EngineSep 17, 2021
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain 2017 Tucson and Sonata Hybrid vehicles. The connecting rod bearings inside the engine may wear prematurely, which can result in engine damage.
A damaged engine can increase the risk of a fire or it can cause an engine stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the engine. If bearing damage is found, the engine will be replaced. Dealers will also install a software update containing a new Knock Sensor Detection System (KSDS). Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners were notified of the defect on November 16, 2021. Owner notification letters were mailed January 15, 2022. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 209.

Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) recalled certain 2019-2021 Tucson vehicles on September 4, 2020. On December 30, 2020, Hyundai expanded the recall population, and added certain 2016-2018 Tucson vehicles. The Anti-lock Brake Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit (HECU) could corrode internally and cause an electrical short, possibly resulting in an engine compartment fire.
An engine compartment fire can increase the risk of injury or crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HECU fuse. For 2019-2021 model years, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) software will also be updated. Recall repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners are advised to park outside and away from structures as a precaution until the recall repair is complete. The recall began November 2, 2020. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-855-371-9460. Hyundai's number for this recall is 195.

Electrical system, wiringNov 21, 2016
Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Tucson vehicles manufactured May 19, 2015, to November 14, 2016, and 2017 Santa Fe vehicles manufactured November 28, 2015, to November 14, 2016. The affected vehicles may be equipped with an accessory trailer hitch wiring harness that, due to a malfunction of the tow hitch module, may result, in the trailer brake lights being constantly illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108, " Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
If the trailer brake lights stay illuminated while being used, other drivers may be confused, increasing the risk of a crash.
Hyundai will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected accessory trailer hitch wiring harnesses, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 13, 2017. Owners may contact Hyundai customer service at 1-800-633-5151. Hyundai's number for this recall is 153.

WHEN I MAKE A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, JOINING TRAFFIC, I PRESS ACCELERATION AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING... I MAY EVEN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, ENGINE ROARS AT 5-6K AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL OR MOVES EXTREMELY SLOWLY... I WATCH THE CARDS APPROACHING FROM THE BACK AND START TO PRAY... I BARELY ESCAPED FEW ACCIDENT SITUATIONS BECAUSE THE APPROACHING DRIVERS WERE CAUTIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG GOING ON WITH MY CAR, NOT MOVING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT, ACCORDING TO OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS, THE ISSUE SEEMS LIKELY TO BE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), LATER RENAMED TO "AUTOMATED MANUAL", WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE IN MY TUCSON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES. ON ONE OCCASION, IN A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE TWICE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INSURANCE BODY SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SEVEN SPEED DUAL CLUTCH ASSEMBLY PERTAINING TO THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO OPERATE PROPERLY. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE DID NOT GAIN SPEED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A LIGHT. DOWNEY HYUNDAI (7550 FIRESTONE BLVD, DOWNEY, CA 90241, (562) 314-4331) WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN AND WAS STILL WITH THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND HAD NOT ISSUED ANY TRANSMISSION RECALLS. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE. *TT CONSUMER STATED TRANSMISSION DOESN'T WORK WHEN GETTING ON FREEWAY.*JB

SOMETHING IS MAJORLY WRONG WITH HOW THIS VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS. WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN, OR DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T DOWN SHIFT PROPERLY, CAUSING A TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE AND AN OVER REVVING OF THE ENGINE, WHICH RESULTS IN A DELAY IN ACCELERATION. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN TRYING TO MERGE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE TRIED TO TURN ONTO A STREET OR HIGHWAY AND NEARLY BEEN REAR ENDED OR T-BONED BECAUSE OF MY VEHICLE STALLING FOR NO REASON, LEAVING ME FLOUNDERING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET UNTIL THE VEHICLE DECIDED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND RESUME ACCELERATION. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED, FOR IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THAT HAPPENS, PROVIDED IT HASN'T ALREADY OCCURRED. IN FACT, I GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT THE OTHER DAY WHILE MERGING ONTO A FRONTAGE ROAD NEXT TO AN INTERSTATE, AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS STALLING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE IS TO BLAME. PLEASE TAKE THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY AS IT APPEARS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THEIR 2017 TUSCONS AS WELL. THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT OCCURS EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. EVERY DAY.

