RECENTLY BOUGHT 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED AND THE CAR HAS 29,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND REMOVE MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE THE CAR WITH SHAKE AS IT IS ABOUT TO STALL OUT AND THEN FINALLY KICK IN AND START MOVING FORWARD NORMALLY. I'VE TRIED TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND HAD THE CAR STALL FOR A SECOND BEFORE GOING FORWARD. I DON'T FEEL SAFE PULLING OUT UNLESS I HAVE ENOUGH TIME FOR THE OTHER CAR TO STOP JUST IN CASE THE CAR DOES STALL OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEAL THAT THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO ACT LIKE THIS. DEALERS SEEM TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT SINCE THE COMPUTER DOESN'T THROW UP A FLAG THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

EVERY DAY MY CAR STUTTERS AS I BEGIN MY DAY TO WORK. IT LAGS IN ACCELERATION AT LEAST ONE TO THREE TIMES A DAY. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN I ACCELERATE IN RUSH HOUR, TRYING TO GO AFTER A LIGHT TURNS GREEN, OR SPEEDING UP JUST IN GENERAL. I HAVE KIDS IN MY CAR CONSTANTLY BECAUSE OF MY JOB AND I CAN RECALL TWO TIMES THAT I'VE ALMOST BEEN HIT BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T DO AS I NEEDED IT TO. IT HAS FREAKED ME OUT AND I WONDER IF I'M GOING TO GET STUCK ONE DAY, IT SPUTTERS AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE MY RIDE HOME IS GUARANTEED. I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TURBO THING, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER OWNED A CAR WITH TURBO BUT NOW I'M REALIZING OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME OR MY DRIVING. IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY, IT HAPPENS ON THE CITY STREET AND IT HAPPENS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR AND I'M SAD TO SAY I'VE THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY MAKE AND MODEL THIS WHOLE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE HESITATED, QUIVERED, AND SOMETIMES STALLED WHILE COMING OUT OF A TURN AND CHANGING LANES. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY TAKEN TO MURDOCK HYUNDAI (4646 S. STATE ST, MURRAY, UT) WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED; THE DOORS AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKED WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK BUT WHEN THE PASSENGERS TRIED TO LEAVE THROUGH THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR IT WOULD NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE. I TRIED OPENING THE HANDLE FROM OUTSIDE THINKING IT WAS CHILD LOCKS BUT THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN THAT WAY EITHER. BOTH HANDLES MOVE BUT NOTHING HAPPENS, AND I HAVE MADE SURE THE LOCK IS FULLY UNLOCKED. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS POWER LOCK ACTUATOR. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO OPEN THIS DOOR WITHOUT SPECIFIC TOOLS. NOTHING HAS HIT THE DOOR INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.

THE DOOR LATCHES RANDOMLY STOP WORKING AND PASSENGERS CANNOT ENTER OR EXIT VEHICLE. STARTED WITH MY REAR DOOR SO I HAD THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR REPLACED AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO THE FRONT DOORS. I HAVE FRIENDS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE SAME YEAR AND ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH ALL THE DOORS. THIS COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS AT THE WRONG TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY RESPOND AND THEN SUDDENLY ACCELERATED/LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WOULD ALSO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. ALSO, ON OCCASION, THE ENGINE AND RPMS WOULD REV VERY HIGH WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE SPEED WOULD NOT INCREASE, WHICH MADE IT VERY DIFFICULT WHILE PASSING OTHER VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PRESTIGE HYUNDAI (768 E. CHESTER ST, KINGSTON, NY), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT DUPLICATED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.

I CANNOT ACCELERATE INTO TRAFFIC. THERE IS A HESITATION IN THE ACCELERATOR. SOMETIMES NOTHING HAPPENS, SOMETIMES IT CHUGS FIRST THEN GOES. I HAVE TROUBLE MERGING AND GETTING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS UNRELIABLE FROM A STATIONARY TO MOVEMENT.

