2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON Vehicle Speed Control Problems

Drove into a parking space, with the foot pressing on the brake pedal, the car suddenly and without warning rapidly accelerated uncontrolled causing the vehicle to accelerate past the end of the parking space causing property damage.

Engine or transmission The vehicle has stalled randomly multiple times on the freeway, business roads and intersections, not accelerating and burning through oil Dealership says they cannot figure out or replicate the issue No check engine light or warning of any kind given

I leased a 2016 hyundai tucson from Metcalf Auto Plaza [XXX]. Every week since then i have had to return the car for repairs. It got to a point where Neil suggested he can trade it for another but each and every vehicle i test drove to replace my car was NOT ready to be on the road but according to them every car had just got out the shop. Instead of trying to have issues resolved the mechanics decide to make "jokes" as if your pain and suffering is a joke. Since i did not want a trade in and wanted my car fixed instead Neil tried to tell me that this was my final offer which i declined because why not just fix my car? I went to talk to Neil in person September 9, 2025 about getting my car fixed and the frustrations i am having because having to return the car weekly and i havent had it for a month is outrageous. [XXX] i was driving the hyundai on the highway with my children in the car and the electricity to the car completely cut off but came right back on, i got off the highway and the car did it again and this time the wheel locked up and i almost wrecked the car. I called metcalf and the only thing they could tell me was they can tow my car to metcalf but me and my children had to find our own means of transportation. Every time i called to have my car serviced and told them about what i would hear and feel they could NEVER make the car "do it again". I am beyond frustrated, upset and terrified because i have been telling them about smoking coming from the engine, rattling noise etc. My kids lives were put in danger and the only thing they could say was "i apologize and we can tow the car to the shop". Did not care if we had transportation and have never offered to give us any after continously getting stranded in the car. Now the car is towed to their shop once again and the car wouldnt even turn over for me to get it out of the middle of the street. I was blocking traffic and had to have the police block INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA)

My catalytic converter caught on fire a couple months back then I hit a code for the knock sensor replaced it and it started to act up again I can’t go over 49 burning oil took it to Hyundai now they are saying my engine is going out and I’m still panting carmart got the car

original owner. Car shook badly and hesitated losing speed at 61k. dealership replaced all or four ignition coils and spark plugs. Car started and burning oil at 61,000 despite regular oil changes at 3500. Mostly done by the dealership. Car has been burning oil uses 1 quart every 500 miles. All four window regulators have stopped working. I replaced one.

car is in limp mode,will not accelerate.Oil consultant over a few years.Dealership has requested new engine twice and denied by Hyundai USA.i have to put flashers on just to get on highway so im not killed.I will drive down the street and back and my engine will be extremely hot for hours.I am limited to my hometown only.I can not go out of my hometown due to heat of engine and blowing hoses and water pumps which has happened.This car is a danger and I am in financial burden to high repairs and excuses from dealerships.i have spent over 16,000 dollars and 3 catalyc converters later due to clogging ,in result to oul consumption.This car is a lemon and has ruined my life for the last 3/4 years.lots of stress and financial expenses only to have the same problem

When accelerating, like taking off from a red light or through a turn, my car begins to shake like it’s unable to change gears correctly, and sometimes leads to the car stalling in the middle of the street and intersection putting my in danger of being hit from other drivers. It’s also happened that when I press the gas after being stopped at a light, my car RPM goes up but I don’t move and then the car jolts forward quickly. This has been happening for years and when I take it to Hyundai they tell me “that’s just how the car runs” which seems incredibly unsafe.

I had multiple occasions where the car would blink lates and make screaming noises when acceleration. The vehicle never had a smooth process of stopping and going. When stopped at a light, you could press the acceleration and it idle or not speed up than rev the RMPs and start to catch speed. It was very unsafe, I tried several attempts years ago at getting the vehicle maintenanced but only got rotors repaired from shaking and two other shops stating it was a recall and they could not service or fix the vehicle.

Oil consumption is excessive it has caused the engine to have a knocking noise even though routine oil changes have been up to date. Yes available for inspection. This may cause the engine to seize at any given point while in motion. No, I have not been able to take the vehicle to a dealership yet. No, vehicle has not been inspected. No, no check engine/warning light has turned on. Knocking noise began June 28th 2024.

The car did not accelerate after pressing gas pedal all way down. Encountered this while idling and trying to accelerate from a steady speed as well.

My 2016 Tucson Sport with Eco Shift has a dangerous problem with the transmission. Intermittently It will not move when I give it gas. The RPMS go up to 6000 but the car wont move. Its the DCT transmission. Today I took it in for the 3rd time and I don't want it back until its fixed. This is a very unsafe vehicle to drive since you would not know when it would just stop shifting and driving. Have registered a complaint with Hyundai Motors as the service department does not know when the vehicle will be repaired.

I was at a stop light, when I went to accelerate, the car would not move past 20 MPH. I pressed down on the pedal, and the gauge did not go past 20 MPH. After a few seconds, the car started to accurate, but it happened again at a second stop light a few minutes later.

1. My car will randomly not accelerate when the gas is being pressed. This has almost got me killed when making a left hand turn on more than 1 occasion now. The car also struggles with random shifting and power issues while going up steep hills at high speeds. 2. The front passenger side door and the rear drivers side passenger door just randomly stopped working with a week of each other. The rear wont open from the inside or outside. The front passenger side opens if you shake the handle back and forth multiple times (essentially trying to open it multiple times till it opens)

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that all four automatic windows failed to operate as needed. The front driver’s side window started failing and an appointment was scheduled with the dealer to repair the window. While testing the windows in the dealer parking lot after the repair, the front passenger’s side window fractured, and the dealer agreed to cover the cost of the repair free of charge. Over time, the rear windows started to lower independently, and the vehicle was repaired by an independent mechanic. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle intermittently failed to accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle lunge forward while accelerating. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.

Mileage: 20,000

The vehicle will not accelerate properly. Several times, I have been on the interstate, and the vehicle would barely increase in speed. Several instances have let to life threatening situations. Numerous times, I have gone to get on the interstate, and the vehicle would slow to nearly a stop, and even when having no other choice but to floor the gas pedal, it still would not accelerate. I've been forced to go off the road, in the middle of the interstate, so many times I've lost track. It's dangerous, and needs to be addressed immediately. I'm considering a lawsuit.

Upon acceleration onto highway or up a hill the car at times will rev and not shift or move /increase speed. Getting onto the highway I have had to pull into the shoulder until vehicle snaps out of it and decides to shift. Extremely dangerous & happening more often than not now.

While back out of my driveway in my 2016 hyundai tucson, it suddenly accelerated on its own out of control rendering me helpless and just along for the ride. Finally stopped while in reverse the car went across the street crashing violently into my neighbors boat and engine was still reving until I shut it off after the crash. Both my car and neighbors boat had major damage.

When I go to accelerate my vehicle it does not accelerate properly. It actually slows down to the point of almost stopping. It is very dangerous when I am getting on the highway. I have had cars almost rear end me due to this issue. I travel with my children in this car.

All dashboard lights turned on and speedometer stopped working while driving. Vehicle accelerated and braked without driver input.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOWER SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO WORLD CAR HYUNDAI NORTH (12908 INTERSTATE 35 NORTH BLDG 2, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78233, (210) 667-2189) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REBOOTED 3 TIMES FOR AN UNKNOWN SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *JS

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES SUDDENLY WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. ALSO, IT TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING, CAUSING THE LOSS OF BRAKE AND STEERING CONTROLS. FINALLY, TRANSMISSION GEAR SWITCH WITHOUT INPUT WHILE DRIVING. THIS SITUATIONS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER ON 12/26/19; NO RESPONSE HAS BEEN RECEIVED EITHER FROM DEALER OR MANUIFACTURER.

Mileage: 76,530

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.

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,

Mileage: 19,000

WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, VEHICLE STUDDERS AND HAS A HARD TIME PICKING UP SPEED (RPM GOES HIGH). WHEN TRYING ENTER INTO TRAFFIC IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE VEHICLE DOESN'T PICK UP SPEED.