WHILE DRIVING I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I BEGIN TO ACCELERATE AFTER A COMPLETE STOP MY CAR JERKS FORWARD AND DOESN'T CATCH. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE STALLS BEFORE MOVING FORWARD, THIS HAPPENS WHEN MOVING FORWARD OR REVERSING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET A RESPONSE TO THE ISSUE FROM THE DEALERSHIP THOUGH I'VE LET THEM KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INTERSECTION, THE GEAR SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTED VARIOUS TIMES AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER (KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI, 4797 CONVOY ST, SAN DIEGO, CA 92111, (858) 278-7100) TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID. *DT CONSUMER STATED SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN 2015 RECALL HAPPENED IN 2016. MANUFACTURER IS NOT ACCEPTING RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. *JB
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Dec 13, 2018
MY VEHICLE SEEMS TO STALL/HESITATE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A FULL STOP. I HAVE THE 1.6 TURBO AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WHICH I UNDERSTAND HAS A SOFTWARE GLITCH THAT CAN DELAY ACCELERATION FROM WHEN THE CAR IS STATIONARY. THIS OCCURS QUITE OFTEN WHEN PROCEEDING WHEN LIGHT TURNS GREEN--DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN & IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION MULTIPLE TIMES WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. BROUGHT CAR TO DEALER W/COMPLAINT BUT THEY DID NOT MAKE ANY ADJUSTMENTS OR CORRECTIONS. TOLD ME TO "LIVE WITH IT." UNACCEPTABLE! PLEASE HELP.

TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND ATTEMPTED TO TURN LEFT. WHILE DOING SO, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE TO MY LANE, CAUSING BRIEF PANIC SINCE I WAS IN THE VEHICLE WITH MY BABY AND A FREIGHTLINER WAS NOW APPROACHING. THE VEHICLE RESPONDED IN THE SAME MANNER WHILE MY HUSBAND DROVE IT SEVERAL DAYS LATER. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A HORRENDOUS SMELL COMING FROM THE VEHICLE AS WE TRAVELED IN TRAFFIC AT ABOUT 3MPH OR LESS. MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ON EDGE AND JUST WANTED TO GET HOME SAFELY WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ISSUES WITH THE TUCSON. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM HYUNDAI OF LONGVIEW ON NOVEMBER 29, 2017.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON SINCE 10/20/17. IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP 3X FOR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. TWICE MY VEHICLE HAD PERFORMANCE ISSUES WHILE ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND ACCELERATION. IT IS LIFE ENDANGERING. WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE LOSES SPEED. THE RPM GAUGE STARTS GOING WACKY, OFF THE CHARTS. IT WILL REV TO 5 RPM BACK DOWN TO 3 RPM AND BACK & FORTH. WHEN THE FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDDLE TRYING TO INCREASE TO HIGHWAY SPEED, THE ENGINE WILL GO TO 45 MPH. WHEN ONE A HIGHWAY WHERE THE SPEED LIMIT IS 70 MPH, IT BECOMES LIFE THREATENING. WHEN I FINALLY REACHED A SPEED OF 70, IT WOULD GO FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN DECREASE TO 50 MPH. VERY SCARY. TWICE IT WAS IN SERVICE FOR THE SAME PERFORMANCE ISSUE . THE 2ND TIME THEY REPLACED BOOST SENSOR RANGE. IT WORKS OK NOW. HOWEVER, THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION IS HARD AND SEEMS TO SHIFT IMPROPERLY. IT TOO IS TIED TO THE ACCELERATION. HYUNDAI THAT IS THE NATURAL PERFORMANCE ON THE ENGINE & TRANSMISSION. THE LAST CHECK ENGINE WAS AN ALTERNATOR FAILURE. I HAVE OWNED 3 HYUNDAI'S. I HAVE HELPED MY DAUGHTER BUY HER 2 HYUNDAI'S. MY MOTHER AS WELL. I HAVE NEVER SEEN THESE KIND OF ISSUES. ALSO THE NATURAL HYDRAULIC CLOSING ON THE BACK DOOR IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD. ONE DAY THE DOOR STARTED CLOSING WHILE MY BODY WAS HALF INSIDE. THERE SHOULD BE A SENSOR TO DETECT WHEN THERE IS AN OBJECT IN THE WAY. THAT TOO IS CAUSED FOR ALARM IN SAFETY. THESE 2 ISSUES THAT I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT CAN & WILL CAUSE DEATH.

