator pedal was not depressed a certain way, the vehicle would stall. The oil light would illuminate upon starting the vehicle and would disappear after a while. The contact would restart the vehicle 3-4 times before the vehicle would regain proper functionality. The failure occurred again while driving 50 mph. The doors failed to open from the inside or the outside except for the driver side door. However, for the driver’s door the contact had to lift the handle twice before the door would open. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic. The vehicle had not been diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the driver’s side rear and passenger’s side front door would not open from inside or outside the vehicle. The dealer repaired the front driver’s side door latch a year ago. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.
1. Back passenger door won’t open from inside or outside 2. AEB AND BDS sensor light stays on on the dashboard. No wreck and cleaned all sensors but warning lights remains on.
Hyundai Tucson door latch failure. Unable to open rear passenger door from the inside or the outside. If I were to be involved in an accident with passengers in the vehicle there would be no way for the passengers to exit the vehicle, which could result in someone dying. This vehicle has only 55,000 miles on it and Hyundai is aware that this is an issue on their vehicles but is failing to address it. Would like Hyundai to address this issue before it does result in a fatality.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle experienced slow acceleration. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the catalytic converter, sparks plugs, and ignition coils needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The local dealer requested additionally testing on the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact's husband stated that while coming out of a complete stop, the vehicle would jerk and not upshift properly. The contact stated that no warning light was illuminated. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 16V628000 (Power Train, Electrical System) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The manufacturer agreed to cover 75% of the costs of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.
Brakes feel like ABS is always on. Feel unsafe to drive. Was told by Hyundai dealer that I need a new Steering Column and no explanation on how something like this can just break. Less than 60K miles when this issue started with brakes. I'm the first and only owner of this vehicle. The other safety issue is the doors not opening. 3 out of 4 doors have problems opening from inside and outside. This forum explains exactly what is happening to my doors. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/rear-passenger-door-wont-open.603329/
Rear Passenger and Driver door handles do not open from the outside OR the inside. I can hear the locks clicking but the handle just will not open the door from either side. Also, after unlocking my driver door handle, I have to pull it twice for it to open. This is a huge safety issue. I cannot have anyone ride in my backseat. It is essentially useless and it seems it is just a matter of time that my driver door handle go out also and I get stuck or cannot enter through my door. This is not normal wear and tear.. this is a malfunction and from what I have read is very widespread.
Rear drivers side door latch is locked shut and will not open from the inside or outside. This is a safety issue because if someone is riding in the back seat and the vehicle was to start on fire or is in a crash and the person sitting there is unable to escape, due to the door being locked shut, they would die. I took the vehicle to the dealer and their solution was to replace the latch in the door. This door handle/latch has rarely been used and has been well taken care of.
Financed the vehicle in July of 2019. After about 6 months of having the vehicle the right back brake light stopped working. Light bulb, socket, and fuses were changed but theres still an issue. I also noticed that I was having a problem with acceleration. Just recently I was on the highway on my way to work, as I was trying to accelerate my speed was going down, my vehicle basically wouldn't move. It started making this awful loud almost whistling sound. I thought I was going to die. I havent used my vehicle since. The vehicle also still has the same inspection sticker on it from the dealership. I have been unable to pass state inspection due to these ongoing issues.
I not only have a recall on my vehicle but I also have a serious problem with acceleration. On multiple occasions I've almost gotten into accident due to my vehicle accelerating at a very low speed or not accelerating at all.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The passenger’s side rear door lock failed to unlock from inside or outside the vehicle. The contact stated that the door remained locked. The contact had spoken with the dealer however, an appointment was not yet scheduled. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 20,000.
My transmission gears shift keeps on sticking in the park position and also I’ve been having to replace my left side parking lights I believe it’s an electric problem or fuse and the dealership seems to can’t fixed this issue with my vehicle each time I take it there
The rear door will not open. The vehicle only has 52,000 miles and nothing was done to cause this failure. After research, his is a known issue with the Hyundai Tucson and could be a safety issue if passengers need to exit the vehicle quickly. The door actuator's in certain years of the Tucson are known to fail.
Rear passenger side door handle suddenly will not open from the inside or outside of the car. Only 34,000 miles on the car and rarely use the back seats or doors. Door handle worked fine and a short drive later no longer opens from inside or outside.
88000 mile Tucson SE with 2.0L DOHC GDI motor, has had all regular preventative maintenance intervals, last oil change + other maintenance at 84400 miles by Hyundai. Check engine light came on for intake camshaft timing over-advanced (P0011); noted increasing engine noise and performance loss while driving. Made appointment with dealership immediately. Hyundai dealership inspected and claimed "almost no oil left and sludge present in oil". Service manager advised possible cause could be piston ring failure. No indication of low oil pressure on vehicle. Safety concern is engine failure without warning due to seizing if the oil level and sludge are as bad as dealership claimed, especially at the rate of oil consumption over the mileage interval.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door would not open when unlocked from either inside or outside the vehicle. The contact had not taken the vehicle to be diagnosed or repaired. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 55,000. The VIN was unavailable.
Rear passenger side door will no open from the inside or outside. Additionally, have to pull on the driver's side door forcefully at least three times in order to open when attempting to enter the vehicle. My safety and the safety of my passengers is in jeopardy if we are unable to exit or people are unable to properly enter the vehicle in an emergency. There were no warnings provided by the vehicle before the issue began.
All dashboard lights turned on and speedometer stopped working while driving. Vehicle accelerated and braked without driver input.
The left passenger door wont open from inside and outside. I have a child that is still in a car seat and this is a huge safety issue. I have to make sure he sits on the right side so I can open the door if there became an emergency.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the driver’s side and both rear passenger’s side doors failed to open using the door handles from the outside with door locks unlocked. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and the contact was awaiting a response. The failure mileage was approximately 24,000.
My car is a 2016 hyundai tucson with about 24,000 miles on it and bought brand new. I have had multiple issues from the beginning. I would have issues with my car turning off then it would leave me in stuck and wouldn't excelerate and almost killed me multiple times so I had it in the shop for the third time. Finally, it was soo bad that they put a new transmission in under my almost expired 5 year warranty. My car has been doing better since the new transmission so that is good so far, but wanted to tell you since other ppl are struggling with this as well and should be a recall and we should not have to pay for it at all. Second complaint is that my car is NOW experiencing door lock issues which makes it a huge safety issue as well. It unlocks the actual button inside but the handle takes multiple pulls to open from the outside. So I had to crawl over to push the door open to get in the passenger side, sometimes it will NOT open at all which is very scary. It all sounds like these make and models are the pits when I google issues. So I am hoping to add this to a safety recall which it definitely should fall under one. Thank you for your time and consideration :)
The driver side window motor failed and window is stuck in the closed position. The front passenger window motor has failed and that window is stuck in the down position. Last, we are unable to open the driver side rear door where my daughter sits from the inside or outside. This is not only frustrating but a major safety issue for occupants in the vehicle.
The back drivers side door will not open. Can not get child out of car in an emergency situation because the door can not be unlocked or opened. This seems to be a problem for other Hyundai Tuscons. There was no warning about this issue. I went to open the door to let my child out and the door could not be opened.
On May 17th my engine locked up as I was pulling out of a driveway. Check Oil light came on a split second before the car locked up. It was not even enough time for me to safely turn off the engine. Upon my own inspection there was no oil on my oil stick even though car receives regular maintenance. Car is now at the closest dealership for TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. Problem was confirmed to be an issue with the bearings. Communication with the dealership has been poor but I believe inspection is available. They have not completed the repair as they are waiting on a back ordered part. I was about 1.5 hours away from home about to head over a very dangerous 2 lane bridge with no shoulder. I think I would have lost it if I broke down on the bridge.
The Doors are failing. Eventually, the actuator fails and cables stretch due to use. The door cannot be opened from the inside nor the outside. In an emergency situation where a door needs to be opened from the exterior even when the doors are unlocked, an emergency responder would not be able to access the vehicle. Additionally, if the vehicle had an emergency situation where the occupants of the vehicle needed to disembark the vehicle, the vehicle doors do not open even though child locks are no engaged. This is a very serious and high risk of concern and issue and must be brought forward for review and resolved as soon as possible. Bringing this vehicle to the dealership for repairs does not always guarantee proper repair. If the actuators are at fault and that is being replaced with the same Original Equipment Manufacture parts, this is going to be an ongoing issue possibly deadly.
TOWNE HYUNDAI ,DENVILLE, NJ, HAS BEEN GIVING ME THE RUNAROUND SINCE MARCH 2021, WHEN I FIRST CONTACTED THEM ABOUT THE RECALL. THREE CONVERSATIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTH GOT ME NOWHERE. THEY SAID THEY DONT HAVE PARTS. I EVEN CONTACTED THEIR COPRPORATE HEADQUARTERS, WITH NO RESULTS.
2016 Hyundai Tucson rear passenger door is stuck closed. When door has been unlocked, door cannot be opened either from the inside or the outside of the vehicle using the door handles. The Passenger becomes trapped inside the car and should something happen, they cannot exit the car immediately if needed. Someone on the outside of the car is unable to open the door to assist any passenger trapped inside. A dealer or independent service has not yet reproduced or confirmed the problem and I will be contacting my dealer to have them address the issue. However, after researching this problem, I found numerous posts complaining that this fix is very costly and it is possible that all four doors will experience this same problem soon. At this time, no manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others have inspected the vehicle but based on the numerous complaints online, this issue should already be a recall on these vehicles. The only symptom was that the door did not open once it had been unlocked.
Rear passenger side door will not open from the inside or outside. Happened right after parking. Tried using the remote key and manually unlocking, flipped child safety lock on and off, nothing worked. The door won't budge. Passenger had to climb over our child's carseat to get out on the other side. Major safety hazard if the car were on fire or flipped over, especially for our child whose carseat is in the back. No warning or error message in the car. We've researched and found thousands of reports from other Hyundai Tucson 2016's with the same exact issue (often starting with one door and then spreading to all four others). I don't feel safe driving the car in case it spreads to the other doors. This needs to be a recall ASAP. Happy to have our car inspected if needed. Have not yet gone to a dealer but plan to soon.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door locking mechanism had failed and the door could not be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. Additionally, the passenger’s side front door and the driver’s side rear door could not be opened from outside the vehicle. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 41,000.
When the vehicles at a complete stop and you go to press on the gas To accelerate the car moving forward, the car stutters. It happens at stop signs, stoplights, anywhere that the car is at a complete stop. This happens every single time. The car has been taken into the dealership and they say everything is fine and nothing is wrong. However I’ve taking it to a local mechanic and he said that he can definitely feel the stutter in the vehicle.
Rear driver side door handle stuck and unable to open from outside or inside. Extremely unsafe due to not being able to exit the vehicle in case of fire or accident.
The driver side door will not open.. You can unlock with the fob or button on the door, or the mechanical Key. The same issue will all methods. Inside or outside latch, but the handle will not open the door at all or there is a long delay. Very dangerous if you needed to exit the vehicle quickly.
Door handle mechanism won’t open the door. It started with one back door and now all but the driver door are stuck shut. It is a safety issue for passengers who cannot get out of the car. Please read the forums to see how many of us Hyundai owners are experiencing this issue making it an obvious problem with faulty equipment. Thanks
Rear driver side door latch will not open when unlocked. Believe it is actuator issue. Will not open from inside or outside. Front driver side lock will intermittently not release lock/will not open.
The back doors will not open from the inside or the outside. I have seem multiple people complain about this and yet still not recall issued. This is a HUGE safety problem. I can't use half of my car because if I somehow get passengers back there and we get in an accident.. they are stuck. If my dog rides back there and we get in an accident and God forbid he can't jump to the front, he is stuck. This needs to be recalled ASAP. There is no reason for these door handles to just stop working. My front door handle also has to be pulled twice for me to be able to open it.
In my 2016 Tucson, the issue started with the front passenger door not opening even though you can hear the car unlocking when clicking the key fob. This issue has now started on the drivers side door, with both the key fob not opening the door as well as manually trying to open the door with the key. This is a serious safely issue and should not be happening. This issue runs the risk of someone being stuck in the car, with no way of getting to them. There was no pre warning of the issue starting. It just happened one day and from that point forward has been progressing to each door. Getting in and out of the car in the event of an accident or emergency poses an issue if the doors do not open. This is made worse by not being able to manually open the door with a key.
Several doors are unable to be opened from both the inside and outside. This is very concerning to me, as in the event of an emergency passengers (including children in car seats) will be able to evacuate the car. After some research it appears many people have this issue with different models of Hyundai vehicles from that time period and yet no recall has been put out. I have never been in an accident in this vehicle and the doors are not dented or otherwise damaged. This problem started slowly, with the door handle not opening on the first try but opening after a few pulls. Over time it got the point where it will not open at all, inside or outside. And over time this has happened with all 4 doors. The two rear doors will not open at all. The front two doors are finicky and take several tries before opening.
The rear doors do not open from inside or outside. We have attempted to pull the battery for a potential reset, without success. Both doors became inoperable simultaneously. The electric locking mechanisms work. The electric windows go up and down. We noticed this on a multi state road trip with backseat passengers. In the event of an accident, the backseat passenger would not have egress from the vehicle.
Latch assembly-rear door LH failed. Could not open door from outside or inside. Replaced on 06/26/2021 Latch assembly-rear door RH failed. Could not open door from outside or inside. Replaced on 02/09/2018
My rear driver side door will not open from the outside or the inside. This is a serious safety issue. If a person or even a child is in the back of my car, how are they supposed to exit the vehicle in an emergency if they can't get the door open? Hydundai is saying the door not latching is not a safety concern, it is.
When obviously unlocked, can feel lock disengage and see lock indicator pop out, door does not open unless handle is pulled multiple times. Driver side was repaired under warranty; both passenger side doors have the same problem but started after warranty.
Door actuators are failing causing doors to not open/be permanently locked. I have paid to repair one (which I don't have any confidence in), it's happening to another already, and countless others I've read are having the same issue. I hope that I don't run into the issue in a real emergency.
Rear passenger doors will not open even when unlocked, child safety feature is not on. This is a safety concern in an emergency situation. Doors will not open from the inside or outside.
Left passenger door will not open. I have found multiple examples on the internet. The door will not open using the inside or outside handle.
I am having the same problem as hundreds of others were the door actuators in 3/4 of my doors no longer function properly. Driver's side rear door cannot be opened from the inside or out. Front two doors have to be opened from the inside. Passenger side rear door is the only one that works properly.
THE LEFT SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE .. ALSO NOW THE DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. NOT BEING ABLE TO GET MY CHILD IN OR OUT OF THE CAR ON THE LEFT SIDE IS VERY WORRIESOME IF THERE WAS ANY TYPE OF AN EMERGANCY. IT HAS NOT BEEN INSPECTED AS OF YET BUT I AM TAKING IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW 6.17.21. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOTIFICATION DESCRIBING THE DEFECT OF THE DOORS.
The locking mechanism of the driver's door as well as the rear door on the driver's side has malfunctioned. The driver's door requires the exterior handle to be pulled 3-6 times before the door will open (it opens on the first pull from the inside. The rear door does not open at all from either the inside or the outside. The issue with the driver's door started to occur in Feb 2021, or at approximately 50k - 55k miles. The issue with the rear door started to occur in May 2021, or at approximately 55k - 58k miles. I have not yet had the issue inspected by a dealer or independent mechanic, but will be soon. The rear door is a significant safety issue. If a severe enough accident occurred including a fire or rollover, or a collision to the passenger side that rendered the passenger side doors inoperable, occupants in the rear seat would not be able to exit the vehicle. I am also worried that the driver's door and possibly the passenger side doors will begin to not function at all. I have ready on many Hyundai forums that this is a common issue to all Hyundai models manufactured in the 2010s.
UNKNOWN- the rear passenger door won’t open from the outside or the inside of the car. And now this issue is happening with both rear doors and the drivers side door. In order to get into the drivers seat, you have to get in through the passenger side door and crawl over. When I Google this safety concern, it seems like this has happened too many people. I’m concerned because if this has happened to others and if anyone gets into a car accident, no one can get out, without trying to break a window and crawl out.
My front passenger door and rear driver passenger door will not open from the outside or the inside. Issue with door latch mechanism. Mechanism was repaired approx. 1 yr ago on passenger rear door. Safety issue since doors can not be opened from inside if am emergency happened. Child age 5 rides in car regularly. Big safety concern.
Passenger side rear door lock failed at 71000 miles. Could not open door from outside or inside.
Driver's side rear door will not open. Was working fine - then suddenly neither the inside nor outside handle will open door when unlocked. This is a concerning safety issue since I use this vehicle to transport my 2 grandchildren in car seats - and creates a hazardous situation in an emergency. Internet forums are full of reports of this same issue with this particular year/model of Tucson. Also - there is evidence that Hyundai Korea is aware of this problem - and has initiated steps to offer owners replacement of all door latches to remedy the issue. Here is a weblink to the Korean page that spells out some of the details: http://www.consumerwide.com/news/articleView.html?idxno=37459 FYI - I have owned and driven cars for almost 50 years - and have never had a vehicle where the vehicle doors just stopped functioning like this....
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door had ceased in the lock position. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 89,362.
I had a problem with my driver door not opening when I originally purchased this vehicle 2 years ago. The dealer fixed it for me that time. It happened again to my rear driver side door. It starts off taking a few pulls to open the door, then after a couple weeks, the door stops unlatching all together, can’t open it from the inside or outside. Rear passenger door went a few months after that, so I have no access to the back seat. Drivers door just started having the problem again too. Was told the problem was the door lock actuator when I initially got it fixed. From what I can tell, a lot of people have this problem, it’s a know issue with the 2016 Tucson’s, and a safety issue at that. What if there are children or elderly people in the back seat and this was an issue during a car crash? I can’t pay to replace a bad part every few months only to have the problem happen again. Hyundai needs to offer a solution to this problem, not just replacing the same faulty part.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the front and rear driver’s side doors failed to open using the interior or exterior door handles. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.
The drivers door and drivers Side back door doesn’t open from the inside or the outside. It opens after like 10 tries of yanking on it. This is a serious issue if I had to get out of there quickly or if I had someone in the back that couldn’t climb. I should have to climb out of my car. Recall this.
Passenger side door will not open even though it is unlocked. Steering wheel shaft is going out and rattles when driving. not safe and could cause an accident or death
Oil consume really fast, or Oil burn really quick (it supposed to works 5000 miles after oil change, but its burn about 1500-2000 miles). Because of that problem engine get heat really quick and their is maximum possibility for fire (due to heat), fire may cause lack of engine oil. Power (pick up) of car is really low, it is really slow when stop and go on the road, either FREEWAY or on the Street way. If a car could not pick up or drive forward as normal standard their is great possibility for accident, in freeway more possible and street way as well. I made web based research about these problems, most of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson facing this problem, means this is not my personal problem but THERE IS PROBLEM ALL OF HYUNDAI TUSCON of THIS MODEL. So, Hyundai must solve this problem. Because they know car was defective while they sold us, but defect broke out after long time. There are several 2016 Hyundai Tucson facing typically same problem. This fact proved that car was defective while they sold it to their customers. Most of the time I change oil and do servicing at Hyundai Dealer, but they never tell me about this problem. But When I realized it my warranty was expired. I went to inspect my vehicle with Hyundai Dealer but they want to charge to cure this problem, but, if their is manufacturing defect they have to take care free of cost. Because while they sale the car they did not revealed this problem it is misrepresentation. Police, Insurance Representatives or other did not inspected my vehicle. Their were not any warning lamps message or other symptoms of the problem until now, but when we drive we can feel it. Please do the web based short research to confirm my issues, and help us to solve this problem. In addition, they did not notice me about 2020 break recall, I know this form this web site today.
Left turn signal glitches and indicates right turn signal instead of left, like prompted. Driver window does not roll down or up. completely locked and does not respond to the switch
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that a week after purchasing the vehicle, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The mechanic was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The mechanic informed the contact that the warning light would be reset. While performing a final test drive, the mechanic became aware of smoke coming from under the hood of the vehicle. The mechanic pulled over and attempted to open the hood but was unable to do so. The mechanic then noticed fire coming from underneath the vehicle. The fire department arrived and extinguished the fire. No one was injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard by the police. The contact was made aware that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) which was the cause of the fire. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
Passenger door lock won’t unlock from inside or outside. 4-year old Grandson could not get out This happened before with the passenger front seat door. Took to dealer and fixed. I am seeing online that many people are having the same problem. This could be dangerous.
My back passenger door will not open from the inside or outside.
Two doors will not unlock or open.If in a wreck you are trapped. Dealer said I would have to pay to fix the car. Car will not speed up when on a rough road, which other cars will run over you. Mileage 90122
My passenger side door and back door not opening from outside. We have a kid in the seat so we have a child lock in the back. Because of that we couldn't able to open the door. When I called hyundai about that they said they will first evaluate for that I need to pay and then they charge me for the 2 doors. This is very absurd.
The diver side rear door will not open. Does not open from outside or the inside. If this happens to the other rear door a person could get trapped inside the car.
I have had three of the four doors unable to open at different time before repairing them. This is a safety issue putting my daughter trapped in the vehicle with the only way out to climb over the seats. If in an accident she would be unable to get out of the car quickly. I don't understand why this hasn't been addressed by NHTSA yet. Having a vehicle that could trap you in it is unsafe. One door was repaired when still under warranty, the next was repaired and paid for and now it's happened to another door that needs repairs and finally the drivers door appears it's going to have the same thing happen to it. Currently once the vehicle is unlocked you have to pull on the door handle twice before it opens. First pull still feels locked second pull opens it.
When unlocking the doors with key fob, all the doors besides the driver's side, will open. The drivers side won't open at first. Have to unlock and relock the car several times just to open the door on the drivers side. The same thing is happening when sitting inside the passenger seat on the left handside of the driver, the door won't open from inside out. The door has to be open by someone on the outside. This is been happening a lot to many people.
The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated the vehicle's rear passenger door failed to open and close. The rear driver's side door failed intermittently, and the front passenger's side door required several attempts to open or close the door from the outside before opening and closing successfully. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 60,500.

Had to replace 2 door latches on passenger side in 2020. 3 months later the rear passenger on driver side is also defective. Can't open door from inside OR outside. This is a major safety issue. 3 out of 4 door latches failed.
My rear passenger side door does not open from the inside of the car and also from the outside of the car when unlocked. This is a huge safety concern as anyone sitting in the back seat would be trapped inside the car in an emergency especially if my grandson were strapped in his car seat in the back and I had to get him out of the car as quickly as possible in an emergency. I called the dealership where I bought the car and they acted surprised even though this is clearly a known issue as I discovered while researching this problem on various blogs. I haven't taken my car to the dealership yet, I'm trying to determine if this will be covered under my 5 years/60,000 mile warranty as my car is right on the edge with my car having 55,000 miles and being 5 years and 2 months old. This problem happened very suddenly and we had no warning at all. The door worked when we left home for a trip and when we reached our first stop 60 miles later, the door would not open from inside or outside.
Passenger front and rear doors do not open. Latches frozen and dog was trapped in front seat. Dog was able to crawl over driver seat to get out. Dealership Atlantic Hyundai in West Islip NY evaluated car and will charge over $1600 to repair two doors with 68,000 miles on car out of warranty. This problem is corrected in Korea without a charge, according to my internet research.
When driving uphill on Vasco Rd between Brentwood, Ca & Livermore, CA started slowing down the more gas I gave the slower it went then suddenly there was a clattering sound all panel lights came on and engine died and would not restart. Tow truck driver said my engine blew. I usually get my oil changed between 5k & 7k . I just had my oil changed 600 miles ago. It is a 2.0 Hyundai 2016 Tucson. I read the NHTSA fined Hyundai for failure to recall engine failures on their 4 cyn and wondered if my car should have been included in any recalls.
PASSENGER SIDE DOORS, FRONT & REAR, FAIL TO UNLOCK OR OPEN WITH THE INTERIOR DOOR LOCK SWITCH ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR OR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. USING THE LOCK/UNLOCK ON THE KEY FOB DOES NOT WORK, EITHER. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
Rear Passenger Door won't open and driver side door is getting stuck. Have 2 pull drivers side door to get it to open.
The left-back passenger door now will not open from outside. I think it is a safety issue. In case of an accident, I would able to get my kids fast from the car.
Passenger side door ( front) and driver side door (rear) are getting increasingly difficult to open even when they are unlocked.
The passenger side front and rear doors can no longer be opened either from the inside or outside even when th vehicle is unlocked. The mechanism that activates the latches seems to be working as it can be heard on both doors, but the latches themselves seem to fail frequently. This results in a safety hazard since exiting the vehicle in case of an accident where the the only side that's not blocked is the right one becomes impossible except by crawling through the door windows which may not fit the occupant(s).
THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER’S AND PASSENGER’S SIDE DOORS ALONG WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER’S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE USING THE DOOR HANDLES.

CAR FAILS TO MOVE FORWARD FROM STOPPED POSITION. WHEN GAS PEDDLE IS APPLIED PRESSURE, CAR DOES NOT MOVE, ENGINE REVS UP AND THEN CAR LUNGES FORWARD. IN SLOW TRAFFIC, CAR LUNGES FORWARD WITH NO ACCELERATION ON THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, CAR WILL CEASE TO MOVE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS AND THEN TAKE OFF. WE ARE EXTREMELY WORRIED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE.
BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN NEITHER FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE, THE DOOR ACTUATORS FAILED 3 MONTHS APART. I'M VERY CONCERN CHILDERN ARE INVOLVED, AND I AM NOT SAFETY CONFIDENT WITH THE OTHER TWO FRONT DOORS! THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY MATTER - HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE EXCEPT REPLACE THE ACTUATORS WITH THE SAME STYLE FAULTY ACTUATORS THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN - THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY
DOORS WON'T OPEN. DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. CURRENT REPLACEMENT DOES NOT FIX... AND PROBLEM REPEATS. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO FIX AND RECALL. THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM FOR THIS CAR AND A CRAZY SAFETY ISSUE!
PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG IS FAULTY. DEALER STATED THAT THERE IS NO OBVIOUS REASON WHY IT WOULD BE DAMAGED. THERE WAS A SIMILAR RECALL ON THESE PASSENGER AIRBAGS FOR A PREVIOUS MODEL.
WHILE STOPPED,, WITH CAR POWERED BOTH ON AND OFF, REAR LEFT DOOR LOCK MECHANISM WORKING BUT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE.
THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR SUDDENLY WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE CHILD LOCK WAS DISENGAGED, AND NO AMOUNT OF LOCKING/UNLOCKING WOULD FIX IT. WE WERE IN THE CAR AND IT WORKED NORMALLY, THEN WHEN WE ARRIVED TO OUR DESTINATION COULD NOT GET MY KIDS OUT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE DOOR HANDLE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT HAPPENED OUT OF NOWHERE. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AS NOT ONLY COULD I BIT GET MY KIDS OUT QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY, I ALSO CAN'T LET THEM OUT CURBSIDE, AND AM FORCED TO PULL THEM OUT OF THE BACK SEAT WITH CARS FLYING BY. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS WITH ALL OF THE REMAINING DOORS FAILING, AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A CHRONIC WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI VEHICLES, AND TUCSONS IN PARTICULAR. I'M FEARFUL THAT THE DOORS WILL JUST SEIZE UP AND WE WON'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR.

JUST SHORT OF 63,000 MILES, MY KEY FOB QUIT UNLOCKING THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR IN IT'S NORMAL SEQUENCE. I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING "UNLOCK" SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE LOCK OPENS. THE OTHER DOORS SEEM RESPONSIVE AT THIS TIME. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES I HAVE HAD TO USE THE KEY. THE SAFETY OF BEING ABLE TO QUICKLY UNLOCK MY DOORS WHEN APPROACHING MY CAR IN MY CARPORT OR IN A PUBLIC SPACE IS COMPROMISED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME OR VERY SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES ON THE IDENTICAL MAKE AND MODEL HYUNDAI. IT SEEMS TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ACTUATOR.

MULTIPLE SENSORS AND LIGHTS ON THE DASH ARE ILLUMINATED, INCLUDING THE AIRBAGS, BRAKES, TRACTION CONTROL, HILL ASSIST, TIRE PRESSURE, ETC. I'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS RELATED TO A VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. OTHER HYUNDAIS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE, BUT MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP AS COVERED. THIS IS AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THE CAR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY, AND IF THE SENSOR ARE NOT FUNCTIONING, PROPERLY, THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THAT THE AIRBAGS OR OTHER SAFETY SYSTEMS WILL FUNCTION AS INTENDED WITH THIS UNDERLYING PROBLEM. THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE 1.6 TUCSONS, AS IT'S OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE ACROSS THE MANUFACTURER AND MULTIPLE MODELS.

THEY SAID THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PART (FOR THIS VERY IMPORTANT RECALL WHERE I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR) AND THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PART ARRIVED. THAT WAS ON 3/22/2021. THEY ADVISED IT WOULD TAKE 2 WEEKS. TODAY IS 4/29/2021 AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS PLACED ON HOLD. THEY CAME BACK ONLINE AND ASKED IF I WANTED TO LEAVE MY NAME AND NUMBER AND SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK. I SAID "NO" BECAUSE I KNEW NO ONE WOULD CALL ME BACK AND WAS PLACED ON HOLD AGAIN. DURING THIS TIME FRAME I HAVE RECEIVED REPEATED MAIL FROM HYUNDAI WANTING ME TO TRADE IN MY CAR FOR A NEW ONE. THEY AGAIN CAME ON THE LINE AND SAID "NO ONE WAS AVAILABLE TO TAKE MY CALL". I HUNG UP.

THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER HYUNDAI OF LAS VEGAS (7150 W SAHARA AVE STE B, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND AN APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
REAR VEHICLE DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE, PROGRESSIVE IN NATURE OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL MONTHS. AT THE TIME OF REPAIR, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. MY ELDERLY MOTHER WITH LIMITED MOBILITY WAS STUCK IN THE BACK OF THE CAR FOR OVER AN HOUR UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR DOOR OPEN. IF MY MOTHER WAS IN AN EMERGENT MEDICAL SITUATION, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER OUT. I CAN'T IMAGINE IF A MOTHER WITH YOUNG CHILDREN AND CAR SEATS WOULD MANAGE IN A SAFETY SITUATION. THIS COULD BE A SITUATION BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS ONLY MINIMALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS. IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO PAY $898.23 TO BE ABLE TO OPEN AND CLOSE THE DOORS ON A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY SITUATION THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED OVER AND OVER AGAIN ACROSS MANY CAR WEBSITES. WE HAVE BEEN A LONGTIME HYUNDAI CUSTOMER, AND FIND THE LACK OF RECALL FOR SUCH A GLARING SAFETY SITUATION UNACCEPTABLE. AT SOME POINT, SOMEONE WILL LOSE THEIR LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS. I STRONGLY URGE THAT THIS MATTER BE LOOKED INTO IN DEPTH, AND THAT THIS WOULD RESULT IN A SAFETY RECALL. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTS FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR TO THE DOORS THAT SPECIFICALLY STATE THEIR CONCERNS FOR THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. BEING ABLE TO GET INTO AND OUT OF A CAR SAFELY IS NOT A LUXURY, IT IS A NECESSITY. TO PAY NEARLY 1,000 DOLLARS TO DO SO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, AND A PROBLEM TRUST WITH HYUNDAI PRODUCTS. I STRONGLY URGE YOUR ORGANIZATION TO LOOK INTO THE HUGE AND GROWING NUMBER OF HYUNDAI TUSCON SUVS THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND TO INITIATE A SAFETY RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STATIONARY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. NEITHER A DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 109,000.
DRIVER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN WAS UNLOCK IT IS A SAFETY MATTER YOU CAN NOT GET INTO YOUR CAR IF YOUR LIFE IS THREATENED OR CHILD IS SIDE YOU CAN NOT GET DOOR OPEN . YOU CAN HERE IT U LOCK BUT JUST PULLING HANDLE WITH OUT ENTER. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND COMPANY WANT FIX THIS SAFETY MATTER A RECALL NEED TO BE DONE
NEITHER BACK DOOR WILL OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. MY DRIVER DOOR HANDLE TAKES TWO PULLS TO OPEN AFTER BEING UNLOCKED. MY SECOND ROW IS ESSENTIALLY NON-USABLE. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI'S YET HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD.
YES, I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. IN 2019 I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY DOOR OPENING ON MY DRIVER SIDE. DEALERSHIP DID DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND OUT THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS BAD AND THEY REPLACED UNDER HYUNDAI WARRANTY. 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY PASSENGER REAR DOOR. THIS TIME, THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL! FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. IT WAS COMPLETELY STUCK SHUT. A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO A FATALITY DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION OF THE VEHICLE. AGAIN, TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID THE DIAGNOSTIC FINDING THE SAME ISSUE AS BEFORE AND REPLACED THE DOOR ACTUATOR. NOW IT IS APRIL OF 2021 AND I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH MY PASSENGER DOOR. SAME ISSUE, BUT NOW MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST.
THE DOOR ACTUATORS ON THE HYUNDAI KEEP FAILING WHICH MAKES IT SO THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED 2 AND HAD 2 MORE GO OUT THIS PAST WEEK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. HYUNDAI WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE IT IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN POSING A SAFETY CONCERN. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. HYUNDAI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE.
BOTH MY FRONT AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAVE BEEN FAILING TO OPEN ON MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. RECENTLY MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HAS COMPLETLY FAILED TO OPEN (INSIDE AND OUTSIDE) LEAVING ME WITH ONE DOOR TO ACCESS MY CHILD IN THE BACKSEAT. I HAVE TO PULL MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR HANDLE MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER FOR IT TO "CATCH" AND OPEN. I TOOK THE CAR TO LITHIA HYUNDAI OF FRESNO AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT I NEED TO REPAIR BOTH ACTUATORS AND IT IS NOT CONSIDERED A "SAFETY ISSUE" MORE OF A "WEAR AND TEAR" ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE KIDS AND NEED TO GET OUT IN AN EMERGENCY.
BACK PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ISSUE. DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE THE CAR OR OUTSIDE THE CAR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I COULD NOT GET MY GRANDDAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER LOCKING AND THEN UNLOCKING THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS, BOTH DOORS COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS WERE REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HIS DRIVEWAY, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,518.
MULTIPLE DOORS UNABLE TO OPEN WHEN MANUALLY UNLOCKED, FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE AND ALSO FROM THE INSIDE HANDLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.
WHEN PARKED WITH EITHER THE ENGINE RUNNING OR NOT, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR REQUIRES REPEATED PULLS ON EXTERIOR HANDLE TO OPEN AN UNLOCKED DOOR. DOOR OPENS FINE USING INTERIOR HANDLE. THIS PROBLEM BEGAN APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH AGO AND NOW THE DRIVER'S DOOR IS EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. BOTH DOORS OPEN FINE FROM INTERIOR HANDLES BUT REQUIRE MULTIPLE (UP TO 5-6) PULLS TO OPEN WITH EXTERIOR HANDLES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS TROUBLESOME THAT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS NOW EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS. UPON CHECKING ONLINE, I SEE POSTS DESCRIBING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH 2015/2016 TUCSONS.
PASSENGER FRONT AND DRIVER REAR DOORS DO NOT OPEN TO GET IN OR OUT OF VEHICLE. YOU GET STUCK IN THE CAR AND CANNOT EXIT OUT THESE DOORS! REAL SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU GET STUCK IN THE CAR.
RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. NOW THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE DRIVER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN ALWAYS WHEN USING THE KEY FOB EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY MECHANISMS. I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAITUCSON LTD BUT AM READING ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY 2015-2017 HYUNDAI OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. MY GRANDCHILDREN ARE AT RISK IN THE BACKSEAT! PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS ISSUE QUICKLY.
RIGHT REAR DOOR STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE EVEN WHEN UNLOCKED.
OUT OF NOWHERE, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR REFUSES TO OPEN. THE REMOTE CAN LOCK/UNLOCK THE LOCKING KNOB, BUT THE DOOR IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN A STATIONARY STATE. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM AMONGST 2016 TUCSON OWNERS. PLEASE REFER TO TWO ONLINE FORUMS. HTTPS://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/THREADS/REAR-PASSENGER-DOOR-WONT-OPEN.603329/ HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T57988_DS1084478 ALSO, IN KOREA, THE SAME VEHICLE IS ON RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCH PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE DOOR DOES NOT OPERATE IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, HOW CAN SOMEBODY EXIT FROM THE CAR TO SAFETY?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR COULD NOT BE UNLOCKED, AND WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT YET DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER LEXINGTON PARK HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 22514 THREE NOTCH RD, LEXINGTON PARK, MD 20653 WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.*DT
THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT STARTED OUT AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WHERE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN ON THE FIRST OR SECOND TRY BUT WOULD EVENTUALLY OPEN. IT QUICKLY BECAME A PERMANENT PROBLEM WHERE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE BACK SEAT AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN BOTH REAR DOORS TO GET THEM IN AND OUT OF THE VEHICLE.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND MUST BE ON A RECALL LIST. HYUNDAI TUCSON PRODUCED BETWEEN 2015 AND 2016 HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IN KOREA, HYUNDAI KOREA HAS BEEN REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE. (SEE BELOW KOREAN SITE) HTTP://WWW.CONSUMERWIDE.COM/NEWS/ARTICLEVIEW.HTML?IDXNO=37459 HYUNDAI USA SHOULD DO THE SAME. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!
OUR CAR FRONT DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK FROM THE OUTSIDE WITH THE REMOTE FOB OR THE DOOR HANDLE. THE ONLY WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR IS TO USE THE HANDLE ON THE INSIDE OF THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENS CONTINUALLY NOW & STARTED HAPPENING ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO FOR NO IDENTIFIABLE REASON. WHEN APPROACHING THE CAR TO GO FOR A DRIVE, WE HAVE TO OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FIRST & REACH ACROSS TO THE DRIVER SIDE & UNLOCK FROM THE INTERIOR. NO OTHER WAY TO DO IT. WE SEARCHED ONLINE AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI SUVS, WITH OTHER INSTANCES OF DOORS NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INTERIOR EITHER. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE IS A MALFUNCTIONING DOOR "ACTUATOR". SOME CASES HAVE HAD TO COMPLETELY DESTROY THE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL TO BE ABLE TO ACCESS THE MECHANISMS OF THE DOOR TO REPLACE THE ACTUATOR. SINCE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, AND A SAFETY ISSUE IF PEOPLE CANNOT OPEN DOORS FROM INSIDE OR OUT, THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. REALLY THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CANNOT OPEN YOUR DOOR TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. PLEASE EVALUATE THIS ASAP & HAVE HYUNDAI ISSUE A RECALL.
WHEN TRYING TO GET INTO MY CAR, I UNLOCK MY DOORS. WITH ALL DOORS UNLOCKED I TRY TO ENTER THE DRIVER DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT TAKES MULTIPLE POOLS ON THE HANDLE FOR THE DRIVE DOOR TO GET THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR TO RELEASE AND OPEN THE DOOR. MY DOOR BECOMES STUCK AND I AM UNABLE TO GET INSIDE MY VEHICLE. THIS CAN BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE, IN DARK PARKING LOTS, UNSAFE LOCATIONS, PREVENTING ME FROM GETTING IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI DEALER. THEY STATES NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY DOOR AND IT WORKS FINE. THIS WAS APPROX APR IN 2020. BEGINNING THIS WEEK MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOW ALSO NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, EVEN IF MY DOOR IS UNLOCKED. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I PULL THE HANDLE THE PASSENGER DOOR WONT RELEASE FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE.
THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE AFTER IT HAS BEEN LOCKED AND UNLOCKED WITH KEY FOB OR KEY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND LOCKED WITH KEY FOB THEN WOULD NOT OPEN. YOU HAVE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OPEN FROM INSIDE.
THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAS STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED, AND AFTER WORKING CORRECTLY JUST MINUTES BEFORE, NOW IT WON'T OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CAR, IT IS STUCK IN THE CLOSED POSITION AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE AS THAT IS THE SIDEWALK FACING DOOR WHICH WON'T OPEN FORCING PEOPLE TO EXIT ON THE STREET SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AFFECTING MANY 2016 TUCSON CUSTOMERS. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T57988_DS1084478
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR OR THE EXTERIOR. IT WAS PARKED AND I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR AND IT WILL NOT MOVE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT GET OUT THAT DOOR. THIS HAPPENED TO 2 OTHER DOORS ALSO. ONE WAS COVERED BECAUSE IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, IT IS NOW PAST MY WARRANTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE PASSENGER'S AND DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
WHEN DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, SUCH AS IN A LINE OF CARS GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THRU, THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SKIP. ALMOST HOPPING ALONG RATHER THAN SLOWLY MOVING. I HAVE OBSERVED IT HAPPENING IN BOTH ECO MODE AND REGULAR DRIVING MODE. THIS IS NOT A CONSTANT BUT FREQUENT. I ALSO HAVE INSTANCES OF WHERE IT DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED AND TAKES TIME TO SHIFT GEARS. I THINK IT MAY BE THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING AND NOT SHIFTING GEARS APPROPRIATELY CAUSING IT TO HOP OR JUMP. AT ALL TIME THE CARE WAS IN MOTION AND ON CITY STREETS NEVER ON A HIGHWAYS.
3 OF THE 4 DOORS DO NOT OPEN EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE , I GET SCARED NOW NOT KNOWING IF I'M GOING TO GET TRAPPED IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL INTERMITTENTLY NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE LOCK CLICKS APPROPRIATELY WHEN LOCKED AND UNLOCKED BUT THE DOOR WILL STILL NOT OPEN. AFTER LOTS OF ATTEMPTS IT WILL SUDDENLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THEN LATER WHEN YOU TRY AGAIN, IT WON'T OPEN AGAIN.
ON MY 2016 HYUNDIA TUCSON THE LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK AND CAN NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. SOMETIMES I COULD HIT THE DOOR AND IT WOULD OPEN BUT NOW IT WILL NOT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN OR UNLOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000.
UNEXPECTED CHECK ENGINE AND ENGINE OIL PRESSURE LIGHTS CAME. THERE WAS A SUDDEN KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT/ENGINE AREA SO I PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TO TURN OFF. TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK ON AND WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR (THEN A DAY LATER'DOORS) WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT EVEN WHEN MANUALLY UNLOCKED WHETHER OR NOT THE CAR IS ON OR OFF. WE WERE ON A TRIP AT THE TIME AND OUR KIDS WERE HAVING TO CRAWL OVER FROM THE FRONT SEAT. WE CALLED HYUNDAI. THEIR TEMPORARY FIX WAS TO UNLOCK THE CAR AND JERK THE HANDLE HARD FROM THE OUTSIDE. THEY SAID THAT THE SYSTEM SOMETIMES' FREEZES UP'. THIS WORKS FROM THE OUTSIDE (NOT INSIDE), AND CONTINUES TO FREEZE UP EVEN AFTER ' THE HYUNDAI FIX'. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2016 HYUNDAI MODELS. IF YOU LOOK UP THE PROBLEM ONLINE, YOU WILL SEE MANY POSTS ABOUT IT.
1.DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. IT EVENTUALLY WORKED BY PULLING REALLY HARD FROM OUTSIDE. 2. DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE BUT WILL FROM INSIDE. IT IS OBVIOUSLY UNLOCKED WHEN TRYING TO OPEN. THE ACTUATOR IS THE MOST LIKELY COMPONENT THAT IS FAILING. THE MECHANISM WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY EITHER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT'S 100 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I CAN'T GET A CHILD OUT OF THE BACKSEAT. OR FOR FIRST RESPONDERS SENT TO AID SOMEONE TRAPPED IN THE CAR. I'VE READ OF MULTIPLE FAILURES AFTER SEARCHING FOR THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. IT HAPPENS A LOT TO MANY HUNDAI MODELS OVER THE PAST 6-8 YEARS.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON NO LONGER OPENS AT ALL, FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. AS I HAVE A YOUNG CHILD AND NEPHEWS WHO ARE REGULARLY IN MY CAR IN CAR SEATS, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. APPARENTLY, HYUNDAI IS NOT WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT, WHICH I HAVE FOUND IS A PROBLEM ACROSS MANY HYUNDAI YEARS AND MODELS. THE COST OF A DEALERSHIP TO FIX IS UPWARDS OF $1000, WHICH IS PROHIBITIVE AND UNREALISTIC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK USING THE KEYFOB. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF FAILURE AND HAD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR. THE CONTACT CALLED SUNTRUP HYUNDAI SOUTH (5926 S LINDBERGH BLVD, ST. LOUIS, MO 63123, (314) 254-8977) ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND LEFT VOICE MESSAGES EACH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,400.
REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED. WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE OR FROM WITHIN THE VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUDDERED, SHOOK, AND VIBRATED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL SHOWED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CARSON CITY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 3659 S CARSON ST, CARSON CITY, NV 89701 WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT YET NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY WAS PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000.
THREE OF THE FOUR DOORS HAVE DEFECTS WHICH PREVENT THEM FROM OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE DOOR LOCK ACUATOR IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE RIGHT FRONT DOOR WAS REPLACED IN 2018. ONE OF THE BACK DOORS WAS REPLACED IN 2020, AND NOW THE OTHER BACK DOOR WON'T OPEN DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE. I OFTEN TRANSPORT CHILDREN AND AN ELDERLY GRANDPARENT, ALL OF WHOM SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. IF I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET THEM OUT OF THE VEHICLE. ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE, I'M NOW CONCERNED THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL STOP WORKING SOON, MEANING I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT ALL. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SUPPORT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS 1,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO (CONVERSATION 4/5/21). FIVE STAR HYUNDAI OF MACON REFUSED TO PUT IN A REQUEST TO OVER-RIDE THE WARRANTY TO GET IT FIXED, SINCE CLEARLY IT IS A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HASN'T BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THIS ISSUE AND HYUNDAI IS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE, AS IT FREQUENTLY OCCURS WITH TUCSONS AND ELANTRAS (PER CONVERSATION WITH FIVE STAR HYUNDAI), YET REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT 61,000 MILES THEY ARE SAYING IT IS NO LONGER THEIR RESPONSIBILITY AND ARE NOT OFFERING TO ASSIST IN ANY WAY. THE BLIND SPOT DETECTOR IS ALSO MALFUNCTIONING, NOT NOTIFYING WHEN A VEHICLE IS NEXT TO MINE AND OCCASIONALLY GOING OFF WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE AT ALL. FIVE STAR MACON SAID THIS IS ALSO NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANYMORE AND SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHY IT WOULD BE A PROBLEM BUT WOULD REQUIRE THEM REMOVING MY BUMPER AND DOING EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC WORK BEFORE THEY'D KNOW HOW TO FIX IT.

NHTSA RECALL #20V-543 RELATES TO MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE ABS MODULES CAN CORRODE INTERNALLY AND CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT AND ENGINE FIRE.THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT IS OUT OF THE PARTS NEEDED. I CALLED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THEY HAVE NO WAY TO TRACK THE INVENTORY TO FIND OUT WHERE I CAN GO FOR THE REPAIR! HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE AND WHERE? THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT OPEN BACK DOOR, AND FRONT DOOR HANDLE DRIVER SIDE MUST BE PULLED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE OPENING. REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. LATCH MECHANISM NOT WORKING PROPERLY.

OCCUPANTS COULD BE TRAPPED. 4 MOS OUTSIDE OF 5 YR WARRANTY. 200 MILES REMAINING ON 60,000 MI WARRANTY. $800 REPAIR AT WWW.HYUNDAIOFORANGEPARK.COM/. HYUNDAI MESSAGE BOARD SAY TO EXPECT PASSENGER SIDE TO FAIL SOON AS WELL.
FOR NO APPARENT REASON, THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS PARKED OR IN MOTION. THE POWER DOOR LOCK BUTTON OPERATES CORRECTLY, BUT THE RR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN EITHER FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY DAMAGE TO THE DOOR, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR VEHICLE. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE VEHICLE CATCH FIRE, OR BE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION WITH A CHILD IN THE REAR SEAT. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE " WHY WON'T MY RR DOOR OPEN ON MY 2016 TUCSON". I'VE LEARNED THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS SINCE 2018. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER YET, BUT I PLAN TO SOON. SOME VEHICLE OWNERS HAVE PAID THE DEALER OVER $1,300 TO REPAIR THE DOOR. I AM A RETIRED POLICE INVESTIGATOR, AND I KNOW THE DANGER THAT SUCH AN ISSUE LIKE THIS CAN CAUSE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A NATIONAL RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED
THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS UNLOCKING MECHANISMS STOP WORKING. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL WORK BUT THE MECHANISM INSIDE THE DOOR WILL NOT FUNCTION COMPLETELY AND KEEPS YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO GET INTO YOUR CAR.
DRIVER'S REAR DOOR NO LONGER OPENS RELIABLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE FIRST STEP TO A COMMON PROBLEM OF THE DOORS BECOMING COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. HYUNDAI SEEMS UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM.
R/R DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILURE. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANYONE IN REAR SEAT TO EXIT VEHICLE. APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE THAT ISN'T ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. PASSENGER GOT INTO CAR WITH NO ISSUE. 15 MIN DRIVE AND WHEN ARRIVED AT DESTINATION DOOR WAS INOPERABLE. LOCKS/UNLOCKS WITH NO ISSUE. WHEN PULL HANDLE FROM INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR NO RESPONSE INSIDE THE DOOR. $500+ TO FIX
MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WAS FAILING TO ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP, AND SHUDDERING / SLOWING DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS VERY ALARMING ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING ON BUSY ROADS IN WHICH YOU COULD EASILY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BY NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI TO FIND OUT IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (AGAIN, IN 2021) - WHILE I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL IN 2016 FOR THIS ISSUE I WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD NOT COVER THE COSTS OF REPAIR. I HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTACT BACK. MY VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND I AM BEING TOLD I WILL BE CHARGED STORAGE FEES IF I LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER WITHOUT REPAIR WHILE I WAIT TO SETTLE MY CLAIM. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, DUE TO AN ISSUE THAT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN RECALLED.
I HAD MY VEHICLES OIL CHANGE COMPLETED 3/17/21. ON 3/31/21 MY VEHICLES OIL LIGHT DISPLAYED AS HAVING NO OIL. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED AND WENT BACK TO THE OIL CHANGE CENTER I'VE GONE TO FOR THE 3 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THEY ASSURED ME THERE WAS NO LEAK. I LOOKED UP THE ISSUE ON THE INTERNET ONLY TO FIND I AM ONE OF MANY WITH THIS ISSUE. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR ENGINE REPAIRS ESPECIALLY WHEN I'VE BEEN CONSISTENT WITH MY OIL CHANGE MAINTENANCE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THESE REPAIRS OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLES LIKE VOLKSWAGEN HAD TO DO A FEW YEARS AGO.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V543000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF NORTH CHARLESTON (8485 RIVERS AVE, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC 29406) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
WHILE DRIVE MY CAR STARTED MARKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND JUMPING BACK AND FORTH AND THE OIL CAME ON. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED MY SON. HE CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT, THERE WAS NO OIL IN IT. HE PUT OIL IN AND AND I TRIED TO DRIVE HOME. THE CAR HAD NO POWER AND SHUT DOWN ON ME AND MY SON HAD TO TOW ME HOME. THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS CAME ON 50 TIMES AND IN THE LAST YEAR AND THEM GOES OFF. I TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP 10 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON, USUALLY IT GOES OFF BEFORE I GET THERE. THEY ALWAYS CLAIMED THERE WAS NOT A PROBLEM AND SAID I GOT BAD GAS IN IT.
WHILE RUNNING ERRANDS DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AFTER BEING UNLOCKED WITH REMOTE OR WITH BUTTON ON HANDLE. DRIVER DOOR WOULD ONLY OPEN WHEN OPENED FROM THE INSIDE THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WILL UNLOCK BUT DRIVERS DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS SEEMS TO OCCUR WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AFTER IT HAS BEEN LOCKED.
I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM OPENING UP MY DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR SENSE SUMMER OF 2020 SO I'VE TAKEN THE BACK DOOR PANEL OFF AND I PULL ON THE WIRE FROM THE INSIDE TO OPEN IT UP. I'VE DEALT WITH THAT JUST FINE IT'S IRRITATING BUT NOW MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT IS NOT WANTING TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE DO I HAVE TO READ ACROSS AND OPEN UP THE DOOR IF ANYBODY IS GOING TO BE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. NOW THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAS STARTED DOING IT. SO NOW I'M EXPECTED TO CLIMB IN TRUE THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR AND UP INTO THE FRONT SEAT OR OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE AND THEN WALK BACK AROUND MY CAR. THAT IS UNTIL THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR DECIDES TO START DOING THE SAME THING AND THEN I GUESS I'LL HAVE TO CLIMB IN THROUGH THE TRUNK? OR MAYBE THAT'LL BE THE NEXT ONE TO GO? ANOTHER ISSUE THAT HAVE BEEN HAVING A LOT OF TROUBLE WITH IS THE FRONT INTERIOR DOME OR THE CONSOLE THE PASSENGER SIDE LIGHT DOESN'T LIKE TO COME ON MOST OF THE TIME, BUT OCCASIONALLY IT DOES. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE FRONT HEADLIGHTS AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS. SO THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN NEEDING TO BE REPLACED MORE OFTEN THAN I EVER HEARD OF ANYBODY REPLACING THEM, LESS THAN 6 MONTH SOMETIMES. OTHER TIMES THAT HAD LIKE JUST GOES OUT AND THEN I HAVE TO GET UNDER THE HOOD AND HOPEFULLY GET THE CAP OFF SO THAT I CAN PLAY WITH THE FITTING AND HOPE THAT IT WILL COME BACK ON. BECAUSE I ACTUALLY DO MOST OF MY DRIVING IN THE DARK WHEN IT'S NIGHT TIME SO I KIND OF NEED MY LIGHTS. SOMETIMES THAT DOESN'T WORK BUT THE NEXT MORNING I WILL TURN ON THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT IS WORKING AGAIN?... I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THAT ISSUE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AS WELL. JUST RECENTLY WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS BEE TAIL LIGHT OR BRAKE LIGHT HAS STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. SPECIFICALLY THE PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT SO FAR. I COULD SENSE THERE WAS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL ISSUE COMING ON BUT WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED ALL OF THIS, BACK TO BACK AT THE SAME TIME.
OIL IN THE CAR CANNOT REACH PARTS OF THE ENGINE, AND IS BEING CONSUMED ABNORMALLY QUICKLY. IT HAS CAUSE MY ENGINE TO TEMPORARLY SIEZE, AND RELEASE, AND NOW WILL NOT EVEN START.
ONGOING PROBLEM WITH DOORS NOT OPENING FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE OR OUTSIDE. ALREADY REPAIRED ONE AT DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY, OTHER 2 DOORS REPAIRED AND NEEDING REPAIR AGAIN. FRONT DRIVERS DOOR AND REAR DRIVER DOOR CURRENTLY EFFECTED. EXTREMELY UNSAFE IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND TWO WORKING DOORS ARE DAMAGED AND UNOPERATIONAL. HYUNDAI SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM BUT COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ARE HUGE IN NUMBERS.
ALL DOORS LOCKED AND WON'T OPEN WITH KEY/FOB. IF A CHILD IS LOCKED IN THERE AND I CAN'T GET INSIDE THIS ISSUE COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO FIX.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO WORLD CAR HYUNDAI NORTH (12908 INTERSTATE 35 NORTH BLDG 2, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78233, (210) 667-2189) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REBOOTED 3 TIMES FOR AN UNKNOWN SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *JS
DOOR ACTUATORS FAIL AND DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND HYUNDAI HAS NOT ADDRESSED THE ISSUE WITH AN UPDATED DESIGN OR RECALL ON OLDER FAILING DOOR ACTUATORS. NOTE, WHEN I SAY OLD, THESE ARE 5-6 YEARS OLD. AS A FIRST RESPONDER, I AM APPALLED THAT THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AND RESOLVED ALREADY. IF I AM TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO A PERSON INVOLVED IN A WRECK AND I HAVE TO REQUEST OR PERFORM ADVANCED EXTRICATION SIMPLY BECAUSE OF POORLY DESIGNED ACTUATORS THEN THE FAMILIES OF THOSE ENTRAPPED VICTIMS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SUE HYUNDAI FOR DAMAGES.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF MY VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN. I CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. IT SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE DOOR NOT UNLOCKING EVEN THOUGH THE UNLOCK TAB IS FLIPPING. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,255.
MY CHILD OR ANYONE IN THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CAN NOT GET OUT OF THEIR DOOR BECAUSE THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL EVEN WHEN UNLOCKED THIS HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR 4 DAYS NO MATTER WHAT I TRY THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS NOT A MALFUCTION THIS IS ACUTALLY A SAFELY HAZZARD. MY CHILD IS TRAUMATIZED AND HAS NIGHTMARES BECAUSE HE FEARS HE WILL DIE IF THERE IS A FIRE IN THE CAR HE IS AUTISTIC.

THE LOCK ACTUATORS IN THE DRIVER DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAVE FAILED. THEY VEHICLE WILL UNLOCK BUT THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE ONE COULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR DUE TO THE FAULTY LATCHES. HYUNDAI WILL NOT REPAIR THIS AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUES REPORTED ON SEVERAL AUTO FORUMS AS WELL.

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION RESULTED IN ENGINE FAILURE WITH OUT WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING, BATTERY, OIL AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS APPEARED. THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THE CAR THEN WOULD NOT RESTART, BUT HAD POWER AND BATTERY LIFE LEFT DUE TO THE BATTERY BEING 1 YR OLD. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO A MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC CITED ENGINE FAILURE AND SAID IT WAS DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION. THE OIL HAD LARGE AMOUNT OF METAL IN IT DESPITE IT HAVING 128K MILES ON IT.
BOUGHT CAR AT 690000 MILES , HAD OIL CHANGED AT DEALER NEVER USED A DROP. AFTER OIL CHANGE STARTED USING OIL, A QUART ABOUT EVERY 250 MILES, STARTED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST TODAY AT 75667 MILES.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR ON DRIVERS SIDE DOES NOT UNLOCK. STARTED AS RANDOM LAST SUMMER BUT NOW DOES IT ALL THE TIME. 4 MONTHS PAST WARRANTY DATE. 52,000 MILES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED NO WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER TEAM HYUNDAI OF BEND (2250 NE. HWY 20, BEND, OR 97701, 541) 749-4025) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE HANDLE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.
IN 2019, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. WE HAD IT REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. NOW, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DOING THE SAME. WE CAN UNDERSTAND ONE BAD PART, BUT FOUND IT TOO COINCIDENTAL THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE. NEITHER WAS DUE TO OPERATOR CAUSED DAMAGE OR MISUSE. WE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHERS SUFFERING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THIS VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY SINGLE PASSENGER USE WITH OCCASIONAL USE OF THE OTHER DOORS TO PUT GROCERIES IN/OUT. HAD IT BEEN FAILURE FROM OVERUSE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DRIVER DOOR.
THIS HAPPENED LAST MONTH AS WELL. DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHILE IT IS PARKED AND ON, IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS BUT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WHILE IT'S UNLOCKED. LAST TIME IT FIXED AFTER PULLING ON IT APPROXIMATELY 25 TIMES TOTAL. I HAVE TRIED MANUALLY AND AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND TRYING TO OPEN BUT NOTHING WORKS. THIS TIME IS IS NOT WORKING AND BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN.
REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL. LOCKING MECHANISM MUST BE BROKEN OR JAMMED. DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. NO EVENT OCCURRED THAT CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
RECEIVED A RECALL (CAMPAING 195) NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI FOR TUSCON MODELS 2016-2021 FOR ABS. THE NOTICE WAS FOR A 2016 TUSCON WHICH WAS TRADED FOR A 2021 TUSCON BUT NO MENTION OF A RECALL FOR THE 2021 ???
BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS DO NOT CONSISTENTLY OPEN WHEN FIRST UNLOCKED. THIS HAPPENS IN A STATIONARY POSITION RIGHT AFTER UNLOCKING DOORS. ONCE OPEN, THEY ARE FINE UNTIL THE CAR IS LOCKED AGAIN. THEY WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER EXTERIOR HANDLE OR INTERIOR HANDLE. THIS HAPPENED A WHILE AGO, BUT RECENTLY TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND FOUND OUT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. WHEN I LOOKED UP HOW TO REPAIR IT, I WAS SHOCKED BY HOW WIDESPREAD THE ISSUE IS.
UNABLE TO OPEN THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR BECAUSE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILS. WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE (MANUALLY OR WITH KEY FOB) OR OUTSIDE THUS TRAPPING THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A CONCERNING SAFETY HAZARD. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AND FRONT DRIVER DOOR ON MY VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. KEY FOB HAS NEW BATTERIES AND CAN HEAR THE LOCKS ENGAGING/ DISENGAGING, HOWEVER THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. HUGE SAFETY ISSUE , THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. UPON READING ONLINE, NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE , HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING. MUST BE A RECALL NOW , COST TO REPAIR IS OVER $2,000. THIS PROBLEM CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH.
THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE NOR FROM THE OUTSIDE WHICH I FEEL CAUSES A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY THAT REQUIRES IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO SOMEONE IN THE REAR SEAT.
THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHEN CAR IS UNLOCKED. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE EITHER. THE HANDLE HAS TO BE PULLED FORCEFULLY SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WILL OPEN.
THE CAR SEEMS TO BE ACTING AS IF THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL FAULT. ALL OF THE SAFETY SENSORS ON THE CAR ARE FLASHING AND THE POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. MY WIFE AND I CURRENTLY ARE STATIONED OVERSEAS IN ITALY AND THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAID TO TAKE IT TO HYUANDAI FOR REPAIR. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HERE REFUSES TO TOUCH IT OR EVEN REPLY TO US. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE, EVEN THOUGH THE HANDLE WAS NOT STUCK. SPRINGFIELD HYUNDAI IN SPRINGFIELD, PA INSPECTED AND CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM, BUT DID NOT FIX BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. ANOTHER SHOP REPLACED THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR.
DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I SEE FROM READING ONLINR THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE. THIS HAS TO BE A BIG SAFTY ISSUE. I HAVE A BACJ DOOR THAT WILL.NOT OPEN AT ALL.AND NOW MY FRONT DOOR CAN NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE.
REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR NO LONGER WORKS. UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR AT ALL. CAR WAS PARKED.
MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TO OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE. MY BACK RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WAS NOT ABLE TO OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND I HAD TO HAVE IT REPLACED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. NHTSA SHOULD REALLY LOOK INTO THIS AND ISSUE A RECALL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE REAR DOOR FAILED TO OPERATE AS NEEDED. THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED HER THAT THE DEFECT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS WERE FAULTY AND FAILED TO OPEN. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL FOX ANN ARBOR HYUNDAI (3975 JACKSON RD, ANN ARBOR, MI 48103, (734) 663-7770) AND THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 106,000.*DT*JB
REAR DRIVER DOOR STOPPED OPENING FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE EVEN THOUGH THE HANDLE MOVES FREELY AND THE LOCKS ARE FUNCTIONING (CHILD SAFETY IS NOT ENGAGED). A FEW MONTHS AFTER THAT DOOR STOPPED WORKING THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OUTSIDE HANDLE FAILS TO OPEN 9 TIMES OUT OF 10 BUT LOCKS STILL FUNCTION. EVERYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE DOORS WORK FINE AND THERE HAS BEEN NO TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE.
CHILD SAFETY LOCK SWITCH NOT OPERATIONAL ON PASSENGER REAR SEAT. CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. CANNOT OPEN DOOD TO CHANGE SWITCH POSITION
THE VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND I WAS TOLD THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. IT CLICKS WHEN EVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. I WAS TOLD IT IS FINE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I GET IT REPAIRED BUT AFTER READING WHAT COULD HAPPEN THAT DOESN'T SEEM TRUE. I HAVE HAD THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR LATCH REPLACED BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. NOW TO OPEN MY FROM PASSENGER DOOR YOU HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR HANDLE 3 TIMES TO GET IT TO OPEN. MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WILL GO UP AND DOWN WHEN TRYING TO PUT JUST UP OR DOWN.*DT*JB
ORIGINALLY WHEN I PURCHASED MY CAR I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT MY RADIO GOING BLACK AND THEY CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO THE COLD AND BRUSHED IT OFF. NOW RECENTLY I HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT NOW AS I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH KEEP FLICKERING ON AND OFF TELLING ME TO CHECK EVERY SYSTEM. MY CAR SIGNALS/HAZARDS WILL NOT WORK. SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK ALONG WITH BLIND SPOT RECOGNITION AND OTHER THINGS.
MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAILING. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN MY DOOR FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AFTER THE DOOR HAS BEEN LOCKED. ONCE YOU HIT THE UNLOCK BUTTON, THERE IS A TINY PART IN THE LOCK ACTUATOR THAT IS NOT FULLY RETURNING TO THE LEFT WHICH LEAVES THAT SPECIFIC DOOR STILL LOCKED. IT TAKES SEVERAL PULLS/PUSHES ON THE DOOR TO GET IT OPEN AGAIN AND SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE DAYS BEFORE I CAN GET IT TO OPEN AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO TAKE THE DOOR PANEL OFF TO SEE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE ACTUATOR AND WAS ABLE TO SEE THE PART WAS FAILING WHEN HE WOULD TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR WITH THE KEY FOIB/UNLOCK BUTTON. BASED ON MY RESEARCH THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI TUCSONS BUT HYUNDAI HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL AND WILL CHARGE A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $100 PLUS COST OF LABOR AND PART TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY PASSENGERS AND SHOULD BE AN ISSUE HYUNDAI MAKES RIGHT. THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING REGARDLESS IF MY VEHICLE IS RUNNING OR NOT.
THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM IS FAULTY. I AM UNABLE TO OPEN A PASSENGER DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE, REGARDLESS OF CHILD LOCK POSITION. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN, A 2 YEAR OLD AND A 7 MONTH OLD. THE FAULTY PART IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE AMONG TUSCON'S AND IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR A VEHICULAR FIRE, I WOULD BE UNABLE TO ACCESS MY CHILD BECAUSE THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN.
THE REAR DRIVER DOOR IS STUCK CLOSED NO MATTER WHAT I DO. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SEEMS LIKE MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DOOR ACTUATOR GOING OUT. NOW IF PEOPLE ARE IN MY BACK SEAT, PEOPLE ARE STUCK AND HAVE TO GO OUT THE OTHER DOOR. MY FEAR NOW IS THE OTHER DOOR WILL GO OUT ALSO AND SOMEONE WILL BE STUCK IN THE BACK OF MY CAR.
MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN HEAR THE POWER LOCK WORKING, BUT THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. THE PROBLEM STARTED OUT GRADUALLY WHERE THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN UNLESS YOU PULLED THE HANDLE MORE THAN ONCE AND NOW IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR PEOPLE IN THE BACK SEAT BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET OUT IN AN EMERGENCY THROUGH THAT DOOR.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS LOCKED FROM THE INSIDE AND OUT. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. ALL THE LOCKS ON THE DOOR NEED TO BE UPGRADED AND REPAIRED NOT JUST REPLACED BY THE SAME FAULTY LOCKS.
WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING AREA, OR STARTING UP FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS OF THE VEHICLE , IT HESITATES . IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT’S GOING TO CUT OUT AND THEN IT CATCHES AND LOUNGES FORWARD. I NOTICED IT FROM THE TIME I PURCHASED IT.
REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS HAPPENED JANUARY 2021. I WAS WAITING FOR THE ENTIRE FIRE RECALL TO COME UP WITH A FIX SO I COULD TAKE IT IN AT THE SAME TIME. NOW, THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, ONLY THE INSIDE. HYUNDAI IS SAYING IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WILL NEED TO PAY FOR BOTH. QUICK RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS ME THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. THIS SHOULD BE EVALUATED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF MY CAR CATCHES FIRE BEFORE THERE CAN BE A FIX FOR THE RECALL AND MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IF IT IS ON FIRE.
AFTER PICKING MY GRANDSON UP FROM SURGERY ON BOTH LEGS WENT TO GET HIM OUT OF THE CAR AND NEITHER OF THE DOORS IN THE REAR WOULD OPEN THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED THEY SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION SPECIALLY IN A PLACE LIKE FLORIDA WHERE WE HAVE BODIES OF WATER ALL OVER NEXT TO THE ROADS IN AN EMERGENCYYOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT
THE RECALL INFORMATION SAID THAT FOR MY MODEL YEAR OF VEHICLE THE SERVICE PROCEDURE HASN'T BEEN DEVELOPED YET. THE RECALL WAS IN EARLY SEPT.; IT'S NOW ALMOST THE END OF FEBRUARY. WHAT IS A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME? YOU SAID IF THEY DON'T RESOLVE IT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO FILE A COMPLAINT.
MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOESN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. NOT MATTER WHAT I DO. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND THIS IS EXTREMELY COMMON. WHY IS THIS NOT ON RECALL. I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN I TRY TO OPEN. THE FRONT DRIVER DOOR. I HAVE TO PUMP THE HANDLE A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT RELEASES. I CALLED ABOUT THE WARRANTY AND TO GET IT FIXED BUT WAS 8 DAYS LATE BUT UNDER MILEAGE. THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V543000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.
THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNLOCKED. IT BEGAN AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM BUT HAS NOW FAILED ENTIRELY.
MY DOOR LATCHES ARE ACTING UP MY DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT NEED TO BE PULLED MULTIPLE TIMES FROM THE OUTSIDE TO OPEN AND MY PASSENGER SIDE REAR COMPLETELY FAILED IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE RESULTING IN A COSTLY REPAIR BUT SINCE IT'S WERE MY DAUGHTER SITS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME NOT BEING ABLE TO GET HER OUT OF THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GOOD.
THIS MODEL HAS A RECALL FOR ITS ABS SYSTEM DUE YO ENGINE FIRES THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEAKER AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NO RESOLVE FOR THIS ISSUE YET HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL AND THE ONLY WAY WE FOYND OUT WAS TO GO ONLINE AND LOOK IT UP NOW THEY SAY THEY WANT US TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH THE RECALL ISSUE UNTIL HYUNDAI FIGURES OUT YHE ISSUE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE OUR SAFETY IS FAR MORE IMPORT WE ARE BOTH DISABLED AND NEED A RELIABLE VEHICLE TO GET TO DR. APPOINTMENTS PLEASE HELP TO RESOLVE SAID ISSUE THANK YOU THE BATTLES
REAR DOORS ARE STUCK IN CLOSED POSITION. THE DOOR LOCKS OPERATE, I CAN HEAR IT CLICK AND I CAN SEE IT MOVE BUT THE DOORS DO NOT RELEASE. WITH TWO SMALL CHILDREN STUCK IN THE REAR OF THE CAR, THIS IS A DANGER. FURTHER RESEARCH ONLINE INDICATES PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS WITH ALL 4 DOORS, SO WE ARE DRIVING IN FEAR UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS DANGEROUS.
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IN MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FAILED REPEATEDLY. THE FIRST WAS ON NOVEMBER 3, 2020, ONE WEEK OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED TODAY (FEB 5, 2021). THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE AS THE DOORS CANNOT BE OPENED FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUT BECAUSE THEY FAIL IN THE "LOCKED" POSITION. IF THERE WERE A FIRE OR OTHER ACCIDENT, THE OCCUPANTS WOULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE, RESULTING IN A FATALITY. THE LATCH MECHANISM WON'T UNLOCK FROM EITHER THE PHYSICAL MECHANICAL TOGGLE OR REMOTE SIGNAL. THIS OCCURS THEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN DISCUSSED ON NUMEROUS ONLINE HYUNDAI FORUMS. WE ARE ALL WONDERING WHY 1) HYUNDAI HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL 2) WHY THE NHTSA HAS NOT STEPPED IN AND REQUIRED HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL. NOT BEING ABLE TO EXIT OR ENTER A CAR DURING AN EMERGENCY IS A HUGE RISK TO ALL, ESPECIALLY CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY, AND HANDICAPPED PERSONS. I CAN'T THINK OF A GREATER SAFETY ISSUE THAN BEING TRAPPED IN YOUR VEHICLE. PLEASE INTERVENE! THANK YOU.

