UNKNOWN OR OTHER
VEHICLE IS HESITANT TO ACCELERATE. STUTTERS AND SHAKES. RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO AUTO MECHANIC DEPARTMENT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I WAS CONTINUOUSLY TOLD THE VEHICLE ONLY NEEDED WARMING. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED WHEN PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE IF THIS OFFERED A SMOOTH RIDE. CAR SALESMAN GUARANTEED SMOOTH AND SAFE. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN EVERYTHING BUT THAT. I AM ALSO EMBARRASSED TO GIVE ANYONE A RIDE DUE TO THE SHAKING STUTTERING. *TR

TOOK MY 2017 TUCSON TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS HESITATION/ SPUTTERS ISSUE AND EVERY SINGLE TIME I WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. THEY KEEP WANTING TO CLEAN THE FUEL INJECTORS SO THEY WANT TO MAKE MORE MONEY. OBVIOUSLY THIS DID NOTHING AND THE HESITATION KEEP RECURRING. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE SINCE IT'S HAPPENING TO ME AND OTHERS. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR NOR THE DEALERSHIP. THIS PROBLEM STARTED RIGHT AFTER I FIRST BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2017, TOOK IT IN AND TOLD ME NOTHING WAS WRONG. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND WE ARE STILL DEALING WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. DUE TO THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO MCCARTHY OLATHE HYUNDAI (681 N RAWHIDE, OLATHE, KS 66061) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A LOOSE DRAIN PLUG. DUE TO THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE LOOSE DRAIN PLUG, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT THEN NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. AFTER AN EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION, THE MANUFACTURER DEEMED THE FAILURE TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO SERVICED THE VEHICLE FOR OIL CHANGES. THE MANUFACTURER DENIED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,110.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES - CAR WILL NOT PULL, AT TIMES, FROM A STANDING START OR WHEN STOPPED ON AN INCLINE. ENGINE REVS PUT CAR WILL NOT MOVE OR WILL HESITATE AS IT IS SEARCHING FOR A GEAR. TOOK IT TO THE SELLING DEALER, THEY TOLD ME IT'S A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND THERE IS NO "ISSUES OR FIX". IT'S AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE ABOUT A MONTH O=AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN JULY 2018. IT'S DANGEROUS!

POWER TRAIN
THIS 2017 HYUNDAI IS EQUIPPED WITH A 7-SPEED, DUAL CLUTCH AUTO TRANSMISSION.. THE PROBLEM IS A SERIOUS HESITATION FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR. IN SOME INSTANCES THE POWERTRAIN MOMENTARILY SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY. ALSO, THERE IS SEVERE CHATTERING WHEN MOVING FORWARD AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. I CAN'T TELL IF THE CHATTERING IS CAUSED BY THE GEARS JUMPING BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND OR IF THERE IS SLIPPAGE FROM ONE OF THE CLUTCH PACKS (THIS A TWIN CLUTCH PACK TRANSMISSION WITH OUT A TORQUE CONVERTER).THESE PROBLEMS BECOME PRONOUNCED AS TEMPERATURES RISE, SUCH AS HOT SUMMER DAYS. THE CONDITION OF THIS TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY MY DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND I HAVE A COPY OF THE WORK ORDER. I NOW DRIVE MY HYUNDAI BY STARTING IN STICK SHIFT MODE, THAN SHIFTING TO AUTOMATIC AFTER 3RD GEAR. WHEN I VISITED THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT I WAS TOLD : "CUSTOMER COMPLAINT COULDN'T BE DUPLICATED". THE HESITATION, THE CHATTERING AND OCCASIONAL SHUT DOWN OF THE POWERTRAIN IS VERY CONCERNING AND OBVIOUSLY IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED.