NOT LONG AFTER THE PURCHASE OF MY 2016 TUCSON, PROBABLY WHEN I FIRST STARTED USING THE AC THE FIRST SUMMER I OWNED IT, I STARTED TO GET SOME MUSTY SMELLS COMING FROM THE VENTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN WORSE EACH YEAR AND CHANGING THE CABIN AIR FILTER DOESN'T SEEM TO HELP. I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CAR, AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING CARS FOR 40 YEARS. THE SMELL SEEMS TO POP UP IN HUMID WEATHER WHEN USING THE AC. I WORRY THAT THE EVAPORATOR COIL MAY BE GROWING MOLD OR MICROBES.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EVEN AFTER REPROGRAMMING OF MY 2016 TUCSON DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), I STILL WORRY ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE CAR. TRANSMISSION IS STILL HERKY-JERKEY WHEN CREEPING ALONG IN TRAFFIC. ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS AT HIGHER SPEED (SAY MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 50-70 MPH) THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN SLOW TO CHANGE GEARS, AND ON AT LEAST ONE OCCASION THE TRANSMISSION TEMPORARILY WENT INTO A "NEUTRAL' STATE TEMPORARILY DISCONNECTED FROM POWER TRANSFER FROM THE ENGINE. IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN SAY WHEN CROSSING TRAFFIC IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS.

THE CAR STALLED(DID NOT ACCELLERATE WHILE MERGING IN TO TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS . THIS REQUIRED ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO BRAKE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 40MPH ON A STREET CIRCLING A MALL.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OWNING THIS CAR WHICH ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 13800 MILES ON IT I HAVE SINCE CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE ARE NO OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND NO SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. I THEREFORE THINK THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE DCT AND ENGINE SOFTWARE/HARDWARE THAT COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT.

YOU RANDOMLY GET NO RESPONSE WHEN ACCELERATING TO MOVE INTO TRAFFIC..LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING ANY GAS, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU CAN FEEL TRANSMISSION GOING INTO GEAR AS IT FINALLY CATCHES. WHEN IN SLOW, CRAWLING FREEWAY TRAFFIC, IT'S ALWAYS JERKING WHEN BARELY MOVING- AS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION DOES WHEN YOU DON'T GIVE IT ENOUGH GAS...FIRST TIME ISSUES HAPPENED WHEN I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ON A 50MPH HIGHWAY AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC FROM A STOP. THIS IS NOT A SOUND VEHICLE IN MY OPINION. YOU NEVER KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO MAKE TURNS INTO TRAFFIC OR JUST LEAVING A PARKING SPOT..YOU GET THE HERKY-JERKY UNTIL TRANSMISSION CATCHES. AND IT'S NOT ALL THE TIME, VERY RANDOM. FREEWAY DRIVING IS FINE SO FAR, WHICH IS WHAT MOST OF MY COMMUTE IS. BUT UNTIL REACHING FREEWAY SPEEDS, IT'S ALWAYS A WORRISOME DRIVE.

THERE IS AN ACCELERATION RECALL ON SOME OF THE 2016 TUCSON'S MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THERE BUT I'M HAVING THE EXACT PROBLEMS THAT THEY'RE RECALLING THE CAR FOR I GO TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT MY CAR IS FINE BUT IT ISN'T. I'VE BEEN STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION SEVERAL TIMES I'VE HAD MY CAR MAKE THIS GRINDING SOUND WHEN I APPLY THE GAS FROM A STOP AND MY CAR IS SITTING THERE. OTHERS THAT HAVE DRIVEN WITH ME HAVE WITNESS THIS HAPPENED BUT THE DEALERSHIP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS FROM A STOP EXAMPLE IF I'M AT A STOPLIGHT APPLY THE BRAKES TO GO AND THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING SOUND OR SOMETIMES WHEN I'M GOING AROUND A CORNER AFTER A STOP IT WILL HESITATE AND I'LL BE STUCK IN THE INTERSECTION

CAR DOESN'T ALWAYS ACCELERATE WHEN YOU PUSH GAS PEDDLE.I HAVE TO WAIT TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I AM NOT SURE CAR WILL GO WHEN I HIT GAS.NEVER KNOW WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN. ONLY HAPPENS FROM A STOP OR GOING SLOW.THE HYUNDAI DEALER SAID THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION IN THE 2019 TUCSON.I AM SURE THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT UNLESS ENOUGH PEOPLE GET HURT OR KILLED.I KNOW TWO OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME VEHICLE AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
