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.

THERE APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION. WITH FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND GAS AND COASTING AT A VERY SLOW SPEED THE CAR JERKS AND ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION ISN'T GOING INTO GEAR. THIS ALSO OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHEN FIRST DEPRESSING THE GAS FROM A COMPLETE STOP, STALLING OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A COMPLAINT THEY HEAR FREQUENTLY. I HAVE NOTICED IF THE TEMPERATURES ARE OVER 90 THIS HAPPENS MORE FREQUENTLY. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IT HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
Electrical system, Service brakes, Sep 3, 2019
I MADE A COMPLAINT AGAINST THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOW IT IS ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE BRAKE REAR PASSENGER SIDE HAS BURNED. THE DEALERSHIP BLOCKED EM FROM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT TO REPAIR THE DEFECT. I WILL TRY AGAIN. THIS IS THE SECOND BURNING OF THE BRAKE LIGHT SYSTEM.

18,000 MILES ON CAR. COMING FROM A COMPLETE STOP CAR FAILS TO ACCELERATE UNTIL PRESSING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR FOR 5 SECONDS AND CAUSES SEVERE SAFETY CONCERNS WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. IT IS AS IF CAR IS STALLING OR SOMETHING IS SLIPPING. ALSO SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING CAR WILL STAY IN HIGH RPMS AND STICK THERE EVEN WHEN NOT ACCELERATING. NOTICEABLY MORE FOR BOTH ISSUES DURING HOTTER MONTHS. THIS HAS ALMOST CAUSED NUMEROUS WRECKS AND SEVERE SAFETY CONCERNS AS I DRIVE WITH AN INFANT IN MY CAR. THERE ARE 1,000S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THIS SAME ISSUE AND VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE ONE OF US IS KILLED.

CAR OFTEN (BUT NOT ALWAYS) HESITATES UP TO 3 OR MORE SECONDS WHEN PRESSING THE GAS FROM STANDING STOP. STILL LESS THAN 15,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN DOING THIS OVER THE LAST 1,000 MILES OR SO.

I LEASED A 2017 TUCSON INTENDING TO BUY AT THE END. OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, WITH ABOUT 29,000 MILES ON IT, I HAVE HAD SIX DIFFERENT OCCASIONS WHERE I PULL OUT ONTO MY BUSY 50 MPH ROAD AND THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. IT'S ALMOST AS IF IT HAD STALLED OR SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL, NO MATTER HOW SOFT OR HARD YOU STEP ON THE GAS. EACH OCCASION MY SON AND I HAVE COME WITHIN SECONDS OF BEING HIT BY DUMP TRUCKS, TRACTOR TRAILERS, OR OTHER ROADWAY VEHICLES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAYS IT'S THE DUAL CLUTCH SYSTEM, BUT CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG, THEY'VE RESET THE PARAMETERS TO FACTORY SETTINGS, BUT IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT TO MENTION THE AC JUST WENT ON IT OUT OF NOWHERE. I AM 16 MONTHS OUT FROM THE LEASE TERMINATION, AND FEEL SO UNSAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE FACT I HAVE COME WITHIN SECONDS OF GETTING REAR ENDED BY DUMP TRUCKS, THEN HAVING THE CAR BUCK FORWARD AND RED LINE. HANDFULS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOTHING WILL BE DONE TO ADDRESS THIS UNTIL A FAMILY OR PERSON WINDS UP SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DEAD. UNFORTUNATELY, MY HUSBAND AND I ARE AT A CROSSROADS DECIDING IF BREAKING THE LEASE WOULD BE BETTER THAN WINDING UP IN A COFFIN, EITHER WAY IT'LL COST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY ON OUR END.

THE CAR HESITATES UNDER ACCELERATION . IT WILL SOMETIMES SITS JUST INCHING ALONG FOR 2 OR 3 SECONDS THEN START ACCELERATING. YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. IT CAN GO A WEEK WITH NOTHING THAN WHEN YOU LAST EXPECT IT HAPPENS AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS I WONT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THE CAR.

