ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
FOR "ALL" CARS, WHEN THE HEATER IS TURNED "ON", THE WHOLE CAR FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WHERE YOU MUST EITHER PULL THE CAR AND STOP OR OPEN THE WINDOWS. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR DRIVES FROM ZERO TO 50 MPG, THE CAR ALSO GETS HEAVY FUMES. LASTLY, THE TACHOMETER WHEN STARTES DRIVING IN 1ST, 2ND & 3RD GEARS, THE "RPM" SHOW 5000 TO 6500 RPM B-4 GETS TO THE NEXT GEAR; THIS WAS ESPECIALLY FOR AUTOMATIC CARS!

THE FEW MONTHS OLD VEHICLE WOULD GET INTO A DEGRADED MODE AND SEVERELY HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE IGNORED MANUAL SHIFTING AND STAYED IN DRIVE MODE EVEN WHEN THE SHIFTER WAS SET PHYSICALLY IN THE - AND + MANUAL MODE. DRIVING ON HIGHWAYS CAUSED THE ENGINE TO GROAN AND REV LOUDLY AS IT TRIED TO SHIFT INTO A GEAR. TURNING THE CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DOOR AND RESTARTING THE CAR SEEMED TO CORRECT THE ISSUES FOR A SHORT TIME. AFTER TWO WEEKS IN THE SHOP, IT WAS DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY CLUTCH ACCUATOR ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY AS SEEN ON FORUMS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR I RENTED A HYUNDAI TUCSON FROM NATIONAL AT HOBBY AIRPORT IN HOUSTON, TX. IN A MANNER SIMILAR TO THE COMPLAINT I JUST FILED REGARDING AN EARLIER EXPERIENCE WITH A HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT (#10822299) THIS SUV ALSO EXHIBITED SIMILAR BEHAVIORS - A TENDENCY TO HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, ESPECIALLY (BUT BY NO MEANS EXCLUSIVELY) WHEN A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN WAS TO BE EXECUTED AT THE SAME TIME. SINCE THIS WAS MY SECOND EXPERIENCE WITH A RENTAL HYUNDAI SUV, I THOUGHT IT WISE TO ADVISE YOU OF THIS POSSIBLY ENDEMIC DEFECT IN THAT MAKER'S MODELS. THE PROBLEM WAS SO SEVERE THAT I HAD TO MAKE SURE THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM, TRAFFIC-WISE, TO ACCELERATE FROM ZERO WITHOUT POSSIBLY GETTING STRUCK. I AM NOW OUT OF THE MARKET FOR FUTURE HYUNDAI SUV RENTALS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW DEC 28 AND DROVE IT HOME ON DEC 30, 2015. I DISCOVERED THAT IT DID NOT HAVE BLIND SPOT DETECTION, REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT OR LANE CHANGE ASSIST, ALL THREE TECHNOLOGIES WERE ADVERTISED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THIS MODEL. IN ADDITION A CHEAPER MIRROR THAT DID NOT BELONG ON THIS MODEL WAS INSTALLED, IT HAD A SMALL CONVEX MIRROR AND WAS CALLED A BLIND SPOT MIRROR. THIS WAS A DELIBERATE DECEPTION INTENDED TO CONFUSE THE PURCHASER BECAUSE WHEN I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE THE BLIND SPOT DETECTION SYSTEM, HE RESPONDED THAT IT DID HAVE BLIND SPOT TECHNOLOGY! THEN HE SAID THAT HYUNDAI DID NOT SHIP CARS WITH BLIND SPOT DETECTION TO PUERTO RICO, USA. NOT SHIP SAFETY TECHNOLOGY THAT I PAID FOR AND WAS ADVERTISED AS STANDARD EQUIPMENT?

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
