CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Tucson comes with a dual-clutch, 7-speed transmission. But Hyundai forgot to tell you about one key phrase – zero-move. That's right, an alarming number of owners have said their SUV wouldn't accelerate after a stop.
Turns out that's because the transmission's application logic has been stumbling all over itself. Hyundai recalled the issue in September 2016, but it's difficult to say if owners are out-of-the-woods, or if this is just a sign of things to come.

While driving, the driver seat adjusted causing my seat to move up to the steering wheel. At the time I was on the expressway. I was too terrified to scream, I had to pull over to catch my breathe before I could continue driving to get home. I took my car to Hyundai and the service man stated that it didn't happen when he drove it and that they didn't find anything wrong. I filed a complaint before and never heard anything back. The car seat still adjusts. I don't drive it as much now.
While I was driving on the expressway, my seat came forward bringing me to the steering wheel. Now when I drive I am always adjusting my seat because it still move forward on its own.
I'm the owner of a 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe that the engine started knocking and when I opened the hood car was on fire I looked like a movie car blow up bursting glass everywhere I almost died if I didn't stop to look at it.
"takata recall" -the transmission does not engage at the proper times. Headrests make your head bend so far foward your chin is almost touching your chest.