GOT THIS CAR AT THE DEALERSHIP IN JULY LAST YEAR. A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED YOU WOULD NOTICE A HESITATION FROM THE CAR TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS THE GAS PEDAL WHILES DRIVING ON THE ROAD. THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD KNOCKING NOISES ONE MORNING AND BROKE DOWN WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET. GOT IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI SERVICE SHOP AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT MAKING A "GOODWILL" REPAIR WHICH WILL END UP COSTING $4800. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS NOTED FROM THE 2016 TUCSON OWNERS WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIR CARS. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED BEFORE FOR A TUCSON SECONDARY HOOD LATCH RECALL CAMPAIGN. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

MY CAR KEEPS HAVING ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION. IT STRUGGLES TO MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHEN I TRY TO GO TO 40 MPH. I FEAR FOR MY SAFETY ESPECIALLY GETTING INTO HIGHWAYS SINCE I STRUGGLE TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC UPON ENTERING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ALREADY AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. *TR

HI. I REPORTED THE CRUISE CONTROL MALFUNCTIONING TO TWO DIFFERENT HYUNDAI DEALERS, SERVICE DEPT. THE PROBLEM VARIES FROM NOT BE ABLE TO SET THE SPEED, TO NOT BEING ABLE TO LOWER THE SPEED, TO NOT RESPONDING TO CANCEL, BECAUSE CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY . ALL ACTIONS ARE BY USING THE CONTROL TOGGLES ON THE STEERING WHEEL CONSOLE. IT IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM, AS SOME TIMES IT WORKS FINE, AND FOR OTHER DRIVES IT WON'T ENGAGE AT ALL, OR WILL NOT DISENGAGE THE SPEED WHEN HITTING CANCEL. I CAN TAP THE BRAKE TO SLOW SPEED, WHICH CAN ALARM A DRIVER BEHIND MY LANE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BEHIND ME. THE SERVICE STAFF CAN NOT GET THE CRUISE CONTROL TO DUPLICATE ON A VEHICLE TEST DRIVES. SO WITH THAT, THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT REPLACE THE STEERING LINKAGE, OR ANY PART BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT PROVE IT IS FAULTY. I EXPLAINED HOW IT IS NOT SAFE, ESPECIALLY ON A HIGHWAY WITH NATURALLY HIGHER SPEEDS TO CONSIDER. WITH FIVE REPORTS OF THE FAULTY CRUISE CONTROL ON FILE, AT DIFFERENT HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTERS, THE UNSAFE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS IN THE TUSCON 2016 SUV. I HAVE PAPERWORK SHOWING REPORTED SAFETY CONCERNS SEPT 18, 2018, MAR 27, 2019, JUNE 3, 2019, AUGUST 15, 2019, OCT 16, 2019. PLUS A PERSONAL VIDEO OF PUSHING AND TOGGLING THE CONTROLS WITHOUT CRUISE RESPONSE.THAT IS OVER A YEAR OF THE REPORTING THE MALFUNCTIONING SPEED CONTROL. IT IS UNSAFE WITH NO SOLUTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A TEMPORARY HESITATION AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD LUNGE FORWARD AND THEN RETURN TO OPERATING AS INTENDED. WILLIAMS HYUNDAI LOCATED AT (2845 E SAGINAW ST, LANSING, MI 48912 517-484-1341) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HESITATION WAS NORMAL DUE TO THE DUAL CLUTCH THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.*DT

COMING FROM A STOP OR VERY LOW SPEEDS, I PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AND THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. SOMETIMES IT ACTUALLY SLOWS DOWN. WHEN IT DOES ENGAGE, THE CAR WILL LURCH FORWARD AT A HIGHER SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. OTHER 2016 TUCSONS ARE UNDER RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE DATES AND TIMES, SO THE ISSUE IS ONGOING.

HELLO, I BOUGHT A USED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO LESS THEN A MONTH AGO FROM AUTONATION THAT HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON FOR A P259F TROUBLE CODE FOR A TURBOCHARGER POSITION SENSOR THAT I HAD GOT FROM USING AUTONATION'S VEHICLE APP. NATURALLY , I CALLED AUTONATION TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BEFORE I BROUGHT MY IN VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I DID BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FROM MY TURBO, BUT THAT IT HAD GONE OFF AND THAT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, AND TO GO TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR A SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC IF THE ISSUE CONSISTED. ON THE SAME DAY OF GETTING MY CAR BACK, I STARTED NOTICING ENGINE PERFORMANCE ISSUES, MY ACCELERATION WOULD BE AFFECTED BY 1 TO 2 SECONDS WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO, AND WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY NOTICE THE THROTTLE IT WOULD JUMP KICK THE CAR. ALSO THE WORST OF ALL, IT ALSO CUT OUT AT ONE POINT WHERE IT DID NOT WANT TO GIVE ANY SORT OF THROTTLE AT ALL, I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO JUST GO 30 MPH. DURING THAT TIME I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BE REVVING HIGH WHILE NO SPEED WAS BEING GAINED, AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WHERE GOING OFF EITHER. BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN MAKING A TURN. WHAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THIS IS THE TURBO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, IS THAT THE WAY I GOT MY CAR TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY IS THAT I PARKED IT AND RESTARTED IT, AFTER THAT IT STARTED ACCELERATING NORMALLY, BUT AT TIMES THE ACCELERATION WOULD STILL BE AFFECTED.

THIS ISSUE RECUR AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT MADE US GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP 3YRS AGO. HYUNDAI OF SEATTLE SHOULD HAVE A FULL RECORD OF THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY THEN, OUR CAR SHOWS SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP TO GO. DOES NOT PICK UP ACCELERATIONS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. ON INCLINED OR CLIMB, ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME AND SEEMS TO SHAKE A BIT THEN STEADY ITSELF AFTER 2 MINS AS YOU STEP IN THE GAS TO KEEP IT IN MOTION

Mileage: 60,000

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.

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.

Mileage: 32,000

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM AN IDLE POSITION, CAR STRUGGLES TO SHIFT GEARS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN MAKING A TURN, USUALLY LEFT TURN, VEHICLE STALLS AND STRUGGLES TO ACCELERATE MAKING IT VERY DANGEROUS.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN I HIT THE GAS. HAS TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS.

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

WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN HIGHWAY AT APPROX. 40 MPH THE RPM REVVED UP TO 5 RPM AND WOULD NOT COME DOWN EVEN WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUTTING IT INTO PARK. I ALSO HAVE CONSTANT HESITATION WITH THE ENGINE WHEN STOPPING AT A LIGHT IN TOWN AND THEN MOVING FORWARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR JERKS AND THEIR IS DELAY TO GO WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE CAR WILL AT TIMES NOT GO INTO REVERSE WHEN TRYING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO COMPLETELY PUT CAR IN PARK AND TURN THE CAR OFF, THEN RESTART THE CAR AND PUT IT INTO REVERSE BEFORE I CAN BACK IT OUT SUCCESSFULLY.

Mileage: 93,000

I'VE OWNED MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR LESS THEN 1 MONTH NOW. ON 3 OCCASSIONS AFTER COMING TO A STOP AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE GAS PEDAL SEEMS TO FAIL. MY RPMS GO UP BUT THE VEHICLE DOESN'T ACCELERATE UNTIL PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL 3 TIMES OR MORE VERY HARD. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES ON IT. I WILL BE BRINGING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING AND ON COMING TRAFFIC IS COMING BUT THE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY KILL ME IF STRUCK WHILE MERGING ON TO THE FREEWAY. I'M NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE AND FEAR FOR MY SAFETY. A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO PULL THESE OFF THE ROADS!!

