STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
PASSENGER SIDE DOORS - FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR, THEN THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR - STOPPED OPENING. FRONT PASSENGER DOOR WAS ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE (ROLLING DOWN WINDOW), BUT THE BACK DOOR HAD THE CHILD LOCK ENGAGED SO COULD NOT BE OPENED AT ALL. ANALYSIS AT DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS (IN BOTH CASES) THE ACTUATOR AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAD MY 3 YEAR OLD IN CHILDSEAT IN BACK AND COULD NOT GET TO HER QUICKLY. I'VE NOW MOVED HER CAR SEAT TO THE OTHER SIDE, HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO ENGAGE THE CHILDLOCK ON THAT DOOR IN CASE THE SAME THING HAPPENS - THEN I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO REACH HER AT ALL - THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME.

IT ALL STARTED OUT WITH THE DRIVER DOOR. THE PUSH BUTTON FELL OFF, THE DOOR WAS STILL ABLE TO OPEN BUT NOW THE WIRES ARE EXPOSED. THE CO-PILOT DOOR FAILED AT OPENING. YOU HAVE TO PULL IT THREE TIMES BEFORE IT OPENS. THEN THE CO-PILOT WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. WENT TO GO GET IT FIXED AND THEY SAID THE DOOR SHOULD BE FIXED AFTER REPLACING THE MOTOR. FALSE. DOOR STILL DOES NOT WORK. REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUT. COULD BE A RISK SINCE NOW ONLY ONE DOOR IN THE BACK IS OPERABLE. THE WINDOW FROM THE DRIVER DOOR STOPPED OPERATING. THAT IS NOW THREE OF 4 DOORS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS IS A RECALL? ALSO WHEN THE PASSENGER WINDOW GOT FIXED THEY SAID THE PLASTIC MOTOR WAS SLIGHTLY MELTED?! FIRE HAZARD.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING, THE GAS PEDAL WILL BE PUSHED DOWN BUT CAR WILL STALL AND NOT GO. THE ENGINE WILL REV UP, BUT THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL ACCELERATE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN COASTING IN RUSH-HOUR, ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL MAKE JERKING MOVEMENTS. IT HAS BEEN TAKEN TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT IS A DUAL-TRANSMISSION SO I JUST NEED TO BE MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH IT WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN. I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE REVISITED AS THERE HAVE OBVIOUSLY BEEN ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND HAS BEEN AN ISSUE PREVIOUSLY.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN STARTING FROM A FULL STOP THE CAR HESITATES FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING; MAKING IT UNRELIABLE AND DANGEROUS TO PULL OUT. WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY IN TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT THE CAR BECOMES VERY JERKY AS IF RUNNING OUT OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY WE BOUGHT IT. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER SHIP TO BE CHECKED OUT THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT IS WORKING THE WAY THAT IT SHOULD.WE HAVE LOST OUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS CAR AND FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE,

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
MY VEHICLE IS EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH POWER. MY CAR HAS STOP ON THE HWY AND HAS CLANKING NOISE WHEN IT GETS CLOSE TO 4000RPM. IT'S SLOW TO SPEED UP AND SOMETIMES STAYS AT 50MPH NO MATTER HOW LONG MY FOOT IS ON THE ACCELERATOR. I'VE TAKEN IT IN TO GET LOOKED AND EVEN HAD A TUNE UP AND IT'S THE SAME ISSUE. IN REVERSE IT'S FINE BUT GOING FORWARD THAT'S WHEN YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR THE PROBLEMS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T HAVE $5000 FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT'S INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE POWER TRAIN. IT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED!

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. IT UNLOCKS AND CAN BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ONCE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE AFTER BEING UNLOCKED, YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND RE-OPEN AGAIN FROM THE OUTSIDE LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC ISSUE, NOT A HARDWARE ISSUE WITH THE LATCH. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH HYUNDAI. HAVING ALL DOORS WORK IS CERTAINLY AN SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE IN PARK WITH THE VEHICLE ON OR OFF.

ENGINE
2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON WITH 143K LOST ENGINE 3-4Q OF OIL IN LESS THAN 1,000 MILES TO THE POINT ENGINE ALMOST SEIZED. NO SENSORS FOR CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK OIL LIGHTS EVER CAME ON. THIS COULD'VE BEEN A SAFETY ISSUE IF NOT DETECTED IF THE ENGINE SEIZED IN OPERATION WITH NO WARNING. THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO ASSIST IN THE REPAIR AND THE ENGINE WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT OWNERS EXPENSE

