2016 HYUNDAI Tucson

On May 5th 2023 my 2016 Hyundai Tucson started having problems with the windows. On this particular day the driver side front window fell into the door out of nowhere and would not roll back up. 3 days later on May 8th 2023 the same exact thing happened to the passenger side in the front that window just fell with no warning and would not roll back up. I got on the internet and found out that this has happened to many people and it usually happens back to back so I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it doesn’t happen anytime soon to the back seat windows. I have also heard there is not a recall on this which I do not understand so many people have complained that it’s happened to them why isn’t there a recall? I have looked at some of the prices just to get one window fixed and it is outrageous I’ve already had so many problems with this vehicle since the day I bought it you would never imagine what I’ve been through. And now after getting my car back from the dealership from being fixed from an engine recall less than 6 months later there’s another recall for the alarm system! You have got to be kidding me I believe I have a lemon and I do believe there is a lemon law I’m sick and tired of always having to wonder if my car is going to make it from point A to point B when I just paid it off when it was in the shop getting a brand new motor put in it from a recall this is ridiculous put the windows on a recall and let these people including myself get our Windows fixed so we can go down the road and peace and not with all the noise and elements of the outside air and rain and heat Etc some of us do have children and grandchildren to think about.

ALL 4 windows stopped working within 2 weeks of each other had the motors replaced and now THOSE aren’t working.

Car Handle paint is bubbling.

This Hyundai was trouble from day one and Braman Hyundai on Biscayne was a BAIT and SWITCH scam. They personify the reputation of sleazy car salemen!!!

At times the car refuses to accelerate. This happens at near stopped speed as in exiting a driveway or business and are creeping forward to check traffic,and then try to accelerate there is no response from the car. The engine does not rev as many people have reported,but just has no response and leaves you half way out in the street with traffic baring down on you. My luck so far has kept me from a bad situation,but I\'m afraid the time will come when luck will not help.

I have had my car in for service several times for accelerator issues, it seems to stick and won\'t go. Even happened in reverse twice. I was told it was a software update each time and was fixed. It was never \"fixed\", the issue has persisted. Twice I had the AC stop blowing cold air, dealers response \"could not replicate\". I was on vacation traveling in July and Google it. Several people said to stop the car, turn off the engine and when you restart the engine it will work blowing cold air, seems to reboot the computer. I tried this and it work. In February 2018 while driving on icy roads my ABS light came on when my ABS kicked in, it stayed on for just that day. A couple of weeks later all of the lights on my dash came on started flashing and the tachometer would drop to 0 the speedometer for move up to 80 all while driving down the highway at normal speeds. Took it to the dealer and I was told it was the \"power booster pump\" and the repair was $1200 and not under warranty because of my mileage. I filed a complaint and it covered under a courtesy. Currently my car is at the dealer and it has been for a month. While driving it home from work it would lose power but then the power came back and it seemed ok. This happened several times and there were no warning lights that came on. When I arrive to my destination the car had a very strong smell of gas and I noticed I had used over a tank of gas. I turned the car off and left it sit for a few, when I returned and attempted to restart the car it hesitated but start and the low fuel light immediately came on but still no other warning lights. I turned it off and had it towed to the dealer. First diagnosis was GDI pump and battery estimate $1100 but that didn\'t fix it. I was told it was the Turbo but they needed to verify with tech support but it would be under warranty. So then the turbo was replaced and I was given a call that \"the car still doesn\'t work\". They were gonna try replacing the spark plugs and let me know. That was a week ago. I have heard nothing in a week!!!! I have only owned this car for almost 3 years but drive a lot of miles for work. I have maintained the car religiously as recommended changing the oil every 3 weeks because of it has the turbo. This car was their top of the line and I paid for what I thought would be a solid reliable car. I am getting ready to make a second car payment for a car I do not and cannot even drive.

When stepping on Accelerator from a complete stop, vehicle moves slowly, and then in about 2-3 seconds will take off. Sometimes it jerks as it tries to accelerate from a stop. If doing 5-10 mph, through a parking lot, or large/extended area, vehicle shutters and jerks.

Dual Clutch transmission is having issues with shifting. I\'ve taken the vehicle to the dealership over and over again and Hyundai will not fix the issue. They say the vehicle is \"normal\", yet it had the issue on the test drive with the technician. Vehicle behavior is abnormal and many other owners have had issues with the transmission.

Problems with the DCT transmission. Vehicle vibrates and has choppy shifting from a complete stop or when accelerating from a slow speed. Potentially dangerous when turing left in front of other vehicles. More importantly, the DCT will suddendly surge forward,for a second or two, with my foot on the brake, when coming to a stop – stop sign, red light, pulling into a parking slot. Several times, I almost bumped a vehicle in front of me because of this. The auto dealer and Hyundai Customer Service said that this is normal behavior for the DCT and nothing can be done about it. There are no current re-calls or service bulletins at this time. 16-AT-003 did not resolve the problem. My current Hyundai case # is 10748512. Referrd this situation to the NHTSA, complaint # 11044546.

The dual clutch transmission on this vehicle is unpredictable and dangerous even after I had the recall done that was supposed to fix the issue. Recently the vehicle failed to accelerate from a stop for 5 seconds when I pushed the gas pedal. Below 25 mph the vehicle doesn\'t shift properly. It jerks, hesitates and shudders. The Hyundai dealership I\'ve brought it to says that there is no fix for this issue and that it\'s typical for a dct. I am very worried about this issue and regret purchasing this vehicle.

VEHICLE INVOLVED IN CRASH, Airbag failed to deploy properly causing injuries. Hyundai Leasing and Hyundai Corp have little concern after four months. As a safety issue, you would think they would respond quickly. Haven\'t even inspected car yet. Have witnesses, photos and airbag itself to verify failure. Concerned about other drivers unaware of the potential problem. Hyundai leasing more concerned about getting their money from insurance and us. Not usually the kind of people to take legal action but at that point.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. CAR WONT GO AT TIMES.HESITATION AND SLIPPAGE

The 2016 Hyundai Tucson after the transmission recall, continues to have intermittent no acceleration from a stop / rolling stop. RPMs will increase but it will be 3-5 seconds before the transmission engages when the issue does occur. The car then jolts forwards because of the high RPMs. I have had multiple near misses due to this. This problem has the potential to be life threatening and is completely unsafe.

We bought the car thinking it was an automatic transmission. Went on vacation the following week to south Florida. (2000 mile trip). On the way back, the car had a couple of episodes where it would not move then lurched forward. After software updates, we are still unsure of when the car will actually move when depressing the accelerator. We also have a pretty bad vibration when backing out of our driveway. I have began talking with Hyundai customer care about buying the car back. They want me to keep taking it to the dealership. Dealership says it is operating as designed. I really dislike the way the Tucson drives. Completely different than when we test drove it.

Duel Clutch Transmission in the 2016 Hyundai Tucson 1.6 Turbo is going to get someone killed, if it hasn\'t already. First month of ownership, 1,162 miles, vehicle failed to accelerate on Interstate, almost caused collision. Brought in to dealership immediately—-did DCT rework from factory. Months later, my wife, then I, were left holding our breath as car again failed to accelerate, almost causing two accidents. Month later, car overheated, 11,300 miles \"System Overheat, Stop Safely\". Problem went from intermittent to every time car stopped and took off—-it would lurch at 18 mph, pause WITHOUT MOVING WHILE GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED FOR THREE OR FOUR SECONDS, then reengage, go up to 36-38 mph and do the same thing. Since this happened in north Georgia,brought it in to Hyundai Kennasaw dealership. First shift actuator was changed, did not fix. Then two days later they changed clutch actuator, did not work. Completely stumped and saying they might have to change the transmission, they rented me a car to return to Louisiana (already I had flown daughter home for work at my expense). Drove home in rental and called dealership the next day and got—-the car is driving fine! What? What about changing the transmission? We have driven it 93 miles, it is running fine! Strange. Dropped off my vehicle on June 5th, picked it up at my nearby Louisiana dealership on June 27th——three weeks. While not hesitating everytime from a stop——it is still lurching, bucking, particularly after sitting in traffic and then starting again. No way this vehicle is safe——-and no way it is worth the price tag! To top it off I filed a case with Hyundai Corp, Case File 10310980, and a month of talking with them, giving service info and faxing my comments, I am told today the vehicle is driving the way designed. NO WAY HYUNDAI—–MY THIRD ONE, 2006, 2007, and 2016——BUT DEFINITELY MY LAST ONE. Yet you continue to sell this DCT to people knowing it is a possible safety risk!

Ongoing issues with the dual clutch transmission, Hesitation, slipping, clutch slip vibrates at slow speeds. becoming severe safety issue. Three software updates done, 1st two helped some but the last one made problem worse. Dealership and Hyundai unable to help fix! Design is a lemon!

I bought my 2016 Tucson Hyundai (new) at end of October 2016. I have a recurring problem with the Dual Clutch transmission (DCT). No one told me that a recall order had been issued (PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE) for the transmission software, nor that there had been problems with it. I drove the car out of the lot and had about 4 major incidents of the transmission not engaging into 1st gear (although this is an automatic car) from a stop or near stop. It acted like it was stuck in 3rd gear and had never downshifted into first. Meanwhile, I was trying to cross lanes of traffic to make a left hand turn. This happened several times where I actually thought on the last two occasions I was going to get hit by oncoming traffic and T-bowed. I didn\\\\\\\'t take the car in when it first happened because I thought maybe the car isn\\\\\\\'t broken in or something. I just really didn\\\\\\\'t know and didn\\\\\\\'t think it was going to be a recurring problem.

When I finally brought it in to the dealership, Hyundai, did the ordered \\\\\\\"recall\\\\\\\" DCT software update. My car has been somewhat better by there still exists a problem when you are in bumper to bumper traffic and taking your foot off and on the gas. It sputters, bucks, and sometimes takes a while to accelerate, and at other times, when you are just coasting at a very low speed (bumper to bumper traffic) it jumps into the next gear and accelerates by itself (when trying to keep the speed low & consistent). Each time since the first update, Hyundai keeps telling me that they can\\\\\\\'t duplicate the issue. Well, it is unpredictable. I can never tell when it will happen. Also the bucking (like it\\\\\\\'s not int he right gear) they tell me is NORMAL! Who knowingly buys and \\\\\\\"automatic\\\\\\\" a car that doesn\\\\\\\'t engage in the gears smoothly or appropriately. This is not just annoying, but it is very dangerous. Each time I\\\\\\\'m about to change lanes from a slower speed to a higher speed I am second guessing the car because I never know if it will accelerate the way a NORMAL AUTOMATIC CAR SHOULD.

I\\\\\\\'ve brought my car in about 4times. But because Hyundai says they can\\\\\\\'t duplicate the problem, and since they have not repaired it they won\\\\\\\'t take my car back. So I am writing this report so this is documented with your organization. I have also documented the problem with the NHSTB. Thank you C. Sinclair

I have had this problem since I purchased the car in April 2016. When the accelerator is pressed the engine will rev but the car only creeps slowly forward into traffic. SCARY! I have had the transmission recall and the update to the recall performed but it has NOT corrected the problem. I took it back to the dealer but they said there is nothing more they can do to fix the lack of acceleration from a stop.

Hyundai Corporation is not taking responsibility for the issues with this vehicle. There have been 3 other similar issues from customers that have purchased from this dealership, however similar problems have been reported across the country. I do NOT feel safe driving this vehicle or allowing any member of my family to drive this vehicle. It is an accident in waiting either from being hit from behind by another vehicle because they assume you will be moving or from your vehicle striking another because of the \"lurching\". I had to put my hazard flashers on, and hope that I did not get hit from behind. I am NOT satisfied and want my money back for both of the vehicles I purchased due to this huge safety issue. At random times, usually from a stop, but sometimes when pulling into traffic, the transmission will \"freak out\". When this happens, the engine will rev to high RPMs, but the transmission will not send much power, if any, to the wheels. It behaves as if it is either in neutral, has the clutch mostly disengaged, or is attempting to start in a higher gear. This has already caused me to put the vehicle into the shop twice. I consider this to be a very hazardous defect. Hyundai is unable to replicate it (remember, it happens randomly), my local Hyundai dealer service department acts as if their hands are tied and states that Engineering says to release the vehicle back to me. Most recently, they said that they emailed Hyundai Engineering, and that Hyundai Engineering is not aware of any issues like this. There are too many similar incidences for this NOT to be true. I want a refund for both vehicles. I will never drive another Hyundai vehicle again because it is unsafe and the lack of responsibility Hyundai Corporation is taking to rectify their manufacturing problem. It is not a driver\'s operational error.
05/06/2016 @ 1600 (Condition Rainy) While at a stop light (red light), I was waiting for the light to turn green when it did I pressed the accelerator and the car did not move. The engine revved but the car did not go forward. It slowly engaged and lurched forward after approx 3-5 seconds. 5/19/2016 @ 1800 (Conditions -Raining/Had not driven the vehicle in approximately 4 days. Less than a mile from starting the vehicle and had been driving for approx 3-5 mins)-While waiting at a stop light at a complete stop I attempted to accelerate when the light changed to green and the vehicle did not move. I pressed the accelerator to the floorboard and the engine revved for approximately 5-7 seconds before the vehicle lurched/jumped forward and slowly/sluggishly engaged and moved forward. I immediately took the vehicle to Hyundai. I was given a replacement vehicle 2016 Tuscon. On 5/21/2016 @ 1350 the exact same non-movement while accelerating from a stop occurred with this vehicle. It had not been driven in 2 days and the condition was rainy. This occurred approximately 3 mins after starting the vehicle and driven less than a mile. As of this posting 8/09/2016 the vehicle is still at the dealership.

Recurring dangerous problem with dual-clutch automatic transmission. When accelerating, engine will rev and car won\'t move. Almost like transmission is in \"neutral\" and not \"drive.\" After a couple of seconds, transmission will engage and car will jerk forward. Very dangerous. Especially if turning left through a busy intersection. Once sat through entire left-turn signal, put car in \"park\" and back in \"drive\" to finally engage. Took car into Hyundai dealer. I was told Hyundai was aware of the problem and \"working on it.\" They said it was probably a software problem. They reset the computers and told me not to bring it back until I heard from Hyundai. 3 months later…nothing!

Passenger front airbag is faulty. dealer stated that there is no obvious reason why it would be damaged. there was a similar recall on these passenger airbags for a previous model.

While stopped,, with car powered both on and off, rear left door lock mechanism working but door will not open from the inside or the outside.

The passenger side rear door suddenly would not open from the inside or outside. the child lock was disengaged, and no amount of locking/unlocking would fix it. we were in the car and it worked normally, then when we arrived to our destination could not get my kids out. there is no damage to the door handle from the inside or outside. it happened out of nowhere. this is incredibly dangerous, as not only could i bit get my kids out quickly in an emergency, i also can’t let them out curbside, and am forced to pull them out of the back seat with cars flying by. i have major concerns with all of the remaining doors failing, and it seems like this is a chronic widespread issue with hyundai vehicles, and tucsons in particular. i’m fearful that the doors will just seize up and we won’t be able to get out of the car.

My 2016 hyundai tucson stumbles a lot upon acceleration from a stand still. sometimes while making a turn. a few times it put my daughter in dangerous situations. hesitating while acceleration though an intersection. it is very frightening. i took the vehicle to the dealer twice. once in july 2019 then again in october 2019. the first time they told me they had no idea what could be causing the vehicle to hesitate and stumble upon acceleration. they told me they had reset the computer on the car in hopes that it will fix the issue. then the second time they told me it may be my air filter and or my fuel injectors need cleaning. i declined both because the dealer who i bought the car from just had them cleaned and air filter was almost brand new. after trying to convince me that something else could be causing the car to hesitate he finally confessed that it was a transmission issue and that one other hyundai car had the same issue and they had no solution for the fix. they also said that they were waiting on hyundai to come up with a fix. in the mean time my daughter, who i bought the car for, continues to drive the car until hyundai recalls the car and have this problem taken care of.

Rear passenger doors fail to open from the inside and outside. problem occurred without any precipitating events to both left and right hand rear passenger doors within months of each other. dealer has acknowledged that this is a known issue with this car. locking mechanism, actuator, assembly required replacement.

Tl* the contact's wife owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door would not open from inside or outside the vehicle. tamiami hyundai (6780 airport-pulling rd, naples, fl 34109) was made aware of the failure. the contact was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty and the vin was not under recall. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 46,000. the vin was not available.

The door actuators stop working and you are not able to open the door using the inside or the outside door handles. you can hear them unlock, but the door still will not open. this is a huge safety concern if there were to be an emergency where the car needed to be evacuated. this happens when the car is stationary, whether it is off or the engine is running.

Just short of 63,000 miles, my key fob quit unlocking the front driver's door in it's normal sequence. i have to keep pressing "unlock" several times until the lock opens. the other doors seem responsive at this time. there have been times i have had to use the key. the safety of being able to quickly unlock my doors when approaching my car in my carport or in a public space is compromised. i did an online search and found many people complaining of the same or very similar circumstances on the identical make and model hyundai. it seems to be associated with the actuator. i have not taken my car to the shop yet, but wanted to add my experience to your database. apparently, this is a known issue by hyundai according to people writing about it on a popular automotive website and i am hoping that attention brought to this flaw will trigger a recall. i am fearful that the problem will spread to other doors or that i may be prevented from exiting my driver door when i need to get out of the car.

Rear passenger door will not open. it locks/unlocks without an issue, but the inside and outside door handles do not work. my child could be trapped in the car in an emergency. the vehicle was stationary.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the passenger’s side rear door failed to open without warning. the vehicle was taken to ourisman hyundai (3516 laurel fort meade rd, laurel, md 20724, (301) 973-3359 to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the door actuator fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 49,510.

Multiple sensors and lights on the dash are illuminated, including the airbags, brakes, traction control, hill assist, tire pressure, etc. i've been told that this is related to a vacuum pump issue. other hyundais are under recall for this same issue, but my vin does not show up as covered. this is an extreme hazard as the car is not functioning properly, and if the sensor are not functioning, properly, there is no guarantee that the airbags or other safety systems will function as intended with this underlying problem. the recall needs to be expanded to include all of the 1.6 tucsons, as it's obviously an issue across the manufacturer and multiple models. this problem happens when the vehicle is in motion, and these systems engage randomly causing the vehicle to function poorly. additionally this affects emissions.

Received recall letter. called dealer where purchased and spoke with service department. they said they needed to order the part (for this very important recall where i was advised not to drive the car) and they would call when part arrived. that was on 3/22/2021. they advised it would take 2 weeks. today is 4/29/2021 and i have not heard from them. i called the service department and was placed on hold. they came back online and asked if i wanted to leave my name and number and someone would call me back. i said "no" because i knew no one would call me back and was placed on hold again. during this time frame i have received repeated mail from hyundai wanting me to trade in my car for a new one. they again came on the line and said "no one was available to take my call". i hung up. so now i have a vehicle i was advised not to drive and no way to have the recall taken care of.

Rear vehicle doors would not open either from the inside or the outside, progressive in nature over the course of several months. at the time of repair, the door wouldn't open. my elderly mother with limited mobility was stuck in the back of the car for over an hour until i was able to get the car door open. if my mother was in an emergent medical situation, i don't know how we would have gotten her out. i can't imagine if a mother with young children and car seats would manage in a safety situation. this could be a situation between life and death. the hyundai dealership was only minimally supportive of this. it is not acceptable to pay $898.23 to be able to open and close the doors on a car that is less than 5 years old. this is a huge safety situation that has been reported over and over again across many car websites. we have been a longtime hyundai customer, and find the lack of recall for such a glaring safety situation unacceptable. at some point, someone will lose their life because of this. i strongly urge that this matter be looked into in depth, and that this would result in a safety recall. i have the documents from the dealership for the repair to the doors that specifically state their concerns for this being a safety issue. being able to get into and out of a car safely is not a luxury, it is a necessity. to pay nearly 1,000 dollars to do so is not acceptable, and a problem trust with hyundai products. i strongly urge your organization to look into the huge and growing number of hyundai tuscon suvs that have this problem, and to initiate a safety recall.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while stationary, the driver’s side rear door and the passenger’s side door would not open. there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. neither a dealer nor the manufacturer were informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 109,000.

Yes, i have a 2016 hyundai tucson. in 2019 i had a problem with my door opening on my driver side. dealership did diagnostic and found out the door actuator was bad and they replaced under hyundai warranty. 3 weeks later the same thing happened to my passenger rear door. this time, the door would not open at all! from the inside or the outside. it was completely stuck shut. a huge safety issue that could lead to a fatality depending on the situation of the vehicle. again, took to the dealership and they did the diagnostic finding the same issue as before and replaced the door actuator. now it is april of 2021 and i am having the same issue with my passenger door. same issue, but now my vehicle is out of warranty and the dealership said i will have to pay for the total repair out of pocket. this needs to be a recall and hyundai should be responsible for the cost.

Neither back door will open from inside or outside. my driver door handle takes two pulls to open after being unlocked. my second row is essentially non-usable. i have seen hundreds of complaints about this issue with hyundai's yet have not seen a recall for them. this is a huge safety hazard.

Driver side will not open was unlock it is a safety matter you can not get into your car if your life is threatened or child is side you can not get door open . you can here it u lock but just pulling handle with out enter. i’m not the only one having this problem and company want fix this safety matter a recall need to be done

The rear passenger door will not open posing a safety concern. many other owners of hyundai tucson owners have experienced the same issues. hyundai should be responsible for repair of this issue.

Both my front and rear drivers side door have been failing to open on my 2016 hyundai tucson. recently my rear drivers side door has completly failed to open (inside and outside) leaving me with one door to access my child in the backseat. i have to pull my drivers side door handle multiple times in order for it to "catch" and open. i took the car to lithia hyundai of fresno and they advised me that i need to repair both actuators and it is not considered a "safety issue" more of a "wear and tear" issue. this is a huge safety issue especially if you have kids and need to get out in an emergency.

The door actuators on the hyundai keep failing which makes it so the doors cannot be opened. i’ve already replaced 2 and had 2 more go out this past week. this is very dangerous in the case of an accident. hyundai will not acknowledge it is a widespread problem.

Back passenger door lock issue. door won’t open from either inside the car or outside the car. this is a safety hazard. i could not get my granddaughter out of the car. the door would not open.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that after locking and then unlocking the front driver’s and passenger’s side doors, both doors could not be opened from the outside of the vehicle. the door lock actuators were replaced however, the failure persisted. an unknown dealer was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

When parked with either the engine running or not, front passenger door requires repeated pulls on exterior handle to open an unlocked door. door opens fine using interior handle. this problem began approximately one month ago and now the driver's door is exhibiting the same symptoms. both doors open fine from interior handles but require multiple (up to 5-6) pulls to open with exterior handles. this is a serious safety issue and it is troublesome that the driver side door is now exhibiting the same symptoms. upon checking online, i see posts describing similar issues with 2015/2016 tucsons.

Multiple doors unable to open when manually unlocked, from the outside handle and also from the inside handle. this is a major safety problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in his driveway, the driver's side rear door would not open. no warning lights were illuminated. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 34,518.

Passenger front and driver rear doors do not open to get in or out of vehicle. you get stuck in the car and cannot exit out these doors! real safety hazard if you get stuck in the car.

3 of the 4 doors do not open either from inside or outside , i get scared now not knowing if i’m going to get trapped in an emergency situation

Right rear passenger door latch would not open from inside or outside. now the left rear passenger door latch will not open from inside or outside. the driver door does not open always when using the key fob even though the batteries have been replaced. this is a serious safety issue and should have a recall on the door latch assembly mechanisms. i have a 2016 hyundaitucson ltd but am reading on the internet that many 2015-2017 hyundai owners are having the same issue. my grandchildren are at risk in the backseat! please check into this issue quickly.

Out of nowhere, the rear passenger door refuses to open. the remote can lock/unlock the locking knob, but the door is impossible to open from inside or outside. the vehicle was in a stationary state. this is a well-known problem amongst 2016 tucson owners. please refer to two online forums. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/rear-passenger-door-wont-open.603329/ https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t57988_ds1084478 also, in korea, the same vehicle is on recall for the door latch problem. i believe this is a serious safety issue because if the door does not operate in case of emergency, how can somebody exit from the car to safety? ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#

Right rear door stopped working. the door does not open from the outside or inside even when unlocked.

The rear passenger side door would not open from the inside or outside. it started out as an intermittent problem where the door would not open on the first or second try but would eventually open. it quickly became a permanent problem where the door would not open at all. this is a huge safety issue as i have 2 young children in car seats in the back seat and need to be able to open both rear doors to get them in and out of the vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear driver’s side door could not be unlocked, and would not open from inside or outside the vehicle. the cause of the failure was not yet determined. the local dealer lexington park hyundai located at 22514 three notch rd, lexington park, md 20653 was notified of the failure. the manufacturer was not yet contacted or notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000. the vin was not available

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 20v543000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. hyundai of north charleston (8485 rivers ave, north charleston, sc 29406, (844) 846-7472) was contacted and it was confirmed that parts were not yet available. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while the vehicle was stationary, the passenger’s and driver’s side door failed to unlock. the contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. the vehicle was taken to abc hyundai (6825 redwood st, las vegas, nv 89118, (702) 475-8698) to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the door lock actuator assembly needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 47,000.

Our car front driver door will not unlock from the outside with the remote fob or the door handle. the only way to open the door is to use the handle on the inside of the door. this happens continually now & started happening about 2 months ago for no identifiable reason. when approaching the car to go for a drive, we have to open the front passenger side door first & reach across to the driver side & unlock from the interior. no other way to do it. we searched online and this seems to be a very common issue with hyundai suvs, with other instances of doors not even being able to be opened from the interior either. it looks like there is a malfunctioning door "actuator". some cases have had to completely destroy the interior door panel to be able to access the mechanisms of the door to replace the actuator. since it is a very common problem, and a safety issue if people cannot open doors from inside or out, this should be a safety recall. really this is a serious safety issue if you cannot open your door to get out of the car in case of an emergency. please evaluate this asap & have hyundai issue a recall.

The rear passenger door wouldn't open either from inside or outside. this is a known issue and must be on a recall list. hyundai tucson produced between 2015 and 2016 have this issue and in korea, hyundai korea has been repairing this problem at no charge. (see below korean site) http://www.consumerwide.com/news/articleview.html?idxno=37459 hyundai usa should do the same. this is a safety issue!

The rear passenger door will not open from the interior or the exterior. it was parked and i tried to open the door and it will not move. this is a huge safety issue because you cannot get out that door. this happened to 2 other doors also. one was covered because it was still under warranty, it is now past my warranty.

The driver side front door will not open from the outside after it has been locked and unlocked with key fob or key. the vehicle was parked and locked with key fob then would not open. you have to climb through the passenger side and open from inside.

When trying to get into my car, i unlock my doors. with all doors unlocked i try to enter the driver door from the outside. it takes multiple pools on the handle for the drive door to get the latch inside the door to release and open the door. my door becomes stuck and i am unable to get inside my vehicle. this can be a potential safety issue, in dark parking lots, unsafe locations, preventing me from getting in my vehicle. i took my vehicle to hyundai dealer. they states nothing is wrong with my door and it works fine. this was approx apr in 2020. beginning this week my passenger side front door will now also not open from the outside, even if my door is unlocked. no matter how many times i pull the handle the passenger door wont release from the outside. i have to open the door from the inside.

The rear passenger side door has stopped working suddenly, the vehicle was stationary and parked, and after working correctly just minutes before, now it won't open from either inside or outside the car, it is stuck in the closed position and it is very unsafe as that is the sidewalk facing door which won't open forcing people to exit on the street side. this seems to be a widespread problem affecting many 2016 tucson customers. https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t57988_ds1084478

When driving at a slow speed, such as in a line of cars going through a drive thru, the vehicle begins to skip. almost hopping along rather than slowly moving. i have observed it happening in both eco mode and regular driving mode. this is not a constant but frequent. i also have instances of where it doesn’t pick up speed and takes time to shift gears. i think it may be the transmission skipping and not shifting gears appropriately causing it to hop or jump. at all time the care was in motion and on city streets never on a highways.

On my 2016 hyundia tucson the left rear door will not unlock and can not be opened from the outside or inside. sometimes i could hit the door and it would open but now it will not.

3 of the 4 doors do not open either from inside or outside , i get scared now not knowing if i’m going to get trapped in an emergency situation ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#

Unexpected check engine and engine oil pressure lights came. there was a sudden knocking noise coming from the front/engine area so i pulled the vehicle over to the side of the highway to turn off. turned the vehicle back on and was not able to accelerate. brought vehicle to nearest hyundai dealership and was told the engine was completely blown.

The rear passenger door will intermittently not open from the inside or the outside. the lock clicks appropriately when locked and unlocked but the door will still not open. after lots of attempts it will suddenly open from the outside. then later when you try again, it won’t open again.

The rear passenger door (then a day later—doors) won’t open from the inside or out even when manually unlocked whether or not the car is on or off. we were on a trip at the time and our kids were having to crawl over from the front seat. we called hyundai. their temporary fix was to unlock the car and jerk the handle hard from the outside. they said that the system sometimes” freezes up”. this works from the outside (not inside), and continues to freeze up even after “ the hyundai fix”. this is a problem with other 2016 hyundai models. if you look up the problem online, you will see many posts about it.

Rear drivers side door will not open even when the door is unlocked. will not open from outside of the vehicle or from within the vehicle.

The rear passenger door of my 2016 hyundai tucson no longer opens at all, from the inside or the outside. as i have a young child and nephews who are regularly in my car in car seats, this is a serious safety concern. apparently, hyundai is not willing to take responsibility for this defect, which i have found is a problem across many hyundai years and models. the cost of a dealership to fix is upwards of $1000, which is prohibitive and unrealistic.

1.driver side rear passenger door would not open from outside or inside. it eventually worked by pulling really hard from outside. 2. driver's door will not open from outside but will from inside. it is obviously unlocked when trying to open. the actuator is the most likely component that is failing. the mechanism will not unlock the door with the key either. this is a huge safety issue when it's 100 degrees outside and i can't get a child out of the backseat. or for first responders sent to aid someone trapped in the car. i've read of multiple failures after searching for this problem on the internet. it happens a lot to many hundai models over the past 6-8 years.

Three of the four doors have defects which prevent them from opening from the outside or inside, which is a major safety concern. the door lock acuator is what needs to be replaced. the right front door was replaced in 2018. one of the back doors was replaced in 2020, and now the other back door won't open due to the same issue. i often transport children and an elderly grandparent, all of whom sit in the back seat. if i had been in an accident, there would be no way to get them out of the vehicle. on top of the fact that this is clearly a manufacturer defect with the vehicle, i'm now concerned the driver's door will stop working soon, meaning i can't drive the vehicle at all. i contacted hyundai customer support since the vehicle is 1,000 miles over warranty and they said there is nothing they can do (conversation 4/5/21). five star hyundai of macon refused to put in a request to over-ride the warranty to get it fixed, since clearly it is a manufacturer problem with my vehicle. the vehicle hasn't been in any accidents that would have caused this issue and hyundai is apparently aware of the issue, as it frequently occurs with tucsons and elantras (per conversation with five star hyundai), yet refuses to do anything about it. because my vehicle is now at 61,000 miles they are saying it is no longer their responsibility and are not offering to assist in any way. the blind spot detector is also malfunctioning, not notifying when a vehicle is next to mine and occasionally going off when there is no vehicle at all. five star macon said this is also not under warranty anymore and said they don't know why it would be a problem but would require them removing my bumper and doing extensive diagnostic work before they'd know how to fix it.

My 2016 hyundai tucson was failing to accelerating after a stop, and shuddering / slowing down while driving. this is very alarming especially while driving on busy roads in which you could easily cause an accident by not being able to accelerate. i took my car to hyundai to find out it is an issue with the dual clutch transmission (again, in 2021) - while i have done my research and found there was a safety recall in 2016 for this issue i was surprised to find that hyundai would not cover the costs of repair. i have filed a claim with hyundai but have not received any contact back. my vehicle is unsafe to drive, and i am being told i will be charged storage fees if i leave it at the dealership service center without repair while i wait to settle my claim. the vehicle is unsafe to drive, due to an issue that has previously been recalled.

I had my vehicles oil change completed 3/17/21. on 3/31/21 my vehicles oil light displayed as having no oil. i immediately called and went back to the oil change center i've gone to for the 3 years i've owned the vehicle. they assured me there was no leak. i looked up the issue on the internet only to find i am one of many with this issue. i can't afford to pay for engine repairs especially when i've been consistent with my oil change maintenance. hyundai needs to be held accountable and make these repairs or buy back the vehicles like volkswagen had to do a few years ago.

While drive my car started marking a loud knocking noise and jumping back and forth and the oil came on. i pulled over and called my son. he came and checked it out, there was no oil in it. he put oil in and and i tried to drive home. the car had no power and shut down on me and my son had to tow me home. the engine light has came on 50 times and in the last year and them goes off. i took it to dealer ship 10 different times while the light was on, usually it goes off before i get there. they always claimed there was not a problem and said i got bad gas in it.

R/r door lock actuator failure. door will not open. safety hazard for anyone in rear seat to exit vehicle. appears to be a known issue that isn’t addressed by the manufacturer. passenger got into car with no issue. 15 min drive and when arrived at destination door was inoperable. locks/unlocks with no issue. when pull handle from interior and exterior no response inside the door. $500+ to fix

Door handle will not open back door, and front door handle driver side must be pulled multiple times before opening. rear door will not open at all. latch mechanism not working properly.

Nhtsa recall #20v-543 relates to my 2016 hyundai tucson. the abs modules can corrode internally and cause an electrical short and engine fire.the dealership says it is out of the parts needed. i called hyundai customer service and was told they have no way to track the inventory to find out where i can go for the repair! how can i find out when the parts will be available and where? thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

For no apparent reason, the right rear door will not open while the vehicle is parked or in motion. the power door lock button operates correctly, but the rr door will not open either from inside or outside. there has not been any damage to the door, electrical system, or vehicle. this is a major safety concern should the vehicle catch fire, or be involved in a collision with a child in the rear seat. i have researched online " why won't my rr door open on my 2016 tucson". i've learned this is an on going problem with many hyundai owners since 2018. i have not taken the vehicle to the dealer yet, but i plan to soon. some vehicle owners have paid the dealer over $1,300 to repair the door. i am a retired police investigator, and i know the danger that such an issue like this can cause. i believe there should be a national recall on this problem. thank you. respectfully submitted

Door lock actuator failure. drivers side rear door would not open from inside or out. occupants could be trapped. 4 mos outside of 5 yr warranty. 200 miles remaining on 60,000 mi warranty. $800 repair at www.hyundaioforangepark.com/. hyundai message board say to expect passenger side to fail soon as well.

The driver and passenger doors unlocking mechanisms stop working. the electrical system will work but the mechanism inside the door will not function completely and keeps you from being able to get into your car.

Driver's rear door no longer opens reliably. this seems to be the first step to a common problem of the doors becoming completely inoperable. hyundai seems unwilling to deal with the problem.

Oil in the car cannot reach parts of the engine, and is being consumed abnormally quickly. it has cause my engine to temporarly sieze, and release, and now will not even start.

I have had a problem opening up my driver side back door sense summer of 2020 so i've taken the back door panel off and i pull on the wire from the inside to open it up. i've dealt with that just fine it's irritating but now my passenger side front is not wanting to open from the outside do i have to read across and open up the door if anybody is going to be on the passenger side. now the driver's side door has started doing it. so now i'm expected to climb in true the passenger rear door and up into the front seat or open the door from the inside and then walk back around my car. that is until the back passenger door decides to start doing the same thing and then i guess i'll have to climb in through the trunk? or maybe that'll be the next one to go? another issue that have been having a lot of trouble with is the front interior dome or the console the passenger side light doesn't like to come on most of the time, but occasionally it does. the biggest issue is the front headlights and the brake lights. so the headlights have been needing to be replaced more often than i ever heard of anybody replacing them, less than 6 month sometimes. other times that had like just goes out and then i have to get under the hood and hopefully get the cap off so that i can play with the fitting and hope that it will come back on. because i actually do most of my driving in the dark when it's night time so i kind of need my lights. sometimes that doesn't work but the next morning i will turn on the vehicle the light is working again?... i've been dealing with that issue for about a year as well. just recently within the last few months bee tail light or brake light has started doing the same thing. specifically the passenger brake light so far. i could sense there was some sort of electrical issue coming on but wouldn't have expected all of this, back to back at the same time.

While running errands driver door would not open after being unlocked with remote or with button on handle. driver door would only open when opened from the inside through the passenger side of the vehicle. vehicle will unlock but drivers door will not open from the outside. this seems to occur when vehicle is stationary after it has been locked.

The lock actuators in the driver door and rear passenger door have failed. they vehicle will unlock but the doors will not open. in the event of a fire one could be trapped in the car due to the faulty latches. hyundai will not repair this at their expense as the vehicle is out of warranty. this is a widespread issues reported on several auto forums as well.

Rear right passenger door was getting stuck intermittently without opening for couple weeks. after that it has been stuck permanently. this issue started occurring intermittently when the vehicle was 60 months old.took it dealer, was unable to replicate it at the dealer place. it became a permanent issue when the vehicle was 61 months old,am being told that now the vehicle is out of warranty and i need to pay to fix this. its been 3 months now, the door is still stuck.

Door actuators fail and doors cannot be opened. this is a huge safety issue and hyundai has not addressed the issue with an updated design or recall on older failing door actuators. note, when i say old, these are 5-6 years old. as a first responder, i am appalled that this issue has not been addressed and resolved already. if i am trying to gain access to a person involved in a wreck and i have to request or perform advanced extrication simply because of poorly designed actuators then the families of those entrapped victims should be able to sue hyundai for damages.

Both right side doors do not consistently open when first unlocked. this happens in a stationary position right after unlocking doors. once open, they are fine until the car is locked again. they will not open from either exterior handle or interior handle. this happened a while ago, but recently tried to get it fixed and found out i am out of warranty coverage. when i looked up how to repair it, i was shocked by how widespread the issue is.

Received a recall (campaing 195) notice from hyundai for tuscon models 2016-2021 for abs. the notice was for a 2016 tuscon which was traded for a 2021 tuscon but no mention of a recall for the 2021 ???

Rear door does not open at all. locking mechanism must be broken or jammed. door cannot be opened from inside or outside the vehicle when locked or unlocked. no event occurred that caused this problem. this is a safety hazard.

Bought car at 690000 miles , had oil changed at dealer never used a drop. after oil change started using oil, a quart about every 250 miles, started oil consumption test today at 75667 miles.

This happened last month as well. drivers side rear door will not open while it is parked and on, it locks and unlocks but will not open from the inside or outside while it's unlocked. last time it fixed after pulling on it approximately 25 times total. i have tried manually and automatically locking and unlocking and trying to open but nothing works. this time is is not working and becomes a safety hazard especially with children.

Rear passenger door on drivers side does not unlock. started as random last summer but now does it all the time. 4 months past warranty date. 52,000 miles

The rear passenger door of my vehicle will not open. i cannot open it from the outside or inside. it seems to be an issue with the door not unlocking even though the unlock tab is flipping. a quick google search shows many others with the same vehicle have the same issue. this is a huge safety hazard in the event of an emergency.