BOUGHT CERTIFIED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TURBO LTD WITH ECO AND DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. I'VE HAD IT FOR 5 DAYS. I BOUGHT IT FOR MY SON AND DAUGHTER TO ATTEND HIGH SCHOOL. THE CAR KEPT ACTING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AT EVERY STOP, IT KEPT STUTTERING, AND WHEN YOU ARE ACCELERATING AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDAL THE RPMS KEEP RISING, AND DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS. IT REFS AND RPM GOES UP BUT IT DOESN'T SWITCH GEARS UP OR DOWN SHIFT EITHER. THE ENGINE REVS HIGH AND WON'T SWITCH GEARS. IT'S LIKE IT WANTS TO ACCELERATE WHEN YOU WANT IT TO SLOW DOWN AND WHEN STOPPED IT WANTS TO STALL. TODAY IT HAPPENED. WE CAME TO A STOP SO WE COULD TURN LEFT ONTO AN ONRAMP ON HIGHWAY, (HAVE TO CROSS OVER OTHER LANE TO GO ON ON RAMP), AND IT STUTTERED AND STALLED ON OPPOSITE ONCOMING TRAFFIC SIDE, BEFORE WE COULD REACH THE RAMP. MY SON WAS DRIVING AND I WAS IN FRONT SEAT AND DAUGHTER WAS IN BACK SEAT, I GOT SCARED, AS YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT COMING OVER THE HILL ON SIDE WE STALLED (ONCOMING TRAFFIC). THE GUY SAW WE HAD STALLED AND RAN OUT AND STARTED WAVING SOMETHING DOWN. IT WAS AN ONCOMING SEMI. THANKFULLY HE WAS ABLE TO REDIRECT HIM OR WE WOULD HAVE BEEN STRUCK. WE GOT THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WERE ABLE TO GET HOME. I LOOKED UP WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND SAW THAT THERE WAS A MASS RECALL OF MY EXACT CAR MODEL, IN THE EXACT TIME FRAME OF VEHICLE BEING MADE. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE EXACT THINGS THAT ARE AND DID HAPPEN TO US. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM WHY THEY NEVER DIVULGED THIS INFORMATION AND THEY SAID THE DIDN'T KNOW. I READ ON THE NHTSA SITE THAT MY EXACT SUV, MADE THE SAME DATE, HYUNDAI HAD RECALLED, BUT MINE FOR SOME REASON IS NOT. PROBLEM IS WHEN I PUT MY VIN IN, NOTHING COMES UP FOR A RECALL. I DON'T WANT TO PUT MY KIDS BACK IN THIS CAR. I JUST DROPPED $24,000 5 DAYS AGO IN A CAR LOAN. PLEASE HELP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN AND DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LEHMAN HYUNDAI (LOCATED AT 21400 NW 2ND AVE, MIAMI, FL 33169, (866) 647-4751) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE PERFORMED AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

ONCE PER DAY, WHILE DRIVING ON FLAT GROUND, THE CAR DISPLAYS THE MESSAGE "STEEP GRADE! PRESS BRAKE PEDAL" (PAGE 5-20 IN THE OWNERS MANUAL). WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR COMPLETELY DIES AND CAN NOT ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD! THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, HOWEVER THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE IT. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS FOR ME ONCE PER DAY! I OPENED A CASE WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE BUT THE CASE IS OPEN AND UNRESOLVED BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND ONLY HAPPENS ONCE PER DAY. AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT CAUSES THE DRIVER TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE! IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD DIRECTLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE NHTSA NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF THIS AND HYUNDAI AND THEIR DEALERSHIPS NEED TO TAKE OWNERSHIP AND MAKE CORRECTIVE ACTIONS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THIS DEFECT. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE OCCURRING THAT I'M HAPPY TO SHARE AS WELL.

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.

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.

WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY (EXAMPLE: I COME TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT) THEN TRY TO MOVE AGAIN, THE CAR WON'T MOVE AND THERE IS A LULL WHEN I GIVE IT GAS. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE "REVS" BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE AFTER COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE HAD A FEW INSTANCES WHERE I BECOME STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR A MINUTE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. SUDDENLY, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A RAPID SPEED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FAULKNER HYUNDAI (2060 PAXTON ST, HARRISBURG, PA 17111, (717) 238-7324) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE UPDATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

Mileage: 34,000

THIS SUV IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. THE DCT(DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION) DOES NOT ENGAGE CORRECTLY AND WILL BUCK AND STALL WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW DOWN OR STOP.I HAVE HAD TO SLAM MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND IT WILL STILL NOT ENGAGE TIMELY OR SAFELY. IT WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A RECALL BUT THE ISSUE CONTINUES . THE DEALERSHIP STATES THERE IS NO OTHER FIX FOR THIS. I HAVE BEEN BEEPED AT BY OTHER DRIVERS THAT HAD TO SWERVE TO GET OUT OF MY WAY SO THEY DIDN'T HIT ME WHEN THE CAR DOES THIS.I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS, AND THEN THE CAR WILL JUST TAKE OFF. I BARELY DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE OF. THIS. I AM AFRAID FOR OUR LIVES. MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY REFUSE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS SO UNSAFE. I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI. WAITING ON RESOLUTION, BUT THESE CARS HAVE SO MANY COMPLAINTS THEY NEED TO REMOVE THE 2016 TUSCAN FROM THE ROAD. THIS IS SERIOUSLY DANGEROUS. THIS IS MY 6TH HYUNDAI AND I LOVE BUYING HYUNDAI BUT NEVER AGAIN IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER OF 2016.

Mileage: 100

WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP OR STATIONARY, THE CAR HESITATES, ALMOST SEEMS TO CHOKE, AND THEN LURCHES FORWARD WITH A BURST WHEN TRYING TO ENTER INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS HARD TO ANTICIPATE WHETHER IT WILL MOVE OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC FROM A STOP SIGN. ONCE MOVING THE CAR SEEMS TO OPERATE AND ACCELERATE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THIS ISSUE WAS NOTED IN AN EARLIER RECALL (AUGUST 2016). A SOFTWARE "FIX" WAS IMPLEMENTED. IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARD, I FELT THERE WAS SOME SMALL NOTICEABLE POSITIVE CHANGE. HOWEVER, ANY EARLY INDICATION OF IMPROVEMENT HAS NOW BEEN LOST. IT IS DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT THE CAR MAY CHOOSE TO GO OR NOT WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS EXTREMELY OFTEN - ALMOST DAILY. WHILE I SELECTED A DATE OF OCCURRENCE BELOW, IT WAS ONLY TO SATISFY THE FORM'S REQUIREMENTS.

Mileage: 30,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE LATER STARTED TO ACCELERATE INDEPENDENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO JENKINS HYUNDAI OF OCALA (1602 SW COLLEGE RD, OCALA, FL 34471), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH THE CONTACT AND EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000.

Mileage: 9,000

THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON AFTER THE TRANSMISSION RECALL, CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT NO ACCELERATION FROM A STOP / ROLLING STOP. RPMS WILL INCREASE BUT IT WILL BE 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WHEN THE ISSUE DOES OCCUR. THE CAR THEN JOLTS FORWARDS BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RPMS. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE NEAR MISSES DUE TO THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE LIFE THREATENING AND IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE.

Mileage: 17,000

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, WILL NOT ACCELERATE, PAUSES WHILE STOPPED, IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC, ON STREET CITY AND HIGHWAY. THERE IS NO REPAIR OTHER THAN AN UPDATE. HYUNDAI REFUSES, YES REFUSES, TO FIX MY CAR AND PROVIDE A REPAIR ORDER. TRIED TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ME WITH A REPAIR ORDER BECAUSE THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. SO WHEN I FILED WITH THE BBB AND WITH HYUNDAI, HYUNDAI REFUSED TO TAKE MY CAR BACK CLAIMING I DID NOT HAVE ANY REPAIR ORDERS. HYUNDAI LOCATIONS SUCH AS EDWARDS IN IOWA AND WOODHOUSE IN OMAHA HAVE NOT DOCUMENTED ALL OF MY CARS ISSUES NOR HAVE THEY ANY PROOF OF MY BEING THERE OTHER THAN TWO TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN NUMEROUS TIMES, WELL OVER 5 TIMES ANYWAY!! THE BBB REQUIRES DOCUMENTATION OF SERVICE, BUT I CAN'T GET AHOLD OF THE DOCUMENTATION BECAUSE HYUNDAI HAS NOT DONE THEIR JOB TO DOCUMENT MY CARS SERVICE. I'M GROWING EXTREMELY TIRED OF HYUNDAI AND WOULDN'T WISH THIS CAR ON ANYONE! I STILL CAN'T ACCELERATE, MY CAR BROKE DOWN THE OTHER DAY, AND NOTHING IS GETTING BETTER WITH BEING SERVICED. I'M A SINGLE PARENT WORKING PART TIME AND GOING TO SCHOOL, I AM TIRED OF HAVING TO TAKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE FOR THREE SECONDS. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RODEO HYUNDAI IN SURPRISE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO EARNHARDT HYUNDAI IN AVONDALE, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO LARRY H. MILLER HYUNDAI PEORIA IN PEORIA, AZ WHERE THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,822.

