2016 Hyundai Tucson transmission complaints

As I was pulling onto highway from a complete stop, the car paused and revved engine and then kicked into gear and went. This is a safety hazard, as there were other vehicle driving towards me, and the car would not go for a few seconds.
My 2016 hyundai tucson eco dct has a dangerous random "shudder/hesitation" safety problem that needs to be resolved.*dt a "shudder / hesitation" randomly occurs at slower speeds. I've brought up my concern each time I have had my vehicle in for regularly scheduled service. I have only 28000 miles on it. The mechanics report that "it didn't occur for them, or show-up on their computer, so they say they can't do anything about it". I've explained each time that it occurs randomly, and mostly at slow speed when slowly coming to a stop, when parking pulling in or out of a space or driveway, at stop signs either slowly stopping, or proceeding forward at a light or intersection, and sometimes when trying to turn into the flow of traffic. I am positive that hyundai is very aware of what the problem is with the 2016 tucson eco dct. I recently received a letter from hyundai referring to a 'proposed class action settlement', but it was expired already ! I mentioned there were over 300 complaints of a similar "shudder / hesitation" on one web site alone! This is a dangerous problem that could result in a rear end or intersection collision because of the "shudder / hesitation" that occurs randomly. I have passenger witnesses as well. There is definately a dangerous safety defect causing a "shudder" in the 2016 tucson eco dct that needs to be resolved. I was given a hyundai complaint dept. Number to call, and I reported the problem. The claim administrator seemed quite aware of similar complaints. He gave me a claim number, and said he would call me back monday, to 'set up another service appointment', and "arrange for a specialist" to be there. I received a call on wednesday, and was now informed "there was nothing more he could do", and he was "closing out my case number, and suggested I just bring it to the dealer again", and re-file a new claim# !
Hello, I bought a used 2016 hyundai tucson eco less then a month ago from autonation that had only 40,000 miles on it. Within 2 weeks of buying the vehicle, the check engine turned on for a p259f trouble code for a turbocharger position sensor that I had got from using autonation's vehicle app. Naturally , I called autonation to have my car fixed, but the engine light had gone off before I brought my in vehicle in for repairs. When I did bring my vehicle in to the dealership, they confirmed that there was a check engine light on from my turbo, but that it had gone off and that the car was functioning normally, and to go to a hyundai dealership for a special diagnostic if the issue consisted. On the same day of getting my car back, I started noticing engine performance issues, my acceleration would be affected by 1 to 2 seconds where the car would not go, and when it would finally notice the throttle it would jump kick the car. Also the worst of all, it also cut out at one point where it did not want to give any sort of throttle at all, I needed to have my foot all the way down on the pedal to just go 30 MPH. During that time I noticed that the engine would be revving high while no speed was being gained, and no check engine lights where going off either. Because of that, I was almost involved in an accident where I could not accelerate out of an intersection when making a turn. What makes me believe this is the turbo electrical problem, is that the way I got my car to accelerate normally is that I parked it and restarted it, after that it started accelerating normally, but at times the acceleration would still be affected.
This issue recur after the first incident that made us go back and forth to the dealership 3yrs ago. Hyundai of seattle should have a full record of this issue. Recently then, our car shows similar issues. The car is slow to accelerate from stop to go. Does not pick up accelerations when you step on the gas. On inclined or climb, engine has a hard time and seems to shake a bit then steady itself after 2 mins as you step in the gas to keep it in motion
The transmittion fail and doing a hits in low velocity other sting is when I take a up hills and stop the SUV, it go back quickly and is very dangerous, because the SUV can,t hold in stand by until star the trip
On dec 17, 2019 at the intersection of pineville matthews rd and 485 in pineville n.c.at approx 5:00 pm turning lft on to 485 I was nearly t boned at the intersection due the dual clutch transmission not engaging in 1st gear and then lunging forward when it did.this is the third time this has happened since I have owned the vehicle.the SUV now has 40,000 miles on it. I have taken the car to the dealership each time. Were they will not document what I ask them to document and only record an evasive statement of driving concerns.and tell me in the end we did reset the control module but were not able to replicate your concern. The transmission also shutters at times while in gear. Dealership keffer hyundat matthews n.c.
