2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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.

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.

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.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN THE CAR SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON BREAK AND IT SHAKES WHEN I STEP ON GO DURING DRIVING
