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.

Tucson SE Limited Accord. To VIN, Not ?

There is a clunking sound coming from rear passenger seat/door frame area. Happens majority of times going over bumps and a lot just driving down the road too. I've taken it in multiple times and no one can fix it. (Authorized Hyundai service centers)

Tucson Limited 1.6t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 300 miles

Since 300 miles this car has had a clunking noise coming from the back passenger side, when it seems like shifting from 1st to 2nd gear... usually happens prior to hitting 20 miles per hour. I have brought to dealer several times and they say that because it's not loud enough but that they hear it, its to hard to try and diagnose the issue. I am to keep driving it that way and deal with it.. I know have 13000 miles on this car and this isn't my first complaint on here of this car. The noise is much louder and they say to bad deal with it still.. Now I see another complaint about the same thing.. Hyundai is the worst company ever and wont fix or correct every ones issues.. Check out other sites like Edmunds and see all the complaints there. I was hesitant on buying this car and I knew I shouldn't have!

Tucson Limited 1.6L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,000 miles

I have had my brand new 2016 Tucson in 4 times in a months time for the same noise coming from the rear passenger back end, and have been told that they have heard the noise but can not find where it is coming from, so today I am picking my car up once again and was told they hope it gets worse so they can find a solution.