THE REAR BRAKE LIGHT SOCKET BURNED. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS INSTALLED IMPROPERLY MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO REMOVE.

THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY ENGAGE PARTICULARLY FROM A STOPPED POSITION. I ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT WHEN COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A 4 LANE ROAD, I WAS TURNING LEFT. THERE WAS PLENTY OF TIME TO MAKE IT BUT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CAR ROLLED OUT ONTO THE ROAD BECAUSE I WAS ON A SMALL INCLINE AND NEARLY GOT HIT BY TRAFFIC AS THE ENGINE STRUGGLED TO ENGAGE. HYUNDAI IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT ACCORDING TO THEM THAT'S HOW THE CAR IS SUPPOSED TO WORK. IT IS A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FLAW THAT THEY ARE WELL AWARE OF AN NO LONGER USE THIS SYSTEM IN 2019 TUCSON. THEY KNOW IT'S A FLAW AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING TO ASSIST.

WE PURCHASED THIS 2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON NEW FROM DEALER. AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR ABOUT A YEAR, THE VEHICLE BEGAN DRAMATICALLY HESITATING WHEN STARTING FROM A STOP OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN THEN REAPPLYING THE ACCELERATOR. IT WILL ALSO RAPIDLY ACCELERATE AND JERKS FORWARD IN AN UNCONTROLLED MANNER. WE HAVE HAD IT TO DEALER TWICE, WHO STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE OBD CODES AND THEY COULDN'T TELL US WHAT WAS WRONG. THE MECHANIC, INITIALS J.F. AT HYUNDAI COOL SPRINGS IN NASHVILLE TN (PHONE: 615-814-6051) DROVE THE CAR HIMSELF AND WAS ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM TODAY, BUT STILL SAID THERE WAS NOTHING HE COULD DO TO FIX IT. HE PROVIDE THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE LINE WHICH I CALLED TO DETERMINE THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS ON THIS MODEL AT THIS TIME. NO OPTION TO SPEAK TO A HUMAN ON THE PHONE. AT THIS POINT I DO NOT FEEL THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER TO DRIVE UNTIL WE HAVE A RESOLUTION.

AT APPROXIMATELY 6:10 PM ON WEDNESDAY 8/7/19, I WAS ON AN OUTLYING ROAD TURNING ON A ROUNDABOUT, I HAD SLOWED TO APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH TO ENTER THE ROUNDABOUT AND WAS ACCELERATING TO EXIT IT, WHEN MY 2017 HYUNDAI TUSCON SPONTANEOUSLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. THE CAR SLOWED AND THE SCREENS WENT BLACK. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE IT STOPPED COMPLETELY AND TURN MY HAZARD LIGHTS ON. I WAITED A FEW SECONDS AND TRIED THE CAR, IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TURNED AROUND AND WENT HOME (8 MINUTE TRIP, ALONG OUTLYING ROADS) I AM UNSURE WHICH COMPONENT CAUSED THE MALFUNCTION THAT CAUSED MY CAR TO SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF.

FROM STOP TO 30 MPH INTERMITTENT HESITATION. DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO MERGE FOR DON'T KNOW IF CAR WILL MOVE OR NOT. IT 'BUCKS' FROM START TO ACCELERATION INTERMITTENTLY. FROM LOW SPEED TO TRY TO ACCELERATE DOESN'T ALWAYS WANT TO ACCELERATE. DUAL CLUTCH SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM AND MAYBE SOMETHING ELSE. HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOTHING TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM, JUST 'LIVE WITH IT'. WOULD THEY LIKE THEIR TEENAGER DRIVING SUCH A CAR?? SOME TIMES CAR LURCHES FORWARD TOO INSTEAD OF HESITATION. GAS MILEAGE TERRIBLE TOO. NOT GETTING WHAT THEY SAID, 18-20 MPH, ONCE IN AWHILE 25 OR 30.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM BEING STOPPED AT A LIGHT, STOP SIGN, ETC. THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS BEFORE MOVING. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE LANES OR MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY THERE IS A DELAY. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 1.5 YEARS (ORIGINAL OWNER). THESE ISSUES STARTED APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO.

