POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
AS REPORTED BY SOME OTHERS, AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT AN INTERSECTION, WHEN I PRESS ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE RPM'S REV UP TO OVER 4000, BUT THE VEHICLE BARELY MOVES FORWARD FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN DURING PERIODS OF HIGH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES AND ONLY SPORADICALLY. THIS DESCRIBES THE EXACT SAME CONDITIONS THAT HYUNDAI RECALLED THE 2016 TUCSONS FOR IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. THIS IS WHAT HYUNDAI SAID THEN: "HYUNDAI SAYS THE TRANSMISSION CLUTCH APPLICATION LOGIC CAN CAUSE A DELAYED ENGAGEMENT OF THE TRANSMISSION WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP." WHEN I'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE, THE TECHNICIANS SAY THAT THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE CONDITION, SO THEY CANNOT PULL A CODE AND FIND A PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN "STUCK" IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR TRYING TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. I HAVE EXPERIENCED BOTH SITUATIONS AND IT IS NOT SAFE!

Potential Consequences:
2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON AWD LIMITED PURCHASED IN MARCH 2017, CURRENTLY 6000 MILES ON VEHICLE. THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT) HUNTS FOR CORRECT GEARS ON OCCASION CREATING HESITATIONS AND STALLING EFFECTS. SEVERAL TIMES (AS MANY AS 10+), STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP AT A LIGHT, THE CAR WILL BEGIN FORWARD PROGRESS WITH NORMAL DEPRESSION OF GAS PEDAL. POWER TO THE WHEELS WILL THEN COMPLETELY VANISH FOR MOMENTS OF TIME (1-2 SECONDS) THEN THE CAR WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE FORWARD AGAIN. I'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED TWICE DUE TO THIS. I AM LUCKY TO NOT HAVE BEEN T-BONED WHEN CROSSING NON-LIT BUSY INTERSECTIONS. TYPE OF GASOLINE USED (REGULAR OR PREMIUM), DRIVE MODES (STANDARD OR SPORT), HARD DEPRESSION OF PEDAL OR SOFT DEPRESSION OF PEDAL, NOTHING SEEMS TO COINCIDE WITH THE THESE RANDOM OCCURRENCES. THIS IS NOT THE TYPICAL WAY A DCT SHOULD OPERATE. I HAVE DRIVEN VW DCT VEHICLES FOR YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THESE EXTREMELY SCARY HESITATION MOMENTS WITH THEM.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
NO OR MINIMAL FORWARD MOVEMENT WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOPPED POSITION (IN AUTOMATIC). THE OPERATOR MUST DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THERE'S ANY ACCELERATION (AND GETTING HIGH RPMS). IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS ATTEMPTING TO MOVE FORWARD IN THE WRONG GEAR - THERE'S NO POWER/TORQUE. THIS SITUATION OCCURS FREQUENTLY AND IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION FROM A FULL STOP - ESPECIALLY WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT-HAND TURN WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC (BUT NOT LIMITED TO TURNS). THE VEHICLE SLOWS ALMOST TO A STALL. THESE SYMPTOMS OCCUR IN ALL 3 DRIVE MODES: ECO, STANDARD, AND SPORT. HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED THESE SYMPTOMS AT NIGHT OR LEAVING A GARAGE IN THE MORNING. IT APPEARS TO OCCUR AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SUN FOR A LONG PERIOD, I.E, WHEN THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF THE VEHICLE IS HOT. I LIVE IN ARIZONA. AS ADDED CONTEXT, IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THIS IS MY 3RD HYUNDAI TUCSON SE. THE PREVIOUS MODELS WERE 2010 AND 2013. I NEVER EXPERIENCED THESE SYMPTOMS WITH THOSE EARLIER MODELS. I HAVE 3000+ MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND HAVE MORE OR LESS EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW.

