POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY HYUNDAI TUCSON HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE AS I AM TRYING TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WILL GET THIS BURST OF ENERGY AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE TRYING TO TAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS WHEN BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE VISITS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. I HAVE HAD ZERO LUCK WITH ISSUE BEING RESOLVED.

* VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY HYUNDAI IN DECEMBER 2017 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE, WHICH INCLUDED A TIRE ROTATION. * VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY HYUNDAI IN FEBRUARY 2018 FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE WITH AN ADDITIONAL COMPLAINT FOR NOISES WHEN MAKING TURNS, PARTICULARLY TO THE LEFT. * THE SHEEHY HYUNDAI SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED A TIRE WAS RUBBING A CONTROL ARM. MY DAUGHTER DECLINED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THE SERVICE CENTER DID NOT STATE IT WAS AN URGENT ISSUE. * VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHEEHY HYUNDAI AGAIN IN MARCH 2018 AND WAS GIVEN AN ALIGNMENT TO DEAL WITH THE VIBRATION AND NOISE. ACCORDING TO INVOICE, THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. * MY DAUGHTER COMPLAINED AGAIN OF THE NOISE AND VIBRATION. SHE WAS SCHEDULED TO COME IN NEXT WEEK TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK AT THE ISSUE. * WHILE DRIVING TO WORK THIS MORNING (25 MAY 2018), NEAR EXIT 13 ON INTERSTATE 495 SHE HEARD A POP AND VEHICLE SWERVED ALL OVER THE LANES. SHE ENDED UP RIGHT NEAR A GUARD RAIL. THE TIRE CAME COMPLETELY OFF AND TWO INSERT BOLTS ON THE DRUM WERE SHEARED. * I CALLED SHEEHY HYUNDAI AND EXPLAINED THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THE SERVICE MANAGER RELAYED THAT THEY WERE NOT LIABLE SINCE THEY DID AN ALIGNMENT ON THE LAST SERVICE AND DID NOT TOUCH THE TIRES. * I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THEY WERE THE LAST ONES TO WORK ON THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING WITH THE TIRES. I ALSO REMINDED HIM THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN THERE MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE DECEMBER. * THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT AN ALIGNMENT WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF ANY VIBRATION ANYWAY. * THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT FAILED TO COMPLETELY TIGHTEN LUGS AND MISSED THIS ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE LED TO MULTIPLE INJURIES AND FATALITIES. I INFORMED HIM THAT IF HE SUGGESTS THAT THE LUGS AND WHEEL JUST CAME OFF, THEN HYUNDAI CORPORATE NEEDS TO BE NOTIFIED OF THIS VEHICLE DEFECT.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT THAT MIMICS THE CURRENT RECALL 16V628000 FROM HYUNDAI ON 8/30/2016, FOR THEIR 2016 TUCSON TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS OF THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION WHERE IT WILL DISENGAGE. WHEN DRIVING AND PRESSING ON ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS, BUT THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN NEUTRAL (EVEN THOUGH IN DRIVE). IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON MY 2012 AFTER I MADE A GRADUAL RIGHT HAND TURN AROUND A RAMP AT ABOUT 25 MPH . I HAD COME OUT OF THE TURN AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHEN NOTHING HAPPENED. THE ENGINE REV'D TO ABOUT 4K, I IMMEDIATELY LET OFF GAS THINKING I HAD BUMPED THE GEAR SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR IT HAD SOMEHOW POPPED OUT OF GEAR. NOPE. LIGHT ON DASH STILL SAID "D" AND THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN THE PROPER POSITION. I LET IT COAST FOR AWHILE AND THEN TRIED ACCELERATING AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WORKED FINE. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE VEHICLE FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY ISSUES BEFORE THIS. I WAS A AUTO/DIESEL MECHANIC FOR OVER 14 YEARS AND WAS VERY COGNIZANT OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING, NOT PANIC STRICKEN. IF I GET A CASE NUMBER OR THE LIKE I WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP WITH YOU ON THE ISSUE. NO ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON, ENGINE DID NOT STALL, NO CODES GENERATED ON OBDII SCANNER. (2 CYCLES OF ON/OFF BEFORE CHECKING FOR CODES WHEN I GOT HOME) TRIED CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL, BUT IT IS A SEALED UNIT WITH NO DIP STICK.