While stopped at a stop sign I let off the brake and hit the gas and the car did not want to move it seemed like it was in neutral and once it starts moving the car starts jerking and slips from 1 to 2nd gear. Same thing has happened at traffic lights, and merging into traffic. After taking it to the dealer and reprogramming the computer it will still do it. The car has 56k miles on it and it seems to be doing it more often now. I really didn't think anyone else had this issue, but after reading up on it, it seems to be a common issue on the 1.6 turbo tucson. Also the rear brake lights seem to stop working and all of a sudden just work as if anything was wrong. This has happened a few times as well. I'm afraid we're are going to get into an accident because of this.
Recently bought 2016 hyundai tucson limited and the car has 29,000 miles on it. When in traffic and remove my foot from the brake the car with shake as it is about to stall out and then finally kick in and start moving forward normally. I've tried to pull out into traffic and had the car stall for a second before going forward. I don't feel safe pulling out unless I have enough time for the other car to stop just in case the car does stall out. I was told by the deal that the good news is the car is supposed to act like this. Dealers seem to know about this issue but since the computer doesn't throw up a flag they don't do anything about it.
Every day my car stutters as I begin my day to work. It lags in acceleration at least one to three times a day. It has happened when I accelerate in rush hour, trying to go after a light turns green, or speeding up just in general. I have kids in my car constantly because of my job and I can recall two times that I've almost been hit because my car didn't do as I needed it to. It has freaked me out and I wonder if I'm going to get stuck one day, it sputters and I don't feel like my ride home is guaranteed. I always thought it was just a turbo thing, because I've never owned a car with turbo but now I'm realizing other people have this issue and it has nothing to do with me or my driving. It happens on the freeway, it happens on the city street and it happens pulling out of my driveway. This has happened since I've owned the car and I'm sad to say I've thought it was just my make and model this whole time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. While driving various speeds, the vehicle hesitated, quivered, and sometimes stalled while coming out of a turn and changing lanes. The failure also occurred while accelerating from a stop. The vehicle was previously taken to murdock hyundai (4646 s. State st, murray, ut) where the transmission was reprogrammed, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.
Even after reprogramming of my 2016 tucson dual clutch transmission (dct), I still worry about the safety of the car. Transmission is still herky-jerkey when creeping along in traffic. On a couple of occasions at higher speed (say merging into traffic at 50-70 MPH) the transmission has been slow to change gears, and on at least one occasion the transmission temporarily went into a "neutral' state temporarily disconnected from power transfer from the engine. If that were to happen say when crossing traffic it could be very dangerous.
I cannot accelerate into traffic. There is a hesitation in the accelerator. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it chugs first then goes. I have trouble merging and getting into traffic. It is unreliable from a stationary to movement.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. While depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle would not immediately respond and then suddenly accelerated/lunged forward. The vehicle would also shudder and vibrate while driving at very low speeds. Also, on occasion, the engine and rpms would rev very high while depressing the accelerator pedal; however, the speed would not increase, which made it very difficult while passing other vehicles. The vehicle was taken to prestige hyundai (768 e. Chester st, kingston, ny), but the cause of the failures could not duplicated. The dealer stated that the vehicle operated normally. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The failure mileage was 50.
The car stalled(did not accellerate while merging in to traffic for about 3 seconds . This required oncoming traffic to brake to prevent an accident. The speed limit was 40mph on a street circling a mall.this is the third time this problem has occurred owning this car which only has a little over 13800 miles on it I have since checked with the dealership and there are no outstanding recalls for this problem and no solution to this problem. I therefore think there is a safety issue with the dct and engine software/hardware that could lead to an accident.
Trans doesn' work right in first gear does't go in gear right a way I will get rear ended oneday
Passenger air bag comes on at times. Transmission some times will not move the car.