THE DOORS ON THIS CAR KEEP FAILING TO OPEN. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER FRONT DOOR. THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. THEN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR LOCKING MECHANISM ON THE DRIVER REAR DOOR. NOW I NEED TO REPLACE THE MECHANISM ON THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF WE ARE UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY.
LOCKING MECHANISM IS NOT RELEASING ON 3/4 DOORS (CURRENTLY DRIVERS FRONT AND BOTH REAR PASSENGER DOORS) AND DOORS WON'T OPEN WHEN UNLOCKED. TAKES SEVERAL PULLS ON THE DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN - ANYWHERE FROM 10-50 PULLS, SOMETIMES IT NEVER OPENS, OTHER TIMES IT WILL OPEN. ONCE OPENED IT WILL OPEN NORMALLY AS LONG AS THE DOOR IS NOT LOCKED AGAIN. IF THE DOOR IS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED IT WILL NOT OPEN AGAIN.
WE WERE NEVER INFORMED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS CAR WHEN WE PURCHASED IT FROM THE HYUNDAI DEALER. WE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND HAVE GONE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AND THEY NEVER MENTIONED THE RECALL INVOLVING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN OUR TUCSON. WE HAD THE LATEST ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH OUR DOOR NOT CLOSING. WE HAVE HAD CONTINUED ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND MISSION HILLS HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS NOT MENTIONED THE RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUE TO FAIL TO REPAIR OUR CAR'S RECALL ISSUE.*DT*JB
BLINKER STAYS ON EVEN AFTER IT IS SHUT OFF, BRAKE LIKE CONTINUOUSLY GOES OUT, EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES (MAY BE A WIRING ISSUE).
LEFT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR GARAGE. IT WILL NOT OPEN WHEN TUCSON IS RUNNING OR IGNITION IS OFF. RIGHT REAR DOOR HAS ALSO HAD THIS PROBLEM PERIODICALLY. THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OUT OF BACKSEAT. I HAVE GONE TO MULTIPLE WEBSITES AND THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM TUCSON OWNERS. I HAVE EVEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO HUFFINES HYUNDAI PLANO (909 COIT RD, PLANO, TX 75075) WHERE THE DEALER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE FAILURE AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.
ON REGULAR OIL CHANGE THE MECHANIC - TECHNICIAN SHOP COMMENTED TO ME ON 11/15/2020 THAT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016 4FWD WAS 2 BOTTLE OF OIL LOW. THE MECHANICS INSPECTED FOR ANY LEAKS. THEY TOLD ME THAT COME BACK TWO WEEKS FOR FREE REFILLED THE OIL AGAIN. ON DECEMBER 20, 2020 AND JANUARY 20,2021. ON THE NEXT OIL REPLACEMENT, THE SAME SHOP INDICATED THAT THE ENGINE FOR SURE OF MY HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016 4DFWD WAS BURNING OIL, FOR CONCERN THAT THEY THINK IN POTENTIAL FUTURE I WILL NEED TO REMPLACE GASKET OR HEAD GASKET BECAUSE THE QUANTITY OF OIL IS CURRENTLY BURNT. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE VEHICLE IS BEEN MAINTAINED WELL AND INSPECTED EVERY MILES ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI RECOMMENDATION. PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AND HELP ME OUT FOR THIS SOLUTION AND POTENTIAL HUNDREDS PEOPLE OUT THERE DUE TO IS NOT ANY RECALL BAN FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE YET.
TRAVELLED ABOUT ABOUT 150 MILES.OUT OF THE BLUECAR BEGAN LOSING ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING , WHILE GOING UPHILL ON A MOUNTAIN PASS. AS PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF HIGHWAY ENOUGH TO BE OUT OF LANE OF TRAFFIC, NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE GAVE NO WARNING- NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. CAR HAD BEEN MAINTAINED. MECHENIC REPORTS ENGINE IS INOPERABLE. SIMILAR TO ALL REPORTS OF ENGINE FAILURE IN 2011 TO 2018 THETA ENGINE.
I WAS DRIVING APPROX 65-70MPH ON THE FREEWAY JUST AFTER 7PM AT NIGHT. IT WAS DARK, BUT NO RAIN. TUCSON STOPPED OUT OF NOWHERE. IT WAS LIKE I HIT AN INVISIBLE BRICK WALL AND THEN STARTED TO PUSH THROUGH IT. I THOUGHT MAYBE I'D HIT SOME UNSEEN ROAD DEBRIS. I PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I DID NOT GET OUT (IT WAS DARK AND TOO MANY CARS WERE WHIZZING BY.) NONE SEEMED TO BE SWERVING OR PULLING OVER FROM HITTING ROAD DEBRIS. MY SEATBELT LOCKED AND THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE. MY AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT MY SEATBELT DID LOCK UP. MY EARS WERE RINGING AND MY CHEST WAS SORE FROM THE SEATBELT. THERE WERE NO SENSOR WARNINGS ON MY CONSOLE, SO I PUT ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND DROVE OFF AT THE NEXT EXIT. WHEN I INSPECTED MY CAR, THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO BE FOUND. I CALLED POLICE NON EMERGENCY AND THEY PUT ME THROUGH TO HIGHWAY PATROL SO THAT I COULD NOTIFY THEM ABOUT DEBRIS (EVEN THOUGH I HADN'T SEEN IT.) THE NEXT MORNING MY NECK HURT AND I HAD A SLIGHT HEADACHE (THIS HAS CONTINUED FOR 5 OR 6 DAYS NOW). MY FACE MASK FLEW INTO THE FOOT AREA. WHEN I CALLED THE POLICE NON EMERGENCY NUMBER BACK A COUPLE DAYS LATER, THEY FORWARDED ME TO THE HIGHWAY PATROL AND THEY LOOKED UP THE CALL/REPORT. THE OFFICERS HAD NOT FOUND/COME IN CONTACT WITH ANY DEBRIS IN THE AREA. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH THAT I COULDN'T SEE AND TO PULL THE ELECTRONIC RECORDS. THEY FOUND NOTHING. I FEEL LIKE THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM DEPLOYED FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S DONE IT. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WAS TURNING RIGHT AND WAS WELL INTO THE TURN, NOWHERE IN FRONT OF ME AND THE TUCSON BRAKED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. I KEPT ON THE GAS AND IT PICKED UP SPEED AGAIN. THANKFULLY BOTH TIMES NO ONE WAS IMMEDIATELY BEHIND ME. I DO NOT RECALL THE DATE OF THIS, BUT I CAN SUBMIT A SECOND REPORT IF NEEDED.
SOMETIMES CAR DOES NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE COMPLETELY AFTER MAKING A COMPLETE STOP. IT MAKES OVER 5 SECONDS SOMETIMES TO START ACCELERATING. WHICH IS QUITE SCARY WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS, THE CAR WILL SLIGHTLY MOVE (MAYBE 5MPH) THEN GET STUCK IN THAT GEAR FOR A LACK OF BETTER WORDS. MAKING YOU STUCK IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC SOMETIMES.
TL* THE CONTACT'S MOTHER OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS MOTHER WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR, IT FAILED TO OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.
MY DOORS HAVE STOPPED OPENING FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED WITH MY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR (LAST YEAR- HAS NOT OPENED SINCE) AND NOW HAS HAPPENED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR (STARTED LAST SUMMER 2020). CHILD LOCK IS NOT ON, NO OBSTRUCTION, HAVE TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SEVERAL TIMES. THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IN PARK. AT FIRST IF I USE A LITTLE FORCE AND PUSH THE DOOR IT SOMETIMES WILL LET IT OPEN, BUT EVENTUALLY THIS STOPS WORKING AND THE DOOR IS TOTALLY SEALED SHUT. FROM WHAT I HAVE SEEN THIS APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE FOR MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS AND THERE IS NO REAL FIX. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE- IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT OR MY PASSENGERS NEED TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE QUICKLY, THEY ARE QUITE LITERALLY TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. I'M WORRIED IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THIS OCCURS WITH MY DRIVER DOOR AS WELL. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND IS ABSOLUTELY NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR.
OUR VEHICLE HAS STARTED USING A LOT OF OIL AROUND 80,000. WE NOW NEED TO ADD A QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW SWITCH WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT WORK. WE HAD THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK REPLACED BECAUSE IF STOPPED WORKING.
IN SEPTEMBER 2020 WE WERE ADVISED BY HYUNDAI NOT TO PARK OUR VEHICLE IN OUR GARAGE OR NEAR A BUILDING DUE TOO A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS NOW MID-JANUARY AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT COME UP WITH A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SEE HTTPS://AUTOSERVICE.HYUNDAIUSA.COM/CAMPAIGNHOME/CAMPAIGN/INDEX AND ATTACHED.
THE INCIDENT OCCURRED TO ME WHILE I WAS 7 HOURS FROM HOME. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A CURVE IN THE ROAD. WHEN CLEAR, I ACCELERATED AND AS I TURNED AND MERGED INTO THE ROAD, THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE AND LOST POWER AS I WAS GOING UP HILL. RIGHT BEFORE I LOST ALL POWER, THE OIL LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND AGAIN HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE BUT WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AS SOON AS I SLOWED AND STOPPED IT DIED AGAIN. I ENDED UP GETTING TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED AND THEY LET ME KNOW I HAD "THROWN A ROD AND HAD BEARING DAMAGE". THEY SAID I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND QUOTED ME $12,800. I HAVE PROVIDED ALL SERVICE RECORDS TO THEM WHICH PROVE THAT I HAVE MAINTAINED THE VEHICLE WITH OIL CHANGES AND MAJOR SERVICES DONE AT HYUNDAI AS WELL AS VALVOLINE. THEIR INITIAL OFFER TO ME WAS THEY WOULD COVER 50% OF THE REPAIR. MY SERVICE ADVISOR COUNTERED THEM WITH 90% AND THEIR FINAL OFFER WAS TO COVER 60% AND NO RENTAL - EVEN BEING 7 HOURS FROM HOME. BEFORE THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OPEN MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR IN MONTHS DUE TO NEEDING A NEW ACTUATOR. I ALSO LET THEM KNOW THAT I BELIEVED THERE WAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES BECAUSE MY TAIL LIGHT WAS ALWAYS GOING OUT EVEN AFTER BEING REPLACED. I WAS DISMISSED AND TOLD THAT I HAD A FAULTY BULB. SAME DAY AFTER GETTING REPLACED, I WAS AGAIN GETTING THAT "CHECK BRAKE LIGHT" MESSAGE. I BELIEVE THERE IS A RECALL THAT I DO NOT QUALIFY FOR FOR THIS ISSUE. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND ENGINE FAILURE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI WITH MANY PEOPLE ON THEIR 2ND AND 3RD ENGINES, INCLUDING 2 PEOPLE IN MY OWN FAMILY. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY HYUNDAI IS HANDLING THIS SITUATION AND I WILL NO LONGER BE A HYUNDAI CUSTOMER. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. THANK YOU!
THE REAR BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE, CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE CHILDREN/PEOPLE SITTING IN THE BACK SEAT. HYUNDAI REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS IISSUE AND WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $1,000 WITH LABOR TO FIX IT. I PURCHASED THE CAR CERTIFIED PREOWNED IN 2018.
IN MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS VIA KEYLESS ENTRY, INDOOR LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON AND KEY FOB UNLOCK/LOCK BUTTON, HOWEVER THE DOOR DOES NOT PHYSICALLY OPEN. IT SPONTANEOUS OCCURRED WHEN TRYING TO GET INTO MY CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFELY CONCERN IF SOMEONE NEEDED TO LEAVE MY CAR IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. UPON RESEARCH THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF 2016 MODELS, SOME HAVING ISSUES WITH MULTIPLE DOORS. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCK ACTUATOR THAT WAS INSTALLED IS MOST OF THE 2016-2017 TUSCONS. HYUNDAI IS NOT WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THAT IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON ALL OF THESE MODELS.
THE DOOR LATCHES FOR THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND ALL 3 PASSENGER DOORS HAVE FAILED. IN THE CASE OF THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS (BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE) THIS HAS MADE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THEM FROM EIRHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. IN THE CASE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, THE ABILITY TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HAS BECOME INCONSISTENT AND IRREGULAR; OFTEN, THE DOOR HANDLE MUST BE PULLED MULRIPLE TIMES FOR RHE DOOR TO OPEN. FINALLY, IN THE CASE OF THE DRIVER'S DOOR, THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE ONCE THE DOOR HAS BEEN LOCKED AND SUBSEQUENTLY UNLOCKED, MEANING THAT IF I LOCK MY CAR, THE ONLY WAY TO ENTER IT IS THROUGH THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, ITSELF AN UNRELIABLE METHOD. CURRENTLY, I CANNOT EXIT FROM THE REAR SEATS AT ALL, NOR CAN I RELY ON THE FRONT DOORS TO CONTINUE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE BASED ON THE CURRENT BEHAVIOR. ALL 4 OF THE DOOE LATCHES BEGAN EXIBITING THESE FAILURES WITHIN A FEW WEEKS OF EACH OTHER
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2016 TUCSON FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER TWO YEARS THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY. I HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLES 4-5 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WILL OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS GIVEN AN ASTRONOMICAL PRICE TO FIX IT. I AM THE ONLY PERSON WHO DRIVES MY CAR. THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON WHY THESE HANDLES ARE MALFUNCTIONING LIKE THIS. THEN LAST MONTH THE BACK DOOR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. THIS IS RIDICULOUS! THIS IS DANGEROUS. IF I HAD SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT AND AN EMERGENCY HAPPENS THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. I CAN'T BE THE ONLY CUSTOMER HAVING THIS ISSUE. IS THERE SOMETHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THIS? THIS CAR WAS PAID IN FULL. I'VE ALREADY PAID ENOUGH FOR THIS CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR MALFUNCTIONING DANGEROUS DOOR HANDLES. WHAT CAN I DO?
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, MY SEAT CAME FORWARD BRINGING ME TO THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW WHEN I DRIVE I AM ALWAYS ADJUSTING MY SEAT BECAUSE IT STILL MOVE FORWARD ON ITS OWN.
I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE USED, FROM A CAR DEALERSHIP; THEREFORE, IT HAD BEEN SERVICED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF PURCHASE THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR QUIT OPERATING. THE CAR WAS PARKED WITHOUT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHEN THE DOOR REFUSED TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I CHECKED MY WARRANTY. IT WAS STILL IN EFFECT BUT I WAS OVER THE MILEAGE REQUIREMENT SO THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR. (I COMMUTE TO WORK) SIX MONTHS LATER, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR CEASED TO OPERATE. I TRANSPORTED A DISABLED INDIVIDUAL TO THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE. THE DOOR WORKED WHEN I LEFT FOR THE DOCTOR'S AS I PLACED A WALKER IN THE BACK. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING AT THE TIME. WHEN I RETURNED FROM THE DOCTOR, I PARKED, SWITCHED THE ENGINE OFF, AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THE DISABLED INDIVIDUAL WITH ME COULD NOT WALK WITHOUT THE ASSISTANCE OF THE WALKER. I COULD NOT GET THE WALKER OUT. I HAD TO GO BORROW A WALKER, BRING TO THE INDIVIDUAL TO BE ABLE TO REMOVE HIM FROM THE CAR. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. CURRENTLY, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR IS BEGINNING TO BE DIFFICULT TO OPEN. IT SOMETIMES TAKES THREE ATTEMPTS TO OPEN THE DOOR. I AM AFRAID IT WILL STOP WORKING AS WELL. AT THIS POINT I AM DRIVING AN SUV THAT CAN ONLY SAFELY TRANSPORT TWO INDIVIDUALS AND I AM AFRAID THAT IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE ONLY ONE PERSON CAN RIDE IN IT. MY TRUE FEAR IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE DRIVER DOOR STOPS WORKING? I HAVE RESEARCHED FOR A RECALL AND THEIR ISN'T ONE DESPITE THE FACT THEIR ARE NUMEROUS ONLINE COMPLAINTS. I HAVE NOT REPAIRED THE ISSUE AS I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY IT WOULD TAKE AND FROM THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN AGAIN. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS TRAPPED IN A CAR AND HURT.
THE PASANGER SIDE DOOR AND REAR LEFT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THE CAR IS STATIONARY. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR ONLY 6 MONTHS BOUGHT USED 42,305 MILES ON IT.
ONCE LOCKED AND THEN UNLOCKED, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR IS UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THIS IS DUE TO FAILING DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. THIS PREVENTS PASSENGERS FROM EXITING THE CAR AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. THE SAME DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS ON ALL DOORS AND IS A KNOWN ISSUES WITH HYUNDAI.
WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AND LIGHTS ON THE DASH SHOW UP CAR STARTS SMOKING AND LOSES POWER I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR AFTER THAT AND HAD TO WAIT ON THE SIDE OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY FOR 3 HOURS WAITING ON A TOW TRUCK.. FAST FORWARD TO THE MECHANIC AND THEY DISCOVERED THAT MY ENGINE FELL APART INTERNALLY WITH NO ROOT CAUSE...ENGINE ONLY HAD 73,000...THAT WAS ON THE FRIDAY AFTER THANKSGIVING. FAST FORWARD TO NOW AND I STILL DON'T HAVE MY CAR WITH NO KNOWN TIME FRAME OF WHEN I'LL GET MY CAR BACK(IT'S NOW 1/12/2021). MY CAR HAS BEEN REGULARLY MAINTAINED WITH ALL RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. MY ENGINE WAS THE 2.0 4 CYLINDER AGAIN WITH ONLY 73,000 MILES
I CALLED HYUNDAI ON SOUTH BOULEVARD THIS MORNING AND SPOKE TO A TECH WHO TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL REMEMDY IS NOT AVAILABLE YET. THIS IS SCARY. HE DID MENTION THAT I CAN RENT A VENHICLE AND HYUNDAI WOULD REIMBURSE ME, BUT I LIVE ON SOCIAL SECURITY AND CANNOT AFFORD A RENTAL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE
WHILE A PASSENGER WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT FROM THE DRIVER SIDE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, THE LATCH WAS NON-OPERATIONAL AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO EXIT USING THE INTERNAL LATCH. CHILD SAFETY MECHANISM WAS NOT ENGAGED. THE EXTERIOR LATCH ALSO DIDN'T FUNCTION. THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION. THIS MADE EXITING FROM OR RETRIEVING A CHILD ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE DURING ANY EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER CHECKING OWNERS' FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON DANGEROUS FAILURE FOR THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.
WHEN THE UNIT IS IN DRIVE OR REVERSE IN ANY DRIVEWAY THE TRACKING LIGHTS TURNS ON UNEXPECTEDLY AND BLOCKS THE BRAKES AND IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE MOVED.
THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL, FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS HAPPENED OUTSIDE OF THE 60,000 MILE WARRANTY PERIOD, SO HYUNDAI REFUSED TO VOLUNTARILY FIX THE ISSUE. THE LATCHING MECHANISM SHOULD NOT BE WORN DOWN SO QUICKLY, WITHIN 4 YEARS OF MANUFACTURE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, AS POTENTIALLY ALL CAR DOORS COULD FAIL, LEAVING PASSENGERS STUCK INSIDE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. I HAVE EMAILED AND CALLED HYUNDAI USA AND NOTIFIED THEM OF THE ISSUE, BUT HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A REPLY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE INITIALLY TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED HER THAT THE ENGINE CEASED. THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO BOB ROHRMAN'S INDY HYUNDAI (7101 E WASHINGTON ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46219) AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH ENGINE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.
REAR PASSAGE SIDE DOOR WILL BOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR THE OUT. CALLED HYUNDAI NOTHING WAS DONE.
DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON 3 OF 4 DOORS HAS FAILED. THIS MEANS THAT THE DOOR CANNOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OUR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, I PARKED AND WHEN I RETURNED, I COULD NOT OPEN THE DOORS (IN ALL 3 INSTANCES). FRONT PASSENGER AND BOTH REAR DOORS. REAR DOORS FAILED WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER AND ALL THREE INSTANCES OF FAILURE HAVE OCCURRED WITHIN A YEAR (FRONT IN JANUARY, REAR IN OCTOBER). I CONTACTED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN IT OCCURRED WITH THE REAR DOORS, CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS (I.E. PEOPLE TRAPPED IN CARS IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY). THE HYUNDAI REPRESENTATIVE I TALKED WITH AGREED THAT IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY RISK/ISSUE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THEY COULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT WITHOUT THE DIRECTION OF THE NHTSA (SUCH AS A RECALL OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR).
THE VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND WHEN YOU'RE SITTING ON A HILL FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IN TRAFFIC TO TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND ALMOST STALLS THE CAR
BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO UTILIZE FOR 1 YEAR NOW. NO DAMAGE TO VEHICLE AND NO ISSUES PRIOR TO ONSET. UNABLE TO OPEN FORM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. DRIVER DOOR IS STARTING TO NOT OPEN INCONSISTENTLY NOW FOR THE PAST WEEK. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY FAMILY.
MILEAGE IS AT 63K AND MY FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE REAR PASSENGER WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE FRONT PASSENGER WILL TAKE 5 TRIES TO OPEN AND WILL OPEN.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK REGARDLESS OF HOW OR WHEN IT IS TRIED. THE DEALER SAYS THE DOOR ACTUATOR IS FAULTY. NO ONE CAN ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THAT SIDE, EVEN IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS PROBLEM APPEARS IN HUNDREDS OF POSTS ABOUT THIS MODEL OF HYUNDAI TUSCON. ONLY A DEALER CAN REPAIR AND REPLACE THE PROBLEM AT A COST OF $1600. NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS.
AT LOWER SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH. SOMETIMES GOES THROUGH 6 GEARS BEFORE REACHING 30 MPH. INCONSISTENT RESPONSE TO GAS PEDAL AT SLOWER SPEEDS. DIFFICULTY WHEN STARTING OUT FROM STOPPED POSITION, OR SLOWER SPEEDS. SHIFTING DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR AT CONSISTENT RPM. HAVE CHECK W/DEALER ARE TOLD THAT TRANSMISSION IS WORKING ACCORDING TO SPEC.
ESTAVA COM MINHA FAMILIA A CAMINHO DA FISIOTERAPIA QUANDO COMECOU A PEGAR FOGO NO CARRO NA PARTE DA FRENTE! A SORTE FOI QUE UMA OFICINA QUE ESTAVA PERTO ME MIM TINHA EXTINTOR E ME AJUDOU A APAGAR O FOGO!
THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WON'T UNLOCK TO OPEN. THIS IS CREATING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY CHILDREN.
WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARKING AREA, OR STARTING UP FROM A COMPLETE STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, WHEN I PRESS THE GAS OF THE VEHICLE , IT HESITATES . IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE IT'S GOING TO CUT OUT, OR BOGS DOWNS, AND THEN CATCHES. I MAKE SURE IF THERE IS AN ONCOMING VEHICLE COMING , I DON'T PULL OUT IN FEAR THIS WILL HAPPEN , AND I'LL GET HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME IT'S DRIVEN
THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THE LOCK DOES CLICK BACK AND FORTH BUT THE DOOR REMAINS STUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE TRAVELING IN THE BACKSEAT OF THE CAR AS THEY WOULD BE TRAPPED IN THE CAR AND UNABLE TO EXIT FROM THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
THE TRANSMISSION AT STARTING FROM A STOP HAS HESITATION AND SKIPS WHEN SLOWING DOWN. THE CAR HAS NO OPEN RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. IT HAS BEEN FIXED OR UPDATED FROM THE 2016 RECALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND TRULY FIXED.
VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING BULB IS NOT BLOWN LIGHT WILL COME ON WHEN LIGHT HOUSING IS OUT. DOORS STUCK WILL NOT OPEN WINDOW OFF TRACK
A REAR DOOR LOCK IS 'FROZEN" IN A LOCKED POSITION. IT REJECTS PHYSICAL AND ELECTRONIC ATTEMPTS TO OPEN. IT REMAINS WHEN ENGINE IS OFF OR ON. IT IS NOT LOCKED BY CHILD PROTECTION. IT CLEARLY IS A DANGER TO OCCUPANTS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT FIRE. A WEB SEARCH FOR HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016 (AND SOME SIMILAR) DOOR LOCKS SHOWS THIS IS NOT UNCOMMON. NEITHER THE DOOR NOR LOCK NOR HANDLE HAVE BEEN DAMAGED. THERE IS NO COMPANY RECALL OR OFFER FOR DEALERS TO REPAIR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOORS HOWEVER, THE DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR WAS INOPERABLE AND UNABLE TO UNLOCK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI OF LAS VEGAS (7150 W SAHARA AVE, LAS VEGAS, NV 89117) AND HAD THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOORS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED LATER TO HAVE THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR LOCK REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A COST FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.
THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING ON MY DAUGHTER'S 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN THE CAR DOOR COULD HAVE LED TO SO MANY HEALTH AND SAFETY ISSUES DEPENDING ON THE SITUATION. PLEASE IMAGINE IF THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED DURING A VEHICLE FIRE, A SUBMERGED SITUATION, A CAR CRASH, ETC. THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES OF YOUR CHILD DRIVER BEING TRAPPED IN THE CAR DURING A SITUATION LIKE I JUST MENTIONED. AS YOU CAN EXPECT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE DEFECT AND I'M SHOCKED THERE IS NO RECALL OR FREE REPAIR AVAILABLE FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I'VE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BASED ON THE EXCELLENT RATINGS OF QUALITY AND SAFETY. FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, EACH OF THE DOOR LATCHES COULD SUBSEQUENTLY FAIL AS WELL AS THE NEW LATCH RECENTLY INSTALLED. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I'M NEARLY 60 YEARS OLD AND HAVE OWNED OVER A DOZEN CARS IN MY LIFE. THIS IS THE VERY FIRST FAILED DOOR LATCH I'VE HAD AND HAVE EVER HEARD OF.
REAR DRIVER DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. YOU CAN HEAR THE REMAINING DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK BUT NOT THE REAR DRIVER. I TRANSPORT MY GRAND CHILDREN AND THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CARS HAS 16K MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER SAID IT WILL TAKE ABOUT 1 TO 2 WEEKS TO GET THE PART IN. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ALOT OF THE HYUNDAI TUCSONS.
REAR PASSENGER DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLES. THIS STARTED INTERMITTENTLY THEN ULTIMATELY TRAPPED PASSENGERS IN THE REAR SEATS OF THE VEHICLE. NOTHING WORKED TO RELEASE THE DOORS, CAUSING PASSENGERS TO HAVE CRAWL THROUGH FRONT SEATS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. INVESTIGATING OF ANY RECALLS WE FOUND THAT THIS IS WIDE SPREAD OVER SEVERAL YEARS, AND CHARGES RANGE FROM $400 TO $2K. WHEN CLEARLY THIS IS DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS OR DESIGN, USED IN AND FOR LOCKING SYSTEM, FAIR EXPECTATION THAT OCCUPANTS CAN EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE CASE OF AN EMERGENCY. HYUNDAI SERVICE CONSIDERS THIS A MALFUNCTIONING PART AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY OR BY AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOORS LOCKING ACTUATORS ARE MALFUNCTIONING THERE IS NO OPTION TO MANUALLY OPEN THE DOORS, AGAIN CAUSING A PERSON TO BE TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. PEOPLE ARE REPORTING FROM 1 DOOR TO ALL 4 DOORS FAILING TO OPEN. OUR CAR THE REAR DOORS DO NOT OPEN. HYUNDAI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS DEFECTIVE PART/DESIGN AND NOT AT THE CAR OWNERS EXPENSE.
I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS TO WHERE THEY ARE HARD TO OPEN. I UNLOCK THE DOORS AND I HAVE TO PULL THE DOOR LATCH SEVERAL TIMES SO THEY CAN OPEN.
I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE DOWN MY STREET WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. RIGHT BEFORE IT DIED, I HEARD A BRUSHING NOISE AND THEN ALL THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. THERE WERE NO OTHER WARNING NOISES OR LIGHTS PRIOR TO ENGINE FAILURE. I CHECKED THE OIL DIPSTICK AND THERE WAS NO OIL REGISTERING ON IT. THE SMEAR THAT WAS ON THE STICK WAS BLACK. THE CHECK ENGINE OR LOW OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON TO WARN ME OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO NO OIL ON MY DRIVEWAY WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SLOW LEAK. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY TOLD MY THE ENGINE WAS DEAD AND I NEEDED A NEW ONE. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE 10YR./100,000 MILE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SINCE I BOUGHT THIS (A YEAR AGO) FROM A FRIEND WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER. IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 89,000 MILES ON IT NOW. I'M THANKFUL I WAS IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED AND NOT ON THE INTERSTATE WHERE I HAD BEEN MOMENTS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. IT IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $7-9K FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. THEY HAVE OFFERED $2,800 FOR A TRADE-IN TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE AS AN OPTION.
THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. ALSO, IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE LOSS OF BRAKE AND STEERING CONTROLS. FINALLY, TRANSMISSION GEAR SWITCH WITHOUT INPUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS SITUATIONS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 12/26/19; NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED EITHER FROM DEALER OR MANUIFACTURER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR, THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN AUTOMATICALLY BY THE KEYFOB OR MANUALLY BY THE DOOR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT BOTH PASSENGER'S SIDE DOORS FAILED TO OPEN A YEAR LATER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO GET OUT THE VEHICLE WAS FROM THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO GO TO THE DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.
AFTER PARKING THE CAR, I WENT AROUND TO THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE TO GET ONE OF MY CHILDREN OUT OF THE CARSEAT WHEN THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. CHILD LOCKS WERE NOT ENGAGED BUT THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. AFTER USING THE KEYLESS ENTRY AND INSIDE DRIVER SIDE SWITCHES TO UNLOCK THE CAR NUMEROUS TIMES, THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN. THE OTHER 3 DOORS WERE UNLOCKING AND LOCKING JUST FINE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS MY 8 MONTH OLD WAS LOCATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT.
THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR HAS STOPPED OPENING. IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE DRIVER DOOR AND THE PASSENGER DOOR WILL ALSO NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE UNLESS THE HANDLE HAS BEEN PULLED MULTIPLE TIMES. EVIDENTLY THIS IS A PROBLEM HAPPENING TO LOTS OF 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DRIVERS. DOORS ARE THE MOST BASIC THING THAT SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO WORK. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THERE'S NO REASON FOR THEM TO STOP WORKING. THE CAR IS STATIONARY AND CAN BE ON OR OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS.
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHICH HAS A 120K ON IT AND I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE NEEDED A TUNE WHICH I GOT PERFORMED. BUT IT TURNS OUT THAT THE ENGINE HAS COMPRESSION FAILURE ON CYLINDERS 2 AND 3. THE OIL WAS CHANGED REGULARLY SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPEN. SINCE I WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING.
MY DOORS HAVE BEEN NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THEY SAY IT'S BECAUSE THE DOOR LATCH IS BAD. THIS IS A TOTAL SAFETY ISSUE, BECAUSE IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND MY ONLY WAY OUT WAS THE DOOR I WOULD BE LOCKED IN AND POTENTIALLY DIE. THE FACT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR PEOPLE FOR OVER A YEAR AND STILL NOT A RECALL AND FOR IT TO HAPPEN TO ME TWICE IS RIDICULOUS. MY DAD IS A FIRST RESPONDER AND SAYS THAT THIS ISN'T A RECALL IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND THE FACT THAT THE ONLY WAY IT WILL BE A RECALL IS FOR SOMEONE TO DIE IN THE ACCIDENT AND FOR THEM TO SUE HYUNDAI TO BE A RECALL IS RIDICULOUS. PLEASE CONSIDER THE DOOR LATCH ISSUE TO BE A RECALL YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE BY TYPING IN GOOGLE. MY DOOR WILL RANDOMLY JUST STOP OPENING ONE DAY ONCE YOU CLOSE AND YOU CANNOT OPEN IT FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON BOTH REAR DOORS.
ON OCTOBER 30 2020, DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AT 65 MPH, MY ENGINE WAS MAKING LOUD BANGING/KNOCKING NOISES. GOT IT TO MY MECHANIC WHO WAS NEARBY AND HE STATED MOTOR IS BAD. SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE TOPSIDE OF MOTOR. LOTS OF METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL, POSSIBLY LEADING TO TURBO DAMAGE TOO. I HAVE MY OIL CHANGED ABOUT 5 TIMES A YEAR. NO REASON FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AT 118000 MILES OF HIGHWAY DRIVING. HYUNDAI WON'T HONOR FIX DUE TO OUTSIDE OF 100000 MILE WARRANTY. SAW CNBC NEWS REPORT ON RECENT FINES ON HYUNDAI AND KIA. I NEED MY ENGINE REPLACED!
DRIVING CAR ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON AND CAR SEIZED. WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. HAD CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND THE NEXT DAY TO THE DEALER TO BE INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER MANUFACTURE WARRANTY WAITING ON WARRANTY TO APPROVE THE ENGINE.
I DO OIL CHANGE REGULARLY BUT, NOVEMBER OF 2020, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY TO WORK, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, SO I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC, HE DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS CYLINDER THAT FAILED, SO I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO MAKE APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE, BUT, AFTER CHECKING MY VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY. IT HAD 77,000 MILES ON IT AND I WAS TOLD THAT MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ONLY COVERS UP TO 60,000 MILES. I WONDER IF THAT'S TRUE.
THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS FAILING AND DOESN'T ALWAYS FUNCTION RESULTING IN THE DOOR BEING UN-OPENABLE. WHEN ACTUATED, THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTON ON THE KEY FOB SOUNDS AS IF THE LOCK IS OPENED, BUT WHEN I PULL ON THE HANDLE, THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS AT PULLING ON THE HANDLE, THE DOOR WILL OPEN. THIS IS IMPACTING MY LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.
THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL WHEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.
WHEN YOU PUT THE VECHICLE IN REVERSEL SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE THEN YOU HAVE TO PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND TRY IT AGAINAND IT WILL MOVE
SINCE DAY ONE I HAVE TROUBLE WHIT THE TRANSMISSION , THEY RESET IT LIKE 15 TIMES AND EVERY NOW AND THEN THE DUAL CLUTCH ACT CRAZY, TODAY THE REVERSE WONT ENGAGE AND DRIVES SUPER SLOW, I COMPLAIN EVERY SINGLE TIME TO THE DEALER BUT THEY JUST REFUSE TO DO FIX THE TRANSMISSION , , THEY SAID THAT THEY WILL RESET THE TRANSMISSION EVERY TIME THAT GOES WRONG , BUT WHAT IF PASS THE WARRANTY ? ITS NORMAL TO HAVE SUCH A BAD OR A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION /OR DUAL CLUTCH ISSUE?
MY VEHICLE DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT ON OCTOBER 31, 2020, I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE IT SERVICED. IT TOOK TWO WEEKS FOR HYUNDAI TO APPROVE THE ENGINE REPAIR. HYUNDAI AND THE DEALER DIDN'T SEE A NEED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE UNTIL NOVEMBER 14, 2929 AND THERE ARE LIMITED USES OF THE DEALER LOANER VEHICLE. I AM MAKING PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE THAT I DO NOT HAVE USE OF AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR HYUNDAI UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THIS SITUATION WHICH IS NO FAULT OF MINE. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT WILL TAKE A LONG TIME TO BUILD A NEW ENGINE FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEN INSTALL IT. THEY HAVE A BACKLOG OF ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURES CURRENTLY. WHY WAS THERE NOT A RECALL? I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRES AT 105,000 MILES.
MY TUSCON HAS QT THIS MOMENT 36,960 MILES I PURCHASED IT BACK IN JUNE/JULY MY REAR PASSENGER DOORS OPEN WHEN THEY FEEL LIKE IT AS OF RIGHT NOW I CAN'T GET ONE OF THEM TO OPEN AT ALL. AND THE GAS GUAGE HASN'T FUNCTIONED SINCE I GOT THE VEHICLE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE DOORS. THIS IS A REAL NUISANCE AS I HAVE A CHILD AND NEED TO BE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOORS TO GET TO HIM WITHOUT FAIL.
BRAKE LIGHT (LEFT SIDE) DOES NOT WORK.REAR DOOR DRIVETS SIDE WILL NOT OPEN.BOTH HAPPENED IN THE CITY
THE BACK DOOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT OPEN. THE LOCK IS WORKING, BUT THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE CHILD LOCKS ARE NOT ON. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE LOCK CLICKS AND THE DOOR SOUNDS AS IF IT IS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, BUT THE DOOR ITSELF DOESN'T ACTUALLY OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT WHEN THIS ISSUE WAS DISCOVERED. I'VE TRIED OPENING THE DOOR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON AND OFF.
WINDOWS GET STOCK UP OR DOW CAR IS PARK AND RUNNING THIS ISSUE HAPPING TREE TIME IN LESS OF ONE YEAR FIRST THE DRIVER SIDE THEM THE REAR PASSENGER AND NOW THE FRONT PASSENGER. STERLING WHEEL HAS A CLOCKING NOISE TOOK TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY FIX THE PROBLEM BUT STILL MAKING NOISE THIS IS WENT THE CAR IS IN MOTION SPECIAL WHEN MADE TURNS
THE MOTOR IN THE DOORS BLOW (ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION I RECEIVED FROM HYUNDAI A COUPLE YEARS AGO.) WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE PASSENGERS ARE LOCKED IN THE CAR WITHOUT ANY WAY OF BEING ABLE TO GET OUT. THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THESE PARTS WERE REPLACED WHILE THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AGAIN WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND NOW WILL NOT BE COVERED SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT TRAPS THE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR.
THE HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF AND ON ON THEIR OWN WHEN IT IS SET TO AUTO. I HAVE WORKED WITH HYUNDAI, AND ENGINEERING HAS CONFIRMED THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL CASES WHERE THE SENSOR MALFUNCTIONS AND TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND ON. IT IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS THIS HAPPENS AT NIGHT AND DURING THE DAY.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS LEFT AND RIGHT DO NOT OPEN. THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THEY BOTH WILL NOT OPEN. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE MORE THAN 30 TIMES FOR THE DOORS TO OPEN. IT'S NOT SAFE AND MY CHILD HAS BEEN STUCK IN THE CAR WAITING FOR ME TO GET HER OUT.
WHILE DRIVING ON OCTOBER 31ST OUR CAR STARTING MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING SOUND BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT COME ON SO WE THOUGHT MAYBE SOMETHING GOT STUCK ON THE BOTTOM BUT NOTHING WAS THERE. ON NOV 1ST THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON SO WE WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED. ON THE WAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER THE KNOCKING SOUND GOT WORSE. WHEN THE SOUND GOT WORSE THE CAR WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESSED THE PEDDLE. WE ASSUMED IT WAS THE BATTERY AND GOT A REPLACEMENT BUT THE ISSUE DIDN'T GO AWAY. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A PLACE FOR AN OIL CHANGE BUT AFTER THAT THE PROBLEM WAS EVEN WORSE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY GAVE OUT, IT WOULD NO LONGER START. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY YOU CAN HEAR THE ENGINE WANTING TO TURN ON BIT IT NEVER DOES. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC THE SAME DAY AND HE WAS ABLE TO LOOK AT IT TODAY (NOV 1ST). HE SAID THE MOTOR WAS COMPLETELY SHOT AND THE CAR WAS UNUSABLE. WE ARE ABOUT 1200 OVER THE WARRANTY SO THE DEALSHIP WILL NOT HELP US. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO GIVE OUT ON THE HIGHWAY WITHOUT NOTICE. NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH THE EXPENSE WHILE HYU YOUNDAI DOES NOTHING ABOUT CHECKING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS THAT ARE WAY TOO SIMILAR TO MINE, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.
FIRST THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT AND I TRIED SEVERAL BULBS PUT IN BUT THEY DIDN'T WORK. NEXT THE DRIVERD DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THR OUTSIDE AFTER THR UNLOCK BUTTON WAS PUSHED. THEN THE AIRBAGS WENT OUT. LAST WEEK MY ENGINE WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING.
HAVING TURNED ONTO THE SUBDIVISION STREET TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, MY HUSBAND NOTICED A CHEMICAL SMELL. HE ROLLED DOWN THE CAR WINDOW AND THE SMELL WAS MORE INTENSE, SO HE ASSUMED IT WAS COMING FROM THE OUTSIDE .AFTER ABOUT 1/4 MILE DRIVE, HE ATTEMPTED TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE STREET TOWARDS OUR HOUSE, BUT HAD TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING. AT THAT POINT THE WINDOW STATED TO FOG UP. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. HOWEVER HE DECIDED TO PULL THE CAR TO THE SIDE AND OUT OF THE STREET AND ONTO AN EMPTY LOT. THERE WERE POPPING SOUNDS AND HE SAW SPARKS COMING FROM THE HOOD. HE MANAGED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR JUST IN TIME TO ESCAPE THE ENSUING FLAMES. LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT DRIVING ON A BUSY STREET OR HIGHWAY!. THERE WAS NO WARNING RE THE FIRE AND THE CAR WAS WELL MAINTAINED SO WHAT WAS THE REASON?
THE VEHICLE HESITATE WHILE YOU ARE IN LINE ON A FAST FOOD OR WHEN YOU ARE IN A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC JAM, WHEN YOU LEFT THE BRAKE PEDAL. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE VEHICLE DO NOT MOVE, IT TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS TO MOVE.
BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND THE WINDOW WILL ONLY ROLL UP OR DOWN USING THE SWITCH ON THE DOOR AND NOT THE MASTER SWITCH ON THE DRIVER DOOR. PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ANY BACK SEAT PASSENGER. IT WAS WORKING ON MINUTE AND THEN COMPLETELY QUIT WITH THE WINDOWDOWN.
I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2017 WITH ROUGHLY 33000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 89000 ON IT. I FIRST HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NOT WORKING. BOUGHT A MOTOR HAD IT REPLACED. NOW MY DRIVERSIDE DOOR OPENS SOMETIMES, YOU HAVE TO PULL HANDLE 3 OR 4 TIMES TO OPEN IT. DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AT ALL. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL ON THIS?THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE MAX! I AM 57AND CAN'T BE CLIMBING OVER SEATS OR CONSOLES TO GET OUT! I ALSO CAN'T AFFORD THESE KINDS OF REPAIRS. I AM PAYING 400 A MONTH FOR A DEATH TRAP! NO ONE CAN RIDE WITH ME BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY CROSSED OVER SEATS! PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS ISSUE EITHER.
ISSUE WITH FRONT PASSENGER AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS - THEY WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE DUE TO AN ISSUE WITH THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS CAN BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND COULD EVEN RESULT IN A FATALITY IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. IMAGINE IF THE CAR WAS ON FIRE AND NEITHER YOU NOR EMS COULD GET YOU OUT! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND IF I NEEDED TO GET THEM OUT OF THE CAR QUICKLY DUE TO A MEDICAL EMERGENCY, I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO DO SO. THIS SHOULD SERIOUSLY BE LOOKED INTO AS A RECALL AND ANYONE WHO'S HAD TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER
MY PASSENGER DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN OR UNLOCK. I TOOK TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER PRIME HYUNDAI IN PLYMOUTH ANDS WASN TOLD MY DOOR ACUATOR WAS BENT???????IF THE DOOR WAS HARDLY USEDN AND NOT IN AN ACCIDENT THAT MEANS THE PART WAS ALWAYS BENTBB. THE DEALER WANTS $460.00 TO REPLACE. I HAD PREVIOUS APPTS. TO HAVE REPAIRED AND COULDN'T MAKE THEM. I AM NOT UNDER WARRANTY BY 14 DAYS.. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WHY WASNT IT UNDER WARRANTY.
REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK OR OPEN MANUALLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK.
MY DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. I HAVE SEEN A HYUNDAI DEALER AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY BY 2 WEEKS. (I DID HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN SEPTEMBER BUT COULDN'T GET TO THE DEALER.)I HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING THE. AT TO MUCH WITH THE COVID 19 DISEASE. THE DOOR HASN'T OPENED IN COUPLE OF MONTHS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY HYUNDAI. I HAVE READ OTHER PEOPLE'S SAME PROBLEM.
MY DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM NEITHER THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CARSEATS WHO RIDE IN THE BACK. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN A EXTREME INCONVENIENCE AS I HAVE TO CLIMB OVER ONE CHILD TO BUCKLE IN THE OTHER. WE WERE TOLD THIS WILL COST AN UPWARDS OF $1000 TO FIX, BUT THIS INDEED A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED ASAP.
ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI (AND SEVERAL OTHERS IN VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS), THERE IS A KNOWN DOOR LATCH ISSUE THAT AFFECTS 2015 AND NEWER HYUNDAI TUCSONS AND POSSIBLY OTHER HYUNDAI MODELS. OUR 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WILL ONLY OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS POSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WAS TO BECOME DAMAGED OR BLOCKED, IT WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO 1. ESCAPE THE VEHICLE, OR 2. SAVE SOMEONE IN THE BACKSEAT DURING AN EMERGENCY- SPECIFICALLY CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES OR ELDERLY WHO REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. IF THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE, AND LATER AFFECTS THE PASSENGER'S SIDE, ONE COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE TO BREAK A WINDOW JUST TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE PUTS DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS IN IMMINENT DANGER, NOT TO MENTION THE STRESS, FRUSTRATION AND FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN YOUR CAR DOOR TO REMOVE A CHILD FROM A CAR SEAT OR LOVED ONE INTO THEIR WHEEL CHAIR. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ANY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ONE THAT IS ONLY 3.5 YEARS OLD. HYUNDAI'S UNWILLINGNESS TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM FOR ANYTHING LESS THAN $1000 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE HAS TOO MANY MILES IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MILEAGE- IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN NEEDING AN IMMEDIATE RECALL. BEING LOCKED/TRAPPED INSIDE A VEHICLE IS NEVER OKAY.
PASSENGER LEFT DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FORM EITHER I SIDE OR OUTSIDE. I SEE ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER HYUNDAI OWNERS EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEM.
FOR A FEW DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, THE CAR HESITATED SLIGHTLY FROM A DEAD STOP WHILE WE ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS FROM THE CAR INDICATING ANY ISSUE. BECAUSE IT SEEMED ODD, WE MADE A APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE. WHILE WAITING FOR OUR APPOINTMENT ON JULY 12TH, 2020, MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION, SUCH THAT THE ENGINE WOULD JUST SPIN WITH NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS AT HIGHER RPM'S. FEATHERING THE THROTTLE, A SPEED OF ABOUT 45 MPH COULD BE ATTAINED ON FLAT GROUND AND SIGNIFICANTLY SLOWER ON HILLS. AFTER LIMPING IT ALONG TO A LOCAL SHOP, WERE WERE TOLD THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS CLOGGED, CAUSING IT TO OVERHEAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER, WHICH HAD FAILED SENDING SHRAPNEL THROUGH THE TRANSMISSION. THEY ONLY KNEW THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD TO TAKE THE CAR APART, SINCE EVEN AFTER THE FAILURE, NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WE ENDED UP NEEDING A FULL TRANSMISSION REBUILD, A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THERE WAS NO INDICATION FROM THE CARS WARNING SYSTEMS THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG, EVEN AFTER THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE INTERSTATE.
THE RIGHT REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN WHO RIDE IN THE BACK SEAT ON EACH SIDE OF THE CAR. IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR A CAR FIRE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHICH COULD TRAP THE CHILDREN INSIDE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR RESCUE WORKERS TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE AS WELL. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT WITH DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR RENDERING THAT DOOR INOPERABLE THE CHILDREN WILL HAVE NO WAY TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE. IN CASE OF A FIRE, BOTH CHILDREN WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE FROM THE SAME DOOR, DELAYING THE ESCAPE FOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN WHO WILL HAVE TO CROSS THE CAR AND EXIT THE OTHER SIDE. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CHILDREN DO NOT HAVE AN ACCESSIBLE EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY AND THOSE PRECIOUS MOMENTS REQUIRED TO USE AN ALTERNATIVE EXIT COULD RESULT IN SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH FOR ONE OF THE CHILDREN. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE REPAIRED AND THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FURTHER DELAYING THE REPAIR AND PUTTING THE CHILDREN AT RISK EVEN LONGER. THE PART ON BACK ORDER INDICATES THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS VEHICLE AND THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL.
THERE IS A STRESS CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. WE NOTICED IT IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER. THE WINDSHIELD HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND THE CRACK CAME OUT OF NO WHERE. IT IS COMPLETELY SMOOTH INSIDE AND OUT. THE WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT COMPANIES I HAVE CALLED USUALLY SAY THIS IS DUE TO INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF A WINDSHIELD.
BOUGHT CAR AND DRIVERS BACK DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. FAULTY HARDWARE.WINDOWS HAVE ISSUES TOO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HIS DAUGHTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THE DRIVER CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER ATLANTIC HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 193 SUNRISE HWY NORTH SERVICE RD, WEST ISLIP, NY 11795, (631) 587-0700, TO NOTIFY THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V348000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 60,000.
NORTH ON I95 SPEED 65 MILES AT 3PM AND THE ENGINE FROZE AND HAD TO FIGHT TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE VEHICLE ENGINE REACTED JUST LIKE THE INFO ON THE HYUNDAI WEB SITE THE VEHICLE HAS 114285 MILES AND WILL NOT BE COVERED LIKE THE OTHER HYUNDAI RECALLS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HYUNDAI DE MAYAGUEZ, MAYAGEZ, 00682, PUERTO RICO, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.
THE RIGHT REAR DOOR OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE. WORKED WHEN WE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, DID NOT WORK WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 15 MINUTES LATER. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRIC LOCKS ARE TRYING TO WORK AND THE PHYSICAL BUTTON ON THE INSIDE IS SHOWING TO BE UNLOCKED, BUT NEITHER THE INSIDE HANDLE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE WILL OPEN THE DOOR.
MY DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. BOTH MY BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE STOPPED OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN, I HAVE 2 KIDS UNDER 5 IN CAR SEATS AND IF I NEEDED TO GET THEM OUT IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IN A TIMELY MANNER. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1000 FOR MY DOOR TO OPEN.
MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR LATCH OR THE EXTERIOR.AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I NORMALLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY MY PASSENGERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR.
PASSENGER SIDE DOORS - FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR - STOPPED OPENING. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (ROLLING DOWN WINDOW), BUT THE BACK DOOR HAD THE CHILD LOCK ENGAGED SO COULD NOT BE OPENED AT ALL. ANALYSIS AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS (IN BOTH CASES) THE ACTUATOR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD IN CHILDSEAT IN BACK AND COULD NOT GET TO HER QUICKLY. I'VE NOW MOVED HER CAR SEAT TO THE OTHER SIDE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE THE CHILDLOCK ON THAT DOOR IN CASE THE SAME THING HAPPENS - THEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REACH HER AT ALL - THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.
IT ALL STARTED OUT WITH THE DRIVER DOOR. THE PUSH BUTTON FELL OFF, THE DOOR WAS STILL ABLE TO OPEN BUT NOW THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE CO-PILOT DOOR FAILED AT OPENING. YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THREE TIMES BEFORE IT OPENS. THEN THE CO-PILOT WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WENT TO GO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE DOOR SHOULD BE FIXED AFTER REPLACING THE MOTOR. FALSE. DOOR STILL DOES NOT WORK. REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. COULD BE A RISK SINCE NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IN THE BACK IS OPERABLE. THE WINDOW FROM THE DRIVER DOOR STOPPED OPERATING. THAT IS NOW THREE OF 4 DOORS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS IS A RECALL? ALSO WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW GOT FIXED THEY SAID THE PLASTIC MOTOR WAS SLIGHTLY MELTED?! FIRE HAZARD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHICH OF THE AIR BAGS WERE AFFECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON CARTER HYUNDAI (18100 GULF FWY, FRIENDSWOOD, TX 77546) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.
WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.
WHEN STARTING FROM A FULL STOP THE CAR HESITATES FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING; MAKING IT UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR BECOMES VERY JERKY AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT IS WORKING THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD.WE HAVE LOST OUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE,
MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH POWER. MY CAR HAS STOP ON THE HWY AND HAS CLANKING NOISE WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO 4000RPM. IT'S SLOW TO SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES STAYS AT 50MPH NO MATTER HOW LONG MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AND EVEN HAD A TUNE UP AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. IN REVERSE IT'S FINE BUT GOING FORWARD THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T HAVE $5000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!
THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT UNLOCKS AND CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ONCE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AFTER BEING UNLOCKED, YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND RE-OPEN AGAIN FROM THE OUTSIDE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE WITH THE LATCH. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI. HAVING ALL DOORS WORK IS CERTAINLY AN SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE ON OR OFF.
2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON WITH 143K LOST ENGINE 3-4Q OF OIL IN LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO THE POINT ENGINE ALMOST SEIZED. NO SENSORS FOR CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK OIL LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. THIS COULD'VE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT DETECTED IF THE ENGINE SEIZED IN OPERATION WITH NO WARNING. THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR AND THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE
REAR DRIVER DOOR LOCK HAS FAILED. DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE. SAFETY ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, REAR PASSENGER CAN'T EXIT. IF TRAPPED BEHIND DRIVER SEAT.
THE CAR DOESNT GO WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM EXASTURBATED WHEN THE CARS 1ST 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AND ANYTIME I GO FROM A COMPLETE STOP FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS, THERE IS LITTLE MOMENTUM, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TO USE THE 7 SPEED MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY PULLING OUT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, VERO BEACH IS RUDE! GETTING A LOANER FOR THIS RECALL WAS HORRIFIC THE 1ST TIME, AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A VEHICLE THE 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH TIME. #2 THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR, DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES, GOD FORBID THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO ESCAPE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 4 RECALLS, 1 BEING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE GETS SCARIER EVERY DAY, AND I AM DISABLED ALREADY. I DONT WANT TO DIE IN THIS VEHICLE.
I HAVE ONE DOOR HANDLE (BACK PASSENGER SIDE) THAT HAS BROKEN OFF, ONE DOOR HANDLE (FRONT DRIVERS) STARTING TO FAIL WHERE I HAVE TO PULL IT 2 TIMES TO OPEN THE DOOR. ALSO, THE FRONT 2 WINDOWS WILL NO LONGER ROLL DOWN AND THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. I AM UNABLE TO FIX THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DUE TO THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE THAT HAS COMPLETELY MADE THE DOOR INOPERABLE FROM INSIDE OR OUT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT CAN NOT EXIT THROUGH THAT DOOR.
IT STARTED MAKING LOAD KNOCKING NOISES AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, SHE HEARD AN ABNORMAL POPPING AND GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE OIL LIGHT WARNING LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. DESPITE THE VEHICLE LOSING POWER, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH ENGINE FAILURE. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 109,904.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR LATCHES WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.
ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE MOTOR PART WORKS B/C I CAN HEAR IT...THE WINDOW JUST DOESN'T GO UP OR DOWN. IT'S LIKELY OFF THE TRACKS. I CAN UNDERSTAND ONE BUT ALL FOUR.....SERIOUSLY ALL FOUR WINDOWS DO NOT WORK. ALL THIS HAPPENED COICIDENTALLY JSUT AS I HIT THE 65,000 MILE MARK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HTE DRIVER SIDE THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET UNDER WARRANTY. IF THERE IS A RECALL NEEDED IT'S FOR THE WINDOWS!
THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AFTER BEING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. IF YOU TAP FIRMLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR WITH THE CAR UNLOCKED, THE DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE JUST FINE UNTIL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AGAIN. I'VE DONE LOTS OF ONLINE RESEARCH AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.
I HAVE A 2016 TUCSON SPORT WITH 62000 MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE AC BLOWING HOT AIR ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS.. I TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR, THE TORQUE LIMITER HAD INTERNALLY SHEARED DUE TO BINDING. NOW 4.5 MONTHS LATER IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIXED, THE STEERING COLUMN, HOUSING, AND MDPS MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACED AS WELL.
NOT LONG AFTER I GOT THE CAR I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. MY CAR WOULD BE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS COLLISIONS (FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I'M TURNING LEFT AND NEED TO GO BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHES ME BUT THE CAR HESITATES TO MOVE. THIS HESITATION IS ALSO OFTEN EVIDENT WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY). I ENDED UP EMAILING HYUNDAI USA IN MARCH OF 2017 TO INFORM THEM OF MY ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL BACK, AND WAS HOPEFUL THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS THAT WOULD HELP FIX THE ISSUE, BUT IN THE END, THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?' I AM NOW EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT WILL JERK AND SHUDDER AS I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED JERKING AND VIBRATION. THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED FROM A STANDING START. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (KING HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 1399 S FEDERAL HWY, DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33441) WHO PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT IS UNLOCKED AND THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ARE NOT ENGAGED. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING FROM INSIDE NOR PULLING FROM OUTSIDE WILL MOVE THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. THERE HAVE BEEN NO IMPACTS, ETC. TO THE VEHICLE WHATSOVER. WE WENT OUT TO GO FOR A DRIVE AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR FOR MY TODDLER TO GET IN.
MY RIGHT SIDE REAR DOOR, AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES BOTH STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT OPEN THE DOOR. MY CAR DOOR WILL NOT BUDGE FROM THE INSIDE NOR OUTSIDE NO MATTER HOW MUCH FORCE I PUT INTO IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I HAVE TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS, IF I EVER HAD TO GET THEM OUT IN AN EMERGENCY I'D HAVE TO GET THEM OUT THROUGH THE WINDOW! THIS IS NOT A CHEAP FIX, AND I SEE IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL. PLEASE WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET
I WENT TO GET MY 1 YR OLD OUT OF HIS CAR SEAT LAST NIGHT AND THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. IT WAS UNLOCKED. I'VE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS SO THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IF THERE WAS AN EMERGENCY AND I HAD TO GET HIM OUT QUICKLY. I HAD TO CRAWL IN THE BACK SEAT AND DRAG MY 30 LB 1 YEAR OLD OUT UP OVER HIS CAR SEAT AND THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE CAR OUT THE DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER DOOR.
BOTH THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE REAR DOORS WON'T OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. NO CHILD LOCK IS ON, AND THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON WORKS FINE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I PULL THE DOOR HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. I HAVE MY CHILDREN SITTING IN THE REAR SEATS AND IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE, BEING UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM EITHER SIDE. I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON, AND THERE ARE MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, IN KOREA, THE ORIGINAL COUNTRY OF HYUNDAI, THE NATIONAL CONSUMER REPORT AGENCY ANNOUNCED, IN DECEMBER 2019, OF THIS ISSUE AND REQUESTED HYUNDAI MOTORS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI HAS ACCEPTED TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN ISSUE TO THE CONSUMERS. HYUNDAI HAS FAILED TO IMPLEMENT THIS FIX IN US AND IT IS A VERY BIG EXPENSE THAT THE CUSTOMER HAS TO BEAR FOR A SAFETY ISSUE. UPON INVESTIGATION I FOUND THAT THE REAR DOOR-LOCK LATCH ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY IS THE PROBLEM COMPONENT THAT HAS SOME SORT OF CHEAP PLASTIC CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE UPLOADED THE PICTURES OF THE LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT REQUIRES A REPLACEMENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR DOORS FAILED TO OPEN AND CLOSE WITHOUT SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. ADDITIONALLY, THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW WAS INOPERABLE. THE ENGINE SPLASH COVER DETACHED FROM VEHICLE. THE CLEAN FRONT RADAR MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED, AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE DETECTED FROM THE MUFFLER. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODHOUSE HYUNDAI OF OMAHA (8410 S 145TH ST, OMAHA, NE 68138, (402) 592-1007) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
THE VEHICLE I PURCHASE AT THE DEALERSHIP IS LOOSING OR FLASHING OIL. IN 3 MONTHS TIME, GIVE OR TAKE, OIL IS LOW LOW AND THE CAR HESITATE TO ON TAKE OFF UNTIL OIL PRESSURE INCREASES.
MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULD ONLY OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE AFTER 3+ PULLS ON THE HANDLE. NOW THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. LOCK STILL ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES, BUT DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS COMPROMISES THE SAFETY OF MY REAR PASSENGERS.
POWER WINDOWS FAIL TO OPERATE,LEFT TURN SIGNAL FAILS TO ENGAGE, BRAKE LIGHT OUT INDICATOR SHOWS LIGHT OUT WHEN ITS NOT.DEALER NOTIFIED AND PROBLEM RESOLVED BUT RE OCCURS
IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, 3 OF MY 4 DOORS OPEN UNRELIABLY AND ONE WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL. IT STARTED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. YOU ALWAYS MUST PULL THE HANDLE 2 TO 4 TIMES TO GET IT TO OPEN. IT SEEMED ONLY AN INCONVENIENCE, AND IT WAS QUOTED AS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX, SO I JUST IGNORED IT. THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. IT ALWAS TAKES 2 TO 4 ATTEMPTS AT PULLING THE HANDLE TO OPEN. AGAIN, I CHALKED IT UP TO AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME VERY CONCERNING. THE REASON I WRITE IS THAT NOW (JUST WEEKS AFTER THE SECOND DOOR'S RELIABILITY ISSUE STARTED), MY REAR RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN, NO MATTER HOW MANY ATTEMPTS YOU MAKE. THE TWO FRONT DOORS DO OPEN ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT FROM THE INSIDE AS THEY SHOULD. HOWEVER, THE REAR RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NEVER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS NOT A CHILD LOCK ISSUE AS I'VE NEVER USED THEM. IT SIMPLY STOPPED WORKING. THE DOOR IS USELESS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION IF SOMEONE IN THE BACK SEAT NEEDED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A HURRY. I RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND IT APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON ON HYUNDAI TUCSONS - I SAW MANY PEOPLE DESCRIBING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP IS ASKING ANYWHERE FROM $400 TO $1000 TO FIX EACH DOOR! AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, I FEEL THAT IT STRONGLY WARRANTS CONSIDERATION FOR A RECALL THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S, REAR PASSENGER'S AND REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS WERE UNABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO BEAVERTON HYUNDAI (13255 SW FARMINGTON RD, BEAVERTON, OR 97005) WHERE THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE MECHANISM THAT ENGAGED THE LOCKS HAD WORN, WHICH HAD CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND FILED A CLAIM. THE CONTACT'S CLAIM WAS DENIED DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON HER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAD YET TO BE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.
REAR DOOR BEHIND DRIVER SIDE, DOES NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE CAR
WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE STUDDERS AND HAS A HARD TIME PICKING UP SPEED (RPM GOES HIGH). WHEN TRYING ENTER INTO TRAFFIC IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE VEHICLE DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED.
RIGHT (PASSENGER) REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE EVEN IF THE DOOR IS UNLOCKED. THE DOOR LOCK IS FUNCTIONAL, BUT THE LATCH DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE DOOR HANDLE IS PULLED. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF REAR PASSENGERS NEED TO EXIT IN AN EMERGENCY.
WINDOWS DO NOT OPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THE CASE PASSENGERS NEED TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE WINDOWS.
THE DRIVER AND BACK PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES BOTH JUST JAMMED ONE DAY, THE DRIVER WINDOW SWITCH SHORTS OUT, DASH LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON AND OFF RANDOMLY, THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALREADY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE HAS BEEN TICKING FOR MONTHS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS DUE TO LOW OIL AND REFUSED TO LOOK INTO IT. NOW ITS TO THE POINT OF TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE.... PLEASE HELP ME I HAVNT EVEN HAD IT FOR 2 YEARS YET
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE. THE LOCK TOGGLE AND DOOR HANDLE STILL MOVE BUT DO NOT WORK.
THIS IS THE 2 TIME THIS HAPPENS THE 1ST TIMES WAS THE BACK DOOR WE STILL HAD WARRANTY WE GOT THAT FIXED NOT ITS THE DRIVER SIDE IT DOES NOT UNLOCK WE HAVE TO GO INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE. IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING ME HOW AN I GOING TO GET INTO MY CAR! THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY MY CALLED STALLED. I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WAS COASTING AT THIS POINT DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION. I INTERRUPTED THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO GO FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. 10 MINUTES FROM HOME THE STALLING STARTED AGAIN, I GOT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY, PULLED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND PULLED HEAD INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, PUT IT INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE CAR. AS I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE THE STALLING STARTED AGAIN, I WENT TO BACK MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE SPOT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. I CUT THE CAR OF AND RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE MY CAR INTO MY SPOT. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/20) I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON 7/21/20 AND THEY PERFORMED VIGOROUS ROAD TESTS, SCANNED FOR CODES NO CODES PRESENT, CAR WAS LEFT TO IDLE FOR 20 MINUTES AND STILL NO ISSUES AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FROM 7/21-7/23/20. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR , ESPECIALLY WITH IT STALLING ON THE PARKWAY WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF, MY CURRENT PASSENGER(S) AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I'M THANKFUL THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T TAILGATING OR HE WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO ME.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN USING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE EVENTHOUGH IT IS IN THE UNLOCKED POSITION . LOCKING AND UNLOCKING SWITCH INSIDE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY WORKING. TRUCK HANDLE SOMETIMES WON'T OPEN TRUNK.
BOTH BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE OR THE INSIDE. THEY WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK, BUT WILL NOT OPEN. ACCORDING TO THE FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS YEAR OF HYUNDAI CARS.
OUR TUCSON SHIFTED DOWN AS WE PULLED INTO AN INTERSECTION AND WOULD NOT MOVE MORE THAN 5 MPH. WE WERE NEARLY STRUCK BY A TRACTOR-TRAILER. THIS IS THE THIRD SERIOUS INCIDENT INVOLVING THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. WE WILL NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL HYUNDAI REPLACES THE TRANSMISSION.
THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS (ABOUT TWICE A MONTH, IN VARIOUS TYPES OF DRIVING CONDITIONS), WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW ROLL OR A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE HAS REVVED FREELY AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE FORWARD, DESPITE BEING IN DRIVE. THIS OBVIOUSLY CREATES AN INCREDIBLY UNSAFE CONDITION, SINCE THE LOSS OF PROPULSION HAPPENS ENTIRELY WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN RESULT IN A COLLISION. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF ISSUES WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSIONS IN 2016 AND OTHER MODEL YEAR VEHICLES, AND HAS ISSUED A TSB TO ADDRESS PROBLEMATIC UNITS (TSB # 19-AT-002H). DESPITE THE FACT THAT MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY AND PREDICTABLY EXHIBITS SYMPTOMS IDENTIFIED IN THE DIAGNOSTIC PORTION OF THAT TSB (JUDDER WHEN COASTING FROM A STOP), MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER HAS CONSULTED WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE LOSS OF PROPULSION THAT I DESCRIBED. NO REPAIR PRESCRIBED BY THE TSB WAS PERFORMED.
BOTH REAR DOORS DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WHEN UNLOCKED. CHILD SAFETY LOCK IS NOT ON.
A FEW MONTHS AGO, MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STOPPED GOING UP RANDOMLY ONE DAY. THE MOTOR WAS REPLACED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS WEEKEND, THE RIGHT PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOW QUIT WORKING TOO. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR SERVICE, AND THEY TESTED ALL OF THE WINDOWS AND THE BACK RIGHT WINDOW IS ALSO NOT WORKING. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER SAID THAT HE SEES EVERY SINGLE TUSCON HAVE ALL FOUR WINDOW MOTORS FAIL AT SOME POINT- HE REPLACED FOUR VEHICLES WINDOW MOTORS TODAY ALONE! MY CAR IS A 2016, THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO EVERY SINGLE WINDOW LIKE CLOCKWORK. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ON THESE WINDOW MOTORS, AND THEY SHOULD BE COVERED IF THEY FAIL AFTER THE WARRANTY IS UP, BECAUSE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, NOT THE RESULTS OF WEAR AND TEAR. IT IS DANGEROUS TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF WINDOWS IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS, AND FOR THE SAFETY OF YOUR VEHICLE LEAVING IT PARKED ANYWHERE WITH THE INABILITY TO LOCK IT UP.
WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, WEST BOUND ,PEOPLE WERE YELLING AT ME... WASN'T SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON...I ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW TO HEAR THEM YELLING " YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE" SO I PULL OFF ROAD IN TO A PARKING LOT...STOP AND OPEN DOOR AS FIRE RUSHING IN AS I'M "LITERALLY" HAVING TO JUMP OUT ! TRYING TO PUT FIRE OUT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER ,BUT DID NOT WORK...MAYBE 10 MINS LATER ,FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVES AND PUTS IT OUT
THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR WON'T OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. NO CHILD LOCK IS ON, AND THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON WORKS FINE, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I PULL THE DOOR HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE. I HAVE MY CHILD SITTING IN THE REAR SEAT AND IT IS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE, BEING UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM EITHER SIDE. I FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE TO THIS PARTICULAR YEAR MODEL 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON, AND THERE ARE MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. ALSO, IN KOREA, THE ORIGINAL COUNTRY OF HYUNDAI, THE NATIONAL CONSUMER REPORT AGENCY ANNOUNCED, IN DECEMBER 2019, OF THIS ISSUE AND REQUESTED HYUNDAI MOTORS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND HYUNDAI HAS ACCEPTED TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN ISSUE TO THE CONSUMERS. HYUNDAI HAS SENT OUT A LETTER TO THE OWNER OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, TUCSON, MANUFACTURED BETWEEN MAY 2015 TO DECEMBER 2016, (106,726 CARS) TO REPAIR AND REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH 4EA AT NO COST. IT IS THE SAME MODEL AND THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE ALSO FOR THE CONSUMERS IN THE USA AND IT NEEDS TO BE ON THE RECALL LIST. PLEASE TAKE LOOK AT THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AND TAKE NECESSARY ACTION TO HYUNDAI MOTORS USA. BELOW IS THE LINK IN KOREAN ABOUT DOOR LATCH RECALL ON 2016 TUCSON VEHICLES, PUBLISHED IN DECEMBER 2019.