POWER TRAIN
DOUBLE-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION HESITATION WHEN THINKING ABOUT STARTING OUT OR SHIFTING OF 1.5 TO 2 SECONDS. THIS ALLOWS AN ONCOMING VEHICLE TO BE 2.5 CAR LENGTHS CLOSER AND WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AGAINST ON-COMING TRAFFIC THIS IS LIFE THREATENING. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MOVING STRAIGHT. THE HYUNDAI DEALER TOLD US TO KEEP THE DRIVE MODE IN SPORT - IT HAPPENED ONCE IN THAT NOT NEARLY AS SEVERE. HOWEVER IN SPORT WE GET FAR LESS MILES PER GALLON (5 MILES ON AVERAGE) AND THE FUEL ECONOMY WAS WHY WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WE ALSO CONTACTED CORPORATE AND THEY INFORMED US THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE TRANSMISSION SAID, 'IT WORKS AS DESIGNED.' THAT MEANS IT WAS DESIGNED TO PUT PEOPLES' LIVES IN DANGER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY TRUCK IS UNPREDICTABLE. SOMETIMES THERE IS A BIG DELAY WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS. ALSO, IT EXCELLERATES WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT FOR INSTANCE, TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE, ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LEARCHES FORWARD FAST. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN CARS ARE STOPPED BEHIND YOU AT A LIGHT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT DOES IT. SOMETIMES ON A COLD START, SOMETIMES NOT. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD IT'S BECAUSE IT HAS A DOUBLE CLUTCH. IF THAT'S THE REASON, WHY DIDN'T IT DO IT WHEN I FIRST GOT IT. IT STARTED AROUND 1900 MILES. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE OF SNOW AND SLIPPERY ROADS, NOT SO. IT'S SCARY BUT WHAT'S EVEN SCARIER, I WILL BE PAYING FOR IT FOR THE NEXT 5 YEARS SO I CAN'T GET RID OF IT UNLESS I GET KILLED IN IT. IT ONLY HAS 2400 MILES ON IT. TRUCK WAS ALWAYS IN MOTION, SOMETIMES EVEN BACKING UP IN THE MORNING IT'S IN SLOW MOTION WITH A BIG HESITATION.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
WHEN SLOWING OR IDLING THE CAR WILL STALL AND COME TO A STOP, UNABLE TO ACCELERATE AGAIN. AS THE CAR STALLS IT BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER AND ALL THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LIGHT, EMERGENCY BREAK LIGHT, ETC). THIS USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I AM SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN AND HAS HAPPENED ONCE ON THE HIGHWAY. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP WHILE TRYING TO TAKE AN EXIT ON THE HIGHWAY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY CAR HAS DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING (7X), INABILITY TO REVERSE (2X), AND A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT LIMITS MY SPEED (2X). TROUBLE ACCELERATING IS PRESENT IN ALL CASES. I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN OCTOBER 2015, AND A RECALL ON THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) WAS DONE IN FEBRUARY 2016. THE RECALL WAS TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM OF THE CAR'S INABILITY TO ACCELERATE AFTER REPEATEDLY PRESSING AND RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR. THE PROBLEMS STARTED IN MAY 2016 AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE. I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A NORMAL OPERATION OF DCT. IN DECEMBER 2016, THE SECOND PART OF THE DCT SOFTWARE UPDATE WAS DONE. ONCE THE WARMER WEATHER CAME, MY CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUES IN APRIL 2017, JUNE 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, UPDATE), SEPTEMBER 2017, THREE TIMES IN OCTOBER 2017 (TAKEN TO DEALER, NORMAL), AND TWICE IN MAY 2018. ALL OCCURRENCES WERE IN WARM WEATHER (77 DEGREES TO 82 DEGREES) AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE ALL DAY. PRIOR TO OCTOBER, ALL INCIDENCES WERE TROUBLE ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. HOWEVER, ONE INCIDENT IN OCTOBER IS ALSO WHEN MY CAR WOULDN'T REVERSE, AND THE OTHER HAD A TRANSMISSION ERROR THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME PAST 51MPH. FOR THE SECOND OCCURRENCE IN MAY, THE CAR WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT TWO MILES, STOPPED AT A STORE PARKING LOT WITH THE AC RUNNING FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, THEN HAD DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION ERROR APPEARED AGAIN AT 32MPH LIMITING MY SPEED, AND I COULD NOT REVERSE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND DROVE THE CAR TO THEM. THE MECHANIC BELIEVED MY ISSUE AND DID NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT. MY CAR HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES, AND I WAS JUST TOLD THAT MY CAR IS ACTING NORMALLY. THEY ARE READY TO RELEASE THE CAR TO ME; HOWEVER, I HAVE STRESSED THE SAFETY ISSUE AND REFUSE TO TAKE THE CAR BACK. THIS CAR IS NOT RELIABLE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURY OR DEATH. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE.

