ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE THE MILEAGE WAS NOT ADDING CORRECTLY, I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH APPROXIMATELY 104 MILES ON IT AND AFTER 2 WEEKS OF DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 200 MILES THE TOTAL MILES ON MY CAR WAS 150. MY CAR AUTOMATICALLY STARTS ON OCCASION WHEN I USE MY KEY FOB TO LOCK MY DOORS. MY STEREO/GPS/BACK UP CAMERA VIEW DOESN'T WORK AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OCCURRENCES IN WHICH THE TRANSMISSION FEELS AS THOUGH IT 'SLIPS' AND OTHERS IN WHICH I HAVE TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) TO THE FLOOR TO GET MY CAR TO MOVE. TODAY I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED AT A RED TRAFFIC SIGNAL, UPON GREEN I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR (GAS PEDAL) AND MY CAR RESPONDED AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL AND I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE ENGINE REVVED AND IT MOVED A FEW FEET. I HAVE LESS THAN 33,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND I HAVE HAD ISSUES SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY SAY THEY 'CAN'T DUPLICATE' THE ISSUES I'M HAVING. TRANSMISSION APPOINTMENT IS TOMORROW. I WOULD LIKE NOTIFICATIONS OF ANY RECALLS, I AM UNABLE TO CHECK THE BOX AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE I AM SUBMITTING.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT WHEN I RESEARCHED ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. IT CLAIMED 0 RECALLS... I'M CONFUSED!!!!! WHEN I RESEARCHED ON ANOTHER SITE IT GAVE ME 4 DIFFERENT RECALLS. AND THIS VEHICLE IS DISPLAYING PROBLEMS THAT DESCRIBES AT LEAST 2 OF THESE RECALLS. BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING. AND ALSO SLIGHT PULL WHEN ACCELERATING. RECALL NUMBERS 05V119000 AND 09V122000. I WAS IN MOTION WHEN ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED ON SIDE OF ME AND INFORMED ME THAT MY BRAKES LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. AND I ALSO BELIEVE THAT I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HYUNDAI TUCSON CAR HESITATE TO START FROM THE SIGNAL LIGHT. I.E IT TOOK AROUND 2 TO 3 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE [I END UP IN APPLYING GAS PEDAL HARDLY TO GET THE MOVE FROM LIGHT ] AND THIS HAD HAPPENED FOR 4 TIMES SO FAR FROM 2017 JULY TO NOW. WHEN I CHECK WITH HYUNDAI SERVICE DEALERS ON THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHECK IT COMPLETELY AND FOR THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR "VEHICLE INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSE" :( , I'M NOT READY TO AFFORD AS THIS IS NOT HAPPENING OFTEN.

ENGINE
MY 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON'S ENGINE BURNED OIL AND NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AT ONLY 108,000 MILES. I RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAS THE SAME ENGINE AS MY WIFE'S RECALLED 2014 HYUNDAI SONATA. HER CAR IS ALSO BURNING OIL AND IS NOW GOING THROUGH TESTS TO DETERMINE IF THEY NEED TO REPLACE HER ENGINE. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE A CASE NUMBER WITH HYUNDAI. HYUNDAI CAN'T ANSWER WHY MY MODEL HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND A PRIVATE FACEBOOK PAGE OF OTHER HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNERS WITH BLOWN ENGINES. IF MY CAR WAS RECALLED LIKE MY WIFE'S CAR I WOULD STILL BE UNDER WARRANTY AS THEY EXTENDED HER TO 120,000 MILES DUE TO RECALL. MY CAR IS 8000 MILES OUT OF THE WARRANTY WHEN MY ENGINE BLEW. WE'RE STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM HYUNDAI CORPORATE AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH MY CAR. MEANWHILE STILL PAYING A LOAN ON A CAR I CAN'T DRIVE. DISGUSTED AND FURIOUS ARE JUST THE BEGINNING OF HOW I FEEL.