Mileage: 3,822

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.

TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WITHIN TWO YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS APPLIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOW TO GAIN SPEED. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL AND PROVIDED A SOFTWARE UPDATE. HOWEVER, MONTHS LATER, THE CONDITION CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY AND MORE FREQUENTLY. THE DEALER (COURTESY HYUNDAI, 939 NEWPORT AVE, PAWTUCKET, RI 02861 (401) 622-1295) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, AND INDICATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE DEALER HAD NOT YET DEVELOPED A SOLUTION. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES AS BEFORE. CAR WON'T ACCELERATE, IS JUMPY, REFUSES TO MOVE ANYMORE WHEN STOPPED OR ALREADY IN MOTION. HAD AN APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING WITH WOODHOUSE HYUNDAI AND THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME A CAR TO BORROW NOR DID THEY GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK - SO I HAD TO RESCHEDULE. THE MECHANICAL MANAGER SAID "CAN'T YOU WAIT 15 MINUTES?" I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS AN OPTION TO BE LATE FOR WORK. MAYBE IT'S JUST MECHANICS THAT ARE ALLOWED TO BE LATE, BUT I SURE AM NOT ALLOWED TO BE. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LACKING HERE AND SO IS THIS CAR. I'M DRAINED FROM ALL OF THE TIME I'VE PUT INTO THIS CAR TO BE REPAIRED AND NOTHING IS FIXED, BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX! THE SAME BATTLE OVER AND OVER AGAIN IS PHYSICALLY TAKING A TOLL ON ME AND I'M TIRED OF FIGHTING TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED. I TRY TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS AND CAN'T ALWAYS MEET THOSE APPOINTMENT TIMES BECAUSE I HAVE A JOB. I NEED MY JOB TO PAY THE LOAN. I NEED THE LOAN FOR THE CAR TO GET TO MY JOB. I NEED MY CAR TO BE RELIABLE. MY CAR IS NOT RELIABLE SO I CAN'T GET TO MY JOB AND PAY MY LOAN BECAUSE OF MY CAR. DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM HERE!?!?!?!! I'VE NEVER HATED A CAR AS MUCH AS I HATE THIS ONE. EDWARDS HYUNDAI SOLD ME A CAR THAT THEY PROMISED WAS RELIABLE AND SAFE - AND IT'S NOT. IT'S ABSOLUTELY THE OPPOSITE. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE A HYUNDAI AGAIN. I'D BE BETTER OFF WALKING AT THIS POINT OR TAKING THE BUS. TAKE THIS THING BACK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING OVER 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO GAIN CONTROL BEFORE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FAILURE COULD CAUSE A CRASH. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SOUTH CHARLOTTE HYUNDAI (8525 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273 (980) 224-5870) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 10451311. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HEAR FROM THEM WITHIN THREE TO FIVE DAYS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. UPDATED 09/06/17*LJ. *CN

Mileage: 7,000

THE CAR HAS HAD SEVERAL ISSUES SINCE I GOT IT BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT, HOWEVER THE BIGGEST ISSUES IS WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I CURRENTLY HAVE 35K MILES ON THE CAR AND THE ISSUES ARE COMING MORE FREQUENT. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE HESITATE AND LURCH PROBLEM. YOU CAN BE ON AN INCLINE OR JUST TRYING TO GO ACROSS AN INTERSECTION WHEN IT HAPPENS. YOU PRESS THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES AS THE GEARS CHANGE AND YOU SLOWLY ROLL OUT INTO THE STREET, THEN THE CAR LURCHES YOU FORWARD. I CAME WITHIN A FEW INCHES OF HITTING THE BUMBER OF ANOTHER CAR AFTER I WAS LURCHED FORWARD. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON OR PATTERN BEHIND THIS. IT JUST HAPPENS RANDOMLY. THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES AS THIS HAPPENS, SO BAD THAT EVEN PASSENGERS CAN FEEL IT.

Mileage: 35,000

I HAVE SUBMITTED COMPLAINTS AND CLAIMS ON THIS VEHICLE MORE THAN TWICE NOW AND HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST 10 TIMES! I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUES I'VE HAD BEFORE JUST A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THIS 2016 (BRAND NEW) CAR LAST YEAR! THE ACCELERATION STILL STAGGERS AND I CAN'T MOVE FROM A STOP, SLOW DOWN, OR WHEN I'M ALREADY IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, ON CITY STREETS, COUNTY ROADS, AND THE INTERSTATE - NOT MY IDEA OF A SAFE CAR WHEN THAT'S WHY I BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE! IT STALLS AND THE RPMS AND EVERYTHING ON THE ODOMETER DROPS TO ALMOST ZERO. TAKE BACK THIS AWFULLY MADE VEHICLE! IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND "UPDATES" AREN'T PERMANENTLY FIXING THE ISSUES. STOP GIVING IT A BAND-AID "FIX" AND JUST TAKE THIS CAR BACK. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. LEMON LAW. I DON'T WANT IT. WHEN THERE'S ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND I CAN'T MOVE, HOW AM I SUPPOSE TO STOP SOMEONE FROM HITTING ME WITH MY BABY IN THE BACKSEAT!?!?!? I CAN'T. BECAUSE I CAN'T MAKE THIS CAR MOVE.

Mileage: 100

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES REGARDING THE PAST TWO RECALLS. UPDATING THIS VEHICLE IS NOT WHAT IT NEEDS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED COMPLETELY. I CANNOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, WHEN I'M IN MOTION, OR FROM A SLOW SPEED ON ANY HIGHWAYS, INTERSTATES, CITY STREETS, ETC. THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE. ALSO, NOW GIVEN ALL OF THE ISSUES I'VE BEEN HAVING WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR, THE AIR CONDITIONING AND BRAKES ARE FADING IN AND OUT. SO ALL OF THE ISSUES I'VE HAD WITH THIS BRAND NEW CAR INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED: LACK OF ACCELERATION, STALLING, DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, AIR-CONDITIONING, BRAKING, AND RADIO/BLUETOOTH/CD PLAYER WILL NOT ALWAYS WORK. I SUBMITTED A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT THROUGH THE BBB AND SPOKE WITH HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS. THIS IS POSSIBLY MY THIRD OR FOURTH COMPLAINT ONLINE WITH THIS HEINOUS VEHICLE. IT'S UNSAFE FOR ANYONE LOOKING TO PURCHASE!!!! IT'S JERKY AND WILL LAUNCH YOU ONCE IT FINALLY DECIDES TO ACCELERATE AND THEN I'M AT A STANDSTILL ONCE MORE. THIS VEHICLE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT A DEALERSHIP WOULD SELL A DEFUNCT CAR TO SOMEONE. MAYBE UNKNOWINGLY, BUT NOW I HAVE TO JUMP THROUGH HOOPS AND FIND OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION JUST TO GET TO WORK AND BACK. UNRELIABLE, UNSAFE, UNREASONABLE FOR THE COST, AND I'M NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH THIS VEHICLE. HYUNDAI NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RECURRING AND SUBSTANTIAL ISSUE RIGHT WITH THIS UNHAPPY CUSTOMER. LET'S JUST HOPE THE REGIONAL OFFICE WILL FIND A SOLUTION AND PAY OFF THE REST OF THIS CAR. I SHOULDN'T BE TERRIFIED EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR TO DRIVE WITH MY BABY BECAUSE I KNOW ONE OF THESE TIMES, WE WILL GET HIT. PRETTY SAD TO BE SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND I CAN'T MOVE AND OTHER PEOPLE WON'T MOVE FOR YOU. THE LIKELIHOOD OF GETTING HIT... 99%. PLEASE MAKE THIS RIGHT.