WE PURCHASED A 2017 TUSCON LIMITED AWD WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. SINCE WE'VE HAD THIS SUV IT HAS THIS PROBLEM. I HAD MENTIONED IT TO THE DEALER AND I FINALLY TOOK IT IN TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. FROM A STOP ESPECIALLY ON A HILL AND TURNING THE SUV HESITATES THEN KICKS IN AND HESITATES AGAIN, SENDING ME FORWARD IN MY SEAT. I HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP THE VEHICLE HESITATES SO BADLY I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO BE HIT. BOTTOM LINE I DON'T FEEL SAFE IN MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE TUSCON BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY IT'S EXPECTED BEHAVIOR FOR THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. THEIR ADVICE IS TO DRIVE IN SPORTS MODE ALL OF THE TIME AND NOT IN THE ECONO MODE. ECONO IS THE DEFAULT MODE AND (IS USED TO SAVE ON GAS) NOT SPORT SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I TURN IT ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFAULT IT TO SPORTS. MY QUESTION IS WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DRIVE IN SPORTS MODE TO FEEL SAFER. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2017 AS WELL.

ECONO IS THE DEFAULT MODE AND (IS USED TO SAVE ON GAS) NOT SPORT SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I TURN IT ON EVERY TIME I START THE CAR AND THERE IS NO WAY TO DEFAULT IT TO SPORTS. MY QUESTION IS WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO DRIVE IN SPORTS MODE TO FEEL SAFER. I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. I'VE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, I'VE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH THE 2017 AS WELL.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED, THE DCT SEEMS TO HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN TRYING TO QUICKLY ACCELERATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THE CAR WILL GENERALLY CREEP FORWARD A FEW FEET AT A VERY SLOW CRAWL OF 1-2 MPH, BUT WILL NOT ACTUALLY TAKE OFF UNTIL 3-5 SECONDS INTO PUSHING THE PEDAL. THIS BEHAVIOR OF THE CAR CAN CAUSE YOU TO BE OUT IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC FOR UPWARDS OF 5-7 SECONDS OR LONGER. THIS IS A VERY SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS A CAR SHOULD NEVER HAVE A DELAY IN ACCELERATION OF MORE THAN 1-2 SECONDS LET ALONE 5 OR MORE. I HAVE BEEN IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS DUE TO HIS WHEN TRYING TO MAKE LEFT HAND TURNS ON BUSY STREETS APPEARING AS I AM INTENTIONALLY CREEPING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LIKE I WANT TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND NOT MOVING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND ONE OF THE SERVICE INDIVIDUALS STATED TO ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO FIX. HE SUGGESTED REPROGRAMMING THE TCM (I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO DO THIS WHEN I HAVE TIME TO LEAVE THE CAR), BUT HE DID TELL ME HE HAS NOT SEEN MUCH SUCCESS WITH THE REPROGRAMMING OR THAT THERE MIGHT BE IMPROVEMENT FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WITH RETURN OF THE ISSUE. MY WIFE WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE SHE HAS NO TRUST THAT SHE WILL NOT GET KILLED IN OUR AREA WITH BUSY STREETS. MY FATHER OWNS A REPAIR SHOP IN ANOTHER AREA OF OUR STATE AND WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO ANYONE TO STAY AWAY FROM ANY OF THE HYUNDAI VEHICLES AT THIS TIME AS THE COMPANY DOES NOT APPEAR TO CARE ABOUT SAFETY IF THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITHOUT A SOLUTION.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
THE DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS, AS IT HAS AN EXTREME DELAYED ACCELERATION WHEN COMING OFF A COMPLETE STOP OR JUST INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, IN WHICH THE ENGINE WILL REDLINE IN RPM. PARKING LOTS ARE ABSOLUTE MISERY AS WELL, AS THE VEHICLE JERKS HEAVILY AT LOW SPEEDS. ANOTHER SHOCKING ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION IS THAT IT WILL PROPEL THE CAR FORWARD 3-5 MPH EVEN WITHOUT PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND GOING UP A HILL. IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THIS TRANSMISSION IS LEGAL TO SELL TO CAR BUYERS AND I HOPE THE NHTSA TAKES FURTHER ACTION AGAINST HYUNDAI. I'VE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AND I'M GOING TO BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, AS I CAN'T DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I'M CURRENTLY SEARCHING FOR THE BEST OPTION OF REMEDIATION; PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU NEED ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I TRULY HOPE HYUNDAI DOES NOT GET AWAY WITH RELEASING SUCH A DANGEROUS PRODUCT INTO THEIR VEHICLES.
