POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE HAS ISSUES W/ACCELERATION - IT IS SLOW, HESITATES, AND FAILS TO MAINTAIN SPEED AT TIMES. FURTHER, THE TRANSMISSION CAUSES FREQUENT RPM SURGES, REGARDLESS OF SPEED OR TERRAIN OR ROAD TYPE (IT IS MOST FREQUENT WHEN GOING UP A HILL, BUT ALSO HAPPENS ON A FLAT ROAD). I WAS COMING TO A STOP AND WHILE SLOWING DOWN, WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED, THE ENGINE REVVED TWICE. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS, THEY ALL SEEM TO BE ABOUT THE SAME THINGS AND NEED FIXED. I HAVE A SON THAT WILL START DRIVING IN THE FALL AND I'D LIKE TO BE ABLE TO RELY ON THE CAR TO RUN CORRECTLY AND WITHOUT ISSUES. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE AND NEEDS FIXED - IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE FIRST AND FOREMOST. *TR

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

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.

POWER TRAIN, SEATS, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T SHIFTING OUT PROPERLY. YOU CAN HEAR THE CAR REVVING UP AND NOT CHANGING GEARS. THE ACCELERATION IS SLOW AS WELL. ALTHOUGH I'M PRESSING ON THE GAS, IT TAKES A WHILE FOR THE CAR TO PICK UP SPEED. THE DRIVER SEAT IN MY BRAND NEW TUSCAN IS ALSO PEELING. I HAVEN'T CLEANED THE SEAT WITH ANY KIND OF CHEMICALS, BUT A SMALL SPOT IS VISIBLY PEELING.

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

AS STATED IN MANY FORUMS BY MANY OWNERS,IN MY CASE THE 2.0 WITH AUTOMATIC. I HAVE A 2014 KIA SOUL AND THE 2018 TUSCON. BOTH VEHICLES ACT THE SAME,HESITATE WHEN THEY WANT TO. BOTH HAVE DONE THIS SINCE BRAND NEW AND NEITHER DEALERSHIP HAS MADE AN EFFORT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL VERY CLOSE CALLS HESITATING LIKE THIS IN HEAVY CITY TRAFFIC.ALSO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A LAWSUIT SETTLEMENT ON 2018 TUCSON. *TR

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
HELLO EVERYONE, 2018 HYUNDAI TUSCON PROBLEM: ENGINE/AIR BAG CAUSE: UNKNOWN * AFTER A COLLISION WITH 2 LARGE DEER ON A MAIN HIGHWAY EARLY MORNING, IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT IT TO A SHOP. THE BODY WORK WAS FINISHED AND I HAD THE CAR BACK, UNFORTUNATELY AFTER THAT MY ENGINE WAS VERY VERY SLUGGISH. IRREGULAR SHIFTING, SLIGHT TICKING IN ENGINE BLOCK, NO LATER I HAD ISSUES WITH BATTERY LIGHT COMING ON ( THE CAR SHUT OFF) WHILE I'M MOTION ON MAIN ROAD. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT IT'S A TOTAL LOSS, THIS 2 YEAR OLD VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES HAD A BLOWN ENGINE DUE TO UNKNOWN CAUSES. I NEED SOME EXPLAINING FROM SOMEONE WHY THIS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE OWNERS. *TR

ENGINE
ON 5/10/2020, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, ENGINE SPUTTERED, WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY AND PULL OVER AND BY THAT TIME, CAR WAS SHAKING VERY HARD. TOWED TO MECHANIC, CAR REQUIRES ENGINE OVERHAUL. CAR THEN TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, CAR NEEDS A FULL ENGINE REBUILD. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR WITH OIL CHANGES AND THE CAR HAS 100086 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURE OF THE THETA II 2.4 LITER ENGINES, WHICH MY CAR HAS, YET NO RECALL ISSUES. MECHANIC SAID PARTS ALONE WILL BE AROUND $6000 DOLLARS, IF YOU ADD LABOR IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE THAT POSES A RISK TO LIFE. A FEW MONTHS PRIOR, THIS CAR ALSO HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE (LOST ALL POWER) ON THE FREEWAY. *TR