My husband made called our local hyundai dealer,we bought are car from them.my husband made an appointment for oil change and to fix the recall on our 2016 hyundai..my husband went at his appointment time, after oil change was done, the gentleman who spoke to my husband about not fixing the recall problem he was very rude disrespectful to my husband the guy said to my husband call us in 2 weeks maybe we can fix it then,my husband told the gentleman 2 weeks is along time to wait on such a serious recall concerning the brakes,again very rude the gentleman i'm not calling you,you call us..now i'm afraid to drive my own car because what can happen with the brakes.i don't know where another hyundai dealership is close to me..i shouldn't have to find another,i shouldn't have to look for another hyundai and i shouldn't have to wait 2weeks to get the issue fixed..so i won't drive my car until the issue is fixed..i shouldn't have to wait 2 weeks or longer.im disgusted how hyundai treated my husband with such disrespect..something needs to be done on how they treat customers,and brush off how serious the recall is.i will never buy a hyundai vehicle again.thank you

Excessive oil consumption resulted in engine failure with out warning lights appearing. driving down the road, the engine stopped running, battery, oil and check engine lights appeared. the car rolled to a stop on the shoulder of the road. the car then would not restart, but had power and battery life left due to the battery being 1 yr old. the car had to be towed to a mechanic. the mechanic cited engine failure and said it was due to oil consumption. the oil had large amount of metal in it despite it having 128k miles on it.

In 2019, the rear passenger door failed to open from inside or outside. we had it repaired by hyundai dealership. now, the passenger front door is doing the same. we can understand one bad part, but found it too coincidental that it happened twice. neither was due to operator caused damage or misuse. we researched it and found many others suffering the same issue. this is a safety hazard and should be covered by manufacturer. this vehicle is primarily single passenger use with occasional use of the other doors to put groceries in/out. had it been failure from overuse, it would have been the driver door.

My child or anyone in the rear passenger side can not get out of their door because the door will not open at all even when unlocked this has been like this for 4 days no matter what i try the door will not open. this is not a malfuction this is acutally a safely hazzard. my child is traumatized and has nightmares because he fears he will die if there is a fire in the car he is autistic.

Ongoing problem with doors not opening from inside the vehicle or outside. already repaired one at dealership under warranty, other 2 doors repaired and needing repair again. front drivers door and rear driver door currently effected. extremely unsafe if in an accident and two working doors are damaged and unoperational. hyundai says they don't have a problem but complaints on the internet are huge in numbers.

The left rear passenger door will not open from the inside nor from the outside which i feel causes a severe safety concern in the event of an emergency that requires immediate access to someone in the rear seat.

The rear passenger door and front driver door on my vehicle will not open from the inside or outside of the vehicle. key fob has new batteries and can hear the locks engaging/ disengaging, however the doors will not open. huge safety issue , this must be addressed immediately. upon reading online, numerous customers have the same exact issue , hyundai has done nothing. must be a recall now , cost to repair is over $2,000. this problem can lead to serious physical injury or death.

The passenger side back door will not open when car is unlocked. the door will not open from the inside either. the handle has to be pulled forcefully several times before the door will open.

The car seems to be acting as if there is an electrical fault. all of the safety sensors on the car are flashing and the power steering does not work. my wife and i currently are stationed overseas in italy and the hyundai dealership said to take it to hyuandai for repair. the hyundai dealership here refuses to touch it or even reply to us. the vehicle is not driveable.

The rear passenger door could not be opened from the outside, even though the handle was not stuck. springfield hyundai in springfield, pa inspected and confirmed the problem, but did not fix because the vehicle was out of warranty. another shop replaced the door lock actuator.

Rear driver door stopped opening from inside and outside even though the handle moves freely and the locks are functioning (child safety is not engaged). a few months after that door stopped working the front passenger door outside handle fails to open 9 times out of 10 but locks still function. everything else about the doors work fine and there has been no trauma to the vehicle.

Originally when i purchased my car i complained to the dealer about my radio going black and they claimed it was due to the cold and brushed it off. now recently i had the same issue but now as i was driving straight on the highway all of the lights on the dash keep flickering on and off telling me to check every system. my car signals/hazards will not work. speedometer will not work along with blind spot recognition and other things.

The vehicle is less than 5 years old and i was told the steering column needs to be replaced. it clicks when ever the steering wheel is turned. i was told it is fine to drive it until i get it repaired but after reading what could happen that doesn’t seem true. i have had the back passenger door latch replaced because it wouldn’t open from the inside or outside. now to open my from passenger door you have to pull the door handle 3 times to get it to open. my drivers side door won’t open from the outside. and the drivers side window will go up and down when trying to put just up or down.*dt*jb

My back passenger door lock actuator is failing. i am unable to open my door from the inside or outside after the door has been locked. once you hit the unlock button, there is a tiny part in the lock actuator that is not fully returning to the left which leaves that specific door still locked. it takes several pulls/pushes on the door to get it open again and sometimes it can take days before i can get it to open again. my husband was able to take the door panel off to see the functionality of the actuator and was able to see the part was failing when he would try to unlock the door with the key foib/unlock button. based on my research this is a known issue with hyundai tucsons but hyundai has not issued a recall and will charge a diagnostic fee of $100 plus cost of labor and part to repair. this is a serious safety concern for my passengers and should be an issue hyundai makes right. this issue is occurring regardless if my vehicle is running or not.

Child safety lock switch not operational on passenger rear seat. cannot open the door from inside or outside. cannot open dood to change switch position

The rear driver door is stuck closed no matter what i do. after looking online, it seems like multiple people are having the same issue with the door actuator going out. now if people are in my back seat, people are stuck and have to go out the other door. my fear now is the other door will go out also and someone will be stuck in the back of my car.

Rear passenger door is locked from the inside and out. this is a safety concern and needs to be recalled. all the locks on the door need to be upgraded and repaired not just replaced by the same faulty locks.

When pulling out of parking area, or starting up from a complete stop at a light or stop sign, when i press the gas of the vehicle , it hesitates . it almost seems like it’s going to cut out and then it catches and lounges forward. i noticed it from the time i purchased it.

The door locking mechanism is faulty. i am unable to open a passenger door from the outside or the inside, regardless of child lock position. i have two children, a 2 year old and a 7 month old. the faulty part is a widespread issue among tuscon's and in the event of a crash or a vehicular fire, i would be unable to access my child because the door would not open.

My back passenger door won't open from the inside or the outside. you can hear the power lock working, but the door won't open. the problem started out gradually where the door wouldn't open unless you pulled the handle more than once and now it won't open at all. it's very dangerous for people in the back seat because they can't get out in an emergency through that door.

After picking my grandson up from surgery on both legs went to get him out of the car and neither of the doors in the rear would open this is a problem with hyundai that has not been addressed they should be a recall on this this is a dangerous situation specially in a place like florida where we have bodies of water all over next to the roads in an emergencyyou will not be able to get out

Rear passenger side door will no longer open from the inside or outside.

2016 hyundai tucson rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. this happened january 2021. i was waiting for the entire fire recall to come up with a fix so i could take it in at the same time. now, the front driver door will not open from the outside, only the inside. hyundai is saying it is out of warranty and i will need to pay for both. quick research online shows me that there are hundreds of people also experiencing this problem. this should be evaluated as it is a safety issue if my car catches fire before there can be a fix for the recall and myself or my passengers are unable to get out of the car if it is on fire.

The recall information said that for my model year of vehicle the service procedure hasn't been developed yet. the recall was in early sept.; it's now almost the end of february. what is a reasonable amount of time? you said if they don't resolve it in a reasonable amount of time to file a complaint.

My rear passenger door doesn’t open from the inside or outside. not matter what i do. i have done some research and this is extremely common. why is this not on recall. i also have a problem when i try to open. the front driver door. i have to pump the handle a few times and then it releases. i called about the warranty and to get it fixed but was 8 days late but under mileage. they refused to do anything about it

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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!

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.

Transmission has a harsh delayed shift on attempting to accelerate from a stopped position.

Problems with vehicle since purchase. brought cat back to dealer for repair 4 times, but problems still remain. prior to last software upgrade, car would not accelerate after stopping, would jerk without warning, slow going up hill, would roll back, and would stop and then propel forward. once last recall (3) done, the car still in not driving appropriately. car runs rough, still jerks, still slow to go up hill and still intermittently stops. transmission warning (over heated) came on, yet the computer did not make note of it when read for problems as if it never happened. car is unsafe, is not driving as expected nor as it should. gas mileage is also very low, considerably lower than what was promised upon purchase.

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.

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.

The car has had several issues since i got it brand new off the lot, however the biggest issues is with the transmission. i currently have 35k miles on the car and the issues are coming more frequent. the biggest issue is the hesitate and lurch problem. you can be on an incline or just trying to go across an intersection when it happens. you press the gas, the car hesitates as the gears change and you slowly roll out into the street, then the car lurches you forward. i came within a few inches of hitting the bumber of another car after i was lurched forward. there seems to be no reason or pattern behind this. it just happens randomly. the whole car shakes as this happens, so bad that even passengers can feel it.

Called hyundai corporate office via cell auto svcs! asked for request service now!!! w/come in and request a date for set quickly but cannot get a tow to bring the car to services! reasons: hyundai passenger left side won't move! rpm was very high. roder wheel when backing up showed a large sound.

Tl* the contact leased a 2016 hyundai tucson. within two years of owning the vehicle, the accelerator pedal was applied and the vehicle was slow to gain speed. the dealer indicated that there was an unknown manufacturer recall and provided a software update. however, months later, the condition continued intermittently and more frequently. the dealer (courtesy hyundai, 939 newport ave, pawtucket, ri 02861 (401) 622-1295) was notified of the failure, test drove the vehicle, and indicated that it was a known issue from the manufacturer. the dealer had not yet developed a solution. the dealer indicated that the vehicle was not included in any manufacturer recall. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. on several occasions, while driving over 35 mph, the vehicle accelerated without warning. the contact depressed the accelerator pedal to gain control before depressing the brake pedal. the contact was concerned that the failure could cause a crash. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to south charlotte hyundai (8525 south blvd, charlotte, nc 28273 (980) 224-5870) where it was diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified and provided case number: 10451311. the manufacturer stated that the contact would hear from them within three to five days. the failure mileage was 7,000. updated 09/06/17*lj. *cn

The tucson lurches and hesitates when in stop and go traffic, driving at a reduced speed (i.e., in residential neighborhoods) or when trying to accelerate from a complete stop (i.e., red light turns green). several times, i've been stuck in an intersection for 5 - 10 seconds trying to get my car to go and complete a left hand turn. i've experienced lurching during residential neighborhood driving. i'll be going 25 mph, and come to a stop sign. i stop, and when i depress the gas pedal, the car does nothing. about 5 - 10 seconds later, it will lurch forward. whenever it begins accelerating after a hesitation or lurch, the rpms skyrocket to 5 - 6k. this happens whether i press the gas pedal to the floor in desperation, or i'm gradually depressing the pedal. the lurching is so bad and so apparent that my passengers complain about it. they think i'm doing it on purpose. i've complained about this behavior to hyundai since day one of owning the car. they've even sent engineers to monitor the engine and ride with me while i drive it. i know 5 - 10 seconds doesn't sound like a long time, but when you're trying to turn left and traffic is approaching from the other direction, it's a nightmare.

Still having the same exact issues as before. car won't accelerate, is jumpy, refuses to move anymore when stopped or already in motion. had an appointment this morning with woodhouse hyundai and they didn't give me a car to borrow nor did they give me a ride to work - so i had to reschedule. the mechanical manager said "can't you wait 15 minutes?" i didn't realize it was an option to be late for work. maybe it's just mechanics that are allowed to be late, but i sure am not allowed to be. customer service is lacking here and so is this car. i'm drained from all of the time i've put into this car to be repaired and nothing is fixed, because there is no fix! the same battle over and over again is physically taking a toll on me and i'm tired of fighting to have my car fixed. i try to make appointments and can't always meet those appointment times because i have a job. i need my job to pay the loan. i need the loan for the car to get to my job. i need my car to be reliable. my car is not reliable so i can't get to my job and pay my loan because of my car. do you see the problem here!?!?!?!! i've never hated a car as much as i hate this one. edwards hyundai sold me a car that they promised was reliable and safe - and it's not. it's absolutely the opposite. i will never purchase a hyundai again. i'd be better off walking at this point or taking the bus. take this thing back.

Ongoing issues with the dual clutch transmission on my 2016 tucson sport 1.6, since nearly the beginning there has been hesitation accelerating from stop, slipping causes jolt affect when the clutch does grab. very frequent slipping of clutch mostly at slow speeds, clutch slipping also causes vibration/jolting at slow speeds ever since the last sw update. becoming severe safety issue. occurs even in reverse. was told no defect however there has been three software updates done by dealership addressing this issue as a safety recall, 1st two helped some but the last one made problem worse than it ever has. was told no way to reverse the sw updates. dealership and hyundai unable to help resolve issue stating this is "normal" condition where this is a severe safety issue that is being ignored.

Hyundai purchased this car back due to a faulty transmission. it had issues shifting between the first 3 gears and stalled in between each. it had issues from the beginning when i purchased it in feb of 2016 but took until june of 2017 before the buy-back took place.

This vehicle has been serviced numerous times regarding the past two recalls. updating this vehicle is not what it needs. this vehicle needs to be replaced completely. i cannot accelerate from a stop, when i'm in motion, or from a slow speed on any highways, interstates, city streets, etc. this vehicle does not want to move. also, now given all of the issues i've been having with this brand new car, the air conditioning and brakes are fading in and out. so all of the issues i've had with this brand new car include but not limited: lack of acceleration, stalling, dual clutch transmission, air-conditioning, braking, and radio/bluetooth/cd player will not always work. i submitted a lemon law complaint through the bbb and spoke with hyundai consumer affairs. this is possibly my third or fourth complaint online with this heinous vehicle. it's unsafe for anyone looking to purchase!!!! it's jerky and will launch you once it finally decides to accelerate and then i'm at a standstill once more. this vehicle has a mind of its own and i can't believe that a dealership would sell a defunct car to someone. maybe unknowingly, but now i have to jump through hoops and find other modes of transportation just to get to work and back. unreliable, unsafe, unreasonable for the cost, and i'm not willing to do anything else with this vehicle. hyundai needs to make this recurring and substantial issue right with this unhappy customer. let's just hope the regional office will find a solution and pay off the rest of this car. i shouldn't be terrified every time i get into my car to drive with my baby because i know one of these times, we will get hit. pretty sad to be sitting in the middle of an intersection and i can't move and other people won't move for you. the likelihood of getting hit... 99%. please make this right.

This car has had a problem accelerating from a stopped position since i purchased it in april 2016. when pressing the accelerator from a stopped position, the engine will rev but the car will only creep slowly forward into traffic. this is an intermittent problem that happens several times a month. despite performing the recall and recall updates on the transmission, the acceleration problem still persists.

I have submitted complaints and claims on this vehicle more than twice now and have taken it into the dealership almost 10 times! i'm still having the same exact issues i've had before just a month after purchasing this 2016 (brand new) car last year! the acceleration still staggers and i can't move from a stop, slow down, or when i'm already in motion on the highway, on city streets, county roads, and the interstate - not my idea of a safe car when that's why i bought it in the first place! it stalls and the rpms and everything on the odometer drops to almost zero. take back this awfully made vehicle! it's extremely unsafe and "updates" aren't permanently fixing the issues. stop giving it a band-aid "fix" and just take this car back. lemon law. lemon law. lemon law. i don't want it. when there's on-coming traffic and i can't move, how am i suppose to stop someone from hitting me with my baby in the backseat!?!?!? i can't. because i can't make this car move.

Passenger airbag failure to inflate warning light on dash. dealer replaced airbag controller module on recommendation of mfg.

When accelerating from a stop i have had several problems with the vehicle not speeding up. it acts as if it is not getting gas. i can push the gas pedal all the way down to the floor and it just keeps going the same speed (about 2-5mph). i have almost been hit once when pulling into traffic and almost caused an accident once when a car had to swerve to miss me. i never know when or if this is going to happen again. i took it into the dealer to have it looked at and they said an update for the transmission was issued and that would fix the problem. well, the same thing is still happening so i took it back again to be looked at. now they tell me hyundai is going to release another update soon. this is a very dangerous problem and i do not feel safe driving this vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the vehicle hesitated to accelerate. the failure occurred four times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (hazleton hyundai located at 703 airport rd, hazle township, pa 18202) where it was diagnosed; however, a failure could not be found. the technician informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed. the contact stated that the vehicle was previously serviced at the hazleton hyundai dealer per nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the failure was never corrected. the manufacturer informed the contact that the vehicle was operating as designed and advised him to call the bbb. the approximate failure mileage was 10,000. updated 08/24/17*lj *cn

When the car is stationary, it sometimes does not move when you give press the gas pedal. when pressing he gas pedal, the engine will rev, the rpms will increase, but the car will not move or will sometimes sputter and barely crawl. this seems to only happen when trying to accelerate from a stationary position.

When leaving a stop sign the car would not speed up. had the transmission software updated from a recall, but the problem keeps happening. was almost hit by another vehicle because of this problem.

Short passenger trying to use an auto seat cushion found that airbag protection was disengaged (off)--in motion or stationary. when cushion was removed, airbag protection was engaged (on). passenger seat should be up-down adjustable for persons of different heights. or sensors improved.

Occasionally, on a city street at stop signal or stop sign, vehicle fails to accelerate from a stop as gas pedal is pressed. revs to high rpm's, and as transmission catches up, the vehicle lunges forward violently, nearly causing rear end collision on several different occasions. continues to happen after two separate recall/dct program updates with hyundai dealer.

Related to original recall campaign - 16v628000. i had the updated transmission control software/recall installed in november of 2016. the update worked for a time, but performance has steadily declined once again (this software has been either updated or reset by hyundai multiple times since purchase). i have been stuck at intersections with no acceleration, the ability to accelerate when merging onto freeways is limited (almost impossible to convince the car to shift to a lower gear), and shifting out of 1st gear at low speeds/local traffic is highly sporadic (sometimes it feels like the 'clutch' is half engaged; other times it won't shift out of first, so you accelerate faster than you want and at much higher rpm than would be considered normal driving). hyundai has just reset the software in my car so that it can 'learn' again, but the update provided with the recall did not fix the problem. i would very much like something to be done as new car owners should not have to update software multiple times per year in order to have their vehicle operate safely.

Vehicle will not accelerate from a stop at times until 3000 rpm and then squeals tires. it is a saftey issue. hyunda dealer did a recall which has not fixed the problem completely. it is intermittant.

10/12/16: brought in for recall of dct after calling to schedule a service to address the transmission not accelerating properly and hesitating to change gears. 12/29/16. returned for same issue with transmission. service performed a 2nd recall on an upgrade to transmission for same issue. 2/23/17 returned again for same issue. no maintenance performed. stated that all was functioning properly and that is how a dct should respond. 4/25/17. returned again for same issue. stated no problems exists. engineer was going to be contacted to perform test drive and further investigate issues. engineer contacted and refused to come and perform test drive. 4/26/17: contacted hyundai consumer affairs (complain #10185159). case manager assigned. stated i would hear within 3-5 days. never heard. 4/28/17: after speaking with an attorney, sent a certified letter to hyundai 112 re: vehicle and wanting to terminate lease b/c they can't fulfill safety and repairs. (heard back from fran in service...no recourse offered) 5/4/17: contacted consumer affairs for a 2nd time. no results. left message for case manager and her manager. 5/4/17: spoke to fran (112 hyundai) waiting to hear of appointment with engineer. 5/10/17: contacted by claims to schedule an appointment on 5/18 with engineer and regional manager. 5/18/17: prior to test drive, engineer claimed there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and that the transmission was designed to perform as it was. completed test drive with engineer while he provided tips of how to properly drive with a dct and how the vehicle was designed with the hesitation known. 5/27/17: contacted a private transmission specialist regarding hesitation/jerking of transmission. provided a test drive and it was agreed that the transmission was hesitating and jerking when trying to accelerate which is not normal.

I purchased a brand new 2016 hyundai tucson. about a month later, we started experiencing a problem with the vehicle. while accelerating, the car seems to lose power and stalls. then all of a sudden, the power kicks on and causes the car to jolt. this happens erratically and at least 2x per month. it’s incredibly dangerous, especially when it happens while i am in an intersection. i received a letter from hyundai regarding this recall, but the service did not help my vehicle at all. i called the dealership to have it looked at again, and the man stated that this is a common complaint, but the hyundai corporation is stating that this is “normal” for dual transmissions.

This is my 2nd hyundai tucson 1.6l turbo limited w ultimate package. the first 2016 hyundai tucson limited was repurchased by hyundai motor america with only 9k miles on it for the same issue everyone else is experiencing. my 2nd tucson has 32k miles on it and it's been in the service department numerous occasions for the same reason everyone else has mentioned. the car hesitates when i press on the accelerator as if it is has gone into neutral, then all of a sudden it will lurch forward giving you whiplash. i am so tired of being 'stonewalled' by hyundai - look at all these complaints for the same issue and where is hyundai? where is their response? i'm tired of the service department telling me they can't duplicate my concern when i show them a video of exactly what it's doing. this reminds of the pinto disasters back in the 70's. how many people have to die before hyundai accepts responsibility for a poorly designed engine transmission combination. how many people? i'm so tired of this that i want to hire an attorney - this is negligence on hyundai's part, they are just waiting to see how many people die before they react. look up 2017 hyundai tucson, the problem continues - so removing 'eco' mode in 2017, didn't resolve the issue. anyone who would like to talk about their issue or would be interested in filing a lawsuit against hyundai - please call me at [xxx] or email me at [xxx] it's about time we stand up and fight back - this can't continue. why does someone always have to die before car manufacturers react to a situation? please call me [xxx] or [xxx] my name is [xxx] and i'm a 2x 2016 hyundai tucson owner, so i have every right to talk about my experiences when it comes to this vehicle. i've been through the process once before, so let's do it again. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2016 hyundai tucson 1.6t with the 7spd dual clutch transmission refused to respond to accelerator pedal after starting from a dead stop. situation: stopped at an intersection waiting to turn left, proceeded to accelerate from the stop to turn left through the intersection at ~5mph and half way through the middle of the turn/intersection the car refused to respond to gas pedal input for increased speed. i tried depressing the gas pedal more, but no response. i completely let off the pedal and then re-applied and the car started to respond with regular power delivery with the transmission shuddering a bit. cars approaching the intersection had to wait for me to get through, luckily it wasn't extremely busy with fast moving traffic. i feel this 'random' lack of response to the gas pedal poses a serious safety issue. the tucson has had the latest t1b dct update (16-01-057) applied at the dealer since 3/11/17. this is not the first time the car has given me issues accelerating or continuing to accelerate. transmission also experiences intermittent problems when asking to downshift under 3/4-full throttle conditions - it often will half engage and feel like it's slipping in gear eventually applying the right get with no slip. this creates questionable passing on the highway since you never really know what the transmission is going to do when requesting it to perform multiple downshifts under power.

10-31-2015 purchased vehicle. 10-31-2015. 3-2-2016 mileage 1691, returned vehicle back to hyundai dealer for ecm engine control module & tcm transmission control module software updates per ty8 hard shifting complaints. 7-22-2016 campaign 145 secondary hood latch repair. 10-21-2017 campaign 149 ecm & tcm software update for dct problems. 5-2-2017 t1b ecm software update for dct problems. software update improves transmission jerking from 0 to 15 mph. 5-21-2017 mileage 12,500, outside temp 70 deg f, stranded on interstate, transmission in drive but not vehicle not moving. vehicle towed to dealer. hyundai service finds faulty fuel tank pressure sensor and bad wiring harness. replaces both. 5-23-2017 picked up vehicle and drove normal on way home. i have lost confidence in this vehicle and wished i had purchased the se model with the 6 speed conventional transmission and not the 7 speed dual clutch transmission. time will tell if this last repair will solve the numerous dct problems.

Faulty dual clutch transmission causes the vehicle to hesitate without warning when the gas pedal is pushed. this happens at random times and with different degrees of severity. this has happened on many occasions and creates a major safety hazard as the acceleration may not be there when needed. hyundai has known their dct is faulty and they have not been able to fix this problem after several attempts, including 2 recalls for this issue. lives are at risk for not only the driver but other drivers as well.

Horrible acceleration hesitation...very unsafe....depress gas pedal and no response for a few seconds.

The 2016 hyundai tucson eco with 1.6t transmission problem. vehicle transmission will fail to move vehicle forward at times and has caused us to be stuck in an intersection numerous times even though vehicle says its in drive. rpms just rev to redline but vehicle will not move until you let off the gas and let it idle back down to idle engine speed. then you can try it again and it drives normal. one time had to shut entire vehicle off in the intersection and restart it to get it to move.

I have had my hyundai for one year and 2 months. about a few months in i had problems with after stopping i tried to hit the gas and the car would rev up and then not go anywhere. i have taken it to hyundai 4 times now because they have had recalls and tried to get it fixed. after the 3rd time i brought it in it seemed to be working fine. i recently went in to get an oil change and they fixed something however that caused my car to be messed up again but this time worse. i was on the highway where it is 75 miles and my car all of a sudden started slowing down. i hit the gas and it would not go. its like it kept jumping in and out of gear. it did this for the whole 45 mins it took me to get to work on a busy highway. it even went as low as 50 miles an hr in a 75. i have several videos i took showing it slowing down and then reving up and not moving when hitting the gas. i was so scared it would stall out all together on the highway. this is completely unsafe and i was scared i was going to hit.

Any recalls on the 7 speed dual clutch transmission that is in my lemon ?

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while the vehicle was stationary, it jerked when the contact removed his foot from the brake pedal. the contact stated that it felt as if the vehicle would stall. it was diagnosed that the jerking condition was a feature of the vehicle due to the presence of a dual clutch. the vehicle was repaired and the clutch actuator was replaced, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 17,000.

The transmission doesn't engage after a stop, lags when accelerating on city streets, and often stutters when accelerating in turns or on city streets. i have taken the vehicle into the dealer for computer updates that were supposed to fix the problem twice and the problems keep occurring. recently, this led to my almost being hit when i was trying to pull out in traffic and the vehicle wouldn't move then suddenly a quite a few seconds later it lurched forward. i had to hit the breaks to keep from being hit. this has happened before, but this time a car almost hit me. i feel unsafe driving this car.

When the car slows down and then speeds up in traffic, turning at stop signs or on street lights, or pulling out onto the street, the engine will hesitate/freeze up.. this results in a delay of movement followed by the car lunging forward when it does begin to drive again, creating a very unsafe and terrifying situation. i initially took it in for the recall on october 6, 2016. since then i have brought it back to the dealership i purchased it at to fix the issue two more times. when i called back the fourth time i was told to contact hyundai corporate. hyundai corporate has only told me to not drive in eco mode and to return to the dealership to learn about driving in the three different modes. i have also done that and both of the men in the service department looked very confused and told me hyundai does not tell them to have customers drive in any particular mode. what they did tell me was that given my situation and it happening in all three modes i should use the modes which feels the safest for me. this is in no way a solution as all three modes are potentially life threatening and i experience this multiple times every single time i drive my car.

Same complaint as before they cannot duplicate at dealership. there is not a recall on this vin number even though it was manufactured during the dates of the recall i found out. i am seriously thinking about hiring a lawyer because i do not want a car that is not safe for my grandchildren. this time again would not accelerate when going into traffic. it is very terrifying.

Dangerous vehicle - same thing as previous complaint. you never know when you have acceleration and are fearful of going into traffic. also on a hot day the air condition would not work and they could not duplicate.

Dangerous transmission. whilie the car was in motion going down an on-ramp to get onto the interstate i proceeded to merge into traffic only to find out that i did not have any power. the car was still on but there was not any acceleration, i kept pressing and pressing and nothing. so i pulled off the road so a semi wouldn't run over me. i put the car in park and then waited about a minute. i was able to get the car moving a little bit at a time. once i reached 70mph it was like it wouldn't shift gears. so i decided to drive it to the dealership. while stopped at a stop light i proceeded into the intersection only to have it not be able to move anymore so i was blocking traffic. i put the car in park and did a diagnostic only to find out there were no issues. clearly this function does not do it's job in reporting the problem. the service manager was not able to get me an appointment until 5 days later to look at it. only to find out they could not replicate this issue. i thought it was in my head because this started when i only had the car a month. you never know when it is going to happen. also, the car will lunge at low speeds and sort of buck.

There are several problems. the dual clutch an automated manual transmission on my 1.6-liter turbo version hesitates up to several seconds when accelerating, this can occur when turning, accelerating from a full stop, moving at a slow speed 1-5mph. the tachometer revs up but the car stays stationary. this happens multiple times a week. the scariest time was when i was attempting to merge on the highway and the car did not accelerate and cars had to swerve to avoid hitting me.. additionally if you are in bumper to bumper traffic inching along, it hesitates to accelerate and when it finally does, you're afraid you will hit the car in front of you. i have found when inching along 1-5 mph during rush hour traffic that i must leave 1-2 car lengths in front of me due to the lurching and hesitation. supposedly the recall in september 2016 fixed this issue but it did not. when i contacted hyundai motor company headquarters, they told me the car is working as designed. so they designed it to lurch and not accelerate? doesn't seem right to me. i have documentation of my contacts with the local dealer and corporate, but not with me today.

I have had two emergency recalls due to transmission slipping, jerking at slow speeds, almost stalling out and actcellerating abnormally with the rpm's racing. during each recall, the dealership completes an updated software on the transmission and when i leave the dealership, my vehicle noticeably drives much smoother and normal. a few days later, the tucson transmission problem begins all over again like the it acted before. i feel this 2016 hyundai tuscon eco 1.6lt suv is a danger to myself and other vehicles on the road. what is my recourse on this continuous transmission problem? it has about 11k in mileage. can this vehicle be lemon law'd as i have owned it for under a year?

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson turbo. when i first got it i thought the gas pedal was sticking but come to find out it was a transmission problem. the transmission has been "updated " twice but the car continues to choke when you step on the gas and then lurch forward. i believe i am going to rear end someone. everytime i visit the dealership i complain about this problem and their solution is to "drive it like a stick shift". i bought an automatic........

Vehicle hesitates, jerks, jumps when starting up from a slow or stopped position. when crossing traffic, turning left, i have to be certain i have plenty of room in case the car hesitates. extremely unsafe! i purchased the car 7/29/2016 and i have had the car into the dealership 5 times for the same problem since then. the first 4 times i had the car in they updated the transmission software. on one occasion there had been an actual recall, however it did not fix the problem. on the last time i had the car in, i asked the service manager to ride with me. the car did hesitate, jerk coming out of a stop at a stop sign and he told me that was how the transmission was supposed to act and that i needed to learn how to drive the car. it would preform better in the sport mode. the car continues to repeat the same hesitation on an almost daily basis. i will be contacting hyundai corporate to see if vehicle is covered under lemon law.

I purchased the car in november 2015. i always had a slight jerking of the car while in traffic or taking off from a stop sign. i would say towards the end of the summer of 2016 it got much worse. to the point where i'm terrified to drive it in traffic. i commute almost 40 miles each way to work every day and my heart is in my throat every time i'm behind the wheel in traffic afraid i'm going to get rear ended. hyundai came out with the recall on the dct (dual clutch transmission) that was suppose to fix the problem. i had my car serviced for the recall in october 2016 and it never fixed the problem. i brought it in to get serviced again on april 1, 2017 for the same exact recall and here i am again still having the same problem. i have a infant and i am terrified to have my family in this car.

We purchased a 2016 tucson limited on black friday of 2016. this vehicle was equipped with the autonomous emergency braking (aeb) safety option, as is advertised and demonstrated on the hyundai website with video. we experienced a minor front-end collision at approximately 8-10 mph while merging into traffic at a yield from highway exit ramp. based on the advertised function and video, should have been prevented by the aeb. subsequent to this collision, we began seeing intermittent warning notifications to clean the front radar even though there was no dirt or any obstruction. these messages would spontaneously clear after approximately 30-60 seconds. we took the vehicle to the dealership to be evaluated. the vehicle was with the dealership for almost two weeks and after extensive testing - which included multiple road tests, multiple simulated obstruction detection, a pedestrian challenge by the service manager, literature reviews, and an onsite evaluation from hyundai engineering – and after all of these evaluations, the service department was also unable to trigger the aeb under any conditions although the electronic scan indicates that the radar is operative. they have returned the vehicle to us with the statement that it is functioning as intended. the aeb is not demonstrably functioning, regardless of radar operation.

When slowing to a crawl in traffic when accelerating car leach forward this can cause a serious accident when driver is not for this action by the automatic transmission, this also happens when traveling through a year sign hyundai has no fix for this when call weather the dealer/ hyundai were told to live with this. there should be a safety recall for this before someone get serious hurt

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while applying the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate from a stop. the vehicle would also automatically shift into neutral without warning. the contact would have to depress the brake pedal for at least five seconds and then depress the accelerator pedal to move the vehicle. the contact stated that the vehicle was first taken to earnhardt hyundai (10401 papago fwy, avondale, az 85323 (623) 388-5800) where it was diagnosed with a software failure and the transmission software had to be re-written. the contact stated that the software was updated, but the failure recurred. the vehicle was then taken to rodeo hyundai (12925 n autoshow ave, surprise, az 85388 (623) 214-4100) where it was diagnosed with the same software malfunction. the software was updated for the second time, but the failure persisted. the manufacturer was made aware of the failures, but did not offer any assistance. the contact mentioned that the manufacturer emailed the dealer a manual on how to correctly operate the vehicle. the failure mileage was approximately 2,500. updated 09/27/17*lj *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while at a stop sign, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. the failure occurred several other times on different occasions. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (keffer hyundai located at 9010 e independence blvd, matthews, nc 28105; (704) 243-9815) on three different occasions. during the first and second visits, the dealer could not diagnose the cause of the failure. during the third visit, it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was contacted at 800-633-5151 and stated that the vehicle needed to be taken to the dealer. the manufacturer provided case number: 9919336. the failure mileage was 4,078. updated 11/01/17*lj *tr

We currently lease the 2016 hyundai tucson fuel cell. on multiple occasions there has been a sudden and sporadic loss of power during normal driving operation. most recently, while traveling approximately 70 mph on a ca fwy the car lost about 90% of its power without warning bringing max speed to less than 15 mph! occupying the car pool lane at the time, we had to navigate 6 lanes of speeding traffic within moments in order to bring the vehicle to a safe position. once safe we immediately called the hyundai support line included in our lease with this "test" vehicle only to receive inconsistent information and the runaround. now, it has been over two weeks and we know nothing more about what caused this sudden and abrupt loss of power that could have let to a violent accident (if not for our quick and controlled response). this vehicle has less than 24,000 miles yet hyundai and their anaheim ca dealer not only cannot figure out the issue but cannot guarantee us that the issue will not reoccur without warning in the future. making this vehicle unsafe for operation!

Brand new 2016 hyundai tucson limited awd experienced problems at 350 mile odometer reading with dual clutch transmission causing “false neutral” with inability to accelerate from a stop while in “drive” and hesitation, and shuddering when in first and second gear. in random occasions, attempting to accelerate from a stop results in the vehicle rpms increasing with no movement of the vehicle. the dealership applied a software fix for the dtc based on a safety recall which resolved the “false neutral” issue. however, unpredictable hesitation and shuddering still persist at 3,000 miles. vehicle acceleration behaves unreliably and can best be described as indicative of a 16 year old learning to drive a manual transmission for the first time. sometimes the vehicle accelerates smoothly with no issue. other times the vehicle hesitates and shudders as if the vehicle were attempting to start in 2nd gear with a manual transmission and the vehicle wants to stall, and then slowly accelerates. still other times the vehicle hesitates with no movement when the accelerator is depressed and then jumps forward as if “popping the clutch” and then accelerates very aggressively. i took the vehicle to the dealership today (sept 22, 2016) and they were able to reproduce the behavior and informed me that is the “normal operating characteristics of a dual clutch transmission.” the problem with this transmission is the lack of confidence when needing to pull out in front of traffic. at all times you must give yourself a minimum of 2 seconds distance before pulling out into traffic because you simply do not know if the transmission will reliably engage and the vehicle will predictably accelerate. i should note that once the vehicle is past 10-15 mph, it accelerates and performs reliably and the transmission is responsive.

I purchesed my new 2016 hyundai tuscon turbo in feb. i have had nothing but problems with it. it has always been sluggish on accelartion and at times won't move at all after a stop. it has had numerous "updates" for the transmision with no success. at times it will roll backwards when in drive as if it is in neutral while at drive thrus or on an incline . it remained in the shop for one of the times for more than 30 days. a hyundai engineer has inspected my car and says that there is nothing wrong it. all of the issues i have had are not normal, and they agree but state that there is nothing wrong with it. the service dept have driven my car and agree that it still has the hesitation, but say their hands are tied until hyundai has a solution. it doesn't throw a code on any of the issues. it has even died while driving down the road. it has been in the shop repeatedly for the same issues. now, this last time, i am getting a battery discharge warning while driving down the highway. it is now back in the shop for that issue along with the same sluggish delayed acceleartion. i am 100% unhappy with this purchase. i see where hundai is making a recall, but i am unsure if this new update is any different from the other two my suv has already had. this car is unsafe to drive and certainly has major issues.

Transmission if faulty. gears do not shift properly. when stopped, the car doesn't want to accelerate normally. car stalls or jumps at random times - usually at low speeds - dangerous to drive. have had recall computer fix completed at dealer - did not fix the issue. issue with this every day.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to operate. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer and repaired, but the failure persisted. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (electrical system, power train). the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was unknown.

While driving the vehicle in normal around town traffic, we have had several incidents where an alarm began sounding, and the instrument panel displayed "transmission temperature is high! stop". we've taken the vehicle to have the dealer investigate, but they find nothing, can't duplicate it, and no indication that it even displayed the warning. they said it might be related to the current recall for the dct transmission on the hyundai tucson. i've contacted hyundai and tried to ask if the dealer may be correct, but they said they can only refer me back to the dealer. it can be difficult and unsafe to find a place to "stop safely" at the drop of a hat as it demands.

Multiple issues. main issue for now- press the accelerator and the vehicle slows down. major hesitation. hesitates from a stop and when already driving. today it shook and felt like it was going to die for the 2nd time since i've had it. it has been in the shop numerous times for multiple issues and has already had the throttle body and rear suspension replaced. it also had the hood latch replaced due to a recall and it was losing coolant apparently through the cap.

Severe hesitation on take off. when slowing down in traffic in town, then accelerating tuscon jerks severely on take off. pulling out of driveway on to street it hesitates. dealership where tuscon was purchased did upgrade on computer chip for transmission but upgrade has not helped.

When beginning to take off from a stop, the car engine will rev up but the car will not move. all of a sudden the car will jerk forward. you never know when it will take off. i took my car back to the dealership for it's first service and complained about it. the service manager told me i just needed to learn how to drive it. the problem with the car has happened several times but was just very annoying to drive until recently. the other day i tried to cross a main highway. there was a car coming but normally i would have had plenty of time to cross safely. the car revved up but would not move. i pushed the accelerator all the way to the floor and the car engine revved way up and the transmission finally caught up. the car took off very abruptly. by this time the approaching car was too close and i should not have tried to cross. i have not logged any of the instances yet but will begin doing so now. there was another instance that comes to mind. i was parked facing downhill in a church parking lot. there was a parked car facing me directly in front of me. when i started to back out of the spot, the car revved up and it began rolling forward towards the other parked car. the transmission finally caught up and the car lurched backwards. i have noticed the problem a lot while going through drive thru restaurants. not only is the car dangerous to drive, it is also very annoying to drive. at this point the solution i would prefer would be for the dealership to give me my down payment back and take the car back. i do not want to continue to pay high payments for a dangerous car.