REAR WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED IN THE SPRING OF 2018 (EARLY MAY). CALLED DEALERSHIP WHO COULDN'T REPLACE AND SENT TO GO THROUGH INSURANCE. FALL OF 2019 (SEPTEMBER) THE SAME WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED. BOTH TIMES NO PHYSICAL INJURY TO WINDOW, CAR WAS PARKED IN LOCKED LOT. THESE OCCURRED AT CHANGE OF SEASON. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THERE ARE NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS OF SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERING WINDOWS FOR HYUNDAI VEHICLES. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT THIS TIME. REPORTS OF THIS OCCURRING VARY FROM WHILE IN MOTION OR PARKED, ALTHOUGH BOTH OF MINE OCCURRED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED.

MY HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS APPROXIMATELY 67000 MILES ON IT. I HAD IT IN PRIOR TO WARRANTY EXPIRING FOR ENGINE NOISE. I WAS TOLD NOISE WAS NORMAL.ANS NO SERVICE NEEDED. I HAD THE NEXT ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND NO ISSUES NOTED. I CHECKED MY OIL 2 DAYS AGO AND I ROUTINELY DO AND IT WAS REGISTERING NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. I HAVE NO OIL LEAKED ON DRIVEWAY OR CLIENTS DRIVES WHERE I PARK DAILY. I OUT OIL IN AND IMMEDIATELY TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. THEY CALLED LATER TO ASK.IF I HAD PURCHASED A EXTENDED WARRANTY? WHY ASK THIS? THEN SAID THEY WOULD CALL ONCE THEY KNEW THE ISSUE. THEY CALLED LATER TO LET ME KNOW I HAD METAL SHAVINGS IN MY ENGINE AND IT WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT. I WAS VERY UNHAPPY. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD SUBMIT FOR A "GOODWILL" REPAIR FROM HYUNDAI. THEY CAME BACK THEY WILL PAY 90% OF THE SHORT BLOCK ONLY. I LET THEM KNOW I WAS NOT HAPPY WITH THIS AND THEY WILL TRY FOR MORE COVERAGE SINCE IT WILL NEED MORE THAN THE SHORT BLOCK. I ASKED THE TYPE OF ENGINE IN THE CAR AND CAN NOT GET A DIRECT ANSWER. ALL THESE ISSUES ARE ONCE FOUND IN THE RECALLED MODELS. I FEEL I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING AS A CONSUMER TO KEEP MY CAR IN GOOD RUNNING ORDER. THIS ENGINE ISSUES WITH HYUNDAI NEED ADDRESSED IN FULL. WE ALL.NEED RELIABLE VEHICLES TO WORK AND WITH THE COSTS OF VEHICLES TODAY THEY SHOULD BE SAFE AND RELIABLE. THIS CAR HAS ALSO BEEN HAVING THE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS NOTES BY MANY OTHERS. YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL AND GO NOWHERE. THEN IT FINALLY DECIDES TO GO.

WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SPECIFICALLY ON AN INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND A BURNING/MELTING RUBBER SMELL IS EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN CLIMBING A LONG HILL IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR DISPLAYS A WARNING MESSAGE SAYING THAT ONE SHOULD STEP ON THE BREAK WHILE ON THE STEEP INCLINE. SO INSTEAD OF MOVING UP THE HILL AT A LOW STEADY SPEED USING THE ACCELERATOR, I MUST APPLY THE BREAK AND STOP THE CAR ON THE HILL, WAIT FOR A GAP, ACCELERATE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND THEN STOP AGAIN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE CAR LURCHES AND SHAKES WHILE MAKING LOUD CLANKING SOUNDS (SIMILAR TO THE SOUND YOU MIGHT HEAR BEFORE YOUR CAR STALLS OUT IF YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT DRIVING A STICK SHIFT). AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINS IN TRAFFIC ON THE INCLINE, ONE CAN SMELL AN THE BURNING ODOR AND TWO OUT OF THREE TIMES ANOTHER WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DISPLAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING AND THAT I SHOULD PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO DO THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND LURCHING ON INCLINES, THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES ON FLAT GROUND. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES, THE RPMS BEGIN TO INCREASE AS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO GET IT MOVING, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN CLICKS AND JERKS IN TO GEAR SPEEDING AWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET. THE DELAYED ACCELERATION ALSO OCCURS AS I DRIVE UP MY PARKING GARAGE, AS THE CAR SLOWLY MOVES ALONG THE ACCELERATOR HAS NO AFFECT UNTIL SUDDENLY THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATES TO AN UNSAFE SPEED IN THE TIGHT PARKING STRUCTURE, AGAIN LUCKILY NO PEDESTRIANS HAVE BEEN INJURED YET DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE.

EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE HESITATES. WHEN CAR IS COLD OR WARM. THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS DUE TO A SMALLER "FUEL EFFICIENT" ENGINE, WHICH I HAD NEVER HAD UNTIL I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 9 MONTHS AGO. NOW IT IS A HUGE AND CONSISTENT ISSUE, I FEEL UNSAFE AND LIKE I CANNOT GET OUT OFF THE WAY IF NEEDED. IT CHUGS FOR A SECOND OR TWO AND THEN ACCELERATES. SOMETIMES IT ACCELERATES ABRUPTLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN.

WHEN COASTING, THE CAR IDLES ROUGH AND LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN STOPPED AND PRESSING THE GAS, IT TAKES SEVER SECONDS FOR THE CAR TO TAKE OFF. THIS PUTS THE DRIVER AT RISK AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN CONSISTENTLY- YOU CAN EITHER TAKE OFF RIGHT AWAY OR YOU'RE DELAYED. THE ROUGH IDLING SOUNDS AND FEELS AS THOUGH THE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL. IN TRAFFIC, THIS PRESENTS A HAZARD.

B.THE DCT TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY DISENGAGES AND THERE IS NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE, IT JUST COASTS FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS AND THE VEHICLES SLOWS DOWN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN AFTER A TURN AND AT SLOWER SPEEDS AROUND 25 - 35 MPH. YOU PUSH THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENS, THE ENGINE DOES NOT REV AND YOU JUST COAST (AND SLOW DOWN). IF THIS HAPPENS WHEN I'M PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC MAKING A LEFT IT COULD BE DEADLY. I DO NOT LET MY 19 YEAR OLD SON DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I PROMISE YOU THERE WILL BE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND I WOULD IMAGINE SOME PEOPLE WILL DIE BECAUSE OF IT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY, IT IS NOT A ONE-TIME INCIDENT. I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND IT'S HAPPENED 10 TO 20 TIMES.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ACCORDING TO HYUNDAI'S 10 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY, ''REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF POWERTRAIN COMPONENTS (I.E., SELECTED ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION/TRANSAXLE COMPONENTS), ORIGINALLY MANUFACTURED OR INSTALLED BY HYUNDAI THAT ARE DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL OR FACTORY WORKMANSHIP, UNDER NORMAL USE AND MAINTENANCE.' CURRENTLY, CERTAIN HYUNDAI VEHICLES WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HAVE CAUSED THE VEHICLES TO SHUDDER AND LURCH, CAUSING POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS FOR DRIVERS AND TRAFFIC. A CIVIL ACTION LAWSUIT HAS COME OUT AWARDING ANYONE WITH THESE VEHICLES MONETARY COMPENSATION BUT HAS AN UNFAIR AND POINTLESS CUTOFF AT A CERTAIN MILEAGE THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUE PERTAINING TO THE VEHICLES AND STILL DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF DRIVER'S SAFETY AS HYUNDAI REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE. BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSIONS USE COMPUTERS, THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS NOT A CODE YET CREATED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE. IT IS ALSO NOT POSSIBLE TO SWITCH THE TRANSMISSION OUT FOR ONE THAT DOES NOT LURCH FROM OTHER MODELS AS IT WILL NOT FIT INTO THE CARS CORRECTLY. BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT THREATENS DRIVER'S SAFETY, IT COULD BE VIEWED AS VIOLATING PRODUCT LIABILITY LAWS. THIS MIGHT BE AN ISSUE WORTH INVESTIGATING AND THE PUBLICITY COULD HELP DRIVERS WITH THESE VEHICLES BY PUTTING PRESSURE ON THE COMPANY TO FIX THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF JUST PAYING THEM OFF FOR THEIR SILENCE.
