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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DRIVING ALONG THE INTERSTATE WHEN ENGINE HAD REDUCED ENGINE POWER FOR A MOMENT, THEN STALLED AROUND 70MPH. MADE IT TO AN EXIT RAMP LUCKILY. ENGINE HESITATED TO RESTART, ONCE IT DID START ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND HAD NEXT TO NO POWER. TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALER, HYUNDAI DEALER STATED THAT HYUNDAI HAS HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THESE ENGINES AND HYUNDAI SHOULD COVER IT FULLY. DEALERSHIP PROCEEDED TO PULL OIL PAN AND VALVE COVER WITHOUT OUR CONSENT AND WITH NO COMMUNICATION FOR DAYS. CONFIRMED THE ENGINE WAS BAD, METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL PAN, ROD BEARINGS FAILED. COMMON PROBLEM. WAITING ON HYUNDAI FOR APPROVAL. SERVICE ADVISOR QUIT, WE WERE INFORMED 6 DAYS LATER THAT HYUNDAI IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER 65% OF COST AND WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY 35% ($3,500.0) OUT OF POCKET. WE REFUSED TO PAY; THEY STATED WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY DIAGNOSIS, BUT THEY ENDED UP WAIVING THAT. TECHNICIANS DID NOT FULLY SECURE OIL PAN OR VALVE COVER. OIL UNDER CAR WHERE IT WAS PARKED, HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEOS TO BACK THIS CLAIM UP. HAVE RENTAL CAR AND MANY TOW BILLS IN TO THE MIX NOW. WHY WOULD THE DEALER TELL US HYUNDAI FULLY COVER THIS BUT THEY DON'T? WE NEED THIS ISSUE FIXED. MANY OTHER TUCSON OWNERS DEAL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH THE SAME ENGINE AS THE OTHER CARS, BUT THEIRS GET REPLACED FREE OR CHARGE AND EXPENSES PAID BY HYUNDAI.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DCT, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SLOW, HESITATE, FAIL TO MAINTAIN SPEED, AND STOP WITHOUT WARNING. 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). WHEN MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY ON A HILL, I MUST USE THE SLOW VEHICLE LANE TO GET UP TO SPEED BEFORE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. OFTEN, I WILL PULL OUT TO PASS A CAR AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL TO RESPOND, CAUSING ME TO SLOW RAPIDLY. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE DATES DURING THE YEAR I'VE OWNED AND HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT IT IS "NORMAL" AND THAT IT WILL "LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS. THE LATTER IS UNTRUE, IT DOES NOT LEARN AND I NEED TO ADAPT MY DRIVING HABITS TO THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE TRANSMISSION. THIS IS UNSAFE AND PUTS ME AND OTHER DRIVERS AT RISK. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLES BEHING ME, REGARDLESS OF FOLLOWING DISTANCE, HAVE HAD TO SWERVE OR BRAKE DUE TO MY VEHICLES FAILINGS.

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# !

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
THE BACKUP CAMERA IS BLURRY AND FUZZY DURING THE DAY AND EVEN WORSE AT NIGHT. ALMOST USELESS AT NIGHT TIME. THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE BUT IT IS NOT VERY GOOD WHEN YOU CAN'T MAKE OUT OBJECTS AND THERE ISN'T A WARNING NOISE WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO BACK UP INTO SOMETHING. I HAVE TAKEN TO SERVICE DEPT AT DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES NOW AND THEY HAVE INSTALLED A NEW CAMERA AND IT IS STILL THE SAME AS THE FIRST ONE. I THINK HYUNDAI NEEDS TO GET A MUCH BETTER QUALITY CAMERA SYSTEM FOR THE 2020 HYUNDAI TUCSON ULTIMATES. I WAS AT WALMART 3 NIGHTS AGO BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND DID NOT SEE THE LADY WALKING BEHIND MY CAR B/C THE CAMERA SYSTEM IS HORRIBLE AT NIGHT TIME.

POWER TRAIN
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.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.
