WHEN ON ANY HILL (REVERSING OR FORWARD), IN HEAVY BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, AND IN SOME INTERMITTENT SITUATIONS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES A LOSS OF POWER. THE SCARIEST PART OF THIS IS THAT THE CAR JOLTS QUICKLY ONCE IT FINALLY "FINDS A GEAR" AND DECIDES TO GO. WHEN MY CAR DIES BECAUSE IT CAN'T DEAL WITH SLOWER BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC, THERE'S A PROBLEM! WHEN I'M TRYING TO BACKUP ON A HILL AND THERE'S AN OBJECT BEHIND ME AND I NEARLY HIT IT BECAUSE I CAN'T GET THE CAR TO GO, IT'S A PROBLEM. IT'S A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM THAT YOU AND THEY KEEP IGNORING! JUST LIKE THE FIRES THAT THEY IGNORED FOR YEARS. THE DEALERSHIPS REPORT TO HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND IN MY RESEARCH, IT'S CAUSED BY A COUPLE OF THINGS. THE FUEL FILTER IS CONSTANTLY DIRTY FROM WHATEVER FUEL TANK COATING HYUNDAI USED ON THE INSIDE OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS FLAKING OFF. THE SECOND REASON IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DCT. IT SHOULD BE ENGAGING THE 1ST GEAR AND IT'S NOT. IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS AN UPDATE WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEMS BUT HYUNDAI DOESN'T CARE ABOUT KEEPING THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFE. IT'S RIDICULOUS THAT HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THESE ISSUES AND NOTHING IS DONE. NOT AN INVESTIGATION UNTIL THEY GET ENOUGH AND SOMEONE PAYS A LAWYER TO DO IT.BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, I AM PUTTING THE ESTIMATED DATE OF PURCHASE LIKE OTHER CUSTOMERS HAVE DONE ON HERE.

ON NOV. 4 2020 AT 2PM, WHILE DRIVING ON F8 EAST FREEWAY ENTERING THE TURN ONTO CA125, MY 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON'S ENGINE BLEW WITHOUT WARNING. THE DASH LIGHTS LIT AS THE CAR LOST POWER THE HOOD BLEW OPEN AND SHUT AND MY 31YR OLD DAUGHTER WAS FORCED TO ALLOW THE CAR TO GLIDE TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. IN A DANGEROUS SPOT. .SHE COULD NOT SEE IN FRONT OF THE CAR UNTIL THE HOOD FELL BACK DOWN. THE DANGER IS THE FACT THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS WARNINGS, THE HOOD BLEW UP AND THE CAR HAD STOPPED WHERE THERE WAS NOT SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR OTHER CARS TO PASS WITHOUT TAPPING MY SIDE MIRROR AND A HUGE TRAIL OF OIL LEFT BEHIND. SHE GOT OVER TO THE PASSENGER SEAT QUICKLY AND ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS SINCE IT WAS HOT OUT. FIRST SHE CALLED EMERGENCY ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE CAR OFF THE FREEWAY. THEY TOOK OVER 2 HRS TO ARRIVE .WHILE MANY CARS DROVE QUICKLY BY BARELY MISSING MY CAR. SHE CALLED ME NEXT IN FEAR OF HER LIFE AND THEN CALLED HER DAD AND HE STAYED ON THE PHONE WITH HER UNTIL THE TOW ARRIVED .I ONLY HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 YEAR. I HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON JUNE 23, 2020 FROM REG OIL TO A SYNTHETIC BLEND. UPON CALLING HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE IT WAS SUGGESTED TO TOW THE CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER FOR INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF ITS COVERED BY WARRANTY. THE ENGINE IS SEVERELY DAMAGED THE BEARINGS WERE DESTROYED AND A ROD THROWN. THE OIL FILTER WAS BLOWN OFF. MY CAR HAD NO PREVIOUS LEAKS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION AGAINST HYUNDAI/KIA FOR MY CARS YEAR BUT WITH THETA 1 AND !! ENGINES. MINE IS A GASOLINE DIRECT ENGINE THAT ALSO HAS PROBLEMS PER CAR COMPLAINTS.COM. WHAT ALSO MAKES THIS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS IS THAT I USE THIS CAR FREQUENTLY TO TRANSPORT MY 11YR OLD DISABLED GRANDSON TO RADY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL FOR MEDICAL APPTS SINCE HE HAS CEREBRAL PALSY AND POOR HEAD AND NECK CONTROL. SOMETHING LIKE THIS COULD HAVE NOT ONLY SNAPPED HIS NECK BUT ALSO CAUSE MASSIVE FATALITIES ON THE FREEWAY..

WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY MY CALLED STALLED. I WAS DRIVING 60 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTED STALLING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. MY CAR WAS COASTING AT THIS POINT DUE TO LACK OF ACCELERATION. I INTERRUPTED THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND HAD TO GO FROM THE FAR LEFT LANE TO RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN TO NO AVAIL. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. 10 MINUTES FROM HOME THE STALLING STARTED AGAIN, I GOT OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY, PULLED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND PULLED HEAD INTO A PARKING SPOT AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, PUT IT INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE WHEN I HIT THE ACCELERATOR. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND THEN I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE THE CAR. AS I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE THE STALLING STARTED AGAIN, I WENT TO BACK MY CAR INTO MY GARAGE SPOT I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE THE CAR INTO REVERSE. I CUT THE CAR OF AND RESTARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO REVERSE MY CAR INTO MY SPOT. THE NEXT DAY (7/20/20) I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE.I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE ON 7/21/20 AND THEY PERFORMED VIGOROUS ROAD TESTS, SCANNED FOR CODES NO CODES PRESENT, CAR WAS LEFT TO IDLE FOR 20 MINUTES AND STILL NO ISSUES AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE CAR FROM 7/21-7/23/20. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR , ESPECIALLY WITH IT STALLING ON THE PARKWAY WHICH IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF, MY CURRENT PASSENGER(S) AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I'M THANKFUL THE CAR BEHIND ME WASN'T TAILGATING OR HE WOULD HAVE SLAMMED INTO ME.

I HAVE A HYUNDAI TUCSON SE PLUS 2.0 LITER HAS ALMOST 21K MILES. I STARTED NOTICING AN ISSUE A FEW WEEKS AGO WHERE IT WILL NOT ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR SLOW CRAWL. I'VE HAD SOME FRIGHTENING SITUATIONS WHERE TAKING A LEFT TURN IN AN INTERSECTION THERE IS DELAYED ACCELERATION AS MUCH AS 2-5 SECONDS WITH ON-COMING TRAFFIC. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WITH THE AC ON AND UNDRIVABLE UNLESS I TURN THE AC OFF AT THE STOPLIGHT/STOP SIGN. I'VE TRIED ADDING SEA FOAM TO A FULL TANK OF GAS THINKING IT WAS DIRTY FUEL-INJECTORS, BUT NO IMPROVEMENT. MY BROTHER HAS AN IDENTICAL CAR WITH 31K MILES AND CALLED ME TODAY OF HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THE ONLY COMMON DENOMINATOR IS IT HAS BEEN HOT (85-90 DEGREES) DURING THE DAY. WHEN THE TEMPERATURES ARE LOWER IN THE MORNING, I DO NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM AS MUCH, BUT IT REMAINS SPORADIC. ALSO, I EXPERIENCED THE CAR SHIFTING AT UNUSUAL TIMES. I RECENTLY HAD AN OIL CHANGE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER, AND I MENTIONED THE ISSUE. THEY COULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM FOR A PRICE WHICH I WAS NOT INCLINED TO DO, MAINLY IF NO CODE WAS TRIGGERED AND IT IS UNDER WARRANTY. MY BROTHER IS TAKING HIS TUCSON NEXT WEEK, AND I WILL WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES OF IT. IT IS NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT TWO IDENTICAL CARS WOULD EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AT THE SAME TIME. HAVING READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA AND OTHER FORUMS, I BELIEVE THIS IS AN ISSUE HYUNDAI IS NOT ADDRESSING. IF HYUNDAI CAN'T FIX THIS SOON, I WILL TURN THE CAR IN WHEN I LEASE IS UP IN A YEAR.