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.

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.

MY HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS ALMOST 30,000 MILES ON IT. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO WE BEGAN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH DELAYED ACCELERATION. WE WERE DRIVING NORMALLY THROUGH TOWN AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I PRESSED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN AND STILL NOTHING HAPPENED. THE ENGINE DID NOT REV OR ANYTHING, SUDDENLY AFTER 3-5 SECONDS THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AND BEGAN ACCELERATING. THIS HAPPENED DOZENS OF TIMES.I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS I COULD. AFTER A DAY WITH THE VEHICLE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. AFTER GETTING THE CAR BACK AND DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE ISSUE RETURNED. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER KEPT THE CAR FOR 3 DAYS AND DROVE IT ABOUT 80 MILES OVER THOSE THREE DAYS AND SAID THE PROBLEM NEVER HAPPENED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT. THE FAILURE TO ACCELERATE HAPPENS SPORADICALLY. SOME DAYS IT WILL DRIVE FINE AND OTHER DAYS IT WILL HAVE THE ISSUE THE WHOLE TIME I'M DRIVING IT. WE HAVE ALSO HAD A FEW INSTANCES OF THE VEHICLE SHIFTING INCORRECTLY AND OVER REVVING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ACCELERATION ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND ALREADY ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET T-BONED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT'S NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY.

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT MY HYUNDAI TUCSON, HOWEVER THE TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE HORRIBLE. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP, YOU HAVE TO FEATHER THE GAS PEDAL TO TAKE OFF, OTHERWISE THE TRANSMISSION WILL SLIP DURING TAKE OFF. DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC (STOP AND GO) MAKES THE DRIVE FEEL LIKE I AM DRIVING A STICK SHIFT, MEANING THE TRANSMISSION FEELS JERKY. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND FOR ME IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

N JUNE 24, 2019 I DISCOVERED MY VEHICLE WAS CYBER CONTROL HACKED.. MYSTERIOUS RADIO CODE, INTERFERENCE WITH SIRIUS RADIO SIGNAL, CHANNELS KEPT CHANGING, CANNOT CONTROL VOLUME, DISCOVERED AN ALIEN IPHONE CONNECTED TO BLUE TOOTH, MALICIOUS LINK APPEARED ON 6/11/19 WHEN RADIO WAS TAKEN DOWN TO MANUFACTURING SETTINGS. SPORADIC CONSTANT ISSUES, AC FAN JUST STOPS, CAR DOES NOT TURN OFF, AND CAR HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP. I DECIDED TO CHECK OUT THE CONSOLE AREA OF THE SIRIUS RADIO. . THAT IS WHEN I DISCOVERED AN ILLEGAL ANDROID PHONE CONNECTION, AN IMEI NUMBER, ROGUE FIRMWARE AND WIFI, A GOOGLE POWERED REPORTS TO..., A MAP THAT DOES NOT TURN OFF, 2 MAPS PROGRAMMED ON STEERING WHEEL CONSOLE. 10-15 CONSOLE ICONS WERE DISABLED, I THEN DISCOVERED WHEN GOING TO HYUNDAI ON LINE I HAD AN ACCOUNT EITHER SET UP BY HYUNDAI OR THE HACKERS IN MY NAME I COULD NOT ACCESS. IT TOOK THE DEALERSHIP ASSISTANCE FOR ME TO GET IN. I DISCOVERED AN OUT DATED PHONE NUMBER AND 2 ID THEFT WARNINGS FROM 4/19 I NEVER RECEIVED, THE BLUE LINK I HAVE ELECTED BUT NEVER DOWNLOADED THE APP FOR REMOTE CONTROL WAS ENABLED AND HAD A HISTORY OF MANY VOICE COMMANDS. I TRIED TO FILE A POLICE REPORT AT OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT, MICHIGAN. THEY DID NOT HAVE THE FORENSICS CAPABILITY TO DIAGNOSE AND REFUSED THE REPORT. ON 6/ 25/19 I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED MY VEHICLE FROM, ELDER HYUNDAI OF MACOMB, MICHIGAN. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS DISMISSIVE AND STARTED TURNING OFF ICONS, COMPROMISING EVIDENCE, HE TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AFTER MANY OBJECTIONS BY ME. THE CAR HAS SAT IN MY DRIVEWAY SINCE 6/26/19 AS I AM DEATHLY AFRAID OF USING IT CAUSE INJURY AND DEATH TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I DID FILE AN ONLINE REPORT WITH HYUNDAI USA ON 6/26/19. THEY HAVE ONLY REQUESTED THE IMEI NUMBER TO TRACE THE CELL PHONE NUMBER. HYUNDAI AND HACKER ARE LIABLE FOR MY SAFETY. *JS

