CONSUMER HAVING ISSUES WITH THE ACCELERATION. CONSUMER STATED THAT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS REPEATEDLY PRESSED THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE. UPDATED 7/3/18*JB *TR

HAD AN ACCIDENT WHILE PARKING THE ACCELERATOR JUST TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN IT STOP BECAUSE IT HIT A CONCERT WALL./REPORTED THE ACCIDENT TO HYUNDAI AND THEY SAID TO JUST FIX.I LATER FOUND OUT THAT THEIR IS A RECALL ONLY ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WELL CAR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST BUT I STILL HAD THE ACCIDENT. GOT IN TOUCH WITH THERE CORP OFFICE THEY CALL ME TOOK ALL MY INFORMATION AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM NOBODY. I STILL FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE DRIVING. *TR

7 SPEED DUEL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS FAILING AGAIN AFTER RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED. VEHICLE HAS STARTED TO GO INTO NEUTRAL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC LEAVING YOU IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FOR A SHORT TIME. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL NOW ALSO LOSE POWER AND SHIFT INTO LOW GEAR ON ITS OWN CAUSING SUDDEN DECELERATION. VEHICLE WILL ALSO CHUG FORWARD WHEN STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THIS IS AFTER ALL OF THE RECALLS AND REPROGRAMMING OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DONE. WE HAVE NOW HAD THREE TIMES THAT WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT, WHERE OTHER CARS HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO AVOID A BAD ACCIDENT AND THREE OTHER TIME I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GO FROM AFTER THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WOULD CHANGE AND THEN STOP MOVING. THESE VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IS A DEATH TRAP AND SOMEBODY IS GOING TO GET KILLED! THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT CONSISTENT BUT THEY ARE REAL AND DANGEROUS! WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE OUR NEW VEHICLE! IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 5 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES. *TR

I READ AN ARTICLE STATING THE HYUNDAI TUCSON CONNECTS WITH CARPLAY. TURNS OUT ONLY THE EXPENSIVE MODELS DO. HYUNDAI INSTALLS A SMALL COMMUNICATION SCREEN ON THE ECO, WHICH IS THE MODEL I BOUGHT, THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED TO RECEIVE CARPLAY DATA. WHAT IS NEEDED TO ENABLE THE SAFETY FEATURE? WILL YOU REQUIRE HYUNDAI TO ENABLE THE CAR'S COMMUNICATION DEVICE; THAT IS, TO ENABLE CARPLAY OR TO REPLACE THE INSTALL WITH A RECEIVER AND SCREEN THAT WILL WORK?

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HAS A DELAYED ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME MULTIPLE TIMES EVEN AFTER THE NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN NUMBER 16V-628 HAS BEEN APPLIED (REPROGRAMMING OF THE DCT MODULE).

WHILE IN TRAFFIC SLOWLY GOING UP A HILL ON A CITY STREET, THE CAR SIGNALED "TRANSMISSION TEMP. IS HIGH! STOP SAFELY." I WAS UNABLE TO PULL OVER FOR A FEW MINUTES BECAUSE OF THE STOPPED TRAFFIC, THEN SUDDENLY THE CAR TURNED OFF! I WAS STUCK UPHILL WITH THOSE AROUND ME HONKING TO MOVE THE CAR. AFTER SOME TIME, I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AND MOVE FORWARD. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PARK THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. AFTER A FEW HOURS, I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND IT WAS FINE. I WAS NOTIFIED BY HYUNDAI THAT THIS IS NORMAL BECAUSE OF THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND THE INFORMATION IS IN MY MANUAL. HOWEVER, IT DOES NOT SAY THE CAR WILL TURN OFF ON ITS OWN! WHY DIDN'T THE DEALER TELL ME THIS?! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!