GOT THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP IN JULY LAST YEAR. A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED YOU WOULD NOTICE A HESITATION FROM THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILES DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD KNOCKING NOISES ONE MORNING AND BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. GOT IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOP AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A "GOODWILL" REPAIR WHICH WILL END UP COSTING $4800. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS NOTED FROM THE 2016 TUCSON OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED BEFORE FOR A TUCSON SECONDARY HOOD LATCH RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO MANLY HYUNDAI (2755 CORBY AVE, SANTA ROSA, CA 95407) WHERE AN UNKNOWN SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS PERFORMED ON VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE DOOR CEASED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ED VOYLES HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 2135 COBB PKWY SE, SMYRNA, GA 30080 WHERE THE CONTACT WAS PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 111,000.
THE REAR TRAILING ARM WAS BROKEN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD FLAMES WERE DISCOVERED COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. A FIRE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE AND THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE HOME. THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH WAS INOPERABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.
ABOUT A WEEK AGO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OCCASIONALLY BEGAN TO REMAIN LOCKED ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND SHUT OFF, INSTEAD OF UNLOCKING AUTOMATICALLY. NOW, THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS STARTED TO DO THE SAME. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE BOTH IN CAR SEATS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM OUT OF THE CAR. ESPECIALLY WITH THE WEATHER GETTING WARMER. *TR
THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT CHANGING GEARS, DRAGGING. THE LEFT TAIL LIGHT HAS GONE OUT LIKE 3 TIMES IN 2 YEARS. I SEE A RECALL ON TRANSMISSIONS ON TUCSON MY YEAR MODEL BUT WHEN I ENTER THE VIN IT SAYS NO ACTIVE RECALLS NOT SURE WHAT TO DO? *TR
MY CAR KEEPS HAVING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. IT STRUGGLES TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHEN I TRY TO GO TO 40 MPH. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY ESPECIALLY GETTING INTO HIGHWAYS SINCE I STRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC UPON ENTERING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ALREADY AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR
I'M THE OWNER OF A 2016 HYUNDAI SANTA FE THAT THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND WHEN I OPENED THE HOOD CAR WAS ON FIRE I LOOKED LIKE A MOVIE CAR BLOW UP BURSTING GLASS EVERYWHERE I ALMOST DIED IF I DIDN'T STOP TO LOOK AT IT. *TR
ABOUT A YEAR AGO, MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STARTED MALFUNCTIONING WHEN TRYING TO OPEN IT. I HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE 2-3 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR WILL SUCCESSFULLY OPEN. TWO DAYS AGO, MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN AT ALL FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS I BABYSIT MY 3 AND 8 YEAR OLD NIECE AND NEPHEW FREQUENTLY. I'VE NOTICED ON FORUMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON THING AND I FEEL AS THOUGH IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
HYUNDAI TUCSON WAS BEING DRIVEN ALONG US 290 IN BRENHAM TEXAS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. DRIVER PULLED OVER AND TRIED TO RESTART. SUV WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHO SAID THE ENGINE WAS PERFORATED AND "BLOWN" AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *** MORE INFORMATION DEALER SAYS ENGINE IS PERFORATED. THIS SHOULD BE COVERED AS IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AS DETAILED AT CONSUMER REPORTS. HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERREPORTS.ORG/CARS/HYUNDAI/TUCSON/2016/RELIABILITY/ FULL MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS IN ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO, FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS. MY NIECE, [XXX] , WAS DRIVING SUV IN BRENHAM TEXAS WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. SHE PULLED OFF US 290 AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO HYUNDAI OF BRENHAM WHERE THE MECHANIC DIAGONOSED IT AS A PERFORATED ENGINE THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HYUNDAI OR BRENHAM SERVICE: 979-337-8447 PARTS: 979-277-7580 1710 HIGHWAY 290 WBRENHAM, TX 77833 I HAVE ALSO TALKED TO HYUNDAI USA VIA PHONE AND FILLED ANOTHER CASE WITH MORE DETAILS HYUNDAI CASE #[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
REAR DOOR LOCK IS INTERMITTENTLY UNLOCKING DOOR. DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BY MANY OWNERS AND HYUNDAI IS SAYING NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR FOR THE DOOR AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE IT EVALUATED BY THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
DRIVER DOOR SUDDENLY STOPPED OPENING. THERE IS NO WAY TO ENTER THE VEHICLE USING THE DRIVER DOOR. THE CAR WAS UNLOCKED USING THE KEY FOB AND LOCKS WERE NOT A FACTOR. 2 DAYS LATER THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR SUDDENLY WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE. CHILD SAFETY LOCK WAS NOT IN USE AND THE CAR WAS UNLOCKED USING THE KEY FOB. THERE IS NO WAY FOR A PERSON TO ENTER OR EXIT THE VEHICLE THROUGH THAT DOOR. VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IN AN EMERGENCY RIDERS WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND COULD BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE. THE DRIVER ALSO NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY ENTER THE VEHICLE. HYUNDAI DEALER IDENTIFIED FAILED LATCH ASSEMBLY AS THE PROBLEM. *TR
REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THE PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION ONLINE IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE ACTUATOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DOOR IS SHUT AND THERE IS NOT WAY TO OPEN IT WITHOUT UNHINGING THE DOOR AND GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT AND NOT FROM A RESULT OF WEAR AND TEAR.
TUCSON STORED IN GARAGE. LEFT AFTER 8AM TO GO TO WORK. AFTER APPROX 10-15 MIN ON THE ROAD IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB EXPLODED ABOVE MY HEAD AND I COULD HEAR THE BITS OF GLASS HITTING THE HEADLINER/SUN VISOR AS I SLOWED DOWN AND CAREFULLY DROVE WITH MY HAZARDS ON. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON THE 202 FREEWAY HEADED WEST TO I-10 WITH NO EXITS UNTIL I-10 & RAY RD. I HAD BEEN GOING APPROX. 65MPH WHEN THIS HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING. I THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE TOSSED SOMETHING OFF THE KYRENE OVERPASS, BUT PRETTY SURE I WAS TOO FAR AWAY AT THAT TIME. INTERIOR A/C WAS SET TO 74 WITH THE FAN ON LEVEL 2. CHECKED THE TEMP AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS READING 81. I DO HAVE PICTURES, HOWEVER THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO ATTACH.
MY BACK DOORS STARTED TO NOT OPEN INTERMITTENTLY. AND NOW NEITHER OF THEM WILL OPEN. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AS I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN IN CARSEATS IN THE BACKSEAT AND IF ANYTHING WERE TO HAPPEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THEM OUT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE.
HI. I REPORTED THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING TO TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERS, SERVICE DEPT. THE PROBLEM VARIES FROM NOT BE ABLE TO SET THE SPEED, TO NOT BEING ABLE TO LOWER THE SPEED, TO NOT RESPONDING TO CANCEL, BECAUSE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY . ALL ACTIONS ARE BY USING THE CONTROL TOGGLES ON THE STEERING WHEEL CONSOLE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AS SOME TIMES IT WORKS FINE, AND FOR OTHER DRIVES IT WON'T ENGAGE AT ALL, OR WILL NOT DISENGAGE THE SPEED WHEN HITTING CANCEL. I CAN TAP THE BRAKE TO SLOW SPEED, WHICH CAN ALARM A DRIVER BEHIND MY LANE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. THE SERVICE STAFF CAN NOT GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DUPLICATE ON A VEHICLE TEST DRIVES. SO WITH THAT, THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT REPLACE THE STEERING LINKAGE, OR ANY PART BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT PROVE IT IS FAULTY. I EXPLAINED HOW IT IS NOT SAFE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY WITH NATURALLY HIGHER SPEEDS TO CONSIDER. WITH FIVE REPORTS OF THE FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL ON FILE, AT DIFFERENT HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTERS, THE UNSAFE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN THE TUSCON 2016 SUV. I HAVE PAPERWORK SHOWING REPORTED SAFETY CONCERNS SEPT 18, 2018, MAR 27, 2019, JUNE 3, 2019, AUGUST 15, 2019, OCT 16, 2019. PLUS A PERSONAL VIDEO OF PUSHING AND TOGGLING THE CONTROLS WITHOUT CRUISE RESPONSE.THAT IS OVER A YEAR OF THE REPORTING THE MALFUNCTIONING SPEED CONTROL. IT IS UNSAFE WITH NO SOLUTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A TEMPORARY HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND THEN RETURN TO OPERATING AS INTENDED. WILLIAMS HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (2845 E SAGINAW ST, LANSING, MI 48912 517-484-1341) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HESITATION WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*DT
THE VEHICLE DOOR LOCKS CEASE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY LEADING TO BOTH THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES FAILING TO UNLATCH THE DOOR. THIS CAUSES THE DOORS TO FAIL TO BE ABLE TO BE OPENED. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL IN AN ACCIDENT SITUATION. CURRENTLY BOTH THE LEFT REAR DOOR AND FRONT RIGHT DOOR LATCHES DO NOT WORK. I CANNOT OPEN EITHER OF THOSE TWO DOORS. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI DOOR LATCHES. A SAFETY RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.
REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR NOT OPENING WHEN YOU UNLOCK REMOTELY OR MANUALLY PROPERLY. SOMETIMES IT WILL OPEN BUT MOST TIMES IS WILL. IT COULD BE A DEATH TRAP IF SOMEONE IS STUCK ON THAT SIDE OF CAR.
MY DRIVER SIDE DOOR HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE FOR THE BUTTON BECOMING DEFECTIVE AND IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH OF IT BEING FIXED. MY BACK PASSENGER DOOR HAS ALSO STOPPED WORKING. EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNLOCKED, IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUT, AS ID IT IS STILL LOCKED.
COMING FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEEDS, I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. SOMETIMES IT ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD AT A HIGHER SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. OTHER 2016 TUCSONS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DATES AND TIMES, SO THE ISSUE IS ONGOING.
AS I WAS PULLING ONTO HIGHWAY FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR PAUSED AND REVVED ENGINE AND THEN KICKED INTO GEAR AND WENT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD, AS THERE WERE OTHER VEHICLE DRIVING TOWARDS ME, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FOR A FEW SECONDS.
IN MY CASE ALL THREE DOORS WERE LOCKED AND COULD NOT OPEN IN STATIONARY, IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, TURNING OR OFF. IT STARTED WITH DRIVER'S DOOR NOT OPENING FROM OUTSIDE 1ST AND WHEN I UNLOCKED USING MY CAR KEY IT WOULDN'T OPEN. I HAD TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO GET TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THEN BOTH BACK PASSENGER LEFT AND RIGHT DOORS WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THIS CREATED MAJOR CONCERN AND SAFETY ISSUE SINCE I COULDN'T HAVE ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK SINCE NO ONE COULD GET IN OR GET OUT. I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALERSHIP AND SINCE MY CAR HAD 62,000 MILES IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE HYUNDAI WARRANTY. THEY REPLACED THE DRIVER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FOR $392 IN 12/13/2019. ONE MONTH LATER IN 1/13/2020 I STARTED HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BACK RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR AND ONE WEEK LATER IN 1/18/20 I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH BACK LEFT PASSENGER DOOR. THIS TIME BOTH BACK DOORS WERE LOCKED FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE SO NO ONE WAS ABLE TO GET IN OR OUT. I TOOK MY CAR TO AAMCO AND THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE DOORS TRIM & SEALS TO GET DOORS OPEN AND REPLACED BOTH DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FOR $862.79. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED WITH MY OTHER CARS AND IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN WHEN YOU ARE LOCKED INSIDE THE CAR AND CAN'T GET OUT. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS NOT FUNCTIONING AND REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I'M HOPING NHTSA CAN ADDRESS THIS SAFETY CONCERN AND ASK HYUNDAI TO RECALL AND REPLACE THE PARTS. I KNOW SOON I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY TRUNK DOOR AND FRONT RIGHT DOOR. GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER. THE PARTS ARE POOR QUALITY AND NOT DESIGNED TO LAST AND THIS CREATES SAFETY CONCERN.
BACK DOORS WILL NO OPEN AFTER THEY ARE LOCKED EVEN WHEN UNLOCKED THEY WILL NOT OPEN IF KIDS IN BACK YOU CAN'T OPEN DOORS TO GET KIDS OUT OF CAR SEAT THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS CAR IT'S A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU NEEDED TO GET ACCESS TO THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR IT'S IMPOSSIBLE THIS IS A ONGOING ISSUE SOMETIMES THEY OPEN AND IT'S TIMES MAY GO DAYS BEFORE YOU CAN GET THEM TO OPEN
DRIVERS SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKED ELECTRONICALLY OR MANUALLY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR DOES NOT OPEN WHEN HANDLED IS PULLED - HAVE TO PULL IT MULTIPLE TIMES. REAR PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AT ALL FROM THE EXTERIOR OR THE INTERIOR.
MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO DCT HAS A DANGEROUS RANDOM "SHUDDER/HESITATION" SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED.*DT A "SHUDDER / HESITATION" RANDOMLY OCCURS AT SLOWER SPEEDS. I'VE BROUGHT UP MY CONCERN EACH TIME I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR REGULARLY SCHEDULED SERVICE. I HAVE ONLY 28000 MILES ON IT. THE MECHANICS REPORT THAT "IT DIDN'T OCCUR FOR THEM, OR SHOW-UP ON THEIR COMPUTER, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT". I'VE EXPLAINED EACH TIME THAT IT OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEED WHEN SLOWLY COMING TO A STOP, WHEN PARKING PULLING IN OR OUT OF A SPACE OR DRIVEWAY, AT STOP SIGNS EITHER SLOWLY STOPPING, OR PROCEEDING FORWARD AT A LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, AND SOMETIMES WHEN TRYING TO TURN INTO THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. I AM POSITIVE THAT HYUNDAI IS VERY AWARE OF WHAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE 2016 TUCSON ECO DCT. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI REFERRING TO A 'PROPOSED CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT', BUT IT WAS EXPIRED ALREADY ! I MENTIONED THERE WERE OVER 300 COMPLAINTS OF A SIMILAR "SHUDDER / HESITATION" ON ONE WEB SITE ALONE! THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT COULD RESULT IN A REAR END OR INTERSECTION COLLISION BECAUSE OF THE "SHUDDER / HESITATION" THAT OCCURS RANDOMLY. I HAVE PASSENGER WITNESSES AS WELL. THERE IS DEFINATELY A DANGEROUS SAFETY DEFECT CAUSING A "SHUDDER" IN THE 2016 TUCSON ECO DCT THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I WAS GIVEN A HYUNDAI COMPLAINT DEPT. NUMBER TO CALL, AND I REPORTED THE PROBLEM. THE CLAIM ADMINISTRATOR SEEMED QUITE AWARE OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. HE GAVE ME A CLAIM NUMBER, AND SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK MONDAY, TO 'SET UP ANOTHER SERVICE APPOINTMENT', AND "ARRANGE FOR A SPECIALIST" TO BE THERE. I RECEIVED A CALL ON WEDNESDAY, AND WAS NOW INFORMED "THERE WAS NOTHING MORE HE COULD DO", AND HE WAS "CLOSING OUT MY CASE NUMBER, AND SUGGESTED I JUST BRING IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN", AND RE-FILE A NEW CLAIM# !

HELLO, I BOUGHT A USED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO LESS THEN A MONTH AGO FROM AUTONATION THAT HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON FOR A P259F TROUBLE CODE FOR A TURBOCHARGER POSITION SENSOR THAT I HAD GOT FROM USING AUTONATION'S VEHICLE APP. NATURALLY , I CALLED AUTONATION TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BEFORE I BROUGHT MY IN VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I DID BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FROM MY TURBO, BUT THAT IT HAD GONE OFF AND THAT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, AND TO GO TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR A SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC IF THE ISSUE CONSISTED. ON THE SAME DAY OF GETTING MY CAR BACK, I STARTED NOTICING ENGINE PERFORMANCE ISSUES, MY ACCELERATION WOULD BE AFFECTED BY 1 TO 2 SECONDS WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO, AND WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY NOTICE THE THROTTLE IT WOULD JUMP KICK THE CAR. ALSO THE WORST OF ALL, IT ALSO CUT OUT AT ONE POINT WHERE IT DID NOT WANT TO GIVE ANY SORT OF THROTTLE AT ALL, I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO JUST GO 30 MPH. DURING THAT TIME I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BE REVVING HIGH WHILE NO SPEED WAS BEING GAINED, AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WHERE GOING OFF EITHER. BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN MAKING A TURN. WHAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THIS IS THE TURBO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, IS THAT THE WAY I GOT MY CAR TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY IS THAT I PARKED IT AND RESTARTED IT, AFTER THAT IT STARTED ACCELERATING NORMALLY, BUT AT TIMES THE ACCELERATION WOULD STILL BE AFFECTED.
I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2016 TUCSON. HERE ARE ALL THE SYMPTOMS AND ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE: DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DEC 2019 AND I HAD THE PART REPLACED. HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON 1-26-2020 AND THE NEXT WEEK ON 2-2-2020 THE ENGINE WAS TAPPING, CHECKED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BURN OIL. MECHANICS CHECKED CAR AGAIN AND NO LEAKS WAS DISCOVERED. AND STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS CAR IS BURNING OIL. MECHANIC IS RECOMMENDING A NEW ENGINE. ALSO, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ACCURATELY AND HESITATES AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT DOES CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS BUT THE PART CAN BE REPLACED. THE DRIVERS DOOR STICKS HAVE TO PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE 2-3 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR OPENS. MAJOR ENGINE ISSUES,
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I NOTICED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. I REMOVED KEYS FROM IGNITION AND RE-STARTED WITH SAME RESULTS. NOT SURE IF IT'S A MODULE OR A DEFECTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM.
PASSENGER BRAKE LIGH REPEATEDLY GOES OUT, HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE ARISING FROM SUBPAR PARTS WITH KNOWN QUALITY PROBLEMS. OCCURS RANDOMLY; STATIONARY, IN MOTION. VEHICLE PRIMARILY USED FOR CITY DRIVING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE CEASED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. TRIPLE -A WAS CONTACTED AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO (FREEHOLD HYUNDAI 4065 U.S. 9, FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07728 (732) 625-1200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.
IN SUMMER OF 2019 I NOTICED LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. A FEW MONTHS LATER, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR STARTED NOT OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS LATER, DRIVER WIDE WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND NOW A FEW SHORT WEEKS LATER THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TRIED OPERATING THE WINDOWS THAT AREN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ALSO WHILE MOVING. THE DOORS OBVIOUSLY HAVE ONLY BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE OPEN WHILE STATIONARY AND IN PARK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE? BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *LN CONSUMER STATED SHE NOW HAS 3 DOORS AND 2 WINDOWS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *JB
THIS ISSUE RECUR AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT MADE US GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP 3YRS AGO. HYUNDAI OF SEATTLE SHOULD HAVE A FULL RECORD OF THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY THEN, OUR CAR SHOWS SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP TO GO. DOES NOT PICK UP ACCELERATIONS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. ON INCLINED OR CLIMB, ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME AND SEEMS TO SHAKE A BIT THEN STEADY ITSELF AFTER 2 MINS AS YOU STEP IN THE GAS TO KEEP IT IN MOTION
THE TRANSMITTION FAIL AND DOING A HITS IN LOW VELOCITY OTHER STING IS WHEN I TAKE A UP HILLS AND STOP THE SUV, IT GO BACK QUICKLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THE SUV CAN,T HOLD IN STAND BY UNTIL STAR THE TRIP
I REPORTED TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER (FLEMINGTON NJ) OF CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAYS THE STEERING JOINT SHAFT IS LOOSE AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. PART NUMBER IS 56400-D3000. LOOKING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS. THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF HYUNDAI; IF THE SHAFT FAILS, DRIVER MAY LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS SERVICE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER 50,000 MILES. THANKS. MIKE
MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON STUMBLES A LOT UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STAND STILL. SOMETIMES WHILE MAKING A TURN. A FEW TIMES IT PUT MY DAUGHTER IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. HESITATING WHILE ACCELERATION THOUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE IN JULY 2019 THEN AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2019. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE AND STUMBLE UPON ACCELERATION. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD RESET THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR IN HOPES THAT IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THEN THE SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME IT MAY BE MY AIR FILTER AND OR MY FUEL INJECTORS NEED CLEANING. I DECLINED BOTH BECAUSE THE DEALER WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM JUST HAD THEM CLEANED AND AIR FILTER WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW. AFTER TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE HE FINALLY CONFESSED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT ONE OTHER HYUNDAI CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THE FIX. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON HYUNDAI TO COME UP WITH A FIX. IN THE MEAN TIME MY DAUGHTER, WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR, CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL HYUNDAI RECALLS THE CAR AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF.
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO DOOR OR VEHICLE, THIS STARTED RANDOMLY OVER AN YEAR AND FINALLY WON'T OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 1,000 MILES AND IT WILL COST OVER $500 TO BE FIXED. THEY RECOMMEND CUTTING THE DOOR HANDLE OFF TO GAIN ACCESS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOK INTO, THERE ARE MANY TUCSON OWNERS OF SEVERAL HYUNDAI FORUMS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. (UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS). HOPING TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU, (XXXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN. IT'S NOT LOCKED, AND I'VE PUT AS MUCH FORCE ON IT AS I THINK I CAN WITHOUT BREAKING THE HANDLE AND IT WON'T OPEN. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUCSON'S AND WITH HYUNDAI'S IN GENERAL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
P0455 CHECK ENGINE CODE
THIS EVENING ME AND MY FIANC WERE DRIVING 45MPH DOWN HILL ON A STRAIGHT ROAD TO GET CHRISTMAS GIFTS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE JUST DIED/STALLED (NO WARNING/DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION AND GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER, SO MY FIANC CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. THE CAR DOESN'T LEAK OIL AND WE DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY. WE CARRY EXTRA OIL IN CASE AN OIL WARNING LIGHT APPEARS SO WE ADDED OIL TO CORRECT FILL LEVEL. TO NO LUCK THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T TURN OVER. AS IT IS SATURDAY NIGHT AND TOMORROW BEING SUNDAY WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY MORNING TO GET THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER TO BE ASSESSED BY THEM. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR BURNS OIL OUT OF NO WHERE AND THAT THE CARS OIL WARNING/PRESSURE LIGHT IS MALFUNCTIONING/FAULTY. IN FINDING THAT I AM HOPING THE DEALER WILL HONOR MY WARRANTY AND REPLACE MY ENGINE.
THE DOORS AT TIMES WILL NOT OPEN, POWER WINDOWS WILL NOT GO DOWN. VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN DRIVING. WHEN UNLOCKING DOORS WITH REMOTE, DOORS LOCK BACK ON THEIR OWN.
CAR USUALLY BOGS DOWN WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. LIKE IT ISNT GETTING ANY FUEL. MY CAR IS A TURBO AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR TURBOS. BULL!
ON DEC 17, 2019 AT THE INTERSECTION OF PINEVILLE MATTHEWS RD AND 485 IN PINEVILLE N.C.AT APPROX 5:00 PM TURNING LFT ON TO 485 I WAS NEARLY T BONED AT THE INTERSECTION DUE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT DID.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.THE SUV NOW HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME. WERE THEY WILL NOT DOCUMENT WHAT I ASK THEM TO DOCUMENT AND ONLY RECORD AN EVASIVE STATEMENT OF DRIVING CONCERNS.AND TELL ME IN THE END WE DID RESET THE CONTROL MODULE BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE YOUR CONCERN. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS AT TIMES WHILE IN GEAR. DEALERSHIP KEFFER HYUNDAT MATTHEWS N.C.
THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. HOWEVER THE BULBS ARE STILL WORKING. WHEN I SWITCH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BETWEEN THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS ON THE LEFT SIDE. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT A PATTERN TO HOW LONG THEY WORK TO HOW LONG THEY DON'T WORK. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH SINCE 2 OUT OF 3 LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS WORKING. IT IS NOT A LIGHT BULB PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAILURE DID NOT FOLLOW THE BULB AFTER SWITCHING THEM.
MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOW, RUMBLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED. IT STARTED GETTING LOUDER AND AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT, I COULD SEE A FIRE HAD STARTED UNDER THE CAR AROUND THE ENGINE. MY CAR WAS QUICKLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AS I WAITED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I LOST ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS IN MY CAR
WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ONCE IT STARTS MOVING THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND SLIPS FROM 1 TO 2ND GEAR. SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER IT WILL STILL DO IT. THE CAR HAS 56K MILES ON IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE DOING IT MORE OFTEN NOW. I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER READING UP ON IT, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 1.6 TURBO TUCSON. ALSO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO STOP WORKING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST WORK AS IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AS WELL. I'M AFRAID WE'RE ARE GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS.
THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. ON 12/5/19, MECHANIC FOUND A DRY DIP STICK AND REMOVED LESS THAN 1 QUART OIL FROM THE ENGINE AND EXAMINED FOR LEAKS. OIL CHANGES ARE IN REGULAR 5,000-6,000 INTERVALS USING SYNTHETIC 5W30 OIL AND THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FOUND AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE ON 4/11/19. OIL WAS CHECKED ON 12/8/19 AND THE OIL BELOW IS ALREADY BELOW FULL.
THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE LAST OIL CHANGE AT 52,000 MILES HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE TECH SAID THERE WAS NO OIL. IT WAS JUST ABOUT 5,000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A FAR TOO COMMON PROBLEM.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DOES NOT ACCELERATE OR REVERSE DOES NOT ACCELERATE WHEN IN MOTION, DOES NOT REVERSE
THE POWER TAILGATE WILL OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN A GROCERY PARKING LOT. THE DATE REPORTED IS THE MOST RECENT OCCASION. IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES PREVIOUSLY. ONLY ONCE DID IT HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR WAS IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I DISABLED THE LIFTGATE/TAILGATE
FIRST MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR DOOR GOT TO STICKING AT 60, 500 MILE AND NOW MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR DOING THE SAME THING. MY TAILLIGHT SAYS IT'S NOT WORK AND IT BE WORKING AND VIS VERSUS, AS IF THERE'S A SHORTAGE. NOW THE STEEP HILL LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH THE CAR TRACTION LIGHT. IT'S DOING IT MORE NOW THAN EVER. HAVING TO RESTART MY VEHICLE EVERYTIME NOW TO RESET IT. IT DOING IT AT RED LIGHT AND WHILE I'M DRIVING ALL ON IT OWN. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS MY DOORS STICKING AND THE DEALERSHIP IN TUPELO MS TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND TO ME I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE THAT DEALING WITH MY SAFETY. THERE HAVE NOT BE ANY THING DONE TO EITHER DOOR FOR THE TO BE THAT WAY ON MY BEHALF.
RECENTLY BOUGHT 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED AND THE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR WITH SHAKE AS IT IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT AND THEN FINALLY KICK IN AND START MOVING FORWARD NORMALLY. I'VE TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING FORWARD. I DON'T FEEL SAFE PULLING OUT UNLESS I HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE OTHER CAR TO STOP JUST IN CASE THE CAR DOES STALL OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEAL THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE THIS. DEALERS SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T THROW UP A FLAG THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016. I HAVE CHANGE THE WINDOWS MECHANICAL 3 TIMES. ONCE THE CAR IS ON THE WINDOWS GETS DOWN AND WONT WORK UNTIL.YOU CHANGE THE PART THAT PUTS IT UP. THE WHITE ROUND PIECE IN THE MIDDLE GETS STRIPPED
EVERY DAY MY CAR STUTTERS AS I BEGIN MY DAY TO WORK. IT LAGS IN ACCELERATION AT LEAST ONE TO THREE TIMES A DAY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I ACCELERATE IN RUSH HOUR, TRYING TO GO AFTER A LIGHT TURNS GREEN, OR SPEEDING UP JUST IN GENERAL. I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR CONSTANTLY BECAUSE OF MY JOB AND I CAN RECALL TWO TIMES THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T DO AS I NEEDED IT TO. IT HAS FREAKED ME OUT AND I WONDER IF I'M GOING TO GET STUCK ONE DAY, IT SPUTTERS AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY RIDE HOME IS GUARANTEED. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TURBO THING, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH TURBO BUT NOW I'M REALIZING OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENS ON THE CITY STREET AND IT HAPPENS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND I'M SAD TO SAY I'VE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY MAKE AND MODEL THIS WHOLE TIME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, QUIVERED, AND SOMETIMES STALLED WHILE COMING OUT OF A TURN AND CHANGING LANES. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO MURDOCK HYUNDAI (4646 S. STATE ST, MURRAY, UT) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED; THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK BUT WHEN THE PASSENGERS TRIED TO LEAVE THROUGH THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. I TRIED OPENING THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE THINKING IT WAS CHILD LOCKS BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THAT WAY EITHER. BOTH HANDLES MOVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, AND I HAVE MADE SURE THE LOCK IS FULLY UNLOCKED. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS POWER LOCK ACTUATOR. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITHOUT SPECIFIC TOOLS. NOTHING HAS HIT THE DOOR INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
THE DOOR LATCHES RANDOMLY STOP WORKING AND PASSENGERS CANNOT ENTER OR EXIT VEHICLE. STARTED WITH MY REAR DOOR SO I HAD THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO THE FRONT DOORS. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE SAME YEAR AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH ALL THE DOORS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT THE WRONG TIME.
BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED/LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. ALSO, ON OCCASION, THE ENGINE AND RPMS WOULD REV VERY HIGH WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE, WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT WHILE PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTIGE HYUNDAI (768 E. CHESTER ST, KINGSTON, NY), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
I CANNOT ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS A HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATOR. SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS, SOMETIMES IT CHUGS FIRST THEN GOES. I HAVE TROUBLE MERGING AND GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS UNRELIABLE FROM A STATIONARY TO MOVEMENT.
NOT LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2016 TUCSON, PROBABLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING THE AC THE FIRST SUMMER I OWNED IT, I STARTED TO GET SOME MUSTY SMELLS COMING FROM THE VENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE EACH YEAR AND CHANGING THE CABIN AIR FILTER DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR 40 YEARS. THE SMELL SEEMS TO POP UP IN HUMID WEATHER WHEN USING THE AC. I WORRY THAT THE EVAPORATOR COIL MAY BE GROWING MOLD OR MICROBES.
EVEN AFTER REPROGRAMMING OF MY 2016 TUCSON DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), I STILL WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. TRANSMISSION IS STILL HERKY-JERKEY WHEN CREEPING ALONG IN TRAFFIC. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AT HIGHER SPEED (SAY MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 50-70 MPH) THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS, AND ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY WENT INTO A "NEUTRAL' STATE TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED FROM POWER TRANSFER FROM THE ENGINE. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN SAY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILURE TO OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. VEHICLE DIAGNOSED FAULTY DOOR ACTUATOR AND REPAIRED AT DEALER FOR 500.00. FOUR MONTHS LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM OUTSIDE SHOWING EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUS DOOR. VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD.
TRANS DOESN' WORK RIGHT IN FIRST GEAR DOES'T GO IN GEAR RIGHT A WAY I WILL GET REAR ENDED ONEDAY
THE CAR STALLED(DID NOT ACCELLERATE WHILE MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS . THIS REQUIRED ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO BRAKE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40MPH ON A STREET CIRCLING A MALL.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OWNING THIS CAR WHICH ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 13800 MILES ON IT I HAVE SINCE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I THEREFORE THINK THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DCT AND ENGINE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.
PASSENGER AIR BAG COMES ON AT TIMES. TRANSMISSION SOME TIMES WILL NOT MOVE THE CAR.
YOU RANDOMLY GET NO RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC..LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN FEEL TRANSMISSION GOING INTO GEAR AS IT FINALLY CATCHES. WHEN IN SLOW, CRAWLING FREEWAY TRAFFIC, IT'S ALWAYS JERKING WHEN BARELY MOVING- AS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE IT ENOUGH GAS...FIRST TIME ISSUES HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A 50MPH HIGHWAY AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. THIS IS NOT A SOUND VEHICLE IN MY OPINION. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE TURNS INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST LEAVING A PARKING SPOT..YOU GET THE HERKY-JERKY UNTIL TRANSMISSION CATCHES. AND IT'S NOT ALL THE TIME, VERY RANDOM. FREEWAY DRIVING IS FINE SO FAR, WHICH IS WHAT MOST OF MY COMMUTE IS. BUT UNTIL REACHING FREEWAY SPEEDS, IT'S ALWAYS A WORRISOME DRIVE.
THERE IS AN ACCELERATION RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2016 TUCSON'S MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THERE BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEMS THAT THEY'RE RECALLING THE CAR FOR I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS FINE BUT IT ISN'T. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES I'VE HAD MY CAR MAKE THIS GRINDING SOUND WHEN I APPLY THE GAS FROM A STOP AND MY CAR IS SITTING THERE. OTHERS THAT HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME HAVE WITNESS THIS HAPPENED BUT THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS FROM A STOP EXAMPLE IF I'M AT A STOPLIGHT APPLY THE BRAKES TO GO AND THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING SOUND OR SOMETIMES WHEN I'M GOING AROUND A CORNER AFTER A STOP IT WILL HESITATE AND I'LL BE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION
CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDDLE.I HAVE TO WAIT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE CAR WILL GO WHEN I HIT GAS.NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. ONLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP OR GOING SLOW.THE HYUNDAI DEALER SAID THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2019 TUCSON.I AM SURE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED.I KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
MY VEHICLE STALLS TO ACCELERATE.WHEN I HIT THE GAS IT WILL STALL TO MOVE, IT'S DRAGGING VERY SLOW. THIS IS VERY SCARY WHEN I'M DRIVING AND MY SUV SLOWS DOWN WHEN OTHER CARS ARE DRIVING FAST BEHIND ME.
I'VE NOTICED A LAG IN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL MANY TIMES, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC INSTANCES WHERE IT'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT. I WAS PULLING ACROSS TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP, AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ENGINE STALLED AND TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CATCH. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT THAT IS ON A HILL, I OFTEN GET STUCK FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT CATCHES.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHEN UNLOCKED WITH EITHER OUTSIDE HANDLE NOR INSIDE HANDLE WITHOUT JARRING DOOR. SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET CHILDREN OUT OF CARSEAT
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM AN IDLE POSITION, CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN MAKING A TURN, USUALLY LEFT TURN, VEHICLE STALLS AND STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS.
THE RIGHT PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT SAYS IT IS OUT. WITHIN SAME DAY OR SOON AFTER WILL BE WORKING AGAIN. I REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB IT STOPS WORKING THE SAME DAY OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. SOUNDS LIKE A WIRE ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. IT WILL BE WORKING THE WHOLE DAY AND SUDDENLY WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE IT GOES OUT.
I WAS DRIVING IN ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AT ABOUT 30 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.ON 9/10/19 I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA AND MADE LEFT TURN AND CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN.I WAS ABLE TO RESTART CAR WITH NO PROBLEM.THERE WERE NO TURNS INVOLVED IN THE FIRST INCIDENT.
POWER DOOR LOCKS/DOOR ACTUATORS STOP WORKING WHICH PREVENTS DOOR FROM OPENING FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ON BOTH REAR DOORS AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. DOORS WOULD REMAIN LOCKED AFTER DRIVING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE FOR ANY PASSENGERS.
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH BREAKS. IT DOESN'T FULLY STOPPED THE CAR WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE PADS. I HAVE TO PRESS TWICE DOWN FOR THE CAR TO STOP. DRIVER WINDOWS POWER WINDOWS SOMETIMES WHEN I AM TRYING TO CLOSE THE WINDOWS IT ACTUALLY GOES DOWN.
HORRIBLE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION!!! AFRAID OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. ALSO, LAST EVENING I WAS STUCK IN CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC AND MY TRANSMISSION STARTED OVERHEATING!!! A FEW MINUTES LATER THE CAR STOPPED!! I WAS ON A MAJOR ROAD AND NOW CAUSED MORE OF A TRAFFIC JAM. HAD TO SIT THERE FOR 10MINUTES TILL IT COOLED ENOUGH AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF.
MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN I HIT THE GAS. HAS TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS.
VEHICLE DELAY TO ACCELERATE. RPMS GO UP TO 5000 BEFORE ACCELERATION KICKS IN. ALSO LAG TIME FROM STOP TO 20 MILES PER HOUR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. ALSO WITH ACCELERATING ON A HILL IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS BEFORE GOING FORWARD CAPTURING GAS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TURBO WAS REPLACED I'M STILL WAITING FOR A FULL REPORT
WHEN IN DRIVING MODE CAR IS SHAKING, VERY OFTEN CAR WOULD STOPPED WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I AM DRIVING 15 MPH AND WANT TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN I PRESS ACCELERATE PEDAL CAR WOULDN'T REACT. REACTION IS LATE 3,4 SECONDS UNTIL CAR STARTS MOVING.I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE FIRST DAY WE BOUGHT THE CAR..OUR DEALER HYUNDAI GROSINGER DIDN'T WANT TO CHECK IF EVERYTHING WAS OK WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE
ON OR ABOUT 8/17/2019, THE DATE AND TIME DISAPPEARED FROM THE DISPLAY. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT IS A HYUNDAI SATELLITE COMMUNICATION ERROR AFFECTING 100 OF THOUSANDS VEHICLES. NUMEROUS CONTACTS VIA TWITTER, FACEBOOK AND MYHYUNDAI WEBSITE HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONDED TOO. TELEPHONE CALLS TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER AWARENESS JUST REPEAT THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE NOT HAVING ACCESS TO THE TIME REQUIRES CHECKING CELL PHONE WHICH IN WASHINGTON STATE IS CONSIDERED DISTRACTED DRIVING AND IS ILLEGAL. SINCE USING VEHICLE FOR WORK, KNOWING THE TIME NUMEROUS TIMES DURING VARIOUS TRIPS AS WELL KIDS CONTINUALLY CHECKING THE TIME ON CELL PHONES A SAFETY ISSUE HAS DEVELOPED AND HYUNDAI IS IGNORING NOT ONLY THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR OWNERS. NOT HAVING A WORKING CLOCK MAY SEEM TRIVIAL, BUT HAVING TO PICK UP A CELL PHONE TO CHECK THE CURRENT TIME IS DANGEROUS AND WOULD BE UNNECESSARY IF HYUNDAI FIXED A FEATURE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE, FROM A STOP, TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME JUST LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TUCSON. HYUNDAI TOO KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS ALSO BEEN LAW SUITS FOR THE LEMON LAW AGAINST THIS VEHICLE BUT, THE DEEP POCKETS OF HYUNDAI'S CORPORATE LAWYERS ALWAYS WINS OUT. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED OR PERHAPS DEAD BEFORE A RECALL HAPPENS? THE DATE BELOW REFLECTS THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE AND THEN STOPPED.
I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW. I'VE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS. I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES IT. I NOTICED THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES REQUIRES NUMEROUS PULLS, BEFORE THE DOOR WILL OPEN. DEALER SAID ACTUATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. HOW DOES A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONE DRIVER AND HARDLY ANY PASSENGERS DOOR ACTUATOR JUST BREAK? THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON.
CAR CONSISTENTLY HAS TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP; LURCHES FORWARD AND SPUTTERS. WHEN IN REVERSE, CANNOT ACCELERATE TO MOVE VEHICLE. WHEN TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 85 DEGREES OUTSIDE, CAR WILL NOT TURN ON.
THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHEN SITTING IDLE AND ABOUT TO ACCELERATE TO TURN INTO TRAFFIC, MY CAR HAS STALLED, SHOOK AND ALMOST STOPPED. IN ONE INSTANCE MY CAR WAS IN PARK WHEN I STOPPED TO TAKE SOMETHING OUT OF MY VEHICLE. UPON PUTTING IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE REVVED AND BUT DID NOT MOVE THE VEHICLE. TWO TIMES ALMOST RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE!! THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED THIS WEEK, DATING 8/17/12019 - 8/19/2019 AT APPROX 23,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. ONCE IN OUR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, ONCE ON A VERY BUSY 4 LANE HIGHWAY.
EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING AN UNPTOTECTED LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WON'T PICK UP AND GO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENT BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM.
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPMS GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T MOVE. IT HAS HAPPENED FROM A DEAD STOP, AND ALSO WHEN ACCELERATING WHEN ALREADY MOVING, BOTH AT LOW RATES OF SPEED AND ON THE INTERSTATE.
BOTH REAR DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES STOPPED WORKING WITHIN 1 WEEK OF EACH OTHER. DOORS APPEAR TO LOCK AND UNLOCK, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE REGARDLESS OF UNLOCKED POSITION. READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND CLIENTS IN MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH AN ISSUE HAD THERE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AND A CHILD WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO CALL AROUND TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS IN ORDER TO HAVE MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED SINCE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS A MONTH OUT. I CALLED AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO CORPORATE HYUNDAI AND IT WAS DISMISSED WITHOUT MUCH CONCERN. AFTER PAYING FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AT HYUNDAI'S LACK OF CONCERN OVER SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. MILEAGE 66,000. VEHICLE REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP.
MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE WHEN SHE STEPS ON THE GAS IT DOES NOT WANNA GO. I'M AFRAID SHE IS GONNA HER IN AN ACCIDENT WITH HER VEHICLE NOT WANT TO MOVE WHEN IT IS STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION. I REALLY FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT IT AND CHECK IT AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT AND JUST DOES NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. THANK YOU THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE DRIVES HER CAR
WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 40 MPH THE RPM REVVED UP TO 5 RPM AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN EVEN WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. I ALSO HAVE CONSTANT HESITATION WITH THE ENGINE WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT IN TOWN AND THEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR JERKS AND THEIR IS DELAY TO GO WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE CAR WILL AT TIMES NOT GO INTO REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO COMPLETELY PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN RESTART THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE BEFORE I CAN BACK IT OUT SUCCESSFULLY.
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE IS NOT RESPONSIVE YET THE RPMS INCREASE THEN MAKING IT JUMP AND SHUDDER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL YOUR SPEED WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE AT SLOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERS AND BUCKS. THIS OCCURS IN ANY SITUATION WHERE THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED; AT STOP SIGNS, STOPLIGHTS, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE TURNING, ETC..I HAVE HAD THIS 2016 VEHICLE FOR ONE WEEK AND THE DID CHECK SAFETY RECALLS FOR THE VIN. THERE WERE NO UNRESOLVED RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, I SEE THAT A RECALL CONCERNING THIS ISSUE WAS ISSUED FOR MY SAME YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR REPORTS.
HESITATION UP ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND ROUGH IDLE WHEN COMING TO A STOP.
PURCHASED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO FROM A USED CAR DEALER. CARFAX REPORTED NO OPEN RECALLS. CONCERNED WITH HESITATION WHEN PRESSING GAS WHEN IN A STOPPED POSITION TO MOVING AT STOP SIGN OR STOPLIGHT . RECALL 149, BUT THIS VIN IS NOT SHOWING A RECALL.
THE CAR WHEN AT A STOP, YOU GO TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO TAKE OFF AND THERE IS A DELAY IN THE CAR ACTUALLY ACKNOWLEDGING AND TAKING OFF TO ACCELERATE. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES PERIODICALLY AND IT IS NOW BECOMING MORE FREQUENT
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
AT CERTAIN INSTANCES, THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR AND VEHICLE IS NOT BUDGING MAKING ME WORRY THAT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME WILL HIT ME. IF IT MOVES AT ALL, THERE IS A DRAG, THEN IT WILL SUDDENLY LUNGES FORWARD WHERE I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ON JUNE 20,2019 AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. RI STATE POLICE PUSHED VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER IN RI. AS OF TODAY, JULY 23,2019, THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. ENGINE IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PEACOCK HYUNDAI HILTON HEAD (LOCATED AT 51 AUTO MALL BLVD, SUITE A, HARDEEVILLE, SC 29927, (843) 208-1234) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 15950425. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.
WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON BREAK AND IT SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON GO DURING DRIVING
IN AUGUST 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED. SINCE DAY ONE, WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER UNTIL NEAR STALL. THE SHUDDERING OCCURS WHEN EITHER ROLLING FORWARD, ACCELERATING THE GAS, OR SITTING IDLE, AS A RESULT MY CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AT ALL TIMES. DURING MY FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS, MY WIFE'S IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND SHE IS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR THAT SHE WILL BE INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS EXCEPT THAT THE CAR CHECKS OUT FINE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DO, HOWEVER, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS NO MATTER WHAT DRIVE MODE I AM IN. I HAVE TRIED TURNING OFF THE AC BUT THAT HAS NO AFFECT. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE, WHILE MOVING FROM STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR STUMBLED AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION AND WE NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. WE HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION FOR THE GRANDKIDS AND WE CANNOT DRIVE THE 10 YEAR OLD IN THIS CAR, SHE GETS CAR SICK FROM THE SHUDDERING/HESITATION. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE TO SUBSTITUTE ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DAYS WE DRIVE HER.
LIGHTS OF STOP DO NOT HAVE NORMAL FUNCTION. SOMETIMES, TURN ON AND MOST OF TIME, NOT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY OPEN WHEN PULLING THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS PRESENT ON ALL FOUR DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WINNER AUTO GROUP (591 S. DUPONT HWY, DOVER, DE) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INDOOR LOCKING MECHANISM WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000. *BF *TR
RIGHT DOOR ARE NOT WORKING FROM IN OR OUT SIDE FRONT AND BACK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE IF THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ACTIVATED. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ONLY WORKED WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. IN ADDITION, "BRAKE LIGHT OUT" APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.
SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, I'VE EXPERIENCED CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE BUCKING WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THE CAR HESITATES TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND MAKES A WINDING NOISE WHEN IT FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN THE DRIVE-THRU LANE AT MCDONALD'S AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE CAR TO COOL DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN A PARKING MALL STRUCTURE WITH AN INCLINED ROAD, THERE SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED, I HAD TO PULL OVER IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION PUTTING FAMILY AND ME IN DANGER BY VEHICLES PASSING BY IN A VERY NARROW LANE AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF AGAIN. LAST WEEK WHILE AT A SHOPPING CENTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT JOLTED FORWARD ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES (SERVICE RECORDS ARE ATTACHED). THE LAST DIAGNOSIS THERE WAS AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY EVENTUALLY ENDED UP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE VEHICLE AS I REFUSE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR. I REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS, BUT NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN REACHED. PLEASE PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT IN GETTING THIS MATTER RESOLVED.
THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS OF MY VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN PROPERLY. THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE ONLY OPENS FROM THE INSIDE ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MOTION. THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AT ALL.
VEHICLE HAS THE 1.6 LITER TURBO ENGINE W/ DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AND THEN TAKES OFF. TRIED BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE ON GAS PEDAL BUT STILL HESITATES, THEN IT REALLY SHOOTS OFF. VEHICLE HAS 3 MODES OF DRIVING- NORMAL, ECO, SPORT. TRIED ALL 3 AND PROBLEM REMAINS. ALTHOUGH I CAN'T DUPLICATE/CONFIRM RESULTS IT SEEMS TO OPERATE [SLIGHTLY] BETTER IN LOWER TEMPS (50-70F DEGREES) VS HOT TEMPS (85-95F). DISCONCERTING OR DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
ENGINE FAILER,HYUNDIA WANTS ENGINE RETURNED NOT ALLOWING DEALER TO DISASEMBLE ENGINE IN ORDER TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE.CAR REVS UP WHEN ECLERATING FAST IN TRAFFIC EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CAR WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR.
WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A ROAD FROM A STOP SIGN, MY CAR WILL BARELY ACCELERATE, AND THE RPMS WILL RACE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHES INTO GEAR AND FINALLY MOVES. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS (THANKFULLY, NO ACCIDENTS YET). THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT ENOUGH TO BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH NEW DRIVERS IN MY HOUSE. I TALKED TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH THING -- EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN AND THEY COULD TRY TO DUPLICATE IT, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT, THEY DOUBTED THEY WOULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ALSO, WHEN CREEPING ALONG IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUDDERS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. IN EITHER SCENARIO, IT'S EMBARRASSING TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR.
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!!
DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, MY VEHICLE SHAKES AND STALLS WHEN TRYING TO PUSH ON THE GAS AND ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE LOSES POWER AND I'M STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR WHILE MY WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES AND MAYBE GOES FORWARD ABOUT TWO FEET OVER 20 SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL ACTUALLY START MOVING LIKE IT SHOULD, OFTEN TIMES LEAVING ME IN AN UNSAFE POSITION IF THIS HAPPENS WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AND GAGING WHEN I CAN SAFELY PROCEED THROUGH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
IT SHOCKS ME THE FATALITY RATE WITH THESE VEHICLES ISN'T THROUGH THE ROOF, I'VE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE SHOP 4 TIMES ALREADY AND HAVEN'T HAD IT 6 MONTHS YET, THE COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER WHEN YOU ACCELERATE IS DANGEROUS & I'M SURPRISED ACCIDENTS WHILE PULLING OUT INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC ISN'T EXTREMELY HIGH, BECAUSE THE LACK OF POWER,PULL, HESITATION & AT TIMES NEARLY CUTTING OFF IS GONNA GET SOMEONE HIT BY A SEMI AND THE ONLY THING EITHER OF THE HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAY IS "IT'S JUST THE DOUBLE CLUTCH 7 GEAR TRANSMISSION AND THAT'S NORMAL, WELL IF THE TRANSMISSION SKIPPING AND CAUSING STUDDERING HESITATION AND LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION WHEN TAKING OFF IS NORMAL THEN I DON'T KNOW HOW HYUNDAI IS STILL IN BUSINESS, IT'S AWFUL AND IT'S DANGEROUS. AND OMG IS IT EMBARRASSING PULLING THROUGH AND DRIVE THROUGH OR EASING UP TO A LIGHT OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE IT SPITS AND SPUTTERS AND JUMPS SO BADLY AND NEARLY CUTS OFF, BUT I'M TOLD BY GUYS IN THE SERVICE DEPT IT'S NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION THAT'S IN IT!! W$#T+$7F?#$@
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.
FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN AND WON'T GO UP. WINDOW MOTOR IS WORKING BUT WINDOW WON'T GO UP.
CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY. WHEN TURNING FROM A STOP, CAR HESITATES. WHEN MERGING WITH TRAFFIC, CAR HESITATES. CAR ACCELERATES TOO FAST FROM A STOP WHEN TEMPERATURE IS OVER 85 F. TRANSMISSION IS TOO INCONSISTENT. MAKES DRIVING THIS CAR A GAMBLE WITH YOUR LIFE. AFTER SEVERAL REPAIRS BY DEALER TO FIX PROBLEMS, THEY NOW SAY THIS TRANSMISSION IS A HYBRID. IT WORKS MORE LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT WAS SOLD AS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DEALER SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN CORRECT PROBLEM. THE REPAIRS THEY HAVE MADE ARE; RECALL UPDATE DCT CONTROL LOGIC, REPLACE TEMP. SENSOR AND ECU UPDATE DCT; SEAL VACUUM PUMP UPDATE TCU (RESET).
3 OF THE 4 WINDOWS WON'T GO UP OR DOWN.
I PURCHASED MY 2016 TUCSON NEW IN MARCH 2016 IT CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 58,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR BUCKS AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL, MORE THAN IT USED TO SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THAT I COULD DEAL WITH HOWEVER, IT ALSO BECAME UNRELIABLE WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN ETC. I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD I HAVE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE END OF MARCH. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO KEY HYUNDAI THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO DUPLICATE WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS I GOT A CALL AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THEY CHECKED FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES FOUND NONE SO TO "KEEP ME HAPPY" THEY DID A DUAL CLUTCH RELEARN. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND REALLY NOTICED VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE. THEN WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT STARTED REPEATING THE HARD BUCKING AND AGAIN THERE WERE A FEW TIMES THAT AFTER I STOPPED TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC OR A GREEN LIGHT I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS AND GO NOWHERE NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO HYUNDAI ON MAY 6, 2019 AND FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM DUE TO PICK UP MY CAR FROM THEM TOMORROW AND THEY WILL HAVE DONE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT PRIOR TO THIS, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND WHAT I AM DESCRIBING AND THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN THEY CALLED HYUNDAI THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY MUST DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR NO REPAIR. THAT NOW LEAVES MY SAFETY IN QUESTION WHEN DRIVING MY CAR.
THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE AFTER YOU LOCK THE DOORS. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE ANYWHERE FROM 5-10 TIMES TO GET TO OPEN OR NOT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY PASSAGER IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK OR CAUGHT ON FIRE . THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP KWON ABOUT THE ISSUE.
PURCHASED A 2016 TUSCON WITH 35 MILES ON IT ON MAY 2016. WITHIN 3 MONTHS MY PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AFTER BEING UNLOCKED. THIS WAS CORRECTED AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, BOTH OF MY REAR DOORS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, THE PASSENGER SIDE BUZZES WHEN THE LOCK , THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR (WHICH IS THE BIG ISSUE) HAS TOTALLY QUIT OPENING, IT UNLOCKS BUT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. WHEN I TOLD THE SERVICE MAN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, HE SAID "THAT THEY SEE A LOT OF TUSCONS WITH DOOR ISSUES" AND THAT IT WILL NOT BE CHEAP. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THE DOORS JUST STOP WORKING AND THAT IT IS DUE TO BAD WORKMANSHIP ON HYUNDAI PART. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AND THERE WAS A ISSUE THAT PASSENGERS NEEDED TO GET OUT IN A HURRY THEY COULD NOT.
WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM GEAR 2 TO 1.THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THE CITY STREET OR WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED WRECKS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MACHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THIS AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT IN FEAR OF A CRASH UNTIL FIND OUT IF THIS IS THE SAME RECALL FROM OTHER 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TRANSMISSION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAYBE. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.
MY 2016 TUCSON HAS 58500 MILES ON IT. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR BUCKS AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL, THAT I COULD DEAL WITH HOWEVER, IT ALSO BECAME UNRELIABLE WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGH ETC. I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD I HAVE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE END OF MARCH. I CAN TELL YOU I NARROWLY AVOIDED BEING HIT AT LEAST 3 TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO MY HYUNDAI DEALER AND THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO DUPLICATE WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS I GOT A CALL AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THEY CHECKED FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES FOUND NONE SO TO "KEEP ME HAPPY" THEY DID A DUAL CLUTCH RELEARN. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND REALLY NOTICED VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE THEN WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT STARTED REPEATING THE BUCKING AND NOT MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO HYUNDAI AND FOR THE LAST 2 DAYS THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I AM DUE TO PICK UP MY CAR FROM THEM TOMORROW AND THEY WILL HAVE DONE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT PRIOR TO THIS, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND WHAT I AM DESCRIBING. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR ESPECIALLY WITH MY 8-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON WITH ME (I DRIVE HIM EVERY DAY TO SPECIALISTS).
LATCHING/LOCKING SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK ON THE PASSENGER FRONT, AND BOTH REAR DOORS. UNABLE TO OPEN THE BACK DOORS FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR WILL OPEN FROM THE INSIDE BUT MUST BE PULLED 3 TIMES TO OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. ONCE THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED INITIALLY IT WILL CLOSE AND OPEN WITHOUT PROBLEM. AFTER THE LOCK HAS BEEN ENGAGED AND UNLOCKED AGAIN, THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT MUST BE PULLED 3 TIMES IN ORDER TO OPEN.
I HAD BEEN A PROBLEM WITH MY TWO BACK DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WITH MY CAR. I CANNO OPEN MY CAR FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.
THE CAR JUMPS WHEN MOVING OFF FROM A STOP. IN SOME CASES THE CAR STOPS MOVING AHEAD AND IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT IN GEAR. THE CAR THEN TRANSMISSION REENGAGES AND THE CAR ACCELERATES HOPPING SOME TIMES. WHEN YOU STOP AGAIN THIS HAPPENS AGAIN BUT AT THE NEXT STOP IT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN.
I GO TO START MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT IS MAKING A LOUD TAPPING NOISE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. BUT AS IT WARMED UP IT WENT AWAY SO I CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO WORK IT WAS FINE ALL DAY BUT I FIGURED I WOULD LET THE DEALERSHIP TAKE A LOOK AT IT SINCE IT'S WASNT A PLEASANT NOISE. I DROP THE VEHICLE OFF AND THEY SAID THE OIL IS EXTREMELY LOW (I'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH) I HAD BOUGHT IT FROM A DEALERSHIP SO I ASSUMES ALL THE FLUIDS WOULD BE FINE UNTIL I NEEDED AN OIL CHANGE. WELL THEY CONTINUED WITH THE OIL CHANGE AND FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN THEY THEN DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND FOUND METAL CHUNKS. THEY TOLD ME THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I THEN ASKED AROUND ABOUT WHY A VEHICLE THIS NEW WOULD NEED THE ENGINE REPLACED AND THEY SAID THAT HYUNDAI HAS A RECALL OUT FOR THOSE ENGINES THAT THEY TEND TO FAIL BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANYWHERE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST INCONVENIENT PROCESS THE DEALERSHIP HAS HAD MY CAR FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND DO NOT EVEN HAVE A ETA FOR WHEN THE ENGINE WILL COME IN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LITHIA HYUNDAI OF FRESNO (LOCATED AT 5590 N BLACKSTONE AVE, FRESNO, CA 93710, (559) 899-3257) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO THE ECOSHIFT DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
BACK DRIVER PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT OPENING FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT'S UNLOCKED AND DON'T SEEM TO HAVE ISSUES WITH THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON. ALL OTHER DOORS WORK. I JUST USED THE DOOR EARLIER TODAY WITH NO ISSUES AND NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL THIS EVENING. NO VISUAL OBJECTS TO BE BLOCKING THE DOOR. WENT ONLINE TO CHECK FOR RECALL AND SEEMS MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING SAME ISSUES.
MY VEHICLE SOMETIMES SEEMS TO NOT WON'T TO GO WHEN TAKING OFF.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2016. UNTIL NOW, THE ONLY ISSUE HAS BEEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. NOW, THE DOORS ARE NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. IN MARCH 2019, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT WOULD UNLOCK/LOCK, BUT THE OUTSIDE HANDLE WOULD NOT OPERATE AND OPEN THE DOOR THE INSIDE HANDLE DID OPERATE. HYUNDAI REPAIRED/REPLACED THE PART UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR $50. IN APRIL 2019, THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR FAILED. THIS TIME IT WOULD NOT OPERATE FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE DEALER TRIED TO MAKE ME WAIT WKS FROM AN APPT, BUT THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE WITH PASSENGERS/CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. WHAT IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT? I INQUIRED ABOUT RECALLS, ESPECIALLY WITH PASSENGERS NOT BEING ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, BUT WAS SHUT DOWN BY THE MECHANIC. A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH SUGGESTS I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE.
ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO WARNING STARTED KNOCKING STALLED OUT
SEVERE HESITATION ON ACCELERATION. JERKY MOTION WHEN SLOW ROLLING. CANNOT BACK UP STEEP HILLS.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO VEHICLE ENGINE FAILURE. *AS *TR
'TAKATA RECALL' BOTH BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE NOR BE OUTSIDE. INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WPULD NOT OPEN EITHER. WHEN I I HIT THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND ON MY KEY FOB THE LOCKS MOVE, THEREFORE IT IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY THE 'CLIP' FALLS OF INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL THEREFORE THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IF MY CAR WERE TO CATCH ON FIRE OR WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD A PASSENGERS IN THE BACKSEAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! NOR AM I ABLE TO GET MY CHILD IN AND OUT OF THE BACKSEAT WITH THE CAR SEAT.
RECENTLY, WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE REAR DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM ON OUR DAUGHTER'S 2016 TUCSON. THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED, DESPITE THE CHILD LOCKS BEING DISABLED, THE AUTO AND MANUAL LOCKS BEING UNLOCKED, OR THE MANUAL HANDLES BEING USED FROM INSIDE OR OUT. THE IS A MOST UNSAFE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. WE HAVE SCHEDULED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER (TAMERON HYUNDAI, HOOVER) AT OUR EXPENSE.
MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2016, SHORTLY AFTER I LEASED IT, FOR A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO MY RECALL APPOINTMENT, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT FINALLY DID, IT SURGED FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION. WHILE VERY SCARY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE RECALL ISSUE WAS "ADDRESSED" BY THE DEALER. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE CAR AGAIN HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT BACKED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS. NOT ONLY DID THE CAR FAIL TO ACCELERATE FORWARD BUT THE BRAKE WAS STUCK. WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR, IT REVERSED UNTIL IT HIT A DUMPSTER, BUSTING MY TAIL LIGHT AND PUTTING A DENT IN MY TRUNK. AGAIN, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVE HAD THE ISSUE THAT I AM DESCRIBING. THERE HAVE BEEN SUITS UNDER THE LEMON LAW. MOREOVER, THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL. IT TOOK MULTIPLE CALLS TO GET A NATIONAL CASEWORKER ASSIGNED. WHEN I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL, INWAS TOLD TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. MY CAR HAS BEEN WITH THE DEALER FOR 5 DAYS WITH NO ANSWERS AND AND NO LOANER VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO WRITE TO YOU TO TAKE ACTION. SAFETY SHOULD BE PARAMOUNT TO ANY CAR MANUFACTURER. IGNORING THE WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THIS CAR'S SAFETY ISSUES, CANNOT BE TOLERATED. FAILURE TO ACT, AND WORSE, ATTEMPTS TO SOMEHOW PLACE ONUS ON THE LESSEE IS AN ETHICAL ISSUE AND AN ATTEMPT FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO SAVE FACE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. ANY ATTEMPT TO PUT ME BACK IN A FAULTY VEHICLE TO COLLECT MY LAST 4 MONTHLY PAYMENTS IS A DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF A LACK OF CONCERN FOR DRIVER'S SAFETY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AFTER DUSK, THERE WAS REDUCED VISIBILITY FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLAMP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO DARK SPOTS ON THE HEADLAMP. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITH THE REFRACTIVE LENS IN THE HEADLAMP ALONG WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE HEADLAMP. THE CONTACT WAS UNSURE IF THE HEADLAMP WAS PLACED IMPROPERLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLAMP WAS A REPLACEMENT AFTER A CRASH INVOLVING A DEER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR FACILITY. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000.* CONSUMER STATED DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT FAILED.*JB
I PURCHASED THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON IN OCTOBER 2015. THE FOLLOWING YEAR I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M STOPPED AND GO TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT TAKES OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS. NOW LATELY, I HAVE BEEN GETTING 'CHECK BSD SYSTEM' WARNINGS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ONE DAY AND THEN INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE. NOW MY CAR WILL GIVE THAT WARNING, ACTS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF, AND WONT GO ANYWHERE AND I'LL HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR. OR SOMETIMES IT WILL BE IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND THAT WARNING WILL POP UP AND IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO 0. AFTER THIS HAPPENS THERE ARE 5-6 WARNING LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP ON THE DASH BOARD, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAS PROGRESSED OVER THE LAST 3 DAYS, ULTIMATELY MAKING MY CAR NOT DRIVABLE. I AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I'VE BEEN IN 'DRIVE' AND EITHER STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR EVENING IN MOTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED AND MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A BARRIER. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HERITAGE HYUNDAI TOWSON (801 YORK RD, TOWSON, MD 21204, (877) 387-5495) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,738.
VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE PAST 30 MPH AFTER BEING STOPPED. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR ACTUALLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE FURTHER. I SEE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT SUPPOSEDLY MY VEHICLE (WHICH I RECENTLY PURCHASED USED) WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (MY VIN) ALTHOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE MAY 20, 2015 TO MAY 31, 2016 TIME PERIOD FOR RECALL 16V628000.
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.
ABOUT FOUR MONTHS AFTER WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE, IT BEGAN RATTLING WHEN WE WOULD SLOW DOWN TO PARK OR MAKE TURNS. THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN IS LIKE WHEN A MANUAL TRANSITION IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF BECAUSE ITS NOT GOING IN TO THE CORRECT GEAR. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US THAT BECAUSE OF THE DUAL TRANSMISSION, THIS WAS EXPECTED. THEY SAID THAT PUTTING IN ECO OR SPORT MODE THE ISSUE WOULD BE LESS NOTICEABLE. THEY EVEN SHOWED US A VIDEO ABOUT THE DUAL TRANSMISSION THINKING THAT THIS WOULD HELP FIX OUR CAR. WE HAVE RETURNED AT LEAST THREE MORE TIMES WE THE SAME CONCERN AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR SINCE THE COMPUTER DETERMINED NOTHING WAS WRONG. THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE IS THAT THE RATTLING HAS BECOME WORSE AND MORE CONSISTENT AND THAT THE CAR MAY STOP ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN IM MAKING A TURN OR I CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
VEHICLE WAS IN DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION MULTIPLE TIMES THEN LAST WEEK A FUEL PUMP NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO THE FACT VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AS I WAS DRIVING IT AND PULLING UP T =O MY HOME
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHUDDERED UNCONTROLLABLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEYES MISSION HILLS HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 10240 SEPULVEDA BLVD, MISSION HILLS, CA 91345, (818) 924-4654) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL AND/OR DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,500.
MY CAR STALLS AT INTERSECTIONS AND WILL NOT TAKE OFF QUICK ENOUGH TO GET ME OUT OF PEOPLES WAY AND FROM EVERYTHING I AM READING IT IS DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH IN MY ECO. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS YET BUT GETTING REALLY WORRIED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF OTHERS INCLUDING SOMEONE WHO MIGHT HIT ME AS I AM MAKING A TURN WHEN CAR WILL NOT MOVE AHEAD QUICKLY ENOUGH.
WHEN COLD, CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WELL ENOUGH TO SAFELY ENTER TRAFFIC. RESPONSE IMPROVES WHEN CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR 10 MINUTES. VERY SLUGGISH RESPONSE BY ENGINE/ TRANSMISSION.
MY HYUNDAI TUCSON TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT IN A LOGICAL AND PREDICTABLE MANNER, OCCASIONALLY NOT RESPONDING WHEN I NEED ACCELERATION SUCH AS PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AT A JUNCTION. MY WIFE NEARLY HAD A COLLISION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT RESPOND CORRECTLY WHEN NEEDED. ADDITIONALLY THE CLUTCH JUDDERS AND SHAKES THE WHOLE VEHICLE WHEN MOVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC AND WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP. IF YOU HAVE READ ANY OF THE 300 OR MORE COMPLAINTS IN THIS SECTION YOU WILL KNOW THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN THIS CAR AND IT IS NOT FIXED REGARDLESS OF THE RECALLS OR BULLETINS TO DATE. MOST LIKELY HYUNDAI ARE NOT REPORTING THEIR COMPLAINT LEVELS TO YOU AS THEY SHOULD WHICH KEEPS THE WOLVES FROM THE DOOR, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH TIME READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT IS UNRESOLVED. THE TRANSMISSION IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED AND THE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS JUST CANNOT POSSIBLY PREDICT ALL GIVEN DRIVER OR DRIVING CONDITIONS. CONSEQUENTLY ON ALMOST EVERY TRIP IN THIS CAR THERE IS A LATE SHIFT, EARLY SHIFT OR HESITATION THAT WILL OCCUR, SOMETHING THAT IS NOT WHAT I EXPECT OF IT. I HAVE A SHORT UPHILL DRIVEWAY TO MY GARAGE, AND EVERY TIME I PARK ON THE DRIVEWAY I'M NOT SURE IF I'M GOING TO HIT THE GARAGE DOOR OR NOT. I HAVE JUST NO CONFIDENCE IN ITS CONTROL-ABILITY AT ALL. THE RECALL DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING NO MATTER WHAT HYUNDAI TELLS YOU AND NOW 3 YEARS INTO THE MODEL ITS STILL THE SAME. YOU CANNOT TURN A BLIND EYE TO THIS AND HOPE IT GOES AWAY. HYUNDAI IN THE MEANTIME HAS ABANDONED THIS TRANSMISSION FOR '19 ON THE TUCSON AND THEY WANT THE PROBLEM TO DISAPPEAR, BUT THIS IS THEIR WAY OF DEALING WITH IT. PROBLEM WAS ORIGINALLY REPORTED TO HYUNDAI IN APRIL 2016 - ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE
HYUNDAI TUCSON ENGINE THE VEHICLE IS BURNING EXCESS AMOUNTS OF OIL. THE RATE OF ENGINE OIL LOSS IS OVER ONE QUART PER 500 MILES. MY MECHANIC TELLS ME HIS EVALUATION IS THE VEHICLE'S TURBO UNIT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN VERY HOT, AND THE INTERNAL SEALS ARE BREAKING DOWN, CAUSING OIL TO MIX WITH THE FUEL. THE SOLUTION IS AN ENGINE REBUILD, WHICH WILL COST OVER $3,000. SUCH A REBUILD WILL RESULT IN THE SAME ISSUE ARISING AGAIN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS IN USE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE, AS I HAVE CORRESPONDED WITH THEM ABOUT IT. THE ISSUE IS GENERIC TO ALL HYUNDAI TUCSONS WITH 1.6 LITRE TURBOCHARGED ENGINE. MY MECHANIC HAS RESEARCHED THE ISSUE, AND SAYS IT OCCURS IN ALL HYUNDAI TUCSON VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE CONFIGURATION. THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES RELATED TO BUILD QUALITY, TRANSMISSION, AND OTHER COMPONENTS, BUT THIS ISSUE OF THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE DESIGN IS OBVIOUSLY THE MOST IMPORTANT. THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE KNEW OF THIS CONDITION AND DID NOT DISCLOSE IT AT THE TIME OF SALE, AND REPRESENTED THAT THE ENGINE WAS IN SOUND WORKING ORDER. *DT*JB
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
THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IS ACTING UP. THE ANSWER AND HANG UP BOTTOM ON STEER STOP WORKING FOR MONTHS,THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WANT GO DOWN.AND THE KEY IN THE CAR.IT SAY THAT KEY NOT DETECTED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPOND FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HORNE HYUNDAI (1360 E AUTO CENTER DR, APACHE JUNCTION, AZ 85219) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. *DT CONSUMER NO HAS THE VEHICLE*JB
I HAVE A 2016 LIMITED EDITION TUCSON WITH 1.6 TURBO. THIS WAS NOT AN INITIAL ISSUE BUT AN ISSUE THAT BUILDS UP AND CONTINUES TO BECOME WORSE THE MORE MILES I PLACE ON THE CAR. THERE ARE HESITATIONS, STUTTERING AND FAILURE TO MOVE WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES. THIS CAUSES FEAR AND DOUBTS OF SAFETY. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE DRIVERS TEST MY VEHICLE AS WELL AND COME TO THE SAME STARTLING RESULT. THERE IS ALSO UNUSUAL VIBRATIONS WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN SPEED, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKING. I TAKE MY CAR INTO FREQUENT AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE YET THEY CANNOT FIND A FIX TO THE ISSUE BUT RATHER EXCUSES. I NO LONGER ENJOY DRIVING MY CAR AND DO NOT TRUST THE LINE OF VEHICLES ANY LONGER.
INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION OR STALLING WHILE STATIONARY OR IN MOTION DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS ON ROADS OR PARKING LOTS. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE OVER ACCELERATES OR ATTEMPTS TO STALL. THIS HAS OCCURRED OFTEN WITH STARTLING RESULTS. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO HYUNDAI DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENTS THAT THIS IS CAUSED BY THE "DOUBLE SHIFT TRANSMISSION" AND THAT ALTHOUGH HYUNDAI IS AWARE, THERE IS NO FIX TO THE PROBLEM -- THAT I JUST HAVE TO GET USE TO IT! UNANTICIPATED ACCELERATION AND/OR STALLING IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FROM DECEMBER 2015 WITH THE MOST RECENT DATE INDICATED BELOW.
THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. IT IS STUCK SHUT. IT OPENED WITH NO PROBLEM OR HITCHES UNTIL WE HAD AN EMERGENCY AND COULDN'T GET THE DOOR OPENED.
HAVE 2016 WITH A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE CAR JERKS AND HAS VERY LITTLE POWER, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS AND THE CAR CAN STALL DURING THE TURN AND YOU ARE NOW STUCK IN ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
"TAKATA RECALL": FRONT LIGHT SIGNATURES FOR THE "LEFT-SIDE" SWICH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. WHEN THE INITIAL CAR TURNS ON, THE DASHBOARD ON OCCASIONS, GOES BLACK! THE CAR WHEN GOES ON TO HIGHWAYS, THE ENGINE (RPM) GOES UP TO 7000 RPM FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR! THS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURN ON. LASTLY, THE TRUNK AUTOMATICALLY STARTED OPENING EVEN WHEN THE KEYS ARE AWAY OR IN MY JACKET OR POCKET ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNED OFF THE CAR.
TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WHEN MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VIOLENT SHUTTERING DURING LOW SPEEDS AND VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. HYUNDAI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. CAT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 50+ DAY FOR THE SAME ISSUES, 4 TIMES. HYUNDAI REPLACES TRANSMISSION AND I AM STILL HAVE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS.
I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. THE ENGINE DIED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK. RESTART THE ENGINE .
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CAR MAX (4300 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356 (209) 241-5646) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,959.
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON LTD. 1.6 TURBO, WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). I LOVE THIS VEHICLE'S DESIGN, FEATURES, AND SPECS. THIS CAR WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE HAZARDOUS, DEFECTIVE, AND DYSFUNCTIONAL DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. OCTOBER OF 2016 NHTSA HAD HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A RECALL AND IN 2017 A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE. NEITHER HAS FIXED THE (DCT) ISSUE. FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW ROLLING STOP,THE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS LAG, SHUDDER, BUCK, HESITATE, AND LURCHES FORWARD SHIFTING BETWEEN THE FIRST COUPLE OF GEARS. AT ITS WORST IT SEEMS TO STALL THEN PROPEL FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER THE 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION TRANSITIONS SMOOTHLY. THIS SAFETY HAZARD COMES INTO PLAY WHEN DRIVERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR TRAFFIC. ESPICALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TIME AND SHOOT A GAP IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY OR AT ALL. THIS UNPREDICTABLE PERFORMANCE IS EXTREMLY DANGEROUS AND LIABLE TO CAUSE OR CONTINUE TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS ISSUE IS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN "SPORT MODE!" THE DCT ISSUE SEEMS TO ONLY AFFECT "ECO" AND "REGULAR" DRIVING MODES. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND TESTIMONIES REVOLVING AROUND THE DCT PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CONSUMERS, DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, AND HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER THE INTIAL RECALL AND SOFTWARE UPDATES ON THE DCT PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLES STILL DEMONSTRATE THE SAME POOR AND DEFECTIVE DCT PERFORMANCE. NOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ARE NO LONGER ACKNOWLEDGING THE DCT DEFECT. THEY SIMPLY REPLY THAT THE ISSUE WAS RECALLED AND FIXED IN 2016 AND 2017 AND THAT "THE CAR IS PERFORMING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO," DESPITE THE CLEAR AND APPARENT DESIGN FLAW! HYUNDAI IS MAKING IT CLEAR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT THEY WILL NOT REVISIT NOR TAKE ACCOUNTABILTY OF THE FAULTY DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 MANUFACTURER HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA COMPONENTS POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WE HAD THIS RECALL 'REPAIR' IN 2017, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN VITAL, SUCH AS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND EVEN AS BASIC AS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT/SIGN. IT IS A DANGER TO US AND OTHER DRIVERS. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2015, AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE THE MORE MILES WE PUT ON THE CAR. THE RECALL FIX DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND WE ONLY JUST LEARNED TODAY FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT WE CAN STILL REQUEST SERVICE, WHICH WE ARE DOING THIS WEEK. BUT, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RE-EVALUATED. AS TO WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN (BELOW), I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE, BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, ALL DAY LONG. WE ARE AWARE THAT IT'S THERE, SO WE COMPENSATE FOR IT ALL THE TIME, AND IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT SIGNAL FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHILE COMPLETING A LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW ROCHELLE HYUNDAI (125 E MAIN STREET, NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK 10801, (914) 618-4209) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TURN SIGNALS. THE DEALER ALSO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN AND THE LANE CHANGE WARNING SYSTEM ALSO FAILED TO ALERT WHEN A VEHICLE WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,453.
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AND EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OF SLOW START AFTER A ROLLING KIND OF STOP/GO SITUATION.IT GOT REALLY BAD AND STARTED SCREECHING WHEN IN A STOP/GO SITUATION OR FROM A STOP. MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE IS NO FIX. SIMPLE RESEARCH AND I FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IN FACT HYUNDAI ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND RELEASED A SOFTWARE PATCH BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE PRESSING ON GAS.
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.
FIRST I'LL START WITH HYUNDAI'S COMMITMENT. 'ALL OF US AT HYUNDAI ARE WORKING TO DELIVER EXCEPTIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND COMPLETE OWNER SATISFACTION. WHILE WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR BRAND AND ARE COMMITTED TO ALWAYS IMPROVING VEHICLE QUALITY, TECHNOLOGY, AND SERVICE, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOMETIMES PROBLEMS CAN ARISE.

