2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING, THE SPEED REDUCED INDEPENDENTLY ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 4,000.

WEEKS FOLLOWING SERVICE AT HYUNDAI DEALER TO HAVE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628 REQUIRING REPROGRAMMING OF TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE, WE HAVE HAD 2 (TWO) NEAR MISS COLLISIONS DUE TO CAR HESITATING DURING TURN FROM A STOP AND STRAIGHT FROM STOP SIGN. ONE; DURING LEGAL LEFT TURN ACROSS 2 ONCOMING LANES, CAR STARTED TO ROLL THAN LOSE POWER WHILE BROADSIDE TO TRAFFIC. ONCOMING TRAFFIC FORCED TO STOP UNTIL SEVERAL COMPLETE CYCLES OF THE ACCELERATOR DID GET THE VEHICLE MOVING AGAIN. ENGINE DID NOT STOP. SECOND AT INTERSECTION FROM COMPLETE STOP. STANDARD ACCELERATION APPLIED, VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL (FROM RELEASE OF BRAKE) THEN STALLED. ACCELERATOR WAS REPEATEDLY CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE VEHICLE STARTED TO MOVE. CAR BEHIND FORCED TO STOP SUDDENLY MISSING REAR BUMPER. VEHICLE ALSO HAD INSTANCE OF A POWER TRAIN LOSS FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND THEN SUDDEN AND POWERFUL JOLT DURING ACCELERATION (ESTIMATE SPEED RANGE ABOUT 40 MPH) ONTO A HIGHWAY FROM AN ON RAMP. DESPITE SERVICE TO ADDRESS RECALL NOTICE, VEHICLE SHUDDERS MORE DURING ROLLING STARTS AND STOPS. DIFFICULT IN SLOW MOVING AREAS INCLUDING CAR FERRIES TYPICAL TO REGIONAL COMMUTE. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER (DOCUMENTED) FOLLOWING INCIDENT 1 AND ON RAMP JOLT. THEY OBSERVE THE CONTINUING SHUDDER. THEY HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE FOR TEST RIDES BUT DO NOT SEE THE STALL THAT IS SPORADIC. NOTE, INCIDENT 2 AS DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 1 WEEK FOLLOWING SERVICE TO OBSERVE THIS DEFECT. HYUNDAI SERVICE AWARE OF SHUDDER AND UNABLE TO RESOLVE AND CONCLUDE "THEY ARE IN THE HANDS OF THE ENGINEERS." THEY HAND OUT A DOCUMENT EXPLAINING THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM IN AN ATTEMPT TO NORMALIZE THESE OCCURRENCES. *TR

I TOOK MY SON TO SCHOOL ON THURSDAY MORNING 12/8/2016. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN TO PULL OUT ONTO A MAIN HIGHWAY. THERE WAS A LINE OF CARS COMING BUT THEY WERE FAR ENOUGH AWAY I THOUGHT I COULD GO. I STARTED TO GO BUT CHANGED MY MIND AND LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD AND GO BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE REVVED WAY UP AND THE CAR PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY VERY SLOWLY. NOW IN A PANIC, I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AGAIN AND IMMEDIATELY PUSHED IT DOWN AGAIN. THANKFULLY, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND TOOK OFF. THERE WAS THEN A STRANGE SMELL IN THE CAR WHICH I BELIEVE TO BE FROM THE CLUTCHES SLIPPING.

I AM FILING A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE HYUNDAI TUCSON 2016. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. I NOTICE THAT IT OFTEN REVVED UP TO 5000 RPM AT 2-5MILES AND WOULD NOT MOVE THEN SUDDENLY LURCH. THIS HAPPENED FOR MONTHS, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY BRUSHED OFF. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, I PRESSED THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ONLY REVVED THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT LAUNCHED AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. THEN TODAY, IT LITERALLY WENT DEAD?DEAD! WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON FORDHAM RD (A BUSY STREET THE BRONX) THE CAR SLOWLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THEN START UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!! SOME ONE COULD HAVE RUN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX THE DCT BUT THAT'S CRAP. HYUNDAI WHO HAS DONE NOTHING AND THEY KNOW THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY 2 YR GODDAUGHTER IN THIS THING. I THINK HYUNDAI IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. THEY NEED TO STOP SELLING THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY AND REFUND EVERYONE'S MONEY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO PUTTER. THE FAILURE RECURRED RANDOMLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 16,000. UPDATED 02/07/02017*CT CONSUMER STATED CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE DEPT 3 TIMES UPDATED 7/12/18*JB

INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION ISSUES. UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE CAR STARTS TO GO BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE EVEN WITH THE GAS PEDELL TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF YOU ARE TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. AS WAS THE CASE THE LAST TIME THE VEHICLE DID IT, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH.

