ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. AFTER ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE THEN JERKED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI (100 HAVANA ST, AURORA, CO 80010) WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY UPDATED THE ECM SOFTWARE, WHICH SHOULD REPAIR THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO SHORTLINE HYUNDAI EACH TIME WHERE THE SOFTWARE WAS UPDATED AGAIN; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE MANAGER, WHO FAILED TO ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V628000 (POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. UPDATED 11/01/17*LJ

WHILE DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SUCH AS A LEFT TURN OR ON THE FREEWAY AT RUSH HOUR, MY VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY CEASE TO ACCELERATE. YOU CAN AUDIBLY HEAR THE CLUTCHES GRINDING INSTEAD OF TICKING AS THEY USED TO AS WELL. THE DCT SEEMS TO PUT THE CAR IN A NEUTRAL STATE UPON STOP AND GO, AND, NOT MOVE. THIS INCLUDES WHEN I HAVE BEEN ON THE FREEWAY IN RUSH HOUR AS WELL AS I HAVE BEEN STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION ON A LEFT HAND TURN AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO ACCELERATE FOR AT LEAST 5 SECONDS. HYUNDAI MOTOR CORP. OF AMERICA STATES THIS IS NORMAL FUNCTIONING FOR THE VEHICLE AND THAT PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO USE THE DCT. I AM SUPPOSED TO APPARENTLY GET OUT OF MY CAR ON THE FREEWAY AND ASK OTHER DRIVERS TO PLEASE HOLD OFF FROM SLAMMING INTO MY BACK END AS THE DCT TAKES 3-5 SECONDS EXTRA TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO ACCELERATE IN STOP AND GO SITUATIONS. I HAVE HAD IT INTO HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE 1X, RODEO HYUNDAI OF SURPRISE 2X, AND, HYUNDAI OF PEORIA 1X FOR THESE ISSUES. I AM VERY AFRAID OF THIS CAR AND HYUNDAI NOW THAT THEY HAVE SEEN THE CAR FOR REPAIRS WILL NO LONGER HONOR THE WARRANTY WORK. THE SERVICE GM OF HYUNDAI PEORIA STATED WHILE ON SPEAKER WITH HYUNDAI AMUSA THAT THEY ARE IN FACT SEEING THIS ISSUE WEEKLY BUT, HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT AND THEY DON'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED WITH ANY POSSIBLE ARBITRATION AT THEIR DEALERSHIP! I ALSO HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A SECOND OPINION AWAY FROM HYUNDAI AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HYUNDAI OF AVONDALE TECH EXPERIENCED WHAT I SAID WAS WRONG WITH THIS DEATH TRAP VEHICLE AND IT SCARED HIM. THEY ACTUALLY APOLOGIZED FOR HAVING TO GIVE BACK MY CAR AND STOP AND PAYING FOR THE RENTAL. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND HYUNDAI AMCUSA DOESN'T WANT TO OWN UP TO IT. WILL IT TAKE SOMEONE DYING LIKE MYSELF BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED?

THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND SHIFTS IN APPROPRIATELY. WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL NOT, AND LEADS TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN AN INTERSECTION. IT IS AS IF THE CAR EITHER JUMPS/SHUDDERS OR STALLS WHEN YOU HIT THE GAS. THEREFORE, ONCOMING TRAFFIC CAN HIT YOU. MOST OF THE ISSUES OCCUR WHEN BEGINNING ACCELERATION FROM A STOP.

WHILE STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TUCSON WON'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH WITHOUT FORWARD PROGRESS. THIS IS A SLAM-DUNK SAFETY ISSUE, AND I EXPECT A RECALL WILL BE THE RESULT. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS PLUS MOVING THE CAR INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT MOVED. ( ABOUT 30 SECONDS) ONCE THE CAR MOVED , I COULD SMELL THE CLUTCHES BURNING.

MY TUCSON WILL RANDOMLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY WILL NOT MOVE AND THEN WILL LURCH FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A RECALL PERFORMED TWICE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IN ADDITION, THIS WEEK THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND NOW THEIR IS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AND WHAT FEELS LIKE A WOBBLE UNDER THE FRONT PEDALS.

UPON RELEASING THE BRAKES AFTER A STOP, THE VEHICLE STARTS TO ROLL AND IMMEDIATELY STARTS JERKING VIOLENTLY WHILE APPLYING THE THROTTLE PART WAY. ON AN INCLINE, FLAT, OR DECLINE IT DOESN'T MATTER. ONCE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND PICKING UP SPEED IT SEEMS TO BE OKAY. IT JUST SEEMS TO OCCUR FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEED.

INTERMITTENT ACCELERATION ISSUES. UPON TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR VERY SLOW ROLL, THE CAR STARTS TO GO BUT WILL NOT ACCELERATE OR WILL SHUTTER UPON ACCELERATION. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF ONE IS TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC OR CROSS AN INTERSECTION. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES.

