2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

THE DOOR WON'T OPEN. IT IS STUCK SHUT. IT OPENED WITH NO PROBLEM OR HITCHES UNTIL WE HAD AN EMERGENCY AND COULDN'T GET THE DOOR OPENED.

HAVE 2016 WITH A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION SHUTTER, IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE CAR JERKS AND HAS VERY LITTLE POWER, IF YOU ATTEMPT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC YOU TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS AND THE CAR CAN STALL DURING THE TURN AND YOU ARE NOW STUCK IN ON COMING TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.

"TAKATA RECALL": FRONT LIGHT SIGNATURES FOR THE "LEFT-SIDE" SWICH ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. WHEN THE INITIAL CAR TURNS ON, THE DASHBOARD ON OCCASIONS, GOES BLACK! THE CAR WHEN GOES ON TO HIGHWAYS, THE ENGINE (RPM) GOES UP TO 7000 RPM FOR THE FIRST AND SECOND GEAR! THS WILL HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS TURN ON. LASTLY, THE TRUNK AUTOMATICALLY STARTED OPENING EVEN WHEN THE KEYS ARE AWAY OR IN MY JACKET OR POCKET ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNED OFF THE CAR.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES. WHEN MERGING ON THE FREEWAY, VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. VIOLENT SHUTTERING DURING LOW SPEEDS AND VEHICLE SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. HYUNDAI HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. CAT HAD BEEN IN SERVICE FOR 50+ DAY FOR THE SAME ISSUES, 4 TIMES. HYUNDAI REPLACES TRANSMISSION AND I AM STILL HAVE ISSUES WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS.

I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO PULL OUT OF THE PARKING SPOT. THE ENGINE DIED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN REVERSE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK AND I HAD TO STOP THE CAR PUT IT IN PARK. RESTART THE ENGINE .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO OPEN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER CAR MAX (4300 MCHENRY AVE, MODESTO, CA 95356 (209) 241-5646) WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED HOWEVER NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,959.

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON LTD. 1.6 TURBO, WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT). I LOVE THIS VEHICLE'S DESIGN, FEATURES, AND SPECS. THIS CAR WOULD BE FANTASTIC IF IT WERE NOT FOR THE HAZARDOUS, DEFECTIVE, AND DYSFUNCTIONAL DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. OCTOBER OF 2016 NHTSA HAD HYUNDAI TO ISSUE A RECALL AND IN 2017 A COMPUTER SOFTWARE UPDATE. NEITHER HAS FIXED THE (DCT) ISSUE. FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR A SLOW ROLLING STOP,THE VEHICLES' TRANSMISSIONS LAG, SHUDDER, BUCK, HESITATE, AND LURCHES FORWARD SHIFTING BETWEEN THE FIRST COUPLE OF GEARS. AT ITS WORST IT SEEMS TO STALL THEN PROPEL FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. AFTER THE 2ND GEAR THE TRANSMISSION TRANSITIONS SMOOTHLY. THIS SAFETY HAZARD COMES INTO PLAY WHEN DRIVERS ARE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR TRAFFIC. ESPICALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TIME AND SHOOT A GAP IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE MAY OR MAY NOT ACCELERATE EFFECTIVELY OR AT ALL. THIS UNPREDICTABLE PERFORMANCE IS EXTREMLY DANGEROUS AND LIABLE TO CAUSE OR CONTINUE TO CAUSE ACCIDENTS. THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID THIS ISSUE IS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN "SPORT MODE!" THE DCT ISSUE SEEMS TO ONLY AFFECT "ECO" AND "REGULAR" DRIVING MODES. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND TESTIMONIES REVOLVING AROUND THE DCT PROBLEM. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CONSUMERS, DEALERSHIPS' SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, AND HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. AFTER THE INTIAL RECALL AND SOFTWARE UPDATES ON THE DCT PROBLEMS, THE VEHICLES STILL DEMONSTRATE THE SAME POOR AND DEFECTIVE DCT PERFORMANCE. NOW THE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS ARE NO LONGER ACKNOWLEDGING THE DCT DEFECT. THEY SIMPLY REPLY THAT THE ISSUE WAS RECALLED AND FIXED IN 2016 AND 2017 AND THAT "THE CAR IS PERFORMING THE WAY IT WAS DESIGNED TO," DESPITE THE CLEAR AND APPARENT DESIGN FLAW! HYUNDAI IS MAKING IT CLEAR TO THE CONSUMERS THAT THEY WILL NOT REVISIT NOR TAKE ACCOUNTABILTY OF THE FAULTY DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 MANUFACTURER HYUNDAI MOTOR AMERICA COMPONENTS POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WE HAD THIS RECALL 'REPAIR' IN 2017, BUT THE ISSUE REMAINS. NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN VITAL, SUCH AS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION, MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AND EVEN AS BASIC AS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOPLIGHT/SIGN. IT IS A DANGER TO US AND OTHER DRIVERS. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR BRAND NEW IN 2015, AND IT ONLY GETS WORSE THE MORE MILES WE PUT ON THE CAR. THE RECALL FIX DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM, AND WE ONLY JUST LEARNED TODAY FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT WE CAN STILL REQUEST SERVICE, WHICH WE ARE DOING THIS WEEK. BUT, THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RE-EVALUATED. AS TO WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN (BELOW), I WILL PUT TODAY'S DATE, BUT THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, ALL DAY LONG. WE ARE AWARE THAT IT'S THERE, SO WE COMPENSATE FOR IT ALL THE TIME, AND IT SHOULDN'T BE THAT WAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE TAIL LIGHT SIGNAL FAILED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED WHILE COMPLETING A LEFT TURN. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANUALLY ADJUST THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER TO COMPLETE THE TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NEW ROCHELLE HYUNDAI (125 E MAIN STREET, NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK 10801, (914) 618-4209) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO FAILURE WAS FOUND WITH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE TURN SIGNALS. THE DEALER ALSO TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS ACTIVATED ON THEIR OWN AND THE LANE CHANGE WARNING SYSTEM ALSO FAILED TO ALERT WHEN A VEHICLE WAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,453.

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AND EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OF SLOW START AFTER A ROLLING KIND OF STOP/GO SITUATION.IT GOT REALLY BAD AND STARTED SCREECHING WHEN IN A STOP/GO SITUATION OR FROM A STOP. MULTIPLE VISITS TO DEALERSHIPS AND ALL THEY CAN SAY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE IS NO FIX. SIMPLE RESEARCH AND I FOUND MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IN FACT HYUNDAI ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE AND RELEASED A SOFTWARE PATCH BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUES. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AS IT DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE PRESSING ON GAS.