POWER TRAIN
MY 2017 TUCSON NOW HAS 1,771 MILES. I HAVE THE SAME FEARS FOR MY FAMILY, MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHERS WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. PROBLEMS OCCUR AFTER I HAVE DRIVING AT LEAST 15 TO 20 MINUTES. IF SUV THEN SITS FOR A SHORT WHILE THEY MAY START UP AT THAT POINT. SEVERAL TIMES MERGING ONTO THE BUSY INTERSECTION I ATTEMPT TO PULL FORWARD WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL, MY SUV SLOWLY MOVES INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE RPM'S REV, BUT THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES. I HAVE CARS COMING DOWN A HILL TOWARDS ME THE CAR BEHIND ME HAS SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. MORE PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS, EVENTUALLY I HAVE POWER. SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WHEN IT TURNS GREEN, AGAIN PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE GAS AND THE CAR REVS AND SUV EDGES FORWARD. I FEEL LIKE L HAVE NO POWER THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE SUV STARTS TO MOVE. I AM GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND IT WILL BE AT THE HANDS OF HYUNDAI. I HAVE EXPLAINED MY CONCERN TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS, BUT BRING IT IN FOR AN APPOINTMENT. I SCHEDULED AN OIL CHANGE WHILE THEIR I ASKED THEM TO PLEASE CHECK MY CONCERNS AND I EXPLAINED AGAIN. WENT BACK A FEW HOURS LATER & THEY FOUND NOTHING, NO CODES CAME UP TO EXPLAIN ANY ISSUES, I COULD LEAVE IT FOR THREE DAYS AT A FUTURE DATE SO THEY COULD SPEND AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME WITH IT. THEY NEVER ENDED UP HAVING A RENTAL TO TAKE IT AS OF YET. 2016 TUCSON OWNERS EXPERIENDED THE SAME ISSUES. HYUNDAIS 2ND YEAR WITH THE SAME ISSUES, 2016'S TACKLED WITH NO SUCCESS. WHEN I APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP WITH THIS ISSUE I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE. IF HYUNDAI IS UNABLE TO FIX TJIS PROBLEM THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. GO TO THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE YET KILLED. I KNOW THAT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. HOW IS IT LEGAL SELLING SOMETHING KNOWING THAT IT'S NOT SAFE.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I WAS TAKING LEFT INTO MY DRIVE, IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS REVVING, BUT I HAD ABSOLUTE NO POWER. LUCKILY I GOT ENOUGH POWER EVENTUALLY TO GET INTO THE DRIVEWAY WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN REPEATEDLY IN THIS CAR. IT HAS BEEN INTO THE DEAL ONCE AND THEY SAID THEY UPDATED THE SOFTWARE BUT IT HAS STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. I NEVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M GOING TO GET WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. THE DUAL ACTION CLUTCH IS AWFUL AND I WAS NOT INFORMED ABOUT IT EVEN HAVING THIS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. OTHERWISE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WHEN ACCELERATING I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR BARELY MOVES FORWARD AND THEN YOU CAN FEEL THE TRANSMISSION DISENGAGE WHILE THE RPMS CONTINUE TO RISE BUT AT THIS POINT YOU ARE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH NO POWER, IM SURE YOU CAN IMAGINE THE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS. THEN, SOMETIMES 2 SECONDS, SOMETIMES 5-10 SECONDS LATER THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND THE CAR LAUNCHES FORWARD DUE TO THE HIGH RPMS. IM SURE THIS ISNT GOOD FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND IT IS EASY TO LOSE CONTROL OF A CAR LAUNCHING IN THIS MANNER. WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS CLOSE CALLS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE ALSO TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE RPMS RISE BUT THE CAR DOES NOTHING AT ALL. I WILL PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE CAR STILL WONT MOVE. I HAVE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IN ORDER TO GET THE TRANSMISSION TO WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I BROUGHT THESE COMPLAINTS TO HYUNDAI THEY SAID THEY WERE AWARE AND TOLD ME THEY HAD JUST ISSUED A RECALL. SO I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO HAVE IT FIX. I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO FINALLY HAVE WHAT I PAID FOR. WELL, I WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR BECAUSE THE RECALL DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. WE ARE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING THESE PROBLEMS MORE FREQUENTLY. SOME TECHNICIANS AND HYUNDAI MOTORS USA TELL ME THAT I DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND SAY THAT I SHOULDNT EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS. LET ME REPEAT, I SHOULDNT EXPECT THE CAR TO ACCELERATE WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS! THEY ALSO SENT ME A YOUTUBE VIDEO TO TEACH ME HOW TO DRIVE A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION WHICH I FOUND INSULTING. I KNOW HOW TO DRIVE A CAR! OTHER TECHNICIANS FROM ARAPAHOE HYUNDAI ADMIT THAT THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CAR AND THEY WOULD NEVER PUT THEIR FAMILY IN ONE. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS CAR AND TAKE IT OFF THE ROAD.

THIS SUV STUTTERS AND HESITATES ON ACCELERATION. AT A STOP ENTERING TRAFFIC LANES VERY UNSAFE WHILE IDLING WILL STUMBLE AND SHAKE. RPMS WILL RAMP UP WITH NO TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT. THIS IS OUR 3RD TRANSMISSION I DON'T THINK HYUNDAI HAS A FIX FOR THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. CAR WAS $35000 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WARRANTY EXPIRES? UNSAFE. UNACCEPTABLE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL AND ITS TRANSMISSION ONLINE HYUNDAI OFFERS NO LONG TERM SOLUTION