AFTER STOPPING, WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD IT HESITATES SEVERELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE ENGINE RPMS PICK UP BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. IN FACT, IF YOU ARE ON A SLIGHT UPHILL GRADE, THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO DRIFT BACK.THIS OCCURS IN REGULAR DRIVING MODE - NOT ECO OR SPORT. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY AND IS TOTALLY UNPREDICTABLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THE LAST TIME WAS ABOUT 3:30 PM ON 05/13/2018 IN THE 1.5 TO 2 SECOND DELAY THAT VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE MOVED 55 TO 73 FEET! AND I AM SURE THAT IS WHAT ANY VEHICLE BEHIND THE TUSCON WOULD EXPECT AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND OTHER VEHICLES ARE BEHIND YOU. I SPENT 15 YEARS IN FIRE & RESCUE AND HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF REAR-END ACCIDENTS. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WITH A 55 TO 73 FEET DELAY ZONE.

SERVICE BRAKES
AT AROUND 80,000 MILES A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED WHILE MY WIFE WAS BRAKING TO AVOID A TRUCK THAT HAD CUT IN FRONT OF HER. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM SUBSEQUENTLY FAILED. THE TUCSON EVENTUALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE DRIVER'S FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A QUALIFIED MECHANIC. WE'VE NOW REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES HOWEVER NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SPONGY AND DOES NOT STOP AS WELL.

I HAVE NOTICED PERSONS REPORTING THE SAME ISSUE I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING: MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ACCELERATION ISSUES THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO THE ATTENTION OF THE NTSB. THE VEHICLE WILL EXPERIENCE LACK OF ACCELERATION WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS AND/OR MAKING TURNS THAT REQUIRE ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, I WOULD TRY TO GO AND IT SEEMED LIKE THE CAR WOULD PAUSE, AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY ACCELERATE. IT IS SCARY, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND FOR A POSSIBLE INCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. NOT THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AT RANDOM INSTANCES. FROM TURNING, TO ACCELERATING FROM AT A STOP, TURNING, TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE IS NOT COMMON SPEED THIS IS RELATED TO.

SOME TIMES CAR WILL NOT MOVE THOUGH GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED FROM VERY LOW SPEED TO ACCELERATE. HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES TO ME AND JUST BOUGHT CAR IN FEB 2018. I HAVE EVEN FLOORED THE PEDAL WHICH I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO IN ANY OTHER CAR I'VE OWNED SINCE I'VE HAD A LICENSE TO GET IT TO MOVE. I MADE A 3 PT TURN YESTERDAY AND GETTING READY TO COME OUT OF IT DIDN'T WANT TO MOVE RIGHT AWAY AND A CAR WAS APPROACHING ME FROM BEHIND ON A SIDE STREET LEAVING A FESTIVAL. I'VE ALSO MADE U-TURNS AND GETTING READY TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC IT HESITATES WHICH IS DANGEROUS. IT STOPS INSTEAD OF GOING EVEN THOUGH GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. I DON'T TRUST CAR TO MOVE PROPERLY FROM SLOW SPEED TO ACCELERATION. I'VE REPORTED IT TO HYUNDAI AND CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID DOUBLE CLUTCH BUT IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED OR A RECALL ON IT. I HAVE READ MANY OF THE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINTS. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT ENOUGH TIMES. IT CAN BE VERY SLUGGISH AND I BOUGHT CAR WITH UNDER 10,000 MILES ON IT JUST RECENTLY. FOR A TURBO IT SEEMS STRANGE WAY IT REACTS. THIS IS MY 2ND HYUNDAI. MY 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON WAS FINE. NEVER THOUGHT I'D HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM FOR MY 2012 PERFORMS WELL AND IS SPUNKY. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. I PLAN TO CALL DEALER TO TAKE IT IN SOON TO SEE IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING. I THOUGHT HYUNDAI WAS SAFE CARS TOO IS WHY I WAS GOING FOR ANOTHER ONE. TO KEEP THEIR REPUTATION THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING AND NOT KEEP SELLING THESE CARS WITH KNOWN PROBLEM. I AM AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER BUT NEW DRIVERS MAY TAKE CHANCES MOVING INTO TRAFFIC WITH THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. I SOME TIMES MAKE SURE I HAVE PLENTY OF SPACE BEFORE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC IF POSSIBLE. I HOPE IT DOESN'T TAKE A FATALITY FOR THEM TO SERIOUSLY LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I HAD BEEN DRIVING MY 2016 HYUNDAI, TUCSON, FOR OVER 5 HOURS ON HIGHWAY. AFTER TAKING A BREAK, AND RETURNING BACK TO HIGHWAY, MY CAR SUDDENLY BEGAN ACCELERATING FROM MY 60MPH SPEED TO OVER 80MPH. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL AND TAPPED BRAKE PEDAL. THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOOR WITH NO RESISTANCE, AS THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY PULLING CAR OFF HIGHWAY, I APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP CAR. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM, AND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE CAR IS ROUTINELY IN FOR SERVICE.