OCCASIONALLY, ON A CITY STREET AT STOP SIGNAL OR STOP SIGN, VEHICLE FAILS TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP AS GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED. REVS TO HIGH RPM'S, AND AS TRANSMISSION CATCHES UP, THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD VIOLENTLY, NEARLY CAUSING REAR END COLLISION ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN AFTER TWO SEPARATE RECALL/DCT PROGRAM UPDATES WITH HYUNDAI DEALER.

Mileage: 6,000

10/12/16: BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL OF DCT AFTER CALLING TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE TO ADDRESS THE TRANSMISSION NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY AND HESITATING TO CHANGE GEARS. 12/29/16. RETURNED FOR SAME ISSUE WITH TRANSMISSION. SERVICE PERFORMED A 2ND RECALL ON AN UPGRADE TO TRANSMISSION FOR SAME ISSUE. 2/23/17 RETURNED AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUE. NO MAINTENANCE PERFORMED. STATED THAT ALL WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AND THAT IS HOW A DCT SHOULD RESPOND. 4/25/17. RETURNED AGAIN FOR SAME ISSUE. STATED NO PROBLEMS EXISTS. ENGINEER WAS GOING TO BE CONTACTED TO PERFORM TEST DRIVE AND FURTHER INVESTIGATE ISSUES. ENGINEER CONTACTED AND REFUSED TO COME AND PERFORM TEST DRIVE. 4/26/17: CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS (COMPLAIN #10185159). CASE MANAGER ASSIGNED. STATED I WOULD HEAR WITHIN 3-5 DAYS. NEVER HEARD. 4/28/17: AFTER SPEAKING WITH AN ATTORNEY, SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO HYUNDAI 112 RE: VEHICLE AND WANTING TO TERMINATE LEASE B/C THEY CAN'T FULFILL SAFETY AND REPAIRS. (HEARD BACK FROM FRAN IN SERVICE...NO RECOURSE OFFERED) 5/4/17: CONTACTED CONSUMER AFFAIRS FOR A 2ND TIME. NO RESULTS. LEFT MESSAGE FOR CASE MANAGER AND HER MANAGER. 5/4/17: SPOKE TO FRAN (112 HYUNDAI) WAITING TO HEAR OF APPOINTMENT WITH ENGINEER. 5/10/17: CONTACTED BY CLAIMS TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT ON 5/18 WITH ENGINEER AND REGIONAL MANAGER. 5/18/17: PRIOR TO TEST DRIVE, ENGINEER CLAIMED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED TO PERFORM AS IT WAS. COMPLETED TEST DRIVE WITH ENGINEER WHILE HE PROVIDED TIPS OF HOW TO PROPERLY DRIVE WITH A DCT AND HOW THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED WITH THE HESITATION KNOWN. 5/27/17: CONTACTED A PRIVATE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST REGARDING HESITATION/JERKING OF TRANSMISSION. PROVIDED A TEST DRIVE AND IT WAS AGREED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS HESITATING AND JERKING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHICH IS NOT NORMAL.

DANGEROUS TRANSMISSION. WHILIE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION GOING DOWN AN ON-RAMP TO GET ONTO THE INTERSTATE I PROCEEDED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I DID NOT HAVE ANY POWER. THE CAR WAS STILL ON BUT THERE WAS NOT ANY ACCELERATION, I KEPT PRESSING AND PRESSING AND NOTHING. SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD SO A SEMI WOULDN'T RUN OVER ME. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN WAITED ABOUT A MINUTE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR MOVING A LITTLE BIT AT A TIME. ONCE I REACHED 70MPH IT WAS LIKE IT WOULDN'T SHIFT GEARS. SO I DECIDED TO DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT I PROCEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION ONLY TO HAVE IT NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE ANYMORE SO I WAS BLOCKING TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND DID A DIAGNOSTIC ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE WERE NO ISSUES. CLEARLY THIS FUNCTION DOES NOT DO IT'S JOB IN REPORTING THE PROBLEM. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ME AN APPOINTMENT UNTIL 5 DAYS LATER TO LOOK AT IT. ONLY TO FIND OUT THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS IN MY HEAD BECAUSE THIS STARTED WHEN I ONLY HAD THE CAR A MONTH. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. ALSO, THE CAR WILL LUNGE AT LOW SPEEDS AND SORT OF BUCK.

Mileage: 3,739

DANGEROUS VEHICLE - SAME THING AS PREVIOUS COMPLAINT. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE ACCELERATION AND ARE FEARFUL OF GOING INTO TRAFFIC. ALSO ON A HOT DAY THE AIR CONDITION WOULD NOT WORK AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE.

Mileage: 9,644

SAME COMPLAINT AS BEFORE THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE AT DEALERSHIP. THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS VIN NUMBER EVEN THOUGH IT WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE DATES OF THE RECALL I FOUND OUT. I AM SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT HIRING A LAWYER BECAUSE I DO NOT WANT A CAR THAT IS NOT SAFE FOR MY GRANDCHILDREN. THIS TIME AGAIN WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN GOING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS VERY TERRIFYING.

Mileage: 27,879

THERE ARE SEVERAL PROBLEMS. THE DUAL CLUTCH AN AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION ON MY 1.6-LITER TURBO VERSION HESITATES UP TO SEVERAL SECONDS WHEN ACCELERATING, THIS CAN OCCUR WHEN TURNING, ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP, MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED 1-5MPH. THE TACHOMETER REVS UP BUT THE CAR STAYS STATIONARY. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK. THE SCARIEST TIME WAS WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AND CARS HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME.. ADDITIONALLY IF YOU ARE IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC INCHING ALONG, IT HESITATES TO ACCELERATE AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES, YOU'RE AFRAID YOU WILL HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF YOU. I HAVE FOUND WHEN INCHING ALONG 1-5 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THAT I MUST LEAVE 1-2 CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THE LURCHING AND HESITATION. SUPPOSEDLY THE RECALL IN SEPTEMBER 2016 FIXED THIS ISSUE BUT IT DID NOT. WHEN I CONTACTED HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY HEADQUARTERS, THEY TOLD ME THE CAR IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. SO THEY DESIGNED IT TO LURCH AND NOT ACCELERATE? DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT TO ME. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION OF MY CONTACTS WITH THE LOCAL DEALER AND CORPORATE, BUT NOT WITH ME TODAY.

DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL: I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY TUCSON A WEEK AFTER PURCHASE (JULY 2016). IT'S A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING, ACCELERATING, AND HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN TO BE LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES. THE HYUNDAI DEALER IN IOWA SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ISSUES I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE BUT NO FIX. IT'S THE DCT (DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION) RECALL; I RECEIVED THIS IN THE MAIL A MONTH OR TWO AFTER PURCHASING MY VEHICLE. THE ONLY SOLUTION THERE IS TO "FIX" THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE PROBLEM IS AN UPDATE! HYUNDAI SAID THAT I WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE TO BRING IT IN AS LONG AS I'M HAVING THESE ISSUES TO UPDATE. THIS IS A BAND-AID. THERE IS NO PERMANENT FIX AND I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, I CAN'T ACCELERATE AND HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MANY ACCIDENTS DUE TO LACK OF POWER AND ACCELERATION FROM THE DCT. THIS HAPPENS NOT ONLY WHEN MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE, BUT ALSO IN RURAL AREAS LIKE THE HIGHWAY, MAIN CITY STREETS, AND NEIGHBORHOODS. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY FROM A STOP OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE A FAMILY, AND THE WHOLE REASON FOR THIS PURCHASE WAS BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES; THERE IS NOTHING SAFE ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. I WAS SOLD A DEFUNCT CAR AND AM EXTREMELY UPSET THAT HYUNDAI SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE MAKING. *TR

