POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
No or reduced acceleration after stopping, no shifting at all into gear, vehicle hesitating, especially in low gears at speeds less then 10 MPH while idling in traffic. Issues shifting into gear and accelerating when pushing accelerator especially when going downhill. Issue happens nearly every time the vehicle is driven. Rear driver's side door will not open from inside or outside of car. Seems to be an issue with the cable/pulley system. Could definitely be a safety hazard in an emergency situation.

ENGINE
I was driving on interstate and my vehicle felt like it was losing power. It felt like the engine was failing. My car started squeaking and flutter when I tried to accelerate pass 65 mph. I took it to delearship and they told me my engine needed replaced. It only had like 89k miles on it. They replaced engine. I picked up SUV, and as I am driving home on interstate my car started to shake and squeal again when I accelerated to 65 mph. It seemed I had to floor the accelerator to get to 65 mph. I took suv back and this time they told me it was the transmission. It is currently in shop getting transmission fixed. Hyundai has had my car now for 4.5 months replacing motor and now transmission. I bought this car brand new, and had issues with this SUV in the past. It would consume a lot oil way before it time for oil change, but dealership did oil consumption test and said it was fine. It lost complete power at traffic stop. Every time I took it to delearshop they would say everything look good. My model Vin number isn’t on the recall list, but I wouldn’t purchase a used 2016 Hyundai, Tucson do to safety concerns.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I own a 2015 Hyundai Tucson and was notified by letter of the Safety Recall, Campaign 218 for the defect on the ABS system and campaign 966 for a software update. It took over a month to get an appointment at the Hundai dealer, Fucillo Hyundai in Schenectady, NY. They completed the software change, but I was told that a remedy was not available for the more dangerous and threatening ABS problem. At present, they do not have a fix and don't know when it will be available - possibly up to two more months. I have parked this car in a garage that is located directly under my living room since I bought the car in 2015. Apparently my house could have been combusted anytime this last 7 years. After learning of the magnitude of the risk I don't want to drive this car or even have it on my property. Instead of sending me this mealy mouth letter and talking with a mealy mouth Hyundai agent who has no information (other than to wish me a nice day) I want Hyundai to provide me with a rental car that is safe to drive and park at my house. I'm a 78 year old woman living on a remote dirt road in Vermont who (these days) only drives back and forth to the grocery which is 10 miles round trip. I drove almost 100 miles yesterday to take the car to the dealer in Schenectady for the service. I will have to drive over there again when they are ready to fix this problem. This is not good enough!!!!! Well, let's get serious: exactly how far from said structure should the car be parked? 25 ft, 50 ft 100 ft?? Is there a recommended time or distance limit the car may be driven in a day/trip or other unit of measure? Is there a recommended speed? My car has 60,000 miles on it. Is that a factor? Is the outside ambient temperature a factor? How far away should I stay from other cars? Do they know or recommend?

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
door handle latch will not open door from inside or out due to either defective latch or cable. this is a very dangerous condition for occupant that could become trapped and unable to escape vehicle. seems that there are multiple reports of this happening. I already had one such latch replaced while my vehicle was still under warranty now another has failed. Thankfully this was not an emergency situation.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Door latch failure. The door latches do not work, and become un-openable. 11/2020 & 04/2022. Yes it is currently available for inspection with a non-operational door. Safety issue, cannot exit the car. Cannot get kids out of the car. I cannot get out of the car. No one can open the car door that is affected when unlocked from the inside or the outside of the car. Yes, there are articles, fixes and my personal mechanic and Hyundai mechanics have addressed the previous same issue in 11/2020. The car was inspected by a Hyundai dealer 10/2020 who gave me a quote to replace the door latches and locks. The car was inspected by my mechanic at a Chevrolet dealership as well, who installed part #Hyundai actuator motor Front door lock 81310D3010. The car has not been inspected by police or insurance. The car has had same failure in drivers door that was fixed by a different car manufacturer. The car currently has a different door latch failure. There are no warning lamp indicators. The door simply will not open at all when unlocked causing a problem for anyone to exit the vehicle in an emergency.

ENGINE
Powertrain issue. Multiple times the after stopping the engine revs for a few seconds and then the vehicle will lurch forward. It acts like the CVT transmission has a delayed response to the accelerator. The condition comes and goes and sometimes it happens multiple times in the same trip.

ENGINE
Went in for recalls in feb, not even 2 weeks later car was put into limp mode check engine light flashing. Car was towed to dealership where car was purchased where they said it was due to metal shavings in engine. Car was delivered to Hyundai where they diagnosed it with a faulty knock sensor which had just been replaced not even 2 weeks prior. After getting it towed to another Hyundai dealer for a second opinion was told that bolts from the recall work were cross threaded and broken off into motor causing the metal shavings. Really unclear as to what happened but Hyundai refuses to replace engine warranty was denied. Unsure if Hyundai is aware of the failed engine due to recalls

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
There appears to be a dangerously common malfunction on my 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Without any warning or indication of failure I am unable to open either of my rear passenger doors. Neither from inside, nor outside. The door locks appear to lock and unlock, manually and/or electrically, but the none of the door handles work. First the rear right side, followed by the rear left side a day later. It would be impossible in an emergency for someone to exit or be removed from the vehicle. God forbid there was a fire, or child stuck in a car seat. Vehicle is available for inspection. Though have not been able to have a dealer inspect it yet...Hyundai is not returning my calls. How can this not be a recall yet!! Do innocent people have to die first? There's no reason to have "tombstone legislation". Be proactive.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
While driving one evening, it was brought to my attention that my passenger brake light was remaining on, when I was not braking. A week later, both sides are on. This happens only if my headlights are on - automatically or if I manually turn my headlights on. The back center light will only come on when I high the brake pedals. Again, back brake lights on driver and passenger side remain on regardless of brake pedal is engaged.
