2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON
HYUNDAI TUCSON 1.6L TURBO ENGINE BURNS OIL INTERNALLY BEFORE 3,000 MILE OIL EXCHANGE. STARTED AROUND 75K MILES. THE TRUCK HESITATES AND WANTS TO STALL. I HAVE TO ADD QUART OF OIL EVERY 2K MILES BEFORE OIL EXCHANGE. THERE IS NO VISIBLE OIL LEAKS. IGNITION COIL ERROR CODE DIAGNOSTICS POINT TO MIS-FIRING OF CYLINDER 2. REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND SWITCH KNOWN GOOD IGNITION COIL BUT SAME ERROR CODE AND ENGINE LIGHT. THIS TRUCK MAKE, YEAR AND MODEL IS WELL KNOWN AT OIL EXCHANGE SERVICE CENTERS FOR RUNNING LOW ON OIL BECAUSE IT BURNS OIL UNKNOWINGLY TO IT'S VEHICLE OWNERS.

WHEN DRIVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, SPECIFICALLY ON AN INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATS AND A BURNING/MELTING RUBBER SMELL IS EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. WHEN CLIMBING A LONG HILL IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC, THE CAR DISPLAYS A WARNING MESSAGE SAYING THAT ONE SHOULD STEP ON THE BREAK WHILE ON THE STEEP INCLINE. SO INSTEAD OF MOVING UP THE HILL AT A LOW STEADY SPEED USING THE ACCELERATOR, I MUST APPLY THE BREAK AND STOP THE CAR ON THE HILL, WAIT FOR A GAP, ACCELERATE TO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, AND THEN STOP AGAIN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE CAR LURCHES AND SHAKES WHILE MAKING LOUD CLANKING SOUNDS (SIMILAR TO THE SOUND YOU MIGHT HEAR BEFORE YOUR CAR STALLS OUT IF YOU'RE NOT VERY GOOD AT DRIVING A STICK SHIFT). AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINS IN TRAFFIC ON THE INCLINE, ONE CAN SMELL AN THE BURNING ODOR AND TWO OUT OF THREE TIMES ANOTHER WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THE DISPLAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS OVERHEATING AND THAT I SHOULD PULL OVER IMMEDIATELY. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE HAD TO DO THREE TIMES IN THE LAST FOUR WEEKS. BESIDES THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING AND LURCHING ON INCLINES, THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS ACCELERATION ISSUES ON FLAT GROUND. FOR EXAMPLE, AFTER BEING STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS BUT THE CAR BARELY MOVES, THE RPMS BEGIN TO INCREASE AS I APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO GET IT MOVING, AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IN CLICKS AND JERKS IN TO GEAR SPEEDING AWAY. THIS PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTING WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKILY NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED YET. THE DELAYED ACCELERATION ALSO OCCURS AS I DRIVE UP MY PARKING GARAGE, AS THE CAR SLOWLY MOVES ALONG THE ACCELERATOR HAS NO AFFECT UNTIL SUDDENLY THE CAR QUICKLY ACCELERATES TO AN UNSAFE SPEED IN THE TIGHT PARKING STRUCTURE, AGAIN LUCKILY NO PEDESTRIANS HAVE BEEN INJURED YET DUE TO THE MALFUNCTIONING VEHICLE.

I'VE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR HESITATING AND STALLING SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2017. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THEY DID 2 SERVICE RECALL REPAIRS ON IT BUT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE ISSUE CONTINUED TO HAPPEN SO I TRIED FIRST HYUNDAI IN NORTH ATTLEBORO. THEY TOLD ME THEY ALSO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT RESET ENGINE ADAPTIVE VALUES AND TRANSMISSION ADAPTIVE VALUES AND TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT.. TODAY I TRIED TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE, THEN IT STARTED BUCK AND TO SMELL LIKE SOMETHING WAS BURNING. A SHORT DISTANCE UP THE HIGHWAY THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT AND WOULDN'T DRIVE. I WAS LEFT STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY FOR OVER AN HOUR WHILE WAITING FOR A TOW TRUCK.

WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM GEAR 2 TO 1.THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THE CITY STREET OR WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED WRECKS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MACHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THIS AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT IN FEAR OF A CRASH UNTIL FIND OUT IF THIS IS THE SAME RECALL FROM OTHER 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TRANSMISSION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAYBE. APPRECIATE YOUR HELP.