AFTER A STOP, INITIATING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE DOES NOT ACCELERATE, THE TACHOMETER RACES, BUT THERE IS NO ENGAGEMENT. AFTER A LONG PAUSE, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES AND THE CAR JERKS FORWARD. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, OCCURRING AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR MORE THAN A YEAR. HYUNDAI SERVICE DENIED THERE WAS A PROBLEM ON MULTIPLE VISITS BEFORE FINALLY ADMITTING THE DUAL CLUTCH WAS FAULTY. CLUTCH REPLACED, PROBLEM PERSISTS, AND THEY CLAIM THERE IS NOTHING FURTHER THEY CAN DO.

WHEN TRYING TO TURN OFF THE TUCSON (VEHICLE HAS PUSH BUTTON START) TO REFILL THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE DIDN'T TURN OFF. WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON, IT RESTARTED AGAIN THE ENGINE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS TURNED ON IN THE DASHBOARD AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY WITH RPM'S AROUND 500 RPM. SOME SECONDS LATER THE ENGINE RPM STABILIZED (NORMAL IDLE). I PRESSED THE PUSH BUTTON AGAIN AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF SUCCESSFULLY. WENT TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. NO CHANGES WERE MADE TO THE CAR.

THERE HAVE BEEN COUNTLESS TIMES, THAT OUR 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS HAD TROUBLE ACCELERATING IN LOW GEAR, WHETHER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM A SLOW SPEED (5-10MPH). MOST OFTEN TIMES, WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE TO ACCELERATE IT IS VERY DELAYED, ALMOST NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE FOR ABOUT 5 SECONDS, AND THEN IT IS VERY JERKY GETTING INTO GEAR AT THAT POINT. I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF THIS WHEN MY WIFE AND I CAME EXTREMELY CLOSE TO GETTING REAR ENDED (THE VEHICLE BEHIND US CAME SCREECHING TO A HALT) AS THERE WAS NO ACCELERATION RESPONSE WHEN I PULLED ONTO A 50MPH ROAD AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. THE 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THIS ACCELERATION ISSUE IS FIXED. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND SEEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS SAME EXACT CAR. FURTHER, HYUNDAI HAD A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON THE 2016 MODEL, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE FOR THE 2017'S. I IMPLORE THE NHTSA AND HYUNDAI TO MAKE THIS A RECALL! DO THE RIGHT THING FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS HYUNDAI AND SAVE PEOPLE FROM SOME BAD ACCIDENTS AND POTENTIAL LOSS OF LIFE.

TRANSMISSION FAILS TO ENGAGE ON SOME OCCASIONS WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP OR ACCELERATING INTO A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION. ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT KNOW WHAT GEAR TO ENGAGE. DANGEROUS WHEN ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN AS YOU STALL PART WAY THRU THE TURN. HAVE HAD CAR BACK TO DEALER TWICE AND THEY CLAIM NO PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS INVESTIGATING AS I SEE MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON YOUR WEBSITE AND OTHER INTERNET SITES.
