2016 Hyundai Tucson: grinding or squealing brakes

Filed May 5, 2022 · Engine · TX

I was driving on interstate and my vehicle felt like it was losing power. It felt like the engine was failing. My car started squeaking and flutter when I tried to accelerate pass 65 mph. I took it to delearship and they told me my engine needed replaced. It only had like 89k miles on it. They replaced engine. I picked up SUV, and as I am driving home on interstate my car started to shake and squeal again when I accelerated to 65 mph. It seemed I had to floor the accelerator to get to 65 mph. I took suv back and this time they told me it was the transmission. It is currently in shop getting transmission fixed. Hyundai has had my car now for 4.5 months replacing motor and now transmission. I bought this car brand new, and had issues with this SUV in the past. It would consume a lot oil way before it time for oil change, but dealership did oil consumption test and said it was fine. It lost complete power at traffic stop. Every time I took it to delearshop they would say everything look good. My model Vin number isn’t on the recall list, but I wouldn’t purchase a used 2016 Hyundai, Tucson do to safety concerns.

There is an acceleration recall on some of the 2016 tucson's my VIN does not show up on there but I'm having the exact problems that they're recalling the car for I go to the dealership and they say that my car is fine but it isn't. I've been stuck in an intersection several times I've had my car make this grinding sound when I apply the gas from a stop and my car is sitting there. Others that have driven with me have witness this happened but the dealership hasn't been able to recreate the problem. This happens from a stop example if I'm at a stoplight apply the brakes to go and the car makes a grinding sound or sometimes when I'm going around a corner after a stop it will hesitate and I'll be stuck in the intersection

While driving in stop and go traffic such as a left turn or on the freeway at rush hour, my vehicle will completely cease to accelerate. You can audibly hear the clutches grinding instead of ticking as they used to as well. The dct seems to put the car in a neutral state upon stop and go, and, not move. This includes when I have been on the freeway in rush hour as well as I have been stranded in the middle of the intersection on a left hand turn and not been able to accelerate for at least 5 seconds. Hyundai motor corp. Of america states this is normal functioning for the vehicle and that people need to learn to use the dct. I am supposed to apparently get out of my car on the freeway and ask other drivers to please hold off from slamming into my back end as the dct takes 3-5 seconds extra to figure out how to accelerate in stop and go situations. I have had it into hyundai of avondale 1x, rodeo hyundai of surprise 2x, and, hyundai of peoria 1x for these issues. I am very afraid of this car and hyundai now that they have seen the car for repairs will no longer honor the warranty work. The service gm of hyundai peoria stated while on speaker with hyundai amusa that they are in fact seeing this issue weekly but, hyundai does not have a fix for it and they don't want to be involved with any possible arbitration at their dealership! I also had the vehicle inspected at a second opinion away from hyundai and have been told that this vehicle is unsafe to drive. Hyundai of avondale tech experienced what I said was wrong with this death trap vehicle and it scared him. They actually apologized for having to give back my car and stop and paying for the rental. The dealerships are well aware that this is an issue and hyundai amcusa doesn't want to own up to it. Will it take someone dying like myself before this is resolved?

I have a 2016 tuscon turbo limited which I purchased in august of 2015. I have had these issues since I owned the vehicle. The SUV dual transmission does not go in gear when you do a rolling stop (under 4-0 mpr) or full stop. Two things happen when you accelerate, not pumping the gas pedal as hyundai states, either the SUV RPM shoot up to over 3k RPM's and it does not go into gear or you hear a loud metal grinding sound while the SUV coast forwards. Since this happen intermittently it is a serious safety problem. This happen is a city environment. I have had these issues since I purchased the SUV in august 2015. My hyundai has the 2 software and 1 recall updates upto december 2016

Last week while driving this vehicle, I was stopped at a red light on university pkway,heading to utc mall, in sarasota florida. When it was time to move the car would not! When I took my foot off the brake it would not move! It would not roll forward, it would not do anything!! The RPM's jumped on gauges and AC cut out. I shut off the AC, but the same issue was repeating itself. I also tried a different drive mode. Nothing worked, until I applied max acceleration, as I had to get out of the intersection, somehow, at which point the tires squealed, and the car took off! I found a parking space and turned the car off. I called my service advisor at the lakewood store in bradenton and he told me to have it towed in. I chose to drive it in. Lakewood service techs, in bradenton, fl. Performed hyundai multi point inspection and I was told, and it is written on my service order, "tech unable to duplicate issue. No issue found. Vehicle functioning as designed!" I have contacted consumer affairs, per my service advisor's recommendation, and his service manager, and I have a case number, however I have not heard back, at this writing. I left the car there! I will not drive this, again! That was two weeks ago! I've also been in communication with the operations manager for the gettel hyundai dealerships in florida, and he informed me yesterday, that I would be hearing from hyundai motors in atlanta, ga. With a resolution. I did not! This car is unsafe, and I want them to buy it back! It only has 2300 miles on it, purchased 4 months ago! I have googled this vehicle, and have found many complaints, of the same nature. I would like to put this nightmare behind me, and be able to go and purchase another vehicle. I cannot, until this one is resolved, and I am reimbursed. I am paying 400.00 a month, currently to hyundai motor corp., for a vehicle I cannot drive!

After stopping at a stop sign, the transmission did not engage. The gears were grinding and eventually they snapped into position causing the vehicle to lunge forward. On another occasion, I was slowing down approaching a traffic circle, as I tried to enter the circle the transmission did not engage. Fortunately I had enough momentum to pull to the side to avoid being hit by on coming traffic. The final incident I had before bringing the car in for service (which is another story) involved an attempt to enter a highway after slowing down, where once again the transmission did not engage. Once again I was able to pull to the side to avoid a collision. This is definitely in my mind a major safety concern and I am not the only one to have this issue. My car has now been at the hyundai dealer for 60 days "waiting" for a transmission to arrive with no arrival date available or eta of completion in the foreseeable future.
