2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

BOUGHT CAR AND DRIVERS BACK DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. FAULTY HARDWARE.WINDOWS HAVE ISSUES TOO.

NORTH ON I95 SPEED 65 MILES AT 3PM AND THE ENGINE FROZE AND HAD TO FIGHT TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THE VEHICLE ENGINE REACTED JUST LIKE THE INFO ON THE HYUNDAI WEB SITE THE VEHICLE HAS 114285 MILES AND WILL NOT BE COVERED LIKE THE OTHER HYUNDAI RECALLS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH SEVERAL UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HYUNDAI DE MAYAGUEZ, MAYAGEZ, 00682, PUERTO RICO, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DRIVING TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

THE RIGHT REAR DOOR OF THE VEHICLE WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. IT WAS A SUDDEN FAILURE. WORKED WHEN WE STOPPED THE VEHICLE, DID NOT WORK WHEN WE RETURNED TO THE VEHICLE 15 MINUTES LATER. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE ELECTRIC LOCKS ARE TRYING TO WORK AND THE PHYSICAL BUTTON ON THE INSIDE IS SHOWING TO BE UNLOCKED, BUT NEITHER THE INSIDE HANDLE OR OUTSIDE HANDLE WILL OPEN THE DOOR.

MY DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. BOTH MY BACK PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HAVE STOPPED OPENING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVE CHILDREN, I HAVE 2 KIDS UNDER 5 IN CAR SEATS AND IF I NEEDED TO GET THEM OUT IN AN EMERGENCY I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO IN A TIMELY MANNER. I'VE SEEN MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS SAME ISSUE, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY $1000 FOR MY DOOR TO OPEN.

IT ALL STARTED OUT WITH THE DRIVER DOOR. THE PUSH BUTTON FELL OFF, THE DOOR WAS STILL ABLE TO OPEN BUT NOW THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE CO-PILOT DOOR FAILED AT OPENING. YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THREE TIMES BEFORE IT OPENS. THEN THE CO-PILOT WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WENT TO GO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE DOOR SHOULD BE FIXED AFTER REPLACING THE MOTOR. FALSE. DOOR STILL DOES NOT WORK. REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. COULD BE A RISK SINCE NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IN THE BACK IS OPERABLE. THE WINDOW FROM THE DRIVER DOOR STOPPED OPERATING. THAT IS NOW THREE OF 4 DOORS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS IS A RECALL? ALSO WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW GOT FIXED THEY SAID THE PLASTIC MOTOR WAS SLIGHTLY MELTED?! FIRE HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF WHICH OF THE AIR BAGS WERE AFFECTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON CARTER HYUNDAI (18100 GULF FWY, FRIENDSWOOD, TX 77546) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE AIR BAGS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

PASSENGER SIDE DOORS - FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR - STOPPED OPENING. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (ROLLING DOWN WINDOW), BUT THE BACK DOOR HAD THE CHILD LOCK ENGAGED SO COULD NOT BE OPENED AT ALL. ANALYSIS AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS (IN BOTH CASES) THE ACTUATOR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD IN CHILDSEAT IN BACK AND COULD NOT GET TO HER QUICKLY. I'VE NOW MOVED HER CAR SEAT TO THE OTHER SIDE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE THE CHILDLOCK ON THAT DOOR IN CASE THE SAME THING HAPPENS - THEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REACH HER AT ALL - THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR STOPPED WORKING SUDDENLY. IT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INTERIOR LATCH OR THE EXTERIOR.AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE AS I NORMALLY HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY MY PASSENGERS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ESCAPE ON THAT SIDE OF THE CAR. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR.

WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.