TRANSMISSION COMPUTER RESET RECALL - PURCHASED THE CAR IN JUNE 13, 2016. DROVE IT TO L.A. A FEW WEEKS AND NOTICED ACCELRATION WOULD BECOME HESITANT IN TRAFFIC AFTER 15-20 MINS IN SLOWER TRAFFIC. PROBLEM WAS VERY PRONOUNCED IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OF 15-20 TRAVEL TIMES. SO, TRIED TO GIVE ENOUGH SPACE IN BETWEEN ME AND CAR AHEAD SO THAT I WOULDN'T RIDE BRAKE OR INCH FORWARD. AT SCHEDULED SERVICES INFORMED SERVICE TECH ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD TAKE A LOOK. THERE WAS A RECALL CAMPAIGN THAT ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE AND COMPUTER RESET TO HANDLE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM.IN MARCH/APRIL 2017. STILL NOTICED THE HESITATION PROBLEM AND NOTED THIS TO TECH AT SERVICE APPOINTMENTS. OCT 8, 3 SISTERS AND NIECE WENT TO APPLE HILL AND AFTER 35 MINS GOING UPHILL ON STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON WINDY ROAD, TRANSMISSION OVER HEATED AND COMPUTER DASHBOARD ALERTED ME TO PULL OVER SAFELY . I PULLED CAR OVER TO ABLE APPLE ACRES FARM AND WE LET TRANSMISSION COOL FOR ABOUT 45 MINS. WHEN WE GOT OUT THE CAR IT SMELLED HORRIBLE LIKE BURNT CLUTCH SMELL. WE GOT BACK IN STARTED IT UP AND WAS GOING TO GO UP THE HILL A MILE. IMMEDIATELY BURNT CLUTCH SMELL WAS EVIDENT AFTER 3-4 MINUTES AND CAR WAS HESITANT AND LURCHING FORWARD WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS. LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. THAT WHEN WE ALL NOTICED THE SHUDDERING FEELING WHEN I WOULD LET OF THE BRAKE TO GIVE IT GAS AS THE CAR WOULD ROLL BACK SLIGHTLY BEFORE THE GEAR ENGAGED. LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO STALL OUT LIKE IN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION CAR. VERY JERKY. SO, I MADE A TURN TO GO BACK DOWN THE HILL AND THE BRAKES WERE 2-4 SECONDS DELAYED. I FELT LIKE I WAS SLAMMING ON THEM. WE HEADED HOME AND THE FOLSOM OUTLETS TO LET THE TRANSMISSION COOL OF FOR A FEW HOURS. MADE SURE TO TURN OFF TRACTION AND ECO HOPING THAT WOULD HELP. TRAFFIC WAS BETTER AS IT APPEARS TRANSMISSION DOES LIKE STOP/GO SITUATIONS ON INCLINES OR LEVEL SURFACES.

WHILE STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK, I THEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TUCSON WON'T MOVE AND THE ENGINE REVS HIGH WITHOUT FORWARD PROGRESS. THIS IS A SLAM-DUNK SAFETY ISSUE, AND I EXPECT A RECALL WILL BE THE RESULT. IT TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS PLUS MOVING THE CAR INTO PARK AND BACK TO DRIVE BEFORE IT MOVED. ( ABOUT 30 SECONDS) ONCE THE CAR MOVED , I COULD SMELL THE CLUTCHES BURNING.

PURCHASED JANUARY 2016 - LIMITED AWD WITH FACTORY INSTALLED TOW HITCH. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED FLICKERING INTERIOR LIGHTS AND BOTH HEAD LIGHTS LEAKED, ONE SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED. LATER ON DEVELOPED HARD START UPS, SHIFTING AND ACCELERATION ISSUES. ALONG WITH INTERMITTING FRONT SAFETY SENSORS AND A GLITCHING CENTER CONSOLE/BACK UP CAMERA. 7,500 MILES IN THE AC STOPPED WORKING FROM FREEZING OVER. TOOK TO DEALER WHILE ON VACATION AND DISCOVERED A MELTED FUSE BOX COVER AND BURNT TOW HITCH/ECU WIRES WITH AN ABUNDANCE OF CORROSION. DEALERS COULD NO CONFIRM RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TOW HITCH HARNESS, CLAIMED IT WAS NOT FACTORY INSTALLED WHEN IT WAS FACTORY INSTALLED AND EVEN ON THE ORIGINAL WINDOW STICKER. WE CALLED HYUNDAI CORPORATE EVERYDAY FOR OVER A WEEK BEGGING FOR HELP WITH NO CALL BACKS. ROADSIDE WOULD NOT COVER A TOW TO THE SELLING DEALER. ENDED UP DRIVING OURSELVES AN HOUR SOUTH TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAITS FOR A HYUNDAI ENGINEER TO FLY IN AND LOOK AT IT. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS WIRING HARNESS IN OTHER MODELS, THE DEALER WASN'T EVEN ABLE TO ORDER A REPLACEMENT PART BECAUSE IT WAS DISCONTINUED. WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS CURRENTLY OUT FOR OUR CAR. WE CONSIDER THIS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE AS THE MELTING WIRES ARE A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD ALONG WITH THE UNRELIABLE TRANSMISSION AND SAFETY SENSORS.

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