VEHICLE CONTNUES UNDER IN MOTION CITY STREEET DRIVING CONDITIONS CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO NOT MOVE IF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS PRESSED AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY.EXACTLY AS RECALLED FOR OTHER 2016 TUSCON BUT THIS DOES NOT MATCH VIN DATABASE. DEALER DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM AND STATES THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN WRONG QUOTING THE DRIVERS HAND BOOK WHICH BASICALLY SAYS THE VEHICLE NOT USABLE IN STOP AND GO CONDITIONS.THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF SIMULAR COMPLAINTS OF 2016 TUSCON THAT DID NOT FIT IN VIN NHTSA OR HYUNDAI DATABASE, OR CONTINUED TO HAVE SAME PROBLEM AFTER RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED OR DEALERS DENYING THERE WAS ANY RECALL.

THE VEHICLE IS HYUNDAI'S NEW FUEL CELL MODEL. ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER 7 MONTHS THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. THE LAST OCCASION, NOVEMBER 7, 2016, I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE NEAR THE FAST LANE ON THE GLENDALE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 9:30 AM. THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND, SINCE THERE IS NO LEFT HAND SHOULDER, I HAD TO COAST ACROSS SEVERAL LANES OF FAST MOVING TRAFFIC TO TRY TO REACH AN EXIT RAMP. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE, I GAVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER A NUDGE TO THE RIGHT. I HEARD A SLIGHT MECHANICAL SOUND AND THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGED AND I REGAINED FULL POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD NEARLY A FULL TANK OF FUEL AT THE TIME. THIS SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME IN THE APRIL/MAY TIME FRAME WHEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY (ABOUT 1/2 TANK OF FUEL) AND THEN AGAIN IN EARLY JULY, 2016. WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE GOLDEN STATE FREEWAY NEAR GRIFFITH PARK (NOT SURE OF THE FUEL THIS TIME). BOTH TIMES, WITHOUT WARNING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER. IT COASTED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BUT THESE TWO TIMES -- AFTER LESS THAN A MINUTE -- THE POWER REENGAGED, OR SELF CORRECTED, ON ITS OWN. THE NOVEMBER 7TH INCIDENT LASTED SEVERAL MINUTES, AND THE ENGINE DID NOT SELF CORRECT. ON NOVEMBER 8TH, I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO KEYES HYUNDAI IN VAN NUYS. SINCE IT HAD BEEN OVER 4 MONTHS AND SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES SINCE THE SECOND INCIDENT, I WAS NOT SURPRISED THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER, AND, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND CORRECT THE DEFECT, HAVE ASKED HYUNDAI TO CANCEL THE LEASE ON THE VEHICLE RATHER THAN CONTINUE TO RISK MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IN THIS VEHICLE.

CAR STALLS/HESITATES AND WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A DEAD STOP AND STALLS WHEN MAKING TURNS OR ON HILLS/ELEVATIONS. THIS HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS, LOCAL AND CITY STREETS AND THE CAR FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM SO CONCERNED THAT MY YOUNG CHILDREN AND I AM GOING TO GET IN SOME TYPE OF AN ACCIDENT IN THIS VEHICLE AND HOPEFULLY IT IS NOT A SERIOUS OR DEADLY ONE! HYUNDAI DEALER HAS BEEN INFORMED BY ME OF THIS ISSUE AND JUST SIMPLY INSISTS THAT THIS IS DUE TO THE DCT OF THE VEHICLE!!! THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER TO WHAT FEELS TO BE A DEADLY ISSUE FOR OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE.

I JUST PURCHASED A HYUNDAI TUCSON AND IT'S NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY. IT DOESN'T RESPOND WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 WEEK AND IT'S GETTING WORSE. I'M SCARED THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE AND MAY CAUSE ME TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT.