THIS HAPPENED FOR MONTHS, I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY BRUSHED OFF. TWO WEEKS AGO WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON THE HIGHWAY, I PRESSED THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE ONLY REVVED THEN OUT OF NOWHERE IT LAUNCHED AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR. THEN TODAY, IT LITERALLY WENT DEAD?DEAD! WHILE DRIVING AT 25 MPH ON FORDHAM RD (A BUSY STREET THE BRONX) THE CAR SLOWLY LOST POWER AND STOPPED FOR 2-3 SECONDS. THEN START UP AGAIN. THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP!!! SOME ONE COULD HAVE RUN IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY CLAIMED TO FIX THE DCT BUT THAT'S CRAP. HYUNDAI WHO HAS DONE NOTHING AND THEY KNOW THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE. I CANT EVEN DRIVE MY 2 YR GODDAUGHTER IN THIS THING. I THINK HYUNDAI IS WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. THEY NEED TO STOP SELLING THIS CAR IMMEDIATELY AND REFUND EVERYONE'S MONEY. *TR

I SAW AN UPCOMING RECALL WHICH HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE ANY FIX FOR YET, BUT IT APPEARS TO ONLY BE ON SPECIFIC ONES WITH DUAL CLUTCH. I DON'T THINK MINE HAS THAT, BUT IT DEFINITELY HAS SAFETY ISSUES AND HYUNDAI WILL NOT ASSIST ME WITH IT.

I TOOK MY 2016 TUCSON INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/23/2016 TO ADDRESS THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION RECALL. PRIOR TO THAT, MY TUCSON WOULD RANDOMLY JERK, NOT ACCELERATE WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, AND THE RPMS WOULD GO HAYWIRE. NOW, 10/12/2016, AFTER I TOOK IT IN FOR A RECALL, I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. IT'S HAPPENED ONCE IN SLOW TRAFFIC, AND JUST THIS MORNING ON THE HIGHWAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. THIS TIME HOWEVER, THE TUCSON'S RPMS WENT FROM THE 2X AREA TO THE 4X AREA WITHOUT PROVOCATION, CAUSING THE TUCSON TO DRASTICALLY ACCELERATE, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO REAR END SOMEONE. THIS WAS WITHOUT ME MANUALLY ACCELERATING. AT THIS POINT, I FEEL LIKE I'M DRIVING A DEATHTRAP AND AM UTTERLY DISAPPOINTED THAT HYUNDAI HAS DONE NOTHING TO TRULY CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

MULTIPLE ISSUES. MAIN ISSUE FOR NOW- PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN. MAJOR HESITATION. HESITATES FROM A STOP AND WHEN ALREADY DRIVING. TODAY IT SHOOK AND FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE FOR THE 2ND TIME SINCE I'VE HAD IT. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR MULTIPLE ISSUES AND HAS ALREADY HAD THE THROTTLE BODY AND REAR SUSPENSION REPLACED.

THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE WITH THE VEHICLE CONCERNED THE COMPUTERIZED FUNCTIONS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I COULD NOT SYNC MY PHONE TO THE CAR AND OTHER ISSUES . THE SECOND SIGN OF TROUBLE WAS WHEN I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK ONE RAINY MORNING. I EXITED THE EXPRESSWAY AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN - THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I SAT THERE FOR A FEW LIGHTS ATTEMPTING TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE. IT FINALLY JERKED AND ACCELERATED VERY QUICKLY AND I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BECAUSE THEY ROAD TESTED THE CAR AND DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I KEPT HAVING ALL SORTS OF PROBLEMS AFTER THIS, SUCH AS JERKING, LURCHING, LIGHTS FLICKERING IN AND OUT, TO NAME A FEW. THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE CONFUSED AND I CONSIDER THIS CAR TO BE QUITE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EVENTUALLY I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A HOOD LATCH - SOMETHING I DID NOT EVEN KNOW I NEEDED AND PERFORMED A SOFTWARE CLUSTER THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THEY KEPT THE CAR FOR A FULL WEEK. I GOT THE CAR BACK AND DID NOT HAVE IT 24 HOURS BEFORE IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN, BUT EVEN WORSE THAN BEFORE. IT STILL SHOOTS OUT AFTER THE ACCELERATOR HAS BEEN TAPPED GENTLY, LURCHES AND JERKS FORWARD, STALLS AND STOPS, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RAINING. I DON'T EVEN WANT TO THINK ABOUT TRYING TO DRIVE THIS CAR ONCE THE WINTER HAS SET IN. I AM ALREADY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE DEALER (WORLD HYUNDAI OF MATTESON, IL ) AND HYUNDAI MOTORS TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TO PAY FOR A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 1.6L TURBO DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. ON THREE OR MORE OCCATIONS, PRESSING THE ACCELLERATOR AFTER BEING AT A COUPLE STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT RESULTED IN THE VEHICLE REVVING TO THE REDLINE AND THE CAR NOT MOVING. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED (JUNE 18TH 2016 ~2PM), THE CAR BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARDS BECAUSE I WAS ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME. I TRIED TRIED PUTTING IT IN PARK. I TRIED SWITCHING TO MANUAL MODE. I TRIED TURNING THE CAR OFF AND ON. NOTHING WORKED. IT WOULD NOT MOVE. IT WAS AS THOUGH IT WAS STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THEN WITHOUT REASON, IT BEGAN TO MOVE AGAIN. WHEN IT DID MOVE, IT WAS EXTREMELY JERKY AND LURCHED FORWARD A COUPLE OF TIMES. THAT WAS THE WORST AND MOST FRIGHTENING. LATELY ALL IT HAS BEEN DOING IS ONCE OR TWICE A DAY ON AVERAGE IT DOES THE SLOW ACCELERATION AND LURCH. THIS HAPPENS DURING MY MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTE. ONCE IT HAS HAPPENED, IT DOES NOT HAPPEN UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. I HAVE BEEN LUCKY THAT IT HAS NOT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING INTO TRAFFIC. BUT IT IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Mileage: 13,845

I HAVE A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED WHICH HAS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE LACK OF ACCELERATION FROM STOP. WHEN TRYING TO MOVE ONTO A HIGHWAY/ROAD FROM A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS NOTHING HAPPENS THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT LURCHES AHEAD. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND AND IT DOES NOT. ALSO GOING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND NOT REALLY ACCELERATING AT ALL IT LURCHES AND BACKS OFF AND LURCHES AND BACKS OFF. THEN WHEN YOU DO STEP ON THE GAS IT ALMOST QUITS THEN LURCHES. I'M TOLD ITS CAUSED BY THE MANUAL CELINOID WHICH CAUSES THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE. AT THE PRESENT TIME I'M NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND HAVE A LOANER. HYUNDAI HAS SENT ME PAPERWORK TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE BUT THEN I HAVE NOTHING WITH WHICH TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN JAN 2016 AND HAVE LESS THAN 2000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM HAVING DCT TRANSMISSION ISSUES. HAD NOTICED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE IS VERY SLUGGISH AND HAS SOME DIFFICULTY ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP AND AT TIMES IT LURCHES FORWARD. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT AND ONGOING ISSUE, BUT VERY TROUBLESOME, NONE THE LESS. THIS OCCURS DURING NORMAL IN TOWN TRAFFIC AND ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILLS FROM A COMPLETE STOP. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN ISSUES IN TRAFFIC WHERE IT ACCELERATES UNEXPECTEDLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER ON TWO OCCASIONS IN A SEVEN DAY PERIOD, AFTER DECIDING THAT THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT TIMES. WHEN I MADE THE INITIAL APPT THE RECEPTIONISTS STATED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FOR THIS ISSUE. THE INITIAL TIME AT THE DEALER, THEY COMPLETED THE LATCH RECALL AND RESET THE COMPUTER TO RELEARN THE SYSTEM, HOPING THAT WOULD BE THE SAVING GRACE. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER AND THE SOUND WAS SO LOUD WHILE DRIVING, THAT I PULLED OVER AND THE SOUND DIED DOWN AT BIT. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO TAKE IN THE VEHICLE THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS NOT SURE WHAT WAS GOING ON. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING, BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO TAKE TIME OFF WORK TO GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER TO HEAR THAT NOTHING IS WRONG. THE DEALER ACTS LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THE CONCERN. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT IT'S THE DESIGN OF THE CLUTCH THAT GIVES DRIVERS THE SLUGGISH FEEL. I DECIDED TO COME BACK TO HYUNDAI TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE AND I DEEPLY REGRET THAT DECISION.