Tl* the contact is a lawyer for a young woman who leased a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving for a period of time, the contact noticed an odor inside the cabin of the vehicle. the contact became disoriented and drove home. the contact also experienced trouble speaking and coordinating words. the contact went to the hospital and was diagnosed as having some toxin affect. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic and it displayed high levels of an unknown toxin inside the cabin. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was less than 1,000 miles. updated 10/25/16 *bf *tr

I bought my car 2 months ago, most of the time when i try to move from a full stop, light or park my car don’t want to move as you press the gas pedal you only hear the rpm raisen but car stays still after a few secunds the car will it moves abruptly and it’s hard to control the movement as you don’t know when it will start moving

My car was stopped because i needed to make a left at a busy intersection. the tuscon was slow to respond when i pressed the gas pedal and i was almost struck. a software update was performed but there are still acceleration issues with this vehicle. i've told the hyundai dealer that this suv is unsafe and should not be on the road.

On august 7, 2016 traveling south on i 44 just north of the willis exit traffic slowed down i decelerated and then is traffic picked up i pushed on the accelerator and there was no power to the transmission. top speed was 20 miles an hour i let off the excelerator pushed again had some power but not full power. two cars coming up behind me doing 65 to 75 miles an hour had to detour around me one on the right one on the left. chuck willis exit stop at stop light pushed on accelerator no power. let it sit for one hour then drove it with no apparent problem. on august 8 returning to dallas pulled off of i 45 at corsicana slowed down for two trucks on the side of the access road. when i tried to accelerate again it would go 20 miles an hour. had car towed to dallas to van hyundai. dealership said it was a computer card they had a confirmed fix. on sunday, september 6 on josey lane in carrollton texas i slow down to let a car into my lane then tried to accelerate an experienced same problems as before. having it towed to help fines hon day in plano texas on tuesday, september 6.the first problem the car had 10,635 miles on it. the third episode it had 10,968 miles on it.

The dual clutch manual transmission "freezes" in neutral even though the car is in drive. the vehicle won't move. this is a dangerous situation. it happens sporadically. the engine is also very balky and sluggish on acceleration.

When i try to accelerate from a stop at at a slow speed this car has extreme lag. sometimes it can take up to 3 seconds for the engine to respond and then all of a sudden the car jumps and accelerates too quickly. this problem has made it very difficult to judge when i can cross traffic because i never know when the car will actually accelerate.

2016 hyundai tucson limited 1.6t (ultimate pkg) vehicle was purchased brand new may 30 2016. many times the vehicle has hesitated and/or lurched into gear from a dead stop. the dct transmission hesitates noticeably when accelerating from dead stop. vehicle had approximately 2,700 miles at the time of the main incident described below (we noticed hesitation in starting from dead stop right from time of purchase and questioned the sales person. he stated that was due the dct and we needed to get used to driving this type of vehicle). the vehicle was on an interstate exit ramp at a complete stop with the drivers foot on the break, when driver took his foot of the break to step on the accelerator the vehicle began to roll back and would not go forward, so the driver stepped harder on the accelerator, when the dct and transmission finally engaged the vehicle lurched sharply forward and the tires screeched loudly. (this basically felt as if the vehicle was preforming a neutral slam). when at a dead stop the dct clutches periodically will not engage the transmission, it's like the car is in neutral and then it will start to move. i have now seen more the 160 similar complaints on the “nhtsa” web site and many more on other sites when googling 2016 hyundai tucson automatic transmission problems.

I was driving my hyundai tuscon limited 2016 60 mph in an open area when the panoramic sunroof exploded spontaneously. it sounded as if a gun had gone off next to my head. i closed my eyes because i sense something flying. when i opened my eyes i was being showered by glass and heard a loud noise above my head. i hit my hazards and drove the vehicle to the roadside. i was distraught and traumatized. glass shards up to one inch in size were all over my car. i was so fortunate no one had been in my back seat. i was personally covered in glass all down my back since i leaned forward when it happened. the dealer at first said it was an insurance issue and then only fixed it under warranty because our driving school had purchased 25 vehicles from that dealer. hyundai corporate has been horrible about this occurrence. sale of these roofs must be stopped before someone is seriously hurt or killed.

The first sign of trouble with the vehicle concerned the computerized functions within the vehicle. i could not sync my phone to the car and other issues . the second sign of trouble was when i was on my way to work one rainy morning. i exited the expressway and stopped at the red light. once the light turned green - the car would not move. i sat there for a few lights attempting to get the car to move. it finally jerked and accelerated very quickly and i immediately took the car to the dealership. i was told that there was nothing wrong with the car because they road tested the car and did not have the same problem. i kept having all sorts of problems after this, such as jerking, lurching, lights flickering in and out, to name a few. the transmission seems to be confused and i consider this car to be quite unsafe to drive. eventually i took the car back to the dealer and they replaced a hood latch - something i did not even know i needed and performed a software cluster that was supposed to repair the vehicle. they kept the car for a full week. i got the car back and did not have it 24 hours before it started acting up again, but even worse than before. it still shoots out after the accelerator has been tapped gently, lurches and jerks forward, stalls and stops, especially if it is raining. i don't even want to think about trying to drive this car once the winter has set in. i am already afraid to drive it. i have been attempting to communicate with the dealer (world hyundai of matteson, il ) and hyundai motors to no avail. i have to pay for a car that is unsafe to drive. i am afraid they aren't going to make any real changes unless someone has a tragic accident and dies.

Vehicle will hesitate when pulling into traffic. transmission will engage and disengage periodically own its own and rpm"s will rev. after hesitation car will surge forward and jerk your neck. i have had too many close calls to drive this car anymore. the problems happen randomly. has been back to the dealer 3 times for this. now they say they cannot reproduce the problem. somebody is going to get killed in this car if driven because you never know when it is going to happen. i have now seen many complaints about the same problem online.these problems occur when motion on all streets and highway. it does not make any difference if the vehicle is in normal, eco or sport mode. every time the dealer has it it seems to fix it temporally but then the problem seems to re-accrue. i can not imagine what is going to happen when the roads get bad in the winter.

I've had an issue where on numerous occasions, my car won't move when the accelerator is pressed. sometimes this happens when pulling out into cross traffic and i've almost been t-boned. twice the car didn't move at all. i thought it broke down. i put on flashers, shifted it into park, then back in drive and the car started to go, but very slowly with the transmission revving up very high. the car seems very dangerous to drive as it responds differently to the accelerator almost every time. this usually happens after being stopped.

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson limited that ive been having dct problems with. first issue i was in the left had turn lane at a busy intersection and the car wouldn't move just rev like it was in neutral causing me to block traffic and almost get into a accident. second i went on a hike up at angeles forest and didn't get back to my vehicle till it was dark out and my car wouldnt move again and this time it was followed by a trans temp to high warning and i was in the middle of nowhere with no service. i can no longer trust this vehicle at all.

10.10.15 i purchased a new 2016 hyundai tucson limited fwd 1.6l turbo dtc. i noticed the hesitation and lag issues with the transmission as documented in similar complaints; however, when these issues where mentioned to the dealership they were dismissed as being normal for this type of transmission. i have made 3 trips to the dealership; although, i continued to experiencing the same issues with the transmission, i was never informed of any transmission issues or that hyundai had issued a fix in december 2015 to address the hesitation issues in the transmission. 07.25.16 my mom was driving my vehichle and was left stranded in the chic-fil-a drive thru because the transmission failed to engage. my mom was in drive with her foot on the brake, but when she removed her foot from the brake to move up in line the vehicle did not move, even with excessive acceleration. the vehicle was placed in neutral, reverse, and drive again and failed to move in any gear. the vehicle had to be pushed out of line into a parking spot. 07.27.16 the dealership advised my vehichle was ready to pick up. when asked, they stated there was "no" issue with the transmission as they could not duplicate the issue. they had no idea why my vehichle had become stranded, but it was ready for me to pick up. after refusing to take back and drive a vehichle in this unsafe condition, they offered to have a technician drive it around for a few days to see if he could duplicate the issue. 08.11.16 dealership left a voicemail stating hyundai issued a recall to repair the issue with the transmission failing to "pull", advised my vehicle had been fixed per this recall, and the issue would not happen again. my concern now is whether this issue has been truly fixed once i pick up my vehichle from the dealership and if driving it like this has caused damage to the transmission or engine.

Car is stopped at red light on highway (4 times) and once in driveway. running and in gear. you attempt to move forward and it is as if the car was not in gear. it will not move for several minutes and then it will randomly engage and begin to move. other complaints i have seen say it relates to the clutch but my dealership still has the car (for the second time) and says they can not identify the problem. vehicle is unsafe until a fix is found.

The air conditioning will quit working and just blow warm air. this has happened over 5 times. usually just turning the system off and then back on after a few seconds will restart the system. one time over the time of three hours the system would go off and not restart after 30 minutes.

After coming to a stop, the car will not move forward when in drive. the engine revs however the car will not move. this has occurred more than 6 times. i have had repaired by dealer two times and problem has not been resolved. this last incident took over 15 minutes before i could get the car to move. forward and was stuck on a major 4 lane road. i tried turning car off, moving to neutral and back to drive, put the car in reverse, and then try drive again. nothing corrected the situation. finally was able to move car a few jerky feet and then continue to rev engine until car continued to move. the car did move in reverse. car did stop in middle of intersection once and just starting going in time to just missed being t-boned by dump truck. have major concerns that could be involved in horrific accident because don't know when this issue will arrive again. the car is eight months old.

We were stuck in a backup, stop and go traffic for about 20 minutes, when i went to accelerate the car would not move forward. i put the gear selector in park and back into drive, the car would not go forward. i had to step on the gas to make it move and then the air conditioner went warm. after driving for about 5 minutes the air conditioner started working again. i have tried to call the dealer for three days and they have not called me back, i think my next step is to call corporate hyundai to file a complaint. this problem really needs to be repaired, otherwise this is a good car.

I purchased this car in april & only had 2400 miles on it when this happened! we were driving along the interstate on 8/11/16, everything was fine until we stopped (in bumper to bumper traffic) to pay the toll. upon acceleration, the car just revved, no forward movement at all! my fiancÉ switched into sport mode, with some hesitation the car began moving forward. once we reached cruising speed, everything was back to normal. that is until we had to stop again due to traffic. we were coming up to another toll, at the base of a bridge with a major incline. when the transmission finally engaged, we diverted off the interstate because we were coasting backwards when it was just revving. this is a major safety issue! we couldn't imagine being on that bridge & causing an accident! we felt very unsafe with my children being in the back seat and the automatic transmission not functioning properly. this is an intermittent problem, but no warning of when it will occur. it happened to us 6-7 different times, sometimes sport mode didn't even work! vacation cut short due to a new car with tranny problems. as soon as we got home, i looked online & found 152 complaints about this same issue, so it's not just one vehicle. this is not a cheap vehicle ($40,000), it needs to be fixed!

When coming off a dead stop it fails to go. rpm's rev but the car does not move. it does not move after being stopped at a light or when waiting to make a left turn. has happened numerous times. i have almost been rear ended and t-boned. i took it in for service (june 2016) the first time it happened and was told there was nothing wrong with it. that was a month ago and it is happening again. this time it was worse. i contacted service at my dealership and was told that a fix came out that morning. that is a lie since i have been researching this issue on line. consumer reports said the first fix was issued in dec 2015 (when i purchased my car) and this recent fix was issued a week ago.i now have to wait 5 days driving an unsafe car before they will work on it. i contacted corporate and am waiting for a phone call to discuss this. also sputtering when accelerating has been going on since the first month i had the car. i don't think they realize how dangerous this is. does someone need to get hurt or killed before hyundai issues a recall and/or a buy back?? i only have 4300 miles on the car. i feel unsafe driving it.

I purchased my 2016 hyundai tucson in march. i have had nothing but problems with the transmission. i'm scared for my life and children's life. my tuscan will be stopped at a stop light , stop sign, or where ever it feels like not going. i push the pedal to go and it doesn't. at times it will jerk as well. one time, i was at a red light and i tried to go and it wouldn't let me. i almost got hit by a vehicle. thank goodness by children wasn't with me. i have taken my car into the dealer 4 times. they kept my tuscan for almost a month. it's august and they have my tuscan again. i still don't have it.

There is a problem with the 1.6l turbo dual clutch transmission. on three or more occations, pressing the accellerator after being at a couple stop at a traffic light resulted in the vehicle revving to the redline and the car not moving. the last time it happened (june 18th 2016 ~2pm), the car began to roll backwards because i was on a slight incline. i almost hit the vehicle behind me. i tried tried putting it in park. i tried switching to manual mode. i tried turning the car off and on. nothing worked. it would not move. it was as though it was stuck in neutral. then without reason, it began to move again. when it did move, it was extremely jerky and lurched forward a couple of times. that was the worst and most frightening. lately all it has been doing is once or twice a day on average it does the slow acceleration and lurch. this happens during my morning and evening commute. once it has happened, it does not happen until the next day. i have been lucky that it has not happened while turning into traffic. but it is clearly a dangerous situation.

Yesterday 8/10/16 while returning home from park and ride , driving 1/2 into traffic my transmission failed again for a few minutes leaving me in a traffic situation in the middle of the road where cars had to weave around me causing another dangerous position to be in. as a matter of record once again my safety driving this car was in jeopardy with no resolve from hyundai. hyundai states that my case is in escalation which has no true definition as to resolve. i have no choice but to involve every government agency that handles safety and any form of media to let them know that they will not be safe in vehicles produced by this company based on the handling of my case. this is the third incident i have encountered with less than 2100 miles on the car. it is important to inform all as to the danger it puts people in. in addition there are multiple complaints publicized with the same problem , dangerous unsafe positions people have encountered and no results from hyundai. when safety is concerned , generic generated emails from hyundai will not prevent unsafe situations that can result in serious injury and possibly loss of life. i am stating for the record, once again that i want hyundai to take back their vehicle for full refund .

The car consistently hesitates and violently jerks upon acceleration. additionally, several times after a complete stop, the car will not accelerate when pushing on the gas. the engine revs, but it feels like the car isn't fully in gear (like riding the clutch in a manual transmission). this caused me almost to be rear ended when turning onto a 55 mph highway. the dealership has performed two software updates from hyundai and the problem persists. i feel that the car is unsafe to drive and am currently driving a rental car while the dealership continues to fix the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to proceed from a stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to respond when the engine revved. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the computer system needed an update. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 11,000.

This vehicle has a dual clutch transmission. when pressing the accelerator from a dead stop, the car hesitates and doesn't move. when moving forward from a rolling start, the car hesitates then lurches forward. sometime, the engine simply revs and the car doesn't move at all. this is extremely dangerous, especially when making a turn in front of oncoming traffic at an intersection. there is no certainty that the car will move or maybe the car will lurch forward. this condition has happened ever since i purchased the vehicle and seems to be getting worse.

On numerous occasions (10 plus), the vehicle will not move forward while in gear and the accelerator is depressed. this usually happens at stop signs, when stopped in bumper to bumper traffic or waiting to make a left hand turn. there is no warning it just happens. usually the rpm goes as high as 4000 to 5000 with no movement. it can take as long as 3 minutes before it decides to move forward at a reduced speed. the vehicle has also lurched and behaved erratically after some of the slow goes. these problems started with less than 1000 miles on the vehicle. i have had one instance of a no go and where it refused to move forward at all. it was towed to the dealership and they preformed a relearn on the transmission. the problems came back after a month. after the latest incident, my dealer claimed my vehicle was not safe to drive and they had me drop it off. it has been sitting there and they have put me into a loaner car until hyundai comes up with a fix for the problem.

Transmission is slipping when accelerating from a stopped to start, or a rolling low speed to accelerating causing the vehicle to drift into intersection or lane without power. attempts to re-shift into gear were unsuccessful. car slammed into gear at high rpm while attempting to clear an intersection causing a jerking into gear sensation and accelerating very quickly. this has happened several times and getting more frequent. took it to local dealer for service. dealer checked for any mechanical failures and found none. dealer acknowledged hyundai is aware of a widespread issue with this model car and the dual clutch transmission not properly engaging. dealer reset the learning mode of the transmission in attempt to temporarily delay the symptoms. the same symptoms re-appeared with a week. this is a dangerous scenario and i feel unsafe in this vehicle especially when in certain driving situations like making a left turn in a window of oncoming traffic and not having the power to clear the intersection or lane. this has happened and thankfully no-one has gotten hurt,,,,yet! this car is only a month old and has 1000 miles on it. the first occurrence was on 7/18/2016 and is getting more frequent with time.

When trying to accelerate from a stop, from time to time the car will not move. i can take my foot off the brake and it will increase rpm but not roll. i press the gas and it will increase rpm but not roll. it will not roll forward until significant gas is applied and rpms are very high. the car started doing this at about 4500 miles. i have taken it to 2 dealerships to have it fixed. they do a "software update" but this does not fix the problem. i even showed a service manager the youtube video of what the car is doing, in case i wasn't communicating clearly enough. i am writing this after the 2nd "repair" as the problem continues. this problem needs to be fixed. when i am stopped at a red light, it is an annoyance to me and everyone around me. i is also a safety concern. when i am trying to cross 3 lanes of traffic and my car hesitates, it is downright unsafe.

On multiple occasions, the car will not go into any forward gear after stopping. this has happened on at least 3 occasions. once, the vehicle had to be driven in reverse to get off the highway safely. the dealer has updated the transmission software, but it concerns me that this could happen again.

Like many others, i was stopped at a light. when it turned green, the car would not accelerate. rpm's went up, but the car stayed still. after shifting multiple times into reverse, park & drive, it lurched forward with a screech of the tires, but then still just crept along. thankfully, the driver behind me was attentive, but i could have been rear-ended. this was the 4th time this happened in one day, but no one was behind me the other 3 times. i don't feel safe in this car.....and i loved it until now. going to the dealer this morning, but not hopeful of a solution.

I purchased the vehicle on 8/6/16 but the dealership had to located the vehicle with our specifications and get it from another dealer. we test drove a similar tucson and while we drove the test vehicle it would not accelerate after being stopped at a red light. then the rpm's where going crazy and it felt like the transmission was slipping. it had 5,000 mi. on it and the salesman had to take it to the service dept. we asked if this was a common issue, he assured us it wasn't and played it off. sadly, we did end up purchasing another tucson 2016 with 356 mi. on it on 8/8/2016. i have already had problems with it. 1st) trying to back out of my driveway, would not go. 2nd) leaving a parking space it would not go forward. 3rd) driving in a parking garage uphill and the transmission was slipping and couldn't go up the ramp properly. i tried to take it back to the automax dealership in norman, ok and they would not take it back after 3 days and they knowingly sold me and unsafe and defective vehicle!!! i haven't even used a half tank of gas. i did tell them to stop the paperwork on it and now we are dealing with hyundai headquarters. i am currently driving a rental car and my brand new unsafe and defective hyundai tucson 2016 is sitting in my driveway!!!! hyundai needs to take these vehicle off the road before anyone dies!!! there needs to be an investigation asap!!!!!!

This is my second complaint concerning this vehicle. my original complaint was on 06/27/16 where i stated that the car will neutral out when taking off from a stop. as so many have said in there complaints, vehicle is unsafe to drive. on 7/8/16, i dropped my car off at chapman hyundai where it sat for 34 days being destroyed by the elements of the arizona sun, before hyundai america finally released a software update. back in may, i had requested hyundai repurchase this vehicle because i felt it was unsafe to drive, which of course was declined. after requesting an engineer to personally look at my vehicle, i was informed (07/08/16) that hyundai is aware of the issue and is working on a software update with no eta. finally after my car was there for 34 days, they informed me that the update has been performed and my car is operating as designed. this information comes a few days too late as anything pass the 30 days is considered lemon law in arizona. since the day we dropped off the car, we have insisted that they repurchase this unsafe vehicle. on the 11th of august, we were informed that are request for 'repurchase' has been approved. on the 13th , i picked up my vehicle and now it sits in my garage waiting for the 'repurchase' to complete. don't let hyundai get away with this, hold their feet to the fire and demand they repurchase your car. the issue is safety and they want us to believe it's all fixed with a software update? what about 34 days my car was being destroyed by the sun / elements? what about the damage that has been done to our cars by the clutch 'slipping' or 'neutralling' out? anyone would like more information on how to go about this process - please call me or email me at [xxx] or [xxx] i feel for all of you and understand your pain. please stand up and fight hyundai tooth and nail on this please. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

2016 hyundai tucson. consumer writes in regards to vehicle still periodically hesitates and accelerates after recall repairs. *smd

After a stop and when you step on the gas to go, the car will hesitate ,sometimes for 3 to 4 seconds. this has happen about 7 or 8 times. it is a bad feeling when this happen when pulling out into traffic. have been to the dealer and service manger has rode with me, but we can not duplicate when he is in the car. i have about 7,000 miles on the car. the car's computer has been reset twice so far, no help yet.

I have entered a complaint here a few month ago. i had my hyudai in the shop for 2 months waiting for computer updates to the transmission. after having the updates, the car seemed to run fine for a while. i am now again having issues with hesitation. i was almost rear-ended again pulling away from a traffic light. i was told by the dealership that they are seeing when you drive with the car in eco mode that there is hesitation. problem is, i never use any of the modes.... their answer well either call hyudai, or deal with it............... this has been going on for almost a year now.

1.6t transmission not performing properly. car jerks, pauses, and quits. have almost been rear ended when vehicle paused. nearly missed hitting another car when mine accelerated forward unexpectedly. when traveling on highway at 60 miles per hour car just quit. had to coast to shoulder. then restarted car. have had to dealership eight different times. even took to a different dealership. both say, "operating as designed". one service manager even said, "it's a poor design". my wife will no longer drive vehicle, and i am afraid to myself.

Sporadically when you step on gas to accelerate, it will just "bog down" and will not accelerate. this has happened many times both at around 20 mph or around 55 mph. it will not recover unless you take your foot off the accelerator completely and wait for several seconds. i tried once when it did this, to just keep the accelerator down to see if it would recover. it did not, it just slowed down till it stopped.

When i accelerate there is no power for 1-2 seconds, and this is not the same thing as the slight delay experienced as the car changes gears. it is a complete lack of power even when the gas pedal is pushed. very alarming. the problem is becoming more frequent over the past two months of use (1st time in january - later times in feb. and march--winter in the midatlantic region). happens at slower speeds (accelerating at 25-30mph to cross lanes of city traffic), and it happens at higher speeds (accelerating at 50-65mph to merge into interstate highway traffic or overtake a slower car in same lane on interstate). because i do not drive the car very often, and most of my trips are at slow speeds for short distances, i initially overlooked/dismissed the problem. but is it becoming more noticeable (longer period without acceleration power), more frequent (occurs more often when using the car) and dangerous (can happen anywhere, any time and at any speed). i suspect i am reporting this problem later than other tucson car owners because i do not drive much. i've owned the car for 11 months and it has 3,700 miles on it. problems started showing up around 3,500 miles.

Since purchasing the vehicle in november 2015, the vehicle has had difficulty shifting at lower speeds and accelerating at higher speeds. initially, the dealership told me i just needed to get used to driving a turbo. i have had all three updates done to the dual-clutch transmission. afterwards, in january 2017, while driving in the city, the vehicle dropped into neutral between first and second gear. the rpms revved up to 4, but the vehicle had a sudden loss of forward momentum. because i was in heavy traffic, this presented a safety hazard to me. the dealership re-performed the december 2016 update the first part of february 2017 and caused a full system failure requiring manual reprogramming. it then released the vehicle back to me. after two days, the same thing happened while driving in the city. i was again in heavy traffic and afraid about being rear-ended. when the car reengaged after these failures, it then surged forward. the problem is intermittent and therefore unpredictable and unsafe. the dealership informed me it has not been unable to duplicate the problem and thus has nothing to fix. additionally, it has been in touch with hyundai corporate whose position is that the problem was fixed with the december 2016 update. and, since the dealer hasn't duplicated it, they have no further obligation to me. according to the dealership, hyundai corporate knows of no other car in the nation still having transmission problems after the december 2016 update. in addition to my complaint, please review nhsta 10948958, 10939802, 10938874, 10939196, and 10946886 to test the credibility of its assertion.

Dealer has tried to fix car three times. at times car will not accelerate at all.engine rpm will increase but car will not move. very dangerous..i take my granddaughter to school and this scares the crap out of me.especially in intersections.other times transmission shudders and or jumps out of gear.a complaint has been made by me to hyundai corporate on feb 22 2016 i have yet to hear from them this has been going on since the car was new.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to accelerate through an intersection at 5 mph, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission control module failed and needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred multiple times. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,700.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. on several occasions, while driving, the accelerator pedal was depressed, but the vehicle failed to accelerate. the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure; however, the contact was informed that there was a transmission control module software update that may remedy the issue. the software was updated, but failed to remedy the issue. the contact stated that the failure was intermittent. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 2,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that when the accelerator pedal was depressed from sudden braking, the vehicle hesitated to respond without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the software related to the transmission needed to be updated. the vehicle was serviced under nhtsa campaign number: 16v280000 (power train, electrical system) however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 10,012.

When my vehicle is in traffic or in a traffic light and i have to stop, when i accelerate to move they won't move after i increase the revolutions or after few seconds. its feels like the clutch don't engage properly.

The car was purchased june 1, 2016. found that the transmission does not engage correctly from a stop. the car revs and doesn't move then all of the sudden it takes off. you never know when it it going to happen. and you never know how fast it is going to go once the transmission engages. there have been many times that i have felt like i could hit someone because the car "takes off" on its own. i am hesitant to take off in traffic because i never know if the transmission is going to engage correctly. they say it is the duel clutch causing the issue. i have taken the car into the dealership 3 times. 10/7/16 recall 16-01-038, dct logic update operation 61c077r0, 16-01-057, 11/18/16 dct update operation 60c095ri, also reset adatt valve, 2/10/17 took the car in because still having same issue, was told "that's how the car drives". i have also reported the situation to hyundai, case #10008011 and they took my information but haven't gotten back to me. i am afraid to take the car on extended trips because i don't feel safe driving the car. someone is going to get hurt or even worse if this situation is not resolved or these cars aren't taken off the road.

Transmission acceleration lag/unpredictability and poor shifting causes unsafe conditions. primarily when starting from stopped position but when driving also. engine will rev but vehicle won't move and suddenly it will shift into gear sometimes lunging forward.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while the vehicle was parked, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal but the vehicle did not move. after several attempts, the vehicle was able to be driven. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the dealer diagnosed that the transmission needed to be repaired. the vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. the failure mileage was 9,204. updated 07/11/17*lj *cn

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving approximately 60 mph, the engine suddenly shut off. the contact indicated that the failure occurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the cause of the failure was not determined. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 12,000.

Vehicle stalls and develops a "no go" situation. the engine revs, but transmission will not engage. it mostly occurs while pulling away from a stop sign, or at very slow speeds. it also has a vibration, and jerks and bucks at low speeds, such as while you are driving through a parking lot. i have been stuck in the middle of intersections with oncoming traffic many times. it is a very unsafe and dangerous condition. both the dealership and hyundai continue to ignore the problem. i continue to seek a resolution through hyundai.

Rough idle, also while stopped in drive engine seems to race and car feels as if didnt have foot on brake it would race foward

Issue with the dct transmission on the 2016 hyundai tucson sport. after the first update the issue seemed to happen less often which was completed back in september. new update in january has made the issue more prevalent again though not as bad as when originally bought. issue is noticeable hesitation when pulling out from a stop, especially if turning from a stop or pulling out quickly. rps will rev and then car will finally match rpms and take off suddenly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while at a four way stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate without warning. the failure occurred every day when the vehicle was driven. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was taken to the dealer four times, but could not replicate the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 2,500.

Has an eco boost/sport mode transmission. when starting from a stop, such as at a red light, stop sign or evenaccelerating from a slow down there is a lag in the engagement of gears that causes the vehicle to "stall" in the intersection. it revs and feels as if there is power, the transmission just doesn't engage. it creates an inability to move the vehicle while in traffic or while entering traffic. this is very similar to, if not identical to the transmission recall announced in 8/30/2016 for, i believe, the same transmission in other models of the 2016 hyundai tucson.

Had recall 16-01-057 performed at local hyundai dealer in hackettstown and since then have had multiple issues with it not moving when at a traffic light like transmission is slipping and then it grabs and almost causes accident..dealer says that recall would not make it do this and when they drive say there are no issues.there are multiple other people on internet having same issue, so not something i am making up. when is something going to be done about this before someone is killed. *tr

I have owned the vehicle about a week. i drove into in the garage and parked the night before without incident. heard a sound of a fan or small motor running somewhere around the vehicle before i went in for the night, but couldn't determine if it was from the vehicle or from the garage heater unit. the next morning hyundai tucson is completely dead. why?

Left rear door will not open from inside or outside. vehicle was parked in our garage. it will not open when tucson is running or ignition is off. right rear door has also had this problem periodically. there is no way to get out of backseat. i have gone to multiple websites and this is a recurring problem tucson owners. i have even called the dealership and they said this is a common problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear passenger’s side door failed to open from the inside or outside. the contact had taken the vehicle to huffines hyundai plano (909 coit rd, plano, tx 75075) where the dealer refused to acknowledge the failure as a manufacturer defect. the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

This model has a recall for its abs system due yo engine fires the vehicle has been taken to the deaker and we have been told there is no resolve for this issue yet hyundai issued a recall and the only way we foynd out was to go online and look it up now they say they want us to drive this vehicle with the recall issue until hyundai figures out yhe issue this is absolutely unacceptable our safety is far more import we are both disabled and need a reliable vehicle to get to dr. appointments please help to resolve said issue thank you the battles

Rear doors are stuck in closed position. the door locks operate, i can hear it click and i can see it move but the doors do not release. with two small children stuck in the rear of the car, this is a danger. further research online indicates people have experienced this with all 4 doors, so we are driving in fear until we can get this fixed. this is dangerous.

Travelled about about 150 miles.out of the bluecar began losing acceleration without warning , while going uphill on a mountain pass. as pedal was pressed to the floor. was able to pull off highway enough to be out of lane of traffic, noticed smoke coming from the engine. turned the vehicle off, would not restart. vehicle gave no warning- no engine warning lights. car had been maintained. mechenic reports engine is inoperable. similar to all reports of engine failure in 2011 to 2018 theta engine.

The right rear door will not open from outside the vehicle when the vehicle is unlocked. it began as an intermittent problem but has now failed entirely.

My door latches are acting up my drivers side and passengers side front need to be pulled multiple times from the outside to open and my passenger side rear completely failed it would not open from the inside or outside resulting in a costly repair but since it's were my daughter sits it is a major safety concern for me not being able to get her out of the car would not have been good.

On regular oil change the mechanic - technician shop commented to me on 11/15/2020 that the hyundai tucson 2016 4fwd was 2 bottle of oil low. the mechanics inspected for any leaks. they told me that come back two weeks for free refilled the oil again. on december 20, 2020 and january 20,2021. on the next oil replacement, the same shop indicated that the engine for sure of my hyundai tucson 2016 4dfwd was burning oil, for concern that they think in potential future i will need to remplace gasket or head gasket because the quantity of oil is currently burnt. i want to make sure that the vehicle is been maintained well and inspected every miles according to the hyundai recommendation. please don’t hesitate to contact me and help me out for this solution and potential hundreds people out there due to is not any recall ban for this type of vehicle yet.

Locking mechanism is not releasing on 3/4 doors (currently drivers front and both rear passenger doors) and doors won't open when unlocked. takes several pulls on the door handle to open - anywhere from 10-50 pulls, sometimes it never opens, other times it will open. once opened it will open normally as long as the door is not locked again. if the door is locked and unlocked it will not open again.

The doors on this car keep failing to open. about 3 years ago i had to replace the locking mechanism on the driver front door. the door would not open from the outside. then about 2 years ago i had to replace the door locking mechanism on the driver rear door. now i need to replace the mechanism on the passenger rear door. this is a huge safety concern if we are unable to get out of the vehicle in case of an emergency.

Blinker stays on even after it is shut off, brake like continuously goes out, even though it has been replaced several times (may be a wiring issue).

I was driving approx 65-70mph on the freeway just after 7pm at night. it was dark, but no rain. tucson stopped out of nowhere. it was like i hit an invisible brick wall and then started to push through it. i thought maybe i'd hit some unseen road debris. i pulled off to the side of the road. i did not get out (it was dark and too many cars were whizzing by.) none seemed to be swerving or pulling over from hitting road debris. my seatbelt locked and there was a loud noise. my airbag did not deploy, but my seatbelt did lock up. my ears were ringing and my chest was sore from the seatbelt. there were no sensor warnings on my console, so i put on my emergency flashers and drove off at the next exit. when i inspected my car, there was no damage to be found. i called police non emergency and they put me through to highway patrol so that i could notify them about debris (even though i hadn't seen it.) the next morning my neck hurt and i had a slight headache (this has continued for 5 or 6 days now). my face mask flew into the foot area. when i called the police non emergency number back a couple days later, they forwarded me to the highway patrol and they looked up the call/report. the officers had not found/come in contact with any debris in the area. i made an appointment with the hyundai dealership to see if there was damage underneath that i couldn't see and to pull the electronic records. they found nothing. i feel like the emergency braking system deployed for some unknown reason. this is the second time it's done it. the first time the car in front of me was turning right and was well into the turn, nowhere in front of me and the tucson braked suddenly in the middle of the intersection. i kept on the gas and it picked up speed again. thankfully both times no one was immediately behind me. i do not recall the date of this, but i can submit a second report if needed.

We were never informed there was a recall on this car when we purchased it from the hyundai dealer. we had several electrical issues and have gone to the dealer for repair and they never mentioned the recall involving the electrical system in our tucson. we had the latest electrical issue with our door not closing. we have had continued electrical issues with this car and mission hills hyundai dealership has not mentioned the recall on this vehicle. they continue to fail to repair our car's recall issue.

The door lock actuators in my 2016 hyundai tucson failed repeatedly. the first was on november 3, 2020, one week outside of the warranty. the second door lock actuator failed today (feb 5, 2021). this is a significant safety issue as the doors cannot be opened from either the inside or out because they fail in the "locked" position. if there were a fire or other accident, the occupants would be trapped inside, resulting in a fatality. the latch mechanism won't unlock from either the physical mechanical toggle or remote signal. this occurs then the vehicle is stationary. this is a huge safety concern discussed on numerous online hyundai forums. we are all wondering why 1) hyundai has not issued a safety recall 2) why the nhtsa has not stepped in and required hyundai to issue a safety recall. not being able to exit or enter a car during an emergency is a huge risk to all, especially children, the elderly, and handicapped persons. i can't think of a greater safety issue than being trapped in your vehicle. please intervene! thank you. erik spedale https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/tucson/2016/body-problems.php https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t57988_ds1084478

Our vehicle has started using a lot of oil around 80,000. we now need to add a quart of oil about every 1000 miles. the front driver's side window switch will occasionally not work. we had the rear passenger door lock replaced because if stopped working.

Sometimes car does not want to accelerate completely after making a complete stop. it makes over 5 seconds sometimes to start accelerating. which is quite scary when pulling into traffic. when pressing on the gas, the car will slightly move (maybe 5mph) then get stuck in that gear for a lack of better words. making you stuck in oncoming traffic sometimes.

Tl* the contact's mother owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while his mother was attempting to open the rear passenger door, it failed to open. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

In september 2020 we were advised by hyundai not to park our vehicle in our garage or near a building due too a fire hazard. it is now mid-january and they still have not come up with a fix for this problem. see https://autoservice.hyundaiusa.com/campaignhome/campaign/index and attached.

The door latches for the driver's door and all 3 passenger doors have failed. in the case of the rear passenger doors (both driver and passenger side) this has made it impossible to open them from eirher the inside or the outside. in the case of the front passenger side door, the ability to open the door from the outside has become inconsistent and irregular; often, the door handle must be pulled mulriple times for rhe door to open. finally, in the case of the driver's door, the door cannot be open from the outside once the door has been locked and subsequently unlocked, meaning that if i lock my car, the only way to enter it is through the front passenger door, itself an unreliable method. currently, i cannot exit from the rear seats at all, nor can i rely on the front doors to continue to open from the inside based on the current behavior. all 4 of the dooe latches began exibiting these failures within a few weeks of each other

While a passenger was attempting to exit from the driver side rear of the vehicle, the latch was non-operational and they were unable to exit using the internal latch. child safety mechanism was not engaged. the exterior latch also didn't function. the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position. this made exiting from or retrieving a child almost impossible during any emergency situation. the door latch needed to be replaced. after checking owners' forums, it seems that this is a common dangerous failure for this type of vehicle.

The driver side rear door will not open at all, from the inside or outside. this happened outside of the 60,000 mile warranty period, so hyundai refused to voluntarily fix the issue. the latching mechanism should not be worn down so quickly, within 4 years of manufacture. this is a serious safety concern, as potentially all car doors could fail, leaving passengers stuck inside in the event of an emergency. i have emailed and called hyundai usa and notified them of the issue, but have yet to receive a reply.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine with the check engine warning light illuminated. due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle initially towed to the residence where an independent mechanic informed her that the engine ceased. the contact had the vehicle towed to bob rohrman's indy hyundai (7101 e washington st, indianapolis, in 46219) and was diagnosed with engine failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The pasanger side door and rear left door will not open from the inside. the car is stationary. we have had the car for only 6 months bought used 42,305 miles on it.

My doors have stopped opening from the inside or outside. the problem first started with my rear driver's side door (last year- has not opened since) and now has happened with the front passenger door (started last summer 2020). child lock is not on, no obstruction, have tried locking and unlocking several times. the car is stationary, in park. at first if i use a little force and push the door it sometimes will let it open, but eventually this stops working and the door is totally sealed shut. from what i have seen this appears to be an issue for many hyundai owners and there is no real fix. this is a safety issue- if there is an accident or my passengers need to get out of the vehicle quickly, they are quite literally trapped in the vehicle. i'm worried it's only a matter of time before this occurs with my driver door as well. this needs to be a safety recall and is absolutely not normal wear and tear.

In my 2016 hyundai tuscon the rear passenger door will not open from the inside or outside. it locks and unlocks via keyless entry, indoor lock/unlock button and key fob unlock/lock button, however the door does not physically open. it spontaneous occurred when trying to get into my car. this is a huge safely concern if someone needed to leave my car in an emergency situation. upon research this appears to be a chronic problem with a massive amount of 2016 models, some having issues with multiple doors. it appears to be an issue with the lock actuator that was installed is most of the 2016-2017 tuscons. hyundai is not willing to acknowledgement that it is a safety concern that needs to be a recall on all of these models.

When the unit is in drive or reverse in any driveway the tracking lights turns on unexpectedly and blocks the brakes and is impossible to be moved.

The rear back doors will not open from the outside, creating a safety issue for the children/people sitting in the back seat. hyundai refuses to take responsibility for this iissue and wants to charge over $1,000 with labor to fix it. i purchased the car certified preowned in 2018.