MY TRUCK CONTINUALLY STALL & STOP IN TRAFFIC IT MAKES A LOUD KNOCKING, TICKING HISSING SOUND WHILE DRIVING. FAULTY FUEL PUMP AND FUEL INJECTORS CAUSING UNBEARABLE BURNING SMELL. IT ROLLED BACKWARDS WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. ENGINE FAILED AND THE CAR STAYED IN THE SHOP FROM 6/11/18 TO 9/4/18 AND RETURNED ON 9/6/18 THEN RELEASED ON 9/18/18 AND RETURNED ON 9/18/18. *JS
THE 2016 MODEL WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS A HAZARD~! THE POWERTRAIN LAGS WHEN AT LIGHTS, STOPS, SHIFTING GEARS. THIS HAPPENS FROM SIDE STREETS TO HIGHWAY CRUSING/CHANGING LANES AND ETC... I CAN SEE HOW THIS COULD COST LIVES AND I AM GLAD MY LEASE IS UP SOON! I FEEL THE NEED TO ADD A REPORT AND HOPE THIS DOESN'T END UP COSTING ANY LIVES! PLEASE DO A RECALL ON THE OVERALL POWERTRAIN FUNCTION! NO ONE SHOULD BE INURED FROM THIS, THANKFULLY OTHER DRIVERS ARE AWARE!
THIS IS THE 3RD AND WORST TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. I APPROACHED THE STOP SIGN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP MY RIGHT BLINKER ON I WENT TO PULL OUT ONTO THE ROAD AND AND STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANYWHERE FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 AND A 1/2 TO 3 SECONDS. A VEHICLE TRAVELING FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH HAD TO SWERVE AROUND ME I WAS ALMOST HIT HAD THERE A BEEN SOMEBODY COMING THE OTHER WAY DOWN THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT AND PROBABLY KILLED.
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. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ILLUMINATED, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT ILLUMINATE OR FUNCTION. HOWEVER, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS OPERATED NORMALLY WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED OFF. ALSO, WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE DRIVER SIDE TURN SIGNAL LIGHT WOULD SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IN ADDITION, WHEN SWITCHING THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FROM PARK INTO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (BOB STALLINGS HYUNDAI, 39444 LBJ FREEWAY S., DALLAS, TX) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.
A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2017 I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND COMPLAINED ABOUT A HESITATION IN ACCELERATION. I INFORMED THE DEALER THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN NORMAL DRIVING MODE AND WAS WORSE IN ECO MODE. THE DEALER CHECKED FOR THE LATEST TCM UPDATE, SAID IT HAD THE RECALL UPDATE INSTALLED AND SAID THAT ALL WAS OK AND DON'T DRIVE IN ECO MODE. ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS SINCE THEN, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXHIBIT HESITATION SPORADICALLY IN REGULAR MODE, BUT ALSO HAD A MORE SERIOUS FAULT. A NUMBER OF TIMES AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS, THE VEHICLE REFUSED TO MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS. THIS BECAME A PANIC SITUATION AS THE VEHICLE WAS MOMENTARILY "STALLED" IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND THEY AGAIN CHECKED AND SAID THE VEHICLE HAS THE LATEST TCM UPDATE. SUBSEQUENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE CAR HAS OCCASIONAL HESITATION BUT HAVE NOT HAD THE MORE SERIOUS "REFUSED TO MOVE" SITUATION. SINCE IT IS A SPORADIC PROBLEM I HAVE GRAVE CONCERN THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CALL HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE. AFTER SPEAKING TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE SPECIALIST TODAY I RECEIVED TWO OFFERS; TRADE YOUR CAR IN FOR WHATEVER THE DEALER OFFERS WITH NO HYUNDAI CO.ASSISTANCE, AND INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WORKS. SO I AM SUPPOSED TO ACCEPT THAT I MADE A MISTAKE IN BUYING MY 4TH HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI MADE NO MISTAKE, OR I AM AN IGNORANT FOOL WHO NEEDS TO EDUCATE MYSELF. I WAS OFFERED A GIFT CARD TO PLACATE MYSELF. REALLY? I PUT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK FOR A GIFT CARD... THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS HYUNDAI IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR ENGINEERING AND MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND THE DANGER THAT THIS FLAW ENTAILS. IF A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM THEY WILL BE ON THE HOOK FOR MUCH MORE THAN A GIFT CARD.
REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. DRIVER DOOR IS NOW STARTING TO STICK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT SHEPPARD HYUNDAI (2300 W 7TH AVE, EUGENE, OR 97402, (541) 343-8811) PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,800.
COMING TO A STOP /SLOW ROLL AND ACCELERATE THERE IS A BAD HESITATION. CAN BE UNSAFE TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAD HYUNDAI 149 RECALL PERFORMED AND PROBLEM IS BETTER BUT NOT FIXED. TALKED TO HYUNDAI SERVICE, THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX UNLESS HYUNDAI COMES OUT WITH NEW RECALL PROGRAM.
WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IT BASICALLY SEEMS TO BE STUCK AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE BECAUSE THE PERSON BEHIND ME DOESN'T KNOW THAT MY CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND THE CAR STARTED TO ACCELERATE BUT THEN JUST STOPPED AND THE LIGHT TURNED AND THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC ALMOST HIT ME. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE POWER TRAIN OR WHAT IT IS. WE HAVE EXPRESSED THIS CONCERN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN THE PAST AFTER SEEING A RECALL FOR THIS BUT THEY SAID IT WASN'T MY MAKE AND MODEL FOR THAT RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO MANY TIMES FOR ME NOT TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG.
HELLO: GLAD YOU ARE THERE. GIVEN A 2016 NATIONAL SERVICE RECALL, (16V628000) PERHAPS YOU ARE AWARE OF THE 'HESITATION' AND RELATED DANGEROUS FLAWS IN THE REGULAR OPERATION OF HYUNDAI TUCSON VEHICLES WITH A 'DUAL CLUTCH' TRANSMISSION. WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE NEW ON 09/05/2015 FROM A HYUNDAI DEALER. WE RETURNED IT TO THE DEALER FOR THE HESITATION PROBLEM ON 10/19/2015 AND AGAIN ON 11/4/2015, EVENTUALLY A DOZEN TIMES TO VARIOUS HYUNDAI DEALERS IN HOPE OF HAVING A LASTING REPAIR DONE. TO NO AVAIL. WE WERE TOLD REPEATEDLY OF A SOFTWARE UPDATE OR ADJUSTMENT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WE WERE TRUSTING EACH TIME, ACCEPTING THE VEHICLE BACK. (SERVICE RECORDS OFTEN STATED THAT A MECHANIC 'COULD NOT REPLICATE' THE PROBLEM AS IF THAT WERE ANSWER TO A PROBLEM THAT WAS KNOWN TO ARISE SPORADICALLY. CONVERSELY, SEVERAL TIMES A SERVICE EMPLOYEE SAID OFF TO THE SIDE THAT THEY WERE WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IN TWO CASES THEY HAD THE SAME ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THEIR HYUNDAI VEHICLES!) THIS HESITATION HAS, FOR SELF-PROTECTION, OFTEN FORCED US TO DRIVE OUT OF OUR WAY TO AVOID BUSY UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS AS A MID-CROSS HESITATION COULD RESULT IN THE HIGHLY DANGEROUS, INFAMOUS 'T-BONE' ACCIDENT. IT HAS CAUSED NEAR REAR-END COLLISIONS AS DRIVERS BEHIND US DO NOT EXPECT A SUDDEN PAUSE IN MOVEMENT. CONCERNS OF ACCIDENTS PRODDED US AT TIMES TO INSTEAD DRIVE A MUCH OLDER CAR WITH 200,000 MILES. WHAT SEEMS TO BE A CLUTCH PROBLEM HAS RECENTLY GROWN: HESITATION CAN OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, WHICH OBVIOUSLY IS QUITE UNSAFE. ALSO NEW IS SPORADICALLY, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FROM A STOP, THE RESULT AT TIMES IS A LOUD WHIRRING NOISE LASTING SECONDS. AS IN ALL 'HESITATION' CASES, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO IS DRIVING ALTHOUGH HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENTS HAVE REPEATEDLY SUGGESTED JUST THAT. THEY RECENTLY OFFERED TO HAVE US DRIVE A SIMILAR VEHICLE AS A TEST. WE AGREED. THEY WITHDREW THE OFFER.
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.
I HAVE OWNED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR 2.5 YEARS. IN THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN IN FOR SEVERAL ISSUES THAT CAN NOT BE DUPLICATED WHEN AT THE SERVICE CENTER AND DEEMED "WORKING FINE, NO CODES PRESENT AT THIS TIME". MY ISSUES HAVE INCLUDED LOSS OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL AFTER A STOP (SOFTWARE UPDATE FIXED), INTERMITTENT HEADLAMP THAT WON'T TURN ON, THE MEDIA DISPLAYING "BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING" WHILE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IN MOTION (HEADLAMP REPLACED AFTER SEVERAL TIMES TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE WARNING LIGHT GO ON WHILE THE TECHNICIAN WAS THERE). NOW THE COMPUTER/DASH BOARD IS RESTARTING ITSELF AT 45 MPH . THIS HAS OCCURRED TWO TIMES. THE DASH BOARD WENT DARK FOR 1 SECOND AND THEN STARTED BACK UP THROUGH IS STARTUP SEQUENCE. DURING THIS TIME, THE ENGINE IS STILL RUNNING BUT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE TRANSMISSION. IF YOU PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL INCREASE RPMS BUT NOT ACCELERATE. DURING THIS TIME IT IS NECESSARY TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN BACK ON. AGAIN, NO CODES THROWN AND NOT REPRODUCIBLE AT THE SERVICE CENTER. THE SERVICE CENTER FOUND THAT THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL WAS NOT COMPLETELY TIGHT AND THOUGHT MAYBE THIS CAUSED THE ISSUE. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT SOMETHING THAT COULD HAPPEN EASILY AS THIS DOESN'T SHOW UP AS AN ERROR SINCE IT CAUSED A UNSAFE DRIVING ENVIRONMENT. 24 HOURS AGO, WHILE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN AT A BUSY STREET THE CAR STARTED FORWARD WHEN GAS PEDAL PRESSED BUT THEN STOPPED MOVING FORWARD ONLY TO LURCH FORWARD AFTER A SECOND AND PICK UP SPEED. I KNOW THAT IF I TAKE IT IN FOR THIS IT WILL BE THE SAME STORY: "WE FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NO CODES THROWN, BRING IT BACK IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN." THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE MANUFACTURE WILL NOT BUY IT BACK SINCE THERE WAS NO DEFECT FOUND...
SEVERAL TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ON GOING ISSUES, WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE ITS EITHER NO MOVEMENT OR JERKS BACK AND FORTH LIKE ITS OUT OF GAS BUT WONT GO. THIS HAS BEEN ON GOING SINCE I LEASED IT NEW BUT THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME ITS FINE. THEY HAVE HAD IT MANY TIMES. IT HAS ALMOST GOTTEN ME HIT SEVERAL TIMES AS IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO. I HAVE HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS FROM A STOP TO GO AND WHILE IN TRAFFIC WHILE I AM GOING AND TURNING. I HAVE HAD ALL THE UPDATES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS FIXED BUT IT STILL CONTINUES TO DO THIS IN ALL SITUATIONS AT RANDOM TIMES.THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE FOR MY FAMILY. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED.
VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE WHEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED. OR IT MOVES AND THEN STOPS WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. STUTTERS DURING ACCELERATION AS WELL. VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH CAN RESULT IN A CRASH OR DEATH. I'VE REPORTED THIS 2X TO HYUNDAI AND THEY STATE IT IS HAPPENING BUT NOT RECALLED UNDER MY VIN. I'VE HAD IT SERVICED 3X REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE! DATES BELOW ON WHEN IT HAPPENED IS NOT EXACT BECAUSE IT'S STILL HAPPENING.
THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT TURNED ON WITHOUT ANY AUGURIES WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. WE PULLED OVER THE CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, BUT THE CAR COULD NOT BE STARTED AGAIN AFTER WE TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEN WE WERE TOLD THE ENGINE WAS SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN WE ASKED HOW IT HAPPENED, THEY TOLD US THAT OUR ENGINE OIL PLUG WAS MISSING, SO ALL THE ENGINE OIL WAS DRAINED OUT. THEY CHECKED OUR MAINTENANCE RECORD, AND FOUND THAT WE HAD AN OIL CHANGE THREE MONTHS BACK AT ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THAT IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT THE ENGINE OIL PLUG WAS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED DURING LAST MAINTENANCE SERVICE, BUT THEY WERE NOT SURE ABOUT IT, AFTER ALL IT HAD BEEN 3 MONTHS NOT 30 MINUTES SINCE THEN. WE WERE NEVER GIVEN A SURE REASON FOR WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAR, BUT THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT WAS TAKEN CARE OF BY HYUNDAI WARRANTY. PERSONALLY I DON'T THINK THE 'MAINTENANCE MISTAKE' HYPOTHESIS MAKE SENSE. WE DID NOT DRIVE THIS CAR DAILY, MAXIMUM AVERAGE USAGE WAS ABOUT WEEKLY, BUT LONG DISTANCE MOST TIMES. IF THE PLUG WAS LOOSE DUE TO THE MAINTENANCE, WE SHOULD HAVE A PROBLEM SOONER UNLESS THE OIL DOESN'T DRAIN WHEN A CAR IS PARKED. IN ADDITION, IT COULD NOT BE SOMEONE LOOSE THE PLUG AT A PARKING LOT ON PURPOSE EITHER. BECAUSE WHEN WE DROVE THE CAR OUT, WE DID NOT NOTICE ANY OIL TRACE ON THE GROUND, AND WE HAD BEEN CONTINUOUSLY DRIVING THIS CAR FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILURE HAPPENED. THE MOST POSSIBLE REASON THAT I COULD THINK OF IS THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. I AM HOPING THIS ISSUE CAN BE BROUGHT INTO A FORMAL INVESTIGATION, BECAUSE IT COULD LEAD TO VERY SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES.
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUT OF A PRIVATE DRIVE AGAIN 4 DAYS AGO, WITH PLENTY OF TIME BEFORE ON COMING TRAFFIC WAS CLOSE, MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WITH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT FINALLY DID ACCELERATE WHEN TRAFFIC WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE. THIS HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY AND IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM PREGNANT AND THIS IS TOO DANGEROUS. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE AN ACCIDENT BEFORE IT GETS FIXED? IT NEEDS FIXED NOW! IT WAS 6:56PM, NOT THE PRIME HEAT OF THE DAY AS MANY USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE. I WILL NEVER BUY A TUCSON AGAIN AND WILL NOT RECOMMEND THEM. THE MORNING OF THIS INCIDENT (8A-10A) MY CAR FELT AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS 'SLIPPING' AND 'JERKING' SEVERAL TIMES AS I DROVE THROUGH THE CITY. AGAIN NOT DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY AND ALL SAFETY RECALLS. ONCE AGAIN I AM UNABLE TO CHECK THE 'YES' BOX TO REQUEST THIS INFORMATION AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM.
AT SLOW START STOP SPEED THE CAR WILL AT TIMES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR,CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS. CONTRARY TO MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS PROBLEM THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV , IT IS AS IF THERE IS NO CONNECTION TO THE FOOT PEDAL.USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN EDGING FORWARD TO EXIT A DRIVEWAY.I HAVE BEEN NEARLY T-BONED MANY TIMES.ONLY FORSIGHT HAS KEPT ME OUT OF TROUBLE SO FAR BUT I'M AFRAID SOME DAY MY LUCK WILL RUN OUT.
WHEN STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL, FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY GO. IT SLOWLY MOVES, AND THEN TAKES OFF AFTER ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS. IF STEPPING LIGHTLY ON THE GAS PEDAL, MOVING SLOWLY ("CREEPING"), AS IF THROUGH A PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE SHUTTERS AND JERKS.
IN NOVEMBER 2017 I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. APPARENTLY, THE VEHICLE HAS A "DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION" DCT. RECENTLY WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE LUNGED JERKING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. IN ADDITION WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER UNTIL NEAR STALL. THIS IS BOTH SCARY AND ALARMING. THE SHUDDERING OCCURS WHEN EITHER ROLLING FORWARD, ACCELERATING THE GAS, OR SITTING IDLE. THIS HAS BECOME A SERIOUS CONCERN AS MY CAR JUST DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE ACCELERATION AT ALL AT TIMES. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASING SCARY AND UNSTABLE IN MY OPINION. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS EXCEPT THAT THE CAR CHECKS OUT FINE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE AND FOUND ON "CAR COMPLAINTS" THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL YET HYUNDAI HAS NO INFORMATION ON THIS. I WILL BE CALLING THE MANUFACTURER TO COMPLAIN. I AM SICK TO MY STOMACH ABOUT THIS. PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR STABILITY AND SECURITY ON THE ROAD AND NOW I AM STUCK WITH IT. SELLERS SHOULD HAVE TO DISCLOSE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION TO BUYERS. PERIOD!
INSTALLED TRAILER HITCH AND WIRING ON SAID 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON AND WIRING MODULE SHORTED OR MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING DEFECTIVE LIGHTING ON TRAILER. CHECKED ONLINE AND FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM DOES EXIST FROM HYUNDAI ( RECALL CAMPAIGN 153 ) AND THIS VEHICLE DOES FIT THE MANUFACTURE DATE WITHIN THE RECALL BUT THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER WHEN NOTIFIED SAID THAT THIS VIN # IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH I AM HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEM THE RECALL IS FOR. I AM MAKING THIS NOTICE IN THAT SHOULD THERE BE A PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE THAT I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND THE COMPANY CHOOSES TO DISMISS MY CLAIM. THIS PROBLEM EXIST MOVING OR STATIONARY, BUT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND ESPECIALLY WHEN CHANGING LANES OR TURNING
SITTING IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE OF A ACCIDENT MY TUCSON WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I PRESSED THE ACCELATOR FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS THE RPMS WOULD GO UP, THEN THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNG FORWARD. THIS CONTINUED FOR ABOUT 2 HOURS. I BELIEVE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS AT FAULT.
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SPORT MODELS THAT HAVE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLES HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND WILL THEN LAUNCH FORWARD ONCE THE GEAR ENGAGES. THE RPMS WILL SHOOT TO 3 AND THEN DROP TO JUST ABOVE 0 MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE REACHING 20 MPH. MY VEHICLE IS ALSO MAKING A RATTLING SOUND WHEN IDLING AND ACCELERATING AT SLOW SPEEDS. HYUNDAI HAS DONE THEIR RECALL UPDATE BUT IT IS NOT COMPLETELY FIXING THIS ISSUE AND JUST MAKING IT SLIGHTLY LESS DRAMATIC. I HAVE ASKED HYUNDAI MULTIPLE TIMES TO ADDRESS THIS AND THEY ARE REFUSING TO ADDRESS OT SAYING IT IS JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSIONS TO AVOID HAVING TO REPAIR THE VEHICLES . I HAD A TECH AT HYUNDAI TELL ME THAT HYUNDAI WILL SAY IT'S NORMAL BUT IT'S NOT NORMAL. PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE. MY VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN I WAS MERGING FROM A STOP TO ANOTHER LANE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT 40 MPH ON A CITY STREET, IT TOOK A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND MOVED. IT ALSO HESITATED WHILE I WAS TURNING FROM A DRIVEWAY AND THEN JERKED AND KICKED FORWARD. THIS IS NOT SAFE !
WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW FROM THE SHOWROOM FLOOR WITH 0 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER. WHEN WE BACK OUT FROM THE DEALER PARKING LOT AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. THE SALESMAN ENDED UP BACKING THE CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPT WHERE THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION. IT RAN FINE FOR A MONTH OR TWO THEN STARTED STALLING AGAIN. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND ONCE AGAIN IT RAN FINE FOR A SHORT PERIOD UNTIL RESUMING THE STALLING EFFECT AGAIN. NOW, THE TRANSMISSION STALLS AND/OR SHUTTERS CONSTANTLY WHEN TAKING OFF, CAUSING US TO ALMOST BE HIT BY ONCOMING CARS. THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 11,000 AND THE POWERTRAIN HAS A 10YR/100,000 MILE UNLIMITED WARRANTY, BUT HYUNDAI SAYS THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTING EXACTLY THE WAY IT IS SUPPOSED TO AND WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LOCKS FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY OR MANUALLY FROM OUTSIDE OR INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE MILEAGE WAS NOT ADDING CORRECTLY, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 104 MILES ON IT AND AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES THE TOTAL MILES ON MY CAR WAS 150. MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY STARTS ON OCCASION WHEN I USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS. MY STEREO/GPS/BACK UP CAMERA VIEW DOESN'T WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT 'SLIPS' AND OTHERS IN WHICH I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) TO THE FLOOR TO GET MY CAR TO MOVE. TODAY I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UPON GREEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) AND MY CAR RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND IT MOVED A FEW FEET. I HAVE LESS THAN 33,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY 'CAN'T DUPLICATE' THE ISSUES I'M HAVING. TRANSMISSION APPOINTMENT IS TOMORROW. I WOULD LIKE NOTIFICATIONS OF ANY RECALLS, I AM UNABLE TO CHECK THE BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE I AM SUBMITTING.
MY 2017 TUCSON NOW HAS 1,771 MILES. I HAVE THE SAME FEARS FOR MY FAMILY, MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER I HAVE DRIVING AT LEAST 15 TO 20 MINUTES. IF SUV THEN SITS FOR A SHORT WHILE THEY MAY START UP AT THAT POINT. SEVERAL TIMES MERGING ONTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION I ATTEMPT TO PULL FORWARD WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, MY SUV SLOWLY MOVES INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE RPM'S REV, BUT THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. I HAVE CARS COMING DOWN A HILL TOWARDS ME THE CAR BEHIND ME HAS SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. MORE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS, EVENTUALLY I HAVE POWER. SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT TURNS GREEN, AGAIN PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS AND THE CAR REVS AND SUV EDGES FORWARD. I FEEL LIKE L HAVE NO POWER THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUV STARTS TO MOVE. I AM GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IT WILL BE AT THE HANDS OF HYUNDAI. I HAVE EXPLAINED MY CONCERN TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS, BUT BRING IT IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE WHILE THEIR I ASKED THEM TO PLEASE CHECK MY CONCERNS AND I EXPLAINED AGAIN. WENT BACK A FEW HOURS LATER & THEY FOUND NOTHING, NO CODES CAME UP TO EXPLAIN ANY ISSUES, I COULD LEAVE IT FOR THREE DAYS AT A FUTURE DATE SO THEY COULD SPEND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH IT. THEY NEVER ENDED UP HAVING A RENTAL TO TAKE IT AS OF YET. 2016 TUCSON OWNERS EXPERIENDED THE SAME ISSUES. HYUNDAIS 2ND YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUES, 2016'S TACKLED WITH NO SUCCESS. WHEN I APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS ISSUE I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. IF HYUNDAI IS UNABLE TO FIX TJIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. GO TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE YET KILLED. I KNOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HOW IS IT LEGAL SELLING SOMETHING KNOWING THAT IT'S NOT SAFE.
WHEN ACCELERATING I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES FORWARD AND THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE WHILE THE RPMS CONTINUE TO RISE BUT AT THIS POINT YOU ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER, IM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS. THEN, SOMETIMES 2 SECONDS, SOMETIMES 5-10 SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND THE CAR LAUNCHES FORWARD DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. IM SURE THIS ISNT GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF A CAR LAUNCHING IN THIS MANNER. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE RPMS RISE BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING AT ALL. I WILL PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CAR STILL WONT MOVE. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I BROUGHT THESE COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE AND TOLD ME THEY HAD JUST ISSUED A RECALL. SO I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT FIX. I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE WHAT I PAID FOR. WELL, I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. WE ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS MORE FREQUENTLY. SOME TECHNICIANS AND HYUNDAI MOTORS USA TELL ME THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND SAY THAT I SHOULDNT EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. LET ME REPEAT, I SHOULDNT EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS! THEY ALSO SENT ME A YOUTUBE VIDEO TO TEACH ME HOW TO DRIVE A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WHICH I FOUND INSULTING. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CAR! OTHER TECHNICIANS FROM ARAPAHOE HYUNDAI ADMIT THAT THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THEY WOULD NEVER PUT THEIR FAMILY IN ONE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS CAR AND TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT PROPERLY ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER (LAFONTAINE HYUNDAI IN DEARBORN, MI) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 5,000.
THIS SUV STUTTERS AND HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. AT A STOP ENTERING TRAFFIC LANES VERY UNSAFE WHILE IDLING WILL STUMBLE AND SHAKE. RPMS WILL RAMP UP WITH NO TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT. THIS IS OUR 3RD TRANSMISSION I DON'T THINK HYUNDAI HAS A FIX FOR THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR WAS $35000 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES? UNSAFE. UNACCEPTABLE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AND ITS TRANSMISSION ONLINE HYUNDAI OFFERS NO LONG TERM SOLUTION
AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF, THE GAS TANK MAKES A NOISE SIMILAR TO A PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE EXPANDING/CONTRACTING.
DOUBLE-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HESITATION WHEN THINKING ABOUT STARTING OUT OR SHIFTING OF 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS. THIS ALLOWS AN ONCOMING VEHICLE TO BE 2.5 CAR LENGTHS CLOSER AND WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AGAINST ON-COMING TRAFFIC THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MOVING STRAIGHT. THE HYUNDAI DEALER TOLD US TO KEEP THE DRIVE MODE IN SPORT - IT HAPPENED ONCE IN THAT NOT NEARLY AS SEVERE. HOWEVER IN SPORT WE GET FAR LESS MILES PER GALLON (5 MILES ON AVERAGE) AND THE FUEL ECONOMY WAS WHY WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WE ALSO CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THEY INFORMED US THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE TRANSMISSION SAID, 'IT WORKS AS DESIGNED.' THAT MEANS IT WAS DESIGNED TO PUT PEOPLES' LIVES IN DANGER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOWSER HYUNDAI (1001 CLAIRTON BLVD, PLEASANT HILLS, PA 15236) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,952.
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.
AFTER STOPPING, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD IT HESITATES SEVERELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE ENGINE RPMS PICK UP BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. IN FACT, IF YOU ARE ON A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT BACK.THIS OCCURS IN REGULAR DRIVING MODE - NOT ECO OR SPORT. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE LAST TIME WAS ABOUT 3:30 PM ON 05/13/2018 IN THE 1.5 TO 2 SECOND DELAY THAT VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE MOVED 55 TO 73 FEET! AND I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT ANY VEHICLE BEHIND THE TUSCON WOULD EXPECT AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND OTHER VEHICLES ARE BEHIND YOU. I SPENT 15 YEARS IN FIRE & RESCUE AND HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF REAR-END ACCIDENTS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WITH A 55 TO 73 FEET DELAY ZONE.
I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI, TUCSON, FOR OVER 5 HOURS ON HIGHWAY. AFTER TAKING A BREAK, AND RETURNING BACK TO HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN ACCELERATING FROM MY 60MPH SPEED TO OVER 80MPH. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL AND TAPPED BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE, AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY PULLING CAR OFF HIGHWAY, I APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP CAR. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE CAR IS ROUTINELY IN FOR SERVICE.
I THOUGHT I WAS IMAGINING THINGS. I WOULD BE STOPPED AT A LIGHT A STOP SIGN ETC. BUT WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE I WOULD'NT GO ANYWHERE. THIS HAS HAPPEN SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2015.
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR HESITATES AND DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD. I THEN TRY IT AGAIN AND THE CAR MOVES AS EXPECTED. AT THIS POINT, MY WIFE AND I VERY FRIGHTENED THAT WE CAN NOT PREDICT THE ACTIONS OF THE CAR WHICH COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBLE INJURY/DEATH. IT APPEARS A LOT OF OTHER HYUNDAI TUSCON OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE.
VARIOUS ISSUES HAVE COME UP WITH MY TUCSON RELATED TO MISC ITEMS WHICH WERE REPAIRED. I ALSO NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH ACCELERATION FROM STOP. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN YOU STARTED TO PROCEED FROM A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TIME TO GET BROKE IN SO AFTER IT WILL FIX ITSELF. EACH TIME I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THEY STATED THEY HAD CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT AND PERFORMED SERVICE AND FOUND NO ISSUES. I WAS NEVER TOLD ABOUT ANY RECALLS OR DEFECTS IN MANUFACTURING. RECENTLY, THE PROBLEM BECAME DANGEROUS. THE CAR WOULD HESITATE AT STOP LIGHTS AND ALMOST CAUSED TWO ACCIDENTS. ON ONE OCCASION, IT WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO AFTER PRESSING THE GAS AND THEN IT SURGED FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HIT ME ALSO. I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, A REP FROM THE SERVICE DEPT.DROVE THE CAR AND STATED, 'YOU COULD DRIVE CROSS COUNTRY, AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM'. WITHIN DAYS OF THIS INCIDENT, ANOTHER WAS NARROWLY AVOIDED AND I HAD ENOUGH. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AT A STOPLIGHT AND THEN AT THE NEXT IT HESITATED AND THEN SURGED FORWARD ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED THEY FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT! THE DEALERSHIP TOOK MY TUCSON TO INSPECT. AFTER A DAY, THEY CALLED AND TOLD ME I NEEDED AN ENTIRE NEW TRANSMISSION. THAT THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION WAS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND REQUIRED A FULL REPLACEMENT, THEY ALSO SAID THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH DRIVE SHAFT WHICH THEY ALSO WOULD NEED TO FIX AND FINALLY ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE A/C WHICH WOULD REQUIRE FULL REPLACEMENT AS WELL. AFTER TWO YEARS AND A FULL WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP "CHECKING EVERYTHING" DURING EACH SERVICE AND NOW ONLY AFTER MY DEMAND, AND MY PLEADING DO THEY FIND PROBLEMS'AND ALL MAJOR PROBLEMS. I GOT MY CAR BACK, BUT NOW THE HEATING AND A/C IS NOT OPERATING RIGHT.
WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE CAR HESITATES AND OFTEN WILL SHUDDER. THE COMPANY HAS ADMITTED IT IS A FLAW DUE TO DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THEY HAVE SINCE STOP USING THIS TRANSMISSION. THIS OCCURS REGARDLESS OF STREET , OR HIGHWAY.
DURING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC WITH SPEEDS FROM STOP (0MPH) TO 15MPH AND STOPPING AGAIN (WHICH I HAVE TO GO THROUGH EVERY DAY TO AND FROM WORK M-F), THE SUV HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE-SOMETIMES VIBRATING LIKE DRIVING ON BUMPY DIRT ROAD BEFORE IT FINALLY JERKS WHEN THE GEAR CATCHES. DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO EXCEPT RESET THE COMPUTER-WHICH THEY DID BUT SUV STILL PRESENTING WITH SAME PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO BE WORSENING.
THE CAR DOESN'T RELIABLE ACCELERATE AFTER PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE. INTERMITTENTLY IT TAKES UP TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO MOVE FROM A STOP. TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO BUSY TRAFFIC HAS CAUSE NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MANY OCCASIONS. YOU MAY PUSH THE PEDDLE DOWN AND IT SIT THERE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHOOT FORWARD. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER OVER 6-7 TIMES AND THEY STATE "THEY ALL DO THAT". IT HAS BEEN THAT WAS SINCE WE BOUGHT IT IN 2016 AND HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH A LAWYER SINCE BUT HAVE STOPPED DUE TO FEES.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO GEAR SHIFTER/TRANSMISSION FAILURE, ENGINE/ ACCELERATION MALFUNCTION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD *JS
I WAS AN OWNER OF A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH TURBO. UNTIL JANUARY 23, 2018. I OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AND ALTHOUGH THIS WAS A GREAT VEHICLE WE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE A WEEK AFTER OUR PURCHASE DATE.WE HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT WRIGHT WAY HYUNDAI IN STAUNTON, VA NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE SAME ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD ALLOW THE MOTOR TO SEND THE RPMS TO EXCEED A HIGH LEVEL BEFORE ENGAGING. SO BAD AT TIME THAT IT WOULD PULL YOU TO ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD OR THE OTHER, ALSO FROM A STOP IT WOULD REV UP SO BAD THAT IT WOULD TAKE OFF SPINNING. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI OVER THIS MATTER INCLUDING OTHER DEALERSHIPS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERYTHING FROM 'THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED' TO 'YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT'. IT ALWAYS WOULD COME DOWN TO THAT IT WAS THE WAY WE WERE DRIVING IT. I'M SORRY BUT A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT RESPOND IN THAT MATTER. I ALSO WAS TOLD BY A HYUNDAI REP. THAT THEY HAVE HAD MANY COMPLAINTS OVER THE SAME ISSUE.I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS APPROACHING A CURVE WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE ACCELERATOR THE RPMS SHOT UP. IT WOULDN'T GO. I PUSHED AGAIN, AND THE RPMS SHOT UP AND THEN SUDDENLY IT ENGAGED AND WHEN IT DID I WAS PULLED LEFT ACROSS THE ONCOMING LANE AND OVER A STEEP 30-FOOT EMBANKMENT INTO ABOUT 5 FEET OF VERY COLD WATER. I WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL IN AN AMBULANCE AND I WAS CHECKED OUT WITH MINOR INJURIES. AND NO I WASN'T SPEEDING.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY (EXAMPLE: I COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT) THEN TRY TO MOVE AGAIN, THE CAR WON'T MOVE AND THERE IS A LULL WHEN I GIVE IT GAS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE "REVS" BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE I BECOME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR A MINUTE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A RAPID SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER HYUNDAI (2060 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17111, (717) 238-7324) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.
THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION FAILS TO POWER THE CAR SOMETIMES. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE WILL REV UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THE WORK THEY PERFORMED DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE DRIVER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. HYUNDAI CLAIMS THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS. IT'S A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO MAKE HYUNDAI REALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.
2016 TUCSON LIMITED WITH 1.6 TURBO ENGINE. I HAVE HAD RECENT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR BOGS DOWN OR SEEM TO CUT OF WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM TRYING TO MERGE IN TRAFFIC FROM AN OFF RAMP, PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AND TRYING TO GET IN ANOTHER LANE IN TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. AS SOON AS I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD STOP AS IF THE ENGINE HA CUT OFF. I HAVE TO TRY TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT TO1ST GEAR OR SWITCH TO A SPORT MODE FOR THE CAR TO RESPOND. IN HEAVY TRAFFIC TRYING TO MERGE FROM AN OFF RAMP OR CHANGE LANES OR EVEN LEAVING PARKING LOTS TO MERGE ON HIGHWAY. THIS HAS OCCURRED QUITE FREQUENTLY AND I HAVE SOME VERY NARROW MISHAPS WITH CARS SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID RUNNING IN TO ME. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER WHO HAS DRIVING PROFESSIONALLY FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS INCLUDING TRACTOR TRAILERS WITH MANY SAFETY AWARDS. IT IS ONLY BECAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT HAS BEEN AVOIDED SO FAR. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I REPORTED IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS OR SERVICE NOTICES AND HAVE HAD NO RECOURSE THIS SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE OVER THE NEARLY TWO YEARS I HAVE THE CAR. I AM AFRAID TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT SHE MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS OR WORSE ACCIDENT. THE DEALER HAS ONLY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IN ECO MODE ANY MORE, I HAVE DONE EVERY THING THEY ASK INCLUDING USING PREMIUM GAS, MORE SERVICE DRIVING IN DIFFERENT MODES. I HAVE DRIVEN MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES, CARS AND TRUCKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A NEW VEHICLE AND THE SERVICE TECH HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO.
HAPPENED WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE AFTER DECELERATION. WHEN PRESSED THE PEDAL, COMPLETE LACK OF POWER. EVENTUALLY LURCHED FORWARD AND THEN DECELERATE AGAIN ABOUT 3 TIMES. PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR SEVERAL TIMES SEEMED TO MAKE IT WORSE. SLOWLY ACCELERATING HELPED BUT WAS JERKY AND UNSTEADY. HIGHER RPMS ON THE HIGHWAY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE RIDE HOME THAT DAY. ONCE THE CAR IS TURNED OFF, THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE IT. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3X. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND AM NOW WONDERING HOW I WILL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT COULD KILL ME. VERY UPSETTING. ALSO, IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HOPE IT WON'T TAKE SOMEONE DYING TO GET THIS FIXED.
SUNROOF SHATTERED AND GLASS FELL INTO THE CAR ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY AND TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. WEATHER WAS 70 DEGREES F AND SUNNY AND THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON FEBRUARY 15, 2018. WE WERE NOT NEAR AN OVERPASS AND THERE WERE NO LARGE TRUCKS AROUND US AT THE TIME.
NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, ROLLS BACK WHEN AT A STOP OF ANY INCLINE, LUNGES FORWARD AFTER A STOP SINCE THE TRANSMISSION IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IN EVERY MODE IT DOES THE SAME, THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE A FEW MONTHS AGO, BUT IT DID NOT HELP AT ALL. MY DAUGHTER GOES TO COLLEGE OUT OF STATE AND IS ALWAYS VERY NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING HER CAR. I AM NERVOUS AS A PARENT SO FAR AWAY. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES TO NOTE IT IN THE FILE, WHEN SHE GETS BACK THIS MAY WE ARE HOPING TO HAVE IT BOUGHT BACK FOR SOMETHING ELSE. WHEN IN TRAFFIC, THE STALLING IS EVEN WORSE. SHE HAS ALMOST HIT CARS IN FRONT OF HER SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH HESITATION IN THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION.

