2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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.

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.

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+$7F?#$@

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).

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 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).