The incident occurred to me while i was 7 hours from home. i was stopped at a stop sign on a curve in the road. when clear, i accelerated and as i turned and merged into the road, the car started making a loud knocking noise and lost power as i was going up hill. right before i lost all power, the oil light flashed briefly and the engine light came on. i restarted the car and again heard a loud knocking noise but was able to pull over to the side of the road. as soon as i slowed and stopped it died again. i ended up getting towed to the hyundai dealer. the next day i called and they let me know i had "thrown a rod and had bearing damage". they said i need a new engine and quoted me $12,800. i have provided all service records to them which prove that i have maintained the vehicle with oil changes and major services done at hyundai as well as valvoline. their initial offer to me was they would cover 50% of the repair. my service advisor countered them with 90% and their final offer was to cover 60% and no rental - even being 7 hours from home. before this incident occurred, i have not been able to open my rear passenger door in months due to needing a new actuator. i also let them know that i believed there was electrical issues because my tail light was always going out even after being replaced. i was dismissed and told that i had a faulty bulb. same day after getting replaced, i was again getting that "check brake light" message. i believe there is a recall that i do not qualify for for this issue. after much research, i have found engine failure is a major problem with hyundai with many people on their 2nd and 3rd engines, including 2 people in my own family. i am extremely disappointed in the way hyundai is handling this situation and i will no longer be a hyundai customer. please let me know if i can provide any further information. thank you!

While i was driving on the expressway, my seat came forward bringing me to the steering wheel. now when i drive i am always adjusting my seat because it still move forward on its own.

Once locked and then unlocked, the rear passenger door is unable to be opened from the inside or the outside of the car. this is due to failing door lock actuator. this prevents passengers from exiting the car and is a major safety concern. the same door lock actuator is on all doors and is a known issues with hyundai.

I purchased my vehicle used, from a car dealership; therefore, it had been serviced prior to purchase. within two months of purchase the rear driver side door quit operating. the car was parked without the engine running when the door refused to open from the inside or the outside. i checked my warranty. it was still in effect but i was over the mileage requirement so the dealership would not cover the repair. (i commute to work) six months later, the rear passenger door ceased to operate. i transported a disabled individual to the doctor's office. the door worked when i left for the doctor's as i placed a walker in the back. the engine was running at the time. when i returned from the doctor, i parked, switched the engine off, and the door would not open from the inside or the outside. the disabled individual with me could not walk without the assistance of the walker. i could not get the walker out. i had to go borrow a walker, bring to the individual to be able to remove him from the car. this is very unsafe. currently, the front passenger door is beginning to be difficult to open. it sometimes takes three attempts to open the door. i am afraid it will stop working as well. at this point i am driving an suv that can only safely transport two individuals and i am afraid that it won't be long before only one person can ride in it. my true fear is what happens when the driver door stops working? i have researched for a recall and their isn't one despite the fact their are numerous online complaints. i have not repaired the issue as i don't have the money it would take and from the complaints i have read it will only happen again. please investigate this issue before someone is trapped in a car and hurt.

Was driving on the highway going approximately 70 mph and all of a sudden i hear a loud rattling noise and lights on the dash show up car starts smoking and loses power i was unable to start the car after that and had to wait on the side off a busy highway for 3 hours waiting on a tow truck.. fast forward to the mechanic and they discovered that my engine fell apart internally with no root cause...engine only had 73,000...that was on the friday after thanksgiving. fast forward to now and i still don't have my car with no known time frame of when i'll get my car back(it's now 1/12/2021). my car has been regularly maintained with all recommended maintenance. my engine was the 2.0 4 cylinder again with only 73,000 miles

I called hyundai on south boulevard this morning and spoke to a tech who told me that the recall rememdy is not available yet. this is scary. he did mention that i can rent a venhicle and hyundai would reimburse me, but i live on social security and cannot afford a rental. this is unacceptable

I bought a brand new 2016 tucson from the dealership. after two years the front driver and passenger door handles didn't work properly. i have to pull the handles 4-5 times before the door will open. i took it to the dealer and was given an astronomical price to fix it. i am the only person who drives my car. there should be no reason why these handles are malfunctioning like this. then last month the back door on the drivers side will not open at all. this is ridiculous! this is dangerous. if i had someone in the back seat and an emergency happens they would not be able to get out. i can't be the only customer having this issue. is there something you can do about this? this car was paid in full. i've already paid enough for this car. i should not have to pay for malfunctioning dangerous door handles. what can i do?

Door lock actuator on 3 of 4 doors has failed. this means that the door cannot open from inside our outside of the vehicle. the vehicle was stationary, i parked and when i returned, i could not open the doors (in all 3 instances). front passenger and both rear doors. rear doors failed within a week of each other and all three instances of failure have occurred within a year (front in january, rear in october). i contacted hyundai about the problem when it occurred with the rear doors, concerned that this could be dangerous (i.e. people trapped in cars in the event of an emergency). the hyundai representative i talked with agreed that it was a huge safety risk/issue, but unfortunately they could do nothing about it without the direction of the nhtsa (such as a recall of the door lock actuator).

Rear passage side door will bot open from inside or the out. called hyundai nothing was done.

The rear passenger door will not unlock regardless of how or when it is tried. the dealer says the door actuator is faulty. no one can enter or exit the vehicle from that side, even in an emergency. this problem appears in hundreds of posts about this model of hyundai tuscon. only a dealer can repair and replace the problem at a cost of $1600. no recall has been issued for this.

At lower speeds the transmission causes the vehicle to lurch. sometimes goes through 6 gears before reaching 30 mph. inconsistent response to gas pedal at slower speeds. difficulty when starting out from stopped position, or slower speeds. shifting does not always occur at consistent rpm. have check w/dealer are told that transmission is working according to spec.

The rear driver side door will not open from the inside or outside of the car. the lock does click back and forth but the door remains stuck. this is a major safety issue for anyone traveling in the backseat of the car as they would be trapped in the car and unable to exit from that side of the vehicle.

The transmission at starting from a stop has hesitation and skips when slowing down. the car has no open recall for the transmission. it has been fixed or updated from the 2016 recall. this needs to be addressed and truly fixed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact attempted to unlock the driver’s and passenger’s side front doors however, the doors failed to unlock. additionally, the rear passenger’s side door was inoperable and unable to unlock. the contact took the vehicle to hyundai of las vegas (7150 w sahara ave, las vegas, nv 89117) and had the driver’s and passenger’s side front doors repaired. the contact returned later to have the rear passenger’s side door lock repaired and was informed that there was a cost for the repair. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 44,000.

Mileage is at 63k and my front passenger and rear driver side door will not open. the rear passenger will not open from inside or outside. the front passenger will take 5 tries to open and will open.

The vehicle hesitates when you step on the gas and when you're sitting on a hill for a long period of time in traffic to transmission overheats and almost stalls the car

Both rear doors will not open and have been unable to utilize for 1 year now. no damage to vehicle and no issues prior to onset. unable to open form inside and outside. driver door is starting to not open inconsistently now for the past week. serious safety issue for my family.

A rear door lock is 'frozen" in a locked position. it rejects physical and electronic attempts to open. it remains when engine is off or on. it is not locked by child protection. it clearly is a danger to occupants in case of an accident fire. a web search for hyundai tucson 2016 (and some similar) door locks shows this is not uncommon. neither the door nor lock nor handle have been damaged. there is no company recall or offer for dealers to repair.

The driver side door won't unlock to open. this is creating a safety issue for my children.

Estava com minha familia a caminho da fisioterapia quando comecou a pegar fogo no carro na parte da frente! a sorte foi que uma oficina que estava perto me mim tinha extintor e me ajudou a apagar o fogo!

Vehicle brake lights not working bulb is not blown light will come on when light housing is out. doors stuck will not open window off track

When pulling out of parking area, or starting up from a complete stop at a light or stop sign, when i press the gas of the vehicle , it hesitates . it almost seems like it’s going to cut out, or bogs downs, and then catches. i make sure if there is an oncoming vehicle coming , i don’t pull out in fear this will happen , and i’ll get hit by another car. this happens everytime it’s driven

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while attempting to open the driver’s side rear door, the door failed to open automatically by the keyfob or manually by the door. the contact mentioned that both passenger’s side doors failed to open a year later. the contact stated that the only way to get out the vehicle was from the front driver’s door. the dealer was not notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact to go to the dealer for assistance. the approximate failure mileage was 108,000.

The back passenger door has stopped opening. it will not open from the inside or outside. the driver door and the passenger door will also not open from the outside unless the handle has been pulled multiple times. evidently this is a problem happening to lots of 2016 hyundai tucson drivers. doors are the most basic thing that should be expected to work. this vehicle has never been in an accident. there’s no reason for them to stop working. the car is stationary and can be on or off when this happens.

The rear driver's side door latch failed suddenly and without warning on my daughter's 2016 hyundai tucson. the door could not be opened from the inside or outside of the vehicle. not being able to open the car door could have led to so many health and safety issues depending on the situation. please imagine if the driver’s door failed during a vehicle fire, a submerged situation, a car crash, etc. think of the possibilities of your child driver being trapped in the car during a situation like i just mentioned. as you can expect, i’m very disappointed in the defect and i’m shocked there is no recall or free repair available for this serious safety issue. i’ve purchased this vehicle based on the excellent ratings of quality and safety. from what i understand, each of the door latches could subsequently fail as well as the new latch recently installed. this is unacceptable. i’m nearly 60 years old and have owned over a dozen cars in my life. this is the very first failed door latch i’ve had and have ever heard of.

After parking the car, i went around to the rear passenger side to get one of my children out of the carseat when the door wouldn't open. child locks were not engaged but the door wouldn't open from the inside or outside of the car. after using the keyless entry and inside driver side switches to unlock the car numerous times, the door wouldn't open. the other 3 doors were unlocking and locking just fine. this is a huge safety concern as my 8 month old was located in the rear passenger seat.

Rear driver door will not unlock either from the inside or the outside. you can hear the remaining doors lock and unlock but not the rear driver. i transport my grand children and this is a safety issue. the cars has 16k miles on it and is still under warranty. dealer said it will take about 1 to 2 weeks to get the part in. i was told that this has happened to alot of the hyundai tucsons.

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson which has a 120k on it and i thought i might have needed a tune which i got performed. but it turns out that the engine has compression failure on cylinders 2 and 3. the oil was changed regularly so i'm not sure what happen. since i was driving home and the vehicle started stalling.

I’m having trouble with the driver and passenger side doors to where they are hard to open. i unlock the doors and i have to pull the door latch several times so they can open.

The vehicle accelerates suddenly without driver input. also, it turns off while driving, causing the loss of brake and steering controls. finally, transmission gear switch without input while driving. this situations occur while driving in both city and highway driving. the vehicle was taken to dealer on 12/26/19; no response has been received either from dealer or manuifacturer.

I was driving my vehicle down my street when the engine died. right before it died, i heard a brushing noise and then all the lights illuminated on the dash. there were no other warning noises or lights prior to engine failure. i checked the oil dipstick and there was no oil registering on it. the smear that was on the stick was black. the check engine or low oil light never came on to warn me of a potential problem. there is also no oil on my driveway which would indicate a slow leak. it was towed to the dealer where they told my the engine was dead and i needed a new one. this is not covered under the 10yr./100,000 mile powertrain warranty since i bought this (a year ago) from a friend who was the original owner. it has approximately 89,000 miles on it now. i'm thankful i was in my neighborhood when the engine failed and not on the interstate where i had been moments prior to this incident. it is still at the dealership where i have been quoted $7-9k for an engine replacement. they have offered $2,800 for a trade-in towards another vehicle as an option.

Rear passenger doors won’t open from inside or outside door handles. this started intermittently then ultimately trapped passengers in the rear seats of the vehicle. nothing worked to release the doors, causing passengers to have crawl through front seats to exit the vehicle. investigating of any recalls we found that this is wide spread over several years, and charges range from $400 to $2k. when clearly this is defective components or design, used in and for locking system, fair expectation that occupants can exit the vehicle in the case of an emergency. hyundai service considers this a malfunctioning part and not covered by warranty or by age of the vehicle. the doors locking actuators are malfunctioning there is no option to manually open the doors, again causing a person to be trapped in the vehicle. people are reporting from 1 door to all 4 doors failing to open. our car the rear doors do not open. hyundai should take responsibility to fix this defective part/design and not at the car owners expense.

I purchased a hyundai tucson in sepember of 2016 new. i noticed right away that i could not see very well at night. the headlights are aimed at the ground 2-3 car lengths in front of the bumper. with the high beams on you can see the definite line between light and dark approx 4-5 car lengths in front of the bumper. when cars are approaching on an undivided road, the visibility is reduced even more from the glare of the oncoming lights. i have had 2 close calls where i almost hit a pedestrian walking on the edge of the road with dark clothes on. i have taken the vehicle to autofair hyundai in manchester, nh on two occasions to have the headlights adjusted to correct the problem. i quote the response,"customer would like us to adjust the headlights, states he can not see at night, can see if we can adjust them, misc per state law we cannot adjust the headlights above where they are currently. 6686 isp" the insurance institute for highway safety's evaluations says "manufacturers aren't paying enough attention to the actual on-road performance of the basic equipment,we're optimistic that improvements will come quickly now that we've given automakers something to strive for." for 2017, vehicles will need good or acceptable headlights in order to qualify for the institute's highest award, top safety pick+.that's real nice of them. what happens to my 2016 model? i want my vehicle recalled and repaired. why should i have to wait and be forced to buy a 2017 model in order to have a safe car at night?

Complete loss of power/acceleration from taking off. almost causing severe wreck. has happened multiple times. dct transmission issue and has been serviced/updated 3 times. transmission also hesitates on take off and in upper gears. very scary and unsafe

Transmission shudders and sometimes fails to engage when stopping and accelerating. on highway when moving to pass the rpm's went to redline and vehicle did not want to move forward. overheating warnings in city traffic. vehicle loses power sometimes when transmission is confused when in stop and go traffic. dct in this vehicle is horrible even with 3rd update from hyundai. hyundai says "no problem" with vehicle. *tr

Under cold conditions, the rear hood does not close. the vehicle was stationary at the time. this has happened when temperatures go below zero. when temperatures go into the 30's f, it starts working again. it's a safety issue as i have had to drive my car with the rear hood open at below freezing temperatures.

The car jerks when starting from a stop. it feels like someone is tapping and releasing the brake. the problem is worse when starting from a stop going uphill.

I have a 2016 tuscon turbo limited which i purchased in august of 2015. i have had these issues since i owned the vehicle. the suv dual transmission does not go in gear when you do a rolling stop (under 4-0 mpr) or full stop. two things happen when you accelerate, not pumping the gas pedal as hyundai states, either the suv rpm shoot up to over 3k rpm's and it does not go into gear or you hear a loud metal grinding sound while the suv coast forwards. since this happen intermittently it is a serious safety problem. this happen is a city environment. i have had these issues since i purchased the suv in august 2015. my hyundai has the 2 software and 1 recall updates upto december 2016

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the recall notice for nhtsa campaign number: 16v348000(structure: body) was received in june of 2016. after contacting the dealer and the manufacturer on multiple occasions, the contact was informed that the parts needed for the recall remedy were still not available and no estimated time for receiving the parts could be provided. the contact had not experienced a failure. parts distribution disconnect. *tr

To whom it may concern: update 1/4/2017: unfortunately, the issues that i have had with my vehicle have still not been corrected. as of today, the hyundai tucson that i signed for still has some type of dysfunctional dual clutch/transmission. the car was brought in to pugi hyundai (downers grove, il) and i specifically stated these concerns and that i would like the vehicle inspected for this issue. when i picked up the vehicle i was told that the issue had been addressed - it was not. again, i brought the vehicle in to pugi hyundai for the same issue in november of 2016 to address the same issues. once again, i was told that everything checked out and was ok. unfortunately, the clutch/transmission issue has become worse. now, when giving the car gas the engine will make a revving noise and will not move. then the vehicle will jerk and speed up quickly. i called pugi hyundai today and spoke with [xxx] (the service manager) about this issue. he told me that i never brought the vehicle in for these specific issues (this is untrue and was never documented by pugi hyundai) and could not have an engineer take a look at the vehicle until i had gone through the basic protocols. 1. it would be great if hyundai could have my account notated properly for the dates of 8/27/2016 and november of 2016 that i did bring the vehicle in to have it inspected for clutch/transmission issues. 2. to also have a hyundai engineer take a look at my vehicle. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

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

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.

Dual clutch transmission recall: i have had issues with my tucson a week after purchase (july 2016). it's a brand new vehicle. i have had problems with shifting, accelerating, and have taken my vehicle in to be looked at several times. the hyundai dealer in iowa said there's nothing they can do. there was a recall on the issues i have been having with my vehicle but no fix. it's the dct (dual clutch transmission) recall; i received this in the mail a month or two after purchasing my vehicle. the only solution there is to "fix" this extremely unsafe problem is an update! hyundai said that i would need to continue to bring it in as long as i'm having these issues to update. this is a band-aid. there is no permanent fix and i feel extremely unsafe driving this vehicle. when merging onto the interstate, i can't accelerate and have almost been in many accidents due to lack of power and acceleration from the dct. this happens not only when merging onto the interstate, but also in rural areas like the highway, main city streets, and neighborhoods. this happens every day from a stop or when trying to accelerate from a slow speed. i have a family, and the whole reason for this purchase was because of the safety features; there is nothing safe about this vehicle. i was sold a defunct car and am extremely upset that hyundai sold me this vehicle when there was a recall in the making. *tr

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

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.

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.

I do oil change regularly but, november of 2020, while driving in the city to work, engine light came on, so i took it to my mechanic, he diagnosed that it was cylinder that failed, so i called the hyundai dealer to make appointment for service, but, after checking my vehicle, i was told that my vehicle would not be covered under manufacturers warranty. it had 77,000 miles on it and i was told that manufacturers warranty only covers up to 60,000 miles. i wonder if that's true.

Driving car on highway when suddenly warning lights turned on and car seized. was able to make it to the side of the highway. had car towed to my house and the next day to the dealer to be informed that the engine had seized. vehicle is still under manufacture warranty waiting on warranty to approve the engine.

My tuscon has qt this moment 36,960 miles i purchased it back in june/july my rear passenger doors open when they feel like it as of right now i can't get one of them to open at all. and the gas guage hasn't functioned since i got the vehicle. after looking online i see that a lot of people have had the same issue with the doors. this is a real nuisance as i have a child and need to be able to open the doors to get to him without fail.

When you put the vechicle in reversel sometimes it will not move then you have to put it back in park and try it againand it will move

The driver's side rear door will not open from inside or outside the vehicle. does not open at all when in motion or stationary.

The rear passenger door will not open. the lock clicks and the door sounds as if it is locking and unlocking, but the door itself doesn't actually open. the vehicle was parked in a parking lot when this issue was discovered. i've tried opening the door while the vehicle was on and off.

Since day one i have trouble whit the transmission , they reset it like 15 times and every now and then the dual clutch act crazy, today the reverse wont engage and drives super slow, i complain every single time to the dealer but they just refuse to do fix the transmission , , they said that they will reset the transmission every time that goes wrong , but what if pass the warranty ? its normal to have such a bad or a defective transmission /or dual clutch issue?

Windows get stock up or dow car is park and running this issue happing tree time in less of one year first the driver side them the rear passenger and now the front passenger. sterling wheel has a clocking noise took to the dealer they say they fix the problem but still making noise this is went the car is in motion special when made turns

My vehicle died while i was driving it on october 31, 2020, i had it towed to the dealer where i purchased it and have it serviced. it took two weeks for hyundai to approve the engine repair. hyundai and the dealer didn't see a need to provide me with a replacement vehicle until november 14, 2929 and there are limited uses of the dealer loaner vehicle. i am making payments on a vehicle that i do not have use of and neither the dealership nor hyundai understand the impact of this situation which is no fault of mine. the dealership says it will take a long time to build a new engine for my vehicle and then install it. they have a backlog of engine and transmission failures currently. why was there not a recall? i am also concerned that the transmission will fail after my warranty expires at 105,000 miles.

My doors have been not being able to open from the inside or out. this is the 2nd time this has happened and they say it's because the door latch is bad. this is a total safety issue, because if i were to get into an accident and my only way out was the door i would be locked in and potentially die. the fact this has been an issue for people for over a year and still not a recall and for it to happen to me twice is ridiculous. my dad is a first responder and says that this isn't a recall is unacceptable. and the fact that the only way it will be a recall is for someone to die in the accident and for them to sue hyundai to be a recall is ridiculous. please consider the door latch issue to be a recall you can see all the other complaints online by typing in google. my door will randomly just stop opening one day once you close and you cannot open it from the inside or the outside. this has now happened on both rear doors.

The door lock actuator is failing and doesn’t always function resulting in the door being un-openable. when actuated, the door unlock button on the key fob sounds as if the lock is opened, but when i pull on the handle, the door will not open. after multiple attempts at pulling on the handle, the door will open. this is impacting my left passenger door. after looking on the internet, this appears to be a widespread issue with this vehicle.

The back door on the passenger side will not open. the lock is working, but the door will not open. the child locks are not on. i have read many complaints from other owners regarding this same issue.

Brake light (left side) does not work.rear door drivets side will not open.both happened in the city

The headlights turn off and on on their own when it is set to auto. i have worked with hyundai, and engineering has confirmed that they have had several cases where the sensor malfunctions and turned the headlights off and on. it is incredibly dangerous as this happens at night and during the day.

The motor in the doors blow (according to the information i received from hyundai a couple years ago.) when this happens, the passengers are locked in the car without any way of being able to get out. the door will not open from the inside or the outside of the car. these parts were replaced while the car was under warranty. this has happened again with the same vehicle and now will not be covered since it is no longer under warranty. this is a safety hazard that traps the passengers in the car.

While driving on october 31st our car starting making a loud knocking sound but the engine light did not come on so we thought maybe something got stuck on the bottom but nothing was there. on nov 1st the oil light came on so we went to get the oil changed. on the way the check engine light came on and shortly after the knocking sound got worse. when the sound got worse the car would no longer accelerate no matter how hard i pressed the peddle. we assumed it was the battery and got a replacement but the issue didn't go away. i was able to coast to a place for an oil change but after that the problem was even worse. i was on the highway with my kids in the car when the car completely gave out, it would no longer start. when i turned the key you can hear the engine wanting to turn on bit it never does. i had it towed to a mechanic the same day and he was able to look at it today (nov 1st). he said the motor was completely shot and the car was unusable. we are about 1200 over the warranty so the dealship will not help us. there was no previous warning that anything was wrong with the car and it was extremely dangerous for the car to give out on the highway without notice. now we are stuck with the expense while hyu youndai does nothing about checking the check engine light. after reading other complaints that are way too similar to mine, this needs to be looked into.

I bought my car in 2017 with roughly 33000 miles on it. it now has roughly 89000 on it. i first had problems with the driver side window not working. bought a motor had it replaced. now my driverside door opens sometimes, you have to pull handle 3 or 4 times to open it. driver side rear door won't open from inside or outside at all. why is there no recall on this?this is a safety issue to the max! i am 57and can't be climbing over seats or consoles to get out! i also can't afford these kinds of repairs. i am paying 400 a month for a death trap! no one can ride with me because they wouldn't be able to get out of the car unless they crossed over seats! please help with this. i am not the only one having trouble with this issue either.

Having turned onto the subdivision street towards our house, my husband noticed a chemical smell. he rolled down the car window and the smell was more intense, so he assumed it was coming from the outside .after about 1/4 mile drive, he attempted to turn right onto the street towards our house, but had trouble with the steering. at that point the window stated to fog up. there were no warning lights on the dash. however he decided to pull the car to the side and out of the street and onto an empty lot. there were popping sounds and he saw sparks coming from the hood. he managed to get out of the car just in time to escape the ensuing flames. luckily, he was not driving on a busy street or highway!. there was no warning re the fire and the car was well maintained so what was the reason?

The rear passenger doors left and right do not open. the doors are unlocked and they both will not open. you have to pull the handle more than 30 times for the doors to open. it’s not safe and my child has been stuck in the car waiting for me to get her out.

First the back brake light on the driver's side went out and i tried several bulbs put in but they didn't work. next the driverd door would not open from thr outside after thr unlock button was pushed. then the airbags went out. last week my engine went out while i was driving.

Back passenger door will not open from the inside or outside and the window will only roll up or down using the switch on the door and not the master switch on the driver door. presents a safety hazard for any back seat passenger. it was working on minute and then completely quit with the windowdown.

The vehicle hesitate while you are in line on a fast food or when you are in a stop and go traffic jam, when you left the brake pedal. several times when you press the gas pedal, the vehicle do not move, it take several seconds to move.

According to hyundai (and several others in various online forums), there is a known door latch issue that affects 2015 and newer hyundai tucsons and possibly other hyundai models. our 2016 hyundai tucson rear driver’s side door will not open from the inside or outside and the front driver’s side door will only open from the inside. this poses a major safety concern due to the fact that if the passenger’s side was to become damaged or blocked, it would be nearly impossible to 1. escape the vehicle, or 2. save someone in the backseat during an emergency- specifically children in car seats, people with disabilities or elderly who require assistance. if this is a known issue, and later affects the passenger’s side, one could potentially have to break a window just to exit the vehicle. this issue puts drivers and passengers in imminent danger, not to mention the stress, frustration and fear of not being able to open your car door to remove a child from a car seat or loved one into their wheel chair. this is unacceptable for any vehicle, especially one that is only 3.5 years old. hyundai’s unwillingness to repair this problem for anything less than $1000 because the vehicle has too many miles is outrageous. this has nothing to do with mileage- it is a safety concern needing an immediate recall. being locked/trapped inside a vehicle is never okay.

Passenger left door would not open form either i side or outside. i see online that many other hyundai owners experience the same problem.

Issue with front passenger and rear passenger doors - they will not open from the outside or inside due to an issue with the latch inside the door. this can be extremely dangerous and could even result in a fatality if you were in an accident. imagine if the car was on fire and neither you nor ems could get you out! i have two small children and if i needed to get them out of the car quickly due to a medical emergency, i wouldn’t be able to do so. this should seriously be looked into as a recall and anyone who’s had to pay for this to be repaired should be reimbursed. this is a huge safety issue and should be covered by the dealership/manufacturer

My driver side rear door does not open. i have seen a hyundai dealer and it was not covered under my warranty by 2 weeks. (i did have an appointment in september but couldn’t get to the dealer.)i have not been driving the. at to much with the covid 19 disease. the door hasn’t opened in couple of months. i feel this is a safety issue and should be fixed by hyundai. i have read other people’s same problem.

For a few days prior to the incident, the car hesitated slightly from a dead stop while we accelerated. there were no warning lights from the car indicating any issue. because it seemed odd, we made a appointment to take the car to the dealership to look into the issue. while waiting for our appointment on july 12th, 2020, merging onto the interstate, there was a failure of the transmission, such that the engine would just spin with no power going to the wheels at higher rpm's. feathering the throttle, a speed of about 45 mph could be attained on flat ground and significantly slower on hills. after limping it along to a local shop, were were told that the catalytic converter was clogged, causing it to overheat the torque converter, which had failed sending shrapnel through the transmission. they only knew this because they had to take the car apart, since even after the failure, no warning lights came on. we ended up needing a full transmission rebuild, a new torque converter and a new catalytic converter. this is a huge safety issue, especially since there was no indication from the cars warning systems that anything was wrong, even after the transmission failure. this could have lead to a very serious accident on the interstate.

Rear driver's side door will not unlock or open manually. this is a huge safety risk.

My passenger drivers side door will not open or unlock. i took to the hyundai dealer prime hyundai in plymouth ands wasn told my door acuator was bent???????if the door was hardly usedn and not in an accident that means the part was always bentbb. the dealer wants $460.00 to replace. i had previous appts. to have repaired and couldn't make them. i am not under warranty by 14 days.. i feel this is a safety issue, and why wasnt it under warranty.

My driver's side passenger door will no longer open from neither the outside or inside. this is very dangerous as i have two children in carseats who ride in the back. this has also been a extreme inconvenience as i have to climb over one child to buckle in the other. we were told this will cost an upwards of $1000 to fix, but this indeed a safety issue that needs to be recalled and fixed asap.

When starting from a full stop the car hesitates for 3 to 5 seconds before moving; making it unreliable and dangerous to pull out. when driving slowly in traffic or in a parking lot the car becomes very jerky as if running out of gas. this has happened since the day we bought it. took it into the dealer ship to be checked out they test drove it and checked it out and said it is working the way that it should.we have lost our confidence in this car and feel that this is a safety issue.this is not acceptable,

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.

There is a stress crack in the windshield. we noticed it in the month of september. the windshield has not been replaced and the crack came out of no where. it is completely smooth inside and out. the windshield replacement companies i have called usually say this is due to incorrect installation of a windshield.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while his daughter was attempting to open the rear driver’s side door, the door failed to open. the driver called the local dealer atlantic hyundai located at 193 sunrise hwy north service rd, west islip, ny 11795, (631) 587-0700, to notify the dealer of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with nhtsa campaign number: 16v348000 (latches/locks/linkages) however, the vin was not included. the manufacturer had not been informed of failure. the failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Bought car and drivers back door does not open. faulty hardware.windows have issues too.

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.

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.

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, mayagÜez, 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.

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.

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.

The right rear door will not open from the inside or the outside. i have two small children who ride in the back seat on each side of the car. in the case of an accident or a car fire the rear passenger door will not open which could trap the children inside and makes it impossible for rescue workers to open the door from the outside as well. if i am in an accident with damage to the driver's side of the car rendering that door inoperable the children will have no way to evacuate the vehicle. in case of a fire, both children will have to evacuate from the same door, delaying the escape for one of the children who will have to cross the car and exit the other side. this is a severe safety issue as the children do not have an accessible exit in an emergency and those precious moments required to use an alternative exit could result in severe injury or death for one of the children. i have taken the vehicle in to have this issue repaired and the part is on back order further delaying the repair and putting the children at risk even longer. the part on back order indicates this is a common problem in this vehicle and this safety issue should be a recall.

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.

My vehicle is exhibiting issues with power. my car has stop on the hwy and has clanking noise when it gets close to 4000rpm. it’s slow to speed up and sometimes stays at 50mph no matter how long my foot is on the accelerator. i’ve taken it in to get looked and even had a tune up and it’s the same issue. in reverse it’s fine but going forward that’s when you can feel and hear the problems. this is a safety hazard and i don’t have $5000 for a new transmission. my mechanic says it’s internal issue with the power train. it needs to be recalled!

The car doesnt go when you step on the gas, pulling out in traffic is dangerous. the problem exasturbated when the cars 1st 15 minutes of running. and anytime i go from a complete stop for longer than 30 seconds, there is little momentum, whether i'm turning or going forward. i have to use the 7 speed manual to ensure safety pulling out into cross traffic, the results could be deadly. the car has been brought in several times, but route 60 hyundai, vero beach is rude! getting a loaner for this recall was horrific the 1st time, and they wouldn't give me a vehicle the 2nd, 3rd or 4th time. #2 the doors and windows, the passenger front door and the passenger rear door, do not open from the inside or out, as well as the passenger window no longer operates, god forbid there is an accident, there is no escape. this vehicle has had 4 recalls, 1 being the transmission issue. this vehicle gets scarier every day, and i am disabled already. i dont want to die in this vehicle.

It started making load knocking noises and lost power while driving on the highway

2016 hyundai tuscon with 143k lost engine 3-4q of oil in less than 1,000 miles to the point engine almost seized. no sensors for check engine and check oil lights ever came on. this could’ve been a safety issue if not detected if the engine seized in operation with no warning. the manufacture refuses to assist in the repair and the engine will have to be replaced at owners expense

I have one door handle (back passenger side) that has broken off, one door handle (front drivers) starting to fail where i have to pull it 2 times to open the door. also, the front 2 windows will no longer roll down and the back passenger window will not roll up. i am unable to fix the back passenger side window due to the broken door handle that has completely made the door inoperable from inside or out and is extremely unsafe as a passenger in the back seat can not exit through that door.

Rear driver door lock has failed. door will not open from inside or outside of vehicle. safety issue in case of an accident, rear passenger can't exit. if trapped behind driver seat.

The front passenger door does not open from the outside. it unlocks and can be opened from the inside. once opened from the inside after being unlocked, you can close it and re-open again from the outside leading me to believe this is an electronic issue, not a hardware issue with the latch. after researching it seems this is a consistent problem with hyundai. having all doors work is certainly an safety issue. this happens while in park with the vehicle on or off.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that all four doors failed to open and close without several attempts. additionally, the rear passenger's side window was inoperable. the engine splash cover detached from vehicle. the clean front radar message was displayed, and there was an abnormally loud noise detected from the muffler. there were no warning lights illuminated. the vehicle was taken to woodhouse hyundai of omaha (8410 s 145th st, omaha, ne 68138, (402) 592-1007) where the vehicle was diagnosed and the contact was informed that the door actuators needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted however, no further assistance was provided. the failure mileage was 80,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated the front and rear passenger’s side door latches were defective. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed or repaired. neither the dealer nor the manufacturer were informed of failure. the failure mileage was 94,000.

Rear passenger door will not open. it is unlocked and the child safety locks are not engaged. no amount of pushing from inside nor pulling from outside will move the door. this happened after the car had been sitting in the driveway for 3 days without being driven. there have been no impacts, etc. to the vehicle whatsover. we went out to go for a drive and could not open the door for my toddler to get in.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while driving 70 mph, she heard an abnormal popping and grinding sound coming from the engine. the oil light warning light became illuminated on the instrument panel. despite the vehicle losing power, the contact was able to drive the vehicle to her residence. due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where they diagnosed the vehicle with engine failure. the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. the vehicle had yet to be repaired. the failure mileage was 109,904.

Not long after i got the car i began experiencing issues with acceleration. my car would be very slow to respond when i put my foot on the accelerator, which could have led to numerous collisions (for example, there have been times where i’m turning left and need to go before oncoming traffic reaches me but the car hesitates to move. this hesitation is also often evident when i’m trying to speed up and merge onto the highway). i ended up emailing hyundai usa in march of 2017 to inform them of my acceleration issues. i was surprised to receive an email and a phone call back, and was hopeful they would provide some answers that would help fix the issue, but in the end, the response i received was basically “what do you want us to do about it?” i am now experiencing additional problems with the car. after the car has been parked for a little while it will jerk and shudder as i press on the accelerator. it will also do this after accelerating from a complete stop.

My right side rear door, and passenger door handles both stopped working and will not open the door. my car door will not budge from the inside nor outside no matter how much force i put into it. this is a safety hazard as i have two young children in car seats, if i ever had to get them out in an emergency i’d have to get them out through the window! this is not a cheap fix, and i see it is a very common problem among owners of this same model. please why has this not been recalled yet

Both the passenger side and driver side rear doors won't open from either inside or outside. no child lock is on, and the lock/unlock button works fine, but nothing happens when i pull the door handle from outside or inside. i have my children sitting in the rear seats and it is a critical safety issue, being unable to open the door from either side. i found that this is a known issue to this particular year model 2016 hyundai tucson, and there are many consumer complaints for this problem. also, in korea, the original country of hyundai, the national consumer report agency announced, in december 2019, of this issue and requested hyundai motors to correct this problem and hyundai has accepted to repair this known issue to the consumers. hyundai has failed to implement this fix in us and it is a very big expense that the customer has to bear for a safety issue. upon investigation i found that the rear door-lock latch actuator assembly is the problem component that has some sort of cheap plastic causing the issue and the entire assembly needs to be replaced. i have uploaded the pictures of the latch assembly that requires a replacement.

I have a 2016 tucson sport with 62000 miles on it. i've been having issues with the ac blowing hot air on and off for a few months.. i took it to a hyundai dealership and they replaced a defective compressor, the torque limiter had internally sheared due to binding. now 4.5 months later it's blowing hot air again. i've also had to have the electrical system fixed, the steering column, housing, and mdps module assembly replaced as well.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tuscon. the contact stated that while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle had experienced jerking and vibration. the failure mainly occurred from a standing start. additionally, while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would not immediately accelerate when pressing the accelerator pedal. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (king hyundai located at 1399 s federal hwy, deerfield beach, fl 33441) who performed a software upgrade but the failures continued to occur. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,200.

I went to get my 1 yr old out of his car seat last night and the rear passenger door wouldn't open from the outside or the inside. it was unlocked. i've read multiple complaints so this is a known issue and a huge safety concern if there was an emergency and i had to get him out quickly. i had to crawl in the back seat and drag my 30 lb 1 year old out up over his car seat and through the middle of the car out the driver's side passenger door.

All four of my windows have stopped working. the motor part works b/c i can hear it...the window just doesn't go up or down. it's likely off the tracks. i can understand one but all four.....seriously all four windows do not work. all this happened coicidentally jsut as i hit the 65,000 mile mark with the exception of hte driver side that i was able to get under warranty. if there is a recall needed it's for the windows!

The right rear passenger door will not open after being locked and unlocked. if you tap firmly on the outside of the door with the car unlocked, the door will open and close just fine until the doors are locked again. i've done lots of online research and there seems to be many hyundai owners with this problem. this is a major safety concern and should be addressed.

The driver and back passenger door handles both just jammed one day, the driver window switch shorts out, dash lights will flash on and off randomly, the dealership has already replaced the transmission and the engine has been ticking for months and the dealership says its due to low oil and refused to look into it. now its to the point of total engine failure.... please help me i havnt even had it for 2 years yet

Power windows fail to operate,left turn signal fails to engage, brake light out indicator shows light out when its not.dealer notified and problem resolved but re occurs

In a short amount of time, 3 of my 4 doors open unreliably and one will not open at all. it started with the front passenger side door. you always must pull the handle 2 to 4 times to get it to open. it seemed only an inconvenience, and it was quoted as very expensive to fix, so i just ignored it. then a few months later, the same thing happened to my front driver's side door. it alwas takes 2 to 4 attempts at pulling the handle to open. again, i chalked it up to an inconvenience, but it was starting to become very concerning. the reason i write is that now (just weeks after the second door's reliability issue started), my rear right passenger side door will not open, no matter how many attempts you make. the two front doors do open on the first attempt from the inside as they should. however, the rear right passenger door will never open from the inside or the outside. this is not a child lock issue as i've never used them. it simply stopped working. the door is useless. this is a very dangerous situation if someone in the back seat needed to get out of the car in a hurry. i researched online to see if others have this problem, and it appears to be quite common on hyundai tucsons - i saw many people describing the exact same problem. the dealership is asking anywhere from $400 to $1000 to fix each door! as this is a safety issue, i feel that it strongly warrants consideration for a recall thank you for looking into this matter.

The vehicle i purchase at the dealership is loosing or flashing oil. in 3 months time, give or take, oil is low low and the car hesitate to on take off until oil pressure increases.

Windows do not open. this is a safety concern in the case passengers need to evacuate the vehicle through the windows.

Right (passenger) rear door will not open from the inside or outside of the vehicle even if the door is unlocked. the door lock is functional, but the latch does not disengage when the door handle is pulled. this is a safety concern if rear passengers need to exit in an emergency.

Rear door behind driver side, does not open when unlocked from inside or outside the car

My front passenger side door would only open from the outside after 3+ pulls on the handle. now the rear passenger door will not open from the inside or the outside. lock still engages and disengages, but door will not open. this compromises the safety of my rear passengers.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the front passenger’s, rear passenger’s and rear driver’s side doors were unable to be opened from the inside. the contact took the vehicle to beaverton hyundai (13255 sw farmington rd, beaverton, or 97005) where they discovered that the mechanism that engaged the locks had worn, which had caused the failure. the contact was given an estimate for the repair. the manufacturer had been notified of the failure and filed a claim. the contact's claim was denied due to the mileage on her vehicle. the vehicle had yet to be repaired. the failure mileage was 92,000.

When at a complete stop, vehicle studders and has a hard time picking up speed (rpm goes high). when trying enter into traffic it’s very dangerous because vehicle doesn’t pick up speed.