I PURCHASED MY 2016 HYJNDAI TUCSON NEW AND IN LESS THAN A YEAR IT HAS BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP VIA TOW TRUCK. EACH TIME IS THE SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE WHILE IN DRIVE WILL NOT MOVE FORWARD WHILE THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. THE RPMS WILL REACT TO THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. FIRST, HYUNDAI DEAL SAID IT WAS THE DCT NEEDING UPDATE. SECOND, THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE ONCE IT ARRIVED AT DEALER, BUT I CONTEACT HYUNDAI CORPORATE TO HAVE A MONITORING DEVICE INSTALLED. THEY LEFT IT IN FOR LESS THEN A MONTH. THIRD, JUST OCCURED AND HYUNDAI HAS A NEW CASE ON THE VEHICLE. I INFORMED THEM VIA THE PHONE AND WILL SEND A CERTIFIED LETTER STATING THIS IS THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME, AND I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THE HAZARDS IT CAN CAUSE ON THE ROAD INCLUDING COLLISION, BODILY HARD, AND EVEN DEATH.

WENT TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TO BUY THE HYUNDAI SANTA FE MODEL. THEY DIDN'T HAVE ONE IN STOCK BUT TOLD ME THAT THE HYUNDAI TUCSON MODEL WAS JUST LIKE THE SANTA FE BUT A SMALLER VERSION. I GOT THE TUCSON VEHICLE AND IN 2 DAYS THE AIR CONDITIONER ONLY BLEW HOT AIR WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I CALLED THE HYUNDAI SERVICE AGENT I WAS TOLD TO ONLY USE THE AIR CONDITIONER ON THE LOWEST FAN. IF I PUT IT ON A HIGHER SETTING IT WILL FREEZE UP AND BLOW ONLY HOT AIR. IT WAS 95 OUT SIDE. LATER I CAME TO A STOP AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT GO FORWARD. I LET OFF ON THE GAS AND TRIED AGAIN. THE ENGINE AGAIN REVVED UP FOR ABOUT 6 SECONDS THEN THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD. THE NEXT DAY I HAD PARKED ON A SMALL INCLINE. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE I: PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE - RELEASED THE PARKING BRAKE - PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVVED UP BUT DID NOT GO FORWARD, INSTEAD IT ROLLED BACKWARDS ABOUT 6 TO 12 INCHES THEN IT POPPED INTO GEAR AND LURCHED FORWARD. EVERY TIME I DROVE THE CAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THAT HYUNDAI TUCSON. I FELT UNSAFE AND WAS WORRIED THAT THERE WOULD BE AN ACCIDENT WITH THE CAR ACTING LIKE IT DID. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS OF THIS VEHICLE ALL STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS I WAS HAVING. SO, I TRADED IN MY 6 DAY OLD TUCSON FOR A SANTA FE - AND I AM VERY HAPPY NOW. THE TUCSON I FELT WAS THE MOST UNSAFE AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED OR DRIVEN. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME ABOUT THESE KNOWN PROBLEMS AND/OR ISSUES WITH THE DUEL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. ALL I CAN SAY IS THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE AND IF HYUNDAI DOES NOT TAKE CARE OF THESE ISSUES THEN THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FATALITIES OCCURRING.

VEHICLE FAILS TO MOVE AND/OR ACCELERATE WHEN PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL OR IT MOVES IN A VERY "JERKY" MANNER. I DO MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY AND AFTER I HAVE COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. HAPPENED ONCE AFTER I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GAS. AT THAT TIME THE ENGINE HAD BEEN OFF. SO AFTER I AM STOPPED, AND THE LIGHT TURNS GREEN, I HIT THE GAS. THE ENGINE REVS AND THE TACH CAN HIT 4000RPMS BUT I EITHER DON'T MOVE OR MOVE A MATTER OF INCHES. USUALLY LASTS 20 - 30 SECONDS. LAST WEEKEND IT WAS 45 SECONDS. (IT IS AS IF THE CAR IS IN PARK, WHICH IT IS NOT). EVENTUALLY THE CAR MOVES. FIRST STARTED AT ABOUT 6400 MILES; I NOW HAVE 7500 ON IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE BACKING UP AS WELL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE. THEY SAID IT IS JUST THE WAY THIS CAR RUNS. (THEY ALSO MENTIONED THEY HAVE STARTED GETTING COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE WITH THIS MODEL CAR.) THE UPDATE DID NOTHING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION. I AM AFRAID OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *BF

AFTER COMING TO FULL STOP AND SUBSEQUENTLY TRYING TO PROCEED THE DUAL CLUTCH DOES NOT ENGAGE.THIS CAN RESULT IN POSSIBLE ACCIDENTS INCLUDING CAUGHT IN INTERSECTION TURNING LEFT OR BEING REAR-ENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE AT A STOP, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH LACK OF ACCELERATION IN THIS VEHICLE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STANDSTILL. FOR EXAMPLE, FROM A STOP SIGN OR TRAFFIC LIGHT. MOST TIMES, WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS WHEN I AM AT A STOP, THIS CAR HESITATES FOR A MOMENT BEFORE IT FINALLY LURCHES FORWARD. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WHEN I AM PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THINK I HAVE ALLOWED MYSELF AMPLE TIME, THIS CAR HESITATES FOR SUCH A LONG TIME BEFORE FINALLY MOVING FORWARD IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT.

STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GET GAS, TURNED THE VEHICLE IGNITION OFF, PUMPED GAS, GOT BACK IN & STARTED THE VEHICLE, SAT THERE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK & PRESSED THE GAS, RPM'S REVVED WAY UP BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD. CHECKED EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE I WASN'T OVERLOOKING ANYTHING; NO 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT CAME ON OR ANY OTHER DASHLIGHTS, EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ENGAGED. TURNED THE SWITCH OFF & ON SEVERAL TIMES, WAITING A FEW MINUTES EACH TIME, THEN WOULD START AND SHIFT INTO REVERSE (IT WOULD BACK UP), NEUTRAL, & FINALLY DRIVE & STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. FINALLY GAVE UP, PUT IT IN REVERSE & BACKED AWAY FROM THE PUMPS TO A SAFE PLACE. CALLED HYUNDAI BLUE LINK BUT THEY WERE NO HELP AS THE VEHICLE WASN'T SENDING ANY CODES. I TRIED A COUPLE MORE TIMES THEN GAVE UP & HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE SALESMAN). ONCE IT WAS OFF THE TRUCK, THE SALESMAN TRIED IT SEVERAL TIMES & GOT THE SAME RESULT. HE WAS JUST AS STUNNED AS I WAS. ON MON I CALLED HYUNDAI AMERICA & OPENED A CASE SO THERE WOULD BE DOCUMENTATION. I HAD DONE SOME RESEARCH ONLINE OVER THE WEEKEND & FOUND A HYUNDAI FORUM WHERE PEOPLE WERE DISCUSSING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I WAS HAD. I THEN WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP & MET WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR & THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. OF COURSE, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO EVEN THOUGH IT HAD DONE THE SAME THING WITH THE SERVICE DIRECTOR THAT MORNING BUT HE FINALLY GOT IT TO MOVE. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED HYUNDAI TECH SERVICES & THEY MADE AN UPDATE/ADJUSTMENT. FOR NOW IT SEEMS TO BE FINE, BUT I AM TOTALLY PARANOID ABOUT DRIVING IT NOW! I THINK IT'S VERY IMPORTANT THAT THE NHTSA GET INVOLVED & GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

