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.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The car occasionally exhibits the following behavior: 1.upon acceleration from a stop, the transmission seems to be in a gear higher than first, which then causes the motor to stall and lose power for one to three seconds before resuming acceleration. The loss of power puts the car in peril of being rear ended by vehicles following behind. 2.when in this state, moving the gearshift lever left to enter manual mode fails ' the transmission stays in drive despite several attempts to engage manual mode. 3.because the transmission never downshifts to lower gears, the car runs rough at slower speeds. 4.turning the car off and back on again restores it to normal operation until the errant behavior happens again on random, unpredictable occasions. This car is equipped with a turbo-charger. A factory recall to fix an accelerator hesitation improved, but did not eliminate, said hesitation.