While driving on the parkway my called stalled. i was driving 60 mph in the left lane when all of a sudden the car started stalling and i was unable to accelerate. my car was coasting at this point due to lack of acceleration. i interrupted the flow of traffic and had to go from the far left lane to right shoulder of the road. i turned the car off and started it again to no avail. i started the car again and then i was able to accelerate. 10 minutes from home the stalling started again, i got off the main highway, pulled onto a side street and pulled head into a parking spot and turned the car off. i restarted the car, put it into reverse but the car wouldn't move when i hit the accelerator. i turned the car off and restarted and then i was able to reverse the car. as i pulled into my garage the stalling started again, i went to back my car into my garage spot i was unable to accelerate the car into reverse. i cut the car of and restarted and i was able to reverse my car into my spot. the next day (7/20/20) i made an appointment with the dealership for service.i took the car to the dealership for service on 7/21/20 and they performed vigorous road tests, scanned for codes no codes present, car was left to idle for 20 minutes and still no issues at this time. the dealership had the car from 7/21-7/23/20. i am afraid to drive the car , especially with it stalling on the parkway which is a major safety issue for myself, my current passenger(s) and other drivers on the road. i'm thankful the car behind me wasn't tailgating or he would have slammed into me.

Rear passenger door will not open using inside or outside handle eventhough it is in the unlocked position . locking and unlocking switch inside vehicle intermittently working. truck handle sometimes won’t open trunk.

This is the 2 time this happens the 1st times was the back door we still had warranty we got that fixed not its the driver side it does not unlock we have to go into the passenger side to unlock the driver side. if someone is following me how an i going to get into my car! this is a hazardous safety issue.

The rear passenger door will not open using either the inside or outside door handle. the lock toggle and door handle still move but do not work.

Our tucson shifted down as we pulled into an intersection and would not move more than 5 mph. we were nearly struck by a tractor-trailer. this is the third serious incident involving the transmission in this vehicle. we will not drive it until hyundai replaces the transmission.

Both rear doors do not open from the inside or outside when unlocked. child safety lock is not on.

A few months ago, my drivers side window stopped going up randomly one day. the motor was replaced under my extended warranty. all of a sudden this weekend, the right passenger's side window quit working too. i brought it in for service, and they tested all of the windows and the back right window is also not working. the dealership service department manager said that he sees every single tuscon have all four window motors fail at some point- he replaced four vehicles window motors today alone! my car is a 2016, this should not be happening to every single window like clockwork. there needs to be a recall on these window motors, and they should be covered if they fail after the warranty is up, because this is a manufacturing issue, not the results of wear and tear. it is dangerous to not have control of windows in all weather conditions, and for the safety of your vehicle leaving it parked anywhere with the inability to lock it up.

This vehicle is equipped with a dual clutch transmission. on several occasions (about twice a month, in various types of driving conditions), when attempting to accelerate from a slow roll or a complete stop, the engine has revved freely and the vehicle did not move forward, despite being in drive. this obviously creates an incredibly unsafe condition, since the loss of propulsion happens entirely without warning and can result in a collision. hyundai is aware of issues with dual clutch transmissions in 2016 and other model year vehicles, and has issued a tsb to address problematic units (tsb # 19-at-002h). despite the fact that my vehicle consistently and predictably exhibits symptoms identified in the diagnostic portion of that tsb (judder when coasting from a stop), my local hyundai dealer has consulted with hyundai corporate and concluded that the transmission is performing as designed. they were not able to replicate the loss of propulsion that i described. no repair prescribed by the tsb was performed.

Both back doors will not open from the outside or the inside. they will lock and unlock, but will not open. according to the forums, this is a common problem among this year of hyundai cars.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that after coming to a complete stop, the vehicle hesitated to move forward while depressing the accelerator, without warning. the vehicle was previously taken to manly hyundai (2755 corby ave, santa rosa, ca 95407) where an unknown software update was performed on vehicle however, the failure persisted. the contact linked the failure to nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 5,000. the vin was unavailable.

The driver side rear door won't open from either inside or outside. no child lock is on, and the lock/unlock button works fine, but nothing happens when i pull the door handle from outside or inside. i have my child sitting in the rear seat and it is a critical safety issue, being unable to open the door from either side. i found that this is a known issue to this particular year model 2016 hyundai tucson, and there are many consumer complaints for this problem. also, in korea, the original country of hyundai, the national consumer report agency announced, in december 2019, of this issue and requested hyundai motors to correct this problem and hyundai has accepted to repair this known issue to the consumers. hyundai has sent out a letter to the owner of the affected vehicles, tucson, manufactured between may 2015 to december 2016, (106,726 cars) to repair and replace the door latch 4ea at no cost. it is the same model and this needs to be done as soon as possible also for the consumers in the usa and it needs to be on the recall list. please take look at this issue seriously and take necessary action to hyundai motors usa. below is the link in korean about door latch recall on 2016 tucson vehicles, published in december 2019. https://www.consumer.go.kr/user/ftc/consumer/cnsmrbbs/730/selectinfoinjrydetail.do?infoid=a1078075&cntntsid=00000882 http://www.consumerdata.co.kr/news/articleview.html?idxno=4704. *tr

While driving in motion on city street, west bound ,people were yelling at me... wasn't sure what was going on...i roll down my window to hear them yelling " your car is on fire" so i pull off road in to a parking lot...stop and open door as fire rushing in as i'm "literally" having to jump out ! trying to put fire out with fire extinguisher ,but did not work...maybe 10 mins later ,fire department arrives and puts it out

Got this car at the dealership in july last year. a few weeks before this happened you would notice a hesitation from the car to move forward when you press the gas pedal whiles driving on the road. the engine began to make loud knocking noises one morning and broke down while driving on the street. got it towed to a hyundai service shop and they are talking about making a "goodwill" repair which will end up costing $4800. i have read many complaints noted from the 2016 tucson owners who experienced the same issues with their cars. this is obviously a manufacturing defect. the vehicle has been recalled before for a tucson secondary hood latch recall campaign.

The rear trailing arm was broken. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while the vehicle was stopped, the passenger’s side front door failed to unlock while attempting to exit the vehicle. the contact was unable to unlock the vehicle from inside of the vehicle. the contact also stated that the rear passenger’s side door ceased in the locked position. the vehicle was taken to ed voyles hyundai located at 2135 cobb pkwy se, smyrna, ga 30080 where the contact was provided an estimate for the repairs and diagnostic fee. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer had not been informed of failure. the failure mileage was approximately 111,000.

My car keeps having issues with acceleration. it struggles to manually shift gears when i try to go to 40 mph. i fear for my safety especially getting into highways since i struggle to keep up with traffic upon entering. i have taken it to the dealer already and problem persists. *tr

The transmission is not changing gears, dragging. the left tail light has gone out like 3 times in 2 years. i see a recall on transmissions on tucson my year model but when i enter the vin it says no active recalls not sure what to do? *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tuscon. the contact stated that while driving the vehicle suddenly stalled and smoke was present coming from under the hood. after opening the hood flames were discovered coming from the engine compartment. the fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. a fire report was taken at the scene and the vehicle towed to the home. the cause of the fire was not determined. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. in addition, the rear driver side door latch was inoperable. the failure mileage was 95,000.

About a week ago the rear passenger door occasionally began to remain locked once the vehicle was parked and shut off, instead of unlocking automatically. now, this happens multiple times a day and the rear driver side door has started to do the same. i have 2 small children that are both in car seats and i am concerned that i will not be able to get them out of the car. especially with the weather getting warmer. *tr

Rear door lock is intermittently unlocking door. door cannot be opened from inside or outside the vehicle. this has been reported by many owners and hyundai is saying normal wear and tear for the door after taking the vehicle to have it evaluated by the dealership. *tr

About a year ago, my front passenger side door started malfunctioning when trying to open it. i have to pull the handle 2-3 times before the door will successfully open. two days ago, my rear passenger door won’t open at all from the inside or outside. this is a huge safety concern as i babysit my 3 and 8 year old niece and nephew frequently. i’ve noticed on forums that this is a common thing and i feel as though it should be a recall as it is a safety issue. *tr

I'm the owner of a 2016 hyundai santa fe that the engine started knocking and when i opened the hood car was on fire i looked like a movie car blow up bursting glass everywhere i almost died if i didn't stop to look at it. *tr

Driver door suddenly stopped opening. there is no way to enter the vehicle using the driver door. the car was unlocked using the key fob and locks were not a factor. 2 days later the rear passenger door suddenly will not open from the inside or the outside. child safety lock was not in use and the car was unlocked using the key fob. there is no way for a person to enter or exit the vehicle through that door. vehicle was parked. this is clearly a safety issue because in an emergency riders would be unable to exit the vehicle and could become trapped inside. the driver also needs to be able to quickly enter the vehicle. hyundai dealer identified failed latch assembly as the problem. *tr

Hyundai tucson was being driven along us 290 in brenham texas when the check engine light came on. driver pulled over and tried to restart. suv would not restart. vehicle was towed to hyundai dealer who said the engine was perforated and "blown" and needed to be replaced. *** more information dealer says engine is perforated. this should be covered as it is a manufacture defect as detailed at consumer reports. https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hyundai/tucson/2016/reliability/ full maintenance has been performed at hyundai dealerships in albuquerque, new mexico, for the past three years. my niece, [xxx] , was driving suv in brenham texas when the check engine lights came on. she pulled off us 290 and had the vehicle towed to hyundai of brenham where the mechanic diagonosed it as a perforated engine that needs to be replaced. hyundai or brenham service: 979-337-8447 parts: 979-277-7580 1710 highway 290 wbrenham, tx 77833 i have also talked to hyundai usa via phone and filled another case with more details hyundai case #[xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Rear driver side door will not open. the problem began about 2 years ago and after further investigation online it appears to be a common problem. i believe the actuator is not functioning properly. the door is shut and there is not way to open it without unhinging the door and going to the dealership. this is obviously a defect and not from a result of wear and tear.

My back doors started to not open intermittently. and now neither of them will open. this is a major safety problem as i have grandchildren in carseats in the backseat and if anything were to happen i would not be able to get them out. i did some research and found that this is a known issue.

Hi. i reported the cruise control malfunctioning to two different hyundai dealers, service dept. the problem varies from not be able to set the speed, to not being able to lower the speed, to not responding to cancel, because cruise control will not work properly . all actions are by using the control toggles on the steering wheel console. it is an intermittent problem, as some times it works fine, and for other drives it won't engage at all, or will not disengage the speed when hitting cancel. i can tap the brake to slow speed, which can alarm a driver behind my lane and cause an accident behind me. the service staff can not get the cruise control to duplicate on a vehicle test drives. so with that, they say they can not replace the steering linkage, or any part because they can not prove it is faulty. i explained how it is not safe, especially on a highway with naturally higher speeds to consider. with five reports of the faulty cruise control on file, at different hyundai service centers, the unsafe problem still exists in the tuscon 2016 suv. i have paperwork showing reported safety concerns sept 18, 2018, mar 27, 2019, june 3, 2019, august 15, 2019, oct 16, 2019. plus a personal video of pushing and toggling the controls without cruise response.that is over a year of the reporting the malfunctioning speed control. it is unsafe with no solution.

Tucson stored in garage. left after 8am to go to work. after approx 10-15 min on the road it sounded like a bomb exploded above my head and i could hear the bits of glass hitting the headliner/sun visor as i slowed down and carefully drove with my hazards on. i was going straight on the 202 freeway headed west to i-10 with no exits until i-10 & ray rd. i had been going approx. 65mph when this happened with no warning. i thought someone might have tossed something off the kyrene overpass, but pretty sure i was too far away at that time. interior a/c was set to 74 with the fan on level 2. checked the temp at the dealership and it was reading 81. i do have pictures, however they are too large to attach.

The vehicle door locks cease to function properly leading to both the interior and exterior door handles failing to unlatch the door. this causes the doors to fail to be able to be opened. this could potentially be fatal in an accident situation. currently both the left rear door and front right door latches do not work. i cannot open either of those two doors. this is a well documented issue with hyundai door latches. a safety recall needs to be issued.

Rear drivers side door and front passenger door not opening when you unlock remotely or manually properly. sometimes it will open but most times is will. it could be a death trap if someone is stuck on that side of car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle hesitated. the contact stated that there was a temporary hesitation and then the vehicle would lunge forward and then return to operating as intended. williams hyundai located at (2845 e saginaw st, lansing, mi 48912 517-484-1341) was contacted and informed of the failure. the contact was informed that the hesitation was normal due to the dual clutch that was installed in the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was contacted and informed of the failure. there was no additional assistance provided. the approximate failure mileage was 35,000.*dt

Drivers side passenger door will not open when unlocked electronically or manually.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear passenger door latch failed. the contact was unable to unlock the door from the outside or inside the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 50,000.

In my case all three doors were locked and could not open in stationary, in motion, on a city street or highway, turning or off. it started with driver's door not opening from outside 1st and when i unlocked using my car key it wouldn't open. i had to open the door from passenger side in order to get to the driver’s side. then both back passenger left and right doors would not open from inside or outside. this created major concern and safety issue since i couldn't have anyone sitting in the back since no one could get in or get out. i took my car to dealership and since my car had 62,000 miles it was not covered under the hyundai warranty. they replaced the driver door lock actuator for $392 in 12/13/2019. one month later in 1/13/2020 i started having the same problem with back right passenger door and one week later in 1/18/20 i had the same problem with back left passenger door. this time both back doors were locked from inside and outside so no one was able to get in or out. i took my car to aamco and they had to remove the doors trim & seals to get doors open and replaced both door lock actuators for $862.79. this has never happened with my other cars and it is a major safety concern when you are locked inside the car and can’t get out. there has been many complaints online regarding the door lock actuators not functioning and requiring replacement. i’m hoping nhtsa can address this safety concern and ask hyundai to recall and replace the parts. i know soon i will have the same problem with my trunk door and front right door. greatly appreciate your help in this matter. the parts are poor quality and not designed to last and this creates safety concern.

My 2016 hyundai tucson eco dct has a dangerous random "shudder/hesitation" safety problem that needs to be resolved.*dt a "shudder / hesitation" randomly occurs at slower speeds. i've brought up my concern each time i have had my vehicle in for regularly scheduled service. i have only 28000 miles on it. the mechanics report that "it didn't occur for them, or show-up on their computer, so they say they can't do anything about it". i've explained each time that it occurs randomly, and mostly at slow speed when slowly coming to a stop, when parking pulling in or out of a space or driveway, at stop signs either slowly stopping, or proceeding forward at a light or intersection, and sometimes when trying to turn into the flow of traffic. i am positive that hyundai is very aware of what the problem is with the 2016 tucson eco dct. i recently received a letter from hyundai referring to a 'proposed class action settlement', but it was expired already ! i mentioned there were over 300 complaints of a similar "shudder / hesitation" on one web site alone! this is a dangerous problem that could result in a rear end or intersection collision because of the "shudder / hesitation" that occurs randomly. i have passenger witnesses as well. there is definately a dangerous safety defect causing a "shudder" in the 2016 tucson eco dct that needs to be resolved. i was given a hyundai complaint dept. number to call, and i reported the problem. the claim administrator seemed quite aware of similar complaints. he gave me a claim number, and said he would call me back monday, to 'set up another service appointment', and "arrange for a specialist" to be there. i received a call on wednesday, and was now informed "there was nothing more he could do", and he was "closing out my case number, and suggested i just bring it to the dealer again", and re-file a new claim# !

As i was pulling onto highway from a complete stop, the car paused and revved engine and then kicked into gear and went. this is a safety hazard, as there were other vehicle driving towards me, and the car would not go for a few seconds.

Back doors will no open after they are locked even when unlocked they will not open if kids in back you can’t open doors to get kids out of car seat this is a problem that other people are having with this car it’s a big safety issue if you needed to get access to the back seat of the car it’s impossible this is a ongoing issue sometimes they open and it’s times may go days before you can get them to open

My driver side door has already been replaced once for the button becoming defective and it stopped working again within a month of it being fixed. my back passenger door has also stopped working. even though it is unlocked, it will not open from the inside or the out, as id it is still locked.

Coming from a stop or very low speeds, i press on the gas pedal and the car doesn't move. sometimes it actually slows down. when it does engage, the car will lurch forward at a higher speed. this has happened multiple times. other 2016 tucsons are under recall for this issue. they need to expand the recall. this has happened on multiple dates and times, so the issue is ongoing.

The passenger back door will not open from the inside or out.

Slow or no exceleration from stop slow transmission shift power loss knocking noise on front vibration continous service engine light low turbo boost this have been continous and several attempts have been made by hyundai with negative results

Passenger side front door does not open when handled is pulled - have to pull it multiple times. rear passenger side rear door does not open at all from the exterior or the interior.

Hello, i bought a used 2016 hyundai tucson eco less then a month ago from autonation that had only 40,000 miles on it. within 2 weeks of buying the vehicle, the check engine turned on for a p259f trouble code for a turbocharger position sensor that i had got from using autonation’s vehicle app. naturally , i called autonation to have my car fixed, but the engine light had gone off before i brought my in vehicle in for repairs. when i did bring my vehicle in to the dealership, they confirmed that there was a check engine light on from my turbo, but that it had gone off and that the car was functioning normally, and to go to a hyundai dealership for a special diagnostic if the issue consisted. on the same day of getting my car back, i started noticing engine performance issues, my acceleration would be affected by 1 to 2 seconds where the car would not go, and when it would finally notice the throttle it would jump kick the car. also the worst of all, it also cut out at one point where it did not want to give any sort of throttle at all, i needed to have my foot all the way down on the pedal to just go 30 mph. during that time i noticed that the engine would be revving high while no speed was being gained, and no check engine lights where going off either. because of that, i was almost involved in an accident where i could not accelerate out of an intersection when making a turn. what makes me believe this is the turbo electrical problem, is that the way i got my car to accelerate normally is that i parked it and restarted it, after that it started accelerating normally, but at times the acceleration would still be affected.

Passenger brake ligh repeatedly goes out, hyundai dealership has admitted it is a recurring issue arising from subpar parts with known quality problems. occurs randomly; stationary, in motion. vehicle primarily used for city driving.

I’m the original owner of a 2016 tucson. here are all the symptoms and issues with this vehicle: dealer recommended replacing the catalytic converter dec 2019 and i had the part replaced. had an oil change on 1-26-2020 and the next week on 2-2-2020 the engine was tapping, checked the oil and discovered no oil in the engine. the low oil indicator light never came on. the car continues to burn oil. mechanics checked car again and no leaks was discovered. and still unable to determine why this car is burning oil. mechanic is recommending a new engine. also, the car will not accelerate accurately and hesitates at about 45 mph. there is a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. the dealership says that does cause any problems but the part can be replaced. the drivers door sticks have to pull on the door handle 2-3 times before the door opens. major engine issues,

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that while his wife was driving at 45 mph, there was an abnormal odor coming from the engine. without warning the engine ceased. the contact was able to safely guide the vehicle off of the roadway. the contact turned the vehicle off and was unable to restart the vehicle. triple -a was contacted and towed the vehicle to (freehold hyundai 4065 u.s. 9, freehold township, nj 07728 (732) 625-1200) where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to any recalls. the failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

2016 hyundai tucson eco: vehicle was stationary and i noticed the air bag indicator is illuminated. i removed keys from ignition and re-started with same results. not sure if it's a module or a defective restraint system.

This issue recur after the first incident that made us go back and forth to the dealership 3yrs ago. hyundai of seattle should have a full record of this issue. recently then, our car shows similar issues. the car is slow to accelerate from stop to go. does not pick up accelerations when you step on the gas. on inclined or climb, engine has a hard time and seems to shake a bit then steady itself after 2 mins as you step in the gas to keep it in motion

In summer of 2019 i noticed left rear passenger window stopped functioning. a few months later, right passenger door started not opening from the outside. fast forward 3 months later, driver wide window stopped functioning and now a few short weeks later the left rear passenger door will no longer open from the outside. i have tried operating the windows that aren't working while the vehicle was stationary and also while moving. the doors obviously have only been attempted to be open while stationary and in park. i believe this to be a possible electrical issue? but i also believe this is a major safety concern and not normal wear and tear. *ln consumer stated she now has 3 doors and 2 windows that are not working properly. dealership has been contacted. *jb

The transmittion fail and doing a hits in low velocity other sting is when i take a up hills and stop the suv, it go back quickly and is very dangerous, because the suv can,t hold in stand by until star the trip

I reported to my local hyundai dealer (flemington nj) of clicking sound coming from the steering column. the dealer says the steering joint shaft is loose and cannot be adjusted. part number is 56400-d3000. looking online, i see this is a common issue with other owners. this needs the attention of hyundai; if the shaft fails, driver may loose total control of vehicle. this service is not covered under warranty after 50,000 miles. thanks. mike

The rear passenger door will not open from either inside or out. there is no damage to door or vehicle, this started randomly over an year and finally won't open. i took it to the dealer and they said its out of warranty by 1,000 miles and it will cost over $500 to be fixed. they recommend cutting the door handle off to gain access. i believe this is a safety issue and should be look into, there are many tucson owners of several hyundai forums having the same issue.

On dec 17, 2019 at the intersection of pineville matthews rd and 485 in pineville n.c.at approx 5:00 pm turning lft on to 485 i was nearly t boned at the intersection due the dual clutch transmission not engaging in 1st gear and then lunging forward when it did.this is the third time this has happened since i have owned the vehicle.the suv now has 40,000 miles on it. i have taken the car to the dealership each time. were they will not document what i ask them to document and only record an evasive statement of driving concerns.and tell me in the end we did reset the control module but were not able to replicate your concern. the transmission also shutters at times while in gear. dealership keffer hyundat matthews n.c.

My car was making a low, rumbling noise when i accelerated. it started getting louder and as i pulled off the highway, the check engine light came on, my vehicle lost power and smoke started coming from the hood of my car. when i got out of my car and walked away from it, i could see a fire had started under the car around the engine. my car was quickly engulfed in flames as i waited for emergency services to respond. as a result, my vehicle was totaled and i lost all of my personal belongings in my car

My rear passenger door won't open. it's not locked, and i've put as much force on it as i think i can without breaking the handle and it won't open. this seems like a pretty common problem with tucson's and with hyundai's in general. vehicle was stationary.

P0455 check engine code

The driver side brake lights are failing intermittently. however the bulbs are still working. when i switch the brake lights between the left and the right, the problem still remains on the left side. however the problem goes away and all the brake lights are working for a while. i have not figured out a pattern to how long they work to how long they don't work. there is no problem with the switch since 2 out of 3 lights are always working. it is not a light bulb problem because the failure did not follow the bulb after switching them.

The doors at times will not open, power windows will not go down. vehicle hesitates when driving. when unlocking doors with remote, doors lock back on their own.

While stopped at a stop sign i let off the brake and hit the gas and the car did not want to move it seemed like it was in neutral and once it starts moving the car starts jerking and slips from 1 to 2nd gear. same thing has happened at traffic lights, and merging into traffic. after taking it to the dealer and reprogramming the computer it will still do it. the car has 56k miles on it and it seems to be doing it more often now. i really didn't think anyone else had this issue, but after reading up on it, it seems to be a common issue on the 1.6 turbo tucson. also the rear brake lights seem to stop working and all of a sudden just work as if anything was wrong. this has happened a few times as well. i'm afraid we're are going to get into an accident because of this.

Car usually bogs down when starting out from a stop. like it isnt getting any fuel. my car is a turbo and the dealership says its normal for turbos. bull!

This evening me and my fiancÉ were driving 45mph down hill on a straight road to get christmas gifts, and all of a sudden out of no where the engine just died/stalled (no warning/dashboard lights). thank god we were able to coast into a gas station and get off the road safely. the car wouldn't even turn over, so my fiancÉ checked the oil and it was low. the car doesn't leak oil and we do oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously. we carry extra oil in case an oil warning light appears so we added oil to correct fill level. to no luck the car still wouldn't turn over. as it is saturday night and tomorrow being sunday we have to wait till monday morning to get the car to a hyundai dealer to be assessed by them. hopefully they will come to the conclusion that the car burns oil out of no where and that the cars oil warning/pressure light is malfunctioning/faulty. in finding that i am hoping the dealer will honor my warranty and replace my engine.

The vehicle is well maintained and the last oil change at 52,000 miles had no warning lights and the tech said there was no oil. it was just about 5,000 miles since last oil change. search shows this is a far too common problem.

2016 hyundai tucson does not accelerate or reverse does not accelerate when in motion, does not reverse

The engine is burning oil, there are no leaks and no dashboard warning lights. on 12/5/19, mechanic found a dry dip stick and removed less than 1 quart oil from the engine and examined for leaks. oil changes are in regular 5,000-6,000 intervals using synthetic 5w30 oil and this issue was not found at the last oil change on 4/11/19. oil was checked on 12/8/19 and the oil below is already below full.

Recently bought 2016 hyundai tucson limited and the car has 29,000 miles on it. when in traffic and remove my foot from the brake the car with shake as it is about to stall out and then finally kick in and start moving forward normally. i've tried to pull out into traffic and had the car stall for a second before going forward. i don't feel safe pulling out unless i have enough time for the other car to stop just in case the car does stall out. i was told by the deal that the good news is the car is supposed to act like this. dealers seem to know about this issue but since the computer doesn't throw up a flag they don't do anything about it.

The power tailgate will open when the vehicle is in a grocery parking lot. the date reported is the most recent occasion. it has happened several more times previously. only once did it happen when the car was in our driveway. i disabled the liftgate/tailgate

First my driver's side rear door got to sticking at 60, 500 mile and now my front passenger side door doing the same thing. my taillight says it's not work and it be working and vis versus, as if there's a shortage. now the steep hill lights come on along with the car traction light. it's doing it more now than ever. having to restart my vehicle everytime now to reset it. it doing it at red light and while i'm driving all on it own. my biggest fear is my doors sticking and the dealership in tupelo ms told me i will have to pay for a diagnostic and to me i feel i should not have to because that dealing with my safety. there have not be any thing done to either door for the to be that way on my behalf.

Hyundai tucson 2016. i have change the windows mechanical 3 times. once the car is on the windows gets down and wont work until.you change the part that puts it up. the white round piece in the middle gets stripped

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated, quivered, and sometimes stalled while coming out of a turn and changing lanes. the failure also occurred while accelerating from a stop. the vehicle was previously taken to murdock hyundai (4646 s. state st, murray, ut) where the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 15,000.

The problem occurred when the vehicle was parked; the doors automatically unlocked when i put the vehicle in park but when the passengers tried to leave through the rear driver's side door it would not open from inside. i tried opening the handle from outside thinking it was child locks but the door would not open that way either. both handles move but nothing happens, and i have made sure the lock is fully unlocked. mechanic says it is power lock actuator. there is no way for me to open this door without specific tools. nothing has hit the door inside or outside.

I cannot accelerate into traffic. there is a hesitation in the accelerator. sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it chugs first then goes. i have trouble merging and getting into traffic. it is unreliable from a stationary to movement.

Rear passenger door failure to open from either inside or outside. vehicle diagnosed faulty door actuator and repaired at dealer for 500.00. four months later the front passenger door will not open from outside showing exact same symptoms as previous door. vehicle is only 3 years old.

Every day my car stutters as i begin my day to work. it lags in acceleration at least one to three times a day. it has happened when i accelerate in rush hour, trying to go after a light turns green, or speeding up just in general. i have kids in my car constantly because of my job and i can recall two times that i’ve almost been hit because my car didn’t do as i needed it to. it has freaked me out and i wonder if i’m going to get stuck one day, it sputters and i don’t feel like my ride home is guaranteed. i always thought it was just a turbo thing, because i’ve never owned a car with turbo but now i’m realizing other people have this issue and it has nothing to do with me or my driving. it happens on the freeway, it happens on the city street and it happens pulling out of my driveway. this has happened since i’ve owned the car and i’m sad to say i’ve thought it was just my make and model this whole time.

The door latches randomly stop working and passengers cannot enter or exit vehicle. started with my rear door so i had the door lock actuator replaced and now the problem is happening to the front doors. i have friends with the same vehicle same year and are having the same issues with all the doors. this could be very dangerous at the wrong time.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not immediately respond and then suddenly accelerated/lunged forward. the vehicle would also shudder and vibrate while driving at very low speeds. also, on occasion, the engine and rpms would rev very high while depressing the accelerator pedal; however, the speed would not increase, which made it very difficult while passing other vehicles. the vehicle was taken to prestige hyundai (768 e. chester st, kingston, ny), but the cause of the failures could not duplicated. the dealer stated that the vehicle operated normally. the manufacturer was notified and did not assist. the failure mileage was 50.

Back passenger side door will not open from the inside or outside.

Not long after the purchase of my 2016 tucson, probably when i first started using the ac the first summer i owned it, i started to get some musty smells coming from the vents. this problem has gotten worse each year and changing the cabin air filter doesn't seem to help. i have never had a problem like this with any other car, and i have been driving cars for 40 years. the smell seems to pop up in humid weather when using the ac. i worry that the evaporator coil may be growing mold or microbes.

Even after reprogramming of my 2016 tucson dual clutch transmission (dct), i still worry about the safety of the car. transmission is still herky-jerkey when creeping along in traffic. on a couple of occasions at higher speed (say merging into traffic at 50-70 mph) the transmission has been slow to change gears, and on at least one occasion the transmission temporarily went into a "neutral' state temporarily disconnected from power transfer from the engine. if that were to happen say when crossing traffic it could be very dangerous.

The car stalled(did not accellerate while merging in to traffic for about 3 seconds . this required oncoming traffic to brake to prevent an accident. the speed limit was 40mph on a street circling a mall.this is the third time this problem has occurred owning this car which only has a little over 13800 miles on it i have since checked with the dealership and there are no outstanding recalls for this problem and no solution to this problem. i therefore think there is a safety issue with the dct and engine software/hardware that could lead to an accident.

Trans doesn' work right in first gear does't go in gear right a way i will get rear ended oneday

Vehicle delay to accelerate. rpms go up to 5000 before acceleration kicks in. also lag time from stop to 20 miles per hour in stop-and-go traffic it would lunge forward. also with accelerating on a hill it would roll backwards before going forward capturing gas. i have seen other reports on this vehicle with same issues. it is very unsafe. the vehicle was taken back to the dealership turbo was replaced i'm still waiting for a full report

On or about 8/17/2019, the date and time disappeared from the display. dealership states that it is a hyundai satellite communication error affecting 100 of thousands vehicles. numerous contacts via twitter, facebook and myhyundai website have not been responded too. telephone calls to hyundai customer awareness just repeat that hyundai is aware of the situation but no fix or solution is available. this is a safety issue since not having access to the time requires checking cell phone which in washington state is considered distracted driving and is illegal. since using vehicle for work, knowing the time numerous times during various trips as well kids continually checking the time on cell phones a safety issue has developed and hyundai is ignoring not only the problem but the car owners. not having a working clock may seem trivial, but having to pick up a cell phone to check the current time is dangerous and would be unnecessary if hyundai fixed a feature that came with the car.

When in driving mode car is shaking, very often car would stopped while driving. when i am driving 15 mph and want to accelerate or when i press accelerate pedal car wouldn’t react. reaction is late 3,4 seconds until car starts moving.i have had this problem since the first day we bought the car..our dealer hyundai grosinger didn't want to check if everything was ok with the transmission or engine

This has happened on three occasions, when sitting idle and about to accelerate to turn into traffic, my car has stalled, shook and almost stopped. in one instance my car was in park when i stopped to take something out of my vehicle. upon putting in drive, the engine revved and but did not move the vehicle. two times almost resulted in an accident with my children in the vehicle!! these instances happened this week, dating 8/17/12019 - 8/19/2019 at approx 23,000 miles on the odometer. once in our residential neighborhood, once on a very busy 4 lane highway.

The vehicle stalls while, from a stop, trying to merge into traffic. it seems to be a well known issue with this vehicle and the dealer told me just learn how to drive it. we have almost been hit several times due to this defect and my wife refuses to drive the tucson. hyundai too knows of this issue and has had no recall for this issue. i understand there has also been law suits for the lemon law against this vehicle but, the deep pockets of hyundai’s corporate lawyers always wins out. do people have to become seriously injured or perhaps dead before a recall happens? the date below reflects the last time i was almost hit because the car started to move and then stopped.

Car consistently has trouble accelerating from a full stop; lurches forward and sputters. when in reverse, cannot accelerate to move vehicle. when temperature is above 85 degrees outside, car will not turn on.

I purchased my car brand new. i've had it for 3 years. i'm the only one that drives it. i noticed the driver and front passenger door handles requires numerous pulls, before the door will open. dealer said actuator has to be replaced. how does a brand new car with one driver and hardly any passengers door actuator just break? this has to be a manufacture issue. why should anyone have to pay to have this fixed on a 3 year old vehicle? there should be a recall for this issue on 2016 hyundai tucson.

My daughter has a 2016 hyundai tucson. she has taken it to the dealership a few times because when she steps on the gas it does not wanna go. i’m afraid she is gonna her in an accident with her vehicle not want to move when it is stuck in an intersection. i really feel that they need to look at it and check it again because there is definitely something wrong with it. it always feels like it wants to stall out and just does not want to go anywhere. thank you this has happened more than once it happens every single time she drives her car

Ever since purchase of the vehicle we have experienced hesitation when accelerating from a stop on a city street. this is very dangerous when making an unptotected left turn and the car won't pick up and go. i took it to the dealer and they made some adjustment but i am still having the problem.

On several occasions when depressing the gas pedal, the rpms go up but the vehicle doesn’t move. it has happened from a dead stop, and also when accelerating when already moving, both at low rates of speed and on the interstate.

Both rear door latch assemblies stopped working within 1 week of each other. doors appear to lock and unlock, however they are not able to be opened from the inside or outside regardless of unlocked position. read multiple reports of others experiencing the same issue, yet there is no recall. this is a major safety issue as i have children and clients in my vehicle consistently. i can't imagine the consequences of such an issue had there been an accident and a child was trapped in the back seat of the vehicle. i had to call around to multiple dealerships in order to have my vehicle diagnosed since my local dealership was scheduling appointments a month out. i called and reported the problem to corporate hyundai and it was dismissed without much concern. after paying for what appears to be a manufacturing issue, i'm very disappointed at hyundai's lack of concern over such a safety issue. mileage 66,000. vehicle repaired at dealership.

Purchased 2016 hyundai tucson eco from a used car dealer. carfax reported no open recalls. concerned with hesitation when pressing gas when in a stopped position to moving at stop sign or stoplight . recall 149, but this vin is not showing a recall.

While my vehicle was in motion, driving down a mountain highway at approx. 40 mph the rpm revved up to 5 rpm and would not come down even when coming to a complete stop and putting it into park. i also have constant hesitation with the engine when stopping at a light in town and then moving forward from a complete stop. the car jerks and their is delay to go when pressing the gas pedal after being stopped at a light. the car will at times not go into reverse when trying to back out of a parking space. i have found that when this happens i have to completely put car in park and turn the car off, then restart the car and put it into reverse before i can back it out successfully.

Hesitation up acceleration from stop and rough idle when coming to a stop.

When accelerating from a stop, the vehicle is not responsive yet the rpms increase then making it jump and shudder, it is very difficult to control your speed when accelerating from a stop. additionally, while at slow speeds, the vehicle shudders and bucks. this occurs in any situation where the vehicle is stopped; at stop signs, stoplights, stop and go traffic, while turning, etc..i have had this 2016 vehicle for one week and the did check safety recalls for the vin. there were no unresolved recalls for this vehicle. however, i see that a recall concerning this issue was issued for my same year, make, and model. after doing some research, i have found hundreds of similar reports.

The car when at a stop, you go to press the gas pedal to take off and there is a delay in the car actually acknowledging and taking off to accelerate. it has happened a few times periodically and it is now becoming more frequent

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to depress the accelerator pedal, the vehicle shook. the vehicle was taken to peacock hyundai hilton head (located at 51 auto mall blvd, suite a, hardeeville, sc 29927, (843) 208-1234) where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was working properly. the manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 15950425. the failure mileage was 38,000.

When slowing down the car shakes when i step on break and it shakes when i step on go during driving

The issue i have with my hyundai tucson 2016 1.6 turbo happens on an every other daily basis. i recently started having an issue using the left hand signal/blinker and it not working when turning left or changing to left lane while driving. i had the one-touch turn signal feature on where you tap the signal lever and the turn signal flashes 3, 5, or 7 times then off. while driving (maybe 25 - 30% of the time) when signalling for a left-hand turn using the one touch feature, the signal will not engage at all. when making a left turn, i would fully engage the signal to turn left and then complete the turn, the lever would snap back to neutral but the signal would still blink 3 times then off. i either have to slightly increase the down pressure on the lever or click it off and then back down for it to work. no issues at all signalling to the right. i'm afraid this may cause an accident because of other drivers not aware of me changing lanes and/or turning left. i took it to the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem and suggested i get it on recording somehow. i'm not sure how i can do that when it only happens when i'm driving (not safe to try and record something while driving).

At certain instances, the vehicle won’t move from a complete stop. i step on the accelerator and vehicle is not budging making me worry that the vehicle behind me will hit me. if it moves at all, there is a drag, then it will suddenly lunges forward where i almost hit the vehicle in front of me.

In august 2016 i purchased a 2016 hyundai tucson limited. since day one, while in traffic the vehicle will begin to shudder until near stall. the shuddering occurs when either rolling forward, accelerating the gas, or sitting idle, as a result my car does not respond to acceleration at all times. during my first month of ownership the dealer did a software update which did not fix the problem. this is becoming increasingly dangerous, my wife’s is the primary driver and she is reluctant to drive it for fear that she will be injured in an accident. i have been to the dealership numerous times and get no real answers except that the car checks out fine and they cannot duplicate the issue. they do, however, acknowledge that the problem is a design issue in the transmission. this problem persists no matter what drive mode i am in. i have tried turning off the ac but that has no affect. i had one instance where, while moving from stop to make a left turn in an intersection, the car stumbled and stalled in the intersection and we narrowly missed being hit by the car behind me. we help with transportation for the grandkids and we cannot drive the 10 year old in this car, she gets car sick from the shuddering/hesitation. as a result, we have to substitute another vehicle on the days we drive her.

Driving down highway on june 20,2019 and engine stopped running. ri state police pushed vehicle to the side of the road and the car was towed to the nearest hyundai dealer in ri. as of today, july 23,2019, the vehicle is still at the dealer waiting for a replacement engine. engine is covered under warranty.

Passenger air bag comes on at times. transmission some times will not move the car.

My vehicle stalls to accelerate.when i hit the gas it will stall to move, it's dragging very slow. this is very scary when i'm driving and my suv slows down when other cars are driving fast behind me.

There is an acceleration recall on some of the 2016 tucson's my vin does not show up on there but i'm having the exact problems that they're recalling the car for i go to the dealership and they say that my car is fine but it isn't. i've been stuck in an intersection several times i've had my car make this grinding sound when i apply the gas from a stop and my car is sitting there. others that have driven with me have witness this happened but the dealership hasn't been able to recreate the problem. this happens from a stop example if i'm at a stoplight apply the brakes to go and the car makes a grinding sound or sometimes when i'm going around a corner after a stop it will hesitate and i'll be stuck in the intersection

Rear passenger door will not open when unlocked with either outside handle nor inside handle without jarring door. safety issue due to not being able to get children out of carseat

You randomly get no response when accelerating to move into traffic..like it's not getting any gas, then all of a sudden you can feel transmission going into gear as it finally catches. when in slow, crawling freeway traffic, it's always jerking when barely moving- as a manual transmission does when you don't give it enough gas...first time issues happened when i was making a left hand turn on a 50mph highway against oncoming traffic from a stop. this is not a sound vehicle in my opinion. you never know how long it's going to take to make turns into traffic or just leaving a parking spot..you get the herky-jerky until transmission catches. and it's not all the time, very random. freeway driving is fine so far, which is what most of my commute is. but until reaching freeway speeds, it's always a worrisome drive.