DCT TRANSMISSION SHIFTS ERRATICALLY SINCE PURCHASED. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES. CANNOT BE FIXED. EACH SOFT WARE UP GRADE DOES NOT HELP. TRANSMISSION JUMPS INTO NEUTRAL WHEN VERY HOT DAY IN TRAFFIC OR VERY COLD MORNING. DANGEROUS
THIS SUV IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THE DCT(DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION) DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY AND WILL BUCK AND STALL WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW DOWN OR STOP.I HAVE HAD TO SLAM MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WILL STILL NOT ENGAGE TIMELY OR SAFELY. IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A RECALL BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES . THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO OTHER FIX FOR THIS. I HAVE BEEN BEEPED AT BY OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAD TO SWERVE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY SO THEY DIDN'T HIT ME WHEN THE CAR DOES THIS.I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND THEN THE CAR WILL JUST TAKE OFF. I BARELY DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF. THIS. I AM AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY REFUSE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS SO UNSAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI. WAITING ON RESOLUTION, BUT THESE CARS HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS THEY NEED TO REMOVE THE 2016 TUSCAN FROM THE ROAD. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THIS IS MY 6TH HYUNDAI AND I LOVE BUYING HYUNDAI BUT NEVER AGAIN IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2016.
THIS VEHICLE, AS OTHER 2016 AND 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSONS, HAS A PROBLEM WITH SMOOTH AND SAFE ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP. THERE IS A SPUTTER, HESITATION THAT HAPPENS EACH TIME, SOMETIMES STRONGER THAN OTHERS. IF YOU WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, THE SPUTTER IS ENOUGH TO PLACE YOU IN POTENTIAL DANGER. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS TO OUR LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER IN THE 86001 ZIP CODE. WE WERE TOLD THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH THE 2016-17 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAVE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS HOWEVER THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT ISSUED ANY RECALLS NOR MADE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BASICALLY THAT THEY ARE SORRY THAT WE DON'T LIKE THE VEHICLE BUT THEY CAN'T SATISFY EVERYONE. I HAVE THOSE EMAILS TO FORWARD TO YOU WHEN NEEDED.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND CAR WILL DANGEROUSLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN COLD
WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL THE TRUCK DOESN'T MOVE OR SOMETIMES HESITATES A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. IF SOMETIMES THE CAR MOVES AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T YOU CANT JUDGE TO SAFELY SWITCH LANES, MERGE ON TO HIGH SPEED HIGHWAYS, TURN ETC. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CAR AND IT HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. HYUNDAI BLAMES IT ON THE "SPECIALIZED ECO TRANSMISSION" THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AUG 2016.
CAR HESITATES WHEN STOPPED AND MAKING A TURN. CAR ALSO HESITATES WHEN STARTING TO MOVE FORWARD. WE HAVE RECEIVED NHITSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628. WE HAVE HAD TWO CALLS WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO SATISFACTION> MY WIFE HAS ALMOST BEEN IN THREE ACCIDENTS WHEN CAR HESITATED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
MY CAR TURNED OFF TWICE WHILE DRIVING WITH NO INDICATORS LIGHTING UP. I WAS GOING TO TAKE IT FOR OIL CHANGE CLOSER TO MY WORK; BUT HAD TO PULL OVER THE VEHICLE STARTED TO KNOCK AGAIN NO INDICATORS CAME ON. I FINALLY GET TO A DEALERSHIP FOR KIA AND AGENT TOLD ME THEY HAD TO CHECK FOR RECALLS ON THE ENGINE BECAUSE PAST CARS LIKE 2014,2015,2016 ALL HAD ENGINE TROUBLE. THEN TOLD ME ENGINE IS KNOCKING AND I SHOULD PARK IT TO AVOID FURTHER DAMAGE . I TOLD HIM BUT CAR IS ONLY A YEAR OLD. BOUGHT IT IN 2016 BRAND NEW; BUT BECAUSE OF MY NEGLIGENCE OF GETTING THE OIL CHANGE ON TIME; I HAVE TO COVER MY OWN REPAIRS.---AGAIN NO INDICATOR TELLING ME ITS OUT OF OIL OR RUNNING HOT CAME ON.
SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN DEC 2015 THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. WHILE I AM DRIVING THE MESSAGE "BATTERY DISCHARGE WARNING! PLEASE USE THE SYSTEM WITH ENGINE RUNNING" AT HYUNDAI OF LOUISVILLE IN DIXIE THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. LATEST TIME IT HAPPENED 11/30/17 WHILE DRIVING IT FOR OIL CHANGE TO HYUNDAI OXMOR I ASKED TO HAVE THAT MESSAGE CHECKED THEY SAID IT WAS JUST A GLITCH. THE 3 TIMES I AM DRIVING (HIGHWAY AND STREET), SO THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND ON AGAIN IT QUIT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT ORIGINALLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED AT OFF LEASE HYUNDAI (7948 NARCOOSSEE RD, ORLANDO, FL 32822). WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (WESTSIDE HYUNDAI, 1672 CASSAT AVE, JACKSONVILLE, FL 32210) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT AN ERROR MESSAGE APPEARED REGARDING THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS. AFTER FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE AIR BAG WAS FOR A 2015 HYUNDAI AND WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED DUE TO NOT BEING ORIGINAL PARTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.
WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR STATIONARY, THE CAR HESITATES, ALMOST SEEMS TO CHOKE, AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD WITH A BURST WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS HARD TO ANTICIPATE WHETHER IT WILL MOVE OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN. ONCE MOVING THE CAR SEEMS TO OPERATE AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED IN AN EARLIER RECALL (AUGUST 2016). A SOFTWARE "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD, I FELT THERE WAS SOME SMALL NOTICEABLE POSITIVE CHANGE. HOWEVER, ANY EARLY INDICATION OF IMPROVEMENT HAS NOW BEEN LOST. IT IS DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT THE CAR MAY CHOOSE TO GO OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS EXTREMELY OFTEN - ALMOST DAILY. WHILE I SELECTED A DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW, IT WAS ONLY TO SATISFY THE FORM'S REQUIREMENTS.
DCT TRANSMISSION SYSTEM CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO BUCK, HESITATE AND SHAKE WHEN VEHICLE PROCEEDS FROM A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.
I HAD TAKEN MY TUSCON IN 3 DIFFERENT TIMES FOR ALL THE SAME ISSUES EVERY TIME (1) DELAYED ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP WHILE CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC WITH MY 2 YR OLD SON IN THE CAR (2) NOT ACCELERATING AT ALL FROM A COMPLETE STOP BUT THE RPM'S REVVING HIGH BEFORE FINALLY JERKING INTO GEAR AND TAKING OFF AND (3) JERKING WHEN I AM IN TRAFFIC AND I PRESS THE GAS. ALL 3 TIMES, THE "REPAIR" WAS EXPLAINED TO ME AS A "COMPUTER UPDATE". THE CAR WOULD DRIVE FINE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN THE ISSUES WOULD RESUME. THE SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME THIS IS HOW THE DCT WORKS. THEN I SAW THAT THERE WAS FINALLY A RECALL BEING ISSUED AND I THOUGHT "OH YAY! THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS SO I CAN TAKE IT IN THIS ONE LAST TIME AND I'LL BE GOOD TO GO!" AFTER ONLY ONE DAY WE WERE BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES. THE SERVICE DEPT ONCE AGAIN SAID THAT "UNFORTUNATELY, COMPUTER UPDATES WILL BE A NORMAL THING FOR THIS DCT SYSTEM" ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?! THIS IS NOT NORMAL! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT EVERY TIME MY CAR STARTS STALLING WHILE I AM CROSSING ONCOMING TRAFFIC, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD CAUSE MY SON, MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE SERIOUS INJURY, IF NOT DEATH, THAT I NEED TO BRING IT IN FOR A "COMPUTER UPDATE"?? THEY ALSO SUGGESTED THAT I TRY DRIVING IT IN SPORT MODE ALL THE TIME OR USING THE MANUAL SHIFTER TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP WITH THE HESITATION AND/OR STALLING AND JERKING. IF I WANTED TO SHIFT, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A MANUAL. WHEN I PRESS THE GAS, I WANT TO GO. I DON'T WANT TO WORRY THAT THIS MIGHT THE TIME THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T QUITE ENGAGE IN TIME WHILE I'M CROSSING TRAFFIC AND SOMETHING SERIOUS/FATAL HAPPENS. I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THIS CAR, I AM EXTREMELY UNHAPPY WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR PASSIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS THIS ONGOING ISSUE BUT MOST OF ALL, I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE TAKING THAT SERIOUSLY.
PROBLEMS WITH THE DCT TRANSMISSION. VIBRATION AND CHOPPY SHIFTING FROM A STOP OR WHEN ACCELERATING FROM SLOW SPEED. AT TIMES THE TUCSON WILL ALSO SURGE SUDDENLY ,FOR A SECOND OR TWO, WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE, - AT A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT OR PULLING INTO A PARKING SLOT. COULD BE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING LEFT OR WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS IN FRONT OF ME. TAKEN IN FOR SERVICING SEVERAL TIMES. TOLD BY AUTO DEALER AND HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE, THAT THIS IS JUST HOW THE DCT WORKS. NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. NO RE-CALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS THAT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. HYUNDAI CASE NUMBER 10748512, 11/6/17.
BOUGHT THE CAR AT APPROX. 8K MILES. NOW JUST OVER 18K MILES, WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 55MPH, DESPITE THE RIMS REVVING TO 5K-6K. THEN LIGHT CAME ON SAYING TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATING. STOPPED AND SAT FOR 5 MIN TO GET TO GO AWAY. RESTARTED AND STILL TOOK ABOUT 2-3 MIN TO GET CAR UP TO 75MPH. IN THE CITY, MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE AT STOP LIGHT, CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM STOP. RPMS WOULD REV AND REV, BUT NO MOVEMENT UNTIL AFTER MULTIPLE TRIES. WAS TOLD WHEN PURCHASED THAT THIS VEHICLE YEAR HAD RECALL THAT WAS FIXED, BUT WHEN WE PUT VIN INTO NHTSA SITE, TOLD IT'S NOT AFFECTED BY RECALL. IT'S POSSIBLE EITHER THE CONTAINMENT OF THE RECALL NET WAS NOT WIDE ENOUGH, OR THE CORRECTIVE ACTION IS NOT YET ADEQUATE. EITHER WAY, MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS AT STAKE. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO TRUST A NEW CAR TO GO WHEN I PROMPT IT TO. TRANSMISSION IS VERY TOUCHY IN THIS ECO MODEL. I HOPE TO SEE ROBUST CORRECTIVE ACTION BY HYUNDAI, OR A DIFFERENT,SAFER AND MORE RELIABLE POWER TRAIN UTILIZED. OTHERWISE, FOR SAFETY, I SHOULD NOT NEED TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE IT BACK. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE COULD CAUSE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I HOPE THAT MORE OF THESE CARS ARE NOT EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.
WHILE DRIVING MY TUCSON 1.4 T 2016 MODEL, WHEN ACCELERATING CAR JUMPS AND WHEN YOU APPLY BREAKS TO COME TO A STOP....IT STARTS MAKING NOISE AND JUMPING AS IF ITS GOING TO STALL. WHEN TURNING TO A STREET THE OTHER DAY, I APPLIED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE...ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAUGHT UP WITH ME AND ONE IDIOT CAME WITHIN FEET OF T BONING ME. I PUMPED THE ACCELERATOR AND IT FINALLY MOVE IN A RAPID MANNER AND THEN STARTED MAKING METAL SOUNDS. I HAD MY WIFE, SON AND MY TWO GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAR...THOUGHT WE WOULD DIE. SINCE LEASING IT MARCH 2016 BRAND NEW, THE DEALER CONTINUES TO CLAIM IT CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEMS. YET WHEN I GO ON SITES IN THE INTERNET THERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS CAR. I AM AFRAID THAT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WILL OCCUR AND I CANNOT GET ANYBODY TO FIX THE CAR. PLEASE HELP. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND MY WIFE IS 57. WE HAVE TWO BABY GRANDCHILDREN 6 AND 7, AND MY SON IS 16. THE CHILDREN BELONG TO MY OLDEST SON AND HIS WIFE. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY SON TO HS EVERY DAY AND AM TRYING TO TEACH HIM HOW TO DRIVE SAFELY. WE HAVE COME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HURT WITH THE MALFUNCTIONS OF THIS CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LATER STARTED TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JENKINS HYUNDAI OF OCALA (1602 SW COLLEGE RD, OCALA, FL 34471), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT AND EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.
THIS VEHICLE HAS INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WHEN EITHER STARTING OR SPEEDING UP. ASIDE FROM THE DCT LAG ISSUE, IT MAY REV UP TO 4500 W/O MOVING FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITH LIGHT ACCL PRESSURE. IT DOESN'T LIKE TO START MOVING BELOW ~40F AND ACTS JERKILY. THE 1.5-2 SEC LAG MAY, OR MAY NOT, HAPPEN EVEN AFTER THE 2 ECM FIXES. IT IS UNSAFE TO EXPECT IT TO BEHAVE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AS A RESULT - YOU DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL MOVE OR HOW FAST, OR WHEN. TO QUOTE RALPH NADER, UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY, THOUGH NOT PREDICTABLY, SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT.
THE CAR JERKS WHEN THE ENGINE RUNS AFTER A HALF AN HOUR. THE STEERING WHEELS TURNS LOUD VEERING EITHER HARD LEFT OR RIGHT. THE BATTERY TURN AN ALARM AFTER TWO/THREE MINUTES.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS STILL DANGEROUS AND UNPREDICTABLE AFTER I HAD THE RECALL DONE RELATED TO THIS ISSUE LAST YEAR. BELOW 25 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS, JERKS AND HESITATES. THERE IS ALSO A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING AT LOWER SPEEDS. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC FOR 5 SECONDS WHEN I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL. THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT'S TYPICAL FOR A DCT. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH DCTS AND THEY DID NOT HAVE THESE ISSUES.
TRANSMISSION COMPUTER RESET RECALL - PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 13, 2016. DROVE IT TO L.A. A FEW WEEKS AND NOTICED ACCELRATION WOULD BECOME HESITANT IN TRAFFIC AFTER 15-20 MINS IN SLOWER TRAFFIC. PROBLEM WAS VERY PRONOUNCED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OF 15-20 TRAVEL TIMES. SO, TRIED TO GIVE ENOUGH SPACE IN BETWEEN ME AND CAR AHEAD SO THAT I WOULDN'T RIDE BRAKE OR INCH FORWARD. AT SCHEDULED SERVICES INFORMED SERVICE TECH ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK. THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AND COMPUTER RESET TO HANDLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.IN MARCH/APRIL 2017. STILL NOTICED THE HESITATION PROBLEM AND NOTED THIS TO TECH AT SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. OCT 8, 3 SISTERS AND NIECE WENT TO APPLE HILL AND AFTER 35 MINS GOING UPHILL ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON WINDY ROAD, TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED AND COMPUTER DASHBOARD ALERTED ME TO PULL OVER SAFELY . I PULLED CAR OVER TO ABLE APPLE ACRES FARM AND WE LET TRANSMISSION COOL FOR ABOUT 45 MINS. WHEN WE GOT OUT THE CAR IT SMELLED HORRIBLE LIKE BURNT CLUTCH SMELL. WE GOT BACK IN STARTED IT UP AND WAS GOING TO GO UP THE HILL A MILE. IMMEDIATELY BURNT CLUTCH SMELL WAS EVIDENT AFTER 3-4 MINUTES AND CAR WAS HESITANT AND LURCHING FORWARD WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THAT WHEN WE ALL NOTICED THE SHUDDERING FEELING WHEN I WOULD LET OF THE BRAKE TO GIVE IT GAS AS THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACK SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE GEAR ENGAGED. LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL OUT LIKE IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. VERY JERKY. SO, I MADE A TURN TO GO BACK DOWN THE HILL AND THE BRAKES WERE 2-4 SECONDS DELAYED. I FELT LIKE I WAS SLAMMING ON THEM. WE HEADED HOME AND THE FOLSOM OUTLETS TO LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL OF FOR A FEW HOURS. MADE SURE TO TURN OFF TRACTION AND ECO HOPING THAT WOULD HELP. TRAFFIC WAS BETTER AS IT APPEARS TRANSMISSION DOES LIKE STOP/GO SITUATIONS ON INCLINES OR LEVEL SURFACES.
WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT, I PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE (CAR WAS IN SPORT MODE) INTO THE LEFT TURN TO MOVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION ON A GREEN LIGHT BEFORE ON-COMING TRAFFIC APPROACHED. I REQUESTED SIGNIFICANT ACCELERATOR PEDAL APPLICATION TO PROCEED THROUGH THE TURN, LIKELY 3/4 THROTTLE WHEN SUDDENLY THE 7SPD DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. LUCKILY I WAS THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND TURN AND NO LONGER IN DANGER WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE ENGINE WAS HOVERING RIGHT AROUND 6700RPM AND APPEARED TO BE HITTING A SOFT LIMITER AND ULTIMATELY REFUSED TO SHIFT. I LEFT OFF THE GAS COMPLETELY AND PROCEEDED TO RE-APPLY THE THROTTLE WHEN FINALLY THE ENGINE REVS CAME BACK DOWN AND RE-ENGAGE THE NEXT GEAR RATHER ABRUPTLY. AFTER THE INCIDENT THE CAR APPEARED TO RUN AND SHIFT NORMALLY WITHOUT ISSUE. THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ON-GOING ISSUE WITH INTERMITTENT TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT WITH THE TUCSON. I'VE VISITED THE DEALER DOCUMENTING PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH A LACK OF ACCELERATION AND SHIFTING, BUT HYUNDAI DOES NOT ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX. THE CAR HAS ALL CURRENT RECALLS AND TSBS PERFORMED RELATING TO THE PROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION.
ON MY BACK FROM DROPPING KIDS AT SCHOOL, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY AS NORMAL WHILE STATIONARY THE ENGINE SEEMS TO HAVE LOST POWER AND I QUICKLY REMOVE MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND APPLY THE PRESSURE AGAIN THE CAR THEN PICKED UP AGAIN, LUCKILY THE ONCOMING SLOWED DOWN, IT COULD BE WORSE AS I STOOD A RISK OF BEEN T-BONED, THE FIRST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON THE 19 OF SEPTEMBER 2017. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED TWICE TODAY ON THE 28 OF SEP 2017 ON MY WAY TO AT THE JUNCTION TO JOIN THE MAIN ROAD WHILE STATIONARY, IT LOST POWER, AGAIN I COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONE, SECOND INCIDENT ON MY WAY FROM WORK. I AM REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY WHEN STATIONARY.
AFTER GOING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PUSHED. IT WILL STALL AND HAS ALMOST LED TO 2 REAR END ACCIDENT AND ONE SIDE IMPACT ACCIDENT AS A RESULT BECAUSE IT CREATES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN TRYING TO ENTER TRAFFIC. AT TIMES THE ENTIRE CARE WILL SHAKE AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT PROPERLY OR WILL NOT ENGAGE AND RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS IN DRIVE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OVER 4 TIMES AND FOR MORE THAN 30 DAYS WITHOUT RESOLUTION IN THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE AND LESS THAN 12,000 MILES BUT THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER HAVE NOT FIXED THE ISSUE AND SAY THEY CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A KNOWN RECALL AND ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE AS I FOUND OUT AFTER SOME RESEARCH AND THE PROBLEM IS RANDOM AND UNPREDICTABLE. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON A CITY STREET AND HAVE BEEN STATIONARY FOR A MOMENT AND THEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO DRIVE FORWARD OR TURN, THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER AND WILL NOT DRIVE FORWARD. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND NEVER TURNS OFF, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE. I HAVE VIDEO OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING AND CAN SHARE IF NEEDED. I HAVE SHARED THE SAME INFORMATION WITH THE DEALER, OWNER, AND MANUFACTURER WITHOUT RESOLUTION.
VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PUSHED, CAUSING SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION AT LOW SPEED CAUSES THE WHOLE CAR TO SHAKE HORRIBLY.
THE BEST CAR I EVER OWNED WAS A 2001 HYUNDAI SANTA FE. ACCORDINGLY, WHEN I WAS SHOPPING FOR A NEW CAR IN MAY 2016, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO GOING BACK TO HYUNDAI AND PURCHASED MY 2016 TUCSON. ONLY SYNTHETIC OIL HAS BEEN USED SINCE PURCHASE AND ALL SERVICE BELOW, EXCEPT THE 06/14/17 OIL & FILTER CHANGE, HAS BEEN DONE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT., 70+ MILES AWAY: 10/03/16 - THE DCT UPDATE/INSTALL/FIX WAS 1ST COMPLETED. THE ABOVE UPDATE WAS COMPLETED AS PART OF A REGULAR SERVICE BEFORE I BEGAN TO NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS. 02/20/17 - I'M NOT SURE WHEN I FIRST DETECTED A HESITATION OR LACK OF POWER ON ACCELERATION, BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN BEFORE THIS SERVICE DATE, AS THE DOCUMENTATION NOTES THE DCT UPDATE BEING COMPLETED A 2ND TIME. ALTHOUGH SPORADIC, EACH TIME THE HESITATION OCCURS IT CAN BE DANGEROUS, SCARY AND VERY UNNERVING. EQUALLY UNPREDICTABLE AND UNNERVING IS THE RESULTING 'LURCH' FORWARD WHEN POWER RETURNS. 04/12/17 - MORE WORK FOR THE SAME HESITATION ISSUE 06/14/17 - REGULAR SERVICE (OIL & FILTER CHANGE) WAS PERFORMED AT A LOCAL SHOP. 09/14/17 ' RETURNING TO HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE LOOKED AT FOR A 4TH TIME. I TEND TO BE A CAUTIOUS DRIVER & GIVE MYSELF PLENTY OF ROOM (RURAL COMMUNITY) WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS DEFECT IN THE HYUNDAI TUCSON PRESENTS TWO POSSIBLE TRAGIC SCENARIOS. FIRST & MOST OBVIOUS IS BEING BROADSIDED WHEN PULLING OUT, SECOND IS BEING REAR-ENDED, WHEN THE PERSON BEHIND YOU IS EXPECTING FORWARD MOTION. VERY UNSAFE CAR!!
STALLS COMPLETELY ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGINE DEVELOPS NO POWER. REVERSE WON'T ENGAGE BACKING UP ON A SLOPE. ERRATIC INAPPROPRIATE GEAR CHANGES. SHUDDERS, VIBRATES ON ACCELERATION, AND BETWEEN GEAR CHANGES. VERY HESITANT DOWNSHIFTING AFTER GOING AROUND A CORNER.
ENGIN SKIPS, SURGES, HESITATES. ON GOING SINCE PURCHASE
THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP / ROLLING STOP. RPMS WILL INCREASE BUT IT WILL BE 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WHEN THE ISSUE DOES OCCUR. THE CAR THEN JOLTS FORWARDS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RPMS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE LIFE THREATENING AND IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, WILL NOT ACCELERATE, PAUSES WHILE STOPPED, IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC, ON STREET CITY AND HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO REPAIR OTHER THAN AN UPDATE. HYUNDAI REFUSES, YES REFUSES, TO FIX MY CAR AND PROVIDE A REPAIR ORDER. TRIED TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. SO WHEN I FILED WITH THE BBB AND WITH HYUNDAI, HYUNDAI REFUSED TO TAKE MY CAR BACK CLAIMING I DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIR ORDERS. HYUNDAI LOCATIONS SUCH AS EDWARDS IN IOWA AND WOODHOUSE IN OMAHA HAVE NOT DOCUMENTED ALL OF MY CARS ISSUES NOR HAVE THEY ANY PROOF OF MY BEING THERE OTHER THAN TWO TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN NUMEROUS TIMES, WELL OVER 5 TIMES ANYWAY!! THE BBB REQUIRES DOCUMENTATION OF SERVICE, BUT I CAN'T GET AHOLD OF THE DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE THEIR JOB TO DOCUMENT MY CARS SERVICE. I'M GROWING EXTREMELY TIRED OF HYUNDAI AND WOULDN'T WISH THIS CAR ON ANYONE! I STILL CAN'T ACCELERATE, MY CAR BROKE DOWN THE OTHER DAY, AND NOTHING IS GETTING BETTER WITH BEING SERVICED. I'M A SINGLE PARENT WORKING PART TIME AND GOING TO SCHOOL, I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AND COURTESY ON HYUNDAI'S PART TO RETRACT THIS VEHICLE IS ASTOUNDING. I'M UNSURE HOW THERE IS A 5 STAR SAFETY RATING ON THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. HYUNDAI HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. EVERY TIME IT HAS BEEN SEEN AND "FIXED" IT COMES BACK WORSE THAN IT WAS BEFORE. THE LAG IS SUBSTANTIAL, IT JERKS CONSTANTLY, I CAN'T ACCELERATE WHEN ALREADY IN MOTION OR STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, OR EVEN MOVING OUT OF A PARKING STALL. I AM TYPICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN LAGGING AND NO ACCELERATION OCCURS, AND ALL TOO OFTEN I'M ALREADY IN MOTION ON THE INTERSTATE AND CAN NO LONGER MOVE. A LIGHT CAME ON AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS OVERHEATED TWICE AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE JUST GOING 3MPH. MY CAR THEN DIED, LUCKILY I WAS PULLED OVER WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT. THESE CONSTANT ISSUES I'VE BEEN HAVING HAVE BEEN SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE ON JULY 8, 2016. IT ONLY HAD 50 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. I GET REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT I CAN'T HANDLE THE STRESS OF DRIVING IT ANYMORE! EVERY TIME I SUBMIT A CLAIM ON HERE, NO ONE REACHES OUT TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I'VE SPOKEN WITH HYUNDAI NATIONAL AND REGIONAL OFFICES, HYUNDAI SERVICE LOCATIONS, AND THE BBB. WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR YOU TO SEE THAT THIS VEHICLE IS A REAL DANGER, NOT ONLY TO ME, BUT TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD!?!?!?!?!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE THEN JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI (100 HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80010) WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE, WHICH SHOULD REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI EACH TIME WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE MANAGER, WHO FAILED TO ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ
WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SUCH AS A LEFT TURN OR ON THE FREEWAY AT RUSH HOUR, MY VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY CEASE TO ACCELERATE. YOU CAN AUDIBLY HEAR THE CLUTCHES GRINDING INSTEAD OF TICKING AS THEY USED TO AS WELL. THE DCT SEEMS TO PUT THE CAR IN A NEUTRAL STATE UPON STOP AND GO, AND, NOT MOVE. THIS INCLUDES WHEN I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR AS WELL AS I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ON A LEFT HAND TURN AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP. OF AMERICA STATES THIS IS NORMAL FUNCTIONING FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO USE THE DCT. I AM SUPPOSED TO APPARENTLY GET OUT OF MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND ASK OTHER DRIVERS TO PLEASE HOLD OFF FROM SLAMMING INTO MY BACK END AS THE DCT TAKES 3-5 SECONDS EXTRA TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACCELERATE IN STOP AND GO SITUATIONS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE 1X, RODEO HYUNDAI OF SURPRISE 2X, AND, HYUNDAI OF PEORIA 1X FOR THESE ISSUES. I AM VERY AFRAID OF THIS CAR AND HYUNDAI NOW THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE CAR FOR REPAIRS WILL NO LONGER HONOR THE WARRANTY WORK. THE SERVICE GM OF HYUNDAI PEORIA STATED WHILE ON SPEAKER WITH HYUNDAI AMUSA THAT THEY ARE IN FACT SEEING THIS ISSUE WEEKLY BUT, HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANY POSSIBLE ARBITRATION AT THEIR DEALERSHIP! I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A SECOND OPINION AWAY FROM HYUNDAI AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE TECH EXPERIENCED WHAT I SAID WAS WRONG WITH THIS DEATH TRAP VEHICLE AND IT SCARED HIM. THEY ACTUALLY APOLOGIZED FOR HAVING TO GIVE BACK MY CAR AND STOP AND PAYING FOR THE RENTAL. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HYUNDAI AMCUSA DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO IT. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE DYING LIKE MYSELF BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED?
THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS IN APPROPRIATELY. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT, AND LEADS TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN AN INTERSECTION. IT IS AS IF THE CAR EITHER JUMPS/SHUDDERS OR STALLS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. THEREFORE, ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN HIT YOU. MOST OF THE ISSUES OCCUR WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP.
WHILE STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TUCSON WON'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH WITHOUT FORWARD PROGRESS. THIS IS A SLAM-DUNK SAFETY ISSUE, AND I EXPECT A RECALL WILL BE THE RESULT. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS PLUS MOVING THE CAR INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT MOVED. ( ABOUT 30 SECONDS) ONCE THE CAR MOVED , I COULD SMELL THE CLUTCHES BURNING.
MY TUCSON WILL RANDOMLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY WILL NOT MOVE AND THEN WILL LURCH FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A RECALL PERFORMED TWICE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IN ADDITION, THIS WEEK THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND NOW THEIR IS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AND WHAT FEELS LIKE A WOBBLE UNDER THE FRONT PEDALS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FOR THREE SECONDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI IN SURPRISE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI IN AVONDALE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER HYUNDAI PEORIA IN PEORIA, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,822.
UPON RELEASING THE BRAKES AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS JERKING VIOLENTLY WHILE APPLYING THE THROTTLE PART WAY. ON AN INCLINE, FLAT, OR DECLINE IT DOESN'T MATTER. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND PICKING UP SPEED IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. IT JUST SEEMS TO OCCUR FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED.
INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION ISSUES. UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR VERY SLOW ROLL, THE CAR STARTS TO GO BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR WILL SHUTTER UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ONE IS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO AUTOMATICALLY SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL FOR AT LEAST FIVE SECONDS AND THEN DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FIRST TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI (10401 PAPAGO FWY, AVONDALE, AZ 85323 (623) 388-5800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SOFTWARE FAILURE AND THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE HAD TO BE RE-WRITTEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI (12925 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388 (623) 214-4100) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH THE SAME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED FOR THE SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES, BUT DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EMAILED THE DEALER A MANUAL ON HOW TO CORRECTLY OPERATE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,500. UPDATED 09/27/17*LJ *TR
WHEN SLOWING TO A CRAWL IN TRAFFIC WHEN ACCELERATING CAR LEACH FORWARD THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN DRIVER IS NOT FOR THIS ACTION BY THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH A YEAR SIGN HYUNDAI HAS NO FIX FOR THIS WHEN CALL WEATHER THE DEALER/ HYUNDAI WERE TOLD TO LIVE WITH THIS. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUS HURT
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (KEFFER HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 9010 E INDEPENDENCE BLVD, MATTHEWS, NC 28105; (704) 243-9815) ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. DURING THE FIRST AND SECOND VISITS, THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. DURING THE THIRD VISIT, IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AT 800-633-5151 AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9919336. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,078. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ *TR
WE CURRENTLY LEASE THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FUEL CELL. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THERE HAS BEEN A SUDDEN AND SPORADIC LOSS OF POWER DURING NORMAL DRIVING OPERATION. MOST RECENTLY, WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH ON A CA FWY THE CAR LOST ABOUT 90% OF ITS POWER WITHOUT WARNING BRINGING MAX SPEED TO LESS THAN 15 MPH! OCCUPYING THE CAR POOL LANE AT THE TIME, WE HAD TO NAVIGATE 6 LANES OF SPEEDING TRAFFIC WITHIN MOMENTS IN ORDER TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE POSITION. ONCE SAFE WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE HYUNDAI SUPPORT LINE INCLUDED IN OUR LEASE WITH THIS "TEST" VEHICLE ONLY TO RECEIVE INCONSISTENT INFORMATION AND THE RUNAROUND. NOW, IT HAS BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS AND WE KNOW NOTHING MORE ABOUT WHAT CAUSED THIS SUDDEN AND ABRUPT LOSS OF POWER THAT COULD HAVE LET TO A VIOLENT ACCIDENT (IF NOT FOR OUR QUICK AND CONTROLLED RESPONSE). THIS VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 24,000 MILES YET HYUNDAI AND THEIR ANAHEIM CA DEALER NOT ONLY CANNOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE BUT CANNOT GUARANTEE US THAT THE ISSUE WILL NOT REOCCUR WITHOUT WARNING IN THE FUTURE. MAKING THIS VEHICLE UNSAFE FOR OPERATION!
TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WITHIN TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL AND PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. HOWEVER, MONTHS LATER, THE CONDITION CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALER (COURTESY HYUNDAI, 939 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861 (401) 622-1295) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND INDICATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER HAD NOT YET DEVELOPED A SOLUTION. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
THE TUCSON LURCHES AND HESITATES WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, DRIVING AT A REDUCED SPEED (I.E., IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS) OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP (I.E., RED LIGHT TURNS GREEN). SEVERAL TIMES, I'VE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION FOR 5 - 10 SECONDS TRYING TO GET MY CAR TO GO AND COMPLETE A LEFT HAND TURN. I'VE EXPERIENCED LURCHING DURING RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD DRIVING. I'LL BE GOING 25 MPH, AND COME TO A STOP SIGN. I STOP, AND WHEN I DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR DOES NOTHING. ABOUT 5 - 10 SECONDS LATER, IT WILL LURCH FORWARD. WHENEVER IT BEGINS ACCELERATING AFTER A HESITATION OR LURCH, THE RPMS SKYROCKET TO 5 - 6K. THIS HAPPENS WHETHER I PRESS THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR IN DESPERATION, OR I'M GRADUALLY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL. THE LURCHING IS SO BAD AND SO APPARENT THAT MY PASSENGERS COMPLAIN ABOUT IT. THEY THINK I'M DOING IT ON PURPOSE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR TO HYUNDAI SINCE DAY ONE OF OWNING THE CAR. THEY'VE EVEN SENT ENGINEERS TO MONITOR THE ENGINE AND RIDE WITH ME WHILE I DRIVE IT. I KNOW 5 - 10 SECONDS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A LONG TIME, BUT WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO TURN LEFT AND TRAFFIC IS APPROACHING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION, IT'S A NIGHTMARE.
STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS BEFORE. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE, IS JUMPY, REFUSES TO MOVE ANYMORE WHEN STOPPED OR ALREADY IN MOTION. HAD AN APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING WITH WOODHOUSE HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CAR TO BORROW NOR DID THEY GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK - SO I HAD TO RESCHEDULE. THE MECHANICAL MANAGER SAID "CAN'T YOU WAIT 15 MINUTES?" I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AN OPTION TO BE LATE FOR WORK. MAYBE IT'S JUST MECHANICS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE LATE, BUT I SURE AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LACKING HERE AND SO IS THIS CAR. I'M DRAINED FROM ALL OF THE TIME I'VE PUT INTO THIS CAR TO BE REPAIRED AND NOTHING IS FIXED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX! THE SAME BATTLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS PHYSICALLY TAKING A TOLL ON ME AND I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I TRY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND CAN'T ALWAYS MEET THOSE APPOINTMENT TIMES BECAUSE I HAVE A JOB. I NEED MY JOB TO PAY THE LOAN. I NEED THE LOAN FOR THE CAR TO GET TO MY JOB. I NEED MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE. MY CAR IS NOT RELIABLE SO I CAN'T GET TO MY JOB AND PAY MY LOAN BECAUSE OF MY CAR. DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE!?!?!?!! I'VE NEVER HATED A CAR AS MUCH AS I HATE THIS ONE. EDWARDS HYUNDAI SOLD ME A CAR THAT THEY PROMISED WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE - AND IT'S NOT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY THE OPPOSITE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HYUNDAI AGAIN. I'D BE BETTER OFF WALKING AT THIS POINT OR TAKING THE BUS. TAKE THIS THING BACK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING OVER 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL BEFORE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH CHARLOTTE HYUNDAI (8525 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273 (980) 224-5870) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10451311. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HEAR FROM THEM WITHIN THREE TO FIVE DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 09/06/17*LJ. *CN
DRIVER TRAVELING AT 30-40 MPH, STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE BROADSIDE. ON CITY STREET. FRONT END OF VEHICLE SMASHED. CAR DECLARED TOTALED. AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT ONLY 1-2 INCHES THEN DEFLATED. DRIVER STRUCK STEERING WHEEL AND SUFFERED FACIAL, AND BODY INJURIES INCLUDING CRACKED STERNUM. LEASER, AND INSURANCE COMPANIES NOT CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG. OFFERED ONLY MEDICAL ATTENTION. ATTORNEY NOT INTERESTED AS THIS BAG NOT ON RECALL LIST, YET. WARNING TO OTHERS OF POSSIBLE FAULTY AIR BAG.
THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE I GOT IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT, HOWEVER THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 35K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE ISSUES ARE COMING MORE FREQUENT. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE HESITATE AND LURCH PROBLEM. YOU CAN BE ON AN INCLINE OR JUST TRYING TO GO ACROSS AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT HAPPENS. YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES AS THE GEARS CHANGE AND YOU SLOWLY ROLL OUT INTO THE STREET, THEN THE CAR LURCHES YOU FORWARD. I CAME WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF HITTING THE BUMBER OF ANOTHER CAR AFTER I WAS LURCHED FORWARD. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON OR PATTERN BEHIND THIS. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AS THIS HAPPENS, SO BAD THAT EVEN PASSENGERS CAN FEEL IT.
CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE OFFICE VIA CELL AUTO SVCS! ASKED FOR REQUEST SERVICE NOW!!! W/COME IN AND REQUEST A DATE FOR SET QUICKLY BUT CANNOT GET A TOW TO BRING THE CAR TO SERVICES! REASONS: HYUNDAI PASSENGER LEFT SIDE WON'T MOVE! RPM WAS VERY HIGH. RODER WHEEL WHEN BACKING UP SHOWED A LARGE SOUND.
ONGOING ISSUES WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION ON MY 2016 TUCSON SPORT 1.6, SINCE NEARLY THE BEGINNING THERE HAS BEEN HESITATION ACCELERATING FROM STOP, SLIPPING CAUSES JOLT AFFECT WHEN THE CLUTCH DOES GRAB. VERY FREQUENT SLIPPING OF CLUTCH MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS, CLUTCH SLIPPING ALSO CAUSES VIBRATION/JOLTING AT SLOW SPEEDS EVER SINCE THE LAST SW UPDATE. BECOMING SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. OCCURS EVEN IN REVERSE. WAS TOLD NO DEFECT HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN THREE SOFTWARE UPDATES DONE BY DEALERSHIP ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE AS A SAFETY RECALL, 1ST TWO HELPED SOME BUT THE LAST ONE MADE PROBLEM WORSE THAN IT EVER HAS. WAS TOLD NO WAY TO REVERSE THE SW UPDATES. DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI UNABLE TO HELP RESOLVE ISSUE STATING THIS IS "NORMAL" CONDITION WHERE THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS BEING IGNORED.
HYUNDAI PURCHASED THIS CAR BACK DUE TO A FAULTY TRANSMISSION. IT HAD ISSUES SHIFTING BETWEEN THE FIRST 3 GEARS AND STALLED IN BETWEEN EACH. IT HAD ISSUES FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN FEB OF 2016 BUT TOOK UNTIL JUNE OF 2017 BEFORE THE BUY-BACK TOOK PLACE.
I HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS ON THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN TWICE NOW AND HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST 10 TIMES! I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES I'VE HAD BEFORE JUST A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS 2016 (BRAND NEW) CAR LAST YEAR! THE ACCELERATION STILL STAGGERS AND I CAN'T MOVE FROM A STOP, SLOW DOWN, OR WHEN I'M ALREADY IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS, COUNTY ROADS, AND THE INTERSTATE - NOT MY IDEA OF A SAFE CAR WHEN THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT STALLS AND THE RPMS AND EVERYTHING ON THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ALMOST ZERO. TAKE BACK THIS AWFULLY MADE VEHICLE! IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND "UPDATES" AREN'T PERMANENTLY FIXING THE ISSUES. STOP GIVING IT A BAND-AID "FIX" AND JUST TAKE THIS CAR BACK. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. I DON'T WANT IT. WHEN THERE'S ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND I CAN'T MOVE, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO STOP SOMEONE FROM HITTING ME WITH MY BABY IN THE BACKSEAT!?!?!? I CAN'T. BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE THIS CAR MOVE.
THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE PAST TWO RECALLS. UPDATING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT WHAT IT NEEDS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY. I CANNOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, WHEN I'M IN MOTION, OR FROM A SLOW SPEED ON ANY HIGHWAYS, INTERSTATES, CITY STREETS, ETC. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. ALSO, NOW GIVEN ALL OF THE ISSUES I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR, THE AIR CONDITIONING AND BRAKES ARE FADING IN AND OUT. SO ALL OF THE ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED: LACK OF ACCELERATION, STALLING, DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, AIR-CONDITIONING, BRAKING, AND RADIO/BLUETOOTH/CD PLAYER WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK. I SUBMITTED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT THROUGH THE BBB AND SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THIS IS POSSIBLY MY THIRD OR FOURTH COMPLAINT ONLINE WITH THIS HEINOUS VEHICLE. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE!!!! IT'S JERKY AND WILL LAUNCH YOU ONCE IT FINALLY DECIDES TO ACCELERATE AND THEN I'M AT A STANDSTILL ONCE MORE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A DEALERSHIP WOULD SELL A DEFUNCT CAR TO SOMEONE. MAYBE UNKNOWINGLY, BUT NOW I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS AND FIND OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION JUST TO GET TO WORK AND BACK. UNRELIABLE, UNSAFE, UNREASONABLE FOR THE COST, AND I'M NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH THIS VEHICLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RECURRING AND SUBSTANTIAL ISSUE RIGHT WITH THIS UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. LET'S JUST HOPE THE REGIONAL OFFICE WILL FIND A SOLUTION AND PAY OFF THE REST OF THIS CAR. I SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR TO DRIVE WITH MY BABY BECAUSE I KNOW ONE OF THESE TIMES, WE WILL GET HIT. PRETTY SAD TO BE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND I CAN'T MOVE AND OTHER PEOPLE WON'T MOVE FOR YOU. THE LIKELIHOOD OF GETTING HIT... 99%. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT.
THIS CAR HAS HAD A PROBLEM ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN APRIL 2016. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE ENGINE WILL REV BUT THE CAR WILL ONLY CREEP SLOWLY FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH. DESPITE PERFORMING THE RECALL AND RECALL UPDATES ON THE TRANSMISSION, THE ACCELERATION PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE NOT SPEEDING UP. IT ACTS AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING GAS. I CAN PUSH THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND IT JUST KEEPS GOING THE SAME SPEED (ABOUT 2-5MPH). I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT ONCE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT ONCE WHEN A CAR HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN OR IF THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID AN UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS ISSUED AND THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. WELL, THE SAME THING IS STILL HAPPENING SO I TOOK IT BACK AGAIN TO BE LOOKED AT. NOW THEY TELL ME HYUNDAI IS GOING TO RELEASE ANOTHER UPDATE SOON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.
PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILURE TO INFLATE WARNING LIGHT ON DASH. DEALER REPLACED AIRBAG CONTROLLER MODULE ON RECOMMENDATION OF MFG.
RELATED TO ORIGINAL RECALL CAMPAIGN - 16V628000. I HAD THE UPDATED TRANSMISSION CONTROL SOFTWARE/RECALL INSTALLED IN NOVEMBER OF 2016. THE UPDATE WORKED FOR A TIME, BUT PERFORMANCE HAS STEADILY DECLINED ONCE AGAIN (THIS SOFTWARE HAS BEEN EITHER UPDATED OR RESET BY HYUNDAI MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE PURCHASE). I HAVE BEEN STUCK AT INTERSECTIONS WITH NO ACCELERATION, THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE WHEN MERGING ONTO FREEWAYS IS LIMITED (ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO CONVINCE THE CAR TO SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR), AND SHIFTING OUT OF 1ST GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS/LOCAL TRAFFIC IS HIGHLY SPORADIC (SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE THE 'CLUTCH' IS HALF ENGAGED; OTHER TIMES IT WON'T SHIFT OUT OF FIRST, SO YOU ACCELERATE FASTER THAN YOU WANT AND AT MUCH HIGHER RPM THAN WOULD BE CONSIDERED NORMAL DRIVING). HYUNDAI HAS JUST RESET THE SOFTWARE IN MY CAR SO THAT IT CAN 'LEARN' AGAIN, BUT THE UPDATE PROVIDED WITH THE RECALL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE SOMETHING TO BE DONE AS NEW CAR OWNERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO UPDATE SOFTWARE MULTIPLE TIMES PER YEAR IN ORDER TO HAVE THEIR VEHICLE OPERATE SAFELY.
THIS IS MY 2ND HYUNDAI TUCSON 1.6L TURBO LIMITED W ULTIMATE PACKAGE. THE FIRST 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED WAS REPURCHASED BY HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA WITH ONLY 9K MILES ON IT FOR THE SAME ISSUE EVERYONE ELSE IS EXPERIENCING. MY 2ND TUCSON HAS 32K MILES ON IT AND IT'S BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NUMEROUS OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME REASON EVERYONE ELSE HAS MENTIONED. THE CAR HESITATES WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR AS IF IT IS HAS GONE INTO NEUTRAL, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WILL LURCH FORWARD GIVING YOU WHIPLASH. I AM SO TIRED OF BEING 'STONEWALLED' BY HYUNDAI - LOOK AT ALL THESE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND WHERE IS HYUNDAI? WHERE IS THEIR RESPONSE? I'M TIRED OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE MY CONCERN WHEN I SHOW THEM A VIDEO OF EXACTLY WHAT IT'S DOING. THIS REMINDS OF THE PINTO DISASTERS BACK IN THE 70'S. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE HYUNDAI ACCEPTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR A POORLY DESIGNED ENGINE TRANSMISSION COMBINATION. HOW MANY PEOPLE? I'M SO TIRED OF THIS THAT I WANT TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY - THIS IS NEGLIGENCE ON HYUNDAI'S PART, THEY ARE JUST WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE DIE BEFORE THEY REACT. LOOK UP 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON, THE PROBLEM CONTINUES - SO REMOVING 'ECO' MODE IN 2017, DIDN'T RESOLVE THE ISSUE. ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THEIR ISSUE OR WOULD BE INTERESTED IN FILING A LAWSUIT AGAINST HYUNDAI - PLEASE CALL ME AT [XXX] OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX] IT'S ABOUT TIME WE STAND UP AND FIGHT BACK - THIS CAN'T CONTINUE. WHY DOES SOMEONE ALWAYS HAVE TO DIE BEFORE CAR MANUFACTURERS REACT TO A SITUATION? PLEASE CALL ME [XXX] OR [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I'M A 2X 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNER, SO I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT MY EXPERIENCES WHEN IT COMES TO THIS VEHICLE. I'VE BEEN THROUGH THE PROCESS ONCE BEFORE, SO LET'S DO IT AGAIN. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
SHORT PASSENGER TRYING TO USE AN AUTO SEAT CUSHION FOUND THAT AIRBAG PROTECTION WAS DISENGAGED (OFF)--IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. WHEN CUSHION WAS REMOVED, AIRBAG PROTECTION WAS ENGAGED (ON). PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD BE UP-DOWN ADJUSTABLE FOR PERSONS OF DIFFERENT HEIGHTS. OR SENSORS IMPROVED.
VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT TIMES UNTIL 3000 RPM AND THEN SQUEALS TIRES. IT IS A SAFTEY ISSUE. HYUNDA DEALER DID A RECALL WHICH HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY. IT IS INTERMITTANT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HAZLETON HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 703 AIRPORT RD, HAZLE TOWNSHIP, PA 18202) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED; HOWEVER, A FAILURE COULD NOT BE FOUND. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED AT THE HAZLETON HYUNDAI DEALER PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE FAILURE WAS NEVER CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED AND ADVISED HIM TO CALL THE BBB. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000. UPDATED 08/24/17*LJ *CN
WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY, IT SOMETIMES DOES NOT MOVE WHEN YOU GIVE PRESS THE GAS PEDAL. WHEN PRESSING HE GAS PEDAL, THE ENGINE WILL REV, THE RPMS WILL INCREASE, BUT THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OR WILL SOMETIMES SPUTTER AND BARELY CRAWL. THIS SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION.
I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, WE STARTED EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE CAR SEEMS TO LOSE POWER AND STALLS. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE POWER KICKS ON AND CAUSES THE CAR TO JOLT. THIS HAPPENS ERRATICALLY AND AT LEAST 2X PER MONTH. IT'S INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE I AM IN AN INTERSECTION. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING THIS RECALL, BUT THE SERVICE DID NOT HELP MY VEHICLE AT ALL. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AGAIN, AND THE MAN STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, BUT THE HYUNDAI CORPORATION IS STATING THAT THIS IS 'NORMAL' FOR DUAL TRANSMISSIONS.
OCCASIONALLY, ON A CITY STREET AT STOP SIGNAL OR STOP SIGN, VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AS GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. REVS TO HIGH RPM'S, AND AS TRANSMISSION CATCHES UP, THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD VIOLENTLY, NEARLY CAUSING REAR END COLLISION ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AFTER TWO SEPARATE RECALL/DCT PROGRAM UPDATES WITH HYUNDAI DEALER.
WHEN LEAVING A STOP SIGN THE CAR WOULD NOT SPEED UP. HAD THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE UPDATED FROM A RECALL, BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. WAS ALMOST HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM.
10/12/16: BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL OF DCT AFTER CALLING TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE TO ADDRESS THE TRANSMISSION NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY AND HESITATING TO CHANGE GEARS. 12/29/16. RETURNED FOR SAME ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION. SERVICE PERFORMED A 2ND RECALL ON AN UPGRADE TO TRANSMISSION FOR SAME ISSUE. 2/23/17 RETURNED AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUE. NO MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. STATED THAT ALL WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT IS HOW A DCT SHOULD RESPOND. 4/25/17. RETURNED AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUE. STATED NO PROBLEMS EXISTS. ENGINEER WAS GOING TO BE CONTACTED TO PERFORM TEST DRIVE AND FURTHER INVESTIGATE ISSUES. ENGINEER CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO COME AND PERFORM TEST DRIVE. 4/26/17: CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS (COMPLAIN #10185159). CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED. STATED I WOULD HEAR WITHIN 3-5 DAYS. NEVER HEARD. 4/28/17: AFTER SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY, SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO HYUNDAI 112 RE: VEHICLE AND WANTING TO TERMINATE LEASE B/C THEY CAN'T FULFILL SAFETY AND REPAIRS. (HEARD BACK FROM FRAN IN SERVICE...NO RECOURSE OFFERED) 5/4/17: CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR A 2ND TIME. NO RESULTS. LEFT MESSAGE FOR CASE MANAGER AND HER MANAGER. 5/4/17: SPOKE TO FRAN (112 HYUNDAI) WAITING TO HEAR OF APPOINTMENT WITH ENGINEER. 5/10/17: CONTACTED BY CLAIMS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ON 5/18 WITH ENGINEER AND REGIONAL MANAGER. 5/18/17: PRIOR TO TEST DRIVE, ENGINEER CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM AS IT WAS. COMPLETED TEST DRIVE WITH ENGINEER WHILE HE PROVIDED TIPS OF HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE WITH A DCT AND HOW THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH THE HESITATION KNOWN. 5/27/17: CONTACTED A PRIVATE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST REGARDING HESITATION/JERKING OF TRANSMISSION. PROVIDED A TEST DRIVE AND IT WAS AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING AND JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON 1.6T WITH THE 7SPD DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION REFUSED TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR PEDAL AFTER STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP. SITUATION: STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION WAITING TO TURN LEFT, PROCEEDED TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOP TO TURN LEFT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AT ~5MPH AND HALF WAY THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN/INTERSECTION THE CAR REFUSED TO RESPOND TO GAS PEDAL INPUT FOR INCREASED SPEED. I TRIED DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL MORE, BUT NO RESPONSE. I COMPLETELY LET OFF THE PEDAL AND THEN RE-APPLIED AND THE CAR STARTED TO RESPOND WITH REGULAR POWER DELIVERY WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERING A BIT. CARS APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION HAD TO WAIT FOR ME TO GET THROUGH, LUCKILY IT WASN'T EXTREMELY BUSY WITH FAST MOVING TRAFFIC. I FEEL THIS 'RANDOM' LACK OF RESPONSE TO THE GAS PEDAL POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE TUCSON HAS HAD THE LATEST T1B DCT UPDATE (16-01-057) APPLIED AT THE DEALER SINCE 3/11/17. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THE CAR HAS GIVEN ME ISSUES ACCELERATING OR CONTINUING TO ACCELERATE. TRANSMISSION ALSO EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS WHEN ASKING TO DOWNSHIFT UNDER 3/4-FULL THROTTLE CONDITIONS - IT OFTEN WILL HALF ENGAGE AND FEEL LIKE IT'S SLIPPING IN GEAR EVENTUALLY APPLYING THE RIGHT GET WITH NO SLIP. THIS CREATES QUESTIONABLE PASSING ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE YOU NEVER REALLY KNOW WHAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO DO WHEN REQUESTING IT TO PERFORM MULTIPLE DOWNSHIFTS UNDER POWER.
THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO WITH 1.6T TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL TO MOVE VEHICLE FORWARD AT TIMES AND HAS CAUSED US TO BE STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION NUMEROUS TIMES EVEN THOUGH VEHICLE SAYS ITS IN DRIVE. RPMS JUST REV TO REDLINE BUT VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE UNTIL YOU LET OFF THE GAS AND LET IT IDLE BACK DOWN TO IDLE ENGINE SPEED. THEN YOU CAN TRY IT AGAIN AND IT DRIVES NORMAL. ONE TIME HAD TO SHUT ENTIRE VEHICLE OFF IN THE INTERSECTION AND RESTART IT TO GET IT TO MOVE.
10-31-2015 PURCHASED VEHICLE. 10-31-2015. 3-2-2016 MILEAGE 1691, RETURNED VEHICLE BACK TO HYUNDAI DEALER FOR ECM ENGINE CONTROL MODULE & TCM TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATES PER TY8 HARD SHIFTING COMPLAINTS. 7-22-2016 CAMPAIGN 145 SECONDARY HOOD LATCH REPAIR. 10-21-2017 CAMPAIGN 149 ECM & TCM SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR DCT PROBLEMS. 5-2-2017 T1B ECM SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR DCT PROBLEMS. SOFTWARE UPDATE IMPROVES TRANSMISSION JERKING FROM 0 TO 15 MPH. 5-21-2017 MILEAGE 12,500, OUTSIDE TEMP 70 DEG F, STRANDED ON INTERSTATE, TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE BUT NOT VEHICLE NOT MOVING. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. HYUNDAI SERVICE FINDS FAULTY FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR AND BAD WIRING HARNESS. REPLACES BOTH. 5-23-2017 PICKED UP VEHICLE AND DROVE NORMAL ON WAY HOME. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WISHED I HAD PURCHASED THE SE MODEL WITH THE 6 SPEED CONVENTIONAL TRANSMISSION AND NOT THE 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. TIME WILL TELL IF THIS LAST REPAIR WILL SOLVE THE NUMEROUS DCT PROBLEMS.
I HAVE HAD MY HYUNDAI FOR ONE YEAR AND 2 MONTHS. ABOUT A FEW MONTHS IN I HAD PROBLEMS WITH AFTER STOPPING I TRIED TO HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD REV UP AND THEN NOT GO ANYWHERE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO HYUNDAI 4 TIMES NOW BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD RECALLS AND TRIED TO GET IT FIXED. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I BROUGHT IT IN IT SEEMED TO BE WORKING FINE. I RECENTLY WENT IN TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY FIXED SOMETHING HOWEVER THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO BE MESSED UP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME WORSE. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHERE IT IS 75 MILES AND MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I HIT THE GAS AND IT WOULD NOT GO. ITS LIKE IT KEPT JUMPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. IT DID THIS FOR THE WHOLE 45 MINS IT TOOK ME TO GET TO WORK ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT EVEN WENT AS LOW AS 50 MILES AN HR IN A 75. I HAVE SEVERAL VIDEOS I TOOK SHOWING IT SLOWING DOWN AND THEN REVING UP AND NOT MOVING WHEN HITTING THE GAS. I WAS SO SCARED IT WOULD STALL OUT ALL TOGETHER ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND I WAS SCARED I WAS GOING TO HIT.
ANY RECALLS ON THE 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION THAT IS IN MY LEMON ?
HORRIBLE ACCELERATION HESITATION...VERY UNSAFE....DEPRESS GAS PEDAL AND NO RESPONSE FOR A FEW SECONDS.
FAULTY DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE WITHOUT WARNING WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES AND WITH DIFFERENT DEGREES OF SEVERITY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND CREATES A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD AS THE ACCELERATION MAY NOT BE THERE WHEN NEEDED. HYUNDAI HAS KNOWN THEIR DCT IS FAULTY AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, INCLUDING 2 RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE. LIVES ARE AT RISK FOR NOT ONLY THE DRIVER BUT OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT JERKED WHEN THE CONTACT REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE JERKING CONDITION WAS A FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A DUAL CLUTCH. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE CLUTCH ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 17,000.
THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE AFTER A STOP, LAGS WHEN ACCELERATING ON CITY STREETS, AND OFTEN STUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING IN TURNS OR ON CITY STREETS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER FOR COMPUTER UPDATES THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM TWICE AND THE PROBLEMS KEEP OCCURRING. RECENTLY, THIS LED TO MY ALMOST BEING HIT WHEN I WAS TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T MOVE THEN SUDDENLY A QUITE A FEW SECONDS LATER IT LURCHED FORWARD. I HAD TO HIT THE BREAKS TO KEEP FROM BEING HIT. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE, BUT THIS TIME A CAR ALMOST HIT ME. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
WHEN THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND THEN SPEEDS UP IN TRAFFIC, TURNING AT STOP SIGNS OR ON STREET LIGHTS, OR PULLING OUT ONTO THE STREET, THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE/FREEZE UP.. THIS RESULTS IN A DELAY OF MOVEMENT FOLLOWED BY THE CAR LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT DOES BEGIN TO DRIVE AGAIN, CREATING A VERY UNSAFE AND TERRIFYING SITUATION. I INITIALLY TOOK IT IN FOR THE RECALL ON OCTOBER 6, 2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT AT TO FIX THE ISSUE TWO MORE TIMES. WHEN I CALLED BACK THE FOURTH TIME I WAS TOLD TO CONTACT HYUNDAI CORPORATE. HYUNDAI CORPORATE HAS ONLY TOLD ME TO NOT DRIVE IN ECO MODE AND TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LEARN ABOUT DRIVING IN THE THREE DIFFERENT MODES. I HAVE ALSO DONE THAT AND BOTH OF THE MEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT LOOKED VERY CONFUSED AND TOLD ME HYUNDAI DOES NOT TELL THEM TO HAVE CUSTOMERS DRIVE IN ANY PARTICULAR MODE. WHAT THEY DID TELL ME WAS THAT GIVEN MY SITUATION AND IT HAPPENING IN ALL THREE MODES I SHOULD USE THE MODES WHICH FEELS THE SAFEST FOR ME. THIS IS IN NO WAY A SOLUTION AS ALL THREE MODES ARE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AND I EXPERIENCE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE MY CAR.
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TURBO. WHEN I FIRST GOT IT I THOUGHT THE GAS PEDAL WAS STICKING BUT COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN "UPDATED " TWICE BUT THE CAR CONTINUES TO CHOKE WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS AND THEN LURCH FORWARD. I BELIEVE I AM GOING TO REAR END SOMEONE. EVERYTIME I VISIT THE DEALERSHIP I COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR SOLUTION IS TO "DRIVE IT LIKE A STICK SHIFT". I BOUGHT AN AUTOMATIC........
DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION. WHILIE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN AN ON-RAMP TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE I PROCEEDED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT THERE WAS NOT ANY ACCELERATION, I KEPT PRESSING AND PRESSING AND NOTHING. SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO A SEMI WOULDN'T RUN OVER ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME. ONCE I REACHED 70MPH IT WAS LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT I PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE ANYMORE SO I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CLEARLY THIS FUNCTION DOES NOT DO IT'S JOB IN REPORTING THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ME AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER TO LOOK AT IT. ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN MY HEAD BECAUSE THIS STARTED WHEN I ONLY HAD THE CAR A MONTH. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THE CAR WILL LUNGE AT LOW SPEEDS AND SORT OF BUCK.
DANGEROUS VEHICLE - SAME THING AS PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE ACCELERATION AND ARE FEARFUL OF GOING INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO ON A HOT DAY THE AIR CONDITION WOULD NOT WORK AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE.
SAME COMPLAINT AS BEFORE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE AT DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VIN NUMBER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE DATES OF THE RECALL I FOUND OUT. I AM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT HIRING A LAWYER BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS TIME AGAIN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY TERRIFYING.
I HAVE HAD TWO EMERGENCY RECALLS DUE TO TRANSMISSION SLIPPING, JERKING AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALMOST STALLING OUT AND ACTCELLERATING ABNORMALLY WITH THE RPM'S RACING. DURING EACH RECALL, THE DEALERSHIP COMPLETES AN UPDATED SOFTWARE ON THE TRANSMISSION AND WHEN I LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP, MY VEHICLE NOTICEABLY DRIVES MUCH SMOOTHER AND NORMAL. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE TUCSON TRANSMISSION PROBLEM BEGINS ALL OVER AGAIN LIKE THE IT ACTED BEFORE. I FEEL THIS 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON ECO 1.6LT SUV IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. WHAT IS MY RECOURSE ON THIS CONTINUOUS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM? IT HAS ABOUT 11K IN MILEAGE. CAN THIS VEHICLE BE LEMON LAW'D AS I HAVE OWNED IT FOR UNDER A YEAR?
THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE DUAL CLUTCH AN AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MY 1.6-LITER TURBO VERSION HESITATES UP TO SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING, THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN TURNING, ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED 1-5MPH. THE TACHOMETER REVS UP BUT THE CAR STAYS STATIONARY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. THE SCARIEST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME.. ADDITIONALLY IF YOU ARE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC INCHING ALONG, IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, YOU'RE AFRAID YOU WILL HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE FOUND WHEN INCHING ALONG 1-5 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THAT I MUST LEAVE 1-2 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THE LURCHING AND HESITATION. SUPPOSEDLY THE RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2016 FIXED THIS ISSUE BUT IT DID NOT. WHEN I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. SO THEY DESIGNED IT TO LURCH AND NOT ACCELERATE? DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF MY CONTACTS WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND CORPORATE, BUT NOT WITH ME TODAY.
VEHICLE HESITATES, JERKS, JUMPS WHEN STARTING UP FROM A SLOW OR STOPPED POSITION. WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC, TURNING LEFT, I HAVE TO BE CERTAIN I HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM IN CASE THE CAR HESITATES. EXTREMELY UNSAFE! I PURCHASED THE CAR 7/29/2016 AND I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE THEN. THE FIRST 4 TIMES I HAD THE CAR IN THEY UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE. ON ONE OCCASION THERE HAD BEEN AN ACTUAL RECALL, HOWEVER IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. ON THE LAST TIME I HAD THE CAR IN, I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO RIDE WITH ME. THE CAR DID HESITATE, JERK COMING OUT OF A STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND HE TOLD ME THAT WAS HOW THE TRANSMISSION WAS SUPPOSED TO ACT AND THAT I NEEDED TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE THE CAR. IT WOULD PREFORM BETTER IN THE SPORT MODE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO REPEAT THE SAME HESITATION ON AN ALMOST DAILY BASIS. I WILL BE CONTACTING HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO SEE IF VEHICLE IS COVERED UNDER LEMON LAW.
I PURCHASED THE CAR IN NOVEMBER 2015. I ALWAYS HAD A SLIGHT JERKING OF THE CAR WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR TAKING OFF FROM A STOP SIGN. I WOULD SAY TOWARDS THE END OF THE SUMMER OF 2016 IT GOT MUCH WORSE. TO THE POINT WHERE I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT IN TRAFFIC. I COMMUTE ALMOST 40 MILES EACH WAY TO WORK EVERY DAY AND MY HEART IS IN MY THROAT EVERY TIME I'M BEHIND THE WHEEL IN TRAFFIC AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET REAR ENDED. HYUNDAI CAME OUT WITH THE RECALL ON THE DCT (DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION) THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAD MY CAR SERVICED FOR THE RECALL IN OCTOBER 2016 AND IT NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. I BROUGHT IT IN TO GET SERVICED AGAIN ON APRIL 1, 2017 FOR THE SAME EXACT RECALL AND HERE I AM AGAIN STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE A INFANT AND I AM TERRIFIED TO HAVE MY FAMILY IN THIS CAR.
WE PURCHASED A 2016 TUCSON LIMITED ON BLACK FRIDAY OF 2016. THIS VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE AUTONOMOUS EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) SAFETY OPTION, AS IS ADVERTISED AND DEMONSTRATED ON THE HYUNDAI WEBSITE WITH VIDEO. WE EXPERIENCED A MINOR FRONT-END COLLISION AT APPROXIMATELY 8-10 MPH WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT A YIELD FROM HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP. BASED ON THE ADVERTISED FUNCTION AND VIDEO, SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE AEB. SUBSEQUENT TO THIS COLLISION, WE BEGAN SEEING INTERMITTENT WARNING NOTIFICATIONS TO CLEAN THE FRONT RADAR EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO DIRT OR ANY OBSTRUCTION. THESE MESSAGES WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY CLEAR AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30-60 SECONDS. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE EVALUATED. THE VEHICLE WAS WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST TWO WEEKS AND AFTER EXTENSIVE TESTING - WHICH INCLUDED MULTIPLE ROAD TESTS, MULTIPLE SIMULATED OBSTRUCTION DETECTION, A PEDESTRIAN CHALLENGE BY THE SERVICE MANAGER, LITERATURE REVIEWS, AND AN ONSITE EVALUATION FROM HYUNDAI ENGINEERING ' AND AFTER ALL OF THESE EVALUATIONS, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS ALSO UNABLE TO TRIGGER THE AEB UNDER ANY CONDITIONS ALTHOUGH THE ELECTRONIC SCAN INDICATES THAT THE RADAR IS OPERATIVE. THEY HAVE RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO US WITH THE STATEMENT THAT IT IS FUNCTIONING AS INTENDED. THE AEB IS NOT DEMONSTRABLY FUNCTIONING, REGARDLESS OF RADAR OPERATION.
AFTER A STOP AND WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS TO GO, THE CAR WILL HESITATE ,SOMETIMES FOR 3 TO 4 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 7 OR 8 TIMES. IT IS A BAD FEELING WHEN THIS HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER AND SERVICE MANGER HAS RODE WITH ME, BUT WE CAN NOT DUPLICATE WHEN HE IS IN THE CAR. I HAVE ABOUT 7,000 MILES ON THE CAR. THE CAR'S COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET TWICE SO FAR, NO HELP YET.
I HAVE ENTERED A COMPLAINT HERE A FEW MONTH AGO. I HAD MY HYUDAI IN THE SHOP FOR 2 MONTHS WAITING FOR COMPUTER UPDATES TO THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER HAVING THE UPDATES, THE CAR SEEMED TO RUN FINE FOR A WHILE. I AM NOW AGAIN HAVING ISSUES WITH HESITATION. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED AGAIN PULLING AWAY FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY ARE SEEING WHEN YOU DRIVE WITH THE CAR IN ECO MODE THAT THERE IS HESITATION. PROBLEM IS, I NEVER USE ANY OF THE MODES.... THEIR ANSWER WELL EITHER CALL HYUDAI, OR DEAL WITH IT............... THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR NOW.
SPORADICALLY WHEN YOU STEP ON GAS TO ACCELERATE, IT WILL JUST "BOG DOWN" AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BOTH AT AROUND 20 MPH OR AROUND 55 MPH. IT WILL NOT RECOVER UNLESS YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR COMPLETELY AND WAIT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. I TRIED ONCE WHEN IT DID THIS, TO JUST KEEP THE ACCELERATOR DOWN TO SEE IF IT WOULD RECOVER. IT DID NOT, IT JUST SLOWED DOWN TILL IT STOPPED.
