2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
