Potential Consequences:
I PULLED INTO THE DRIVE THRU LINE AT BANK BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TUCSON INTO PARK, BUT LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME PROCESSED THEIR TRANSACTION. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. THE RPMS MOVED INTO THE 3000 AND 4000 RANGE BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON. VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO AND OUT OF PARK AND NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGED AND ALLOWED ME TO EASE FORWARD. I PLACED THE CAR BACK INTO PARK WHILE MY TRANSACTION WAS PROCESSED. AFTER MY TRANSACTION WAS COMPLETE I PLACED THE VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVE AND ATTEMPTED TO PULL FORWARD. ONCE AGAIN HIGH RPMS AND ENGINE REVVING VERY LOUDLY BUT NOT MOVING ANYWHERE. I TRIED THE SHIFTING GEARS TRICK SEVERAL TIMES AND IT STILL DID NOT WORK. THE DRIVE THRU LANE HAD TO BE SHUT DOWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY VEHICLE TO MOVE. AFTER TURNING IT OFF AND BACK ON A FEW TIMES IT FINALLY WORKED AND I WAS ABLE TO GET INTO A PARKING SPOT. I CALLED MY HUSBAND. HE ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES LATER. HE STARTED THE VEHICLE AND DROVE AROUND THE PARKING LOT. HE REPORTED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP (THOUGH STILL IN DRIVE) HE WOULD THEN ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV TO HIGH RPMS FOR 3-10 SECONDS BEFORE FINALLY ENGAGING AND CAUSING A QUICK JERKY JACK RABBIT START. EVEN WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, THE PREVIOUS 7,400 MILES DRIVEN IT WOULD ONLY REV TO APPROX 1200 RPMS PRIOR TO ACCELERATING. DECIDED TO TAKE TO DEALERSHIP. CAR TURNED OFF WHILE REMOVING ITEMS. WHEN TURNED BACK ON AND DRIVING TO DEALERSHIP PROBLEM DID NOT OCCUR. DEALERSHIP KEPT VEHICLE FROM FRIDAY AFTERNOON TO MONDAY. THEY STATED THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE AND THAT THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES IN THE COMPUTER.

THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A RED LIGHT, WHEN IT TURNED GREEN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR THE CAR WOULD REV BUT NOT MOVE. TRIED A FEW TIME THEN HAD TO GO INTO PARK AND DRIVE AGAIN AND THEN IT WORKED. THE SECOND TIME I WAS BACKING UP FROM A PARKING SPACE AND REVVED THE MOTOR 6 TIMES AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HAD TO PUT IN PARK AND THEN IN REVERSE. IT MOVED VERY SLOWLY AND WAS REVVING BECAUSE I HAD TO PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR MORE THAN I WANTED . I WAS AFRAID BOTH TIMES THE CAR WOULD SHOOT FORWARD (OR BACKWARD THE SECOND TIME). THE SHIFTING IS ALSO STRANGE IN THE CAR, IT JERKS FORWARD WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR BECAUSE IT STARTS SO SLOWLY AND THEN SEEMS TO JUMP INTO GEAR.

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.

THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND THE TRANSMITTING REPLACED. IT IS DANGEROUS. FIRST IT WAS THE SHUDDER AND ERRATIC HESITATION STARTING OUT IN 1ST GEAR. LIKE YOU HAVE A CHOICE WHAT GEAR YOU START IN. SO IT'S CRAZY FRUSTRATING. NOW IT HAS ADVANCED TO NOT ENGAGING 1ST GEAR FROM TIME TO TIME. TWICE WHILE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THEN ONCE ENGAGED, THE CAR BURNED RUBBER THROUGH A LEFT TURN TO EXIT THE INTERSECTION. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT OR RAN ANYONE OVER INT HE PROCESS. EVERY TIME I BRING IT TO THE DEALER, THEY TALK TO ME LIKE IT IS THE DESIGN OF THE DUEL CLUTCH AND NOTHING I CAN DO SINCE IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY... WHAT?!! I'M TAKING A MORE ACTIVE APPROACH NOW TO KEEP MYSELF OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY FROM DYING AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM THAT HYUNDAI IS CLEARLY REFUSING TO ADMIT TO. THERE IS MANY ACCOUNTS POSTED ON THE INTERNET EXACTLY THE SAME AS MINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DON'T READ INTERNET PROPAGANDA.. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THIS COMPANY EXISTS IN AMERICA. AND FYI - THE CAR I HAD 10 YEARS PRIOR WAS THE 2006 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THEY REBUILD THE 2016 AND THIS IS WHAT I GET FOR MY LOYALTY.