Car doesn’t always accelerate when you push gas peddle.i have to wait to pull into traffic because i am not sure car will go when i hit gas.never know when this will happen. only happens from a stop or going slow.the hyundai dealer said they have a different transmission in the 2019 tucson.i am sure they will not do anything about it unless enough people get hurt or killed.i know two other people with the same vehicle and they have the same problem.

I’ve noticed a lag in pressing on the gas pedal many times, but there have been specific instances where it’s been significant. i was pulling across traffic turning left from a stop, and it felt as though the engine stalled and took about 5 seconds to catch. this also occurs when pulling into my work parking lot that is on a hill, i often get stuck for about 5 seconds before it catches.

Power door locks/door actuators stop working which prevents door from opening from the inside or outside on both rear doors and front passenger door. doors would remain locked after driving making it impossible to get out of vehicle for any passengers.

When accelerating from an idle position, car struggles to shift gears automatically. when making a turn, usually left turn, vehicle stalls and struggles to accelerate making it very dangerous.

I was driving in on a street in a residential area at about 30 mph, when the vehicle turned completely off. i restarted the car with no problem.on 9/10/19 i was driving on a street in a residential area and made left turn and car completely stopped after completing the turn.i was able to restart car with no problem.there were no turns involved in the first incident.

Something is wrong with breaks. it doesn’t fully stopped the car when i press down on the pads. i have to press twice down for the car to stop. driver windows power windows sometimes when i am trying to close the windows it actually goes down.

The right passenger brake light says it is out. within same day or soon after will be working again. i replace the light bulb it stops working the same day or shortly thereafter. sounds like a wire isn’t working properly. it will be working the whole day and suddenly when i push the brake it goes out.

My vehicle stalls when i hit the gas. has trouble switching gears.

Horrible hesitation upon acceleration!!! afraid of having an accident. also, last evening i was stuck in construction traffic and my transmission started overheating!!! a few minutes later the car stopped!! i was on a major road and now caused more of a traffic jam. had to sit there for 10minutes till it cooled enough and the light went off.

3 of the 4 windows won't go up or down.

My 2016 tucson has 58500 miles on it. never had a problem until recently, in stop and go traffic the car bucks and feels like it will stall, that i could deal with however, it also became unreliable when i was taking off from a red light, stop sigh etc. i would step on the gas and the car would not move forward i have lost count how many times it has done this since the end of march. i can tell you i narrowly avoided being hit at least 3 times over the last couple of months. i have brought it into my hyundai dealer and the first time they told me they needed to duplicate what i was telling them. after a few hours i got a call and was told they could not duplicate the issue, so they checked for any diagnostic issues found none so to "keep me happy" they did a dual clutch relearn. i took the car home and really noticed very little difference then within a couple of weeks it started repeating the bucking and not moving forward from a complete stop no matter how far down i pressed the gas pedal. i brought the car back to hyundai and for the last 2 days they say they have not been able to duplicate the problem. i am due to pick up my car from them tomorrow and they will have done nothing even though they know i am a loyal customer and have never had a complaint prior to this, and even though they told me there are known issues with this car and what i am describing. i no longer feel safe driving this car especially with my 8-year-old grandson with me (i drive him every day to specialists).

I purchased my 2016 tucson new in march 2016 it currently has approximately 58,500 miles on it. i have always taken my car to the dealer for all oil changes and regular maintenance requirements. i never had any problems until recently, in stop and go traffic the car bucks and feels like it will stall, more than it used to several months ago. that i could deal with however, it also became unreliable when i was taking off from a red light, stop sign etc. i would step on the gas and the car would not move forward i have lost count how many times it has done this since the end of march. the first time i took my car to key hyundai they told me they needed to duplicate what i was telling them. after a few hours i got a call and was told they could not duplicate the issue, so they checked for any diagnostic issues found none so to "keep me happy" they did a dual clutch relearn. i took the car home and really noticed very little difference. then within a couple of weeks it started repeating the hard bucking and again there were a few times that after i stopped to wait for traffic or a green light i would step on the gas and go nowhere no matter how far down i pressed the gas pedal until all of the sudden it would move forward. i brought the car back to hyundai on may 6, 2019 and for the last 10 days they say they have not been able to duplicate the problem and there is nothing they can do. i am due to pick up my car from them tomorrow and they will have done nothing even though they know i am a loyal customer and have never had a complaint prior to this, and even though they told me there are known issues with this car and what i am describing and that is because when they called hyundai they were told that they must duplicate the issue or no repair. that now leaves my safety in question when driving my car.

The doors will not open from the inside or the outside after you lock the doors. you have to pull the handle anywhere from 5-10 times to get to open or not. i feel this is a safety issue for my passager if the car was involved in a wreck or caught on fire . this is an ongoing problem and the hyundai dealership kwon about the issue.

When i push the acceleration from a complete stop the vehicle will not accelerate. it also jerks when slowing down from gear 2 to 1.this happens a lot on the city street or when in traffic and has almost caused wrecks multiple times. i have taken it to a machanic and they replaced the spark plugs and coils but the vehicle is still doing this and i am unable to drive it in fear of a crash until find out if this is the same recall from other 2016 hyundai tucson transmission electrical system maybe. appreciate your help.

Purchased a 2016 tuscon with 35 miles on it on may 2016. within 3 months my passenger door would not open after being unlocked. this was corrected and had no problems. within the last 2 months of this year, both of my rear doors are having problems, the passenger side buzzes when the lock , the driver side passenger door (which is the big issue) has totally quit opening, it unlocks but will not open from the inside or out. when i told the service man at the hyundai dealership, he said "that they see a lot of tuscons with door issues" and that it will not be cheap. i started looking on the internet and there are people complaining that the doors just stop working and that it is due to bad workmanship on hyundai part. i feel this is a safety issue because if the door does not open and there was a issue that passengers needed to get out in a hurry they could not.

Latching/locking system does not work on the passenger front, and both rear doors. unable to open the back doors from the inside or outside. the passenger front door will open from the inside but must be pulled 3 times to open from the outside. once the door has been opened initially it will close and open without problem. after the lock has been engaged and unlocked again, the door handle on the passenger front must be pulled 3 times in order to open.

The car jumps when moving off from a stop. in some cases the car stops moving ahead and it feels like the car is not in gear. the car then transmission reengages and the car accelerates hopping some times. when you stop again this happens again but at the next stop it might not happen.

Back driver passenger door is not opening from inside or outside. it’s unlocked and don’t seem to have issues with the lock and unlock button. all other doors work. i just used the door earlier today with no issues and never had any issues until this evening. no visual objects to be blocking the door. went online to check for recall and seems many owners are having same issues.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving approximately 65 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. the vehicle was taken to lithia hyundai of fresno (located at 5590 n blackstone ave, fresno, ca 93710, (559) 899-3257) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the ecoshift dual clutch transmission. the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system); however, the failure recurred. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

I had been a problem with my two back door lock actuator with my car. i canno open my car from inside or outside.

I go to start my car in the morning and it is making a loud tapping noise the vehicle was stationary in my driveway. but as it warmed up it went away so i continued to drive to work it was fine all day but i figured i would let the dealership take a look at it since it’s wasnt a pleasant noise. i drop the vehicle off and they said the oil is extremely low (i’ve only had this car for about a month) i had bought it from a dealership so i assumes all the fluids would be fine until i needed an oil change. well they continued with the oil change and found metal shavings in the oil pan they then dropped the oil pan and found metal chunks. they told me the vehicle is still under the bumper to bumper warranty and that the engine needed to be replaced. i then asked around about why a vehicle this new would need the engine replaced and they said that hyundai has a recall out for those engines that they tend to fail but i can not find anywhere that my vehicle has a recall. this has been the most inconvenient process the dealership has had my car for about a month and do not even have a eta for when the engine will come in.

My vehicle sometimes seems to not won't to go when taking off.

I purchased this vehicle new in 2016. until now, the only issue has been accelerating from a stop, like everyone else. now, the doors are not operating properly. in march 2019, the front passenger door stopped opening from the outside. it would unlock/lock, but the outside handle would not operate and open the door the inside handle did operate. hyundai repaired/replaced the part under my extended warranty for $50. in april 2019, the back passenger door failed. this time it would not operate from the inside or outside. the dealer tried to make me wait wks from an appt, but this is a real safety issue with passengers/children in the back seat. what if there was an accident? i inquired about recalls, especially with passengers not being able to get out of the car, but was shut down by the mechanic. a quick google search suggests i'm not the only person with this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the doors would not immediately open when pulling the exterior door handles. the contact indicated that the failure was present on all four doors. the vehicle was taken to winner auto group (591 s. dupont hwy, dover, de) where it was diagnosed that the indoor locking mechanism was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 85,000. *bf *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the brake lights would not operate if the headlights were activated. the brake lights only worked when the headlights were off. in addition, "brake light out" appeared on the instrument panel. the dealer was not contacted. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 45,000.

Lights of stop do not have normal function. sometimes, turn on and most of time, not.

Right door are not working from in or out side front and back

Since taking ownership of the vehicle, i've experienced concerns with the vehicle bucking when moving at slow speeds such as in bumper to bumper traffic. the car hesitates to drive after a stop at an intersection and makes a winding noise when it finally does accelerate. one incident occurred when i was in the drive-thru lane at mcdonald's and the vehicle overheated. i had to pull over and allow the car to cool down for 30 minutes. another incident occurred when driving in a parking mall structure with an inclined road, there several cars behind me and the vehicle overheated, i had to pull over in an unsafe location putting family and me in danger by vehicles passing by in a very narrow lane and allow the vehicle time to cool off again. last week while at a shopping center i put the vehicle in reverse and it jolted forward almost striking a pedestrian. i’ve taken the car to the dealer countless times (service records are attached). the last diagnosis there was an internal oil leak in the transmission. they eventually ended up replacing the transmission with a remanufactured transmission, but the issue is still occurring. i have since parked the vehicle as i refuse to continue driving an unsafe car. i reached out to hyundai and expressed my concerns, but no resolution has been reached. please provide some support in getting this matter resolved.

I've owned my 2016 hyundai tucson for less then 1 month now. on 3 occassions after coming to a stop and trying to accelerate the gas pedal seems to fail. my rpms go up but the vehicle doesn't accelerate until pushing the gas pedal 3 times or more very hard. my vehicle only has 30k miles on it. i will be bringing it to the dealership. this is very dangerous especially when turning and on coming traffic is coming but the vehicle won't move. this could potentially kill me if struck while merging on to the freeway. i'm now afraid to drive and fear for my safety. a recall should be made out to pull these off the roads!!

When pulling out onto a road from a stop sign, my car will barely accelerate, and the rpms will race for a few seconds before the car suddenly lurches into gear and finally moves. this has caused several near accidents (thankfully, no accidents yet). this doesn't happen every time, but enough to be very dangerous, especially with new drivers in my house. i talked to the hyundai service center, and they acted like they had never heard of such thing -- even though there are complaints all over the internet. they said to bring it in and they could try to duplicate it, but in the absence of a "check engine" light, they doubted they would find anything wrong. also, when creeping along in traffic, the car shudders like it wants to stall. in either scenario, it's embarrassing to have passengers in the car. i can't wait to get rid of this car.

Engine failer,hyundia wants engine returned not allowing dealer to disasemble engine in order to find out the cause.car revs up when eclerating fast in traffic extremely dangerous car will not move until letting off accelerator.

The passenger side doors of my vehicle will not open properly. the front passenger side only opens from the inside once the vehicle has been in motion. the back passenger door will not open at all.

Vehicle has the 1.6 liter turbo engine w/ dual clutch transmission. from a stop the vehicle hesitates to accelerate and then takes off. tried being more aggressive on gas pedal but still hesitates, then it really shoots off. vehicle has 3 modes of driving- normal, eco, sport. tried all 3 and problem remains. although i can't duplicate/confirm results it seems to operate [slightly] better in lower temps (50-70f degrees) vs hot temps (85-95f). disconcerting or dangerous when pulling out into traffic.

It shocks me the fatality rate with these vehicles isn't through the roof, i've taken my vehicle to the shop 4 times already and haven't had it 6 months yet, the complete loss of power when you accelerate is dangerous & i'm surprised accidents while pulling out into on coming traffic isn't extremely high, because the lack of power,pull, hesitation & at times nearly cutting off is gonna get someone hit by a semi and the only thing either of the hyundai service departments say is "it's just the double clutch 7 gear transmission and that's normal, well if the transmission skipping and causing studdering hesitation and little to no acceleration when taking off is normal then i don't know how hyundai is still in business, it's awful and it's dangerous. and omg is it embarrassing pulling through and drive through or easing up to a light or something, because it spits and sputters and jumps so badly and nearly cuts off, but i'm told by guys in the service dept it's normal because of the transmission that's in it!! w$#t+$7f?#$@

Bought certified 2016 hyundai tucson turbo ltd with eco and dual clutch transmission. i’ve had it for 5 days. i bought it for my son and daughter to attend high school. the car kept acting like it was going to stall at every stop, it kept stuttering, and when you are accelerating and take your foot off the pedal the rpms keep rising, and doesn’t switch gears. it refs and rpm goes up but it doesn’t switch gears up or down shift either. the engine revs high and won’t switch gears. it’s like it wants to accelerate when you want it to slow down and when stopped it wants to stall. today it happened. we came to a stop so we could turn left onto an onramp on highway, (have to cross over other lane to go on on ramp), and it stuttered and stalled on opposite oncoming traffic side, before we could reach the ramp. my son was driving and i was in front seat and daughter was in back seat, i got scared, as you can’t see what coming over the hill on side we stalled (oncoming traffic). the guy saw we had stalled and ran out and started waving something down. it was an oncoming semi. thankfully he was able to redirect him or we would have been struck. we got the car started again and were able to get home. i looked up what had happened and saw that there was a mass recall of my exact car model, in the exact time frame of vehicle being made. the recall was for the exact things that are and did happen to us. i contacted the dealer and asked them why they never divulged this information and they said the didn’t know. i read on the nhtsa site that my exact suv, made the same date, hyundai had recalled, but mine for some reason is not. problem is when i put my vin in, nothing comes up for a recall. i don’t want to put my kids back in this car. i just dropped $24,000 5 days ago in a car loan. please help.

Due to the dual clutch transmission, my vehicle shakes and stalls when trying to push on the gas and accelerate. the engine loses power and i’m stepping on the accelerator while my whole vehicle shakes and maybe goes forward about two feet over 20 seconds before it will actually start moving like it should, often times leaving me in an unsafe position if this happens while making a left hand turn and gaging when i can safely proceed through oncoming traffic.

Front passenger window went down and won't go up. window motor is working but window won't go up.

Car does not accelerate smoothly. when turning from a stop, car hesitates. when merging with traffic, car hesitates. car accelerates too fast from a stop when temperature is over 85 f. transmission is too inconsistent. makes driving this car a gamble with your life. after several repairs by dealer to fix problems, they now say this transmission is a hybrid. it works more like a manual transmission. it was sold as an automatic transmission. dealer says there is nothing that can correct problem. the repairs they have made are; recall update dct control logic, replace temp. sensor and ecu update dct; seal vacuum pump update tcu (reset).

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving at a low speed and making a sharp left turn, the steering wheel seized without warning. as a result, the contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into a barrier. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was towed to heritage hyundai towson (801 york rd, towson, md 21204, (877) 387-5495) where it was diagnosed, but a failure code could not be found. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 28,738.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while making a left turn and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the failure recurred numerous times. the vehicle was taken to lehman hyundai (located at 21400 nw 2nd ave, miami, fl 33169, (866) 647-4751) where it was determined that the vehicle performed as designed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 46,000.

Vehicle will not accelerate past 30 mph after being stopped. pressing the accelerator actually slowed the vehicle further. i see a recall for this problem, but supposedly my vehicle (which i recently purchased used) was not part of the recall (my vin) although it was manufactured during the may 20, 2015 to may 31, 2016 time period for recall 16v628000.

Vehicle was in dealership for transmission multiple times then last week a fuel pump now at the dealership due to the fact vehicle caught fire as i was driving it and pulling up t =o my home

About four months after we purchased our vehicle, it began rattling when we would slow down to park or make turns. the best way i can explain is like when a manual transition is about to shut off because its not going in to the correct gear. we took the vehicle to the dealership and they told us that because of the dual transmission, this was expected. they said that putting in eco or sport mode the issue would be less noticeable. they even showed us a video about the dual transmission thinking that this would help fix our car. we have returned at least three more times we the same concern and have been told there is nothing wrong with the car since the computer determined nothing was wrong. the biggest concern i have is that the rattling has become worse and more consistent and that the car may stop all of a sudden when im making a turn or i can cause an accident.

My car stalls at intersections and will not take off quick enough to get me out of peoples way and from everything i am reading it is due to the dual clutch in my eco. i have had no accidents yet but getting really worried about my safety and the safety of others including someone who might hit me as i am making a turn when car will not move ahead quickly enough.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. on several occasions, while accelerating from a stop, the vehicle hesitated. additionally, while driving at low speeds, the vehicle shuddered uncontrollably. the vehicle was taken to keyes mission hills hyundai (located at 10240 sepulveda blvd, mission hills, ca 91345, (818) 924-4654) where it was diagnosed that the fuel and/or dual clutch transmission caused the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the manufacturer was contacted. the approximate failure mileage was 24,500.

When cold, car will not accelerate well enough to safely enter traffic. response improves when car has been driven for 10 minutes. very sluggish response by engine/ transmission.

My hyundai tucson transmission does not shift in a logical and predictable manner, occasionally not responding when i need acceleration such as pulling into traffic at a junction. my wife nearly had a collision when the transmission did not respond correctly when needed. additionally the clutch judders and shakes the whole vehicle when moving slowly in traffic and when pulling away from a stop. if you have read any of the 300 or more complaints in this section you will know that there is a serious design problem with the transmission in this car and it is not fixed regardless of the recalls or bulletins to date. most likely hyundai are not reporting their complaint levels to you as they should which keeps the wolves from the door, but it doesn't take much time reading all these complaints to understand there is a serious problem that is unresolved. the transmission is electronically controlled and the software engineers just cannot possibly predict all given driver or driving conditions. consequently on almost every trip in this car there is a late shift, early shift or hesitation that will occur, something that is not what i expect of it. i have a short uphill driveway to my garage, and every time i park on the driveway i'm not sure if i'm going to hit the garage door or not. i have just no confidence in its control-ability at all. the recall didn't fix anything no matter what hyundai tells you and now 3 years into the model its still the same. you cannot turn a blind eye to this and hope it goes away. hyundai in the meantime has abandoned this transmission for '19 on the tucson and they want the problem to disappear, but this is their way of dealing with it. problem was originally reported to hyundai in april 2016 - about 6 months after purchase

Hyundai tucson engine the vehicle is burning excess amounts of oil. the rate of engine oil loss is over one quart per 500 miles. my mechanic tells me his evaluation is the vehicle's turbo unit causes the engine to run very hot, and the internal seals are breaking down, causing oil to mix with the fuel. the solution is an engine rebuild, which will cost over $3,000. such a rebuild will result in the same issue arising again after the vehicle is in use for a period of time. the manufacturer has refused to address the issue, as i have corresponded with them about it. the issue is generic to all hyundai tucsons with 1.6 litre turbocharged engine. my mechanic has researched the issue, and says it occurs in all hyundai tucson vehicles with this engine configuration. there are other issues related to build quality, transmission, and other components, but this issue of the defective engine design is obviously the most important. the dealer that sold me this vehicle knew of this condition and did not disclose it at the time of sale, and represented that the engine was in sound working order. *dt*jb

Once per day, while driving on flat ground, the car displays the message "steep grade! press brake pedal" (page 5-20 in the owners manual). when this happens, the car completely dies and can not accelerate. i have to put my hazards on and coast to the side of the road! this is extremely dangerous! i have taken it to the dealership 3 times, however they claim they cannot reproduce it. the problem happens for me once per day! i opened a case with hyundai corporate but the case is open and unresolved because the problem is intermittent and only happens once per day. an intermittent problem is still a safety hazard, especially when it causes the driver to lose the ability to control the vehicle! it is a safety issue that could directly cause an accident. the nhtsa needs to be aware of this and hyundai and their dealerships need to take ownership and make corrective actions before someone gets seriously injured by this defect. i have a video of the issue occurring that i'm happy to share as well.

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.

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.

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.

When changing the car from reverse to drive it bucks/shudders (not every time, but frequently enough to be concerning). when first put into drive after sitting all day it'll boost forward and shudder and continue to do that if you roll along at slow speeds. sometime if you are turning and press the gas it will either not move quickly enough or suddenly boost forward. dealer has reset boost sensor, replaced boost sensor, and replaced terminal boost sensor plugs into. i'm still experiencing this issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while operating the vehicle with the headlights illuminated, the rear brake lights would not illuminate or function. however, the rear brake lights operated normally when the headlights were turned off. also, when making a left turn, the driver side turn signal light would suddenly shut off when turning the steering wheel. in addition, when switching the transmission shifter from park into drive, the vehicle jerked forward. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the local dealer (bob stallings hyundai, 39444 lbj freeway s., dallas, tx) was notified of the failures, but the manufacturer was not notified. the failure mileage was 49,000.

The 2016 model with the dual clutch transmission is a hazard~! the powertrain lags when at lights, stops, shifting gears. this happens from side streets to highway crusing/changing lanes and etc... i can see how this could cost lives and i am glad my lease is up soon! i feel the need to add a report and hope this doesn't end up costing any lives! please do a recall on the overall powertrain function! no one should be inured from this, thankfully other drivers are aware!

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving at unknown speeds, the accelerator pedal was applied and the vehicle hesitated, shuttered, and failed to move. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was taken to the local dealer (gerald hyundai, 209 hansen blvd, north aurora, il 60542, 630-907-8500) and was informed that the vehicle was working as designed. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not contacted. the failure mileage was 33,540 consumer stated when accelerating from a stop ( 0-5mph), "operating nominally", "corrected by trans assy-auto add gds operation", as explained to us, car learns owner's driving habits and they reset to original factory values - which did nothing!! updated 10/29/18*jb

This is the 3rd and worst time that this has happened. i approached the stop sign came to a complete stop my right blinker on i went to pull out onto the road and and stepped on the accelerator and the car would not go anywhere for approximately 2 and a 1/2 to 3 seconds. a vehicle traveling from the south to the north had to swerve around me i was almost hit had there a been somebody coming the other way down the road i would have been hit and probably killed.

Rear passenger door does not open. it will not open from inside or outside of the vehicle. driver door is now starting to stick.

A few months after purchasing the vehicle in april 2017 i took it in for service and complained about a hesitation in acceleration. i informed the dealer that the problem occurred in normal driving mode and was worse in eco mode. the dealer checked for the latest tcm update, said it had the recall update installed and said that all was ok and don't drive in eco mode. on a number of occasions since then, the vehicle continued to exhibit hesitation sporadically in regular mode, but also had a more serious fault. a number of times at busy intersections, the vehicle refused to move for a few seconds. this became a panic situation as the vehicle was momentarily "stalled" in oncoming traffic when making left turns. i reported this to the dealer service and they again checked and said the vehicle has the latest tcm update. subsequently i have noticed that the car has occasional hesitation but have not had the more serious "refused to move" situation. since it is a sporadic problem i have grave concern that it could happen again.the dealer advised me to call hyundai customer service. after speaking to a customer service specialist today i received two offers; trade your car in for whatever the dealer offers with no hyundai co.assistance, and information about how the dual clutch transmission works. so i am supposed to accept that i made a mistake in buying my 4th hyundai and hyundai made no mistake, or i am an ignorant fool who needs to educate myself. i was offered a gift card to placate myself. really? i put myself and my family at risk for a gift card... this is unacceptable as hyundai is not acknowledging their engineering and manufacturing problem and the danger that this flaw entails. if a serious accident happens as a result of this problem they will be on the hook for much more than a gift card.

We bought the car brand new from the showroom floor with 0 miles on the speedometer. when we back out from the dealer parking lot and put the car in drive, it would not move forward at all. the salesman ended up backing the car to the service dept where they reprogrammed the transmission. it ran fine for a month or two then started stalling again. the dealer reprogrammed the transmission and once again it ran fine for a short period until resuming the stalling effect again. now, the transmission stalls and/or shutters constantly when taking off, causing us to almost be hit by oncoming cars. the mileage is only 11,000 and the powertrain has a 10yr/100,000 mile unlimited warranty, but hyundai says the transmission is acting exactly the way it is supposed to and will not do anything about it.

My 2017 tucson now has 1,771 miles. i have the same fears for my family, myself as well as others when i drive this vehicle. problems occur after i have driving at least 15 to 20 minutes. if suv then sits for a short while they may start up at that point. several times merging onto the busy intersection i attempt to pull forward with the intention of making a left hand turn. i apply pressure to the gas pedal, my suv slowly moves into oncoming traffic. the rpm's rev, but the vehicle barely moves. i have cars coming down a hill towards me the car behind me has slammed on their brakes. more pressure applied to the gas, eventually i have power. sitting at a red light when it turns green, again pressure applied to the gas and the car revs and suv edges forward. i feel like l have no power then all of a sudden the suv starts to move. i am going to cause an accident and it will be at the hands of hyundai. i have explained my concern to hyundai and was told they never heard of this, but bring it in for an appointment. i scheduled an oil change while their i asked them to please check my concerns and i explained again. went back a few hours later & they found nothing, no codes came up to explain any issues, i could leave it for three days at a future date so they could spend an extended period of time with it. they never ended up having a rental to take it as of yet. 2016 tucson owners experiended the same issues. hyundais 2nd year with the same issues, 2016's tackled with no success. when i approached the dealership with this issue i was told they never heard of this before. if hyundai is unable to fix tjis problem they should replace the transmission. go to the root of the problem before someone gets hurt or worse yet killed. i know that i do not feel safe driving this vehicle. how is it legal selling something knowing that it's not safe.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear driver and passenger side door locks failed. the contact was unable to unlock the doors automatically or manually from outside or inside the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for inspection. the manufacturer was not notified. the vehicle was not repaired. the vin was not available. the failure mileage was 40,000.

After purchasing the vehicle the mileage was not adding correctly, i bought the car with approximately 104 miles on it and after 2 weeks of driving approximately 200 miles the total miles on my car was 150. my car automatically starts on occasion when i use my key fob to lock my doors. my stereo/gps/back up camera view doesn’t work at times. i have had several occurrences in which the transmission feels as though it “slips” and others in which i have to press the accelerator (gas pedal) to the floor to get my car to move. today i was completely stopped at a red traffic signal, upon green i stepped on the accelerator (gas pedal) and my car responded as if it were in neutral and i stepped on the accelerator. the engine revved and it moved a few feet. i have less than 33,000 miles on my car and i have had issues since i purchased it. i have taken it to the dealership multiple times and they say they “can’t duplicate” the issues i’m having. transmission appointment is tomorrow. i would like notifications of any recalls, i am unable to check the box at the bottom of the page i am submitting.

When accelerating i step on the gas and the car barely moves forward and then you can feel the transmission disengage while the rpms continue to rise but at this point you are stuck in the middle of an intersection with no power, im sure you can imagine the safety concerns with this. then, sometimes 2 seconds, sometimes 5-10 seconds later the transmission engages and the car launches forward due to the high rpms. im sure this isnt good for the transmission and it is easy to lose control of a car launching in this manner. we have had numerous close calls on the road. there are also times when i step on the gas and the rpms rise but the car does nothing at all. i will put it in park and then drive multiple times and the car still wont move. i have had to turn the car off in the middle of an intersection in order to get the transmission to work properly. when i brought these complaints to hyundai they said they were aware and told me they had just issued a recall. so i brought my car in to have it fix. i was really excited to finally have what i paid for. well, i was extremely disappointed when i picked up the car because the recall did absolutely nothing. we are actually experiencing these problems more frequently. some technicians and hyundai motors usa tell me that i dont know how to drive a dual clutch transmission and say that i shouldnt expect the car to accelerate when i step on the gas. let me repeat, i shouldnt expect the car to accelerate when i step on the gas! they also sent me a youtube video to teach me how to drive a dual clutch transmission which i found insulting. i know how to drive a car! other technicians from arapahoe hyundai admit that there is a major safety issue with this car and they would never put their family in one. the nhtsa needs to investigate this car and take it off the road.

Double-clutch transmission hesitation when thinking about starting out or shifting of 1.5 to 2 seconds. this allows an oncoming vehicle to be 2.5 car lengths closer and when you are making a left hand turn against on-coming traffic this is life threatening. this does not happen all the time and you don't know when it will happen. it also happens when moving straight. the hyundai dealer told us to keep the drive mode in sport - it happened once in that not nearly as severe. however in sport we get far less miles per gallon (5 miles on average) and the fuel economy was why we bought the vehicle. we also contacted corporate and they informed us the company that made the transmission said, “it works as designed.” that means it was designed to put peoples’ lives in danger.

This suv stutters and hesitates on acceleration. at a stop entering traffic lanes very unsafe while idling will stumble and shake. rpms will ramp up with no transmission engagement. this is our 3rd transmission i don’t think hyundai has a fix for this transmission problem. car was $35000 what happens when warranty expires? unsafe. unacceptable multiple similar complaints about this model and its transmission online hyundai offers no long term solution

After turning vehicle off, the gas tank makes a noise similar to a plastic water bottle expanding/contracting.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving various speeds, the vehicle would not properly accelerate and the engine stalled. the vehicle was towed to the dealer (lafontaine hyundai in dearborn, mi) where it was diagnosed that the engine was faulty and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was approximately 5,000.

After stopping, when you press the gas, the vehicle does not move forward it hesitates severely for a few seconds. the engine rpms pick up but no forward movement. in fact, if you are on a slight uphill grade, the vehicle will begin to drift back.this occurs in regular driving mode - not eco or sport. it happens intermittently and is totally unpredictable. this has happened multiple times and the last time was about 3:30 pm on 05/13/2018 in the 1.5 to 2 second delay that vehicle should have moved 55 to 73 feet! and i am sure that is what any vehicle behind the tuscon would expect as well. this is a huge safety issue when in traffic and other vehicles are behind you. i spent 15 years in fire & rescue and have seen a number of rear-end accidents. this is an accident waiting to happen with a 55 to 73 feet delay zone.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the rear passenger side door failed to open from inside and outside of the vehicle. in addition, the front passenger side door failed to open from inside the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to bowser hyundai (1001 clairton blvd, pleasant hills, pa 15236) where it was diagnosed that the door actuator needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 67,952.

My car has difficulty accelerating (7x), inability to reverse (2x), and a transmission error that limits my speed (2x). trouble accelerating is present in all cases. i bought the car new in october 2015, and a recall on the dual clutch transmission (dct) was done in february 2016. the recall was to fix a known problem of the car's inability to accelerate after repeatedly pressing and releasing the accelerator. the problems started in may 2016 after the software update. i took my car to hyundai and was told it was a normal operation of dct. in december 2016, the second part of the dct software update was done. once the warmer weather came, my car had the same issues in april 2017, june 2017 (taken to dealer, update), september 2017, three times in october 2017 (taken to dealer, normal), and twice in may 2018. all occurrences were in warm weather (77 degrees to 82 degrees) after the car had been sitting outside all day. prior to october, all incidences were trouble accelerating after stopping in traffic on the highway. however, one incident in october is also when my car wouldn't reverse, and the other had a transmission error that would not allow me past 51mph. for the second occurrence in may, the car was driven for about two miles, stopped at a store parking lot with the ac running for about five minutes, then had difficulty accelerating, the transmission error appeared again at 32mph limiting my speed, and i could not reverse. i called the dealership and drove the car to them. the mechanic believed my issue and did not want to drive it. my car has been into the dealer five times, and i was just told that my car is acting normally. they are ready to release the car to me; however, i have stressed the safety issue and refuse to take the car back. this car is not reliable and could cause an accident with injury or death. i filed a complaint with hyundai corporate.

I had been driving my 2016 hyundai, tucson, for over 5 hours on highway. after taking a break, and returning back to highway, my car suddenly began accelerating from my 60mph speed to over 80mph. i took my foot off gas pedal and tapped brake pedal. the brake pedal hit the floor with no resistance, as the car continued to accelerate. after successfully pulling car off highway, i applied emergency brake to stop car. after having it towed to nearest hyundai dealer, they were unable to duplicate problem, and told me there was nothing wrong. the car is routinely in for service.

I thought i was imagining things. i would be stopped at a light a stop sign etc. but when i try to accelerate i would'nt go anywhere. this has happen since i bought the car in 2015.

When attempting to accelerate from a complete stop, the car hesitates and does not move forward. i then try it again and the car moves as expected. at this point, my wife and i very frightened that we can not predict the actions of the car which could lead to an accident and possible injury/death. it appears a lot of other hyundai tuscon owners have complained about this problem and nothing is being done.

Engine light came on with no warning started knocking stalled out

Severe hesitation on acceleration. jerky motion when slow rolling. cannot back up steep hills.

2016 hyundai tucson. consumer writes in regard to vehicle engine failure. *as *tr

“takata recall” both back doors will not open from the inside nor be outside. initially started with the back drivers side door and within 2 weeks the back passenger door wpuld not open either. when i i hit the lock and unlock button from inside the car and on my key fob the locks move, therefore it is not an electrical problem. after researching this issue i found this has been a common problem with this vehicle and apparently the “clip” falls of inside the door panel therefore the door will not open. this is truly a safety issue, since if my car were to catch on fire or were in an accident and i had a passengers in the backseat they would not be able to get out of the vehicle! nor am i able to get my child in and out of the backseat with the car seat.

My vehicle was recalled in 2016, shortly after i leased it, for a known issue with the transmission. prior to my recall appointment, i was stopped at a traffic light. when the light turned green, i pressed the gas and the car failed to accelerate. when it finally did, it surged forward into an intersection. while very scary, no one was hurt. the recall issue was "addressed" by the dealer. in february 2019, the car again had an issue where it failed to accelerate. i was in a parking lot on a slight incline. i put the car in reverse, it backed up. i put the car in drive and hit the gas. not only did the car fail to accelerate forward but the brake was stuck. without being able to control the car, it reversed until it hit a dumpster, busting my tail light and putting a dent in my trunk. again, luckily no one was injured. it is well documented that this year, make and model have had the issue that i am describing. there have been suits under the lemon law. moreover, the manufacturer and dealer have been less than helpful. it took multiple calls to get a national caseworker assigned. when i finally received a call, inwas told to bring it to the dealer for diagnostics. my car has been with the dealer for 5 days with no answers and and no loaner vehicle. at this point i feel it is necessary to write to you to take action. safety should be paramount to any car manufacturer. ignoring the well-documented history of this car's safety issues, cannot be tolerated. failure to act, and worse, attempts to somehow place onus on the lessee is an ethical issue and an attempt for the manufacturer to save face. this vehicle is not safe. the issue is intermittent and cannot be predicted. any attempt to put me back in a faulty vehicle to collect my last 4 monthly payments is a disgusting display of a lack of concern for driver's safety.

Recently, we've been experiencing an issue involving the rear door locking system on our daughter's 2016 tucson. the doors can't be opened, despite the child locks being disabled, the auto and manual locks being unlocked, or the manual handles being used from inside or out. the is a most unsafe situation, especially in the event of an emergency. we have scheduled a maintenance appointment with our local dealer (tameron hyundai, hoover) at our expense.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving after dusk, there was reduced visibility from the driver's side headlamp. the contact stated that the failure was due to dark spots on the headlamp. the contact was concerned that there was a failure with the refractive lens in the headlamp along with the placement of the headlamp. the contact was unsure if the headlamp was placed improperly. the contact stated that the headlamp was a replacement after a crash involving a deer. the vehicle was repaired at an independent repair facility. a dealer was not contacted. the manufacturer was notified. the approximate failure mileage was 37,000.* consumer stated driver's side headlight failed.*jb

I purchased the 2016 hyundai tucson in october 2015. the following year i noticed that sometimes when i’m stopped and go to accelerate, my car will not go anywhere for a few seconds then it takes off. this is very dangerous when it comes to pulling out onto a busy street. it didn’t happen often but has gotten worse over the years. now lately, i have been getting “check bsd system” warnings. this happened once one day and then increased significantly since. now my car will give that warning, acts like it shuts off, and wont go anywhere and i’ll have to restart my car. or sometimes it will be in 2nd or 3rd gear and that warning will pop up and immediately shift to 0. after this happens there are 5-6 warning lights that light up on the dash board, including the check engine light. this has progressed over the last 3 days, ultimately making my car not drivable. i am taking it in tomorrow. every time this happens i’ve been in “drive” and either stopped at a light or evening in motion.

During stop and go traffic with speeds from stop (0mph) to 15mph and stopping again (which i have to go through every day to and from work m-f), the suv hesitates when trying to accelerate-sometimes vibrating like driving on bumpy dirt road before it finally jerks when the gear catches. dealer service department said there's nothing they can do except reset the computer-which they did but suv still presenting with same problem and seems to be worsening.

Various issues have come up with my tucson related to misc items which were repaired. i also noticed an issue with acceleration from stop. the car would hesitate when you started to proceed from a stop. the dealership said the engine needs time to get broke in so after it will fix itself. each time i took the car to the dealership for service, they stated they had checked everything out and performed service and found no issues. i was never told about any recalls or defects in manufacturing. recently, the problem became dangerous. the car would hesitate at stop lights and almost caused two accidents. on one occasion, it was in heavy traffic and the car would not go after pressing the gas and then it surged forward almost hitting the car in front of me and the car behind me almost hit me also. i took the car back to the dealership, a rep from the service dept.drove the car and stated, “you could drive cross country, and there is no problem”. within days of this incident, another was narrowly avoided and i had enough. the car would not accelerate at a stoplight and then at the next it hesitated and then surged forward almost causing an accident. i returned to the dealership and demanded they figure out the problem and fix it! the dealership took my tucson to inspect. after a day, they called and told me i needed an entire new transmission. that the original transmission was not operating correctly and required a full replacement, they also said there was a problem with drive shaft which they also would need to fix and finally another problem with the a/c which would require full replacement as well. after two years and a full warranty, the dealership "checking everything" during each service and now only after my demand, and my pleading do they find problems…and all major problems. i got my car back, but now the heating and a/c is not operating right.

When i put my foot on the gas pedal from a stopped position the car hesitates and often will shudder. the company has admitted it is a flaw due to dual clutch transmission. they have since stop using this transmission. this occurs regardless of street , or highway.

The car doesn't reliable accelerate after pressing the accelerator peddle. intermittently it takes up to 5 seconds before the car starts to move from a stop. trying to pull out into busy traffic has cause near accidents on many occasions. you may push the peddle down and it sit there and then all of a sudden shoot forward. it has been into the dealer over 6-7 times and they state "they all do that". it has been that was since we bought it in 2016 and have been working with a lawyer since but have stopped due to fees.