I PURCHASED A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON DECEMBER 2016. THE FOLLOWING CAMPAIGNS ARE ON MY VEHICLE AND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER HYUNDAI'S: MFR CAMPAIGN/SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: T1B MANUFACTURER CAMPAIGN ID: T1B 2016-17 TUCSON DCT CONTROL LOGIC UPDATE I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI ON JUNE 28TH FOR THIS RECALL. RIGHT AWAY I NOTICED A CHANGE IN HOW THE VEHICLE DROVE. HOWEVER NOT EVEN A MONTH LATER THE VEHICLE STARTED DRIVING LIKE IT DID PRIOR TO THE "FIX". A COMPLETE STOP TO ACCELERATION IS NOT SMOOTH, THE VEHICLE JERKS EXTREMELY HARD AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T RESPOND. OTHER TIMES IT DOESN'T REAPOND AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF. TRYING TO ACCELERATE TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY OR INTO ANY FLOW OF TRAFFIC IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT A CLOSE CALL WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND SCARY TO DRIVE. NOT TO MENTION DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC HAS BECOME A "WHEN WILL I CAUSE AN ACCIDENT" MOMENT BECAUSE OF THE STOP TO ACCELERATION LAG, JERK AND THEN RANDOM ACCELERATION WHICH ALMOST REDLINES. I HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND I CAN TELL YOU THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE FOR ALL THOSE ON THE HIGHWAY, INCLUDING MYSELF AND THE VEHICLE HAS BECOME A COMPLETE NUISANCE TO DRIVE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS HYUNDAI HAS CLAIMED THEY HAVE FIXED THIS ISSUE WITH A SIMPLE UPDATE, AND THE 2017S SHOULD BE OKAY, HOWEVER THE WAY MY VEHICLE DRIVES WOULD ARGUABLY DISAGREE AND PROVE THAT TO BE WRONG. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO OPEN A FULL RECALL OF THESE VEHICLES UNTIL THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BEFORE PEOPLE GET KILLED BECAUSE OF IT. IF NOT THOSE DEATHS WILL BE ON HYUNDAIS HANDS.

VEHICLE WON'T ACCELERATE FROM A STOP. WHEN STOPPED AND THE GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED, ACCERATION IS EXTREMELY SLOW AND AFTER 3-5 SECONDS OF DEPRESSING THE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WILL FINALLY ACCELERATE AS NORMAL. IT OCCURS WITH AND WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING ON. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED MAINTENANCE ON MY SUV, BUT OUT THE BLUE, LAST WEEKEND 7/29-30 I WAS AT A LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND SOMETHING BROKE IN THE ENGINE AREA, I HEARD A SNAP, IT SOUNDED LIKE A BELT. WELL, I FLAT BED TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY AMAZEMENT, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE? THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $8,000.00. I RELIGIOUSLY HAD EVERY WARRANTY SERVICE DONE AND THEY CAME BACK WITH MY CRANK SHANK PINS AND PISTONS WERE WORN OUT AND ROD KNOCKING WAS TAKEN PLACE, PLUS NO MORE ROD BEARINGS. I ASKED WHAT COULD OF CAUSED THIS AND HE STATED, "LACK OF OIL?". I NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE ON THE SUV, SO HOW COULD THIS BE?? ALSO, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL PAIN AND CYLINDER 2 AND 3 GONE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SANTA FE SUV 2011-2013, KIA 2011-2014 WHEREBY THE SAME THING CRANKPINS, METAL SHAVINGS FOUND, THE EXACT WORDING FROM THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (FOUND ONLINE) IS "DURING MACHINING OF THE ENTIRE ENGINE, CRANKSHAFT AND CRANKPINS, METAL SHAVINGS MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT WITHIN THE CRANKSHAFT OIL PASSAGES, OIL MAY BE BLOCKED AND CAUSE THE CONNECTING RODS TO WEAR, WHICH WOULD THEN CAUSE HEM TO FAIL AND SEIZE THE ENGINE. NOW, THEY DIDN'T LIST MY VEHICLE, BUT IT'S THE EXACT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ENGINE! ALSO, THIS OCCURRED AT EXACTLY 100,000 MILES WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW, THE SERVICE ADVISORS ARE BEING HORRID AND HEATED EXCHANGES ARE GOING ON WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP TEAM ON MY CAR REPAIR. IT'S STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M IN AN EXPENSIVE RENTAL. I HAD JUST MADE MY LAST PAYMENT....

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM HAS FAILED TO ENGAGE. IT OCCURS WHEN I AM STOPPED AND PRESS THE PEDAL TO ACCELERATE THE CAR. THE CAR FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GOING TO STALL AND DOES NOT MOVE FORWARD. THIS HAS PUT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS WHEN I BELIEVE I HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO TURN, BUT WHEN THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND, MY TIME AVAILABLE TO TURN IS REDUCED. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEHAVIOR AND IT IS THE NATURE OF A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE SERVICE MAN SAID THAT IT TAKES TIME FOR THE COMPUTER TO DETERMINE WHAT IT IS GOING TO DO NEXT AND I NEED TO GIVE IT THAT TIME.
