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 LE

To begin all four doors window would not go down or come up, passenger door difficult to open. had driver side door fix 500.00 later. could not afford to fix the other 3.

Then noticed car making noises, check oil and no oil n dip stick. Never one warming light or anything, added oil and then my driver's side ac would not cool, passenger side cooling fine but only hot air on driver side. Checked freon and all was good, a couple weeks later car ticking again checked no oil. Went had oil change replaced all filters, 2 weeks later all the sudden loud ticking noise and decreased power, motor shot this car is ridiculous and there should be recall for all that is wrong with these cars. I have no warranty so either I spend thousands of dollars to repair or I'm just out a car, think it is bs that Hyundai won't stand behind their crap.

Hyundai of Hanford, CA was the worst dealers I ever worked with, they lied about when it would be fixed week after week, and this went on for 2 months. I will not recommend them to anyone and I will never go back there.