I was an owner of a 2016 hyundai tucson with turbo. until january 23, 2018. i owned this vehicle for more than a year and although this was a great vehicle we had an issue with the transmission since a week after our purchase date.we have had it back to the service department at wright way hyundai in staunton, va numerous times over the same issue. the transmission would allow the motor to send the rpms to exceed a high level before engaging. so bad at time that it would pull you to one side of the road or the other, also from a stop it would rev up so bad that it would take off spinning. i have contacted hyundai over this matter including other dealerships. i have been told everything from “that’s the way it was designed” to “you have to learn how to drive it”. it always would come down to that it was the way we were driving it. i’m sorry but a transmission should not respond in that matter. i also was told by a hyundai rep. that they have had many complaints over the same issue.i was traveling down the road and was approaching a curve when i lifted my foot off the accelerator and when i went back to the accelerator the rpms shot up. it wouldn’t go. i pushed again, and the rpms shot up and then suddenly it engaged and when it did i was pulled left across the oncoming lane and over a steep 30-foot embankment into about 5 feet of very cold water. i was taken to the hospital in an ambulance and i was checked out with minor injuries. and no i wasn’t speeding.

No acceleration from a stop, rolls back when at a stop of any incline, lunges forward after a stop since the transmission is not working properly. in every mode it does the same, they did a software update a few months ago, but it did not help at all. my daughter goes to college out of state and is always very nervous about driving her car. i am nervous as a parent so far away. this is very dangerous and they need to fix it. the car has been in 3 times to note it in the file, when she gets back this may we are hoping to have it bought back for something else. when in traffic, the stalling is even worse. she has almost hit cars in front of her since there is so much hesitation in the engine and transmission.

Sunroof shattered and glass fell into the car on the driver and passenger. the car was in motion on a highway and traveling at highway speeds. weather was 70 degrees f and sunny and the incident happened on february 15, 2018. we were not near an overpass and there were no large trucks around us at the time.

2016 tucson limited with 1.6 turbo engine. i have had recent problems with the car bogs down or seem to cut of when i accelerate from a stop or very low speed. this has happened when i am trying to merge in traffic from an off ramp, pulling out of a parking lot and trying to get in another lane in traffic from a stop. as soon as i pressed the accelerator the car would stop as if the engine ha cut off. i have to try to manually downshift to1st gear or switch to a sport mode for the car to respond. in heavy traffic trying to merge from an off ramp or change lanes or even leaving parking lots to merge on highway. this has occurred quite frequently and i have some very narrow mishaps with cars slamming on their brakes to avoid running in to me. i am a very experienced driver who has driving professionally for over thirty years including tractor trailers with many safety awards. it is only because of my experience that a serious accident has been avoided so far. each time this has happened i reported it to the dealer service department and asked if there were any recalls or service notices and have had no recourse this seems to be getting worse over the nearly two years i have the car. i am afraid to let my wife drive the car for fear that she might be involved in a serious or worse accident. the dealer has only told me not to drive in eco mode any more, i have done every thing they ask including using premium gas, more service driving in different modes. i have driven many different types of vehicles, cars and trucks and have never had this problem with a new vehicle and the service tech has no idea what to do.

Happened while accelerating after a stop and trying to accelerate after deceleration. when pressed the pedal, complete lack of power. eventually lurched forward and then decelerate again about 3 times. pressing the accelerator several times seemed to make it worse. slowly accelerating helped but was jerky and unsteady. higher rpms on the highway for no apparent reason. occurred several times on the ride home that day. once the car is turned off, the problem is intermittent and the dealership has not been able to recreate it. brought it to the dealership 3x. it is very dangerous. i bought this car new and am now wondering how i will continue to drive a car that could kill me. very upsetting. also, it is a well documented problem and no one seems to be doing anything about it. i hope it won't take someone dying to get this fixed.

When the vehicle is stationary (example: i come to a stop at a stop sign or stop light) then try to move again, the car won't move and there is a lull when i give it gas. this is a dangerous problem with the dual clutch transmission. the engine "revs" but the car wouldn't move after coming to a stop. i have had a few instances where i become stuck in the middle of the road for a minute.

The car’s transmission fails to power the car sometimes. when pressing the accelerator the engine will rev up but the car will not move. there was a recall for this problem but the work they performed did not fix the problem. when driving the car the driver does not know what to expect. hyundai claims this is normal operation. this problem has been ongoing for the past 6 months. it’s a very dangerous problem and something should be done to make hyundai really fix the problem.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to drive, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate. suddenly, the vehicle accelerated at a rapid speed without warning. the vehicle was taken to faulkner hyundai (2060 paxton st, harrisburg, pa 17111, (717) 238-7324) where it was diagnosed that an unknown system needed to be updated. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 34,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle did not respond for at least five seconds. the vehicle was taken to horne hyundai (1360 e auto center dr, apache junction, az 85219) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 37,000. *dt consumer no has the vehicle*jb

Intermittent acceleration or stalling while stationary or in motion during normal driving conditions on roads or parking lots. the problem occurs when accelerating the vehicle over accelerates or attempts to stall. this has occurred often with startling results. have been told by two hyundai dealers service departments that this is caused by the "double shift transmission" and that although hyundai is aware, there is no fix to the problem -- that i just have to get use to it! unanticipated acceleration and/or stalling is a safety concern that should not be tolerated. this has occurred many times since i have owned this vehicle from december 2015 with the most recent date indicated below.

I have a 2016 limited edition tucson with 1.6 turbo. this was not an initial issue but an issue that builds up and continues to become worse the more miles i place on the car. there are hesitations, stuttering and failure to move when the vehicle accelerates. this causes fear and doubts of safety. i have had multiple drivers test my vehicle as well and come to the same startling result. there is also unusual vibrations when slowing down in speed, especially when parking. i take my car into frequent and routine maintenance yet they cannot find a fix to the issue but rather excuses. i no longer enjoy driving my car and do not trust the line of vehicles any longer.

The electric system is acting up. the answer and hang up bottom on steer stop working for months,the driver side window want go down.and the key in the car.it say that key not detected

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.

"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.

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.

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.

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 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 .

Coming to a stop /slow roll and accelerate there is a bad hesitation. can be unsafe to pull out into traffic. had hyundai 149 recall performed and problem is better but not fixed. talked to hyundai service, they said they can't fix unless hyundai comes out with new recall program.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the electrical system warning indicator illuminated. the vehicle was serviced at sheppard hyundai (2300 w 7th ave, eugene, or 97402, (541) 343-8811) per nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system); however, the remedy failed to repair the vehicle. the contact mentioned that the electrical system warning indicator remained illuminated after the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 61,800.

I have owned a 2016 hyundai tucson for 2.5 years. in that time it has been in for several issues that can not be duplicated when at the service center and deemed "working fine, no codes present at this time". my issues have included loss of transmission control after a stop (software update fixed), intermittent headlamp that won't turn on, the media displaying "battery discharge warning" while car was running and in motion (headlamp replaced after several times taking to the dealership and i was lucky enough to have the warning light go on while the technician was there). now the computer/dash board is restarting itself at 45 mph . this has occurred two times. the dash board went dark for 1 second and then started back up through is startup sequence. during this time, the engine is still running but i have no control over the transmission. if you push on the gas pedal it will increase rpms but not accelerate. during this time it is necessary to pull over and turn the car off and then back on. again, no codes thrown and not reproducible at the service center. the service center found that the positive battery terminal was not completely tight and thought maybe this caused the issue. i am frustrated that something that could happen easily as this doesn't show up as an error since it caused a unsafe driving environment. 24 hours ago, while trying to make a left hand turn at a busy street the car started forward when gas pedal pressed but then stopped moving forward only to lurch forward after a second and pick up speed. i know that if i take it in for this it will be the same story: "we found nothing wrong. no codes thrown, bring it back if it happens again." this car is not safe to drive and the manufacture will not buy it back since there was no defect found...

Several times the vehicle has had on going issues, when pushing on the gas pedal to move its either no movement or jerks back and forth like its out of gas but wont go. this has been on going since i leased it new but the dealership keeps telling me its fine. they have had it many times. it has almost gotten me hit several times as it doesn't always go. i have had to put my hazards on and move out of traffic on the highway. this vehicle has done this from a stop to go and while in traffic while i am going and turning. i have had all the updates and have been told it is fixed but it still continues to do this in all situations at random times.this is not a safe vehicle for my family. i am very disappointed.

While attempting to pull out of a private drive again 4 days ago, with plenty of time before on coming traffic was close, my car would not accelerate with the gas pedal all the way to the floor. it finally did accelerate when traffic was dangerously close. this has happened previously and is unacceptable. i am pregnant and this is too dangerous. does there have to be an accident before it gets fixed? it needs fixed now! it was 6:56pm, not the prime heat of the day as many use that as an excuse. i will never buy a tucson again and will not recommend them. the morning of this incident (8a-10a) my car felt as if the transmission was “slipping” and “jerking” several times as i drove through the city. again not during the heat of the day. please contact me with any and all safety recalls. once again i am unable to check the “yes” box to request this information at the bottom of this form.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate while making a right turn when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the contact stated that there was a delay and a sudden increase in speed moments after the accelerator pedal was depressed. the failure occurred more than twice. the dealer (nashua hyundai, 140 daniel webster hwy, nashua, nh 03060, 603-891-3511) diagnosed that a software update was necessary. the update was performed, but failed to provide a permanent remedy as the failure continued. the vehicle was then taken to autofair hyundai (1477 s willow st, manchester, nh 03103, 603-634-0500) who also provided a software update, which failed to prevent the failure. the dealers indicated that the transmission may be the cause of the failures, but did not specifically diagnose the part that needed to be replaced. the manufacturer issued a recall for nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the manufacturer was notified of the failure and instructed the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer for further diagnostic testing and repairs. the vin and failure mileage were unknown.

When accelerating after a stop the car will not accelerate. it basically seems to be stuck and the car does not move. this has happened on multiple occasions and i have almost been rear ended twice because the person behind me doesn't know that my car won't accelerate. this is a safety issue not only for me but for everyone else on the road. i was making a left hand turn at an intersection and the car started to accelerate but then just stopped and the light turned and the oncoming traffic almost hit me. i am not sure if this is the power train or what it is. we have expressed this concern to a hyundai dealership in the past after seeing a recall for this but they said it wasn't my make and model for that recall. this has happened too many times for me not to believe that there is something wrong.

Vehicle does not move when accelerator pedal is pressed. or it moves and then stops while the accelerator is pressed. stutters during acceleration as well. very dangerous issue which can result in a crash or death. i've reported this 2x to hyundai and they state it is happening but not recalled under my vin. i've had it serviced 3x regarding this issue and they haven't fixed the issue. this is happening to my vehicle! dates below on when it happened is not exact because it's still happening.

At slow start stop speed the car will at times not respond to accelerator,car will not move for a few seconds. contrary to many complaints of this problem the engine does not rev , it is as if there is no connection to the foot pedal.usually happens when edging forward to exit a driveway.i have been nearly t-boned many times.only forsight has kept me out of trouble so far but i'm afraid some day my luck will run out.

Hello: glad you are there. given a 2016 national service recall, (16v628000) perhaps you are aware of the “hesitation” and related dangerous flaws in the regular operation of hyundai tucson vehicles with a “dual clutch” transmission. we purchased our vehicle new on 09/05/2015 from a hyundai dealer. we returned it to the dealer for the hesitation problem on 10/19/2015 and again on 11/4/2015, eventually a dozen times to various hyundai dealers in hope of having a lasting repair done. to no avail. we were told repeatedly of a software update or adjustment to solve the problem. we were trusting each time, accepting the vehicle back. (service records often stated that a mechanic “could not replicate” the problem as if that were answer to a problem that was known to arise sporadically. conversely, several times a service employee said off to the side that they were well aware of the problem and in two cases they had the same ongoing problem with their hyundai vehicles!) this hesitation has, for self-protection, often forced us to drive out of our way to avoid busy uncontrolled intersections as a mid-cross hesitation could result in the highly dangerous, infamous “t-bone” accident. it has caused near rear-end collisions as drivers behind us do not expect a sudden pause in movement. concerns of accidents prodded us at times to instead drive a much older car with 200,000 miles. what seems to be a clutch problem has recently grown: hesitation can occur at highway speeds, which obviously is quite unsafe. also new is sporadically, when attempting to move from a stop, the result at times is a loud whirring noise lasting seconds. as in all “hesitation” cases, it does not matter who is driving although hyundai service departments have repeatedly suggested just that. they recently offered to have us drive a similar vehicle as a test. we agreed. they withdrew the offer.

The engine oil pressure warning light turned on without any auguries while driving on a highway. we pulled over the car as soon as possible, but the car could not be started again after we turned off the engine. we had the car towed to a hyundai dealership, and then we were told the engine was seized and needed to be replaced. when we asked how it happened, they told us that our engine oil plug was missing, so all the engine oil was drained out. they checked our maintenance record, and found that we had an oil change three months back at another hyundai dealership. we were told that it could be possible that the engine oil plug was not properly installed during last maintenance service, but they were not sure about it, after all it had been 3 months not 30 minutes since then. we were never given a sure reason for what happened to the car, but the engine replacement was taken care of by hyundai warranty. personally i don’t think the “maintenance mistake” hypothesis make sense. we did not drive this car daily, maximum average usage was about weekly, but long distance most times. if the plug was loose due to the maintenance, we should have a problem sooner unless the oil doesn’t drain when a car is parked. in addition, it could not be someone loose the plug at a parking lot on purpose either. because when we drove the car out, we did not notice any oil trace on the ground, and we had been continuously driving this car for about 2 hours before the engine failure happened. the most possible reason that i could think of is the engine was defective. i am hoping this issue can be brought into a formal investigation, because it could lead to very serious consequences.

In november 2017 i purchased a 2016 hyundai tuscon. apparently, the vehicle has a "dual clutch transmission" dct. recently while backing out of my driveway and then putting the car in drive and pushing the accelerator the vehicle lunged jerking myself and my daughter. this is not the first time this has occurred. in addition while in traffic the vehicle will begin to shudder until near stall. this is both scary and alarming. the shuddering occurs when either rolling forward, accelerating the gas, or sitting idle. this has become a serious concern as my car just does not respond to the acceleration at all at times. this is becoming increasing scary and unstable in my opinion. i have been to the dealership twice now and get no real answers except that the car checks out fine and they cannot duplicate the issue. i have searched for recalls on this issue and found on "car complaints" there is a recall on this year, make and model yet hyundai has no information on this. i will be calling the manufacturer to complain. i am sick to my stomach about this. purchased this car for stability and security on the road and now i am stuck with it. sellers should have to disclose the dual clutch transmission to buyers. period!

When stepping on the gas pedal, from a complete stop, the car does not immediately go. it slowly moves, and then takes off after about 2-3 seconds. if stepping lightly on the gas pedal, moving slowly ("creeping"), as if through a parking lot, the vehicle shutters and jerks.

Sitting in traffic because of a accident my tucson would not move when i pressed the accelator for about 2 seconds the rpms would go up, then the transmission would engage and the vehicle would lung forward. this continued for about 2 hours. i believe the dual clutch transmission is at fault.

Installed trailer hitch and wiring on said 2016 hyundai tuscon and wiring module shorted or malfunctioned causing defective lighting on trailer. checked online and found that a recall for this problem does exist from hyundai ( recall campaign 153 ) and this vehicle does fit the manufacture date within the recall but the dealer and hyundai customer when notified said that this vin # is not included in the recall even though i am having the exact problem the recall is for. i am making this notice in that should there be a problem in the future that i have tried to get the problem resolved and the company chooses to dismiss my claim. this problem exist moving or stationary, but is extremely dangerous at night and especially when changing lanes or turning

There is an issue with the sport models that have the dual clutch transmission. the vehicles hesitate when accelerating from a stop and will then launch forward once the gear engages. the rpms will shoot to 3 and then drop to just above 0 multiple times before the vehicle reaching 20 mph. my vehicle is also making a rattling sound when idling and accelerating at slow speeds. hyundai has done their recall update but it is not completely fixing this issue and just making it slightly less dramatic. i have asked hyundai multiple times to address this and they are refusing to address ot saying it is just a characteristic of the dual clutch transmissions to avoid having to repair the vehicles . i had a tech at hyundai tell me that hyundai will say it's normal but it's not normal. please please investigate. my vehicle failed to accelerate when i was merging from a stop to another lane with oncoming traffic at 40 mph on a city street, it took a few seconds before the transmission engaged and moved. it also hesitated while i was turning from a driveway and then jerked and kicked forward. this is not safe !

Driver passenger door will not open from both inside and outside.

First name:[xxx] last name: [xxx] email: [xxx] phone: [xxx] vin number: [xxx] subject: product feedback message: my car is refusing to go into gear when it is at a speed other than stopped. i took it in for service and they had the vehicle for 3 days, but it never generated a code so they could not fix it. it is still a problem and i no longer feel it is safe to drive it. please advise me on my options. thank you. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Dct transmission shifts erratically since purchased. it has been back to the dealer 5 times. cannot be fixed. each soft ware up grade does not help. transmission jumps into neutral when very hot day in traffic or very cold morning. dangerous

This suv is incredibly dangerous. the dct(dual clutch transmission) does not engage correctly and will buck and stall when trying to accelerate from a slow down or stop.i have had to slam my foot on the gas and it will still not engage timely or safely. it was brought in for a recall but the issue continues . the dealership states there is no other fix for this. i have been beeped at by other drivers that had to swerve to get out of my way so they didn't hit me when the car does this.i have literally been in an intersection when this happens, and then the car will just take off. i barely drive the car anymore because of. this. i am afraid for our lives. my friends and family refuse to drive anywhere with this car because it is so unsafe. i have contacted hyundai. waiting on resolution, but these cars have so many complaints they need to remove the 2016 tuscan from the road. this is seriously dangerous. this is my 6th hyundai and i love buying hyundai but never again if this is not resolved. this has been happening since i bought it in november of 2016.

This vehicle, as other 2016 and 2017 hyundai tucsons, has a problem with smooth and safe acceleration from a dead stop. there is a sputter, hesitation that happens each time, sometimes stronger than others. if you were making a left turn across traffic, the sputter is enough to place you in potential danger. we have taken this to our local hyundai dealer in the 86001 zip code. we were told that other customers with the 2016-17 hyundai tucson have similar complaints however the manufacturer has not issued any recalls nor made any suggestions on how to fix the problem. we have contacted hyundai customer service and have been told basically that they are sorry that we don't like the vehicle but they can't satisfy everyone. i have those emails to forward to you when needed.

Dual clutch transmission slips and car will dangerously not accelerate when cold

When pushing the gas pedal the truck doesn't move or sometimes hesitates a long period of time. if sometimes the car moves and sometimes it doesn't you cant judge to safely switch lanes, merge on to high speed highways, turn etc. this is a very dangerous car and it has a mind of its own. hyundai blames it on the "specialized eco transmission" this car is a death trap. this has been a problem since i bought the vehicle aug 2016.

Since i bought the car in dec 2015 this has happened 3 times. while i am driving the message "battery discharge warning! please use the system with engine running" at hyundai of louisville in dixie they said nothing was wrong. latest time it happened 11/30/17 while driving it for oil change to hyundai oxmor i asked to have that message checked they said it was just a glitch. the 3 times i am driving (highway and street), so the engine is running. after turning the engine off and on again it quit.

Car hesitates when stopped and making a turn. car also hesitates when starting to move forward. we have received nhitsa campaign number 16v-628. we have had two calls with hyundai customer service with no satisfaction> my wife has almost been in three accidents when car hesitated in oncoming traffic.

My car turned off twice while driving with no indicators lighting up. i was going to take it for oil change closer to my work; but had to pull over the vehicle started to knock again no indicators came on. i finally get to a dealership for kia and agent told me they had to check for recalls on the engine because past cars like 2014,2015,2016 all had engine trouble. then told me engine is knocking and i should park it to avoid further damage . i told him but car is only a year old. bought it in 2016 brand new; but because of my negligence of getting the oil change on time; i have to cover my own repairs.---again no indicator telling me its out of oil or running hot came on.

When starting from a complete stop or stationary, the car hesitates, almost seems to choke, and then lurches forward with a burst when trying to enter into traffic. it is hard to anticipate whether it will move or not when trying to pull out into traffic from a stop sign. once moving the car seems to operate and accelerate without any problem. this issue was noted in an earlier recall (august 2016). a software "fix" was implemented. immediately afterward, i felt there was some small noticeable positive change. however, any early indication of improvement has now been lost. it is deeply concerning that the car may choose to go or not when trying to pull out into traffic. this happens extremely often - almost daily. while i selected a date of occurrence below, it was only to satisfy the form's requirements.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact originally purchased the vehicle used at off lease hyundai (7948 narcoossee rd, orlando, fl 32822). while driving at unknown speeds, the air bag indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (westside hyundai, 1672 cassat ave, jacksonville, fl 32210) where it was diagnosed that the air bag module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but an error message appeared regarding the side curtain air bags. after further diagnostic testing, it was found that the air bag was for a 2015 hyundai and was not communicating with the vehicle. the contact was informed that the repairs would not be covered due to not being original parts. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the vin was invalid. the failure mileage was approximately 21,000.

Dct transmission system causes the vehicle to buck, hesitate and shake when vehicle proceeds from a stop at traffic light or stop sign.

Problems with the dct transmission. vibration and choppy shifting from a stop or when accelerating from slow speed. at times the tucson will also surge suddenly ,for a second or two, when coming to a complete stop with foot on the brake, - at a stop sign, red light or pulling into a parking slot. could be potentially dangerous when turning left or when another vehicle is in front of me. taken in for servicing several times. told by auto dealer and hyundai customer service, that this is just how the dct works. nothing they can do about it. no re-calls or service bulletins that address this issue. hyundai case number 10748512, 11/6/17.

I had taken my tuscon in 3 different times for all the same issues every time (1) delayed acceleration from a complete stop while crossing oncoming traffic with my 2 yr old son in the car (2) not accelerating at all from a complete stop but the rpm's revving high before finally jerking into gear and taking off and (3) jerking when i am in traffic and i press the gas. all 3 times, the "repair" was explained to me as a "computer update". the car would drive fine for about a week, then the issues would resume. the service dept told me this is how the dct works. then i saw that there was finally a recall being issued and i thought "oh yay! they finally figured out what the problem was so i can take it in this one last time and i'll be good to go!" after only one day we were back to the same issues. the service dept once again said that "unfortunately, computer updates will be a normal thing for this dct system" are you freakin' kidding me?! this is not normal! you mean to tell me that every time my car starts stalling while i am crossing oncoming traffic, potentially causing an accident that could cause my son, myself or someone else serious injury, if not death, that i need to bring it in for a "computer update"?? they also suggested that i try driving it in sport mode all the time or using the manual shifter to see if that would help with the hesitation and/or stalling and jerking. if i wanted to shift, i would have bought a manual. when i press the gas, i want to go. i don't want to worry that this might the time that the transmission doesn't quite engage in time while i'm crossing traffic and something serious/fatal happens. i am extremely unhappy with this car, i am extremely unhappy with the dealership and their passive attitude towards this ongoing issue but most of all, i feel extremely unsafe in this vehicle and no one seems to be taking that seriously.

Bought the car at approx. 8k miles. now just over 18k miles, while on the highway, the car would not accelerate over 55mph, despite the rims revving to 5k-6k. then light came on saying transmission was overheating. stopped and sat for 5 min to get to go away. restarted and still took about 2-3 min to get car up to 75mph. in the city, multiple times while at stop light, car would not accelerate from stop. rpms would rev and rev, but no movement until after multiple tries. was told when purchased that this vehicle year had recall that was fixed, but when we put vin into nhtsa site, told it's not affected by recall. it's possible either the containment of the recall net was not wide enough, or the corrective action is not yet adequate. either way, my family's safety is at stake. i should be able to trust a new car to go when i prompt it to. transmission is very touchy in this eco model. i hope to see robust corrective action by hyundai, or a different,safer and more reliable power train utilized. otherwise, for safety, i should not need to keep this vehicle and hyundai needs to take it back. this type of issue could cause a very serious accident and i hope that more of these cars are not experiencing this issue.

While driving my tucson 1.4 t 2016 model, when accelerating car jumps and when you apply breaks to come to a stop....it starts making noise and jumping as if its going to stall. when turning to a street the other day, i applied the accelerator and the car would not move...oncoming traffic caught up with me and one idiot came within feet of t boning me. i pumped the accelerator and it finally move in a rapid manner and then started making metal sounds. i had my wife, son and my two granddaughters in the car...thought we would die. since leasing it march 2016 brand new, the dealer continues to claim it cannot reproduce the problems. yet when i go on sites in the internet there numerous complaints about this car. i am afraid that a serious accident will occur and i cannot get anybody to fix the car. please help. i am 72 years old and my wife is 57. we have two baby grandchildren 6 and 7, and my son is 16. the children belong to my oldest son and his wife. i have to drive my son to hs every day and am trying to teach him how to drive safely. we have come so close to getting hurt with the malfunctions of this car.

The car jerks when the engine runs after a half an hour. the steering wheels turns loud veering either hard left or right. the battery turn an alarm after two/three minutes.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to accelerate. the contact mentioned that the vehicle later started to accelerate independently. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was towed to jenkins hyundai of ocala (1602 sw college rd, ocala, fl 34471), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. a technician from the dealer drove the vehicle with the contact and experienced the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 9,000.

This vehicle has intermittent transmission problems when either starting or speeding up. aside from the dct lag issue, it may rev up to 4500 w/o moving from a stopped position with light accl pressure. it doesn't like to start moving below ~40f and acts jerkily. the 1.5-2 sec lag may, or may not, happen even after the 2 ecm fixes. it is unsafe to expect it to behave when trying to merge into heavy traffic as a result - you don't know if it will move or how fast, or when. to quote ralph nader, unsafe at any speed. it has happened repeatedly, though not predictably, since it was bought.

While at an intersection waiting to turn left, i proceeded to accelerate (car was in sport mode) into the left turn to move through the intersection on a green light before on-coming traffic approached. i requested significant accelerator pedal application to proceed through the turn, likely 3/4 throttle when suddenly the 7spd dual clutch transmission would not shift into 2nd gear. luckily i was through the intersection and turn and no longer in danger when this happened. the engine was hovering right around 6700rpm and appeared to be hitting a soft limiter and ultimately refused to shift. i left off the gas completely and proceeded to re-apply the throttle when finally the engine revs came back down and re-engage the next gear rather abruptly. after the incident the car appeared to run and shift normally without issue. there appears to be an on-going issue with intermittent transmission engagement with the tucson. i've visited the dealer documenting previous issues with a lack of acceleration and shifting, but hyundai does not address the problem because there is no current fix. the car has all current recalls and tsbs performed relating to the programming of the transmission.

After going from park to drive or when trying to accelerate from a stopped position, the vehicle fails to move when the accelerator is pushed. it will stall and has almost led to 2 rear end accident and one side impact accident as a result because it creates a serious safety issue when trying to enter traffic. at times the entire care will shake and the transmission will not shift properly or will not engage and recognize that it is in drive at all. the vehicle has been in the service department over 4 times and for more than 30 days without resolution in the first 6 months of owning the vehicle and less than 12,000 miles but the manufacturer and the dealer have not fixed the issue and say they can't because they cannot replicate the problem. this is a known recall and issue for this vehicle as i found out after some research and the problem is random and unpredictable. this problem occurs when the vehicle has been on a city street and have been stationary for a moment and then when trying to accelerate to drive forward or turn, the vehicle has no power and will not drive forward. the engine will rev up and never turns off, but the vehicle will not engage in drive. i have video of the issue occurring and can share if needed. i have shared the same information with the dealer, owner, and manufacturer without resolution.

Transmission computer reset recall - purchased the car in june 13, 2016. drove it to l.a. a few weeks and noticed accelration would become hesitant in traffic after 15-20 mins in slower traffic. problem was very pronounced in stop and go traffic of 15-20 travel times. so, tried to give enough space in between me and car ahead so that i wouldn't ride brake or inch forward. at scheduled services informed service tech about it and they said they would take a look. there was a recall campaign that addressed this issue and computer reset to handle transmission problem.in march/april 2017. still noticed the hesitation problem and noted this to tech at service appointments. oct 8, 3 sisters and niece went to apple hill and after 35 mins going uphill on stop and go traffic on windy road, transmission over heated and computer dashboard alerted me to pull over safely . i pulled car over to able apple acres farm and we let transmission cool for about 45 mins. when we got out the car it smelled horrible like burnt clutch smell. we got back in started it up and was going to go up the hill a mile. immediately burnt clutch smell was evident after 3-4 minutes and car was hesitant and lurching forward when i stepped on the gas. like the transmission was slipping. that when we all noticed the shuddering feeling when i would let of the brake to give it gas as the car would roll back slightly before the gear engaged. like the car was going to stall out like in a manual transmission car. very jerky. so, i made a turn to go back down the hill and the brakes were 2-4 seconds delayed. i felt like i was slamming on them. we headed home and the folsom outlets to let the transmission cool of for a few hours. made sure to turn off traction and eco hoping that would help. traffic was better as it appears transmission does like stop/go situations on inclines or level surfaces.

2016 hyundai tucson dual clutch transmission is still dangerous and unpredictable after i had the recall done related to this issue last year. below 25 mph, the transmission shudders, jerks and hesitates. there is also a loud clunking noise when accelerating at lower speeds. recently the vehicle failed to accelerate from a stop in traffic for 5 seconds when i pushed the gas pedal. the hyundai dealership told me there is no fix for this issue and that it's typical for a dct. i have driven other vehicles with dcts and they did not have these issues.

On my back from dropping kids at school, i tried to accelerate quickly as normal while stationary the engine seems to have lost power and i quickly remove my foot off the accelerator and apply the pressure again the car then picked up again, luckily the oncoming slowed down, it could be worse as i stood a risk of been t-boned, the first incident happened on the 19 of september 2017. the second incident happened twice today on the 28 of sep 2017 on my way to at the junction to join the main road while stationary, it lost power, again i could have been t-bone, second incident on my way from work. i am really worried about the safety when stationary.

The best car i ever owned was a 2001 hyundai santa fe. accordingly, when i was shopping for a new car in may 2016, i was looking forward to going back to hyundai and purchased my 2016 tucson. only synthetic oil has been used since purchase and all service below, except the 06/14/17 oil & filter change, has been done at the hyundai dealership service dept., 70+ miles away: 10/03/16 - the dct update/install/fix was 1st completed. the above update was completed as part of a regular service before i began to notice any problems. 02/20/17 - i'm not sure when i first detected a hesitation or lack of power on acceleration, but it must have been before this service date, as the documentation notes the dct update being completed a 2nd time. although sporadic, each time the hesitation occurs it can be dangerous, scary and very unnerving. equally unpredictable and unnerving is the resulting “lurch” forward when power returns. 04/12/17 - more work for the same hesitation issue 06/14/17 - regular service (oil & filter change) was performed at a local shop. 09/14/17 – returning to hyundai service department for this problem to be looked at for a 4th time. i tend to be a cautious driver & give myself plenty of room (rural community) when pulling out into traffic. this defect in the hyundai tucson presents two possible tragic scenarios. first & most obvious is being broadsided when pulling out, second is being rear-ended, when the person behind you is expecting forward motion. very unsafe car!!

Stalls completely accelerating from a stop, engine develops no power. reverse won't engage backing up on a slope. erratic inappropriate gear changes. shudders, vibrates on acceleration, and between gear changes. very hesitant downshifting after going around a corner.

Vehicle fails to move when the accelerator pedal is pushed, causing serious safety concerns when entering traffic. transmission at low speed causes the whole car to shake horribly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. after attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate and lost power. the vehicle then jerked forward. the vehicle was taken to shortline hyundai (100 havana st, aurora, co 80010) where the dealer stated that they updated the ecm software, which should repair the issue. the failure recurred several more times and the vehicle was taken back to shortline hyundai each time where the software was updated again; however, the failure continued. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided a case manager, who failed to assist. the vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system). the approximate failure mileage was 1,000. updated 11/01/17*lj

My tucson will randomly not accelerate when the gas pedal is pushed. i am constantly in fear to pull out in traffic because it frequently will not move and then will lurch forward into traffic. i have had a recall performed twice and the issue is still ongoing. the dealer stated they didn't know what was wrong. i am concerned for the safety of my family. in addition, this week the vehicle made a loud popping noise in the front end and now their is vibration in the steering and what feels like a wobble under the front pedals.

The transmission shudders and shifts in appropriately. when trying to accelerate the car will not, and leads to very dangerous situations in an intersection. it is as if the car either jumps/shudders or stalls when you hit the gas. therefore, oncoming traffic can hit you. most of the issues occur when beginning acceleration from a stop.

Intermittent acceleration issues. upon trying to accelerate from a stop or very slow roll, the car starts to go but will not accelerate or will shutter upon acceleration. this is a dangerous situation if one is trying to merge into traffic or cross an intersection. the transmission has been replaced but the problem continues.

Upon releasing the brakes after a stop, the vehicle starts to roll and immediately starts jerking violently while applying the throttle part way. on an incline, flat, or decline it doesn't matter. once the vehicle is in motion and picking up speed it seems to be okay. it just seems to occur from a stop or very low speed.

While driving in stop and go traffic such as a left turn or on the freeway at rush hour, my vehicle will completely cease to accelerate. you can audibly hear the clutches grinding instead of ticking as they used to as well. the dct seems to put the car in a neutral state upon stop and go, and, not move. this includes when i have been on the freeway in rush hour as well as i have been stranded in the middle of the intersection on a left hand turn and not been able to accelerate for at least 5 seconds. hyundai motor corp. of america states this is normal functioning for the vehicle and that people need to learn to use the dct. i am supposed to apparently get out of my car on the freeway and ask other drivers to please hold off from slamming into my back end as the dct takes 3-5 seconds extra to figure out how to accelerate in stop and go situations. i have had it into hyundai of avondale 1x, rodeo hyundai of surprise 2x, and, hyundai of peoria 1x for these issues. i am very afraid of this car and hyundai now that they have seen the car for repairs will no longer honor the warranty work. the service gm of hyundai peoria stated while on speaker with hyundai amusa that they are in fact seeing this issue weekly but, hyundai does not have a fix for it and they don't want to be involved with any possible arbitration at their dealership! i also had the vehicle inspected at a second opinion away from hyundai and have been told that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. hyundai of avondale tech experienced what i said was wrong with this death trap vehicle and it scared him. they actually apologized for having to give back my car and stop and paying for the rental. the dealerships are well aware that this is an issue and hyundai amcusa doesn't want to own up to it. will it take someone dying like myself before this is resolved?

Lack of professionalism and courtesy on hyundai's part to retract this vehicle is astounding. i'm unsure how there is a 5 star safety rating on this unsafe vehicle. hyundai has refused to repair my vehicle. every time it has been seen and "fixed" it comes back worse than it was before. the lag is substantial, it jerks constantly, i can't accelerate when already in motion or stopped in traffic, or even moving out of a parking stall. i am typically in the middle of an intersection when lagging and no acceleration occurs, and all too often i'm already in motion on the interstate and can no longer move. a light came on and said the transmission was overheated twice as a brand new vehicle just going 3mph. my car then died, luckily i was pulled over when i noticed the light. these constant issues i've been having have been since the date of purchase on july 8, 2016. it only had 50 miles on the vehicle at that time. i get regular maintenance and take care of this vehicle, but i can't handle the stress of driving it anymore! every time i submit a claim on here, no one reaches out to resolve this issue. i've spoken with hyundai national and regional offices, hyundai service locations, and the bbb. what will it take for you to see that this vehicle is a real danger, not only to me, but to everyone on the road!?!?!?!?!

Engin skips, surges, hesitates. on going since purchase

Dual clutch transmission, will not accelerate, pauses while stopped, in motion, in traffic, on street city and highway. there is no repair other than an update. hyundai refuses, yes refuses, to fix my car and provide a repair order. tried taking my car in for the umpteenth time. they will not provide me with a repair order because there is no repair for the dual clutch transmission. so when i filed with the bbb and with hyundai, hyundai refused to take my car back claiming i did not have any repair orders. hyundai locations such as edwards in iowa and woodhouse in omaha have not documented all of my cars issues nor have they any proof of my being there other than two times. i have taken my car in numerous times, well over 5 times anyway!! the bbb requires documentation of service, but i can't get ahold of the documentation because hyundai has not done their job to document my cars service. i'm growing extremely tired of hyundai and wouldn't wish this car on anyone! i still can't accelerate, my car broke down the other day, and nothing is getting better with being serviced. i'm a single parent working part time and going to school, i am tired of having to take this piece of crap in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While stopped with my foot on the break, i then put my foot on the accelerator, the tucson won’t move and the engine revs high without forward progress. this is a slam-dunk safety issue, and i expect a recall will be the result. it took several attempts plus moving the car into park and back to drive before it moved. ( about 30 seconds) once the car moved , i could smell the clutches burning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle failed to accelerate for three seconds. the failure recurred on multiple occasions. the vehicle was taken to rodeo hyundai in surprise, az where the dealer stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the vehicle was then taken to earnhardt hyundai in avondale, az where the dealer also stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the vehicle was then taken to larry h. miller hyundai peoria in peoria, az where the dealer also stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the approximate failure mileage was 3,822.

The 2016 hyundai tucson after the transmission recall, continues to have intermittent no acceleration from a stop / rolling stop. rpms will increase but it will be 3-5 seconds before the transmission engages when the issue does occur. the car then jolts forwards because of the high rpms. i have had multiple near misses due to this. this problem has the potential to be life threatening and is completely unsafe.

Have encountered several instances of dct not engaging after "creep" or "crawl" to a stop sign awaiting right-of-way to proceed. following "creep" and subsequent stop at sign, just enough propulsion is given to enter the intersection, and then dct disengages and high engine rpms with no forward propulsion, whatsoever. has very nearly caused a broad-side accident on a number of occasions. this condition is very unsafe for city and hwy stop-and-go traffic (and entering any sort of roadway). has happened both in situations when turning from a stop and proceeding foward from a stop. each time is just enough foward propulsion to allow vehicle to enter the roadway broadside to oncoming traffic, and then complete loss of forward propulsion leaving vehicle stationary for 10, 15, up to 20 seconds with no forward propulsion to move out of the way of oncoming cross-traffic.

Issue with the new 7 speed dct. transmission revved and would not engage after driving 60 miles on highway, some stop-and-go traffic, in 101 degree heat and sitting for 45 minutes. in order for me to get it to engage, i went into manual mode, noticed it was in 2nd gear from start, downshifted to 1st gear, and was able to work thru the gears to get it going and eventually put it back into automatic.

Acceleration issues from stop. engine will go to high rpm's without moving the vehicle. issues seen with vehicle leaving 1st gear, vehicles rolls in to intersection and loses power. vehicle has hard shift issues and often seems to be "stuck in gear" for too long.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle failed to move forward. there were no warning lights illuminated. the failure recurred randomly. the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the cause of the failure could not be determined. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 7,000. the vin was not available.