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.

SOMETIMES ACCELERATION PEDAL IS UNRESPONSIVE EVEN HALF WAY PRESSED. USUALLY IT HAPPENS ON LOW SPEEDS. IT ALREADY MEDE ME MOVING MUCH SLOWER THAN I SHOULD. IF I PRESS IT FURTHER IT MIGHT SUDDENLY START WORKING BUT IT APPLIES TOO MUCH ACCELERATION SINCE IT WAS PRESSED TOO HARD AT THAT POINT. DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT WHEN YOU LOOSE CONTROL OVER VEHICLE, IT'S CRITICAL. CONDITIONS WHEN IT HAPPENED: IN MOTION: LOW SPEED, TURNING, CITY STREET. HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SO I CONFIDENT IT'S NOT ONE-TIME ISSUE.
Vehicle speed control, Engine, Oct 5, 2018
I AM EXPERIENCING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE'S ACCELERATION FROM A STOP WHICH IS WORSENING OVER TIME. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW IN SEPTEMBER 2017. I ROUTINELY EXPERIENCE A SEVERE LAG IN ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, CAUSING JERKY MOVEMENTS AND SOMETIMES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. I DO NOT FEEL AS IF THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE ON A DAILY BASIS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR LOOKED AT BY HYUNDAI TECHNICIANS IN MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE REPORTED THAT THERE ARE NO ISSUES THEY CAN IDENTIFY AND THE CAR IS OPERATING AS IT WAS BUILT TO. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY AND THEY HAVE TOLD ME TO CONTACT HYUNDAI'S CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT. I HAVE INITIATED A TICKET WITH CONSUMER AFFAIRS.

THE 2017 TUCSON SPORT HAS THE 1.6 TURBO WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, ONE NEVER KNOWS IF THE CAR WILL RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL AND ACCELERATE OR JUST STUMBLE ALONG. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, AND THERE IS A RECALL OR SIMILAR FOR THE 2016 WITH NHTSA. THE DEALERSHIP (KEARNY MESA HYUNDAI, SAN DIEGO) TELLS US THAT "THEY ALL DO THAT" WHEN WE TOOK IT IN FOR SAFETY CONCERNS AND REPAIR. ANY SUBSEQUENT REQUESTS FOR REPAIR WERE MET WITH "IT WILL COST YOU 150 DOLLARS TO CHECK IT OUT IF IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS BEFORE WITH NO SOLUTION". THIS CAR IS A DANGER TO US AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. IT ALSO TENDS TO GO INTO SOME SORT OF LEAF BLOWER MODE SOMETIMES WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES, WHERE THE REVS SOAR BUT IT DOESN'T ACT LIKE IT DOWNSHIFTED. THIS IS NOT A MIXUP IN BRAKE/GAS PEDAL USAGE, LIKE THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WEVE ALL READ ABOUT WITH OTHER BRANDS. THE DCT HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN AND IS A HAZARD ON THE ROAD. THE PROBLEMS ARE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, AND IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWHERE, AT RANDOM, HIGHWAY, FREEWAY, PULLING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY... ANYWHERE. PLEASE HELP GET THESE DANGEROUS CARS OFF THE ROAD. NOT SURE WHAT DOCUMENTATION YOU WANT, BUT THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND WAS BOUGHT IN AUG 2017. CARS WITH THIS ENGINE/TRANS ARE STILL FOR SALE IN THE SHOWROOMS NATIONWIDE, A KNOWN DANGER TO ALL CONCERNED. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MGR HAS TOLD US HOW THERE ARE A LOT OF UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS OUT THERE WITH 1.6 TURBO/DCT DRIVETRAINS, AND YET THEY ARE SELLING MORE BY THE DAY. YET THERE IS NO SUPPORT OTHER THAN THE ONE TIME ATTEMPT AND "THEY ALL DO THAT". HELP.

