POWER TRAIN
I'VE NOTICED A LAG IN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL MANY TIMES, BUT THERE HAVE BEEN SPECIFIC INSTANCES WHERE IT'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT. I WAS PULLING ACROSS TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT FROM A STOP, AND IT FELT AS THOUGH THE ENGINE STALLED AND TOOK ABOUT 5 SECONDS TO CATCH. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHEN PULLING INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT THAT IS ON A HILL, I OFTEN GET STUCK FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS BEFORE IT CATCHES.

THE RIGHT PASSENGER BRAKE LIGHT SAYS IT IS OUT. WITHIN SAME DAY OR SOON AFTER WILL BE WORKING AGAIN. I REPLACE THE LIGHT BULB IT STOPS WORKING THE SAME DAY OR SHORTLY THEREAFTER. SOUNDS LIKE A WIRE ISN'T WORKING PROPERLY. IT WILL BE WORKING THE WHOLE DAY AND SUDDENLY WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE IT GOES OUT.

POWER DOOR LOCKS/DOOR ACTUATORS STOP WORKING WHICH PREVENTS DOOR FROM OPENING FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE ON BOTH REAR DOORS AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. DOORS WOULD REMAIN LOCKED AFTER DRIVING MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OUT OF VEHICLE FOR ANY PASSENGERS.

VEHICLE DELAY TO ACCELERATE. RPMS GO UP TO 5000 BEFORE ACCELERATION KICKS IN. ALSO LAG TIME FROM STOP TO 20 MILES PER HOUR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC IT WOULD LUNGE FORWARD. ALSO WITH ACCELERATING ON A HILL IT WOULD ROLL BACKWARDS BEFORE GOING FORWARD CAPTURING GAS. I HAVE SEEN OTHER REPORTS ON THIS VEHICLE WITH SAME ISSUES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TURBO WAS REPLACED I'M STILL WAITING FOR A FULL REPORT

ON OR ABOUT 8/17/2019, THE DATE AND TIME DISAPPEARED FROM THE DISPLAY. DEALERSHIP STATES THAT IT IS A HYUNDAI SATELLITE COMMUNICATION ERROR AFFECTING 100 OF THOUSANDS VEHICLES. NUMEROUS CONTACTS VIA TWITTER, FACEBOOK AND MYHYUNDAI WEBSITE HAVE NOT BEEN RESPONDED TOO. TELEPHONE CALLS TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER AWARENESS JUST REPEAT THAT HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THE SITUATION BUT NO FIX OR SOLUTION IS AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE NOT HAVING ACCESS TO THE TIME REQUIRES CHECKING CELL PHONE WHICH IN WASHINGTON STATE IS CONSIDERED DISTRACTED DRIVING AND IS ILLEGAL. SINCE USING VEHICLE FOR WORK, KNOWING THE TIME NUMEROUS TIMES DURING VARIOUS TRIPS AS WELL KIDS CONTINUALLY CHECKING THE TIME ON CELL PHONES A SAFETY ISSUE HAS DEVELOPED AND HYUNDAI IS IGNORING NOT ONLY THE PROBLEM BUT THE CAR OWNERS. NOT HAVING A WORKING CLOCK MAY SEEM TRIVIAL, BUT HAVING TO PICK UP A CELL PHONE TO CHECK THE CURRENT TIME IS DANGEROUS AND WOULD BE UNNECESSARY IF HYUNDAI FIXED A FEATURE THAT CAME WITH THE CAR.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE, FROM A STOP, TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC. IT SEEMS TO BE A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THE DEALER TOLD ME JUST LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IT. WE HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO THIS DEFECT AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE TUCSON. HYUNDAI TOO KNOWS OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS HAD NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAS ALSO BEEN LAW SUITS FOR THE LEMON LAW AGAINST THIS VEHICLE BUT, THE DEEP POCKETS OF HYUNDAI'S CORPORATE LAWYERS ALWAYS WINS OUT. DO PEOPLE HAVE TO BECOME SERIOUSLY INJURED OR PERHAPS DEAD BEFORE A RECALL HAPPENS? THE DATE BELOW REFLECTS THE LAST TIME I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE THE CAR STARTED TO MOVE AND THEN STOPPED.

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW. I'VE HAD IT FOR 3 YEARS. I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT DRIVES IT. I NOTICED THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES REQUIRES NUMEROUS PULLS, BEFORE THE DOOR WILL OPEN. DEALER SAID ACTUATOR HAS TO BE REPLACED. HOW DOES A BRAND NEW CAR WITH ONE DRIVER AND HARDLY ANY PASSENGERS DOOR ACTUATOR JUST BREAK? THIS HAS TO BE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. WHY SHOULD ANYONE HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS FIXED ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE? THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON.

EVER SINCE PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE WE HAVE EXPERIENCED HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP ON A CITY STREET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING AN UNPTOTECTED LEFT TURN AND THE CAR WON'T PICK UP AND GO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY MADE SOME ADJUSTMENT BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE PROBLEM.

BOTH REAR DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLIES STOPPED WORKING WITHIN 1 WEEK OF EACH OTHER. DOORS APPEAR TO LOCK AND UNLOCK, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE REGARDLESS OF UNLOCKED POSITION. READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE, YET THERE IS NO RECALL. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS I HAVE CHILDREN AND CLIENTS IN MY VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY. I CAN'T IMAGINE THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH AN ISSUE HAD THERE BEEN AN ACCIDENT AND A CHILD WAS TRAPPED IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO CALL AROUND TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS IN ORDER TO HAVE MY VEHICLE DIAGNOSED SINCE MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS A MONTH OUT. I CALLED AND REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO CORPORATE HYUNDAI AND IT WAS DISMISSED WITHOUT MUCH CONCERN. AFTER PAYING FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURING ISSUE, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED AT HYUNDAI'S LACK OF CONCERN OVER SUCH A SAFETY ISSUE. MILEAGE 66,000. VEHICLE REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY DAUGHTER HAS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. SHE HAS TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BECAUSE WHEN SHE STEPS ON THE GAS IT DOES NOT WANNA GO. I'M AFRAID SHE IS GONNA HER IN AN ACCIDENT WITH HER VEHICLE NOT WANT TO MOVE WHEN IT IS STUCK IN AN INTERSECTION. I REALLY FEEL THAT THEY NEED TO LOOK AT IT AND CHECK IT AGAIN BECAUSE THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. IT ALWAYS FEELS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL OUT AND JUST DOES NOT WANT TO GO ANYWHERE. THANK YOU THIS HAS HAPPENED MORE THAN ONCE IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME SHE DRIVES HER CAR
