2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

MY TUCSON SLOWS DOWN WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR TO SPEED UP. IT DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES ON MY TRIP FROM INDIANA TO COLORADO. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I SAW AN UPCOMING RECALL WHICH HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIX FOR YET, BUT IT APPEARS TO ONLY BE ON SPECIFIC ONES WITH DUAL CLUTCH. I DON'T THINK MINE HAS THAT, BUT IT DEFINITELY HAS SAFETY ISSUES AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH IT. THERE ARE MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY NEW VEHICLE ALSO WHICH I CANNOT GET ASSISTANCE WITH AND HAVE FILED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS, MULTIPLE PLACES.

I TOOK MY 2016 TUCSON INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/23/2016 TO ADDRESS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL. PRIOR TO THAT, MY TUCSON WOULD RANDOMLY JERK, NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE RPMS WOULD GO HAYWIRE. NOW, 10/12/2016, AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S HAPPENED ONCE IN SLOW TRAFFIC, AND JUST THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS TIME HOWEVER, THE TUCSON'S RPMS WENT FROM THE 2X AREA TO THE 4X AREA WITHOUT PROVOCATION, CAUSING THE TUCSON TO DRASTICALLY ACCELERATE, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE. THIS WAS WITHOUT ME MANUALLY ACCELERATING. AT THIS POINT, I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATHTRAP AND AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED THAT HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS TO TAKE OFF IN THIRD GEAR, SHAKING EVERY TIME AND STALLING SOMETIME. IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AT RED LIGHTS AND HAS STALLED PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DONE 4 UPDATES TRYING TO CORRECT THE ISSUE BUT IT STILL OCCURS. ALL MANAGEMENT OF THE DEALERSHIP HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE AND AGREE THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER PUT HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE GAS AS A DEMONSTRATION TO ME AND THE VEHICLE DIES OUT EVERY TIME. THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE RECALL DUE OUT ON OCTOBER 28, 2016 WAS ALREADY DONE ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2016 AND DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE.

THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT ON THIS CAR. THERE HAS BEEN PREVIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD IF YOU WERE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WE TOOK OUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON SEPTEMBER 20, 2016 WHILE IT WAS THERE TWO RECALLS WERE TAKEN CARE OF. ONE WAS RECALL 149 WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE OTHER WAS FOR A HOOD LATCH. SINCE THIS SERVICE WORK THERE HAVE BEEN ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I BEGAN KEEPING A LOG BEFORE THE LAST SERVICE WORK. SAME TYPE PROBLEMS AS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF. TODAY, MY WIFE CALLED ME IN A PANIC ABOUT THE CAR. SHE HAD TRIED TO PULL OUT ON A HIGHWAY AND THE CAR REVVED UP BUT DID NOT MOVE. SHE SAID THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHED FORWARD VERY ABRUPTLY SO MUCH SO THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. SHE IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. I CALLED TAMERON HYUNDAI AND SPOKE WITH RANDALL IN SERVICE. I EXPLAINED THE INCIDENTS THAT HAD HAPPENED SINCE THE RECALL. HE ASKED IF WE COULD BRING THE CAR IN TODAY. WE COULD NOT DUE TO WORK REASONS. I WILL BE TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. NOT SURE WHAT THEY WILL DO OR SAY. I TOO AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THIS CAR.

TRANSMISSION HAS A HARSH DELAYED SHIFT ON ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION.