Brought brand new august 2015. many times the car lurches into gear. several dct transmission hesitates noticeable when accelerating from dead stop. car has 16,000 miles (but started around 1000 miles), . dct clutches periodically when at a dead stop will not engage, but once rpm's drop it will start to move, but prior it's like the car is in neutral.you have to wait until the rpm's come down and push accelerator again and then it will engage. of course the dealer can not duplicate, so they say there is nothing wrong.. many times i was almost hit when turning due to the car not moving.. very dangerous and someone is going to get hurt or die!!! will hyundai do something then, because its seems that after 167 complaints they still don't care to do a thing about it!! shame on you! since about 12,000 miles the car has been making a hissing type noise when accelerating, brought to dealer, they said its normal & that its the fuel pump finally being broke into the engine and that is very normal..they also lied on my work order that they compared that noise to a like vehicle with the same amount of miles and it did the same thing, however they told me on the phone that they would find me the same car with the same miles to show me its normal. well that didn't happen, so they lied on the work order to cover their butts and to work against me when i contact lemon law attorneys. who the heck are they kidding?!! brought to another mechanic & he said that is not the problem at all, but can't seem to figure out what it is..so im spending money to have them try & diagnosis it even tho i have a warranty. tires (i think) causing the car to shimmy shake all the time at high speeds. they have been rotated & balanced 5 times & the passenger seat shakes like crazy, but again that is all normal they say. shame on hyundai for doing nothing about all these complaints!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On 2 occasions i have come to a complete stop at a stop sign and at a red light. when it was time to go i pressed on the accelerator, the engined revved, but the car did not move. i had to put the car into park then drive several times before the car eventually moved. the car was put into the shop on 8/1/2016. the issue was not able to be duplicated, but the service manager called hyundai tech and was told to perform a relearn. when i picked up my car, i asked about the service manager about the issue giving the numerous internet complaints. he stated it is a known issue and currently hyundai does not have a fix. i am concerned about my safety while driving this vehicle giving the transmission issues. i am hoping something can be done in asap to prevent any serious outcomes due to the dangerousness of these transmissions.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled and lunged forward. the failure occurred twice without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the contac was advised not to drive the vehicle because it was unsafe. the vehicle was kept by the dealer. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 4,400.

Purchased this vehicle 2 months ago and on 3 occasions within the last week when i have been at a complete stop, i step on the gas but the transmission does not engage, the vehicle rolls back and the rpm's just rev up. took the vehicle to the dealership was told there is no known issue with the power train other than a software update. was told our vehicle was already updated and not needed. explained what was occurring and was told this was normal due to the eco dual clutch system. i told the service person that the engine reving but rolling backwards is not normal and i was afraid to drive it. left the dealership and within 2 blocks it happened again at an intersection where i could have been hit! what will it take for hyundai to fix or even acknowledge this problem. each time this occurred i was driving on a city street (not freeway, too afraid to drive on the freeway with this issue). vehicle has always been sluggish when accelerating but this new issue of not engaging and rolling backwards is just the last few days.

Less than two months after i bought the car, with maybe 4000 miles on it, as i tried to back out of my driveway one morning, the car would not move. the engine would rev and the rpms would climb, it was only after several times of putting the car back in park and then reverse did it finally engage. after that, when driving slowly as in bumper to bumper traffic, upon acceleration it would seem to hesitate then lurch. the next time such an incident occurred was a couple of months later. i was stopped at a signal and when the light changed and i tried to accelerate, the car did not move, again. it took several times of putting it in park and back to drive before it would engage. it has happened several times since then. i find this dangerous and downright scary. luckily, no one has rear ended me or worse. i have taken the car to two different dealerships. they say they can find nothing wrong and that no trouble codes show up. i see there are multiple complaints filed on your sight about this same problem, so something is wrong, dangerously so! would you please check into this for us.

Please refer to attached pdf

I had a half dozen incidents where the dct either does not engage or only moves the car very slowly which indicates that it is slipping badly. i also have had 2 incidents where the car accelerated at first and then stopped accelerating as i was trying to make a left hand turn from a stop sign. the speed limit is 40 mph there and it left me wondering whether i would into the right hand lane before i had an accident, i have driven this car 1500 miles on local rural and city streets since i purchased the car in april 2016. i have had the vehicle back to the dealer twice with the latest being told that hyundai is working on a dct software upgrade to be available in 3 to 6 weeks.

This suv stalls & hesitates when accelerating from a stand still, in motion & all other times. currently have 4500 miles on it, & this problem started right after i first purchased it. this is a dangerous situation when merging into traffic. push the accelerator down, it revs up, but goes no where.the transmission (dct) is not working right, & the recall to update the software did not fix anything. please hyundai fix this problem before serious accidents happen.

2016 hyundai tucson started having accelerator issues. after you take off from a complete stop you just get no power and this is when the person behind has already taken off or your in the middle of an intersection i have had many drivers slam on their breaks due to my car not accelerating. 188 claims on 2016 hyundai tucson on auto.cliams website 7/11 took car into dearlership 7/12 picked car up from dealership, told me they made an adjustment 7/14 still not fixed same problem, took back to dealership , technician said it needed a part that would have to be ordered- would overnight for 7/18 delivery 7/19 took car back in. dealership knew nothing about a part, said that hyundai was aware of issue and did not have a fix. service dept said i should drive in 'sport' mode and it would happen less 7/19 called hyundai consumer affair and put in claim. i was told someone would get in touch with me 3-5 days. called every day and was told the same thing. also was told that it was given priority and sent up to region. 7/28 received a call and was told they had good news that hyunai had a fix 5-7 weeks . really i was to drive a unsafe car for 5-7 weeks 7/29 started process claim for hyundai to buy back the 2016 hyundai tucson - was told it's a 8 week process

I was stopped at a stoplight, but when the light turned green the car wouldn't go forward. instead the engine just revved and rpms went up, but no movement forward and no warning lights or sounds came on. i immediately flipped on my emergency flashers and tried several times to restart and go again, but two cars crashed into each other next to me as they tried to go around me. i sat in a panic in traffic with people honking at me and flipping me off. the car wouldn't drive forward, but it would go in reverse so as the cars crashed into each other and were coming towards me i dodged getting hit by a few inches and drove slowly down the street in reverse and into a nearby parking lot in reverse. then i parked and had the car towed to a dealer. in the parking lot i took video evidence of the car not driving forward, but able to drive in reverse so i do have video proof. the car has about 5,500 miles on it and already had an ecm reset / active transmission relearn done at about 1,000 miles back in january when the car was lagging the first month i owned it. my car is still at the dealership and for a correction they did another active transmission relearn/programming reset and say the car works and is fine now and ready to pick up. i'm not comfortable driving a car that’s been in twice for transmission problems and had the same correction done. i don’t feel confident this won’t happen again and most online reports i read with the same problem and correction say it happens over and over again. i filed a complaint with hyundai customer care. i’ve also read there is a part that may be replaced as a fix (fp number 41470-2d011 actuator assy-clu) and possibly a recall coming up, but the dealer said i need to wait for the recall. it would be good to expedite any fix and repairs before more accidents happen, driving this car is not safe for me or other cars around me.

On the evening of june 16, 2016, i was on my way home from work. i was sitting at a stop light at the intersection of two major roads and was the first car in line at the light. when the light turned green, i pressed the accelerator to proceed through the intersection and the car refused to move. for a moment i though maybe some how i had hit the shifter and put the car in neutral but i was still in drive with the rpms up to over 3500. took a minute to put the car in park and then back to drive. after about 30 seconds, the car finally began to move forward and accelerate but the rpms were still high and the car was obviously not wanting to go. the car started smelling hot and finally proceeded. scared me to death. i called the dealer right as it happened but the service department was closed. the next morning i was at the service department before they even opened. they kept my car for the day and gave me a loaner. i was told they could not recreate the issue and they "reset the shift points". i said i didn't feel safe in the vehicle even after that. they basically said there was nothing more they could do. at this time the vehicle had about 1800 miles on it. at 3800 miles, i took the car in for its first oil change and mentioned the same transmission issue to a different service advisor and said it was still shifting rough and just not smooth. he told me hyundai is working on a fix but until then, i still think this vehicle is unsafe.

I bought this car in march of 2016 with about 20 miles on it. after around 1000 miles the transmission started getting hot and would stall out. i would have to wait five to six minutes for me to restart the car. i have sent it to the service center to be checked out and they say there is nothing wrong with the transmission. that it is normal for this to happen when you are in traffic. i live in new jersey thats the norm for us here. this has been a constant headache. i even stalled out in the middle of the lincoln tunnel. this has happened to me more then i can count. i spoke to hyundai care center and they have brushed me over to region. now i am waiting for region to call my case number is 9448240 and i haven't heard from them. this car is unsafe. also when you want to go to the next lane it is slow to start. an accident waiting to happen. it reves up and don't move. there are so many issues with this car. i've taken pictures of the transmission warning lights and telling me to pull to the side safely. how can i do that in the middle of the lincoln tunnel. i haven't heard from them and now i have about 10000 miles on the car. i am afraid of this car but i have no choice but to drive it cause i need to go to work. i need help here. the date i put in is the last incident. it got hot then stalled i waited the usual 5 to 6 minutes then started it again i just drove a mile and it happened again. i'm getting really frustrated with a car that i am scared of.

Intermittently when car is taking off from a standstill, the engine will rev but no power is transmitted to the wheels. this has resulted in me being stuck at traffic lights unable to move. i will shift into park and back into drive to make sure i have the appropriate transmission selection. after about 15-20 seconds of repeatedly stepping on and off the gas, the clutch will slowly catch on and the vehicle will begin moving and resume normal operation. this issue has been impossible to replicate on command which is troublesome when consulting the dealer. it has happened to me three times over the past three months in both cold and warm engine states. usually presents within 10 minutes of starting the car.

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson limited which has a major issue with the lack of acceleration from stop. when trying to move onto a highway/road from a light or stop sign when you step on the gas nothing happens then all of a sudden it lurches ahead. this is a very unsafe situation. when you step on the gas you expect the vehicle to respond and it does not. also going through a parking lot and not really accelerating at all it lurches and backs off and lurches and backs off. then when you do step on the gas it almost quits then lurches. i'm told its caused by the manual celinoid which causes the automatic transmission to engage. at the present time i'm not driving the vehicle and have a loaner. hyundai has sent me paperwork to buy back the vehicle but then i have nothing with which to purchase another vehicle.

I was out of town for a tennis tournament driving 4 women and with another group in another car. driving along on a city street, and i braked, when i went to accelerate the car would not move. i put it in park, then drive again, nothing but revving. turned it off and back on several times, still nothing. luckily my friend was able to park behind me with her hazards on too, to prevent people from rear-ending me. the car would go in reverse but not forward. we pushed it out of the road into a parking lot and called roadside assistance. i had to have it towed to a hyundai dealer, and after about an hr or so they said they reset the computer and it should be fine. i had already had the software update. i got the car in oct 2015, and at the time of the incident it had 9800 miles on it. i am afraid to drive it now, it gets sluggish or revs at various times, which makes me think it will happen again. how long before hyundai does something about this? otherwise, i love the car, just scary knowing it could just stop with no warning.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the vehicle was slow to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. also, the vehicle stalled several times. the vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to replicate and diagnose the failure. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided no repair solution. the approximate failure mileage was 100.

Brought brand new jan. 1, 2016. many times the car lurches into gear. several times the car will not accelerate from a stop. once, car wouldn't start. dealer has had car twice (once for a week). no engine code. blamed after market remote start, and removed it. obviously, not the issue, as it has happened again twice in the past 5 days. this is very unpredictable and extremely dangerous, especially turning left in front of traffic. i have totally lost confidence in the safety of this car.

On several occasions around town or commuting to work this car has not responded when pressing the accelerator. from a dead stop or when moving slowly the response is unpredictable. it happens randomly. this week the car’s transmission warning light came on while going up an incline on a common curvy northern california road. it was a cool evening. this is a paved road. no other cars having a problem. i had to stop the car and restart it. then while accelerating the car just stopped. no power, nothing, dead in the road. had to wait and restart. this is very unnerving for any car and for a brand new vehicle is simply unacceptable. i have two little kids. i won’t drive them anywhere in this car. it’s not safe. i've driven motorcycles, manuals, automatics all kinds of makes and models over the years. the dead in the water feeling is the scariest, especially when making a turn from a stop to merge into traffic. this needs to be fixed or hyundai needs to buy these cars back.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while at a stop light, the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. the contact switched the gear shifter stick into park, neutral, and back into the drive position before the vehicle would accelerate. the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. the contact mentioned that the vehicle had a delayed response when accelerating prior to the failure. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 1,550.

Multiple experiences after being stopped (red light, stop sign, fast food drive thru ) with the transmission remaining in drive and brakes engaged, when trying to move forward, the transmission doesn't engage. rpm's increase, but no movement in the vheicle. then it lurches forward. potential danger in a) being rear ended at an intersection light because the car will not move forward b) sudden lurching could potentially rear end the vehicle in front if i don't keep plenty of room. there was a software to fix this issue ((st.lf.usa.e478.150901: sep 1 2015 12:00am). but it hasn't. i've experienced it 3 times today. taken to the dealer on 7/2/16, they could not duplicate the problem. told me that my gear oil was low and refilled. but am still experiencing difficulties.

I bought this car in december and this problem started awhile ago. when at a stop its like the car is in neutral and rpm's rev but no acceleration. it is very scary to be in traffic and your car has no power. i put it in park and then shift back to drive hoping the car will accelerate. finally when it does it jerks suddenly and then you have to brake in order not to hit the car in front of you. driving this car now makes me very stressed and i hope i will not get rear-ended or worse.

Transmission fails to properly engage causing rollback, stalling, or severe loss of power in situations such at a stop light, stop sign, hill, and even turning left into oncoming traffic where power is needed to safely cross the intersection. one instance involved acceleration onto the interstate while trying to merge and the transmission acted like it was in neutral causing no acceleration. other vehicles honked and swerved to avoid and luckily did not cause an accident. another instance involved turning left at an intersection where there was sufficient time to turn but due to the transmission behaving as though it was in neutral again, there was nearly a collision causing a lot of anxiety to further drive the vehicle. these are just two instances out of the many where you can notice that the transmission does not behave normally causing irregular shifting, unexpected power surges, and stalls that have nearly caused accidents.

After starting from a stop, the dual clutch transmission (dct) does not always shift into gear. instead it stays disengages and the engine revs as if in neutral. very dangerous when pulling into traffic. car was returned to local hyundai dealership, and has been in shop since. we started the hyundai buyback program to see if we can get a refund as we do not feel safe driving this car with our children.

Transmission completely failed in drive. this is a known condition to hyundai, diagnosed as dct failure. hyundai has no known fix. car was 6 weeks old with 740 miles on it. cat was bought new with 65 miles. dct failed in middle of intersection leaving wife and child stranded in dangerous traffic situation. now at dealership awaiting anything from hyundai. this car was almost not sold to us due to a active recall for the hood latch, but was happily sold with a known defective transmission issue.

Last week while driving this vehicle, i was stopped at a red light on university pkway,heading to utc mall, in sarasota florida. when it was time to move the car would not! when i took my foot off the brake it would not move! it would not roll forward, it would not do anything!! the rpm's jumped on gauges and ac cut out. i shut off the ac, but the same issue was repeating itself. i also tried a different drive mode. nothing worked, until i applied max acceleration, as i had to get out of the intersection, somehow, at which point the tires squealed, and the car took off! i found a parking space and turned the car off. i called my service advisor at the lakewood store in bradenton and he told me to have it towed in. i chose to drive it in. lakewood service techs, in bradenton, fl. performed hyundai multi point inspection and i was told, and it is written on my service order, "tech unable to duplicate issue. no issue found. vehicle functioning as designed!" i have contacted consumer affairs, per my service advisor's recommendation, and his service manager, and i have a case number, however i have not heard back, at this writing. i left the car there! i will not drive this, again! that was two weeks ago! i've also been in communication with the operations manager for the gettel hyundai dealerships in florida, and he informed me yesterday, that i would be hearing from hyundai motors in atlanta, ga. with a resolution. i did not! this car is unsafe, and i want them to buy it back! it only has 2300 miles on it, purchased 4 months ago! i have googled this vehicle, and have found many complaints, of the same nature. i would like to put this nightmare behind me, and be able to go and purchase another vehicle. i cannot, until this one is resolved, and i am reimbursed. i am paying 400.00 a month, currently to hyundai motor corp., for a vehicle i cannot drive!

Unable to move from a stopped position with the car in drive. dual clutch accelerator issue with this model with no current fix.

Dct transmission hesitates noticeable when accelerating from dead stop. car has 13,000 miles, purchased new my me. i am retired and only driver. dct clutches disengage periodically when at a dead stop will not engage again once brake is released and start accelerating, like car is in neutral. you have to set and wait and push accelerator up to 3,000 rpm then let off sometime-clutches engage and it jumps forward and you have to hit brake quickly or will have an accident. this happens periodically but not routinely enough for dealer to reproduce. it has almost jumped into oncoming traffic with me several times. damn scary to drive.

On july 25, 2016, took vehicle in for hood latch recall with 1332 miles on the vehicle. while at the dealership service center, they performed a software update. this update created the instrument panel too illegible - the instrument cluster was defected. the part was ordered and it was to take 30 days to be delivered. fortunately, it took 10 days. picked up the vehicle on 8/4/16 after work, drove less then 1 mile came to a stop light once it turned green the vehicle would not drive. being in the center lane of the highway with flashers on, on coming vehicles just missed slamming into the rear. finally got it back to the dealership, they have indicated it is the dual clutch issue. this is very unsafe vehicle to drive since you would not know when it would just stop shifting and driving. have registered a complaint with hyundai motors as the service department does not know when the vehicle will be repaired. thank the lord no one was killed this time!

This has occurred on multiple occasions. after coming to a complete stop at a stop sign, traffic light or turn lane, the vehicle will, on occasion, not move forward when depressing the accelerator pedal. the engine will rev high, 5000 rpm but the vehicle remains stationary for multiple seconds. on one occasion the vehicle had to be turned off and back on before the vehicle would move. on another occasion the vehicle was revving very high and suddenly engaged while lurching forward uncontrollably. this happens while the vehicle in drive. it happens sporadically.

The vehicle was parked for 8+ hours (nice and cool - no hot transmission). i started it and drove 1/4 of a mile to a stop light. as soon as the light went green, i pressed the accelerator, and the vehicle would not move! the rpms were going up into the 4,000 range, and it would not send any power to the wheels. it behaved as if it had the clutch 99% depressed, almost as if it was in neutral. i had to put my hazard lights on as full-speed traffic was bearing down upon me. i tried to switch it into manual mode, but it ignored my choice. i then moved it into park, and back to drive, to no avail. still, it would not transmit power to the wheels. after about 60 seconds of being hung out to dry, with traffic going around me, and being fearful of someone rear-ending me at full speed, it decided to apply a very small amount of power (like maybe 10%), at very high rpms (4-5k). even with gentle acceleration, it very sluggishly moved along, first at 10 mph, then 15 mph, etc., slipping the clutch the entire way. after about 2 miles, the transmission returned to normal. the video posted by another user is exactly what happened to me. exceptions: temperature 101, cruise off, eco off, 7/27/15 @ 4:15 pm est. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcvtr_zcyrs

My brand new car, 2016 hyundai tucson limited turbo, purchased in march 2016, is causing a life threatening hazard. multiple times, although sporadic, my car will not move when i press on the gas pedal after being a stop light or stop sign. i have taken my car to the dealer and because the problem is not duplicating itself to the service technician they are not fixing the problem. today, july 27, 2016, another driver nearly ran in the back of my car as they were going full speed and i guess they anticipated that would move upon the light turning green; i press the gas all the way to the floor and the engine revved but the car did not move. i do not want to end up in a tragic accident or be a victim of road rage because the problem is not being duplicated at the time i take it in to service. i searched for this problem online and there are multiple exact complaints voiced about this same modeled car. i love my life and do not want to take chances in this car. i don't know what else to do. can you direct me?

Standing at red light with foot on brake pedal. when light change to green, i tok foot of brake and stept on gas pedal. the engen started to race but car would not move. after severel seconds and cars behind me honking their horn, car would lurch forward and slowely gain speed. i was going strait forward so i did not cut anyone off. if i had been making a left hand turn on this two way street, i mostlikely would have hit someone or they would have hit me. bringing car to island hyundai on staten island n.y. tomorrow .

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the vehicle experienced stalling when shifted into eco drive or sport mode. in addition, there was an abnormal noise. the failures occurred without warning. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the dual control transmission clutch overheated. the vehicle was not repaired; however, the contact was given a handout to safely operate through the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 900.

At stops on city streets the transmission does not always engage and move forward. on multiple occasions the vehicle has rolled backwards up to 3 ft. before transmission engaged and moves forward. additionally the car attempts to stall after backing out and shifting to drive.

From a stationary start the vehicle rpms rise but does not always move forward. on several occasions the tucson has rolled backwards up to several feet from a stop before engaging and moving forward. can't rely on it when turning left across traffic. no issues on freeways, only from stops on city streets.

Pulling into traffic and rpms went to 5500 but car would barely move. transmission would not shift up. turned off and on twice and car worked. this is the third time it has happened but was super dangerous pulling out in traffic - barely avoided being hit.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. the contact stated that the forward collision avoidance system did not function as designed. the contact stated that the vehicle was supposed to chime with a warning indicator stating that the sensor was obstructed. after manually blocking the sensor, it did not function. the vehicle was taken to the dealer three times, but the failure could not be diagnosed due to no error codes. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 3,113. updated 09/23/16*lj *cn

The dct transmission on this vehicle randomly stops propelling the car forward. although initially the car refused to move forward while at a stop, i have had several recent incidents where the dct transmission "dropped" out of gear while traveling at 70 mph. i was unable to get the transmission to re-engage until i managed to pull over to the side of the road - and restart the vehicle. this has happened ~10 times since i purchased the vehicle in april 2016. it now has 9400 miles. i have taken the car to my local dealer - and they reported "no problem found." they recommended that i no longer operate the vehicle in "eco" mode, and not do "aggressive" driving. this problem continues whether it is in eco mode or not -- and my driving style is far from aggressive. losing power at high speed creates a potential dangerous situation, especially when it happened at passing speeds. i cannot consistently re-create the problem - but it's definitive a software/hardware issue with the control of the dct transmission.

The car randomly does not shift into first gear when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. my husband and i had been noticing that the car would sometimes lag when attempting to accelerate from stopped and then jump forward. we also noticed similar issues when the automatic transmission is changing from first to second gear and second to third gear. last week, my husband and i were entering a main road from a parking lot. when my husband released the break and stepped on the gas pedal, the car slowly rolled forward into the road, but did not accelerate even when my husband pushed the gas to the floor and the car revved. the first gear did not engage. my husband had to turn off the car and restart the engine in order to get the car to move. we took it to the hyundai dealership for repair. they claimed to clean some contacts and update the software and said that this fixes the problem, which was a known issue. the next day, we were once again entering a road from a parking lot, and the same issue occurred. we took it back to hyundai and the manager said that this is a known defect with the dual clutch transmission of this model of car and that they had already performed “software updates” on approximately 70 cars at their dealership and only just realized the day before that this doesn’t fix anything. he said that the car was not safe to drive, hyundai does not currently know how to fix the issue, and that they would give us a loaner car while hyundai engineers work on the problem. he said they may have a solution in a few weeks. in the meantime, he claimed that their dealership was no longer selling these vehicles. these cars are a safety hazard and it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. they all need to be recalled immediately.

Leased vehicle on 7/18/16. noticed slight hesitation during acceleration shortly after taking possession of vehicle. on 7/28/16, i was in stop and go traffic on freeway going around curve. traffic finally picked up speed. when i released my foot from the brake and stepped on the gas, the car wouldn't move and the rpm's were all over the place. i was panicking, fearful that i was going to be rear ended at any moment. i continued to press down on the accelerator, praying that it wouldn't rocket forward. it took approximately 20 to 25 seconds for the vehicle to move at all and finally kick into gear. i am totally traumatized by this situation and cannot even fathom putting my family in this vehicle.

Parking vehicle at my apartments when the accerlater just took on its own. it cause me to have an accident. had turn key off and hit the buliding. it was stationary. just parking on a flat parking area

First incident: put car in reverse, pushed accelerator, and car would not move but accelerated to 4000 rpm. second incident: backed out of parking space into traffic, put car in drive, would not accelerate, rams rose over 6000, switched from park to drive numerous times with no results. switched i to sport mode and dropped into 1st gear and got car moving. third incident was same as incident 2 but car would only move less than 10 mph in very high rpms. restarted, but still didn't work. was told by hyundai the first time it was how i drive. they now admit to a problem that might be fixable 30 days from now.getting a runaround from dealer and this problem is documented all over the internet.

Went to a hyundai dealership to buy the hyundai santa fe model. they didn't have one in stock but told me that the hyundai tucson model was just like the santa fe but a smaller version. i got the tucson vehicle and in 2 days the air conditioner only blew hot air while on the highway. when i called the hyundai service agent i was told to only use the air conditioner on the lowest fan. if i put it on a higher setting it will freeze up and blow only hot air. it was 95 out side. later i came to a stop and when i stepped on the gas the engine revved up but the car would not go forward. i let off on the gas and tried again. the engine again revved up for about 6 seconds then the car lurched forward. the next day i had parked on a small incline. when i went to leave i: put my foot on the brake - released the parking brake - put it into drive and stepped on the gas. the engine revved up but did not go forward, instead it rolled backwards about 6 to 12 inches then it popped into gear and lurched forward. every time i drove the car i had problems with that hyundai tucson. i felt unsafe and was worried that there would be an accident with the car acting like it did. took the car to the dealership and they could not find anything wrong with the car. i looked on line and found hundreds of reviews of this vehicle all stating the same problems i was having. so, i traded in my 6 day old tucson for a santa fe - and i am very happy now. the tucson i felt was the most unsafe and unreliable vehicle that i have ever owned or driven. no one at the dealership told me about these known problems and/or issues with the duel transmission system. all i can say is this car is a potential life threatening vehicle and if hyundai does not take care of these issues then there is a high probability of fatalities occurring.

This issue has only happened while driving on a city street. as i accelerate from a standing stop the engine will rev up to match the accelerator petal but the transmission will not engage. i let off the petal and attempt to move again with not luck. i shift the vehicle into neutral then back into drive with the same results. after the third or forth attempt the vehicle will start to move slowly then accelerate rapidly as the transmission fully engages. this is a 7 month old vehicle with 13k miles and this issue was first noticed at about the 10k mark. this issue was brought to the dealers attention who informed me that this was know issue with the tuscon with the new 1.6 turbo and 7 speed dual clutch transmission. the dealer followed the mfg advice to reset the ecm (engine control module) and the tcm (transmission control module) this was done and within 100 miles for the reset the issue was back and even worse. the vehicle is no longer safe to operate because of the randomness of the issue so the vehicle was left at the dealer on 7-26-2016 awaiting an answer from hyundai on a permanent fix. as of 7-26-2016 no update or even acknowledgement of the issue has been received by the dealer or the owner. a complaint was filed with hyundai on 7-23-2016 and the owner is still awaiting a call back from a representative of hyundai america.

Numerous visits to a service department with no results. no movement from a stop, rpms revved upwards to 6000, finally screeched across the intersection. total unsafe vehicle to drive. something needs to be done.

I purchased this vehicle in jan 2016 and have less than 2000 miles on the vehicle. i am having dct transmission issues. had noticed that on several occasions the vehicle is very sluggish and has some difficulty accelerating from a complete stop and at times it lurches forward. this is an intermittent and ongoing issue, but very troublesome, none the less. this occurs during normal in town traffic and especially going up hills from a complete stop. there have also been issues in traffic where it accelerates unexpectedly. i have taken the vehicle into the dealer on two occasions in a seven day period, after deciding that this is not safe to drive at times. when i made the initial appt the receptionists stated that there have been several vehicles in for this issue. the initial time at the dealer, they completed the latch recall and reset the computer to relearn the system, hoping that would be the saving grace. driving down the road a couple of days later and the sound was so loud while driving, that i pulled over and the sound died down at bit. made another appointment to take in the vehicle the following monday, i was told that they were not able to recreate the issue and the service manager was not sure what was going on. it's very frustrating, because you have to take time off work to go back and forth to the dealer to hear that nothing is wrong. the dealer acts like they have never heard of the concern. i was also told that it's the design of the clutch that gives drivers the sluggish feel. i decided to come back to hyundai to purchase a vehicle and i deeply regret that decision.

It doesn't always go. you push the gas it revs up and then doesn't move. or moves incredibly slow. not all the time but not at good times either. usually happens after coming to a complete stop or if you'd slowed down and go to accelerate. started about a week after i bought it and the vehicle is not more than 15 days old. very terrifying went to dealer and they act as if they are not even aware of this problem

Shortly after departing for work in the morning hours and while traveling on city streets, i noticed a problem with the acceleration of the car following a brief stop at a stop sign. the car was moving, although in a very sluggish and unresponsive manner when depressing the gas pedal. it seemed as though the car was in the wrong gear and struggling to gain momentum. i tried to trouble shoot the problem as i was looking for a open place to pull over to the curb and i switched into manual mode while still in motion to see what gear the display would show... i was surprised to see that the "d" remained even though i tried several times to verify the active gear through several cycles of slight acceleration and deceleration. it seemed as though the dct was confused and unable to properly accelerate the vehicle. this is clearly an unsettling and unpredictable safety concern and problem that needs to be addressed with the highest priority.

After installing a new hood latch under the recall. the dealership installed the dashboard software upgrade. the incorrect software update for the dash assembly was installed. it seems that the company hyundai put in charge for the software, failed to update the software and it could not tell the diff. between the 2 diff. styles of dash assemblies. as of the 27th of july, the dash will not display anything.

Transmission not providing power to the wheels from a standing stop. the engine accelerates, but the car does not move. first instance was trying to turn from a stop. second instance was backing out of a parking spot. reverse worked, car stopped drive. third instance was after starting the car and placing it in drive. intermittent problem that was duplicated at the dealership service department. this is extremely dangerous when entering traffic or turning in front of oncoming traffic. two instances of being stopped for 15 to 20 seconds. the occurrence at the dealership lasted about 30 minutes. hyundai usa is aware of the problem.

After coming to full stop and subsequently trying to proceed the dual clutch does not engage.this can result in possible accidents including caught in intersection turning left or being rear-ended.

Intermittent issues with transmission. we receive messages stating the transmission is overheated. we have also experienced high rpms with no forward or reverse motion when in drive and reverse. the transmission will not engage and move the vehicle. this has happened on inclines and within stop and go traffic. this is a safety concern because we can't depend on forward or reverse motion when in drive and reverse.

Vehicle fails to move and/or accelerate when pushing the gas pedal or it moves in a very "jerky" manner. i do mostly city driving. this happens randomly and after i have come to a complete stop, usually at a stop light or stop sign. happened once after i filled up the car with gas. at that time the engine had been off. so after i am stopped, and the light turns green, i hit the gas. the engine revs and the tach can hit 4000rpms but i either don't move or move a matter of inches. usually lasts 20 - 30 seconds. last weekend it was 45 seconds. (it is as if the car is in park, which it is not). eventually the car moves. first started at about 6400 miles; i now have 7500 on it and it seems to be occurring more frequently. it has happened twice while backing up as well. i took it to the dealer and they said they did a software update. they said it is just the way this car runs. (they also mentioned they have started getting complaints like mine with this model car.) the update did nothing. please look into this situation. i am afraid of causing an accident. *bf

I was at a traffic light on a city street waiting for the light to turn green. when the light turned green i depressed the gas pedal and my car barely moved. the rpm's rev'd up but the car was barely moving. i thought i was in neutral at first but was not. i kept hitting the gas trying to get power to the car to get through the intersection. cars behind me were beeping. the car finally found a gear and continued on. that was scary. if i were making a left turn someone could have been seriously injured or even worse! i am afraid to drive this car now. this seems to be a growing issue with owners of this vehicle. i believe it has something to due with the dual clutch transmission. i have contacted hyundai corporate and the dealership. i want to help get the word out to escalated the fix for this issue or a resolution.

Dct problems: purchased tucson eco in april 2016. currently 1350 miles and car stalls, creeps up, doesn't move at stop/go, and unresponsive. also high revs/low mph. major dct product failure. dealership ran gds scan tool and can't duplicate problem. they're aware of problem and cannot do anything unless corporate has a programming update. car creeps up at drive thru line when foot released from brake pedal. dangerous and unsafe at intersection, esp when you have to make a sharp left turn. rpm revs high, car unresponsive. filed complaint with hyundai consumer affairs. they played dumb and was told that's how the dct behaves and get used to it. waiting for hyundai investigation

While vehicle was stationary, waiting to make a left turn on an inclined surface, i waited for oncoming traffic to clear so i could make the turn. once traffic cleared, i tried to accelerate, but the vehicle would not move forward. in fact, the vehicle rolled back about three feet before i realized what was going on (the driver behind me laid on the horn too, thank goodness). the transmission indicator was in "d" (drive) but the vehicle had zero motive power. the engine tachometer was reading as high as 6,500 rpms but the vehicle remained still, and would not move under its own power. despite multiple attempts to engage the transmission (park, then drive, then park, then drive), the vehicle remained stalled in traffic. ultimately, drivers of the two vehicles behind me helped to push the car across two lanes of traffic into a parking lot. the problem remained. after finally giving up, and shutting the car off and waiting approximately 20 minutes, i was able to drive the vehicle to my home, approximately 15 miles away. i came home to do some research, only to find that there are many, many complaints on the 1.6 liter turbo version of this vehicle, most arising from the dual-clutch transmission (dct). i have had the vehicle for four months, and i now wish that i had done more research prior to my purchase. i will not be driving this vehicle until a proper remedy, replacement or repair can be made. summary: sudden and complete loss of motive power.

I purchased my 2016 hyjndai tucson new and in less than a year it has been sent to the local hyundai dealership via tow truck. each time is the same issue, the vehicle while in drive will not move forward while the accelerator is pressed. the rpms will react to the accelerator, but the vehicle will not move. first, hyundai deal said it was the dct needing update. second, there was no evidence once it arrived at dealer, but i conteact hyundai corporate to have a monitoring device installed. they left it in for less then a month. third, just occured and hyundai has a new case on the vehicle. i informed them via the phone and will send a certified letter stating this is the third and final time, and i will not accept the vehicle back due to the hazards it can cause on the road including collision, bodily hard, and even death.

I had ~3,000 miles on the vehicle, at the time of the incident. i went to move the tucson up my driveway. the engine was revving 3-4k rpms and the vehicle speed was 1 mph.

Same as others, hesitation on start in stop and go traffic. one time in eco mode it just revved at 6500 rpm and would not move. scary. need a fix, love the car otherwise

Leased a brand new 2016 hyundai tucson limited in november 2015. the same week the car was leased, i had noticed some lag in the transmission when leaving stop signs/stoplights. this issue got a little better after having a software update done the following week. as of last week, my ac has not worked on 2 separate occasions. it will only blow hot air. after shutting the vehicle off, the ac resets itself and works again. last night while driving home, i was sitting at a stoplight waiting to get on the freeway. when the light turned green and i took off, the car revved up to 5000 rpms, but never moved. i shifted the car back and forth between park and drive with no luck. i shut the car off, restarted it, and still revved like it was in neutral. after about 5 minutes, the car kicked into gear and started moving very slowly before it finally kicked back to normal. this was very dangerous as the car would only go 10mph up the freeway ramp! on my way to the dealer this morning, the car did the same thing. i was in stop-and-go traffic and the car once again revved up, but never moved. when taking my foot off the brake, the car rolled backwards. finally after restarting the car and shifting back and forth, the car kicked into gear. after taking my car to the shop this morning, they said they would look at it, but there is no known fix. i am extremely disappointed that i am paying for a fully loaded vehicle that doesn't drive and makes for unsafe situations!

Two times in the last two weeks, the vehicle would not go into gear from a stop. yesterday (7/25/16) it occurred while making a left turn and nearly resulted in a serious accident!

It doesn't always go. you push the gas it revs up and then doesn't move. or moves incredibly slow. not all the time but not at good times either. usually happens after coming to a complete stop or if you'd slowed down and go to accelerate. started about a week after i bought it maybe once a week and now it's a few times a week this happens.

I have a 2016 hyundai tucson sport 1.6 turbo. it has a dual clutch transmission. everytime i press the accelerator slowly the car takes 5 seconds to start moving. when it does move the transmission chatters and is not smooth. as i am slowing down , stop, then proceed to go the trans either does not engage or there is a 5 second delay , chatters , and then takes off. it happens every time i drive the car and my wife is afraid to drive it. i afraid to drive it because i think it is going to get stuck in the middle of the road when i am turing. which it has done at least 10 + times. i almost got hit 6 times. if you look on hyundai forums and youtube it is a widespread complaint. i have called hyundai about the problem and they do not have a fix. it is going into the dealership this thursday 7/28/16. i have over 25 years experience in the automotive industry, and have 15 yrs dealership experience.

While sitting at traffic lights/stop signs, upon acceleration the car did not move. rpms increased however the car would not move. usually putting the car in park then back to drive would work. i took the car into the shop on july 6,2016 the dealership was able to duplicate the issue on the computer, as well as the tech driving did experience the same issue. the dealership has been very good with keeping us up to date. we waiting to hear from hyundai on how they intend on fixing this issue. i am being told they could possibly have the car for 3 weeks or longer. the car has been deemed unsafe to drive.

On two occasions, car was stopped at a stop light. when the light turned green and foot was let off the brake and applied to the accelerator; car did not move! rpms went up; however, car did not move.

On two occasions, when my tucson was at a stop (in drive, brake engaged), releasing the brake and attempting to accelerator resulted in the car stalling, staying in place and the engine revving as if the vehicle was in neutral. the first time this occurred was at a stop light and i was able to get the vehicle to go by putting the car in park, turning the engine off, turning the engine back on then putting the car in drive. the second time this occurred, i was in a drive-thru. powering the vehicle off and putting it in park, then drive did not resolve the problem. i revved the engine, putting a lot of force down onto the gas pedal and my vehicle slowly began rolling forward. after getting out of the drive-thru, i had to do this again and once the vehicle got up to a speed of 30mph or so, it appeared to return to normal with shifting.

While at a red light waiting to make a left turn pressed the gas and engine just reved to about 5000 rpm with no movement. car was in drive tried again car reved again and suddenly started moving. this vehicle is dangerous and i only purchased it a week ago.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle decelerated and the transmission overheat warning light illuminated. the contact noticed smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle through the rearview mirror. the contact coasted to the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and was able to resume driving. the failure recurred three times. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 5,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. while at a stop, the accelerator pedal was depressed and failed to respond without warning. the vehicle was towed to a dealer, but the failure was unable to be duplicated or diagnosed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was not available.

When you are either stopped or in motion the car hesitates on acceleration. for example when pulling in traffic your rpm's are going up and your wheels are not moving. this new type of transmission (duel clutch) does not feel right when you hit gas it either hesitates and jerks ahead. also getting message of the transmission getting hot. this is not normal. this happens when sitting in traffic. i think this is a issue not only with hyundai, but other car makers

Was sitting still and attempted to move forward and the engine showed rpm's moving but vehicle did not move. have had several instances when car was very slow to respond when attempting to drive from a stopped position and turning with oncoming traffic.

Transmission fails to engage. it happened the first time right in the morning from my driveway. put the car in drive and car was inching forward while giving it plenty of gas/rpms. car finally went into gear and started to move and was driving normal for the rest of the day. thought nothing of it since it only happened once. then about 3 weeks later, stopped at red light, once it turned green i stepped on the gas and the same thing, inching forward, high rpms, finally took gear after about 30 seconds and many upset people behind me. this bring me to yesterday, stopped at a stop sign to cross a busy non-stopping cross traffic, waiting to cross the street, found an opening and stepped on the gas expecting the car to make it through the intersection. i had plenty of time to move through, but suddenly my car just decided to not move while stuck right in the middle of the street. oncoming car had to swerve and nearly hit my hood. finally car started to move to barely make it out of the way for the 2nd oncoming car, scary stuff. took it to the dealership for service and told them about my 2 incidents and was told this was "normal for the turbo". also, i noticed that when i drive up an incline (say a parking garage) when i get to the top and level out, my car gets a huge rush of rpms and im not even stepping on the gas. not sure if this is at all related, but just assuming that it is part of the bigger problem with the transmission. car is 2016 tucson, limited, ultimate package, awd i don't feel safe in this car at all. i hope there is a fix for this soon.