WAS JERKY WHEN GETTING THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE NORMAL FOR A 4 CYLINDER, SINCE I'D BEEN DRIVING A 6 CYLINDER FOR 20 YEARS. THOUGHT I JUST HAD TO GET USED TO IT. 10 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 300 MILES, JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL AND WAS ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE THE GAS STATION... PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR AND NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... NOTHING HAPPENED... LET UP AND PRESSED AGAIN... IT STARTED SLOWLY JERKING FORWARD, INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT KEPT JERKING AND SLOWLY ACCELERATED UNTIL I HIT ABOUT 5 GEAR, THEN IT SMOOTHED OUT. FRIGHTENING! 26 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, AT ~ 700 MILES, FROM A COLD START, BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE... REVVED THROUGH 1ST AND 2ND GEAR AND HADN'T MOVED YET... HIT 3RD GEAR AND IT JERKED FORWARD AND STARTED SLOWLY MOVING. 30 DAYS FROM PURCHASE, @ ~ 816 MILES, STOPPED FOR A RED LIGHT... LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE... SHIFTED THROUGH ALL OF THE GEARS (PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE) SEVERAL TIMES... IN DRIVE FOR ABOUT THE 4TH TIME AND STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR... IT PEALED OUT... DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP... JERKILY PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT. JUST OVER 3 HOURS LATER, WAS TOLD THEY DISCHARGED THE CAPACITOR COMPLETELY AND "RE-TAUGHT IT" THE SYSTEM. THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FIXED, BUT, I'M AT DAY 37 AND CAN SWEAR THAT IT HESITATED YESTERDAY AND THIS MORNING. WILL KEEP YOU ABREAST. THIS IS A POTENTIALLY DEADLY MALFUNCTION!

I HAD TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY AND REAR SHOCK AT APPROXIMATELY UNDER 2000 MILES. IT HESITATES BADLY. IT DECELERATES AS I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT HAD LOW COOLANT BEFORE A LONG TRIP SO I FILLED IT UP AS IT ADVISED. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS HOT THE COOLANT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1/2 INCH TO 1 INCH BELOW THE MINIMUM FILL LINE. AFTER MY TRIP I TOOK IT TO THE CERTIFIED HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE CENTER FOR TIRE ROTATION AND OIL CHANGE AND THEY ADVISED THE COOLANT WAS LOW AGAIN, BUT THAT THERE ARE NO LEAKS. I TOLD THEM I JUST FILLED IT UP AND SO THEY ARE CHECKING AGAIN FOR LEAKS. IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR AS I WAS GOING ON AN OFF RAMP FROM AN INTERSTATE. IT JERKED AND SHIMMIED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE WHEN I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT. IT IS BRAND NEW. IT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES AND NO ONE WILL HELP ME WITH IT I JUST KEEP HEARING "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, IT IS JUST THE WAY HYUNDAI DESIGNED THE VEHICLE." HYUNDAI NEEDS TO WORK ON THIS. THERE SHOULD BE MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS A POPPING SOUND EVERY TIME I REACH 20 MPH AFTER TAKING IT OUT OF PARK. IT HAS A RATTLE IN THE FRAME/REAR PASSENGER DOOR AREA. NO PLACE CAN FIX THESE SOUNDS. I JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT ALL. IT HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT A NIGHTMARE SINCE PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2015. THIS REALLY NEEDS MULTIPLE RECALLS ON IT. I JUST GOT AN EMAIL ABOUT A HOOD LATCH RECALL TOO. NOT EVEN FROM HYUNDAI... FROM CAR FAX. HYUNDAI DID NOT CONTACT CONSUMERS REGARDING THE HOOD LATCH RECALL. THEY SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO. THE DEALER DID NOT CONTACT ME ABOUT IT EITHER. THE DEALER, BOB POYNTER COLUMBUS, IN REFUSES TO SERVICE MY BRAND NEW VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT SPEAK WITH ME AT ALL. THEY WILL NOT TELL ME WHERE THEY OBTAINED MY VEHICLE FROM AS A DEALER TRADE EITHER.

05/06/2016 @ 1600 COND-RAINY. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE SUV DID NOT MOVE. THE ENGINE REVVED BUT THE SUV DID NOT GO FORWARD. IT SLOWLY ENGAGED AND LURCHED FORWARD AFTER APPROX 3-5 SECONDS. 5/19/2016 @ 1800 COND-RAIN /NOT DRIVEN IN APPROX 4 DAYS. LESS THAN A MILE FROM START AND HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR APPROX 3-5 MINS-WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THE VEH DID NOT MOVE. I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE ENGINE REVVED FOR APPROXIMATELY 5-7 SECONDS BEFORE THE VEH LURCHED/JUMPED FORWARD AND SLOWLY MOVED. I AGAIN IMMEDIATELY WENT TO HYUNDAI. I WAS GIVEN A LOANER VEHICLE - 2016 TUCSON. 5/21/2016 @ 1350 SAME NON-MOVEMENT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OCCURRED W/THE LOANER VEHICLE. IT HAD NOT BEEN DRIVEN IN 2 DAYS COND-RAINY. THIS OCCURRED APPROX 3 MINS AFTER START AND W/IN A MILE. HYUNDAI CORP ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ISSUES WITH THIS VEH. 3 SIMILAR ISSUES FROM CUSTOMERS WERE REPORTED TO THIS DEALERSHIP. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEH OR ALLOWING ANY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY TO DRIVE THIS VEH. IT IS AN ACCIDENT IN WAITING EITHER FROM BEING HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEH OR FROM STRIKING ANOTHER B/C OF THE LURCHING. I HAD TO PUT MY HAZARDS ON AND HOPE THAT I DID NOT GET HIT FROM BEHIND. I AM NOT SATISFIED AND WANT A REFUND FOR BOTH OF THE VEH'S I PURCHASED DUE TO THIS HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. AT RANDOM TIMES, USUALLY FROM A STOP, BUT SOMETIMES WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, THE VEH DOES NOT MOVE. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A VERY HAZARDOUS DEFECT. HYUNDAI IS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ERROR, SO ENG. ADVISES TO RELEASE THE VEH BACK TO ME, THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER HYUNDAI VEH AGAIN B/C IT IS UNSAFE AND THE LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO RECTIFY THEIR MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. IT IS NOT A DRIVER'S OPERATIONAL ERROR.

REPORTED HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, IN TRAFFIC, OR WHEN EXITING A TURN. SERVICE TECH ACKNOWLEDGED AS DID THE SALES TEAM THAT THEY EXPERIENCED THE ISSUE IN THE VEHICLE BUT SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS THAT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL CORPORATE DECIDES TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. HAVE HAD SEVERAL TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN TRYING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND HESITATES OR LUNGES WHEN COMING TO A STOP SOME TIMES. CONTINUES TO HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING SINCE FIRST PURCHASED ON 5/21/2016.

Mileage: 25

THE CAR OCCASIONALLY EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOR: 1.UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN A GEAR HIGHER THAN FIRST, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE MOTOR TO STALL AND LOSE POWER FOR ONE TO THREE SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING ACCELERATION. THE LOSS OF POWER PUTS THE CAR IN PERIL OF BEING REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND. 2.WHEN IN THIS STATE, MOVING THE GEARSHIFT LEVER LEFT TO ENTER MANUAL MODE FAILS ' THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN DRIVE DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE MANUAL MODE. 3.BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION NEVER DOWNSHIFTS TO LOWER GEARS, THE CAR RUNS ROUGH AT SLOWER SPEEDS. 4.TURNING THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AGAIN RESTORES IT TO NORMAL OPERATION UNTIL THE ERRANT BEHAVIOR HAPPENS AGAIN ON RANDOM, UNPREDICTABLE OCCASIONS. THIS CAR IS EQUIPPED WITH A TURBO-CHARGER. A FACTORY RECALL TO FIX AN ACCELERATOR HESITATION IMPROVED, BUT DID NOT ELIMINATE, SAID HESITATION.
