I have had a problem opening up my driver side back door sense summer of 2020 so I've taken the back door panel off and I pull on the wire from the inside to open it up. I've dealt with that just fine it's irritating but now my passenger side front is not wanting to open from the outside do I have to read across and open up the door if anybody is going to be on the passenger side. Now the driver's side door has started doing it. So now I'm expected to climb in true the passenger rear door and up into the front seat or open the door from the inside and then walk back around my car. That is until the back passenger door decides to start doing the same thing and then I guess I'll have to climb in through the trunk? Or maybe that'll be the next one to go? Another issue that have been having a lot of trouble with is the front interior dome or the console the passenger side light doesn't like to come on most of the time, but occasionally it does. The biggest issue is the front headlights and the brake lights. So the headlights have been needing to be replaced more often than I ever heard of anybody replacing them, less than 6 month sometimes. Other times that had like just goes out and then I have to get under the hood and hopefully get the cap off so that I can play with the fitting and hope that it will come back on. Because I actually do most of my driving in the dark when it's night time so I kind of need my lights. Sometimes that doesn't work but the next morning I will turn on the vehicle the light is working again?... I've been dealing with that issue for about a year as well. Just recently within the last few months bee tail light or brake light has started doing the same thing. Specifically the passenger brake light so far. I could sense there was some sort of electrical issue coming on but wouldn't have expected all of this, back to back at the same time.
2016 Hyundai Tucson lights complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 29 of 29, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Originally when I purchased my car I complained to the dealer about my radio going black and they claimed it was due to the cold and brushed it off. Now recently I had the same issue but now as I was driving straight on the highway all of the lights on the dash keep flickering on and off telling me to check every system. My car signals/hazards will not work. Speedometer will not work along with blind spot recognition and other things.
Blinker stays on even after it is shut off, brake like continuously goes out, even though it has been replaced several times (may be a wiring issue).
Brake light (left side) does not work.rear door drivets side will not open.both happened in the city
The headlights turn off and on on their own when it is set to auto. I have worked with hyundai, and engineering has confirmed that they have had several cases where the sensor malfunctions and turned the headlights off and on. It is incredibly dangerous as this happens at night and during the day.
Passenger brake ligh repeatedly goes out, hyundai dealership has admitted it is a recurring issue arising from subpar parts with known quality problems. Occurs randomly; stationary, in motion. Vehicle primarily used for city driving.
The driver side brake lights are failing intermittently. However the bulbs are still working. When I switch the brake lights between the left and the right, the problem still remains on the left side. However the problem goes away and all the brake lights are working for a while. I have not figured out a pattern to how long they work to how long they don't work. There is no problem with the switch since 2 out of 3 lights are always working. It is not a light bulb problem because the failure did not follow the bulb after switching them.
First my driver's side rear door got to sticking at 60, 500 mile and now my front passenger side door doing the same thing. My taillight says it's not work and it be working and vis versus, as if there's a shortage. Now the steep hill lights come on along with the car traction light. It's doing it more now than ever. Having to restart my vehicle everytime now to reset it. It doing it at red light and while I'm driving all on it own. My biggest fear is my doors sticking and the dealership in tupelo ms told me I will have to pay for a diagnostic and to me I feel I should not have to because that dealing with my safety. There have not be any thing done to either door for the to be that way on my behalf.
The right passenger brake light says it is out. Within same day or soon after will be working again. I replace the light bulb it stops working the same day or shortly thereafter. Sounds like a wire isn't working properly. It will be working the whole day and suddenly when I push the brake it goes out.
The issue I have with my hyundai tucson 2016 1.6 turbo happens on an every other daily basis. I recently started having an issue using the left hand signal/blinker and it not working when turning left or changing to left lane while driving. I had the one-touch turn signal feature on where you tap the signal lever and the turn signal flashes 3, 5, or 7 times then off. While driving (maybe 25 - 30% of the time) when signalling for a left-hand turn using the one touch feature, the signal will not engage at all. When making a left turn, I would fully engage the signal to turn left and then complete the turn, the lever would snap back to neutral but the signal would still blink 3 times then off. I either have to slightly increase the down pressure on the lever or click it off and then back down for it to work. No issues at all signalling to the right. I'm afraid this may cause an accident because of other drivers not aware of me changing lanes and/or turning left. I took it to the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem and suggested I get it on recording somehow. I'm not sure how I can do that when it only happens when I'm driving (not safe to try and record something while driving).
Lights of stop do not have normal function. Sometimes, turn on and most of time, not.

I purchased a hyundai tucson in sepember of 2016 new. I noticed right away that I could not see very well at night. The headlights are aimed at the ground 2-3 car lengths in front of the bumper. With the high beams on you can see the definite line between light and dark approx 4-5 car lengths in front of the bumper. When cars are approaching on an undivided road, the visibility is reduced even more from the glare of the oncoming lights. I have had 2 close calls where I almost hit a pedestrian walking on the edge of the road with dark clothes on. I have taken the vehicle to autofair hyundai in manchester, nh on two occasions to have the headlights adjusted to correct the problem. I quote the response,"customer would like us to adjust the headlights, states he can not see at night, can see if we can adjust them, misc per state law we cannot adjust the headlights above where they are currently. 6686 isp" the insurance institute for highway safety's evaluations says "manufacturers aren't paying enough attention to the actual on-road performance of the basic equipment,we're optimistic that improvements will come quickly now that we've given automakers something to strive for." for 2017, vehicles will need good or acceptable headlights in order to qualify for the institute's highest award, top safety pick+.that's real nice of them. What happens to my 2016 model? I want my vehicle recalled and repaired. Why should I have to wait and be forced to buy a 2017 model in order to have a safe car at night?
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. I am afraid they aren't going to make any real changes unless someone has a tragic accident and dies.
A/c digital display brightness is very dim and cannot be adjusted. It is so dim that I am unable to read the display during daytime hours. The instrument display brightness is adjustable. Dealer took a new tucson off the lot and. It had the same problem. They issued a case number 9227369. Have not heard anything from hyundai about this design problem.
