2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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.

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.

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# !
