Since I got this vehicle the gear shift gets stuck. I have gone to the dealership to get the problem fixed. The problem has been the backlight switch. It is a big hassle trying to get this problem fixed with the dealership. The backlight switch last two to three years. I got the recall letter about the backlight switch in 2012, but why my VIN number is not listed? The dealership has been charging me every single time I have been there for this constant problem. I almost got kill by the train because of this backlight switch problem. I got stuck a feet away from the rail tracks two weeks ago, there was a car at front of me and I couldn't move the gear shift to reverse. The car decided to move at the last minute and I couldn't do anything. The contention bar was over my windshield so I couldn't move forward and I couldn't move backwards because the gear shift wasn't moving. I have been in the dealership for five times and the last two times, they have kept my car there, but they haven't even touched it. They haven't told me the reason why, but I just found it out. It is because my VIN number is not listed. This is a very dangerous problem. Driving a car with this problem once you apply the brakes the gear shift won't work. Neither in case you have to park or make a turn. Picking up my daughter from school is a big problem because once I park, the gear shift doesn't move down, so I have to turn it off up to three times and wait each time two to three minutes until the engine resets itself. Drivers behind me get so frustrated. Would you please help me to list my VIN number? I am very concerned driving this car with my family.

I heard a clunk upon turning right, exiting a parking lot. The rear end of the car started to sway. Fearing a blown tire, I pulled off the road, only to find the left rear wheel pitched at a rather unhealthy angle. After towing the car to my local repair shop it was discovered that the rear cross member was rusted out. Apparently this is a fairly common occurrence in certain hyundai models. Although out of warranty, it seems like hyundai should be willing to address this issue of rust and stand by their vehicles.

When driving and occasionally hit a bump the icon (slippery) appears on the dash and later when you stop to back up to park the gears get stuck and you can't move it to the gear to backup. Since this car has stick shift and automatic driving features you have to keep shifting the years back and forth until it jumps back into reverse. This happens to frequently.

When traveling at about 35-40 MPH, the vehicle sometimes does not engage when trying to automatically shift to the next gear. This causes the driver to lose all acceleration and essentially puts the vehicle into a coast. Tapping on the accelerator does nothing to engage the transmission again. However, after a few seconds or more, the transmission will finally engage. If you happen to have the accelerator pressed this will lurch the vehicle forward. If you happen to be behind another vehicle this could potential cause an accident by ramming the vehicle in front of you. There have been a couple of 'close calls'. I have videos of the engine revving that I can supply, but the file sizes are too large to upload. This has been occurring since I purchased the vehicle new. They replaced the transmission at 5000 miles for a similar situation. The problem occurrence diminished, but over the years the problem has been happening more frequently. I have always reported this to the dealer when taking it in for service. The dealer has been unable to replicate the situation or offer any solution. They have been supplied with the videos. The exact cause of this is currently unknown.

My problem with this tucson is in regards of "sudden unintended acceleration". It sporadically, on an almost daily basis we experience "sua" followed by immediately loses power and acceleration every time it's driven. Ex: driving on the freeway doing 70mph, it will lunge and the tachometer will race and suddenly loses power down to 35mph. Then has a lag accelerating afterwards. This is consistent through out the day since I commute a lot. Other issues, when engine on idle it feels like it's about to stall. We have taken this to the dealership 3 times and from their diagnosis, they don't see the problem. There is definitely a malfunction in the transmission and doing research I've found these issues with numerous tucson owners. We are concerned with our safety as we now have had a couple of close calls on the freeway. We bought this vehicle for safety and now are starting to question our safety due to this issue.