UPON PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM A COMPLETE STOP, OR WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS (LESS THAN 20 MPH), VEHICLE HESITATES TO ACCELERATE FOR 2 TO 3 SECONDS. AFTER THE 2 OR 3 SECOND PAUSE, CAR FINALLY ACCELERATES WITH VERY HIGH RPM'S.
Power train, Vehicle speed control, Sep 21, 2018
TUCSON WITH DCT ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY AFTER COMING TO A STOP, BASICALLY UNRESPONSIVE FOR A COUPLE SECONDS. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME IN CITY DRIVING NO MATTER WHAT DIRECTION I GO AFTER THE STOP. I NOTICED THIS VEHICLE STAYS IN 2ND GEAR UNLESS IT COMES TO A COMPLETE STOP FOR A FULL SECOND. ANYTHING LESS THAN THAT AND THE CAR STAYS IN 2ND GEAR AND THEN LAGS AND STUTTERS WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS PRESSED. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE BUT A VEHICLE THAT DOESN'T DOWNSHIFT TO 1ST GEAR WHEN BASICALLY STOPPED MIGHT BE AN ISSUE.

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Jul 24, 2018
I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A LACK OF ACCELERATION NUMEROUS TIMES AS I'M TRYING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALSO AS I TRY TO ACCELERATE FROM A STATIONARY POSITION WAITING FOR A LIGHT AND CHANGING LANES ALSO. THREE MONTHS AGO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND I TOLD THEM OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CHECK IT. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR I WAS TOLD THAT A RESET WAS DONE TO THE COMPUTER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I HAVE BEEN IN CLOSE CALLS NUMEROUS TIMES AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE FOR MYSELF OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THIS CONDITION. I WILL BE TAKING THE SUV TO DEALER AGAIN THIS WEEKEND TO HAVE THEM CHECK IT AGAIN. I HOPE THAT A RECALL HAPPENS BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A FATAL ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. SUV HAS 19500 MILES.

WHILE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN, IN MOTION ON A STREET AND NEEDING TO ACCELERATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING A TURN, OFTEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WILL SEEM TO STALL OR FALTER WHEN BEING DEPRESSED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SLOW, THEN THE PEDAL CONTINUES DOWNWARD AND THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. HYUNDAI SERVICE ADVISOR ON JULY 6, 2018 POLITELY SAID "ALL TUCSON TURBO MODELS DO THIS, NO PROBLEM". TO ME THIS IS SCARY. DOES NHTSA THINK LIKEWISE AND COULD THERE BE A SAFETY ISSUE?

MY HYUNDAI TUCSON CAR HESITATE TO START FROM THE SIGNAL LIGHT. I.E IT TOOK AROUND 2 TO 3 SECONDS TO ACCELERATE [I END UP IN APPLYING GAS PEDAL HARDLY TO GET THE MOVE FROM LIGHT ] AND THIS HAD HAPPENED FOR 4 TIMES SO FAR FROM 2017 JULY TO NOW. WHEN I CHECK WITH HYUNDAI SERVICE DEALERS ON THIS PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO CHECK IT COMPLETELY AND FOR THAT THEY WOULD CHARGE ME FOR "VEHICLE INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSE" :( , I'M NOT READY TO AFFORD AS THIS IS NOT HAPPENING OFTEN.

MY HYUNDAI TUCSON HESITATES WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT FEELS AS THOUGH SOMEONE IS HOLDING DOWN THE BRAKE AS I AM TRYING TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR WILL GET THIS BURST OF ENERGY AND ACCELERATE FORWARD. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHILE TRYING TO TAKE A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION OR PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE AND HYUNDAI DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS WHEN BRINGING MY CAR IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE VISITS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. I HAVE HAD ZERO LUCK WITH ISSUE BEING RESOLVED.

JUST MISSED HITTING ANOTHER CAR TODAY ON ROUTE 128. THIS IS A ON GOING PROBLEM. SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL ALL OF A SUDDEN SPEED UP. I FEEL VERY UNSAFE.