THE STUPID CAR LURCHES FORWARD WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE AND QUITS IN THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC AND INTERSECTION. IT IS A PIECE OF GARBAGE AS IT ENDANGERS EVERYONE IN THE VEHICLE. A 2 TO 3 SECOND PAUSE WITH THE ACCELERATOR PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IT DOES NOTHING AND THE IDIOTS AT EDWARDS AUTO/ HYUNDAI DON'T CARE ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REMOVED FROM SERVICE UNTIL THEY FIRE THE MORON PROGRAMMERS AND FIX THE COMPUTER, SOFTWARE, BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR SENSORS. FACT IS THE CAR'S COMPUTER ISN'T FAST ENOUGH TO PROCESS THE SENSORS. IT IS A DANGER TO MYSELF AND IF IGET HURT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY ME FOR FAILING TO TAKE ALL TUSCONS OFF THE ROAD AND PUT THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN JAIL FOR PUBLIC ENDANGERMENT.

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD GO INTO FIRST GEAR AND ACCELERATE FOR A FEW SECONDS, THEN WOULD TRY TO MOVE UP TO A HIGHER GEAR AND GET SUSPENDED FOR ABOUT 5-7 SECONDS AS IF IT COULD NOT FIND THE NEXT GEAR. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2-3 TIMES SO FAR. ALSO, WHEN I HAVE TESTED THE RESPONSE OF ACCELERATING BY PRESSING THE GAS WHILE TRAVELING AT A LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND AS EXPECTED. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE ENGINE ONLY RESPONDED AS IF I WAS SLIGHTLY ACCELERATING. I HAVE A 1.6 TURBO. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD THE LIGHTS ON MY DASHBOARD GO OUT - EXCEPT FOR MY RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM. I SUSPECT THIS HAD TO DO WITH A SENSOR AS IT WAS DUSK AND MY LIGHTS TRIPPED SOME ELECTRICAL OR SOFTWARE DEFECT. I WAS GOING DOWN A MAJOR HIGHWAY AROUND WASHINGTON D.C. AT THE TIME AND COULD NOT SEE ANY OF THE DRIVING CONTROLS FOR APPROX 20 SECONDS. I AM NOT SURE IF MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT AT THAT TIME BUT EVENTUALLY, AFTER FLIPPING MY LIGHTS OFF AND ON AND PRESSING THE DASH LIGHT TO MAXIMUM, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD RETURNED. LAST WEEK, THE AUDIO OF MY RADIO/NAVIGATION SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK. AFTER LEAVING MY CAR AND LOCKING IT FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES AND RETURNING, THE SOUND WAS WORKING AGAIN. I TOOK A VIDEO OF THIS. THE TEMPERATURE IN MY VEHICLE WAS NOT REGULATING PROPERLY WHILE STATIONARY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WAS A BAD SENSOR AND REPLACED IT. IT HAS WORKED GREAT SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, I AM STILL HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION FROM A RED LIGHT OR TURNING INTO A ROAD, OR ACCELERATING FROM A VERY SLOW SPEED. MY VEHICLE IS NOW IN A SECOND DEALERSHIP TRYING TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE THAT STILL LINGERS. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO FEEL VERY INSECURE ABOUT DRIVING MY VEHICLE. I AM SECOND OWNER. FIRST OWNER HAD ONLY PUT 2500 MILES ON IT AND TRADED IT IN. PROBABLY A BAD SIGN.
