2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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.