1.6T TRANSMISSION NOT PERFORMING PROPERLY. CAR JERKS, PAUSES, AND QUITS. HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED WHEN VEHICLE PAUSED. NEARLY MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR WHEN MINE ACCELERATED FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. WHEN TRAVELING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MILES PER HOUR CAR JUST QUIT. HAD TO COAST TO SHOULDER. THEN RESTARTED CAR. HAVE HAD TO DEALERSHIP EIGHT DIFFERENT TIMES. EVEN TOOK TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP. BOTH SAY, "OPERATING AS DESIGNED". ONE SERVICE MANAGER EVEN SAID, "IT'S A POOR DESIGN". MY WIFE WILL NO LONGER DRIVE VEHICLE, AND I AM AFRAID TO MYSELF.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STILL PERIODICALLY HESITATES AND ACCELERATES AFTER RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,204. UPDATED 07/11/17*LJ *CN
TRANSMISSION ACCELERATION LAG/UNPREDICTABILITY AND POOR SHIFTING CAUSES UNSAFE CONDITIONS. PRIMARILY WHEN STARTING FROM STOPPED POSITION BUT WHEN DRIVING ALSO. ENGINE WILL REV BUT VEHICLE WON'T MOVE AND SUDDENLY IT WILL SHIFT INTO GEAR SOMETIMES LUNGING FORWARD.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AT 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,700.
WHEN I ACCELERATE THERE IS NO POWER FOR 1-2 SECONDS, AND THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS THE SLIGHT DELAY EXPERIENCED AS THE CAR CHANGES GEARS. IT IS A COMPLETE LACK OF POWER EVEN WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. VERY ALARMING. THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT OVER THE PAST TWO MONTHS OF USE (1ST TIME IN JANUARY - LATER TIMES IN FEB. AND MARCH--WINTER IN THE MIDATLANTIC REGION). HAPPENS AT SLOWER SPEEDS (ACCELERATING AT 25-30MPH TO CROSS LANES OF CITY TRAFFIC), AND IT HAPPENS AT HIGHER SPEEDS (ACCELERATING AT 50-65MPH TO MERGE INTO INTERSTATE HIGHWAY TRAFFIC OR OVERTAKE A SLOWER CAR IN SAME LANE ON INTERSTATE). BECAUSE I DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR VERY OFTEN, AND MOST OF MY TRIPS ARE AT SLOW SPEEDS FOR SHORT DISTANCES, I INITIALLY OVERLOOKED/DISMISSED THE PROBLEM. BUT IS IT BECOMING MORE NOTICEABLE (LONGER PERIOD WITHOUT ACCELERATION POWER), MORE FREQUENT (OCCURS MORE OFTEN WHEN USING THE CAR) AND DANGEROUS (CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE, ANY TIME AND AT ANY SPEED). I SUSPECT I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM LATER THAN OTHER TUCSON CAR OWNERS BECAUSE I DO NOT DRIVE MUCH. I'VE OWNED THE CAR FOR 11 MONTHS AND IT HAS 3,700 MILES ON IT. PROBLEMS STARTED SHOWING UP AROUND 3,500 MILES.
THE CAR WAS PURCHASED JUNE 1, 2016. FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY FROM A STOP. THE CAR REVS AND DOESN'T MOVE THEN ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT TAKES OFF. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IT GOING TO HAPPEN. AND YOU NEVER KNOW HOW FAST IT IS GOING TO GO ONCE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES THAT I HAVE FELT LIKE I COULD HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE THE CAR "TAKES OFF" ON ITS OWN. I AM HESITANT TO TAKE OFF IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO ENGAGE CORRECTLY. THEY SAY IT IS THE DUEL CLUTCH CAUSING THE ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. 10/7/16 RECALL 16-01-038, DCT LOGIC UPDATE OPERATION 61C077R0, 16-01-057, 11/18/16 DCT UPDATE OPERATION 60C095RI, ALSO RESET ADATT VALVE, 2/10/17 TOOK THE CAR IN BECAUSE STILL HAVING SAME ISSUE, WAS TOLD "THAT'S HOW THE CAR DRIVES". I HAVE ALSO REPORTED THE SITUATION TO HYUNDAI, CASE #10008011 AND THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION BUT HAVEN'T GOTTEN BACK TO ME. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE THE CAR ON EXTENDED TRIPS BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT OR EVEN WORSE IF THIS SITUATION IS NOT RESOLVED OR THESE CARS AREN'T TAKEN OFF THE ROAD.
DEALER HAS TRIED TO FIX CAR THREE TIMES. AT TIMES CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL.ENGINE RPM WILL INCREASE BUT CAR WILL NOT MOVE. VERY DANGEROUS..I TAKE MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL AND THIS SCARES THE CRAP OUT OF ME.ESPECIALLY IN INTERSECTIONS.OTHER TIMES TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND OR JUMPS OUT OF GEAR.A COMPLAINT HAS BEEN MADE BY ME TO HYUNDAI CORPORATE ON FEB 22 2016 I HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE CAR WAS NEW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FROM SUDDEN BRAKING, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SOFTWARE RELATED TO THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V280000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,012.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,320.
SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER 2015, THE VEHICLE HAS HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING AT LOWER SPEEDS AND ACCELERATING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. INITIALLY, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I JUST NEEDED TO GET USED TO DRIVING A TURBO. I HAVE HAD ALL THREE UPDATES DONE TO THE DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. AFTERWARDS, IN JANUARY 2017, WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY, THE VEHICLE DROPPED INTO NEUTRAL BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. THE RPMS REVVED UP TO 4, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN LOSS OF FORWARD MOMENTUM. BECAUSE I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, THIS PRESENTED A SAFETY HAZARD TO ME. THE DEALERSHIP RE-PERFORMED THE DECEMBER 2016 UPDATE THE FIRST PART OF FEBRUARY 2017 AND CAUSED A FULL SYSTEM FAILURE REQUIRING MANUAL REPROGRAMMING. IT THEN RELEASED THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. AFTER TWO DAYS, THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. I WAS AGAIN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND AFRAID ABOUT BEING REAR-ENDED. WHEN THE CAR REENGAGED AFTER THESE FAILURES, IT THEN SURGED FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND THEREFORE UNPREDICTABLE AND UNSAFE. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME IT HAS NOT BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THUS HAS NOTHING TO FIX. ADDITIONALLY, IT HAS BEEN IN TOUCH WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE WHOSE POSITION IS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH THE DECEMBER 2016 UPDATE. AND, SINCE THE DEALER HASN'T DUPLICATED IT, THEY HAVE NO FURTHER OBLIGATION TO ME. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, HYUNDAI CORPORATE KNOWS OF NO OTHER CAR IN THE NATION STILL HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AFTER THE DECEMBER 2016 UPDATE. IN ADDITION TO MY COMPLAINT, PLEASE REVIEW NHSTA 10948958, 10939802, 10938874, 10939196, AND 10946886 TO TEST THE CREDIBILITY OF ITS ASSERTION.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT MAY REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED, BUT FAILED TO REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
WHEN MY VEHICLE IS IN TRAFFIC OR IN A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND I HAVE TO STOP, WHEN I ACCELERATE TO MOVE THEY WON'T MOVE AFTER I INCREASE THE REVOLUTIONS OR AFTER FEW SECONDS. ITS FEELS LIKE THE CLUTCH DON'T ENGAGE PROPERLY.
ISSUE WITH THE DCT TRANSMISSION ON THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON SPORT. AFTER THE FIRST UPDATE THE ISSUE SEEMED TO HAPPEN LESS OFTEN WHICH WAS COMPLETED BACK IN SEPTEMBER. NEW UPDATE IN JANUARY HAS MADE THE ISSUE MORE PREVALENT AGAIN THOUGH NOT AS BAD AS WHEN ORIGINALLY BOUGHT. ISSUE IS NOTICEABLE HESITATION WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY IF TURNING FROM A STOP OR PULLING OUT QUICKLY. RPS WILL REV AND THEN CAR WILL FINALLY MATCH RPMS AND TAKE OFF SUDDENLY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A FOUR WAY STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERY DAY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES, BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.
VEHICLE STALLS AND DEVELOPS A "NO GO" SITUATION. THE ENGINE REVS, BUT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. IT MOSTLY OCCURS WHILE PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, OR AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. IT ALSO HAS A VIBRATION, AND JERKS AND BUCKS AT LOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT. I HAVE BEEN STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC MANY TIMES. IT IS A VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS CONDITION. BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE PROBLEM. I CONTINUE TO SEEK A RESOLUTION THROUGH HYUNDAI.
HAS AN ECO BOOST/SPORT MODE TRANSMISSION. WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP, SUCH AS AT A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN OR EVENACCELERATING FROM A SLOW DOWN THERE IS A LAG IN THE ENGAGEMENT OF GEARS THAT CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO "STALL" IN THE INTERSECTION. IT REVS AND FEELS AS IF THERE IS POWER, THE TRANSMISSION JUST DOESN'T ENGAGE. IT CREATES AN INABILITY TO MOVE THE VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE ENTERING TRAFFIC. THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO, IF NOT IDENTICAL TO THE TRANSMISSION RECALL ANNOUNCED IN 8/30/2016 FOR, I BELIEVE, THE SAME TRANSMISSION IN OTHER MODELS OF THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON.
ROUGH IDLE, ALSO WHILE STOPPED IN DRIVE ENGINE SEEMS TO RACE AND CAR FEELS AS IF DIDNT HAVE FOOT ON BRAKE IT WOULD RACE FOWARD
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK. I DROVE INTO IN THE GARAGE AND PARKED THE NIGHT BEFORE WITHOUT INCIDENT. HEARD A SOUND OF A FAN OR SMALL MOTOR RUNNING SOMEWHERE AROUND THE VEHICLE BEFORE I WENT IN FOR THE NIGHT, BUT COULDN'T DETERMINE IF IT WAS FROM THE VEHICLE OR FROM THE GARAGE HEATER UNIT. THE NEXT MORNING HYUNDAI TUCSON IS COMPLETELY DEAD. WHY?
HAD RECALL 16-01-057 PERFORMED AT LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER IN HACKETTSTOWN AND SINCE THEN HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH IT NOT MOVING WHEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT LIKE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND THEN IT GRABS AND ALMOST CAUSES ACCIDENT..DEALER SAYS THAT RECALL WOULD NOT MAKE IT DO THIS AND WHEN THEY DRIVE SAY THERE ARE NO ISSUES.THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER PEOPLE ON INTERNET HAVING SAME ISSUE, SO NOT SOMETHING I AM MAKING UP. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR
I PURCHASED A HYUNDAI TUCSON IN SEPEMBER OF 2016 NEW. I NOTICED RIGHT AWAY THAT I COULD NOT SEE VERY WELL AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE AIMED AT THE GROUND 2-3 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THE BUMPER. WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON YOU CAN SEE THE DEFINITE LINE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARK APPROX 4-5 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF THE BUMPER. WHEN CARS ARE APPROACHING ON AN UNDIVIDED ROAD, THE VISIBILITY IS REDUCED EVEN MORE FROM THE GLARE OF THE ONCOMING LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD 2 CLOSE CALLS WHERE I ALMOST HIT A PEDESTRIAN WALKING ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD WITH DARK CLOTHES ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO AUTOFAIR HYUNDAI IN MANCHESTER, NH ON TWO OCCASIONS TO HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS ADJUSTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I QUOTE THE RESPONSE,"CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE US TO ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS, STATES HE CAN NOT SEE AT NIGHT, CAN SEE IF WE CAN ADJUST THEM, MISC PER STATE LAW WE CANNOT ADJUST THE HEADLIGHTS ABOVE WHERE THEY ARE CURRENTLY. 6686 ISP" THE INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY'S EVALUATIONS SAYS "MANUFACTURERS AREN'T PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION TO THE ACTUAL ON-ROAD PERFORMANCE OF THE BASIC EQUIPMENT,WE'RE OPTIMISTIC THAT IMPROVEMENTS WILL COME QUICKLY NOW THAT WE'VE GIVEN AUTOMAKERS SOMETHING TO STRIVE FOR." FOR 2017, VEHICLES WILL NEED GOOD OR ACCEPTABLE HEADLIGHTS IN ORDER TO QUALIFY FOR THE INSTITUTE'S HIGHEST AWARD, TOP SAFETY PICK+.THAT'S REAL NICE OF THEM. WHAT HAPPENS TO MY 2016 MODEL? I WANT MY VEHICLE RECALLED AND REPAIRED. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO WAIT AND BE FORCED TO BUY A 2017 MODEL IN ORDER TO HAVE A SAFE CAR AT NIGHT?
COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER/ACCELERATION FROM TAKING OFF. ALMOST CAUSING SEVERE WRECK. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. DCT TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND HAS BEEN SERVICED/UPDATED 3 TIMES. TRANSMISSION ALSO HESITATES ON TAKE OFF AND IN UPPER GEARS. VERY SCARY AND UNSAFE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V348000(STRUCTURE: BODY) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *TR
UNDER COLD CONDITIONS, THE REAR HOOD DOES NOT CLOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHEN TEMPERATURES GO BELOW ZERO. WHEN TEMPERATURES GO INTO THE 30'S F, IT STARTS WORKING AGAIN. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH THE REAR HOOD OPEN AT BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES.
TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SOMETIMES FAILS TO ENGAGE WHEN STOPPING AND ACCELERATING. ON HIGHWAY WHEN MOVING TO PASS THE RPM'S WENT TO REDLINE AND VEHICLE DID NOT WANT TO MOVE FORWARD. OVERHEATING WARNINGS IN CITY TRAFFIC. VEHICLE LOSES POWER SOMETIMES WHEN TRANSMISSION IS CONFUSED WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. DCT IN THIS VEHICLE IS HORRIBLE EVEN WITH 3RD UPDATE FROM HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI SAYS "NO PROBLEM" WITH VEHICLE. *TR
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: UPDATE 1/4/2017: UNFORTUNATELY, THE ISSUES THAT I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE HAVE STILL NOT BEEN CORRECTED. AS OF TODAY, THE HYUNDAI TUCSON THAT I SIGNED FOR STILL HAS SOME TYPE OF DYSFUNCTIONAL DUAL CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT IN TO PUGI HYUNDAI (DOWNERS GROVE, IL) AND I SPECIFICALLY STATED THESE CONCERNS AND THAT I WOULD LIKE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED FOR THIS ISSUE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED - IT WAS NOT. AGAIN, I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN TO PUGI HYUNDAI FOR THE SAME ISSUE IN NOVEMBER OF 2016 TO ADDRESS THE SAME ISSUES. ONCE AGAIN, I WAS TOLD THAT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT AND WAS OK. UNFORTUNATELY, THE CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ISSUE HAS BECOME WORSE. NOW, WHEN GIVING THE CAR GAS THE ENGINE WILL MAKE A REVVING NOISE AND WILL NOT MOVE. THEN THE VEHICLE WILL JERK AND SPEED UP QUICKLY. I CALLED PUGI HYUNDAI TODAY AND SPOKE WITH [XXX] (THE SERVICE MANAGER) ABOUT THIS ISSUE. HE TOLD ME THAT I NEVER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR THESE SPECIFIC ISSUES (THIS IS UNTRUE AND WAS NEVER DOCUMENTED BY PUGI HYUNDAI) AND COULD NOT HAVE AN ENGINEER TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAD GONE THROUGH THE BASIC PROTOCOLS. 1. IT WOULD BE GREAT IF HYUNDAI COULD HAVE MY ACCOUNT NOTATED PROPERLY FOR THE DATES OF 8/27/2016 AND NOVEMBER OF 2016 THAT I DID BRING THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT INSPECTED FOR CLUTCH/TRANSMISSION ISSUES. 2. TO ALSO HAVE A HYUNDAI ENGINEER TAKE A LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I HAVE A 2016 TUSCON TURBO LIMITED WHICH I PURCHASED IN AUGUST OF 2015. I HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE I OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE SUV DUAL TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO IN GEAR WHEN YOU DO A ROLLING STOP (UNDER 4-0 MPR) OR FULL STOP. TWO THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU ACCELERATE, NOT PUMPING THE GAS PEDAL AS HYUNDAI STATES, EITHER THE SUV RPM SHOOT UP TO OVER 3K RPM'S AND IT DOES NOT GO INTO GEAR OR YOU HEAR A LOUD METAL GRINDING SOUND WHILE THE SUV COAST FORWARDS. SINCE THIS HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS HAPPEN IS A CITY ENVIRONMENT. I HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED THE SUV IN AUGUST 2015. MY HYUNDAI HAS THE 2 SOFTWARE AND 1 RECALL UPDATES UPTO DECEMBER 2016
THE CAR JERKS WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP. IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS TAPPING AND RELEASING THE BRAKE. THE PROBLEM IS WORSE WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP GOING UPHILL.
DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL: I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY TUCSON A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE (JULY 2016). IT'S A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING, ACCELERATING, AND HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO BE LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES. THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN IOWA SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ISSUES I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE BUT NO FIX. IT'S THE DCT (DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION) RECALL; I RECEIVED THIS IN THE MAIL A MONTH OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY SOLUTION THERE IS TO "FIX" THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE PROBLEM IS AN UPDATE! HYUNDAI SAID THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT IN AS LONG AS I'M HAVING THESE ISSUES TO UPDATE. THIS IS A BAND-AID. THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX AND I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, I CAN'T ACCELERATE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION FROM THE DCT. THIS HAPPENS NOT ONLY WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, BUT ALSO IN RURAL AREAS LIKE THE HIGHWAY, MAIN CITY STREETS, AND NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY FROM A STOP OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE A FAMILY, AND THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS PURCHASE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES; THERE IS NOTHING SAFE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I WAS SOLD A DEFUNCT CAR AND AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT HYUNDAI SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE MAKING. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED REDUCED INDEPENDENTLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.
WEEKS FOLLOWING SERVICE AT HYUNDAI DEALER TO HAVE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628 REQUIRING REPROGRAMMING OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WE HAVE HAD 2 (TWO) NEAR MISS COLLISIONS DUE TO CAR HESITATING DURING TURN FROM A STOP AND STRAIGHT FROM STOP SIGN. ONE; DURING LEGAL LEFT TURN ACROSS 2 ONCOMING LANES, CAR STARTED TO ROLL THAN LOSE POWER WHILE BROADSIDE TO TRAFFIC. ONCOMING TRAFFIC FORCED TO STOP UNTIL SEVERAL COMPLETE CYCLES OF THE ACCELERATOR DID GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AGAIN. ENGINE DID NOT STOP. SECOND AT INTERSECTION FROM COMPLETE STOP. STANDARD ACCELERATION APPLIED, VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL (FROM RELEASE OF BRAKE) THEN STALLED. ACCELERATOR WAS REPEATEDLY CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE. CAR BEHIND FORCED TO STOP SUDDENLY MISSING REAR BUMPER. VEHICLE ALSO HAD INSTANCE OF A POWER TRAIN LOSS FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND THEN SUDDEN AND POWERFUL JOLT DURING ACCELERATION (ESTIMATE SPEED RANGE ABOUT 40 MPH) ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM AN ON RAMP. DESPITE SERVICE TO ADDRESS RECALL NOTICE, VEHICLE SHUDDERS MORE DURING ROLLING STARTS AND STOPS. DIFFICULT IN SLOW MOVING AREAS INCLUDING CAR FERRIES TYPICAL TO REGIONAL COMMUTE. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER (DOCUMENTED) FOLLOWING INCIDENT 1 AND ON RAMP JOLT. THEY OBSERVE THE CONTINUING SHUDDER. THEY HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE FOR TEST RIDES BUT DO NOT SEE THE STALL THAT IS SPORADIC. NOTE, INCIDENT 2 AS DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK FOLLOWING SERVICE TO OBSERVE THIS DEFECT. HYUNDAI SERVICE AWARE OF SHUDDER AND UNABLE TO RESOLVE AND CONCLUDE "THEY ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE ENGINEERS." THEY HAND OUT A DOCUMENT EXPLAINING THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO NORMALIZE THESE OCCURRENCES. *TR
I TOOK MY SON TO SCHOOL ON THURSDAY MORNING 12/8/2016. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TO PULL OUT ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A LINE OF CARS COMING BUT THEY WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY I THOUGHT I COULD GO. I STARTED TO GO BUT CHANGED MY MIND AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GO BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE REVVED WAY UP AND THE CAR PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY VERY SLOWLY. NOW IN A PANIC, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHED IT DOWN AGAIN. THANKFULLY, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND TOOK OFF. THERE WAS THEN A STRANGE SMELL IN THE CAR WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE FROM THE CLUTCHES SLIPPING.
I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. I NOTICE THAT IT OFTEN REVVED UP TO 5000 RPM AT 2-5MILES AND WOULD NOT MOVE THEN SUDDENLY LURCH. THIS HAPPENED FOR MONTHS, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY BRUSHED OFF. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, I PRESSED THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ONLY REVVED THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT LAUNCHED AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. THEN TODAY, IT LITERALLY WENT DEAD?DEAD! WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON FORDHAM RD (A BUSY STREET THE BRONX) THE CAR SLOWLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THEN START UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!! SOME ONE COULD HAVE RUN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX THE DCT BUT THAT'S CRAP. HYUNDAI WHO HAS DONE NOTHING AND THEY KNOW THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY 2 YR GODDAUGHTER IN THIS THING. I THINK HYUNDAI IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. THEY NEED TO STOP SELLING THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY AND REFUND EVERYONE'S MONEY. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PUTTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000. UPDATED 02/07/02017*CT CONSUMER STATED CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE DEPT 3 TIMES UPDATED 7/12/18*JB
INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION ISSUES. UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE CAR STARTS TO GO BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDELL TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. AS WAS THE CASE THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE DID IT, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH.
VEHICLE CONTNUES UNDER IN MOTION CITY STREEET DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT MOVE IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY.EXACTLY AS RECALLED FOR OTHER 2016 TUSCON BUT THIS DOES NOT MATCH VIN DATABASE. DEALER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND STATES THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN WRONG QUOTING THE DRIVERS HAND BOOK WHICH BASICALLY SAYS THE VEHICLE NOT USABLE IN STOP AND GO CONDITIONS.THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMULAR COMPLAINTS OF 2016 TUSCON THAT DID NOT FIT IN VIN NHTSA OR HYUNDAI DATABASE, OR CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME PROBLEM AFTER RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED OR DEALERS DENYING THERE WAS ANY RECALL.
THE VEHICLE IS HYUNDAI'S NEW FUEL CELL MODEL. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER 7 MONTHS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THE LAST OCCASION, NOVEMBER 7, 2016, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE NEAR THE FAST LANE ON THE GLENDALE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 9:30 AM. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND, SINCE THERE IS NO LEFT HAND SHOULDER, I HAD TO COAST ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC TO TRY TO REACH AN EXIT RAMP. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I GAVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER A NUDGE TO THE RIGHT. I HEARD A SLIGHT MECHANICAL SOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGED AND I REGAINED FULL POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD NEARLY A FULL TANK OF FUEL AT THE TIME. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN THE APRIL/MAY TIME FRAME WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (ABOUT 1/2 TANK OF FUEL) AND THEN AGAIN IN EARLY JULY, 2016. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE GOLDEN STATE FREEWAY NEAR GRIFFITH PARK (NOT SURE OF THE FUEL THIS TIME). BOTH TIMES, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT COASTED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BUT THESE TWO TIMES -- AFTER LESS THAN A MINUTE -- THE POWER REENGAGED, OR SELF CORRECTED, ON ITS OWN. THE NOVEMBER 7TH INCIDENT LASTED SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THE ENGINE DID NOT SELF CORRECT. ON NOVEMBER 8TH, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO KEYES HYUNDAI IN VAN NUYS. SINCE IT HAD BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS AND SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES SINCE THE SECOND INCIDENT, I WAS NOT SURPRISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER, AND, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE DEFECT, HAVE ASKED HYUNDAI TO CANCEL THE LEASE ON THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO RISK MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE.
CAR STALLS/HESITATES AND WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP AND STALLS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR ON HILLS/ELEVATIONS. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, LOCAL AND CITY STREETS AND THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM SO CONCERNED THAT MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND I AM GOING TO GET IN SOME TYPE OF AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY IT IS NOT A SERIOUS OR DEADLY ONE! HYUNDAI DEALER HAS BEEN INFORMED BY ME OF THIS ISSUE AND JUST SIMPLY INSISTS THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE DCT OF THE VEHICLE!!! THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO WHAT FEELS TO BE A DEADLY ISSUE FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.
I JUST PURCHASED A HYUNDAI TUCSON AND IT'S NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I'M SCARED THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND MAY CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE JERKED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,000. UPDATED 01/10/2017*CT UPDATED 09/27/2017*JS INCIDENT DATE AND PURCHASE DATE THE SAME ON EQ. CONSUMER HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATION. CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS REPEATEDLY PRESSED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. UPDATED 7/3/18*JB *TR
HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE PARKING THE ACCELERATOR JUST TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN IT STOP BECAUSE IT HIT A CONCERT WALL./REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID TO JUST FIX.I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ONLY ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WELL CAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST BUT I STILL HAD THE ACCIDENT. GOT IN TOUCH WITH THERE CORP OFFICE THEY CALL ME TOOK ALL MY INFORMATION AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM NOBODY. I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE DRIVING. *TR
7 SPEED DUEL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN AFTER RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC LEAVING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FOR A SHORT TIME. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL NOW ALSO LOSE POWER AND SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR ON ITS OWN CAUSING SUDDEN DECELERATION. VEHICLE WILL ALSO CHUG FORWARD WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS AFTER ALL OF THE RECALLS AND REPROGRAMMING OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE. WE HAVE NOW HAD THREE TIMES THAT WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT, WHERE OTHER CARS HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID A BAD ACCIDENT AND THREE OTHER TIME I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GO FROM AFTER THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WOULD CHANGE AND THEN STOP MOVING. THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IS A DEATH TRAP AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED! THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT CONSISTENT BUT THEY ARE REAL AND DANGEROUS! WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE OUR NEW VEHICLE! IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND HESITATED BEFORE MOVING FORWARD. IN ADDITION, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AS THE RPMS INCREASED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20.
I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THE HYUNDAI TUCSON CONNECTS WITH CARPLAY. TURNS OUT ONLY THE EXPENSIVE MODELS DO. HYUNDAI INSTALLS A SMALL COMMUNICATION SCREEN ON THE ECO, WHICH IS THE MODEL I BOUGHT, THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED TO RECEIVE CARPLAY DATA. WHAT IS NEEDED TO ENABLE THE SAFETY FEATURE? WILL YOU REQUIRE HYUNDAI TO ENABLE THE CAR'S COMMUNICATION DEVICE; THAT IS, TO ENABLE CARPLAY OR TO REPLACE THE INSTALL WITH A RECEIVER AND SCREEN THAT WILL WORK?
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING GARAGE, THE TRUNK OPENED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000. UPDATED 01/11/2017*CT UPDATED 6/26/18*JB
WHILE IN TRAFFIC SLOWLY GOING UP A HILL ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR SIGNALED "TRANSMISSION TEMP. IS HIGH! STOP SAFELY." I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE STOPPED TRAFFIC, THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR TURNED OFF! I WAS STUCK UPHILL WITH THOSE AROUND ME HONKING TO MOVE THE CAR. AFTER SOME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND MOVE FORWARD. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER A FEW HOURS, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY HYUNDAI THAT THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND THE INFORMATION IS IN MY MANUAL. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT SAY THE CAR WILL TURN OFF ON ITS OWN! WHY DIDN'T THE DEALER TELL ME THIS?! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAYED ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628 HAS BEEN APPLIED (REPROGRAMMING OF THE DCT MODULE).
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000.
MY TUCSON SLOWS DOWN WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES ON MY TRIP FROM INDIANA TO COLORADO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I SAW AN UPCOMING RECALL WHICH HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIX FOR YET, BUT IT APPEARS TO ONLY BE ON SPECIFIC ONES WITH DUAL CLUTCH. I DON'T THINK MINE HAS THAT, BUT IT DEFINITELY HAS SAFETY ISSUES AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH IT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY NEW VEHICLE ALSO WHICH I CANNOT GET ASSISTANCE WITH AND HAVE FILED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, MULTIPLE PLACES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD STALL. AFTER APPROXIMATELY THIRTY SECONDS, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMALLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED DAILY. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND RECOMMENDED USING A DIFFERENT TYPE OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,904.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,100.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE BEFORE SUDDENLY SURGING FORWARD, HESITATING, AND BUCKING. ALSO, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATED AND THE "STOP SAFELY TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE HIGH" MESSAGE DISPLAYED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED HESITATION AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,291.
I TOOK MY 2016 TUCSON INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/23/2016 TO ADDRESS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL. PRIOR TO THAT, MY TUCSON WOULD RANDOMLY JERK, NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE RPMS WOULD GO HAYWIRE. NOW, 10/12/2016, AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S HAPPENED ONCE IN SLOW TRAFFIC, AND JUST THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS TIME HOWEVER, THE TUCSON'S RPMS WENT FROM THE 2X AREA TO THE 4X AREA WITHOUT PROVOCATION, CAUSING THE TUCSON TO DRASTICALLY ACCELERATE, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE. THIS WAS WITHOUT ME MANUALLY ACCELERATING. AT THIS POINT, I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATHTRAP AND AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED THAT HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY CORRECT THIS ISSUE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED ABNORMALLY AND THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A HESITATION BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DOUBLE CLUTCH IN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,659.
THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO TAKE OFF IN THIRD GEAR, SHAKING EVERY TIME AND STALLING SOMETIME. IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT RED LIGHTS AND HAS STALLED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE 4 UPDATES TRYING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT IT STILL OCCURS. ALL MANAGEMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AND AGREE THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AS A DEMONSTRATION TO ME AND THE VEHICLE DIES OUT EVERY TIME. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL DUE OUT ON OCTOBER 28, 2016 WAS ALREADY DONE ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 AND DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR. THERE HAS BEEN PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD IF YOU WERE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 WHILE IT WAS THERE TWO RECALLS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. ONE WAS RECALL 149 WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER WAS FOR A HOOD LATCH. SINCE THIS SERVICE WORK THERE HAVE BEEN ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I BEGAN KEEPING A LOG BEFORE THE LAST SERVICE WORK. SAME TYPE PROBLEMS AS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF. TODAY, MY WIFE CALLED ME IN A PANIC ABOUT THE CAR. SHE HAD TRIED TO PULL OUT ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR REVVED UP BUT DID NOT MOVE. SHE SAID THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD VERY ABRUPTLY SO MUCH SO THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I CALLED TAMERON HYUNDAI AND SPOKE WITH RANDALL IN SERVICE. I EXPLAINED THE INCIDENTS THAT HAD HAPPENED SINCE THE RECALL. HE ASKED IF WE COULD BRING THE CAR IN TODAY. WE COULD NOT DUE TO WORK REASONS. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL DO OR SAY. I TOO AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,366.
TRANSMISSION HAS A HARSH DELAYED SHIFT ON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,330.
TRANSMISSION IF FAULTY. GEARS DO NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. WHEN STOPPED, THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY. CAR STALLS OR JUMPS AT RANDOM TIMES - USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS - DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. HAVE HAD RECALL COMPUTER FIX COMPLETED AT DEALER - DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. ISSUE WITH THIS EVERY DAY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO OPERATE. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED DECELERATION AND STALLED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,300.
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.
BRAND NEW 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED AWD EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS AT 350 MILE ODOMETER READING WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION CAUSING 'FALSE NEUTRAL' WITH INABILITY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP WHILE IN 'DRIVE' AND HESITATION, AND SHUDDERING WHEN IN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR. IN RANDOM OCCASIONS, ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP RESULTS IN THE VEHICLE RPMS INCREASING WITH NO MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP APPLIED A SOFTWARE FIX FOR THE DTC BASED ON A SAFETY RECALL WHICH RESOLVED THE 'FALSE NEUTRAL' ISSUE. HOWEVER, UNPREDICTABLE HESITATION AND SHUDDERING STILL PERSIST AT 3,000 MILES. VEHICLE ACCELERATION BEHAVES UNRELIABLY AND CAN BEST BE DESCRIBED AS INDICATIVE OF A 16 YEAR OLD LEARNING TO DRIVE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION FOR THE FIRST TIME. SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SMOOTHLY WITH NO ISSUE. OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND SHUDDERS AS IF THE VEHICLE WERE ATTEMPTING TO START IN 2ND GEAR WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE WANTS TO STALL, AND THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATES. STILL OTHER TIMES THE VEHICLE HESITATES WITH NO MOVEMENT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED AND THEN JUMPS FORWARD AS IF 'POPPING THE CLUTCH' AND THEN ACCELERATES VERY AGGRESSIVELY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (SEPT 22, 2016) AND THEY WERE ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE BEHAVIOR AND INFORMED ME THAT IS THE 'NORMAL OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION.' THE PROBLEM WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IS THE LACK OF CONFIDENCE WHEN NEEDING TO PULL OUT IN FRONT OF TRAFFIC. AT ALL TIMES YOU MUST GIVE YOURSELF A MINIMUM OF 2 SECONDS DISTANCE BEFORE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE YOU SIMPLY DO NOT KNOW IF THE TRANSMISSION WILL RELIABLY ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL PREDICTABLY ACCELERATE. I SHOULD NOTE THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS PAST 10-15 MPH, IT ACCELERATES AND PERFORMS RELIABLY AND THE TRANSMISSION IS RESPONSIVE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS INTERMITTENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 615.
MULTIPLE ISSUES. MAIN ISSUE FOR NOW- PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. MAJOR HESITATION. HESITATES FROM A STOP AND WHEN ALREADY DRIVING. TODAY IT SHOOK AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE I'VE HAD IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES AND HAS ALREADY HAD THE THROTTLE BODY AND REAR SUSPENSION REPLACED. IT ALSO HAD THE HOOD LATCH REPLACED DUE TO A RECALL AND IT WAS LOSING COOLANT APPARENTLY THROUGH THE CAP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT FAILED TO SHIFT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE. THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,153.
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.
SEVERE HESITATION ON TAKE OFF. WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC IN TOWN, THEN ACCELERATING TUSCON JERKS SEVERELY ON TAKE OFF. PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY ON TO STREET IT HESITATES. DEALERSHIP WHERE TUSCON WAS PURCHASED DID UPGRADE ON COMPUTER CHIP FOR TRANSMISSION BUT UPGRADE HAS NOT HELPED.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100. UPDATED 01/06/2017*CT
TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. UPDATED 01/11/2017*CT
TL* THE CONTACT IS A LAWYER FOR A YOUNG WOMAN WHO LEASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ODOR INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT BECAME DISORIENTED AND DROVE HOME. THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED TROUBLE SPEAKING AND COORDINATING WORDS. THE CONTACT WENT TO THE HOSPITAL AND WAS DIAGNOSED AS HAVING SOME TOXIN AFFECT. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND IT DISPLAYED HIGH LEVELS OF AN UNKNOWN TOXIN INSIDE THE CABIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 1,000 MILES. UPDATED 10/25/16 *BF *TR
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
THE DUAL CLUTCH MANUAL TRANSMISSION "FREEZES" IN NEUTRAL EVEN THOUGH THE CAR IS IN DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. THE ENGINE IS ALSO VERY BALKY AND SLUGGISH ON ACCELERATION.
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.
ON AUGUST 7, 2016 TRAVELING SOUTH ON I 44 JUST NORTH OF THE WILLIS EXIT TRAFFIC SLOWED DOWN I DECELERATED AND THEN IS TRAFFIC PICKED UP I PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE TRANSMISSION. TOP SPEED WAS 20 MILES AN HOUR I LET OFF THE EXCELERATOR PUSHED AGAIN HAD SOME POWER BUT NOT FULL POWER. TWO CARS COMING UP BEHIND ME DOING 65 TO 75 MILES AN HOUR HAD TO DETOUR AROUND ME ONE ON THE RIGHT ONE ON THE LEFT. CHUCK WILLIS EXIT STOP AT STOP LIGHT PUSHED ON ACCELERATOR NO POWER. LET IT SIT FOR ONE HOUR THEN DROVE IT WITH NO APPARENT PROBLEM. ON AUGUST 8 RETURNING TO DALLAS PULLED OFF OF I 45 AT CORSICANA SLOWED DOWN FOR TWO TRUCKS ON THE SIDE OF THE ACCESS ROAD. WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN IT WOULD GO 20 MILES AN HOUR. HAD CAR TOWED TO DALLAS TO VAN HYUNDAI. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS A COMPUTER CARD THEY HAD A CONFIRMED FIX. ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6 ON JOSEY LANE IN CARROLLTON TEXAS I SLOW DOWN TO LET A CAR INTO MY LANE THEN TRIED TO ACCELERATE AN EXPERIENCED SAME PROBLEMS AS BEFORE. HAVING IT TOWED TO HELP FINES HON DAY IN PLANO TEXAS ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6.THE FIRST PROBLEM THE CAR HAD 10,635 MILES ON IT. THE THIRD EPISODE IT HAD 10,968 MILES ON IT.
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.
VEHICLE WILL HESITATE WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. TRANSMISSION WILL ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE PERIODICALLY OWN ITS OWN AND RPM"S WILL REV. AFTER HESITATION CAR WILL SURGE FORWARD AND JERK YOUR NECK. I HAVE HAD TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS TO DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE. THE PROBLEMS HAPPEN RANDOMLY. HAS BEEN BACK TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THIS. NOW THEY SAY THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN THIS CAR IF DRIVEN BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE NOW SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM ONLINE.THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN MOTION ON ALL STREETS AND HIGHWAY. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE IF THE VEHICLE IS IN NORMAL, ECO OR SPORT MODE. EVERY TIME THE DEALER HAS IT IT SEEMS TO FIX IT TEMPORALLY BUT THEN THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO RE-ACCRUE. I CAN NOT IMAGINE WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN THE ROADS GET BAD IN THE WINTER.
THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE CONCERNED THE COMPUTERIZED FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT SYNC MY PHONE TO THE CAR AND OTHER ISSUES . THE SECOND SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE RAINY MORNING. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW LIGHTS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. IT FINALLY JERKED AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THEY ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KEPT HAVING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS AFTER THIS, SUCH AS JERKING, LURCHING, LIGHTS FLICKERING IN AND OUT, TO NAME A FEW. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED AND I CONSIDER THIS CAR TO BE QUITE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EVENTUALLY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A HOOD LATCH - SOMETHING I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I NEEDED AND PERFORMED A SOFTWARE CLUSTER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND DID NOT HAVE IT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, BUT EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT STILL SHOOTS OUT AFTER THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN TAPPED GENTLY, LURCHES AND JERKS FORWARD, STALLS AND STOPS, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RAINING. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT TRYING TO DRIVE THIS CAR ONCE THE WINTER HAS SET IN. I AM ALREADY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALER (WORLD HYUNDAI OF MATTESON, IL ) AND HYUNDAI MOTORS TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM AFRAID THEY AREN'T GOING TO MAKE ANY REAL CHANGES UNLESS SOMEONE HAS A TRAGIC ACCIDENT AND DIES.
WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AT AT A SLOW SPEED THIS CAR HAS EXTREME LAG. SOMETIMES IT CAN TAKE UP TO 3 SECONDS FOR THE ENGINE TO RESPOND AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR JUMPS AND ACCELERATES TOO QUICKLY. THIS PROBLEM HAS MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT TO JUDGE WHEN I CAN CROSS TRAFFIC BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY ACCELERATE.
2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED 1.6T (ULTIMATE PKG) VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW MAY 30 2016. MANY TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS HESITATED AND/OR LURCHED INTO GEAR FROM A DEAD STOP. THE DCT TRANSMISSION HESITATES NOTICEABLY WHEN ACCELERATING FROM DEAD STOP. VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 2,700 MILES AT THE TIME OF THE MAIN INCIDENT DESCRIBED BELOW (WE NOTICED HESITATION IN STARTING FROM DEAD STOP RIGHT FROM TIME OF PURCHASE AND QUESTIONED THE SALES PERSON. HE STATED THAT WAS DUE THE DCT AND WE NEEDED TO GET USED TO DRIVING THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE). THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN INTERSTATE EXIT RAMP AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH THE DRIVERS FOOT ON THE BREAK, WHEN DRIVER TOOK HIS FOOT OF THE BREAK TO STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO ROLL BACK AND WOULD NOT GO FORWARD, SO THE DRIVER STEPPED HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE DCT AND TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED THE VEHICLE LURCHED SHARPLY FORWARD AND THE TIRES SCREECHED LOUDLY. (THIS BASICALLY FELT AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS PREFORMING A NEUTRAL SLAM). WHEN AT A DEAD STOP THE DCT CLUTCHES PERIODICALLY WILL NOT ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION, IT'S LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN IT WILL START TO MOVE. I HAVE NOW SEEN MORE THE 160 SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE 'NHTSA' WEB SITE AND MANY MORE ON OTHER SITES WHEN GOOGLING 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS.
I PURCHASED MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON IN MARCH. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'M SCARED FOR MY LIFE AND CHILDREN'S LIFE. MY TUSCAN WILL BE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT , STOP SIGN, OR WHERE EVER IT FEELS LIKE NOT GOING. I PUSH THE PEDAL TO GO AND IT DOESN'T. AT TIMES IT WILL JERK AS WELL. ONE TIME, I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND I TRIED TO GO AND IT WOULDN'T LET ME. I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A VEHICLE. THANK GOODNESS BY CHILDREN WASN'T WITH ME. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO THE DEALER 4 TIMES. THEY KEPT MY TUSCAN FOR ALMOST A MONTH. IT'S AUGUST AND THEY HAVE MY TUSCAN AGAIN. I STILL DON'T HAVE IT.
WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, FROM TIME TO TIME THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. I CAN TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND IT WILL INCREASE RPM BUT NOT ROLL. I PRESS THE GAS AND IT WILL INCREASE RPM BUT NOT ROLL. IT WILL NOT ROLL FORWARD UNTIL SIGNIFICANT GAS IS APPLIED AND RPMS ARE VERY HIGH. THE CAR STARTED DOING THIS AT ABOUT 4500 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY DO A "SOFTWARE UPDATE" BUT THIS DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I EVEN SHOWED A SERVICE MANAGER THE YOUTUBE VIDEO OF WHAT THE CAR IS DOING, IN CASE I WASN'T COMMUNICATING CLEARLY ENOUGH. I AM WRITING THIS AFTER THE 2ND "REPAIR" AS THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED. WHEN I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, IT IS AN ANNOYANCE TO ME AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. I IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN. WHEN I AM TRYING TO CROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC AND MY CAR HESITATES, IT IS DOWNRIGHT UNSAFE.
THE AIR CONDITIONING WILL QUIT WORKING AND JUST BLOW WARM AIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 5 TIMES. USUALLY JUST TURNING THE SYSTEM OFF AND THEN BACK ON AFTER A FEW SECONDS WILL RESTART THE SYSTEM. ONE TIME OVER THE TIME OF THREE HOURS THE SYSTEM WOULD GO OFF AND NOT RESTART AFTER 30 MINUTES.
AFTER COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN IN DRIVE. THE ENGINE REVS HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. THIS HAS OCCURRED MORE THAN 6 TIMES. I HAVE HAD REPAIRED BY DEALER TWO TIMES AND PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THIS LAST INCIDENT TOOK OVER 15 MINUTES BEFORE I COULD GET THE CAR TO MOVE. FORWARD AND WAS STUCK ON A MAJOR 4 LANE ROAD. I TRIED TURNING CAR OFF, MOVING TO NEUTRAL AND BACK TO DRIVE, PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, AND THEN TRY DRIVE AGAIN. NOTHING CORRECTED THE SITUATION. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MOVE CAR A FEW JERKY FEET AND THEN CONTINUE TO REV ENGINE UNTIL CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE. THE CAR DID MOVE IN REVERSE. CAR DID STOP IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION ONCE AND JUST STARTING GOING IN TIME TO JUST MISSED BEING T-BONED BY DUMP TRUCK. HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS THAT COULD BE INVOLVED IN HORRIFIC ACCIDENT BECAUSE DON'T KNOW WHEN THIS ISSUE WILL ARRIVE AGAIN. THE CAR IS EIGHT MONTHS OLD.
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED THAT IVE BEEN HAVING DCT PROBLEMS WITH. FIRST ISSUE I WAS IN THE LEFT HAD TURN LANE AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE JUST REV LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL CAUSING ME TO BLOCK TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GET INTO A ACCIDENT. SECOND I WENT ON A HIKE UP AT ANGELES FOREST AND DIDN'T GET BACK TO MY VEHICLE TILL IT WAS DARK OUT AND MY CAR WOULDNT MOVE AGAIN AND THIS TIME IT WAS FOLLOWED BY A TRANS TEMP TO HIGH WARNING AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WITH NO SERVICE. I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE AT ALL.
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.
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 8/6/16 BUT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO LOCATED THE VEHICLE WITH OUR SPECIFICATIONS AND GET IT FROM ANOTHER DEALER. WE TEST DROVE A SIMILAR TUCSON AND WHILE WE DROVE THE TEST VEHICLE IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THEN THE RPM'S WHERE GOING CRAZY AND IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. IT HAD 5,000 MI. ON IT AND THE SALESMAN HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE SERVICE DEPT. WE ASKED IF THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE, HE ASSURED US IT WASN'T AND PLAYED IT OFF. SADLY, WE DID END UP PURCHASING ANOTHER TUCSON 2016 WITH 356 MI. ON IT ON 8/8/2016. I HAVE ALREADY HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT. 1ST) TRYING TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, WOULD NOT GO. 2ND) LEAVING A PARKING SPACE IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. 3RD) DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE UPHILL AND THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING AND COULDN'T GO UP THE RAMP PROPERLY. I TRIED TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE AUTOMAX DEALERSHIP IN NORMAN, OK AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE IT BACK AFTER 3 DAYS AND THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD ME AND UNSAFE AND DEFECTIVE VEHICLE!!! I HAVEN'T EVEN USED A HALF TANK OF GAS. I DID TELL THEM TO STOP THE PAPERWORK ON IT AND NOW WE ARE DEALING WITH HYUNDAI HEADQUARTERS. I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A RENTAL CAR AND MY BRAND NEW UNSAFE AND DEFECTIVE HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016 IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY!!!! HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE THESE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD BEFORE ANYONE DIES!!! THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION ASAP!!!!!!
10.10.15 I PURCHASED A NEW 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED FWD 1.6L TURBO DTC. I NOTICED THE HESITATION AND LAG ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS DOCUMENTED IN SIMILAR COMPLAINTS; HOWEVER, WHEN THESE ISSUES WHERE MENTIONED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE DISMISSED AS BEING NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. I HAVE MADE 3 TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP; ALTHOUGH, I CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION, I WAS NEVER INFORMED OF ANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES OR THAT HYUNDAI HAD ISSUED A FIX IN DECEMBER 2015 TO ADDRESS THE HESITATION ISSUES IN THE TRANSMISSION. 07.25.16 MY MOM WAS DRIVING MY VEHICHLE AND WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE CHIC-FIL-A DRIVE THRU BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE. MY MOM WAS IN DRIVE WITH HER FOOT ON THE BRAKE, BUT WHEN SHE REMOVED HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO MOVE UP IN LINE THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE, EVEN WITH EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN NEUTRAL, REVERSE, AND DRIVE AGAIN AND FAILED TO MOVE IN ANY GEAR. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE PUSHED OUT OF LINE INTO A PARKING SPOT. 07.27.16 THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED MY VEHICHLE WAS READY TO PICK UP. WHEN ASKED, THEY STATED THERE WAS "NO" ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION AS THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY HAD NO IDEA WHY MY VEHICHLE HAD BECOME STRANDED, BUT IT WAS READY FOR ME TO PICK UP. AFTER REFUSING TO TAKE BACK AND DRIVE A VEHICHLE IN THIS UNSAFE CONDITION, THEY OFFERED TO HAVE A TECHNICIAN DRIVE IT AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS TO SEE IF HE COULD DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. 08.11.16 DEALERSHIP LEFT A VOICEMAIL STATING HYUNDAI ISSUED A RECALL TO REPAIR THE ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION FAILING TO "PULL", ADVISED MY VEHICLE HAD BEEN FIXED PER THIS RECALL, AND THE ISSUE WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. MY CONCERN NOW IS WHETHER THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN TRULY FIXED ONCE I PICK UP MY VEHICHLE FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND IF DRIVING IT LIKE THIS HAS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION OR ENGINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PROCEED FROM A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN THE ENGINE REVVED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED AN UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,000.
THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT CONCERNING THIS VEHICLE. MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT WAS ON 06/27/16 WHERE I STATED THAT THE CAR WILL NEUTRAL OUT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. AS SO MANY HAVE SAID IN THERE COMPLAINTS, VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ON 7/8/16, I DROPPED MY CAR OFF AT CHAPMAN HYUNDAI WHERE IT SAT FOR 34 DAYS BEING DESTROYED BY THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARIZONA SUN, BEFORE HYUNDAI AMERICA FINALLY RELEASED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. BACK IN MAY, I HAD REQUESTED HYUNDAI REPURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I FELT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, WHICH OF COURSE WAS DECLINED. AFTER REQUESTING AN ENGINEER TO PERSONALLY LOOK AT MY VEHICLE, I WAS INFORMED (07/08/16) THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND IS WORKING ON A SOFTWARE UPDATE WITH NO ETA. FINALLY AFTER MY CAR WAS THERE FOR 34 DAYS, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE UPDATE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND MY CAR IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THIS INFORMATION COMES A FEW DAYS TOO LATE AS ANYTHING PASS THE 30 DAYS IS CONSIDERED LEMON LAW IN ARIZONA. SINCE THE DAY WE DROPPED OFF THE CAR, WE HAVE INSISTED THAT THEY REPURCHASE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST, WE WERE INFORMED THAT ARE REQUEST FOR 'REPURCHASE' HAS BEEN APPROVED. ON THE 13TH , I PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AND NOW IT SITS IN MY GARAGE WAITING FOR THE 'REPURCHASE' TO COMPLETE. DON'T LET HYUNDAI GET AWAY WITH THIS, HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE AND DEMAND THEY REPURCHASE YOUR CAR. THE ISSUE IS SAFETY AND THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE IT'S ALL FIXED WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE? WHAT ABOUT 34 DAYS MY CAR WAS BEING DESTROYED BY THE SUN / ELEMENTS? WHAT ABOUT THE DAMAGE THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO OUR CARS BY THE CLUTCH 'SLIPPING' OR 'NEUTRALLING' OUT? ANYONE WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GO ABOUT THIS PROCESS - PLEASE CALL ME OR EMAIL ME AT [XXX] OR [XXX] I FEEL FOR ALL OF YOU AND UNDERSTAND YOUR PAIN. PLEASE STAND UP AND FIGHT HYUNDAI TOOTH AND NAIL ON THIS PLEASE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CAR WILL NOT GO INTO ANY FORWARD GEAR AFTER STOPPING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON AT LEAST 3 OCCASIONS. ONCE, THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE DRIVEN IN REVERSE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY SAFELY. THE DEALER HAS UPDATED THE TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE, BUT IT CONCERNS ME THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.
CAR IS STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON HIGHWAY (4 TIMES) AND ONCE IN DRIVEWAY. RUNNING AND IN GEAR. YOU ATTEMPT TO MOVE FORWARD AND IT IS AS IF THE CAR WAS NOT IN GEAR. IT WILL NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEN IT WILL RANDOMLY ENGAGE AND BEGIN TO MOVE. OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN SAY IT RELATES TO THE CLUTCH BUT MY DEALERSHIP STILL HAS THE CAR (FOR THE SECOND TIME) AND SAYS THEY CAN NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE IS UNSAFE UNTIL A FIX IS FOUND.
THIS VEHICLE HAS A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FROM A DEAD STOP, THE CAR HESITATES AND DOESN'T MOVE. WHEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A ROLLING START, THE CAR HESITATES THEN LURCHES FORWARD. SOMETIME, THE ENGINE SIMPLY REVS AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE AT ALL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT AN INTERSECTION. THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT THE CAR WILL MOVE OR MAYBE THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD. THIS CONDITION HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE.
I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN APRIL & ONLY HAD 2400 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED! WE WERE DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE ON 8/11/16, EVERYTHING WAS FINE UNTIL WE STOPPED (IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC) TO PAY THE TOLL. UPON ACCELERATION, THE CAR JUST REVVED, NO FORWARD MOVEMENT AT ALL! MY FIANC SWITCHED INTO SPORT MODE, WITH SOME HESITATION THE CAR BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. ONCE WE REACHED CRUISING SPEED, EVERYTHING WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THAT IS UNTIL WE HAD TO STOP AGAIN DUE TO TRAFFIC. WE WERE COMING UP TO ANOTHER TOLL, AT THE BASE OF A BRIDGE WITH A MAJOR INCLINE. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED, WE DIVERTED OFF THE INTERSTATE BECAUSE WE WERE COASTING BACKWARDS WHEN IT WAS JUST REVVING. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE! WE COULDN'T IMAGINE BEING ON THAT BRIDGE & CAUSING AN ACCIDENT! WE FELT VERY UNSAFE WITH MY CHILDREN BEING IN THE BACK SEAT AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, BUT NO WARNING OF WHEN IT WILL OCCUR. IT HAPPENED TO US 6-7 DIFFERENT TIMES, SOMETIMES SPORT MODE DIDN'T EVEN WORK! VACATION CUT SHORT DUE TO A NEW CAR WITH TRANNY PROBLEMS. AS SOON AS WE GOT HOME, I LOOKED ONLINE & FOUND 152 COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE, SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT A CHEAP VEHICLE ($40,000), IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED!
LIKE MANY OTHERS, I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT. WHEN IT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. RPM'S WENT UP, BUT THE CAR STAYED STILL. AFTER SHIFTING MULTIPLE TIMES INTO REVERSE, PARK & DRIVE, IT LURCHED FORWARD WITH A SCREECH OF THE TIRES, BUT THEN STILL JUST CREPT ALONG. THANKFULLY, THE DRIVER BEHIND ME WAS ATTENTIVE, BUT I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. THIS WAS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAPPENED IN ONE DAY, BUT NO ONE WAS BEHIND ME THE OTHER 3 TIMES. I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR.....AND I LOVED IT UNTIL NOW. GOING TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, BUT NOT HOPEFUL OF A SOLUTION.
ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (10 PLUS), THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE IN GEAR AND THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT STOP SIGNS, WHEN STOPPED IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING IT JUST HAPPENS. USUALLY THE RPM GOES AS HIGH AS 4000 TO 5000 WITH NO MOVEMENT. IT CAN TAKE AS LONG AS 3 MINUTES BEFORE IT DECIDES TO MOVE FORWARD AT A REDUCED SPEED. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO LURCHED AND BEHAVED ERRATICALLY AFTER SOME OF THE SLOW GOES. THESE PROBLEMS STARTED WITH LESS THAN 1000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD ONE INSTANCE OF A NO GO AND WHERE IT REFUSED TO MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY PREFORMED A RELEARN ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE PROBLEMS CAME BACK AFTER A MONTH. AFTER THE LATEST INCIDENT, MY DEALER CLAIMED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND THEY HAD ME DROP IT OFF. IT HAS BEEN SITTING THERE AND THEY HAVE PUT ME INTO A LOANER CAR UNTIL HYUNDAI COMES UP WITH A FIX FOR THE PROBLEM.
THE CAR CONSISTENTLY HESITATES AND VIOLENTLY JERKS UPON ACCELERATION. ADDITIONALLY, SEVERAL TIMES AFTER A COMPLETE STOP, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVS, BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR ISN'T FULLY IN GEAR (LIKE RIDING THE CLUTCH IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION). THIS CAUSED ME ALMOST TO BE REAR ENDED WHEN TURNING ONTO A 55 MPH HIGHWAY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS PERFORMED TWO SOFTWARE UPDATES FROM HYUNDAI AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I FEEL THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND AM CURRENTLY DRIVING A RENTAL CAR WHILE THE DEALERSHIP CONTINUES TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.6L TURBO DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ON THREE OR MORE OCCATIONS, PRESSING THE ACCELLERATOR AFTER BEING AT A COUPLE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE REVVING TO THE REDLINE AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (JUNE 18TH 2016 ~2PM), THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I TRIED TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK. I TRIED SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. NOTHING WORKED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS AS THOUGH IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THEN WITHOUT REASON, IT BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. WHEN IT DID MOVE, IT WAS EXTREMELY JERKY AND LURCHED FORWARD A COUPLE OF TIMES. THAT WAS THE WORST AND MOST FRIGHTENING. LATELY ALL IT HAS BEEN DOING IS ONCE OR TWICE A DAY ON AVERAGE IT DOES THE SLOW ACCELERATION AND LURCH. THIS HAPPENS DURING MY MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTE. ONCE IT HAS HAPPENED, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. BUT IT IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
YESTERDAY 8/10/16 WHILE RETURNING HOME FROM PARK AND RIDE , DRIVING 1/2 INTO TRAFFIC MY TRANSMISSION FAILED AGAIN FOR A FEW MINUTES LEAVING ME IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHERE CARS HAD TO WEAVE AROUND ME CAUSING ANOTHER DANGEROUS POSITION TO BE IN. AS A MATTER OF RECORD ONCE AGAIN MY SAFETY DRIVING THIS CAR WAS IN JEOPARDY WITH NO RESOLVE FROM HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI STATES THAT MY CASE IS IN ESCALATION WHICH HAS NO TRUE DEFINITION AS TO RESOLVE. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO INVOLVE EVERY GOVERNMENT AGENCY THAT HANDLES SAFETY AND ANY FORM OF MEDIA TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY WILL NOT BE SAFE IN VEHICLES PRODUCED BY THIS COMPANY BASED ON THE HANDLING OF MY CASE. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT I HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH LESS THAN 2100 MILES ON THE CAR. IT IS IMPORTANT TO INFORM ALL AS TO THE DANGER IT PUTS PEOPLE IN. IN ADDITION THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS PUBLICIZED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM , DANGEROUS UNSAFE POSITIONS PEOPLE HAVE ENCOUNTERED AND NO RESULTS FROM HYUNDAI. WHEN SAFETY IS CONCERNED , GENERIC GENERATED EMAILS FROM HYUNDAI WILL NOT PREVENT UNSAFE SITUATIONS THAT CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE. I AM STATING FOR THE RECORD, ONCE AGAIN THAT I WANT HYUNDAI TO TAKE BACK THEIR VEHICLE FOR FULL REFUND .
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
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.
WE WERE STUCK IN A BACKUP, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I HAD TO STEP ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT MOVE AND THEN THE AIR CONDITIONER WENT WARM. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THE AIR CONDITIONER STARTED WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE TRIED TO CALL THE DEALER FOR THREE DAYS AND THEY HAVE NOT CALLED ME BACK, I THINK MY NEXT STEP IS TO CALL CORPORATE HYUNDAI TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THIS PROBLEM REALLY NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED, OTHERWISE THIS IS A GOOD CAR.
I'VE HAD AN ISSUE WHERE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, MY CAR WON'T MOVE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC AND I'VE ALMOST BEEN T-BONED. TWICE THE CAR DIDN'T MOVE AT ALL. I THOUGHT IT BROKE DOWN. I PUT ON FLASHERS, SHIFTED IT INTO PARK, THEN BACK IN DRIVE AND THE CAR STARTED TO GO, BUT VERY SLOWLY WITH THE TRANSMISSION REVVING UP VERY HIGH. THE CAR SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AS IT RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY TO THE ACCELERATOR ALMOST EVERY TIME. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER BEING STOPPED.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
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.
UNABLE TO MOVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION WITH THE CAR IN DRIVE. DUAL CLUTCH ACCELERATOR ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL WITH NO CURRENT FIX.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND LUNGED FORWARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED TWICE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTAC WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT WAS UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,400.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REPAIR SOLUTION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.
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
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AROUND TOWN OR COMMUTING TO WORK THIS CAR HAS NOT RESPONDED WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. FROM A DEAD STOP OR WHEN MOVING SLOWLY THE RESPONSE IS UNPREDICTABLE. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THIS WEEK THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE GOING UP AN INCLINE ON A COMMON CURVY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA ROAD. IT WAS A COOL EVENING. THIS IS A PAVED ROAD. NO OTHER CARS HAVING A PROBLEM. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT. THEN WHILE ACCELERATING THE CAR JUST STOPPED. NO POWER, NOTHING, DEAD IN THE ROAD. HAD TO WAIT AND RESTART. THIS IS VERY UNNERVING FOR ANY CAR AND FOR A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TWO LITTLE KIDS. I WON'T DRIVE THEM ANYWHERE IN THIS CAR. IT'S NOT SAFE. I'VE DRIVEN MOTORCYCLES, MANUALS, AUTOMATICS ALL KINDS OF MAKES AND MODELS OVER THE YEARS. THE DEAD IN THE WATER FEELING IS THE SCARIEST, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN FROM A STOP TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR HYUNDAI NEEDS TO BUY THESE CARS BACK.
PLEASE REFER TO ATTACHED PDF
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.
ON 2 OCCASIONS I HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN AND AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO GO I PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINED REVVED, BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK THEN DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE CAR EVENTUALLY MOVED. THE CAR WAS PUT INTO THE SHOP ON 8/1/2016. THE ISSUE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE DUPLICATED, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER CALLED HYUNDAI TECH AND WAS TOLD TO PERFORM A RELEARN. WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR, I ASKED ABOUT THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT THE ISSUE GIVING THE NUMEROUS INTERNET COMPLAINTS. HE STATED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND CURRENTLY HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE GIVING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. I AM HOPING SOMETHING CAN BE DONE IN ASAP TO PREVENT ANY SERIOUS OUTCOMES DUE TO THE DANGEROUSNESS OF THESE TRANSMISSIONS.
ON JULY 25, 2016, TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR HOOD LATCH RECALL WITH 1332 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WHILE AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER, THEY PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS UPDATE CREATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TOO ILLEGIBLE - THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS DEFECTED. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND IT WAS TO TAKE 30 DAYS TO BE DELIVERED. FORTUNATELY, IT TOOK 10 DAYS. PICKED UP THE VEHICLE ON 8/4/16 AFTER WORK, DROVE LESS THEN 1 MILE CAME TO A STOP LIGHT ONCE IT TURNED GREEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT DRIVE. BEING IN THE CENTER LANE OF THE HIGHWAY WITH FLASHERS ON, ON COMING VEHICLES JUST MISSED SLAMMING INTO THE REAR. FINALLY GOT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY HAVE INDICATED IT IS THE DUAL CLUTCH ISSUE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE SINCE YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHEN IT WOULD JUST STOP SHIFTING AND DRIVING. HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI MOTORS AS THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT KNOW WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED. THANK THE LORD NO ONE WAS KILLED THIS TIME!
AFTER STARTING FROM A STOP, THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) DOES NOT ALWAYS SHIFT INTO GEAR. INSTEAD IT STAYS DISENGAGES AND THE ENGINE REVS AS IF IN NEUTRAL. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC. CAR WAS RETURNED TO LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP SINCE. WE STARTED THE HYUNDAI BUYBACK PROGRAM TO SEE IF WE CAN GET A REFUND AS WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR WITH OUR CHILDREN.
TRANSMISSION FAILS TO PROPERLY ENGAGE CAUSING ROLLBACK, STALLING, OR SEVERE LOSS OF POWER IN SITUATIONS SUCH AT A STOP LIGHT, STOP SIGN, HILL, AND EVEN TURNING LEFT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC WHERE POWER IS NEEDED TO SAFELY CROSS THE INTERSECTION. ONE INSTANCE INVOLVED ACCELERATION ONTO THE INTERSTATE WHILE TRYING TO MERGE AND THE TRANSMISSION ACTED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL CAUSING NO ACCELERATION. OTHER VEHICLES HONKED AND SWERVED TO AVOID AND LUCKILY DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ANOTHER INSTANCE INVOLVED TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE THERE WAS SUFFICIENT TIME TO TURN BUT DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVING AS THOUGH IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AGAIN, THERE WAS NEARLY A COLLISION CAUSING A LOT OF ANXIETY TO FURTHER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THESE ARE JUST TWO INSTANCES OUT OF THE MANY WHERE YOU CAN NOTICE THAT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT BEHAVE NORMALLY CAUSING IRREGULAR SHIFTING, UNEXPECTED POWER SURGES, AND STALLS THAT HAVE NEARLY CAUSED ACCIDENTS.