You randomly get no response when accelerating to move into traffic..like it's not getting any gas, then all of a sudden you can feel transmission going into gear as it finally catches. When in slow, crawling freeway traffic, it's always jerking when barely moving- as a manual transmission does when you don't give it enough gas...first time issues happened when I was making a left hand turn on a 50mph highway against oncoming traffic from a stop. This is not a sound vehicle in my opinion. You never know how long it's going to take to make turns into traffic or just leaving a parking spot..you get the herky-jerky until transmission catches. And it's not all the time, very random. Freeway driving is fine so far, which is what most of my commute is. But until reaching freeway speeds, it's always a worrisome drive.
Car doesn't always accelerate when you push gas peddle.I have to wait to pull into traffic because I am not sure car will go when I hit gas.never know when this will happen. Only happens from a stop or going slow.the hyundai dealer said they have a different transmission in the 2019 tucson.I am sure they will not do anything about it unless enough people get hurt or killed.I know two other people with the same vehicle and they have the same problem.
My vehicle stalls to accelerate.when I hit the gas it will stall to move, it's dragging very slow. This is very scary when I'm driving and my SUV slows down when other cars are driving fast behind me.
I've noticed a lag in pressing on the gas pedal many times, but there have been specific instances where it's been significant. I was pulling across traffic turning left from a stop, and it felt as though the engine stalled and took about 5 seconds to catch. This also occurs when pulling into my work parking lot that is on a hill, I often get stuck for about 5 seconds before it catches.
Horrible hesitation upon acceleration!!! Afraid of having an accident. Also, last evening I was stuck in construction traffic and my transmission started overheating!!! A few minutes later the car stopped!! I was on a major road and now caused more of a traffic jam. Had to sit there for 10minutes till it cooled enough and the light went off.
My vehicle stalls when I hit the gas. Has trouble switching gears.
The vehicle stalls while, from a stop, trying to merge into traffic. It seems to be a well known issue with this vehicle and the dealer told me just learn how to drive it. We have almost been hit several times due to this defect and my wife refuses to drive the tucson. Hyundai too knows of this issue and has had no recall for this issue. I understand there has also been law suits for the lemon law against this vehicle but, the deep pockets of hyundai's corporate lawyers always wins out. Do people have to become seriously injured or perhaps dead before a recall happens? The date below reflects the last time I was almost hit because the car started to move and then stopped.
Ever since purchase of the vehicle we have experienced hesitation when accelerating from a stop on a city street. This is very dangerous when making an unptotected left turn and the car won't pick up and go. I took it to the dealer and they made some adjustment but I am still having the problem.
On several occasions when depressing the gas pedal, the rpms go up but the vehicle doesn't move. It has happened from a dead stop, and also when accelerating when already moving, both at low rates of speed and on the interstate.
While my vehicle was in motion, driving down a mountain highway at approx. 40 MPH the RPM revved up to 5 RPM and would not come down even when coming to a complete stop and putting it into park. I also have constant hesitation with the engine when stopping at a light in town and then moving forward from a complete stop. The car jerks and their is delay to go when pressing the gas pedal after being stopped at a light. The car will at times not go into reverse when trying to back out of a parking space. I have found that when this happens I have to completely put car in park and turn the car off, then restart the car and put it into reverse before I can back it out successfully.
When accelerating from a stop, the vehicle is not responsive yet the rpms increase then making it jump and shudder, it is very difficult to control your speed when accelerating from a stop. Additionally, while at slow speeds, the vehicle shudders and bucks. This occurs in any situation where the vehicle is stopped; at stop signs, stoplights, stop and go traffic, while turning, etc..I have had this 2016 vehicle for one week and the did check safety recalls for the VIN. There were no unresolved recalls for this vehicle. However, I see that a recall concerning this issue was issued for my same year, make, and model. After doing some research, I have found hundreds of similar reports.
Purchased 2016 hyundai tucson eco from a used car dealer. Carfax reported no open recalls. Concerned with hesitation when pressing gas when in a stopped position to moving at stop sign or stoplight . Recall 149, but this VIN is not showing a recall.
At certain instances, the vehicle won't move from a complete stop. I step on the accelerator and vehicle is not budging making me worry that the vehicle behind me will hit me. If it moves at all, there is a drag, then it will suddenly lunges forward where I almost hit the vehicle in front of me.