I HAVE 4000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND ALREADY HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES! TRANSMISSION- IS VERY JERKY, DOESN'T HAVE PICK UP MOST THE TIME, DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT AWAY IT TAKES A MOMENT TO KICK IN WHILE RPM'S ARE JUMPING. HESITATION FROM A DEAD STOP, ONCE AT A DEAD STOP AND YOU SLOWLY TAKE FOOT OFF BREAK THE RPM'S DROP AND THE CAR SHUTTERS AND FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE! DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL FOR A DUAL CLUTCH BECAUSE ITS LIKE A MANUAL AND THAT I NEED TO DRIVE 2 FOOTED OR DEAL WITH IT. I ALSO HAD IT TO DEALER SAY PRIOR TO THIS TIME, IT'S BECAUSE THE DUAL TRANSMISSION IS STAYING IN SECOND GEAR AND THAT'S NORMAL AND THAT'S WHY IT FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO DIE. TRANSMISSION NEVER SHIFTS THE SAME.. WHEN IN ECO IT WORSE AND WHEN IN SPORT MODE IT VERY JERKY AND THE SHIFTING IS AWFUL AND NEVER SMOOTH. BOTTOM LINE IS THIS.. FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION HAS NO IDEA WHEN TO SHIFT AND OR HOW TO SHIFT. THE RPM'S GO UP BUT THE CAR DOESN'T SEEM TO PICK UP SPEED LIKE IT SHOULD AS FAR WHERE THE RPM'S ARE AT, ALWAYS REVS UP BEFORE IT WILL EVEN MORE. ALSO WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT TAKES A LOT TO KICK IT DOWN TO PICK UP SPEED WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE VIBRATION AT HIGHER SPEEDS IS HORRIBLE . HAD TIRES ROTATED AND BALANCED 2 TIMES ALREADY AND IT TILL HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP DOESN'T SEEM TO FIND T TO BE THAT BIG OF A DEAL. HWY SPEEDS THE CABIN SOUND LIKE YOU HAVE ONE WINDOW OPEN AND YOU GET THAT SOUND OF BEING IN A TUNNEL. SINCE DAY 1 WHEN PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE AND THEN TO DRIVE, THERE IS A CLUNKING POPPING SOUND FROM THE BACK OF CAR AFTER IT HITS ABOUT 20 MPH. HAD THAT LOOKED AT 3 TIMES AND THEY CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT. IT IS MUCH LOUDER AND MORE OFTEN NOW WITH MORE MILES DEAL SAYS ALL MY PROBLEMS ARE NORMAL AND NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT TO DEAL WITH IT. WORST CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!!!!!

I LOVE MY CAR AND I JUST HAD IT IN FOR ITS 15,000 MILE CHECKUP LAST WEEK AND THEN ON SATURDAY I AM AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY ROAD AND LIGHT TURNS GREEN AND MY CAR WON'T MOVE, IT WAS ACTING LIKE I HAD IT IN PARK BUT IT WAS IN DRIVE. SO I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN DRIVE NOTHING SO I DID THIS A FEW TIMES AND THEN IT FINALLY WENT. I WAS VERY THANKFUL THAT EVERYONE STUCK BEHIND ME DID NOT GET IMPATIENT. THE CAR DID THE SAME THING LATER IN THE DAY IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN THE NEXT DAY IN MY DRIVEWAY. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. SO MONDAY MORNING I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID TO CALL ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND HAVE IT BROUGHT TO THEM. ON WEDNESDAY I WENT AFTER WORK TO PICK UP MY CAR - THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NO ERROR CODES CAME UP. I AM ACTUALLY NERVOUS DRIVING MY CAR NOW, I AM HOPING THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, BUT IF IT DOES AND THEY DO NOT FIX IT I WILL BE GETTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

Hyundai Motor America
Defect Description:
ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
Potential Consequences:
PURCHASED JANUARY 2016 - LIMITED AWD WITH FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED FLICKERING INTERIOR LIGHTS AND BOTH HEAD LIGHTS LEAKED, ONE SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED. LATER ON DEVELOPED HARD START UPS, SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. ALONG WITH INTERMITTING FRONT SAFETY SENSORS AND A GLITCHING CENTER CONSOLE/BACK UP CAMERA. 7,500 MILES IN THE AC STOPPED WORKING FROM FREEZING OVER. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE ON VACATION AND DISCOVERED A MELTED FUSE BOX COVER AND BURNT TOW HITCH/ECU WIRES WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CORROSION. DEALERS COULD NO CONFIRM RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOW HITCH HARNESS, CLAIMED IT WAS NOT FACTORY INSTALLED WHEN IT WAS FACTORY INSTALLED AND EVEN ON THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER. WE CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE EVERYDAY FOR OVER A WEEK BEGGING FOR HELP WITH NO CALL BACKS. ROADSIDE WOULD NOT COVER A TOW TO THE SELLING DEALER. ENDED UP DRIVING OURSELVES AN HOUR SOUTH TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAITS FOR A HYUNDAI ENGINEER TO FLY IN AND LOOK AT IT. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS WIRING HARNESS IN OTHER MODELS, THE DEALER WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART BECAUSE IT WAS DISCONTINUED. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS CURRENTLY OUT FOR OUR CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AS THE MELTING WIRES ARE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD ALONG WITH THE UNRELIABLE TRANSMISSION AND SAFETY SENSORS.