MULTIPLE EXPERIENCES AFTER BEING STOPPED (RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN, FAST FOOD DRIVE THRU ) WITH THE TRANSMISSION REMAINING IN DRIVE AND BRAKES ENGAGED, WHEN TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T ENGAGE. RPM'S INCREASE, BUT NO MOVEMENT IN THE VHEICLE. THEN IT LURCHES FORWARD. POTENTIAL DANGER IN A) BEING REAR ENDED AT AN INTERSECTION LIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD B) SUDDEN LURCHING COULD POTENTIALLY REAR END THE VEHICLE IN FRONT IF I DON'T KEEP PLENTY OF ROOM. THERE WAS A SOFTWARE TO FIX THIS ISSUE ((ST.LF.USA.E478.150901: SEP 1 2015 12:00AM). BUT IT HASN'T. I'VE EXPERIENCED IT 3 TIMES TODAY. TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON 7/2/16, THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. TOLD ME THAT MY GEAR OIL WAS LOW AND REFILLED. BUT AM STILL EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES.
I WAS OUT OF TOWN FOR A TENNIS TOURNAMENT DRIVING 4 WOMEN AND WITH ANOTHER GROUP IN ANOTHER CAR. DRIVING ALONG ON A CITY STREET, AND I BRAKED, WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT IT IN PARK, THEN DRIVE AGAIN, NOTHING BUT REVVING. TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES, STILL NOTHING. LUCKILY MY FRIEND WAS ABLE TO PARK BEHIND ME WITH HER HAZARDS ON TOO, TO PREVENT PEOPLE FROM REAR-ENDING ME. THE CAR WOULD GO IN REVERSE BUT NOT FORWARD. WE PUSHED IT OUT OF THE ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT AND CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER, AND AFTER ABOUT AN HR OR SO THEY SAID THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND IT SHOULD BE FINE. I HAD ALREADY HAD THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I GOT THE CAR IN OCT 2015, AND AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT IT HAD 9800 MILES ON IT. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW, IT GETS SLUGGISH OR REVS AT VARIOUS TIMES, WHICH MAKES ME THINK IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. HOW LONG BEFORE HYUNDAI DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? OTHERWISE, I LOVE THE CAR, JUST SCARY KNOWING IT COULD JUST STOP WITH NO WARNING.
THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, TRAFFIC LIGHT OR TURN LANE, THE VEHICLE WILL, ON OCCASION, NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE ENGINE WILL REV HIGH, 5000 RPM BUT THE VEHICLE REMAINS STATIONARY FOR MULTIPLE SECONDS. ON ONE OCCASION THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TURNED OFF AND BACK ON BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION THE VEHICLE WAS REVVING VERY HIGH AND SUDDENLY ENGAGED WHILE LURCHING FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. IT HAPPENS SPORADICALLY.
LAST WEEK WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON UNIVERSITY PKWAY,HEADING TO UTC MALL, IN SARASOTA FLORIDA. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO MOVE THE CAR WOULD NOT! WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE IT WOULD NOT MOVE! IT WOULD NOT ROLL FORWARD, IT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING!! THE RPM'S JUMPED ON GAUGES AND AC CUT OUT. I SHUT OFF THE AC, BUT THE SAME ISSUE WAS REPEATING ITSELF. I ALSO TRIED A DIFFERENT DRIVE MODE. NOTHING WORKED, UNTIL I APPLIED MAX ACCELERATION, AS I HAD TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION, SOMEHOW, AT WHICH POINT THE TIRES SQUEALED, AND THE CAR TOOK OFF! I FOUND A PARKING SPACE AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I CALLED MY SERVICE ADVISOR AT THE LAKEWOOD STORE IN BRADENTON AND HE TOLD ME TO HAVE IT TOWED IN. I CHOSE TO DRIVE IT IN. LAKEWOOD SERVICE TECHS, IN BRADENTON, FL. PERFORMED HYUNDAI MULTI POINT INSPECTION AND I WAS TOLD, AND IT IS WRITTEN ON MY SERVICE ORDER, "TECH UNABLE TO DUPLICATE ISSUE. NO ISSUE FOUND. VEHICLE FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED!" I HAVE CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS, PER MY SERVICE ADVISOR'S RECOMMENDATION, AND HIS SERVICE MANAGER, AND I HAVE A CASE NUMBER, HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK, AT THIS WRITING. I LEFT THE CAR THERE! I WILL NOT DRIVE THIS, AGAIN! THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO! I'VE ALSO BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE OPERATIONS MANAGER FOR THE GETTEL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS IN FLORIDA, AND HE INFORMED ME YESTERDAY, THAT I WOULD BE HEARING FROM HYUNDAI MOTORS IN ATLANTA, GA. WITH A RESOLUTION. I DID NOT! THIS CAR IS UNSAFE, AND I WANT THEM TO BUY IT BACK! IT ONLY HAS 2300 MILES ON IT, PURCHASED 4 MONTHS AGO! I HAVE GOOGLED THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS, OF THE SAME NATURE. I WOULD LIKE TO PUT THIS NIGHTMARE BEHIND ME, AND BE ABLE TO GO AND PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE. I CANNOT, UNTIL THIS ONE IS RESOLVED, AND I AM REIMBURSED. I AM PAYING 400.00 A MONTH, CURRENTLY TO HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP., FOR A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE!
I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN MARCH OF 2016 WITH ABOUT 20 MILES ON IT. AFTER AROUND 1000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION STARTED GETTING HOT AND WOULD STALL OUT. I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FIVE TO SIX MINUTES FOR ME TO RESTART THE CAR. I HAVE SENT IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THIS TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC. I LIVE IN NEW JERSEY THATS THE NORM FOR US HERE. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT HEADACHE. I EVEN STALLED OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LINCOLN TUNNEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MORE THEN I CAN COUNT. I SPOKE TO HYUNDAI CARE CENTER AND THEY HAVE BRUSHED ME OVER TO REGION. NOW I AM WAITING FOR REGION TO CALL MY CASE NUMBER IS 9448240 AND I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE. ALSO WHEN YOU WANT TO GO TO THE NEXT LANE IT IS SLOW TO START. AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IT REVES UP AND DON'T MOVE. THERE ARE SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS CAR. I'VE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHTS AND TELLING ME TO PULL TO THE SIDE SAFELY. HOW CAN I DO THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE LINCOLN TUNNEL. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM AND NOW I HAVE ABOUT 10000 MILES ON THE CAR. I AM AFRAID OF THIS CAR BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT CAUSE I NEED TO GO TO WORK. I NEED HELP HERE. THE DATE I PUT IN IS THE LAST INCIDENT. IT GOT HOT THEN STALLED I WAITED THE USUAL 5 TO 6 MINUTES THEN STARTED IT AGAIN I JUST DROVE A MILE AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I'M GETTING REALLY FRUSTRATED WITH A CAR THAT I AM SCARED OF.
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND ON 3 OCCASIONS WITHIN THE LAST WEEK WHEN I HAVE BEEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, I STEP ON THE GAS BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE, THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACK AND THE RPM'S JUST REV UP. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD THERE IS NO KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN OTHER THAN A SOFTWARE UPDATE. WAS TOLD OUR VEHICLE WAS ALREADY UPDATED AND NOT NEEDED. EXPLAINED WHAT WAS OCCURRING AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE ECO DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM. I TOLD THE SERVICE PERSON THAT THE ENGINE REVING BUT ROLLING BACKWARDS IS NOT NORMAL AND I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND WITHIN 2 BLOCKS IT HAPPENED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION WHERE I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT! WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR HYUNDAI TO FIX OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET (NOT FREEWAY, TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY WITH THIS ISSUE). VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN SLUGGISH WHEN ACCELERATING BUT THIS NEW ISSUE OF NOT ENGAGING AND ROLLING BACKWARDS IS JUST THE LAST FEW DAYS.
INTERMITTENTLY WHEN CAR IS TAKING OFF FROM A STANDSTILL, THE ENGINE WILL REV BUT NO POWER IS TRANSMITTED TO THE WHEELS. THIS HAS RESULTED IN ME BEING STUCK AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS UNABLE TO MOVE. I WILL SHIFT INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE TO MAKE SURE I HAVE THE APPROPRIATE TRANSMISSION SELECTION. AFTER ABOUT 15-20 SECONDS OF REPEATEDLY STEPPING ON AND OFF THE GAS, THE CLUTCH WILL SLOWLY CATCH ON AND THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN MOVING AND RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO REPLICATE ON COMMAND WHICH IS TROUBLESOME WHEN CONSULTING THE DEALER. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES OVER THE PAST THREE MONTHS IN BOTH COLD AND WARM ENGINE STATES. USUALLY PRESENTS WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR.
HAVE ENCOUNTERED SEVERAL INSTANCES OF DCT NOT ENGAGING AFTER "CREEP" OR "CRAWL" TO A STOP SIGN AWAITING RIGHT-OF-WAY TO PROCEED. FOLLOWING "CREEP" AND SUBSEQUENT STOP AT SIGN, JUST ENOUGH PROPULSION IS GIVEN TO ENTER THE INTERSECTION, AND THEN DCT DISENGAGES AND HIGH ENGINE RPMS WITH NO FORWARD PROPULSION, WHATSOEVER. HAS VERY NEARLY CAUSED A BROAD-SIDE ACCIDENT ON A NUMBER OF OCCASIONS. THIS CONDITION IS VERY UNSAFE FOR CITY AND HWY STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC (AND ENTERING ANY SORT OF ROADWAY). HAS HAPPENED BOTH IN SITUATIONS WHEN TURNING FROM A STOP AND PROCEEDING FOWARD FROM A STOP. EACH TIME IS JUST ENOUGH FOWARD PROPULSION TO ALLOW VEHICLE TO ENTER THE ROADWAY BROADSIDE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, AND THEN COMPLETE LOSS OF FORWARD PROPULSION LEAVING VEHICLE STATIONARY FOR 10, 15, UP TO 20 SECONDS WITH NO FORWARD PROPULSION TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING CROSS-TRAFFIC.
I HAD A HALF DOZEN INCIDENTS WHERE THE DCT EITHER DOES NOT ENGAGE OR ONLY MOVES THE CAR VERY SLOWLY WHICH INDICATES THAT IT IS SLIPPING BADLY. I ALSO HAVE HAD 2 INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR ACCELERATED AT FIRST AND THEN STOPPED ACCELERATING AS I WAS TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN FROM A STOP SIGN. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 40 MPH THERE AND IT LEFT ME WONDERING WHETHER I WOULD INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE BEFORE I HAD AN ACCIDENT, I HAVE DRIVEN THIS CAR 1500 MILES ON LOCAL RURAL AND CITY STREETS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2016. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER TWICE WITH THE LATEST BEING TOLD THAT HYUNDAI IS WORKING ON A DCT SOFTWARE UPGRADE TO BE AVAILABLE IN 3 TO 6 WEEKS.
I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT, BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE CAR WOULDN'T GO FORWARD. INSTEAD THE ENGINE JUST REVVED AND RPMS WENT UP, BUT NO MOVEMENT FORWARD AND NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SOUNDS CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY FLIPPED ON MY EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO RESTART AND GO AGAIN, BUT TWO CARS CRASHED INTO EACH OTHER NEXT TO ME AS THEY TRIED TO GO AROUND ME. I SAT IN A PANIC IN TRAFFIC WITH PEOPLE HONKING AT ME AND FLIPPING ME OFF. THE CAR WOULDN'T DRIVE FORWARD, BUT IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE SO AS THE CARS CRASHED INTO EACH OTHER AND WERE COMING TOWARDS ME I DODGED GETTING HIT BY A FEW INCHES AND DROVE SLOWLY DOWN THE STREET IN REVERSE AND INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT IN REVERSE. THEN I PARKED AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. IN THE PARKING LOT I TOOK VIDEO EVIDENCE OF THE CAR NOT DRIVING FORWARD, BUT ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE SO I DO HAVE VIDEO PROOF. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 5,500 MILES ON IT AND ALREADY HAD AN ECM RESET / ACTIVE TRANSMISSION RELEARN DONE AT ABOUT 1,000 MILES BACK IN JANUARY WHEN THE CAR WAS LAGGING THE FIRST MONTH I OWNED IT. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND FOR A CORRECTION THEY DID ANOTHER ACTIVE TRANSMISSION RELEARN/PROGRAMMING RESET AND SAY THE CAR WORKS AND IS FINE NOW AND READY TO PICK UP. I'M NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR THAT'S BEEN IN TWICE FOR TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND HAD THE SAME CORRECTION DONE. I DON'T FEEL CONFIDENT THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN AND MOST ONLINE REPORTS I READ WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND CORRECTION SAY IT HAPPENS OVER AND OVER AGAIN. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. I'VE ALSO READ THERE IS A PART THAT MAY BE REPLACED AS A FIX (FP NUMBER 41470-2D011 ACTUATOR ASSY-CLU) AND POSSIBLY A RECALL COMING UP, BUT THE DEALER SAID I NEED TO WAIT FOR THE RECALL. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO EXPEDITE ANY FIX AND REPAIRS BEFORE MORE ACCIDENTS HAPPEN, DRIVING THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER CARS AROUND ME.
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.
ACCELERATION ISSUES FROM STOP. ENGINE WILL GO TO HIGH RPM'S WITHOUT MOVING THE VEHICLE. ISSUES SEEN WITH VEHICLE LEAVING 1ST GEAR, VEHICLES ROLLS IN TO INTERSECTION AND LOSES POWER. VEHICLE HAS HARD SHIFT ISSUES AND OFTEN SEEMS TO BE "STUCK IN GEAR" FOR TOO LONG.
TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED IN DRIVE. THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION TO HYUNDAI, DIAGNOSED AS DCT FAILURE. HYUNDAI HAS NO KNOWN FIX. CAR WAS 6 WEEKS OLD WITH 740 MILES ON IT. CAT WAS BOUGHT NEW WITH 65 MILES. DCT FAILED IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION LEAVING WIFE AND CHILD STRANDED IN DANGEROUS TRAFFIC SITUATION. NOW AT DEALERSHIP AWAITING ANYTHING FROM HYUNDAI. THIS CAR WAS ALMOST NOT SOLD TO US DUE TO A ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE HOOD LATCH, BUT WAS HAPPILY SOLD WITH A KNOWN DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
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
THIS SUV STALLS & HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STAND STILL, IN MOTION & ALL OTHER TIMES. CURRENTLY HAVE 4500 MILES ON IT, & THIS PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER I FIRST PURCHASED IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN, IT REVS UP, BUT GOES NO WHERE.THE TRANSMISSION (DCT) IS NOT WORKING RIGHT, & THE RECALL TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE DID NOT FIX ANYTHING. PLEASE HYUNDAI FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS HAPPEN.
ISSUE WITH THE NEW 7 SPEED DCT. TRANSMISSION REVVED AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE AFTER DRIVING 60 MILES ON HIGHWAY, SOME STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, IN 101 DEGREE HEAT AND SITTING FOR 45 MINUTES. IN ORDER FOR ME TO GET IT TO ENGAGE, I WENT INTO MANUAL MODE, NOTICED IT WAS IN 2ND GEAR FROM START, DOWNSHIFTED TO 1ST GEAR, AND WAS ABLE TO WORK THRU THE GEARS TO GET IT GOING AND EVENTUALLY PUT IT BACK INTO AUTOMATIC.
LEASED VEHICLE ON 7/18/16. NOTICED SLIGHT HESITATION DURING ACCELERATION SHORTLY AFTER TAKING POSSESSION OF VEHICLE. ON 7/28/16, I WAS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON FREEWAY GOING AROUND CURVE. TRAFFIC FINALLY PICKED UP SPEED. WHEN I RELEASED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AND THE RPM'S WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE. I WAS PANICKING, FEARFUL THAT I WAS GOING TO BE REAR ENDED AT ANY MOMENT. I CONTINUED TO PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, PRAYING THAT IT WOULDN'T ROCKET FORWARD. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 TO 25 SECONDS FOR THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AT ALL AND FINALLY KICK INTO GEAR. I AM TOTALLY TRAUMATIZED BY THIS SITUATION AND CANNOT EVEN FATHOM PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE.
THE DCT TRANSMISSION ON THIS VEHICLE RANDOMLY STOPS PROPELLING THE CAR FORWARD. ALTHOUGH INITIALLY THE CAR REFUSED TO MOVE FORWARD WHILE AT A STOP, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL RECENT INCIDENTS WHERE THE DCT TRANSMISSION "DROPPED" OUT OF GEAR WHILE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO RE-ENGAGE UNTIL I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD - AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ~10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN APRIL 2016. IT NOW HAS 9400 MILES. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER - AND THEY REPORTED "NO PROBLEM FOUND." THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I NO LONGER OPERATE THE VEHICLE IN "ECO" MODE, AND NOT DO "AGGRESSIVE" DRIVING. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES WHETHER IT IS IN ECO MODE OR NOT -- AND MY DRIVING STYLE IS FAR FROM AGGRESSIVE. LOSING POWER AT HIGH SPEED CREATES A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENED AT PASSING SPEEDS. I CANNOT CONSISTENTLY RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM - BUT IT'S DEFINITIVE A SOFTWARE/HARDWARE ISSUE WITH THE CONTROL OF THE DCT TRANSMISSION.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JAN 2016 AND HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM HAVING DCT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD NOTICED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE IS VERY SLUGGISH AND HAS SOME DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND AT TIMES IT LURCHES FORWARD. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT AND ONGOING ISSUE, BUT VERY TROUBLESOME, NONE THE LESS. THIS OCCURS DURING NORMAL IN TOWN TRAFFIC AND ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILLS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUES IN TRAFFIC WHERE IT ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS IN A SEVEN DAY PERIOD, AFTER DECIDING THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT TIMES. WHEN I MADE THE INITIAL APPT THE RECEPTIONISTS STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INITIAL TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COMPLETED THE LATCH RECALL AND RESET THE COMPUTER TO RELEARN THE SYSTEM, HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE SAVING GRACE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD WHILE DRIVING, THAT I PULLED OVER AND THE SOUND DIED DOWN AT BIT. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER TO HEAR THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE CONCERN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT'S THE DESIGN OF THE CLUTCH THAT GIVES DRIVERS THE SLUGGISH FEEL. I DECIDED TO COME BACK TO HYUNDAI TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND I DEEPLY REGRET THAT DECISION.
TRANSMISSION NOT PROVIDING POWER TO THE WHEELS FROM A STANDING STOP. THE ENGINE ACCELERATES, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE. FIRST INSTANCE WAS TRYING TO TURN FROM A STOP. SECOND INSTANCE WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. REVERSE WORKED, CAR STOPPED DRIVE. THIRD INSTANCE WAS AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND PLACING IT IN DRIVE. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT WAS DUPLICATED AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN ENTERING TRAFFIC OR TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. TWO INSTANCES OF BEING STOPPED FOR 15 TO 20 SECONDS. THE OCCURRENCE AT THE DEALERSHIP LASTED ABOUT 30 MINUTES. HYUNDAI USA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM.
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO. YOU PUSH THE GAS IT REVS UP AND THEN DOESN'T MOVE. OR MOVES INCREDIBLY SLOW. NOT ALL THE TIME BUT NOT AT GOOD TIMES EITHER. USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IF YOU'D SLOWED DOWN AND GO TO ACCELERATE. STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT MORE THAN 15 DAYS OLD. VERY TERRIFYING WENT TO DEALER AND THEY ACT AS IF THEY ARE NOT EVEN AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM
AFTER INSTALLING A NEW HOOD LATCH UNDER THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED THE DASHBOARD SOFTWARE UPGRADE. THE INCORRECT SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR THE DASH ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED. IT SEEMS THAT THE COMPANY HYUNDAI PUT IN CHARGE FOR THE SOFTWARE, FAILED TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND IT COULD NOT TELL THE DIFF. BETWEEN THE 2 DIFF. STYLES OF DASH ASSEMBLIES. AS OF THE 27TH OF JULY, THE DASH WILL NOT DISPLAY ANYTHING.
SHORTLY AFTER DEPARTING FOR WORK IN THE MORNING HOURS AND WHILE TRAVELING ON CITY STREETS, I NOTICED A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION OF THE CAR FOLLOWING A BRIEF STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE CAR WAS MOVING, ALTHOUGH IN A VERY SLUGGISH AND UNRESPONSIVE MANNER WHEN DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN THE WRONG GEAR AND STRUGGLING TO GAIN MOMENTUM. I TRIED TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM AS I WAS LOOKING FOR A OPEN PLACE TO PULL OVER TO THE CURB AND I SWITCHED INTO MANUAL MODE WHILE STILL IN MOTION TO SEE WHAT GEAR THE DISPLAY WOULD SHOW... I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE "D" REMAINED EVEN THOUGH I TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO VERIFY THE ACTIVE GEAR THROUGH SEVERAL CYCLES OF SLIGHT ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE DCT WAS CONFUSED AND UNABLE TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. THIS IS CLEARLY AN UNSETTLING AND UNPREDICTABLE SAFETY CONCERN AND PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THE HIGHEST PRIORITY.
PARKING VEHICLE AT MY APARTMENTS WHEN THE ACCERLATER JUST TOOK ON ITS OWN. IT CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. HAD TURN KEY OFF AND HIT THE BULIDING. IT WAS STATIONARY. JUST PARKING ON A FLAT PARKING AREA
THE CAR RANDOMLY DOES NOT SHIFT INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. MY HUSBAND AND I HAD BEEN NOTICING THAT THE CAR WOULD SOMETIMES LAG WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM STOPPED AND THEN JUMP FORWARD. WE ALSO NOTICED SIMILAR ISSUES WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS CHANGING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR AND SECOND TO THIRD GEAR. LAST WEEK, MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ENTERING A MAIN ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT. WHEN MY HUSBAND RELEASED THE BREAK AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL, THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED FORWARD INTO THE ROAD, BUT DID NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN MY HUSBAND PUSHED THE GAS TO THE FLOOR AND THE CAR REVVED. THE FIRST GEAR DID NOT ENGAGE. MY HUSBAND HAD TO TURN OFF THE CAR AND RESTART THE ENGINE IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. WE TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. THEY CLAIMED TO CLEAN SOME CONTACTS AND UPDATE THE SOFTWARE AND SAID THAT THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM, WHICH WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE NEXT DAY, WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ENTERING A ROAD FROM A PARKING LOT, AND THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED. WE TOOK IT BACK TO HYUNDAI AND THE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION OF THIS MODEL OF CAR AND THAT THEY HAD ALREADY PERFORMED 'SOFTWARE UPDATES' ON APPROXIMATELY 70 CARS AT THEIR DEALERSHIP AND ONLY JUST REALIZED THE DAY BEFORE THAT THIS DOESN'T FIX ANYTHING. HE SAID THAT THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, HYUNDAI DOES NOT CURRENTLY KNOW HOW TO FIX THE ISSUE, AND THAT THEY WOULD GIVE US A LOANER CAR WHILE HYUNDAI ENGINEERS WORK ON THE PROBLEM. HE SAID THEY MAY HAVE A SOLUTION IN A FEW WEEKS. IN THE MEANTIME, HE CLAIMED THAT THEIR DEALERSHIP WAS NO LONGER SELLING THESE VEHICLES. THESE CARS ARE A SAFETY HAZARD AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. THEY ALL NEED TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY.
PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND RPMS WENT TO 5500 BUT CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE. TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT UP. TURNED OFF AND ON TWICE AND CAR WORKED. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME IT HAS HAPPENED BUT WAS SUPER DANGEROUS PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC - BARELY AVOIDED BEING HIT.
LEASED A BRAND NEW 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED IN NOVEMBER 2015. THE SAME WEEK THE CAR WAS LEASED, I HAD NOTICED SOME LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION WHEN LEAVING STOP SIGNS/STOPLIGHTS. THIS ISSUE GOT A LITTLE BETTER AFTER HAVING A SOFTWARE UPDATE DONE THE FOLLOWING WEEK. AS OF LAST WEEK, MY AC HAS NOT WORKED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IT WILL ONLY BLOW HOT AIR. AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE AC RESETS ITSELF AND WORKS AGAIN. LAST NIGHT WHILE DRIVING HOME, I WAS SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT WAITING TO GET ON THE FREEWAY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I TOOK OFF, THE CAR REVVED UP TO 5000 RPMS, BUT NEVER MOVED. I SHIFTED THE CAR BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN PARK AND DRIVE WITH NO LUCK. I SHUT THE CAR OFF, RESTARTED IT, AND STILL REVVED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE CAR KICKED INTO GEAR AND STARTED MOVING VERY SLOWLY BEFORE IT FINALLY KICKED BACK TO NORMAL. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS AS THE CAR WOULD ONLY GO 10MPH UP THE FREEWAY RAMP! ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING, THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. I WAS IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR ONCE AGAIN REVVED UP, BUT NEVER MOVED. WHEN TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. FINALLY AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR AND SHIFTING BACK AND FORTH, THE CAR KICKED INTO GEAR. AFTER TAKING MY CAR TO THE SHOP THIS MORNING, THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT, BUT THERE IS NO KNOWN FIX. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED THAT I AM PAYING FOR A FULLY LOADED VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T DRIVE AND MAKES FOR UNSAFE SITUATIONS!
PURCHASED CAR NEW IN 3/16. 1.7 TURBO ENGINE WITH DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (DCT). 2 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING, WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE (CALLED "FALSE NEUTRAL"). IN TRAFFIC, THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. TOOK CAR IN TO DEALER. TOLD THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE. HYUNDAI WAS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND "WORKING ON IT." TOLD TO GO HOME, WAIT TO HEAR FROM THEM, AND DON'T BRING IT BACK. REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS, THEY FINALLY CALLED BACK. TOLD ME TO TAKE CAR BACK TO DEALER AND LEAVE IT WITH THEM. HYUNDAI WOULD PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR. DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN HYUNDAI WOULD COME UP WITH A SOFTWARE FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. IT COULD BE WEEKS OR MONTHS. IN THE MEANTIME, I'M DRIVING AROUND IN A RENTAL CAR WHILE MY BEAUTIFUL NEW $31,000 VEHICLE SITS COLLECTING DUST.
I HAD ~3,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WENT TO MOVE THE TUCSON UP MY DRIVEWAY. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING 3-4K RPMS AND THE VEHICLE SPEED WAS 1 MPH.
SAME AS OTHERS, HESITATION ON START IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. ONE TIME IN ECO MODE IT JUST REVVED AT 6500 RPM AND WOULD NOT MOVE. SCARY. NEED A FIX, LOVE THE CAR OTHERWISE
DCT PROBLEMS: PURCHASED TUCSON ECO IN APRIL 2016. CURRENTLY 1350 MILES AND CAR STALLS, CREEPS UP, DOESN'T MOVE AT STOP/GO, AND UNRESPONSIVE. ALSO HIGH REVS/LOW MPH. MAJOR DCT PRODUCT FAILURE. DEALERSHIP RAN GDS SCAN TOOL AND CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THEY'RE AWARE OF PROBLEM AND CANNOT DO ANYTHING UNLESS CORPORATE HAS A PROGRAMMING UPDATE. CAR CREEPS UP AT DRIVE THRU LINE WHEN FOOT RELEASED FROM BRAKE PEDAL. DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE AT INTERSECTION, ESP WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SHARP LEFT TURN. RPM REVS HIGH, CAR UNRESPONSIVE. FILED COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THEY PLAYED DUMB AND WAS TOLD THAT'S HOW THE DCT BEHAVES AND GET USED TO IT. WAITING FOR HYUNDAI INVESTIGATION
THIS ISSUE HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. AS I ACCELERATE FROM A STANDING STOP THE ENGINE WILL REV UP TO MATCH THE ACCELERATOR PETAL BUT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. I LET OFF THE PETAL AND ATTEMPT TO MOVE AGAIN WITH NOT LUCK. I SHIFT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL THEN BACK INTO DRIVE WITH THE SAME RESULTS. AFTER THE THIRD OR FORTH ATTEMPT THE VEHICLE WILL START TO MOVE SLOWLY THEN ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AS THE TRANSMISSION FULLY ENGAGES. THIS IS A 7 MONTH OLD VEHICLE WITH 13K MILES AND THIS ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED AT ABOUT THE 10K MARK. THIS ISSUE WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALERS ATTENTION WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS WAS KNOW ISSUE WITH THE TUSCON WITH THE NEW 1.6 TURBO AND 7 SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER FOLLOWED THE MFG ADVICE TO RESET THE ECM (ENGINE CONTROL MODULE) AND THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) THIS WAS DONE AND WITHIN 100 MILES FOR THE RESET THE ISSUE WAS BACK AND EVEN WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER SAFE TO OPERATE BECAUSE OF THE RANDOMNESS OF THE ISSUE SO THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER ON 7-26-2016 AWAITING AN ANSWER FROM HYUNDAI ON A PERMANENT FIX. AS OF 7-26-2016 NO UPDATE OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE ISSUE HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DEALER OR THE OWNER. A COMPLAINT WAS FILED WITH HYUNDAI ON 7-23-2016 AND THE OWNER IS STILL AWAITING A CALL BACK FROM A REPRESENTATIVE OF HYUNDAI AMERICA.
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?
I PURCHASED MY 2016 HYJNDAI TUCSON NEW AND IN LESS THAN A YEAR IT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK. EACH TIME IS THE SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THE RPMS WILL REACT TO THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. FIRST, HYUNDAI DEAL SAID IT WAS THE DCT NEEDING UPDATE. SECOND, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE ONCE IT ARRIVED AT DEALER, BUT I CONTEACT HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO HAVE A MONITORING DEVICE INSTALLED. THEY LEFT IT IN FOR LESS THEN A MONTH. THIRD, JUST OCCURED AND HYUNDAI HAS A NEW CASE ON THE VEHICLE. I INFORMED THEM VIA THE PHONE AND WILL SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER STATING THIS IS THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME, AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THE HAZARDS IT CAN CAUSE ON THE ROAD INCLUDING COLLISION, BODILY HARD, AND EVEN DEATH.
INTERMITTENT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION. WE RECEIVE MESSAGES STATING THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATED. WE HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED HIGH RPMS WITH NO FORWARD OR REVERSE MOTION WHEN IN DRIVE AND REVERSE. THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND MOVE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON INCLINES AND WITHIN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WE CAN'T DEPEND ON FORWARD OR REVERSE MOTION WHEN IN DRIVE AND REVERSE.
WENT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE MODEL. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE IN STOCK BUT TOLD ME THAT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON MODEL WAS JUST LIKE THE SANTA FE BUT A SMALLER VERSION. I GOT THE TUCSON VEHICLE AND IN 2 DAYS THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLEW HOT AIR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE HYUNDAI SERVICE AGENT I WAS TOLD TO ONLY USE THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE LOWEST FAN. IF I PUT IT ON A HIGHER SETTING IT WILL FREEZE UP AND BLOW ONLY HOT AIR. IT WAS 95 OUT SIDE. LATER I CAME TO A STOP AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I LET OFF ON THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN. THE ENGINE AGAIN REVVED UP FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS THEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE NEXT DAY I HAD PARKED ON A SMALL INCLINE. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE I: PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE - PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT DID NOT GO FORWARD, INSTEAD IT ROLLED BACKWARDS ABOUT 6 TO 12 INCHES THEN IT POPPED INTO GEAR AND LURCHED FORWARD. EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT HYUNDAI TUCSON. I FELT UNSAFE AND WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR ACTING LIKE IT DID. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS OF THIS VEHICLE ALL STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. SO, I TRADED IN MY 6 DAY OLD TUCSON FOR A SANTA FE - AND I AM VERY HAPPY NOW. THE TUCSON I FELT WAS THE MOST UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS AND/OR ISSUES WITH THE DUEL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE AND IF HYUNDAI DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FATALITIES OCCURRING.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED STALLING WHEN SHIFTED INTO ECO DRIVE OR SPORT MODE. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE FAILURES OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE DUAL CONTROL TRANSMISSION CLUTCH OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS GIVEN A HANDOUT TO SAFELY OPERATE THROUGH THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900.
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR 8+ HOURS (NICE AND COOL - NO HOT TRANSMISSION). I STARTED IT AND DROVE 1/4 OF A MILE TO A STOP LIGHT. AS SOON AS THE LIGHT WENT GREEN, I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE! THE RPMS WERE GOING UP INTO THE 4,000 RANGE, AND IT WOULD NOT SEND ANY POWER TO THE WHEELS. IT BEHAVED AS IF IT HAD THE CLUTCH 99% DEPRESSED, ALMOST AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON AS FULL-SPEED TRAFFIC WAS BEARING DOWN UPON ME. I TRIED TO SWITCH IT INTO MANUAL MODE, BUT IT IGNORED MY CHOICE. I THEN MOVED IT INTO PARK, AND BACK TO DRIVE, TO NO AVAIL. STILL, IT WOULD NOT TRANSMIT POWER TO THE WHEELS. AFTER ABOUT 60 SECONDS OF BEING HUNG OUT TO DRY, WITH TRAFFIC GOING AROUND ME, AND BEING FEARFUL OF SOMEONE REAR-ENDING ME AT FULL SPEED, IT DECIDED TO APPLY A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF POWER (LIKE MAYBE 10%), AT VERY HIGH RPMS (4-5K). EVEN WITH GENTLE ACCELERATION, IT VERY SLUGGISHLY MOVED ALONG, FIRST AT 10 MPH, THEN 15 MPH, ETC., SLIPPING THE CLUTCH THE ENTIRE WAY. AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE VIDEO POSTED BY ANOTHER USER IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. EXCEPTIONS: TEMPERATURE 101, CRUISE OFF, ECO OFF, 7/27/15 @ 4:15 PM EST. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS
WHILE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON AN INCLINED SURFACE, I WAITED FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I COULD MAKE THE TURN. ONCE TRAFFIC CLEARED, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. IN FACT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACK ABOUT THREE FEET BEFORE I REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON (THE DRIVER BEHIND ME LAID ON THE HORN TOO, THANK GOODNESS). THE TRANSMISSION INDICATOR WAS IN "D" (DRIVE) BUT THE VEHICLE HAD ZERO MOTIVE POWER. THE ENGINE TACHOMETER WAS READING AS HIGH AS 6,500 RPMS BUT THE VEHICLE REMAINED STILL, AND WOULD NOT MOVE UNDER ITS OWN POWER. DESPITE MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION (PARK, THEN DRIVE, THEN PARK, THEN DRIVE), THE VEHICLE REMAINED STALLED IN TRAFFIC. ULTIMATELY, DRIVERS OF THE TWO VEHICLES BEHIND ME HELPED TO PUSH THE CAR ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC INTO A PARKING LOT. THE PROBLEM REMAINED. AFTER FINALLY GIVING UP, AND SHUTTING THE CAR OFF AND WAITING APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO MY HOME, APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AWAY. I CAME HOME TO DO SOME RESEARCH, ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE 1.6 LITER TURBO VERSION OF THIS VEHICLE, MOST ARISING FROM THE DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FOUR MONTHS, AND I NOW WISH THAT I HAD DONE MORE RESEARCH PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL A PROPER REMEDY, REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR CAN BE MADE. SUMMARY: SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF MOTIVE POWER.
IT DOESN'T ALWAYS GO. YOU PUSH THE GAS IT REVS UP AND THEN DOESN'T MOVE. OR MOVES INCREDIBLY SLOW. NOT ALL THE TIME BUT NOT AT GOOD TIMES EITHER. USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP OR IF YOU'D SLOWED DOWN AND GO TO ACCELERATE. STARTED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER I BOUGHT IT MAYBE ONCE A WEEK AND NOW IT'S A FEW TIMES A WEEK THIS HAPPENS.
TWO TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR FROM A STOP. YESTERDAY (7/25/16) IT OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND NEARLY RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT!
FIRST INCIDENT: PUT CAR IN REVERSE, PUSHED ACCELERATOR, AND CAR WOULD NOT MOVE BUT ACCELERATED TO 4000 RPM. SECOND INCIDENT: BACKED OUT OF PARKING SPACE INTO TRAFFIC, PUT CAR IN DRIVE, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, RAMS ROSE OVER 6000, SWITCHED FROM PARK TO DRIVE NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO RESULTS. SWITCHED I TO SPORT MODE AND DROPPED INTO 1ST GEAR AND GOT CAR MOVING. THIRD INCIDENT WAS SAME AS INCIDENT 2 BUT CAR WOULD ONLY MOVE LESS THAN 10 MPH IN VERY HIGH RPMS. RESTARTED, BUT STILL DIDN'T WORK. WAS TOLD BY HYUNDAI THE FIRST TIME IT WAS HOW I DRIVE. THEY NOW ADMIT TO A PROBLEM THAT MIGHT BE FIXABLE 30 DAYS FROM NOW.GETTING A RUNAROUND FROM DEALER AND THIS PROBLEM IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET.
FROM A STATIONARY START THE VEHICLE RPMS RISE BUT DOES NOT ALWAYS MOVE FORWARD. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE TUCSON HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS UP TO SEVERAL FEET FROM A STOP BEFORE ENGAGING AND MOVING FORWARD. CAN'T RELY ON IT WHEN TURNING LEFT ACROSS TRAFFIC. NO ISSUES ON FREEWAYS, ONLY FROM STOPS ON CITY STREETS.
AT STOPS ON CITY STREETS THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE AND MOVE FORWARD. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS ROLLED BACKWARDS UP TO 3 FT. BEFORE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND MOVES FORWARD. ADDITIONALLY THE CAR ATTEMPTS TO STALL AFTER BACKING OUT AND SHIFTING TO DRIVE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM DID NOT FUNCTION AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO CHIME WITH A WARNING INDICATOR STATING THAT THE SENSOR WAS OBSTRUCTED. AFTER MANUALLY BLOCKING THE SENSOR, IT DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED DUE TO NO ERROR CODES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 3,113. UPDATED 09/23/16*LJ *CN
I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON SPORT 1.6 TURBO. IT HAS A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. EVERYTIME I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR SLOWLY THE CAR TAKES 5 SECONDS TO START MOVING. WHEN IT DOES MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CHATTERS AND IS NOT SMOOTH. AS I AM SLOWING DOWN , STOP, THEN PROCEED TO GO THE TRANS EITHER DOES NOT ENGAGE OR THERE IS A 5 SECOND DELAY , CHATTERS , AND THEN TAKES OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I THINK IT IS GOING TO GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHEN I AM TURING. WHICH IT HAS DONE AT LEAST 10 + TIMES. I ALMOST GOT HIT 6 TIMES. IF YOU LOOK ON HYUNDAI FORUMS AND YOUTUBE IT IS A WIDESPREAD COMPLAINT. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX. IT IS GOING INTO THE DEALERSHIP THIS THURSDAY 7/28/16. I HAVE OVER 25 YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY, AND HAVE 15 YRS DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE.
STANDING AT RED LIGHT WITH FOOT ON BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN LIGHT CHANGE TO GREEN, I TOK FOOT OF BRAKE AND STEPT ON GAS PEDAL. THE ENGEN STARTED TO RACE BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AFTER SEVEREL SECONDS AND CARS BEHIND ME HONKING THEIR HORN, CAR WOULD LURCH FORWARD AND SLOWELY GAIN SPEED. I WAS GOING STRAIT FORWARD SO I DID NOT CUT ANYONE OFF. IF I HAD BEEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON THIS TWO WAY STREET, I MOSTLIKELY WOULD HAVE HIT SOMEONE OR THEY WOULD HAVE HIT ME. BRINGING CAR TO ISLAND HYUNDAI ON STATEN ISLAND N.Y. TOMORROW .
I WAS AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WAITING FOR THE LIGHT TO TURN GREEN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I DEPRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND MY CAR BARELY MOVED. THE RPM'S REV'D UP BUT THE CAR WAS BARELY MOVING. I THOUGHT I WAS IN NEUTRAL AT FIRST BUT WAS NOT. I KEPT HITTING THE GAS TRYING TO GET POWER TO THE CAR TO GET THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. CARS BEHIND ME WERE BEEPING. THE CAR FINALLY FOUND A GEAR AND CONTINUED ON. THAT WAS SCARY. IF I WERE MAKING A LEFT TURN SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN WORSE! I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW. THIS SEEMS TO BE A GROWING ISSUE WITH OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND THE DEALERSHIP. I WANT TO HELP GET THE WORD OUT TO ESCALATED THE FIX FOR THIS ISSUE OR A RESOLUTION.
VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE AND/OR ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL OR IT MOVES IN A VERY "JERKY" MANNER. I DO MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AFTER I HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. HAPPENED ONCE AFTER I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE HAD BEEN OFF. SO AFTER I AM STOPPED, AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I HIT THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVS AND THE TACH CAN HIT 4000RPMS BUT I EITHER DON'T MOVE OR MOVE A MATTER OF INCHES. USUALLY LASTS 20 - 30 SECONDS. LAST WEEKEND IT WAS 45 SECONDS. (IT IS AS IF THE CAR IS IN PARK, WHICH IT IS NOT). EVENTUALLY THE CAR MOVES. FIRST STARTED AT ABOUT 6400 MILES; I NOW HAVE 7500 ON IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE BACKING UP AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY SAID IT IS JUST THE WAY THIS CAR RUNS. (THEY ALSO MENTIONED THEY HAVE STARTED GETTING COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE WITH THIS MODEL CAR.) THE UPDATE DID NOTHING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM AFRAID OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *BF
AFTER COMING TO FULL STOP AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRYING TO PROCEED THE DUAL CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE.THIS CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS INCLUDING CAUGHT IN INTERSECTION TURNING LEFT OR BEING REAR-ENDED.
NUMEROUS VISITS TO A SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH NO RESULTS. NO MOVEMENT FROM A STOP, RPMS REVVED UPWARDS TO 6000, FINALLY SCREECHED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. TOTAL UNSAFE VEHICLE TO DRIVE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.
VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, AFTER LIGHT TURN GREEN AND APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. HIGH RPMS AND ZERO SPEED. THIRTY SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED INTO GEAR AND STARTED ACCELERATING THE WAY IT SHOULD.
I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO DEALER (AT 6800 MILES) BECAUSE OF SIGNIFICANT JUMPINESS AND HESITATION. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS "NORMAL" EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT DOING THIS EARLIER. THEN LESS THAN 1 WEEK LATER, MY CAR REFUSED TO MOVE. WAS DRIVING, CAME TO A RED LIGHT AND STOPPED NORMALLY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD NOT DRIVE. RPMS REVVED UP TO 4000/5000 AND ...NOTHING. I MOVED THROUGH THE GEARS, TRIED DIFFERENT MODES, AND GOT THE CAR TO INCH FORWARD WITH HIGH REVS OF THE ENGINE. THIS WAS GOOD CUZ I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROADWAY. IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY AND I WAS AFRAID I WOULD GET REAR ENDED. FINALLY, CAR DECIDED IT WOULD DRIVE. GOT HOME. NEXT MORNING BACKED OUT OF GARAGE, AND NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. I DON'T BELIEVE THEY KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. ONE PERSON SAYS WAITING FOR HYUNDAI TO TELL THEM SOMETHING. ANOTHER SAYS SOFTWARE ISSUE. INTERNET POSTINGS SUGGEST CLUTCH ASSEMBLY ACTUATOR. I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN GOOD FAITH, BUT I BELIEVE THEY KNEW THERE WERE ISSUES.
ON TWO OCCASIONS, WHEN MY TUCSON WAS AT A STOP (IN DRIVE, BRAKE ENGAGED), RELEASING THE BRAKE AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATOR RESULTED IN THE CAR STALLING, STAYING IN PLACE AND THE ENGINE REVVING AS IF THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO GO BY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, TURNING THE ENGINE OFF, TURNING THE ENGINE BACK ON THEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS IN A DRIVE-THRU. POWERING THE VEHICLE OFF AND PUTTING IT IN PARK, THEN DRIVE DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I REVVED THE ENGINE, PUTTING A LOT OF FORCE DOWN ONTO THE GAS PEDAL AND MY VEHICLE SLOWLY BEGAN ROLLING FORWARD. AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE DRIVE-THRU, I HAD TO DO THIS AGAIN AND ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT UP TO A SPEED OF 30MPH OR SO, IT APPEARED TO RETURN TO NORMAL WITH SHIFTING.
I HAVE A 2016 TUCSON LIMITED - PURCHASED 2/2016...HAS 2700 MILES ON IT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALWAYS BEEN "JUMPY" BUT LAST WEEK AND THE WEEK BEFORE I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT A SIGNAL AND WHEN I WENT TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENED. THE RPM'S WENT UP TO 6000 RPM BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE...IT WAS VERY SCARY AND I CAME SO CLOSE TO GETTING HIT. I HAD PEOPLE COMING TOWARD ME AND BEHIND ME GOING 40 MPH. I KEPT PRESSING THE PEDAL AND IT FINALLY TOOK OFF...I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE FIRST TIME AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE IT AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO KNOWN ISSUE. I TOOK IT AGAIN YESTERDAY AND THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL AND THEY CALLED TODAY AND SAID THEY DID A 'SOFTWARE UPDATE' AND ITS FIXED. I WILL SEE HOW IT GOES. BUT IT WILL BE HARD TO EVER DRIVE THIS CAR WITH ANY CONFIDENCE AGAIN.
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGINE/TRANSMISSION LAGS AND ENGINE BOGS DOWN. AFTER ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS, CAR WILL THEN ACCELERATE TOO QUICKLY. UNABLE TO SAFELY PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FEARING CAR WILL INCH INTO STREET TOO SLOWLY AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS A CONSTANT ISSUE FROM THE DAY I BOUGHT IT NEW FROM DEALER. THE CAR NOW HAS 5100 MILES AND THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN THE HESITATION.
WHEN YOU ARE EITHER STOPPED OR IN MOTION THE CAR HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN PULLING IN TRAFFIC YOUR RPM'S ARE GOING UP AND YOUR WHEELS ARE NOT MOVING. THIS NEW TYPE OF TRANSMISSION (DUEL CLUTCH) DOES NOT FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOU HIT GAS IT EITHER HESITATES AND JERKS AHEAD. ALSO GETTING MESSAGE OF THE TRANSMISSION GETTING HOT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC. I THINK THIS IS A ISSUE NOT ONLY WITH HYUNDAI, BUT OTHER CAR MAKERS
I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE ENGINES REVS BUT IT WONT DRIVE. ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN I'M AT A STOP OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED BECAUSE AN APPROACHING CAR DIDN'T SEE ME STOPPED AT THE LIGHT BUT I COULD NOT GO. I TRIED TURNING OFF AND ON, PUTTING INTO REVERSE AND NOTHING. AGAIN THE ENGINE REVS, SOUNDS LIKE ITS NOT IN GEAR. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS ADDRESSED. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED. THE PROBLEM RESOLVES ITSELF USUALLY AFTER A FEW MINUTES BUT IT LEAVES YOU STUCK IN TRAFFIC. THE DRIVE TRAIN, TRANSMISSION, ETC MUST BE DEFECTIVE! I HAVE 3600 MILES ON THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD REPLICATE THE PROBLEM (OF COURSE!). VERY LITTLE POWER AND LETS YOU GET TO ABOUT 20 MILES PER HOUR - VERY DANGEROUS! I'VE READ ONLINE ABOUT NUMEROUS OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE - PLEASE HELP!
DCT TRANSMISSION HESITATES OFF THE LINE ON NORMAL ACCELERATION; EVERY TIME YOU TAKE OFF FROM A DEAD STOP. VERY IRRITATING, NEVER SURE OF A QUICK SMOOTH ACCELERATION. IF YOU ROLL TO ALMOST A STOP THEN ACCELERATE BRISKLY, CLUTCHES WILL HESITATE BEFORE ENGAGING SEVERAL SECONDS, THEN GRAB CAUSING THE CAR TO LUNGE. SEVERAL TIMES A MONTH - I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW, NOW HAS 10K MILES. WHEN SITTING STILL AT RED LIGHT, THEN ACCELERATE SLOWLY NOTHING HAPPENS -THIS IS LIKE YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL. I HAVE TO PHYSICALLY KNOCK THE GEAR SHIFT IN LOW THEN BACK TO DRIVE, ETC., TO FINALLY GET THE CLUTCHES TO ENGAGE.-I HAVE HAD TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND WAVE PEOPLE AROUND SEVERAL TIMES. DEALER SAID NORMAL FOR DCT NOTHING NOW CAN BE DONE BUT HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO COME UP WITH A SOFT-WARE FIX. THEY HAVE DONE ONE ALREADY BUT NO FIX AND CAR VIBRATES-CONSUMER REPORTS TALKS ABOUT THIS ON LINE.
AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT STARTED TO PROCEED WHEN LIGHT CHANGED. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AND ACTUALLY ROLLED BACKWARD A BIT AFTER RELEASING BRAKE. RPM'S INCREASED WITH DEPRESSION OF GAS PEDAL BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT TOOK A MORE THAN 10 SECONDS FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE BUT EVEN THEN IT WAS BARELY ENGAGING (CAR WOULD BARELY MOVE). TERRIBLY SCARY MOMENT ON A BUSY HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR.
WHILE AT A RED LIGHT WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN PRESSED THE GAS AND ENGINE JUST REVED TO ABOUT 5000 RPM WITH NO MOVEMENT. CAR WAS IN DRIVE TRIED AGAIN CAR REVED AGAIN AND SUDDENLY STARTED MOVING. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND I ONLY PURCHASED IT A WEEK AGO.
WHILE SITTING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS, UPON ACCELERATION THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. RPMS INCREASED HOWEVER THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. USUALLY PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE WOULD WORK. I TOOK THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ON JULY 6,2016 THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE ON THE COMPUTER, AS WELL AS THE TECH DRIVING DID EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN VERY GOOD WITH KEEPING US UP TO DATE. WE WAITING TO HEAR FROM HYUNDAI ON HOW THEY INTEND ON FIXING THIS ISSUE. I AM BEING TOLD THEY COULD POSSIBLY HAVE THE CAR FOR 3 WEEKS OR LONGER. THE CAR HAS BEEN DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE.
WAS SITTING STILL AND ATTEMPTED TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE ENGINE SHOWED RPM'S MOVING BUT VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN CAR WAS VERY SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND TURNING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
ON TWO OCCASIONS, CAR WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND FOOT WAS LET OFF THE BRAKE AND APPLIED TO THE ACCELERATOR; CAR DID NOT MOVE! RPMS WENT UP; HOWEVER, CAR DID NOT MOVE.
I AM EXPERIENCING AN UNSAFE ISSUE WITH 2016 HYUNDAI NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY. BOUGHT ON 02/22/16 AT WILLIAMSBURG HYUNDAI, VA. IN MAY, EARLY JUNE, THERE WHERE 3 OCCASIONS AFTER STOPPING THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. EARLY JUNE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING, HAPPENED. THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASED BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS ALMOST HITTING THE CAR BEHIND ME. HAD TO SHIFT TO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO MOVE FORWARD. MID-JUNE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, HIT THE GAS, THE CAR SAT STILL. THE RPM'S INCREASED BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. MY WIFE HAD TO PLACE IN PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE BEFORE SHE COULD MOVE FORWARD CAUSING HER TO SIT THROUGH THE ENTIRE CYCLE ON THE LIGHT. LATE JUNE ENTERING MEG AUTO SPA (CAR WASH), STOPPED TO ENTER THE WASHING TUNNEL AND COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD UNTIL SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK AND THE BACK TO DRIVE. SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP ON 06/27/2016. TOLD THAT LAG IN SHIFTING WAS NORMAL FOR THIS VEHICLE. ASKED THEM TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE ANYWAY. DAY 1 WAS CONTACTED BY DEALERSHIP AND TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ISSUE BUT WANTED TO KEEP THE CAR FOR A WEEK TO TEST. AT THE END OF EACH DAY THEY CONTACTED US TO KEEP US INFORMED AS THE STATUS OF THE TESTING. ON FRIDAY, JULY 1ST, I WAS INFORMED THEY WERE ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AND THEY WILL SEND THE DATA TO HYUNDAI ENGINEERS TO BE STUDIED. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT OTHER DEALERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND THAT THEY ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT THE NEXT STEPS WOULD BE. WE RETURNED TO RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TUESDAY JULY 5TH WHERE WE WILL BE PROVIDED WITH A LOANER CAR WHILE THIS ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED. SO FAR THE DEALER SHIP HAS BEEN VERY COOPERATIVE AND ATTENTIVE TO OUR SITUATION. HOWEVER, AS OF TODAY, JUNE 14, 2016 THEY STILL HAVE OUR CAR AND THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE.
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.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED AND THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE REARVIEW MIRROR. THE CONTACT COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND WAS ABLE TO RESUME DRIVING. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
HAVE HAD FOUR INSTANCES WHERE THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERS AN ISSUE WITH MOVING FORWARD AFTER COMING TO A STOP. FIRST INSTANCE AT A STOP LIGHT, WAS UNABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AT ALL. ENGINE WOULD REV WHEN APPLYING GAS, BUT THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOVEMENT AT ALL. VEHICLE WAS NOT PLACED INTO PARK, OR HAD BRAKE ENGAGED. AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF "PLAYING" WITH GEAR SHIFT, WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. THREE OTHER INSTANCES, AFTER COMING TO A STOP, VEHICLE WOULD ONLY CREEP FORWARD AT SLOW SPEED FOR A FEW MOMENTS EVEN IF FULLY "STEPPING ON THE GAS". IN THESE INSTANCES I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS STUCK REVVING HIGH (WAS AUDIBLE WHILE AT STOP) AND AFTER DRIVING SLOW FOR A FEW MINUTES IT SORTED ITSELF OUT. THE ENGINE STOPPED BEING STUCK AT HIGH RPMS AND THE VEHICLE REGAINED ITS ABILITY TO DRIVE FORWARD WITH USUAL HANDLING. HAVE TAKEN IT TWICE TO DEALERSHIP WHILE MENTIONING THIS ISSUE, WAS TOLD THAT UNLESS THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE OR IF IT COULD BE DUPLICATED BY THEIR TECH, NOTHING COULD REALLY BE DONE. FOURTH AND MOST RECENT ISSUE, WAS IN A DRIVE THROUGH, AND THE ISSUE CAME ABOUT UPON EXITING. ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGH FROM A COMPLETE STOP, BUT WOULD ONLY CREEP FORWARD WHEN APPLYING GAS. AFTER DRIVING SLOW COMING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THE ISSUE "SORTED ITSELF OUT." ENGINE RPMS DROPPED AND ACCELERATION RETURNED TO NORMAL.
2016 TUSCON LIMITED..SAME ISSUE AS INDICATED HERE WITH DISENGAGED DCT TRANSMISSION AFTER BEING STOPPED, OR VERY SLOW SPEEDS. AT 3500 MILES MINE STARTED WITH A VIBRATION AT 1-2 MPH, DEALER NOTED THE ISSUE BUT HAD NO FIX. ENGINEER WAS SENT TO REVIEW. NOW AT 6000 MILES MY TRANSMISSION STARTED TO DISENGAGE AT RANDOM TIMES. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND A CASE WAS OPEN. MY BUSINESS PARTNER ALSO PURCHASED ONE ON THE SAME WEEKEND AS I DID, AND SOME FRIENDS DID ALSO A FEW MONTHS LATER. ALL 3 OF THE CARS ARE AT THE DEALERSHIP. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND I WILL NOT LET HER DRIVE IT. I HAVE REQUESTED A BUYBACK. IF I DO NOT GET THIS TO HAPPEN SOON, I WILL SEEK LEMON LAW OR OPEN UP A CLASS ACTION. VERY UNSAFE AND ONLY A MATTER OF TIME SOMEONE IS KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED ON A LEFT TURN INTERSECTION
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.
THE VEHICLE MAKES A SOUND IN THE DASH AREA SINCE IT WAS BOUGHT. AFTER SEVERAL INSPECTIONS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHERE THE LEFT FRONT POST WELDS WERE LOOSE OR WERE NOT PERFORMED.
PROBLEM WITH DCT TRANSMISSION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS DIFFICULTIES ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT. WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS AND YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AFTER A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND JERKS BACK AND FORTH BUT DOES NOT FULLY ACCELERATE. ALSO, SOMETIMES IT FAILS TO MOVE AT ALL EVEN THOUGH THE RPMS GO UP TO 4000-5000 RANGE. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN IF YOU ARE TRYING TO CROSS THROUGH TRAFFIC AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE.
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN THE LEFT TURN LANE OF AN INTERSECTION. WHEN THE TURN ARROW WENT GREEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF PARK TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE FINALLY STARTED MOVING. ONCE I WAS UNDERWAY THE ENGINE STARTED REVVING BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY GO. I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET OUT OF HARMS WAY. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED RESPONDING NORMALLY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE HAD BEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES REPORTED SIMILAR TO THIS. THEY PLAN TO RESET THE DCT TO FACTORY SETTINGS BUT I NOW HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. ..UPDATED 06/08/17 *BF
WE ARE NOTICING A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION. RANDOMLY AT RED LIGHTS AFTER WE STOP...ONCE THE GREEN LIGHT APPEARS AND WE PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE...THE CAR DOES NOT GO ANYWHERE...THE ENGINE JUST KEEPS REVING. IT'S STARTING TO BE MORE FREQUENT. THIS ALMOST CAUSED US AN ACCIDENT OVER TEN TIMES NOW. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE BEHIND THE CAR ANYMORE AND CONSIDERING TRADING IT IN ALREADY.
ABOUT MID-MAY OF THIS YEAR MY HUSBAND EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ACCELERATION (AS IF IN STUCK IN NEUTRAL) AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE, THE CAR REVVED TO 3500-4000, BUT THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARDS. THE CAR WAS WITHOUT POWER FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS THEN TERRIFYINGLY LURCHED FORWARD AS THOUGH SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 06/21/2016 AND WERE TOLD THAT OUR CAR NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND ALL THE ADAPTIVE VALUES WERE RESET. WE TOOK OUR TUCSON BACK. ON 07/07/16 IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, OUR TUCSON LOST ACCELERATION/POWER AGAIN WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM A BUSY RED LIGHT. THE ENGINE JUST REVVED UP TO 4000+ RMP, ROLLED BACKWARDS AND HAD NO POWER OR FORWARD ACCELERATION. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND THE LOSS OF POWER WAS ABOUT 20 SECONDS. WE IMMEDIATELY CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO BRING OUR TUCSON IN IMMEDIATELY. OUR CAR WAS KEPT FOR SEVERAL DAYS AND ON MONDAY MORNING, JULY 11TH I RECEIVED A CALL STATING THAT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE LOSS OF POWER AND NO ERROR MESSAGES WERE IDENTIFIED AND "THAT WAS JUST HOW THE DUAL TRANSMISSION (DCT) FUNCTIONS". I PICKED UP MY CAR, DROVE ABOUT TWO BLOCKS AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND LOST ALL ACCELERATION/POWER AGAIN WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO A BUSY STREET FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS TIME THE LOSS OF POWER WAS A FULL 45 SECONDS OR MORE. THE ENGINE REVVED TO OVER 6000 RPM AND SPUTTERED, SLIPPING IN AND OUT OF WHAT FELT LIKE NEUTRAL, IT WAS TERRIFYING AND I WAS ALMOST HIT! I IMMEDIATELY RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED THAT SOMEONE TEST DRIVE WITH ME BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR WOULD BE LOOKING AT MY CAR. THE LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OUR TUCSON. THE DEALERSHIP SEEMED COMPLETELY AT A LOSS AS TO WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM.
SOMETIME WHEN UP PULL OFF FROM A STOP THE CAR WILL STOP PULLING FORWARD AND THE RPM'S WILL RUN UP TO 4000-5000 AND THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE. YOU HAVE TO PUT IN BACK INTO PARK THEN BACK TO DRIVE TO GET IT MOVING AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC COMING AT YOU.
ORIGINALLY POSTED TO THIS WEBSITE ON OR ABOUT 6/13/16. STOPPED AT RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATOR DEPRESSED. ENGINE REV'ED TO 4-5K BUT CAR FAILED TO MOVE. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND THEN TRIED AGAIN. SAT THRU 3 RED LIGHTS BEFORE CAR WOULD GO FORWARD. IT WAS VERY JERKY AND HESITANT THEN CAR PICKED UP SPEED. THIS WAS SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. FIRST TIME I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD HIT THE BRAKE AND NOT GAS PEDAL. DROVE IMMEDIATEL TO DEALER AND TOLD THEM OF ISSUE. THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR SINCE JUNE 10, 2016. SERVICE TECH WAS ABLE TO ACTUALLY CAPTURE ON VIDEO (WHILE TEST DRIVING) MY GEAR SHIFT IN DRIVE AND CAR MOVING IN REVERSE. HYUNDAI USA, THE DEARLERSHIP AND MYSELF HAVE BEEN IN FREQUENT CONTACT. HYUNDAI HAS NO IDEA WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY SAY THE KOREAN ENGINEERS ARE INVESTIGATING. WHEN I ORGINALLY POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE THERE I COULD ONLY FIND THIS TYPE OF ISSUE FOR A 2015 TUSCON. I NOTE TODAY THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS IDENTICAL TO MINE. THIS CAR IS LESS THAN ONE YEAR OLD (OWNED ) WITH LESS THAN 17K MILES. INABILITY TO CONTROL DIRECTIONAL MOTION OR SPEED WHEN IT DOES MOVE IS NOT SAFE TO MYSELF OR OTHERS. MAJORITY OF MY DRIVING IS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS .
THE VEHICLE IS A LIMITED WITH DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). VEHICLE HAS 1,052 MILES ON IT, AND I PURCHASED NEW ONE MONTH AGO. STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT HEAD OF LINE. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE AND BEGAN TO APPLY GAS PEDAL. CAR IS IN DRIVE, STANDARD MODE. ENGINE WOULD REV, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. SWITCHED TO MANUAL SHIFT AND STILL NO MOVEMENT. PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE, THOUGH ENGINE WOULD REV. ONCE TRAFFIC CLEARED FROM BEHIND ME, I WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE REVERSE AND BACK THE VEHICLE INTO A PARKING LOT. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL WOULD NOT ENGAGE ANY OF THE FORWARD GEARS, BUT WOULD ENGAGE REVERSE GEAR. I WAITED AN HOUR WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING AND IN PARK FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. EVEN THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR COULD NOT MAKE THE VEHICLE ENGAGE A FORWARD GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. AFTER ONE WHOLE DAY AT THE SERVICE REPAIR, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG.
ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. THE FIRST TIME I HAD BACKED ON TO THE ROAD, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE REVS BUT NO FORWARD MOTION. I TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK THEN DRIVE, NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE. STILL NO ACCELERATION. CAR FINALLY STARTED TO CREAP FORWARD. AFTER A MILE IT WAS DRIVING FINE. THE SECOND OCCASION I WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOTION. AGAIN I TRIED PUTTING IT INTO PARK THEN DRIVE AND NEUTRAL THEN DRIVE. NO FORWARD MOTION. FINALLY IT SLOWLY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN/IF THIS WILL HAPPEN.
LAST NIGHT, I WAS IN A TRAFFIC JAM DUE TO ANOTHER CARS ACCIDENT. I WAS GOING LESS THAN 5 MILES PER HOUR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR 20 MINUTES. AFTER THE TWO LANES WERE MOVING, I PRESSED ON THE GAS AND THE ENGINE REVVED UP, BUT THERE WAS NO FORWARD MOTION. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TRIED AGAIN AND STILL NO MOTION. I TURNED THE CAR OFF TO RESET AND SAT FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES NO MOTION. I PUT MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON BECAUSE NOW I WAS MAKING TRAFFIC BE BACKED UP. A POLICE OFFICER BUMP PUSHED MY CAR WITH HIS POLICE VEHICLE, SO I COULD GET OUT OF THE TWO LANE ROAD, SINCE IT WAS NOT SAFE TO PUSH THE CAR INTO A SAFER AREA FOR TOWING. HE SCRATCHED UP MY BUMPER DO THESE ACTIONS, WHICH SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE, AND I WOULD LIKE HYUNDAI TO FIX MY BUMPER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, AND IT IS A 2016 LIMITED TUCSON, WHICH CAME WITH ALL THE PERKS, AND YET NOTHING SHOWED UP WHEN I TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER. THE MECHANIC WITNESSED THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER I HAD IT TOWED THERE, THE FOLLOWING MORNING. THEY WORKED ON IT AND SAID IT COULDN'T BE FIXED BECAUSE THERE WERE NO WARNINGS LIGHTS OR COMPUTER ERRORS. THEY SAID IT WAS A DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM PROBLEM AND THEY COULDN'T FIX IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT'S BEING DONE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM THAT IS HAPPENING NATIONALLY, AS I HAVE SEEN MANY REPORTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S WORKING NOW, DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIX.
THIS CAR HAS UNDER 2000 MILES. IT LURCHES FORWARD, REVS UP AND WILL NOT ADVANCE WHEN IN DRIVE, NOT ONLY FROM A FULL STOP BUT EVEN WHEN MOVING IN TRAFFIC. AT TIMES WILL ONLY GO IN REVERSE. SINCE 500M IT HAS HESITATED WHEN TAKING OFF OR PASSING OTHER TRAFFIC. (ALSO...THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS FAILED TO PUT OUT COOL AIR. )THIS IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND NO ONE IS LISTENING. NO ANSWERS AND NO HELP. DOES SOMEONE REALLY HAVE TO DIE, THE SAME PROBLEM IS REPEATED OVER AND OVER. THIS IS NOT A SMALL INCONVENIENCE IT IS DANGEROUS. OWNERS ARE POSTING ALL OVER- THIS SAME COMPLAINT. I HAVE HAD THIS 35K $ CAR FOR 40 DAYS AND AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I MAY NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, IN THE CITY, IN PARKING LOTS AND PULLING INTO MY DRIVE AND GARAGE. THE DEALER SERVICE DEPT. WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE IT AND RESET THE COMPUTER, STILL DOES NOT MAKE ME FEEL SAFE. I HAVE READ WHERE IT CONTINUES OVER AND OVER. I DON'T FEEL THIS ISSUE CAN BE IGNORED, WHEN THE SAME THING IS MENTIONED OVER AND OVER - HERE AND ON OTHER WEB SITES. WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURER GOING TO DO? I AM NOT GOING TO ACCEPT THIS AS A WAIT AND SEE SITUATION AND I WILL NOT STOP UNTIL I GET ANSWERS AND A RESOLUTION. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ASAP.
VEHICLE SHIFTS INTO NEUTRAL RANDOMLY. I WAS DRIVING NORMALLY ON A CITY STREET AND SLOWING DOWN. THEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO SPEED UP AND THE ENGINE RACED (LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL). HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MOVING AND COASTED ALMOST TO A STOP. I PUT ON THE BRAKES, PUT THE VEHICLE INTO PARK, AND THEN BACK INTO DRIVE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT STARTED TO MOVE AGAIN. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.
MY CAR WAS 8 DAYS OLD WITH LESS THAN 400 MILES. WHEN PULLING OUT FROM A PARKING WITH A SLIGHT DOWNHILL DRIVE TURNING RIGHT ON TO A FOUR LANE ROAD AND EXPERIENCED NO POWER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE. I THOUGHT EITHER MY WIFE OR I ACCIDENTALLY BUMPED THE GEAR SELECTOR INTO NEUTRAL BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. TRAFFIC WAS APPROACHING AT SOMEWHERE CLOSE TO 45-50 MPH WHICH IS THE SPEED LIMIT. FORTUNATELY THE CARS COMING UP ON US WERE ABLE TO GO AROUND US. WE COASTED INTO THE OTHER DRIVEWAY ABOUT 200 FEET FROM WHERE WE ENTERED AND AFTER GETTING MY HEART RATE DOWN I WAS ABLE TO GET IT IN GEAR. WE DROVE AROUND THE LOT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RENTER THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS OUR SECOND DAY OF A 9 DAY VACATION TRIP ABOUT 200 MILES FROM HOME. WE STAYED ANOTHER WEEK AND SEVERELY LIMITED OUR DRIVING, I FILED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE AND CALLED MY SALES REP AND SERVICE DEPT AND SAID WE WERE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE RETURN TRIP HOME SINCE IT INVOLVED WINDING MOUNTAIN ROADS FROM 7000 FOOT ELEVATION TO 1000 FEET IN PHOENIX. HE ARRANGED A RENTAL CAR FOR OUR RETURN AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. WE TOOK THE RENTAL BACK AND THEY SUPPLIED US WITH A LOANER TO USE UNTIL JULY 11. WE ARE LEAVING TOWN AGAIN AND RETURNING ON THE 28TH SO THEY WILL HAVE OUR CAR TIL THEN. WE SINCERELY HOPE A FIX IS FOUND BY THEN AS WE REALLY LIKE THE CAR AND WANT TO KEEP IT BUT IF A FIX IS NOT FOUND WE WILL HAVE TO DETERMINE PLAN B. *TR
THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH LACK OF ACCELERATION IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STANDSTILL. FOR EXAMPLE, FROM A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. MOST TIMES, WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS WHEN I AM AT A STOP, THIS CAR HESITATES FOR A MOMENT BEFORE IT FINALLY LURCHES FORWARD. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN I AM PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THINK I HAVE ALLOWED MYSELF AMPLE TIME, THIS CAR HESITATES FOR SUCH A LONG TIME BEFORE FINALLY MOVING FORWARD IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.
AT TIMES, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS AT A COMPLETE STOP, IT WILL NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE WILL REV IN RPMS, AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO GO BY PLAYING WITH GEAR SELECTOR. THIS ALSO HAS HAPPENED WHEN THE CAR WAS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE FOR 7 HOURS. MOSTLY IT HAS BEEN WHEN THE WEATHER HAS BEEN IN THE 85-95 DEGREE RANGE. THIS A A NEW VEHICLE WITH VERY FEW MILES.
DCT DISENGAGES UPON STOP AND WON'T RE-ENGAGE INTO FIRST, LEAVING THE CAR IDLING AT HIGH RPM'S UNTIL THE VEHICLE FINALLY ENGAGES -POTENTIALLY DANGEROUSLY.
TODAY, JULY 6, 2016, AT APPROXIMATELY 1:35 P.M., I ELECTRONICALLY STARTED MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON VEHICLE, WHICH HAS ONLY ABOUT 6,000 MILES ON IT, AND DROVE FROM MY HOME ON A COUNTY ROAD UNTIL I REACHED A SIGNAL INTERSECTION AT A STATE HIGHWAY ABOUT 2 MILES AWAY. I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AT THE STATE HIGHWAY INTERSECTION WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING WAITING FOR THE SIGNAL LIGHT TO TURN GREEN TO TURN LEFT ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS IN DRIVE GEAR AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING BUT IT WOULD NOT GO FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS DEFINITELY RUNNING AND THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR CODE LIGHTS SHOWING ON THE DASH TO INDICATE A PROBLEM. I TURNED ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AS THERE WERE SEVERAL VEHICLES COMING UP BEHIND ME AT THE SIGNAL. I THEN TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK THEN BACK INTO DRIVE BUT THE VEHICLE STILL COULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. I TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE BACKWARDS EITHER. I THEN TRIED TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THEN BACK ON SEVERAL TIMES USING THE ELECTRONIC IGNITION BUT THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE. A POLICE OFFICER ARRIVED, PARKED BEHIND ME, AND ASSISTED WITH TRAFFIC NOW BACKED UP BEHIND ME. HE CALLED A TOW TRUCK FOR ME AND MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED THE VEHICLE A FEW MONTHS AGO. I WAS INSTANTLY CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING AND BE A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM. AS IT WAS, I WAS IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED THAT SOMEONE COMING UP BEHIND ME MIGHT CRASH INTO ME AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WHILE I WAS IMMOBILE AT THE SIGNAL. I ASKED A LADY WHO ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG WHEN SHE DROVE AROUND ME IF SHE COULD SEE MY FLASHERS AND SHE SAID SHE HAD. BOTH THE POLICE OFFICER AND MY HUSBAND CHECKED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE VEHICLE COULD NOT MOVE.
INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION FAILING TO ENGAGE 1ST GEAR FROM A STOP. ENGINE REVS BUT NO POWER GOES TO THE WHEELS. HAPPENED THREE TIMES IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS ON A VEHICLE WITH 2500 MILES. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE RESOLVED THE ISSUE ONCE BUT NOT ON THE OTHER OCCASIONS.
WHEN IN DRIVING, COMING TO A STOP, THE CAR LUNGES FORWARD, MUST KEEP FOOT ON BRAKE, HYUNDAI SAYS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE TUCSON. I THINK THIS IS A PROBLEM. REPORTED IT IN MY FIRST SERVICE AND TOLD IT'S HYUNDAI'S PROBLEM. IF I HIT SOMETHING IT'S MY PROBLEM.
FREQUENTLY THE VEHICLE HAS ISSUES TAKING OFF FROM A FULL STOP. WHEN PUSHING THE GAS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS FULLY STOPPED, IT HESITATES BEFORE ACCELERATING AND ALSO SOMETIMES THE CAR SHAKES AND VIBRATES BUT DOESNT REALLY MOVE FORWARD. A FEW TIMES THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL, THE RPMS WENT TO 3000-4000 BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS SINCE WHEN THIS OCCURS YOU BECOME STRANDED AND CANNOT MOVE PROPERLY.
THE PROBLEM IS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). AT TIMES, WHEN PROGRESSING FROM A STOP (STATIONARY), THE ENGINE RPM INCREASES NORMALLY BUT THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT IMPART MOTION TO THE WHEELS. DEALER CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE AND ON THE HYUNDAI FORUM WEBSITE. HYUNDAI IS SILENT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO RECALL THIS DCT FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT IMMEDIATELY.
FAILS TO FULLY ENGAGE GEARS, FEEL LIKE TRANSMISSION HAS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, WON'T ALWAYS GO INTO FIRST GEAR WHEN STARTING OUT. OR GOES INTO FIRST AND SECOND IS NOT THERE, NO POWER TO MOVE UNTIL FOOT IS LIFTED OFF ACCELERATOR, WAIT A FEW SECONDS THEN TRY AGAIN.
JUST LIKE SO MANY OTHER COMPLAINANTS HERE: MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FAILED TO MOVE FORWARD AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND ULTIMATELY HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALER "FIXED" THE ISSUE BY RESETTING THE TRANSMISSION MODULE. HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT INDICATE WHY IT FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE NOR COULD THEY GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. JUDGING BY THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS HERE AND AT HYUNDAI-FORUMS, THIS IS BECOMING A WIDESPREAD ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HYUNDAI. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM IF THE VEHICLE BECOMES IMMOBILE WHILE TURNING LEFT IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HYUNDAI FORUMS THREAD: HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/2016-TUCSON-IX35-MODELS/454074-DANGEROUS-HORRIBLE-DCT.HTML SAMPLE VIDEOS: HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/TCVTR_ZCYRS HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/LZX0M58VULG HTTPS://YOUTU.BE/H11K6UH1QZW
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICLE TWO WEEKS, WE EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES IN WHICH THE DCT TRANSMISSION FAILED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CROSS FOUR LANES OF TRAFFIC, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER TRAFFIC FLOW. IN ANOTHER CASE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND WHEN IT WAS PUT INTO REVERSE. SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND FAILED TO CHANGE GEARS. THIS CAR IS VERY UNSAFE AND WE HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN HYUNDAI. THIS VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AT THAT TIME THEY FOUND NO PROBLEM. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY IS IN THEIR CARE, AWAITING FURTHER CONSULTATION FROM HYUNDAI CORPORATE. HOWEVER, WE WERE TOLD THERE IS NO CURRENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. WE ARE CURRENTLY DISMAYED AND MAY BE SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE..
ON FRIDAY, JUNE 17, MY TUCSON WAS PARKED OUTSIDE FROM 4 P.M. TO 7 P.M. AND THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE LOWER 90'S. WE THEN GOT IN THE CAR AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 MILES AT 25 MILES PER HOUR TO THE REAR GATE OF THE COMMUNITY. WE STOPPED AT THE REAR GATE TO WAIT FOR IT TO OPEN, HOWEVER IT DID NOT OPEN AS IT DID NOT SENSE THE PRESENCE OF THE CAR. SO I ATTEMPTED TO BACK UP BY PLACING THE CAR IN REVERSE AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR RPM WENT TO 4000 AND THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. SO I TOOK FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR, AND UPON DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN, THE CAR RPM WENT TO AGAIN TO 4000 HOWEVER AGAIN THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. MY WIFE WAS WITH ME ASKING 'WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR IT IS NOT MOVING AND CARS ARE BEHIND US'. I THEN PLACED THE CAR IN PARK FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THE GATE WAS NOW OPENED, SO I PLACED THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR RPM WENT TO 3000 TO 4000 AGAIN, HOWEVER THE CAR BEGAN TO MOVE EXTREMELY SLOWLY, UNDER 5 MPH. IT THEN SHIFTED, JERKING AS IT MOVED FORWARD AND SHIFTING. AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 200 FEET THE CAR BEGAN TO SHIFT AND DRIVE IN A NORMAL MANNER. THIS IS THE 6TH OR 7TH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, HOWEVER USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO GO FORWARD FROM A STOP. THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND DOES NOT MOVE, ENGINE REVS UP BUT DOES NOT MOVE. TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT HAPPEN AT THE DEALERSHIP.. THE CHECK OUT THE CAR AND STATE THAT THEY FIND NO ERROR CODES AND THE CAR IS OPERATING NORMALLY.
IN TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS ABOUT A MONTH APART, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SEVERAL OTHER CARS. WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR, THE ENGINE REVVED, BUT THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. IT WOULD GO BACKWARD, BUT NOT FORWARD. A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR A FEW MINUTES THAT SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS TOO HOT AND I SHOULD STOP THE CAR SAFELY. (LIKE IT WASN'T ALREADY UTTERLY STOPPED, IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT-TURN LANE.) AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE WARNING LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD NOT GO FORWARD, FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER ABOUT 2,400 MILES. THE DEALER SAID THAT HYUNDAI TECHNICAL TOLD HIM THERE WAS AN UPDATE TO THE SENSOR SOFTWARE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HE PERFORMED THE UPDATE. SECOND INCIDENT WAS ABOUT A MONTH AND 600 MILES LATER. DIFFERENT TRAFFIC LIGHT, DIFFERENT LEFT TURN LANE, SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME, AS I WAITED 2 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK, AFTER ABOUT 25 MINUTES, THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY DROPPED BACK INTO GEAR AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT 2-3 BLOCKS BEFORE IT STOPPED DEAD AGAIN AT ANOTHER TRAFFIC LIGHT. IN THE REMAINING 90 MINUTES WHILE I WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK, THE CAR WOULD SPORADICALLY BE ABLE TO LURCH FORWARD A FEW FEET IN LOW GEAR BEFORE DROPPING OUT OF GEAR AGAIN AND STOPPING. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER WHO TRIED TO DRIVE THE CAR UP THE TRUCK RAMP EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND VERIFIED IT. CAR HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER NOW FOR OVER A WEEK. TODAY, HYUNDAI TECHNICAL GAVE IT A "FAST TRACK" NUMBER. SERVICE MANAGER IS STILL WAITING FOR DIRECTION FROM HYUNDAI TECHNICAL FOR WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT. HE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE FIRST CAR HE HAS SEEN WITH THIS PROBLEM. AND WHILE MY CAR HAS BEEN IN HIS SHOP THIS WEEK, ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.
HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE IT STAYS IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING. SOMETIMES IT DOWNSTHITS FOR NO REASON WHICH MADE YOU SLOW DOWN. TROUBLE SHIFTING GEARS. ALSO WHEN YOU TRY TO MOVE THE DRIVING STICK TO MANUAL IT WON'T SWITCH OVER.
DUAL CLUTCH PROBLEMS LIKE OTHERS I WAS SIMPLY STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS AND NO MOVEMENT, AT FIRST I THOUGHT THE CAR STALLED BECAUSE THE AC WAS ON HIGH, AND THEN I PRESSED AGAIN AND SEE THE TACK REVVING UP. I WAS SO SHOCKED I COULD NOT EVEN THINK TO USE THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND TRIED THE SHIFTER, THEN EVERY DRIVE MODE AND EVEN AWD TO NO AVAIL. I SHUT THE CAR OFF IN PARK AND RE STARTED STILL NO GO, IT WOULD BACK UP, LUCKILY MY SISTER WAS BEHIND ME, WE HAD JUST LEFT OUR MOTHERS 95TH BIRTHDAY. I GOT OUT STARTED TO PUSH AND NOTICED IT STILL IN DRIVE (GLAD IT DID NOT TAKE OFF WITH MY WIFE IN THERE) I QUICKLY PUT IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED RIGHT ON A DOWNHILL GRADE TO PARKING LOT, WHILE COASTING I PUT IN DRIVE AND REV THE ENGINE AND FEEL IT TRYING TO SLIGHTLY MOVE. THE HYUNDAI DEALER IS MILE AWAY SO I DECIDE TO TRY AND GET IT THERE EVEN THOUGH IT IS MEMORIAL DAY. WHILE REVVING IT TO GET THERE I DID GET THE TRANSMISSION TEMP HOT WARNING TO PULL OVER AND STOP, I DID NOT SINCE I WAS ALMOST THERE. I SHOULD HAVE LEFT THE CAR RUN BUT SHUT IT OFF, SOME SALES PEOPLE WHERE THERE BUT NO MECHANICS. IT WOULD NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR THE SALESMAN AFTER SITTING JUST A SHORT TIME. THIS HAPPENED 5/30/16 AT APPX. 2800 MILES 3 WEEKS LATER WITH THEM UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND 3100 MILES, I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER HE PROCEEDS TO EXPLAIN THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR CAR ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI IT IS ACTING AS IT WAS DESIGNED AND HYUNDAI NEEDS TO INFORM THE OWNERS THEY MUST DRIVE THIS CAR LIKE A STANDARD (HUH). IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC YOU CANNOT EDGE THE CAR FORWARD THIS IS ALLOWING THE CLUTCHES TO SLIP AND OVERHEAT BUT INSTEAD YOU MUST LEAVE A 1 TO 2 CAR LENGTH GAP THEN GET THE CAR UP TO 3MPH AND STOP AGAIN IF NEEDED . THIS IS VERY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION IT IS PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH EVERY STOP ANY DRIVER MAKES IN THIS CAR.
THERE IS A DELAY BETWEEN WHEN YOU HIT THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY ACCELERATES, WHICH CAUSES ME TO PRESS HARDER AND CAUSES THE CAR TO JERK FORWARD WHEN IT ACCELERATES. THERE IS ALSO A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE LEVEL OF JERKING WHEN THE CAR SHIFTS GEARS. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE WHEN I WANT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION OR BEAT A YELLOW LIGHT THE DELAY CAUSES THE CAR TO TAKE LONGER TO SPEED UP. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN ACCELERATING AT A GREEN LIGHT BECAUSE OF THE DELAY, I PRESS HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR AND WHEN THE CAR ACTUALLY STARTS MOVING IT JERKS FORWARD AT AN UNWANTED SPEED AND I HAVE TO THEN BRAKE TO AVOID GOING FASTER THAN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO, SOMETIMES THE CAR SEEMS TO STALL WHEN I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS REV UP TO 5000 RPMS, BUT THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. I HAVE HAD THESE PROBLEM ALMOST FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT THE CAR. NOT ONLY IS THE CAR NOT ENJOYABLE TO DRIVE - TO SAY THE LEAST - IT ALSO MAY BE UNSAFE.
THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE WITH THE DCT TRANSMISSION. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOPLIGHT, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE AFTER RELEASING BRAKE/APPLYING GAS PEDAL. VEHICLE SHOWS THAT IS IN "D". TRIED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN "P" AND BACK IN "D"; VEHICLE STILL DOES NOT MOVE. PUTTING THE SHIFTER IN MANUAL MODE STILL SHOWS "D" INSTEAD OF THE ACTUAL GEAR IT IS IN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A HYUNDAI DEALER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE SO THEY DID NOTHING TO RESOLVE ISSUE.
UPDATE TO COMPLAINT 10876205... THE DAY AFTER I POSTED THE COMPLAINT, I WAS TAKING A LEFT HAND TURN PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN, IT SLOWLY SLIPPED INTO 1ST GEAR AND AS THERE WAS A CAR COMING CROSSWAYS RAPIDLY, I STEPPED ON THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE MORE, THE ENGINE REVVED UP ~ 4000 RPM IN 2ND GEAR BUT WASN'T MOVING ANY FASTER, JERKED INTO 3RD, WAS ALMOST HIT. I TOOK MY TUCSON BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY (06/24/16) AND THEY STILL HAVE IT (06/28/16). IS ANYONE GOING TO STEP IN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED?
I HAVE HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED 1.6T WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ONLY HAD MY NEW CAR 2 WEEKS AND HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE OF THE CAR TO MOVE IN DRIVE 4 TIMES. EACH TIME THE CAR WAS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK OR REVERSE AND THE ENGINE REVS BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE FOR ~ 5 MINUTES THEN SLOWLY MOVES. THERE ARE WIDE SPREAD REPORTS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM BUT IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS SUCH AS THE FAILURE OCCURRING IN TRAFFIC.
THE VEHICLE HAS REFUSED TO ACCELERATE 3 TIMES WHEN THE TEMP IS > 90 DEGREES AND THE VEHICLE HAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN/LIGHT. IT ACTS LIKE THE CLUTCH ON A MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED, BUT IT'S AN AUTOMATIC. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN 3 TIMES AND THE MILEAGE IS ONLY 6300 MILES. I PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN AND THE ENGINE REVS, BUT NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT HAPPENS. IT TAKES > 30 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE RELUCTANTLY MOVES. IT IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC.
JUST AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED ON THREE OCCASIONS I HAVE NOT HAD MOVEMENT TO THE WHEELS WHEN IN DRIVE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU ARE IN NEUTRAL AND HITTING THE GAS. LUCKING TWO OF THE TIMES THIS OCCURRED WHILE LEAVING MY GARAGE, THE OTHER TIME WAS WHILE AT A RED LIGHT THAT TURNED GREEN. THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. IT IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, I AM VERY SCARED TO DRIVE IT. IT IS NOW IN THE SHOP FOR A SECOND TIME. HOWEVER, THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE VEHICLES COMPUTER. I'M NERVOUS THEY ARE GOING TO WANT ME TO TAKE IT BACK WHEN IT IS SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS STARTED HAPPENING AROUND THE 6,000 MILES MARK.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FELT AS THOUGH IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED IN MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND DRIVEN HOME. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE ISSUE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN DRIVE AND YOU ARE STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR WAITING TO MAKE A TURN AND THEN YOU GO TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT'S IN NEUTRAL OR LIMPS ALONG. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND YOU GO TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. CLEARLY IN MY VIDEO, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CAR IS AT A STOP, THE CAR IS IN DRIVE AND THIS TIME THE CAR DIDN'T EVEN MOVE UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS PRODUCING 4500RPM'S AND THEN ONLY ACHIEVED 7MPH. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THE CAR HAS NEUTRALED OUT OR THE GEAR IS SLIPPING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI TWO TIMES CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, THE FIRST TIME THE TECH WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE OUR CONCERN AND THEY PERFORMED A 'RELEARN' ON THE TRANSMISSION. THE SECOND TIME THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND WE WERE SENT ON OUR WAY AS IF EVERYTHING WAS OK. THIS CONCERN IS DANGEROUS AND WE ARE SCARED, LITERALLY TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE I WAS ALMOST T-BONED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND VEHICLE DIDN'T RESPOND. OUR CONCERN IS INTERMITTENT AND HYUNDAI JUST SENDS US ON OUR WAY AS IF NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO ME, MYSELF OR MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF THIS VEHICLE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE POWERTRAIN. HYUNDAI HAS DECLINED MY REQUEST TO REPURCHASE OR REPLACE UNDER THE ARIZONA LEMON LAW. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS AND NOW HYUNDAI IS NOT HELPING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. I HAVE A COUPLE OFF VIDEOS SHOWING THE CAR DEMONSTRATING THE CONCERN. PLEASE HELP
VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR FROM STATIONARY POSITION. HAS OCCURRED PERIODICALLY (AT LEAST 25 TIMES) SINCE ODOMETER READ 1800 MILES (CURRENT MILAGE IS 8000 MILES).. IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AND TOOK AT LEAST 5 MINUTES TO GO INTO GEAR. IT HAS ALSO FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR WHILE STARTING FROM A STOP IN TRAFFIC AND LEAVES CAR POWERLESS FOR FORWARD MOTION WITH MOVING TRAFFIC ALL AROUND. HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER AT LEAST 3 TIMES REPORTING SHIFTING/ TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION REPROGRAMMED ONCE BUT ISSUE STARTED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 500 MILES. DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR.
I AM THE OWNER OF A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHICH I PURCHASED THIS FALL AND HAVE APPROXIMATELY 25,000 MILES ON IT. I AM REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT OVER 50 OTHERS HAVE ON THIS SITE. IT IS A 1.6 LITER TURBO WITH THE DCVT TRANSMISSION. STARTING ABOUT 5 WEEKS AGO I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING. WHEN IT STARTED, I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A LIGHT AND I WAS IN DRIVE WITH NO SPECIAL MODE. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE BEING ON A SLIGHT INCLINE STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARDS. I HAD TO REV THE RPMS UP WHAT LOOKED LIKE TO BE OVER 3000 TO GET THE CAR TO GO FORWARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED, SHEEHY HYUNDAI IN WALDORF, MD AND THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. HAS HAPPENED 4 ADDITIONAL TIMES. THIS IS A BAD SITUATION, ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO I WAS LEAVING A GAS STATION, IDLING OUT TO A SIDE ROAD THAT HAD A SLIGHT INCLINE, AND AGAIN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE WHILE WAITING AT THE INTERSECTION, AND AGAIN INSTEAD OF GOING FORWARD, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARD AND THIS TIME I STOPPED THE VEHICLE, PUTTING IT IN PARK, AND SHUT IT OFF HOPING IT WAS JUST SOMETHING ELECTRONIC. I RESTARTED AND HAD TO AGAIN REV THE RPMS WAY UP SO TO AVOID OVER REVVING AND HAVING THE VEHICLE JUMP, I PUT IT INTO 1ST GEAR MANUALLY AND WAS ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT I NOTICED IT WAS JERKY STARTING OUT. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER DURING CONTINUOUS DRIVING WITH SOME STOP STARTS, I WAS AT A LIGHT WHICH HAD TURNED RED AND WAS WAITING FOR IT TO CHANGE. WHEN IT DID AND I STARTED TO GO, WITH THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE IT AGAIN WOULD NOT GO. I AGAIN HAD TO REV IT UP SIGNIFICANTLY TO GET IT TO START ROLLING FORWARD. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO SHEEHY AND THEY HAD IT FOR THREE DAYS. THEY SAID THEY WENT THOUGH IT DIAGNOSTICALLY AS MUCH AS THEY COULD AND CHECKED THE FLUID, BUT STILL COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ON TUESDAY I WAS COMING .
SUV WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN. HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES WHERE IT REVS HESITATES AND THEN GOES. YESTERDAY, WHEN AT A GREEN LIGHT NEAR MY HOUSE, CAR REVVED AND WOULD NOT GO EVEN WITH FOOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON ACCELERATOR. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE BEHIND ME OTHERWISE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT WITH THE PERSON BEHIND ACCELERATING AND ME UNABLE TO MOVE AT ALL! CALLED DEALER RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS 4PM ON SATURDAY 6/25. THEY COULD NOT SEE ME. COULDN'T GET ME IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL THIS THURSDAY. WILL GO IN FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING (MONDAY) AND DEMAND SOMETHING BE DONE. SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER. HE SAID THEY WILL CHECK BUT DOUBT THEY WILL FIND ANYTHING AS NONE OF THE CHECK LIGHTS OR COMPUTER CHECKS HAD TRIGGERED DURING ANY OF THE ACCELERATOR INCIDENTS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. WANT OTHERS TO BE AWARE OF THIS MAYBE BEFORE PURCHASING THE CAR!
VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, WHILE TRAVELING UPHILL. TRANSMISSION WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING IT WAS OVERHEATING, WHICH EVENTUALLY LOCKED UP THE TRANSMISSION, DISABLING THE CAR. AN IMMOBILE VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC IS INHERENTLY UNSAFE, AND WITH UNDER 3000 MILES, THIS VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF A RECALL AND A REDESIGNED CLUTCH.
I WAS SITTING AT A RED LIGHT, BEHIND A COUPLE OF OTHER CARS, WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I EASED UP ON THE BRAKE AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO PULL FORWARD SLOWLY. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN TO MAKE A LEFT, I GENTLY PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE RPMS ROSE BUT THE CAR DID NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR AND THUS DIDN'T PULL FORWARD BEYOND A SLOW ROLL. I TRIED STEPPING ON THE GAS HARDER AND ALLOWED THE RPMS TO GET UP TO ABOUT 4,000. THE CAR STILL DO NOT ENGAGE IN A GEAR. I WAS IN "NORMAL" DRIVING MODE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I TRIED SHIFTING THE STICK TO MANUAL MODE AND BACK, AND ALSO PUTTING IT SPORT MODE---ALL WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AFTER SEVERAL ROUND TRIPS UP TO 4,000 RPM AND BACK, THE CAR EVENTUALLY GOT IN GEAR. I'M NOT EXACTLY SURE WHICH, IF ANY OF MY ACTIONS, CORRECTED THE ISSUE. RESEARCHING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND IT'S SHOCKING TO ME THAT HYUNDAI HASN'T PUBLICLY ACKNOWLEDGED THIS OR ISSUED A RECALL. AN ONLINE TUCSON FORUM ENTITLED "DANGEROUS HORRIBLE DCT" HAS OVER 40,000 VIEWS AND SEVERAL HUNDRED POSTS REGARDING THIS MATTER. (HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/2016-TUCSON-IX35-MODELS/454074-DANGEROUS-HORRIBLE-DCT.HTML). FORUM POSTS NOTE THAT DEALERS ARE PLAYING DUMB ON THIS ONE UNLESS THEY CAN RECREATE THE ISSUE 1ST-HAND. A YOUTUBE VIDEO (HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS) PROVIDES AMPLE EVIDENCE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AND IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH MY EXPERIENCE (AND THAT OF MANY OTHERS IT WOULD SEEM. THIS SITUATION IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS!!! I SINCERELY HOPE THE NHTSA LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER IMMEDIATELY. *TR
ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY, THE CAR DOES NOT TRANSMIT POWER TO THE WHEELS AFTER STOPPING OR SLOWING TO A NEAR STOP - E.G. AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, MERGING INTO INTERSTATE TRAFFIC, OR, GOD FORBID, TURNING LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION. I WILL PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE RPMS CAN ROAR INTO THE 6000 RANGE WHILE MY CAR INCHES FORWARD AT 1-5 MPH INTO TRAFFIC. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. MOST RECENTLY THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO SUNSET BLVD IN LOS ANGELES. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFE LEFT TURN BECAME A HARROWING EXPERIENCE AS MY CAR ENTERED SUNSET AT ABOUT 1-2 MPH AS TRAFFIC CLOSED IN FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS, WITH A 6 YEAR OLD IN THE CAR, NO LESS! NOT MY VIDEO, BUT A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE FROM ANOTHER TUCSON DRIVER IS HERE: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS AND ANOTHER: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS PLENTY OF REPORTS OF THIS AT HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM *HTTP://WWW.HYUNDAI-FORUMS.COM/2016-TUCSON-IX35-MODELS/454074-DANGEROUS-HORRIBLE-DCT-36.HTML AND YET NO ACTION FROM HYUNDAI. DEALERSHIPS ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE RESPONDING VARIOUSLY WITH "WE CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM" (IT'S INTERMITTENT AND DANGEROUSLY UNPREDICTABLE), TO "SOUNDS LIKE NORMAL DCT BEHAVIOR TO ME!", TO AS MY DEALER TOLD ME, "UNTIL THE MALFUNCTIONING PART FAILS COMPLETELY, WE CAN'T ID THE PROBLEM SO CAN'T FIX IT." LETTING THAT PART FAIL MAY, LITERALLY, BE THE LAST THING I DO! STILL WORKING ON A RESOLUTION WITH HYUNDAI, BUT THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION AND HYNUDAI NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT AS SUCH.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE REVERSED AND THEN MOVED FORWARD. THE FAILURE CONTINUOUSLY RECURRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,075.
STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GET GAS, TURNED THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF, PUMPED GAS, GOT BACK IN & STARTED THE VEHICLE, SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK & PRESSED THE GAS, RPM'S REVVED WAY UP BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. CHECKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T OVERLOOKING ANYTHING; NO 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON OR ANY OTHER DASHLIGHTS, EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. TURNED THE SWITCH OFF & ON SEVERAL TIMES, WAITING A FEW MINUTES EACH TIME, THEN WOULD START AND SHIFT INTO REVERSE (IT WOULD BACK UP), NEUTRAL, & FINALLY DRIVE & STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. FINALLY GAVE UP, PUT IT IN REVERSE & BACKED AWAY FROM THE PUMPS TO A SAFE PLACE. CALLED HYUNDAI BLUE LINK BUT THEY WERE NO HELP AS THE VEHICLE WASN'T SENDING ANY CODES. I TRIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES THEN GAVE UP & HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SALESMAN). ONCE IT WAS OFF THE TRUCK, THE SALESMAN TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES & GOT THE SAME RESULT. HE WAS JUST AS STUNNED AS I WAS. ON MON I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA & OPENED A CASE SO THERE WOULD BE DOCUMENTATION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE OVER THE WEEKEND & FOUND A HYUNDAI FORUM WHERE PEOPLE WERE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAD. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & MET WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR & THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT HAD DONE THE SAME THING WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR THAT MORNING BUT HE FINALLY GOT IT TO MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HYUNDAI TECH SERVICES & THEY MADE AN UPDATE/ADJUSTMENT. FOR NOW IT SEEMS TO BE FINE, BUT I AM TOTALLY PARANOID ABOUT DRIVING IT NOW! I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE NHTSA GET INVOLVED & GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
WAS JERKY WHEN GETTING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE NORMAL FOR A 4 CYLINDER, SINCE I'D BEEN DRIVING A 6 CYLINDER FOR 20 YEARS. THOUGHT I JUST HAD TO GET USED TO IT. 10 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 300 MILES, JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION... PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... IT STARTED SLOWLY JERKING FORWARD, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT KEPT JERKING AND SLOWLY ACCELERATED UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 5 GEAR, THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT. FRIGHTENING! 26 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 700 MILES, FROM A COLD START, BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE... REVVED THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND HADN'T MOVED YET... HIT 3RD GEAR AND IT JERKED FORWARD AND STARTED SLOWLY MOVING. 30 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, @ ~ 816 MILES, STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT... LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE... SHIFTED THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE) SEVERAL TIMES... IN DRIVE FOR ABOUT THE 4TH TIME AND STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR... IT PEALED OUT... DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP... JERKILY PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT. JUST OVER 3 HOURS LATER, WAS TOLD THEY DISCHARGED THE CAPACITOR COMPLETELY AND "RE-TAUGHT IT" THE SYSTEM. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FIXED, BUT, I'M AT DAY 37 AND CAN SWEAR THAT IT HESITATED YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING. WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION!
JUST HAPPENED TO ME YESTERDAY. 7000+ MILES ON MY TUCSON. I WAS WAITING TO GO STRAIGHT AT A RED LIGHT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I COULDN'T ACCELERATE. REVVED HIGH BUT DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL I LET OFF THE GAS A LITTLE AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE CLUTCH FINALLY ENGAGED AND I WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 5 MPH WHILE STILL REACHING HIGH RPMS. CARS YIELDING TO MAKE A LEFT WERE WAITING FOR ME TO CONTINUE STRAIGHT. LUCKILY I WASN'T TRYING TO MAKE ANY RIGHT TURNS AT ANY INTERSECTION BECAUSE I'D IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT FULL SPEED COULD'VE HIT ME IF I DIDN'T PICK UP MY SPEED QUICK ENOUGH. AS I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET BACK TO MY WORK PARKING LOT (ALL THE STREETS WERE BUSY DURING THE LUNCH HOUR), I WAS AT A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE CAR DIDN'T ACCELERATE AGAIN AS IT SHOULD. I FLOORED THE PEDAL TO AVOID ROLLING BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER CAR AND AS SOON AS THE CLUTCH ENGAGED MY CAR PEELED OUT AND ACCELERATED ABRUPTLY. THE "TRANSMISSION TEMP. TOO HIGH" INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO WORK. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE BUT ONLY ONCE ON ONE ACCELERATION AT A RED LIGHT. I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT AS IT DROVE NORMAL AFTERWARDS. HYUNDAI DID THE ECU FLASH UPDATE (AS A TSB THAT I WASN'T AWARE OF) AT THE DEALERSHIP A FEW WEEKS LATER AND I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE ISSUE. WHEN IT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, IT WAS MUCH WORSE THAN THE FIRST TIME AS IT CONTINUOUSLY HAD ACCELERATION ISSUES. AFTER WORK, I DROVE VERY CAREFULLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO DROP THE CAR OFF. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HOPE THEY CAN GET FIX ON THIS CAR. I LOVE THIS CAR AND IT FITS MY DAILY NEEDS PERFECTLY. HOPEFULLY, HYUNDAI CAN GET THIS ISSUE TAKEN CARE OF WHERE ALL SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ARE ON THE SAME PAGE AND GET A TSB SENT OUT TO ALL OWNERS WHO MAY OWN AFFECTED MODELS.
I HAVE THE 1.7 TURBO ENGINE WITH THE DUAL-CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ENGINE REVS AND CAR DOESN'T MOVE (AS IF IT'S STUCK IN NEUTRAL). TRANSMISSION FINALLY KICKS IN, BUT ONLY AFTER A SCARY COUPLE OF SECONDS - ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING LEFT THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE OF TRANSMISSION. I SAY IT'S DANGEROUS!!
AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. THE GEARS WERE GRINDING AND EVENTUALLY THEY SNAPPED INTO POSITION CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, I WAS SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING A TRAFFIC CIRCLE, AS I TRIED TO ENTER THE CIRCLE THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. FORTUNATELY I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID BEING HIT BY ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE FINAL INCIDENT I HAD BEFORE BRINGING THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE (WHICH IS ANOTHER STORY) INVOLVED AN ATTEMPT TO ENTER A HIGHWAY AFTER SLOWING DOWN, WHERE ONCE AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE. ONCE AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS IS DEFINITELY IN MY MIND A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO HAVE THIS ISSUE. MY CAR HAS NOW BEEN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER FOR 60 DAYS "WAITING" FOR A TRANSMISSION TO ARRIVE WITH NO ARRIVAL DATE AVAILABLE OR ETA OF COMPLETION IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.
CAR IS A 2016 TUCSON WITH THE 1.6T ENGINE AND DUAL CLUTCH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. ON 3 OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. THE ENGINE REVS AS IF IN NEUTRAL WITH NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. AFTER 10-15 SECONDS AND SHIFTING FROM PARK BACK TO DRIVE THE ELECTRONIC CLUTCH PARTIALLY ENGAGES ENOUGH TO GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN, BUT BEHAVES LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR WITH THE CLUTCH PEDAL PARTIALLY DEPRESSED. THE CAR DOES NOT DISPLAY ANY WARNING LIGHTS OR ERROR CODES. TOOK IT TO HYUNDAI DEALER WHO ADVISED IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION. THIS IS A HAZARD AS IT HAS LEFT ME STUCK IN TRAFFIC UNABLE TO MOVE. UNBELIEVABLE THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE AND OFFERS NOTHING. GOOGLE SEARCH OF "2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON DCT PROBLEMS" HITS OVER 25K SEARCH RESULTS. I SEE OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS ON SAME ISSUE.
WAITING AT A LIGHT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. PUSHED ACCELERATOR ENGINE REVS AND NOTHING. NO POWER IS TRANSFERRED TO THE DRIVE WHEELS. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES. I THOUGHT I ACCIDENTALLY MOVED THE SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. NOPE. TRIED AGAIN AND JUST ENGINE REV, NO MOVEMENT. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND FINALLY GOT GOING. NEXT INTERSECTION I HAD TO MAKE A LEFT AGAINST OPPOSING TRAFFIC AND CHICKENED OUT UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED TO RED. SAME [XXX] THING OCCURRED! COULD HAVE BEEN T-BONED AND WHOSE FAULT WOULD IT HAVE BEEN? MINE SINCE THERE IS NO OWNING UP TO THE ISSUE WITH HYUNDAI AND NO INDICATION OF THE ISSUE RECORDED BY THE CAR'S COMPUTER! NO ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY OTHER INDICATION RECORDED BY THE VEHICLE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY HAD ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND WERE DEEMED AT FAULT BY THEIR INSURANCE? THIS LINK SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT OCCURS. WATCH AND LISTEN. HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
NO DRIVE GEAR OR REVERSE GEAR SOMETIMES AND SPORADICALLY, TAKE OFF FROM DRIVE OR REVERSE. NO POWER ON TAKE OFF IT REVS RPMS.AT AN STAND STILL AT A CORNER OR A RED LIGHT OR IN TRAFFIC ON A BUSY HIGHWAY IT JUST REVS RPMS YOU HAVE TO KEEP TAKING IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND HOPE YOUCAN MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT NO ONE CRASHING INTO THE BACK OF YOU OR CAR LUNGING FORWARD INTO SOME 1 ELSE.
HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016,1300 MILES. IN HEAVY STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON GW BRIDGE, TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING WARNING (PULL OVER SAFELY) CAR WOULD NOT MOVE, AFTER 5 HARROWING MINUTES WAS ABLE TO DRIVE, TAKEN TO DEALER, "NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE" COULD NOT FIX BECAUSE NOTHING WRONG. SO MUCH FOR ,100000 MILE WARRANTY. HAVE SINCE DISCOVERED SOMEONE ELSE WENT TO SAME DEALERSHIP AFTER I DID, THE MANAGER,BARRY, SAID"I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS". SO FAR NO ONE HAS BEEN HURT BUT IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. BY THE WAY, ON MY REPAIR RECEIPT THERE WAS A SUGGESTION THAT I LEARN TO DRIVE PROPERLY!!!!!
I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND REAR SHOCK AT APPROXIMATELY UNDER 2000 MILES. IT HESITATES BADLY. IT DECELERATES AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAD LOW COOLANT BEFORE A LONG TRIP SO I FILLED IT UP AS IT ADVISED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HOT THE COOLANT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH TO 1 INCH BELOW THE MINIMUM FILL LINE. AFTER MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADVISED THE COOLANT WAS LOW AGAIN, BUT THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I TOLD THEM I JUST FILLED IT UP AND SO THEY ARE CHECKING AGAIN FOR LEAKS. IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR AS I WAS GOING ON AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE. IT JERKED AND SHIMMIED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHEN I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT. IT IS BRAND NEW. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME WITH IT I JUST KEEP HEARING "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT IS JUST THE WAY HYUNDAI DESIGNED THE VEHICLE." HYUNDAI NEEDS TO WORK ON THIS. THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS A POPPING SOUND EVERY TIME I REACH 20 MPH AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF PARK. IT HAS A RATTLE IN THE FRAME/REAR PASSENGER DOOR AREA. NO PLACE CAN FIX THESE SOUNDS. I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT ALL. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE SINCE PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2015. THIS REALLY NEEDS MULTIPLE RECALLS ON IT. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT A HOOD LATCH RECALL TOO. NOT EVEN FROM HYUNDAI... FROM CAR FAX. HYUNDAI DID NOT CONTACT CONSUMERS REGARDING THE HOOD LATCH RECALL. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO. THE DEALER DID NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT IT EITHER. THE DEALER, BOB POYNTER COLUMBUS, IN REFUSES TO SERVICE MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT SPEAK WITH ME AT ALL. THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHERE THEY OBTAINED MY VEHICLE FROM AS A DEALER TRADE EITHER.
WHILE STOPPED, WITH CAR IN DRIVE, PRESSING ACCELERATOR ENGINE REVS (4 TO 5 ON THE GAUGE) BUT DOES NOT GO FORWARD. CAR THEN JERKS FORWARD AND THEN FINALLY MOVES. I SAT THRU 3 RED LIGHTS BEFORE THE CAR ACTUALLY MOVED. THIS OCCURS ON CITY STREET THIS OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE BUT THE FORWARD MOTION "CAUGHT" QUICKER THAN THE LAST TIME AT THE SAME TIME THIS OCCURRED THE AC FAILED AS DID THE BLUETOOTH. THE PHONE SAID IT WAS CONNECTED BUT THE CAR SAID IT WAS NOT . THE AC FAN WORKED BUT BLEW HOT AIR. THE AC AND PHONE WORKED AFTER TURNING OFF CAR AT DEALERSHIP. THE TECH AT DEALERSHIP CAPTURED ON VIDEO THE GEAR CLEARLY IN DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS ROLLING BACKWARD. SERVICE CENTER SAID NO ERROR CODES WERE RECORDED. HYUNDAI USA HAS NO INFORMATION TO GIVE ME. CAR HAS BEEN AT DEALER SERVICE DEPT FOR 11 DAYS NOW. CONCERN IS SAFETY OF VEHICLE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND CAR GOING IN REVERSE WHILE IN DRIVE.
AS I WAS RETURNING FROM LUNCH TO WORK ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO SLIP AND ACT ABNORMAL. FROM STOPPING AT STOP LIGHTS TO RUNNING THE VEHICLE AT THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS I FELT I WAS GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE CAR JUST ACCELERATED AND SLOWED DOWN. THE RPMS OF THE ENGINE INCREASED AND DECREASED DURING THIS TIME. I AM NOW, VERY CONCERNED WITH MY/MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION BECAUSE MY CAR HAS ONLY 4,000 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE IN THE HYUNDAI FORUMS THAT ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE, WHICH MAY NOT BE AFFECTING ALL VEHICLES BUT IT SHOULD BE A MAJOR CONCERN CONSIDERING THE ACCELARATION AND SLOWING DOWN ISSUES I EXPERIENCED TODAY. ONCE I GATHERED ENOUGH COURAGE TO CONTINUE DRIVING DESPITE THE ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (SEE PHOTOS ATTACHED OF ERROR MESSAGE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT) I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO MY NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER. SINCE I COULDN'T WAIT FOR MY CAR I HAD THE DEALER REPRESENTATIVE DROP ME OFF AT WORK. THE DEALER CALLED ME BACK ABOUT 1.5 HOUR LATER EXPLAING THAT THEY RESET THE COMPUTER (WHATEVER THAT MEANS). I PICKED UP MY TUCSON AND IT APPEARS THAT RESETTING THE COMPUTER DID CLEAR THE ERROR AND THE ISSUE BUT I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY LIFE THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN SOMEWHERE ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE MY NORMAL HOME TO WORK AND BACK ROUTE HAS HIGHWAYS.
ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THE CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASE TO 4000-5000 BUT, THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. IT FEELS LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON (IT IS NOT) AND DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING MORE THAN REV THE ENGINE. IT'S LIKE STEPPING ON THE GAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL.
I PULLED INTO THE DRIVE THRU LINE AT BANK BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TUCSON INTO PARK, BUT LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME PROCESSED THEIR TRANSACTION. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. THE RPMS MOVED INTO THE 3000 AND 4000 RANGE BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON. VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO AND OUT OF PARK AND NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND ALLOWED ME TO EASE FORWARD. I PLACED THE CAR BACK INTO PARK WHILE MY TRANSACTION WAS PROCESSED. AFTER MY TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETE I PLACED THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL FORWARD. ONCE AGAIN HIGH RPMS AND ENGINE REVVING VERY LOUDLY BUT NOT MOVING ANYWHERE. I TRIED THE SHIFTING GEARS TRICK SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVE THRU LANE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE TO MOVE. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES IT FINALLY WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING SPOT. I CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER. HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT. HE REPORTED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THOUGH STILL IN DRIVE) HE WOULD THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO HIGH RPMS FOR 3-10 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING AND CAUSING A QUICK JERKY JACK RABBIT START. EVEN WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, THE PREVIOUS 7,400 MILES DRIVEN IT WOULD ONLY REV TO APPROX 1200 RPMS PRIOR TO ACCELERATING. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. CAR TURNED OFF WHILE REMOVING ITEMS. WHEN TURNED BACK ON AND DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR. DEALERSHIP KEPT VEHICLE FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO MONDAY. THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE AND THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
TUCSON WITH 4139 MILES, CAME TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, STOPPED, WENT TO MOVE, TACH CLIMBED TO 6 GRAND AND TUCSON WOULD NOT MOVE. SHIFTED FROM DRIVE TO PARK A FEW TIMES AND THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY ENGAGED AND THE TUCSON PROCEEDED FORWARD IN A JERKY MOTION BUY FINALLY SMOOTHED OUT. WENT ANOTHER 600+ MILES WITHOUT IT OCCURRING AGAIN. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAM ON AND NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES THROWN. I CONTACTED HYUNDIA C/C BY EMAIL EXPLAINING THE ISSUE WHICH FROM RESEARCHING, FOUND THAT IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS IS S SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP.
THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT MOVE. TRIED A FEW TIME THEN HAD TO GO INTO PARK AND DRIVE AGAIN AND THEN IT WORKED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE AND REVVED THE MOTOR 6 TIMES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND THEN IN REVERSE. IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND WAS REVVING BECAUSE I HAD TO PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR MORE THAN I WANTED . I WAS AFRAID BOTH TIMES THE CAR WOULD SHOOT FORWARD (OR BACKWARD THE SECOND TIME). THE SHIFTING IS ALSO STRANGE IN THE CAR, IT JERKS FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE IT STARTS SO SLOWLY AND THEN SEEMS TO JUMP INTO GEAR.
05/06/2016 @ 1600 COND-RAINY. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE SUV DID NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THE SUV DID NOT GO FORWARD. IT SLOWLY ENGAGED AND LURCHED FORWARD AFTER APPROX 3-5 SECONDS. 5/19/2016 @ 1800 COND-RAIN /NOT DRIVEN IN APPROX 4 DAYS. LESS THAN A MILE FROM START AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROX 3-5 MINS-WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE VEH DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEH LURCHED/JUMPED FORWARD AND SLOWLY MOVED. I AGAIN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HYUNDAI. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE - 2016 TUCSON. 5/21/2016 @ 1350 SAME NON-MOVEMENT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OCCURRED W/THE LOANER VEHICLE. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 2 DAYS COND-RAINY. THIS OCCURRED APPROX 3 MINS AFTER START AND W/IN A MILE. HYUNDAI CORP ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEH. 3 SIMILAR ISSUES FROM CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTED TO THIS DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEH OR ALLOWING ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS VEH. IT IS AN ACCIDENT IN WAITING EITHER FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEH OR FROM STRIKING ANOTHER B/C OF THE LURCHING. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND HOPE THAT I DID NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I AM NOT SATISFIED AND WANT A REFUND FOR BOTH OF THE VEH'S I PURCHASED DUE TO THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY FROM A STOP, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEH DOES NOT MOVE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A VERY HAZARDOUS DEFECT. HYUNDAI IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ERROR, SO ENG. ADVISES TO RELEASE THE VEH BACK TO ME, THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER HYUNDAI VEH AGAIN B/C IT IS UNSAFE AND THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO RECTIFY THEIR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A DRIVER'S OPERATIONAL ERROR.
THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE TRANSMITTING REPLACED. IT IS DANGEROUS. FIRST IT WAS THE SHUDDER AND ERRATIC HESITATION STARTING OUT IN 1ST GEAR. LIKE YOU HAVE A CHOICE WHAT GEAR YOU START IN. SO IT'S CRAZY FRUSTRATING. NOW IT HAS ADVANCED TO NOT ENGAGING 1ST GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME. TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THEN ONCE ENGAGED, THE CAR BURNED RUBBER THROUGH A LEFT TURN TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR RAN ANYONE OVER INT HE PROCESS. EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TALK TO ME LIKE IT IS THE DESIGN OF THE DUEL CLUTCH AND NOTHING I CAN DO SINCE IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY... WHAT?!! I'M TAKING A MORE ACTIVE APPROACH NOW TO KEEP MYSELF OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY FROM DYING AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS CLEARLY REFUSING TO ADMIT TO. THERE IS MANY ACCOUNTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DON'T READ INTERNET PROPAGANDA.. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS COMPANY EXISTS IN AMERICA. AND FYI - THE CAR I HAD 10 YEARS PRIOR WAS THE 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THEY REBUILD THE 2016 AND THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR MY LOYALTY.
"TAKATA RECALL" -THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ENGAGE AT THE PROPER TIMES. HEADRESTS MAKE YOUR HEAD BEND SO FAR FOWARD YOUR CHIN IS ALMOST TOUCHING YOUR CHEST.
REPORTED HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, IN TRAFFIC, OR WHEN EXITING A TURN. SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGED AS DID THE SALES TEAM THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE BUT SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS THAT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CORPORATE DECIDES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND HESITATES OR LUNGES WHEN COMING TO A STOP SOME TIMES. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING SINCE FIRST PURCHASED ON 5/21/2016.
I HAVE 4000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ALREADY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES! TRANSMISSION- IS VERY JERKY, DOESN'T HAVE PICK UP MOST THE TIME, DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AWAY IT TAKES A MOMENT TO KICK IN WHILE RPM'S ARE JUMPING. HESITATION FROM A DEAD STOP, ONCE AT A DEAD STOP AND YOU SLOWLY TAKE FOOT OFF BREAK THE RPM'S DROP AND THE CAR SHUTTERS AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE! DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL FOR A DUAL CLUTCH BECAUSE ITS LIKE A MANUAL AND THAT I NEED TO DRIVE 2 FOOTED OR DEAL WITH IT. I ALSO HAD IT TO DEALER SAY PRIOR TO THIS TIME, IT'S BECAUSE THE DUAL TRANSMISSION IS STAYING IN SECOND GEAR AND THAT'S NORMAL AND THAT'S WHY IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE. TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS THE SAME.. WHEN IN ECO IT WORSE AND WHEN IN SPORT MODE IT VERY JERKY AND THE SHIFTING IS AWFUL AND NEVER SMOOTH. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO IDEA WHEN TO SHIFT AND OR HOW TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD AS FAR WHERE THE RPM'S ARE AT, ALWAYS REVS UP BEFORE IT WILL EVEN MORE. ALSO WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT TAKES A LOT TO KICK IT DOWN TO PICK UP SPEED WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS IS HORRIBLE . HAD TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND IT TILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO FIND T TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL. HWY SPEEDS THE CABIN SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE ONE WINDOW OPEN AND YOU GET THAT SOUND OF BEING IN A TUNNEL. SINCE DAY 1 WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE, THERE IS A CLUNKING POPPING SOUND FROM THE BACK OF CAR AFTER IT HITS ABOUT 20 MPH. HAD THAT LOOKED AT 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS MUCH LOUDER AND MORE OFTEN NOW WITH MORE MILES DEAL SAYS ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT TO DEAL WITH IT. WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!! HAD IN SHOP 6 TIMES ALREADY IN 9 MONTHS AND HYUNDAI WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP . *TR
I LOVE MY CAR AND I JUST HAD IT IN FOR ITS 15,000 MILE CHECKUP LAST WEEK AND THEN ON SATURDAY I AM AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY ROAD AND LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE, IT WAS ACTING LIKE I HAD IT IN PARK BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE NOTHING SO I DID THIS A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT FINALLY WENT. I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT EVERYONE STUCK BEHIND ME DID NOT GET IMPATIENT. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING LATER IN THE DAY IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IN MY DRIVEWAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. SO MONDAY MORNING I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT BROUGHT TO THEM. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT AFTER WORK TO PICK UP MY CAR - THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO ERROR CODES CAME UP. I AM ACTUALLY NERVOUS DRIVING MY CAR NOW, I AM HOPING THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IF IT DOES AND THEY DO NOT FIX IT I WILL BE GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.
PURCHASED JANUARY 2016 - LIMITED AWD WITH FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED FLICKERING INTERIOR LIGHTS AND BOTH HEAD LIGHTS LEAKED, ONE SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED. LATER ON DEVELOPED HARD START UPS, SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. ALONG WITH INTERMITTING FRONT SAFETY SENSORS AND A GLITCHING CENTER CONSOLE/BACK UP CAMERA. 7,500 MILES IN THE AC STOPPED WORKING FROM FREEZING OVER. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE ON VACATION AND DISCOVERED A MELTED FUSE BOX COVER AND BURNT TOW HITCH/ECU WIRES WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CORROSION. DEALERS COULD NO CONFIRM RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOW HITCH HARNESS, CLAIMED IT WAS NOT FACTORY INSTALLED WHEN IT WAS FACTORY INSTALLED AND EVEN ON THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER. WE CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE EVERYDAY FOR OVER A WEEK BEGGING FOR HELP WITH NO CALL BACKS. ROADSIDE WOULD NOT COVER A TOW TO THE SELLING DEALER. ENDED UP DRIVING OURSELVES AN HOUR SOUTH TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAITS FOR A HYUNDAI ENGINEER TO FLY IN AND LOOK AT IT. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS WIRING HARNESS IN OTHER MODELS, THE DEALER WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART BECAUSE IT WAS DISCONTINUED. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS CURRENTLY OUT FOR OUR CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AS THE MELTING WIRES ARE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD ALONG WITH THE UNRELIABLE TRANSMISSION AND SAFETY SENSORS.
AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP COMPLETELY OUT OF GEAR AND THE ENGINE WILL JUST REV BUT NOT MOVE THE CAR. FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS IN NEUTRAL GEAR AND JUST REVVING THE ENGINE. ALMOST GOT HIT FROM A CAR AS WE PULLED OUT TO TURN RIGHT FROM A STOPPED POSITION AT A STOP LIGHT, PUSHED ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE AT ALL. JUST REVVED FOR ABOUT 5-6 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY GOING INTO A GEAR AND MOVING THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION!! JUST WENT TO THE DEALER TO DAY TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THE CAR WAS "WORKING AS DESIGNED."
VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FROM A STOPPED POSITIONING A CITY STREET HAS OCCURRED RANDOMLY 4 TIMES IN FIRST 2900 MILES. VEHICLES CURRENTLY HAS 3100 MILES. AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, I DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR TO START MOVING AGAIN AND THE ENGINE REVS TO 3000-4000 RPMS,, BUT CAR DOES NOT MOVE. IT DOES NOT MOVE!!!! RELEASE ACCELERATOR, DEPRESSED ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND CAR JERKILY MOVES FORWARD AFTER 4 TO 5 SECOND HESITATION. TAKEN TO DEALER TWICE, AT FIRST VISIT NO ERRORS CODES FOUND AND DEALER ATTEMPTED TO EXPLAIN AWAY PROBLEM "AS THIS IS HOW THE NEW TRNSMISSION WORKS, IT HAS A SMALL HESITATION". SECOND TIME AT DEALERSHIP LAST WEEK FOR THIS RECURRENT PROBLEM. AFTER STOPPING, ENGINE REVS BUT CAR FAILS TO MOVE. AGAIN, NO ERROR CODES FOUND NOR DID CAR EXHIBIT PROBLEM FOR SERVICE TECH. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO CALL HYUNDAI CONSUMER RELATIONS TO LOG THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO AS MANY OTHER ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM.
WHEN STOPPED AND HITTING THE GAS PEDAL THERE HAVE BEEN OCCASIONS THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE WILL REV THE ENGINE AS IF IN NEUTRAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE, ONCE GOING UPHILL AND I HAD TO WAVE GARS BEHIND ME TO PASS. 1.6T ENGINE WITH THE DCT. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS THE VEHICLE'S WAY OF NOT HURTING THE TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER IT DOESNT SEEM TO ME, AN AVERAGE DRIVER WHO HAS OWNED MANY CARS AS IF THIS WOULD BE SAFE OR NORMAL FOR ANYTHING MOVING ON A ROAD.
PURCHASED NEW TUSCAN AND HAS 200 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE STARTED BACKING UP INTO OUR GARAGE AND WARNING LIGHT CAME ON STATING NOT TO DRIVE CAR DUE TO TRANSMISSION OVER HEADING. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. AFTER A DAY THEY ADVISED US NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE ECO MODE AS THE TRANNY HEATS UP. I'M CONCERN THAT MY WARRANTY WILL RUN OUT AND THIS WAS SUCH A PROBLEM , IT WOULDN'T GET FIXED. I'M SURE ALL THE TESTS FOR MILEAGE WAS DONE IN THIS ECO MODE. PLUS SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THE FACT WHEN BACKING UP, IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OF ACCELERATOR THE CAR ROLLS FORWARD. SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET RAN OVER THIS IS A MAJOR FLAW AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
PROBLEM CONCERNS THE 7-SPEED DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. CLUTCH PLATES IN THE TRANSMISSION MAY NOT ENGAGE IN DRIVE OR ANY FORWARD GEARS AFTER STOPPING AT AN INTERSECTION, TOLL BOOTH, ETC. WHEN YOU APPLY POWER TO MOVE FORWARD THE CLUTCH PLATES INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE. EVEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN 1ST (VS DRIVE) DOES NOTHING. THE ONLY GEAR THAT WORKS WHEN THIS HAPPENS IS REVERSE. YOU'LL HAVE TO BACK YOUR WAY OUT OF THE INTERSECTION TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS! BE CAREFUL OF REAR-END COLLISIONS OR BEING SIDE-SWIPED AS FOLKS TRY TO GET AROUND YOU. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR 5-10 MINUTES. RESTART THE VEHICLE AND PUT TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE. GRADUALLY INCREASE RPM TO ABOUT 4,000, TRANSMISSION WILL START TO ENGAGE. CRAWL FROM THE SHOULDER TO A PLACE OF SAFETY. TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR ANOTHER 10 MINUTES OR LONGER (IF POSSIBLE). MAKE SURE ALL SYSTEMS ARE OFF, EVEN INTERIOR LIGHTS (VERY IMPORTANT). ESSENTIALLY, THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLS THE TRANSMISSION MUST HAVE TIME TO RESET COMPLETELY. RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TRANSMISSION WILL PROBABLY ENGAGE NORMALLY. HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY TELL ME THEY SIMPLY CAN'T FIX IT, THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH HOW THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED. DEALER HAS TRIED TO RESET AND RE-LEARN TRANSMISSION COMPUTER BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES. WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO FROM ANOTHER OWNER ABOUT THE PROBLEM: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=TCVTR_ZCYRS
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WILL FREEZE UP DURING HOT AND HUMID WEATHER. THIS WILL HAPPEN REGULARLY AND CONSISTENTLY ABOUT EVERY 60-90 MINUTES. WE DISCOVERED THAT THE SOLUTION IS TO STOP, TURN VEHICLE OFF, AND LET SYSTEM THAW FOR 10-15 MINUTES. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER BUT THEY CAN'T FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM. NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES RELATED TO THE ISSUE APPEAR IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND DEALER CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN THEIR SHOP.
THE CAR OCCASIONALLY EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOR: 1.UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN A GEAR HIGHER THAN FIRST, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE MOTOR TO STALL AND LOSE POWER FOR ONE TO THREE SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING ACCELERATION. THE LOSS OF POWER PUTS THE CAR IN PERIL OF BEING REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND. 2.WHEN IN THIS STATE, MOVING THE GEARSHIFT LEVER LEFT TO ENTER MANUAL MODE FAILS ' THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN DRIVE DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE MANUAL MODE. 3.BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION NEVER DOWNSHIFTS TO LOWER GEARS, THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AT SLOWER SPEEDS. 4.TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN RESTORES IT TO NORMAL OPERATION UNTIL THE ERRANT BEHAVIOR HAPPENS AGAIN ON RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE OCCASIONS. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A TURBO-CHARGER. A FACTORY RECALL TO FIX AN ACCELERATOR HESITATION IMPROVED, BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE, SAID HESITATION.
A/C DIGITAL DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS IS VERY DIM AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. IT IS SO DIM THAT I AM UNABLE TO READ THE DISPLAY DURING DAYTIME HOURS. THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS IS ADJUSTABLE. DEALER TOOK A NEW TUCSON OFF THE LOT AND. IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY ISSUED A CASE NUMBER 9227369. HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT THIS DESIGN PROBLEM.
TAKATA RECALL; WHILE IN TRAFFIC I LOST ALL THROTTLE RESPONSE AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE BUT ONLY DROPPED TO LOW RPM AND COASTED. NO WARNING LIGHTS. AFTER COASTING CAR BEGAN TO RESPOND TO ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS TURBO DELAY ON 1.6T ENGINE AND FOUND NO PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT TURBO DELAY AND CAR IS NOW SETTING AT THE DEALER AS THIS LAST TIME MADE IT TO THE LOT ON LATE SATURDAY. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE HOME. WILL WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY FIND BUT PROBABLY WILL NOT REPEAT OR GET FIXED. I NOW SEE OTHER WEB SITES GIVE SAME TYPE OF PROBLEM. ONLY HAS 6400 MILES ON IT SINCE 8/19/2015
ON JANUARY 11, 2016 I WAS GOING ON AN ENTRANCE RAMP TO INTERSTATE 10 IN JACKSONVILLE, FL. AND AS I WAS ENTERING THE INTERSTATE, THERE WAS A LAG TIME IN THE ENGINE, AND POWER WAS NOT GETTING TO THE WHEELS. I HAD THE ACCELERATOR FLOORED AND IT JUST WOULDN'T MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT PROPELLED ME FORWARD VERY FAST. I HAD A SEMI RIGHT BEHIND ME, AND I COULDN'T GO ANYWHERE UNTIL IT FINALLY KICKED IN. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF THAT TRUCK WOULD HAVE HIT ME. THE VEHICLE HAD 4703 MILES ON IT. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON A BUSY STREET ON MARCH 20, 2016. I HAD STOPPED AT A LIGHT, AND WHEN I WENT FORWARD, IT GOT UP TO 18 MPH AND THEN JUST NOTHING, NO MOVEMENT AT ALL. THE TACH SAID THE ENGINE WAS REVVING, BUT I WAS GOING NOWHERE. THIS HAPPENED AT THE NEXT 7 TRAFFIC LIGHTS/STOP SIGNS AND EACH TIME WAS THE SAME THING, 18 MPH STOPPING, AND PROPELLING ME AT 33 MPH. THIS WAS EACH AND EVERY TIME. THE MILEAGE WAS 6695 AT THE TIME. THERE IS A SERIOUS LAG TIME IN THE 1.6 LITER ENGINE, THAT HYUNDAI HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF. I CONTACTED THEM BOTH TIMES, AND THE CASE # IS 8735263. THEY BASICALLY JUST TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AS IT DIDN'T REGISTER ON THE COMPUTER EITHER TIME. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY, MANY OTHERS ACROSS THE US. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR NOW AS I FEAR THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, I COULD BE KILLED, OR SOMEONE ELSE COULD BE HURT/ KILLED. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN SEPT.2015, AND IF I HAD BEEN TOLD THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM LIKE THIS, I WOULDN'T HAVE BOUGHT IT. I CAN'T GET RID OF IT, AND I CAN'T TRADE IT IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE, SO I'M BASICALLY SCREWED AND STILL OWE 64 MORE PAYMENTS OF $332.00 ON IT. I FEEL THE DEALERSHIP AND HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SELLING ME SOMETHING THAT COULD BE A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
THE CAR DOES NOT ACCELERATE AT A LIGHT OR TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS ON AND REVS AND THE DIALS MOVE BUT DOES NOT DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND THE DEALER CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T SHOW AN ISSUE. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR.
PURCHASED VEHICLE 12/13/2015. TODAY (4/24/16) DRIVING VEHICLE IN NORMAL TO LIGHT TRAFFIC, FOUR TIMES VEHICLE LOST POWER. I STEPPED ALL THE WAY ON THE ACCELERATOR AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO. VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE WERE CARS BEHIND ME. I HAD DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 8 MILES WHEN THIS STARTED. CURRENT MILEAGE 4452. IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN ON FREEWAY/HIGHWAY I WOULD BE AFRAID OF GETTING HIT IN THE REAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE PROPERLY. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FLUID OVER HEATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25.
MOTION ON HIGHWAY, TRANSMISSION JUST SLOWS CAR DOWN CAUSING CARS IN REAR ALMOST HITTING MY CAR. SOMETIMES WHEN GOING FROM STOP, TRANSMISSION DOES NOT GO IN CAR IN GEAR AND JUST REVS. WHILE GOING FROM STOP SIGN CAR STARTS TO GO THEN SLOWS DOWN BY ITSELF. THIS IS A NEW DOUBLE CLUTCH TRANSMISSION THAT DOES NOT WORK. HAD IT IN THE DEALER 3 TIMES. THEY PUT IN A NEW CLUTCH MOTOR AND IT WORKED WELL FOR 2 WEEKS. NOW IT IS BAD AGAIN ONE DAY SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED.
I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65MPH EAST ON INTERSTATE 10 IN LOUISIANA AROUND MILE MARKER 257.3 WHEN THE HOOD LATCH FAILED AND MY HOOD FLEW UP, SMASHING MY WINDSHIELD AND COMPLETELY BLOCKING MY FIELD OF VIEW. THERE WERE NO CARS AROUND ME AS IT WAS 4:30 AM AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY. IT APPEARS THAT BOTH THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY HOOD LATCHES HAVE FAILED, CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY OPEN.
ON 3 OCCASIONS MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON STALLED WHEN APPROACHING AN ON RAMP TO A MAJOR INTERSTATE ROAD. THE LOSS OF POWER PLACED ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION, A SIMILAR STATE OF DANGER WHEN ENTERING A BUSY INTERSECTION. THIS VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY UNPREDICTABLE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE 2016 TUCSON SINCE DAY ONE OF OUR 3 YEAR LEASE. ORIGINALLY I WAS GOING TO KEEP THE CAR AFTER THE LEASE, BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN NOW. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS AS MANY OTHERS WITH THE HESITATION FROM A STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT A TURN - NO POWER. I ORDERED THE TURBO MODEL THINKING IT WOULD NOT HAVE POWER PROBLEMS, BUT NOW AFTER 6 MONTHS, I REALIZE THE CAR IS JUST NOT VERY GOOD AT MOVING FROM A STOP. THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM THAT OCCASIONALLY MANIFESTS IS THE ON-BOARD NAVIGATION SCREEN. PERIODICALLY IT WILL GO BLANK ON STARTING THE CAR AND WON'T COME ON AT ALL. THE ONLY CURE IS TO SHUT OFF THE CAR AND RESTART IT. TRIED TO SAVE MONEY WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL, BUT GUESS I'LL GO BACK TO AN AMERICAN MADE CAR NEXT TIME. I WOULD CANCEL MY LEASE CONTRACT IF I THOUGHT IT WAS POSSIBLE.
FOR "ALL" CARS, WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED "ON", THE WHOLE CAR FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHERE YOU MUST EITHER PULL THE CAR AND STOP OR OPEN THE WINDOWS. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR DRIVES FROM ZERO TO 50 MPG, THE CAR ALSO GETS HEAVY FUMES. LASTLY, THE TACHOMETER WHEN STARTES DRIVING IN 1ST, 2ND & 3RD GEARS, THE "RPM" SHOW 5000 TO 6500 RPM B-4 GETS TO THE NEXT GEAR; THIS WAS ESPECIALLY FOR AUTOMATIC CARS!
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE CAR HESITATES AND WILL NOT GO. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN A WREAK 2 TIMES DUE TO THIS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. I WAS STRANDED WITH NO SHOULDER TO PULL OFF ONTO IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC WHILE ON VACATION TWICE. THE CAR ALERTED ME THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS HOT AND TO PULL OVER SAFELY. I DID NOT HAVE THAT OPTION SO IT JUST STOPPED. THE DISPLAY READ I COULD CONTIUE AFTER 15 MINS I AM SCARED EVERY TIME I DRIVE THAT THESE ISSUES WILL CAUSE A WREAK. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN 3 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY TELL ME THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE ARE NO CODES AND SEND ME AWAY. I TOLD THEM SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET IN A MAJOR WREAK DUE TO THEIR NEW TRANSMISSION IN THE 2016 VEHICLES. I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THE ISSUES. THE INTERNET IS FULL OF THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN DO THEY BECOME LIABLE TO DO MORE THAN LOOK FOR CODES BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM.
THE FEW MONTHS OLD VEHICLE WOULD GET INTO A DEGRADED MODE AND SEVERELY HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IGNORED MANUAL SHIFTING AND STAYED IN DRIVE MODE EVEN WHEN THE SHIFTER WAS SET PHYSICALLY IN THE - AND + MANUAL MODE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO GROAN AND REV LOUDLY AS IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DOOR AND RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMED TO CORRECT THE ISSUES FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER TWO WEEKS IN THE SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CLUTCH ACCUATOR ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY AS SEEN ON FORUMS.
TWIN CLUTCH SEVEN SPEED TRANSMISSION NEEDS UPDATING HESITATES ON ACCELERATION FROM A START AT A RED LIGHT / STOP SIGN / ETC. JERKING AUTO & CREATING VIBRATIONS IN DRIVING AXLES HAD DEALERSHIP INSTALL TCM SW UPDATE {15-01-050} ON JAN 14 2016 STILL HAVE SAME RESULTS ON OCCASIONS HELP!!!!!!!!!
IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR I RENTED A HYUNDAI TUCSON FROM NATIONAL AT HOBBY AIRPORT IN HOUSTON, TX. IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT I JUST FILED REGARDING AN EARLIER EXPERIENCE WITH A HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT (#10822299) THIS SUV ALSO EXHIBITED SIMILAR BEHAVIORS - A TENDENCY TO HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY (BUT BY NO MEANS EXCLUSIVELY) WHEN A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WAS TO BE EXECUTED AT THE SAME TIME. SINCE THIS WAS MY SECOND EXPERIENCE WITH A RENTAL HYUNDAI SUV, I THOUGHT IT WISE TO ADVISE YOU OF THIS POSSIBLY ENDEMIC DEFECT IN THAT MAKER'S MODELS. THE PROBLEM WAS SO SEVERE THAT I HAD TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM, TRAFFIC-WISE, TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO WITHOUT POSSIBLY GETTING STRUCK. I AM NOW OUT OF THE MARKET FOR FUTURE HYUNDAI SUV RENTALS.
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW DEC 28 AND DROVE IT HOME ON DEC 30, 2015. I DISCOVERED THAT IT DID NOT HAVE BLIND SPOT DETECTION, REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT OR LANE CHANGE ASSIST, ALL THREE TECHNOLOGIES WERE ADVERTISED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THIS MODEL. IN ADDITION A CHEAPER MIRROR THAT DID NOT BELONG ON THIS MODEL WAS INSTALLED, IT HAD A SMALL CONVEX MIRROR AND WAS CALLED A BLIND SPOT MIRROR. THIS WAS A DELIBERATE DECEPTION INTENDED TO CONFUSE THE PURCHASER BECAUSE WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM, HE RESPONDED THAT IT DID HAVE BLIND SPOT TECHNOLOGY! THEN HE SAID THAT HYUNDAI DID NOT SHIP CARS WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION TO PUERTO RICO, USA. NOT SHIP SAFETY TECHNOLOGY THAT I PAID FOR AND WAS ADVERTISED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT?
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
Component Failure Cascade Risk
Known patterns where one defect leads to more severe downstream failures
▸ Valve and piston damage — timing chain/belt failure causes immediate catastrophic engine damage at any speed
▸ Loss of brake assist and ABS in emergency — can significantly extend stopping distances
▸ Complete transmission failure — repair costs $3,000–$8,000+; vehicle may become undriveable
Complaint & Reliability Timeline
Annual complaints (blue) vs. composite reliability score (amber) — recall years marked in red
The blue line shows 1605 total NHTSA complaints filed over 12 years, with the worst year being 2021 (318 complaints).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 10/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The recalls (red dashed lines) followed the first complaints by 1 year — a typical response window; neither unusually fast nor a pattern of denial.
Red dots on the amber line flag 8 years (2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