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE CAR DOESNT GO WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS, PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC IS DANGEROUS. THE PROBLEM EXASTURBATED WHEN THE CARS 1ST 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING. AND ANYTIME I GO FROM A COMPLETE STOP FOR LONGER THAN 30 SECONDS, THERE IS LITTLE MOMENTUM, WHETHER I'M TURNING OR GOING FORWARD. I HAVE TO USE THE 7 SPEED MANUAL TO ENSURE SAFETY PULLING OUT INTO CROSS TRAFFIC, THE RESULTS COULD BE DEADLY. THE CAR HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN SEVERAL TIMES, BUT ROUTE 60 HYUNDAI, VERO BEACH IS RUDE! GETTING A LOANER FOR THIS RECALL WAS HORRIFIC THE 1ST TIME, AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE ME A VEHICLE THE 2ND, 3RD OR 4TH TIME. #2 THE DOORS AND WINDOWS, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR AND THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR, DO NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT, AS WELL AS THE PASSENGER WINDOW NO LONGER OPERATES, GOD FORBID THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO ESCAPE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD 4 RECALLS, 1 BEING THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE GETS SCARIER EVERY DAY, AND I AM DISABLED ALREADY. I DONT WANT TO DIE IN THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE ONE DOOR HANDLE (BACK PASSENGER SIDE) THAT HAS BROKEN OFF, ONE DOOR HANDLE (FRONT DRIVERS) STARTING TO FAIL WHERE I HAVE TO PULL IT 2 TIMES TO OPEN THE DOOR. ALSO, THE FRONT 2 WINDOWS WILL NO LONGER ROLL DOWN AND THE BACK PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL UP. I AM UNABLE TO FIX THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DUE TO THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE THAT HAS COMPLETELY MADE THE DOOR INOPERABLE FROM INSIDE OR OUT AND IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AS A PASSENGER IN THE BACK SEAT CAN NOT EXIT THROUGH THAT DOOR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ALL FOUR OF MY WINDOWS HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THE MOTOR PART WORKS B/C I CAN HEAR IT...THE WINDOW JUST DOESN'T GO UP OR DOWN. IT'S LIKELY OFF THE TRACKS. I CAN UNDERSTAND ONE BUT ALL FOUR.....SERIOUSLY ALL FOUR WINDOWS DO NOT WORK. ALL THIS HAPPENED COICIDENTALLY JSUT AS I HIT THE 65,000 MILE MARK WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HTE DRIVER SIDE THAT I WAS ABLE TO GET UNDER WARRANTY. IF THERE IS A RECALL NEEDED IT'S FOR THE WINDOWS!

THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN AFTER BEING LOCKED AND UNLOCKED. IF YOU TAP FIRMLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE DOOR WITH THE CAR UNLOCKED, THE DOOR WILL OPEN AND CLOSE JUST FINE UNTIL THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AGAIN. I'VE DONE LOTS OF ONLINE RESEARCH AND THERE SEEMS TO BE MANY HYUNDAI OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

I HAVE A 2016 TUCSON SPORT WITH 62000 MILES ON IT. I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE AC BLOWING HOT AIR ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS.. I TOOK IT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED A DEFECTIVE COMPRESSOR, THE TORQUE LIMITER HAD INTERNALLY SHEARED DUE TO BINDING. NOW 4.5 MONTHS LATER IT'S BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. I'VE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIXED, THE STEERING COLUMN, HOUSING, AND MDPS MODULE ASSEMBLY REPLACED AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
NOT LONG AFTER I GOT THE CAR I BEGAN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. MY CAR WOULD BE VERY SLOW TO RESPOND WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHICH COULD HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS COLLISIONS (FOR EXAMPLE, THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE I'M TURNING LEFT AND NEED TO GO BEFORE ONCOMING TRAFFIC REACHES ME BUT THE CAR HESITATES TO MOVE. THIS HESITATION IS ALSO OFTEN EVIDENT WHEN I'M TRYING TO SPEED UP AND MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY). I ENDED UP EMAILING HYUNDAI USA IN MARCH OF 2017 TO INFORM THEM OF MY ACCELERATION ISSUES. I WAS SURPRISED TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL AND A PHONE CALL BACK, AND WAS HOPEFUL THEY WOULD PROVIDE SOME ANSWERS THAT WOULD HELP FIX THE ISSUE, BUT IN THE END, THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS BASICALLY 'WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO ABOUT IT?' I AM NOW EXPERIENCING ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN PARKED FOR A LITTLE WHILE IT WILL JERK AND SHUDDER AS I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO DO THIS AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP.

POWER TRAIN
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUSCON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCED JERKING AND VIBRATION. THE FAILURE MAINLY OCCURRED FROM A STANDING START. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (KING HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 1399 S FEDERAL HWY, DEERFIELD BEACH, FL 33441) WHO PERFORMED A SOFTWARE UPGRADE BUT THE FAILURES CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,200.

REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. IT IS UNLOCKED AND THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS ARE NOT ENGAGED. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING FROM INSIDE NOR PULLING FROM OUTSIDE WILL MOVE THE DOOR. THIS HAPPENED AFTER THE CAR HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY FOR 3 DAYS WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. THERE HAVE BEEN NO IMPACTS, ETC. TO THE VEHICLE WHATSOVER. WE WENT OUT TO GO FOR A DRIVE AND COULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR FOR MY TODDLER TO GET IN.
