Potential Consequences:
IN AUGUST 2016 I PURCHASED A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED. SINCE DAY ONE, WHILE IN TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE WILL BEGIN TO SHUDDER UNTIL NEAR STALL. THE SHUDDERING OCCURS WHEN EITHER ROLLING FORWARD, ACCELERATING THE GAS, OR SITTING IDLE, AS A RESULT MY CAR DOES NOT RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AT ALL TIMES. DURING MY FIRST MONTH OF OWNERSHIP THE DEALER DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DANGEROUS, MY WIFE'S IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND SHE IS RELUCTANT TO DRIVE IT FOR FEAR THAT SHE WILL BE INJURED IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES AND GET NO REAL ANSWERS EXCEPT THAT THE CAR CHECKS OUT FINE AND THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. THEY DO, HOWEVER, ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM IS A DESIGN ISSUE IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS NO MATTER WHAT DRIVE MODE I AM IN. I HAVE TRIED TURNING OFF THE AC BUT THAT HAS NO AFFECT. I HAD ONE INSTANCE WHERE, WHILE MOVING FROM STOP TO MAKE A LEFT TURN IN AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR STUMBLED AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION AND WE NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. WE HELP WITH TRANSPORTATION FOR THE GRANDKIDS AND WE CANNOT DRIVE THE 10 YEAR OLD IN THIS CAR, SHE GETS CAR SICK FROM THE SHUDDERING/HESITATION. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE TO SUBSTITUTE ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE DAYS WE DRIVE HER.

Potential Consequences:
SINCE TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE, I'VE EXPERIENCED CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE BUCKING WHEN MOVING AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC. THE CAR HESITATES TO DRIVE AFTER A STOP AT AN INTERSECTION AND MAKES A WINDING NOISE WHEN IT FINALLY DOES ACCELERATE. ONE INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN THE DRIVE-THRU LANE AT MCDONALD'S AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW THE CAR TO COOL DOWN FOR 30 MINUTES. ANOTHER INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING IN A PARKING MALL STRUCTURE WITH AN INCLINED ROAD, THERE SEVERAL CARS BEHIND ME AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED, I HAD TO PULL OVER IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION PUTTING FAMILY AND ME IN DANGER BY VEHICLES PASSING BY IN A VERY NARROW LANE AND ALLOW THE VEHICLE TIME TO COOL OFF AGAIN. LAST WEEK WHILE AT A SHOPPING CENTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE AND IT JOLTED FORWARD ALMOST STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER COUNTLESS TIMES (SERVICE RECORDS ARE ATTACHED). THE LAST DIAGNOSIS THERE WAS AN INTERNAL OIL LEAK IN THE TRANSMISSION. THEY EVENTUALLY ENDED UP REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REMANUFACTURED TRANSMISSION, BUT THE ISSUE IS STILL OCCURRING. I HAVE SINCE PARKED THE VEHICLE AS I REFUSE TO CONTINUE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR. I REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS, BUT NO RESOLUTION HAS BEEN REACHED. PLEASE PROVIDE SOME SUPPORT IN GETTING THIS MATTER RESOLVED.

TRIED BEING MORE AGGRESSIVE ON GAS PEDAL BUT STILL HESITATES, THEN IT REALLY SHOOTS OFF. VEHICLE HAS 3 MODES OF DRIVING- NORMAL, ECO, SPORT. TRIED ALL 3 AND PROBLEM REMAINS. ALTHOUGH I CAN'T DUPLICATE/CONFIRM RESULTS IT SEEMS TO OPERATE [SLIGHTLY] BETTER IN LOWER TEMPS (50-70F DEGREES) VS HOT TEMPS (85-95F). DISCONCERTING OR DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC.
Additional Notes:

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
WHEN PULLING OUT ONTO A ROAD FROM A STOP SIGN, MY CAR WILL BARELY ACCELERATE, AND THE RPMS WILL RACE FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR SUDDENLY LURCHES INTO GEAR AND FINALLY MOVES. THIS HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS (THANKFULLY, NO ACCIDENTS YET). THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT ENOUGH TO BE VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WITH NEW DRIVERS IN MY HOUSE. I TALKED TO THE HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER, AND THEY ACTED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF SUCH THING -- EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN AND THEY COULD TRY TO DUPLICATE IT, BUT IN THE ABSENCE OF A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT, THEY DOUBTED THEY WOULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. ALSO, WHEN CREEPING ALONG IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR SHUDDERS LIKE IT WANTS TO STALL. IN EITHER SCENARIO, IT'S EMBARRASSING TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN THE CAR. I CAN'T WAIT TO GET RID OF THIS CAR.

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!!
