My wife and I bought this 2017 Hyundai Tucson Limited with the 1.6 liter turbo and the 7 speed dual clutch car. We love the look of the car and the interior layout. But we’ve only had the car for a year and a half and it’s giving us nothing but problems. Starting with using to much oil. which lead to us having to replace the valves and timing chain. And directly after doing this work it still isn’t running right it has a hesitation offer the stop and starts. We’re are finding out that this is a transmission problem so now I need to take to the dealership so they can tell me that it’s not there fault and that my car is not covered on any recalls and I have to pay them way to much money to possibly fix or not fix this issue. My wife is furious and vows to never buy a Hyundai again because there lack of concern with the car they built that has to many problems. I’m frustrated with this whole process. What should I do?

I bought this vehicle 2 years ago on March 11, 2020, and there was nothing wrong with this vehicle when I bought it. Slowly over time I started to notice, popping noise in the rear end of the vehicle all the time when I would back up and then pull forward. I have had this vehicle in the shop 4 times to diagnose the problem and they cannot hear anything. Now my 2017 Hyundai Tucson SUV AWD Sport 1.6 L Turbo, is jerking bad when I accelerate and if it goes below one RPM it acts like it's going to stall, but doesn't, like its hesitating to go, and then it accelerates. I want to know if this car can be under the Lemon Law for the state of Washington. I am taking it in to an auto mechanic to see what's going on with this vehicle. The jerking at acceleration and popping in the rear of the vehicle going from reverse to drive.

Since I purchased my 2017 Tucson new in April 2017 there has been a consistent delay in acceleration and the vehicle stutters whenever I slowly press the accelerator pedal to accelerate from a stop or when increasing speed while moving slowly. Pressing the accelerator also results in the engine RPM's increasing and delayed acceleration of the vehicle. This has caused a dangerous situation on more than one occasion. At almost every scheduled service visit I tell the Hyundai service representative about the problem and am always told that it is simply a turbo lag. I recently received a recall brochure regarding dual clutch transmission problems for the 2016 and 2017 Tucson. When I brought my vehicle to the dealer in response to this I was told my vehicle was not a part of the recall. I am and have been experiencing some of the issues listed in the brochure, so I don't understand why my vehicle would be excluded.

So I purchased my 2017 Hyundai Tucson used in November 2019 with only 14,000 miles. I was super excited about getting it because my current vehicle, 2010 Hyundai Tucson had 265,000 miles on it and was the best vehicle I've ever owned! I even passed it down to my brother and it still runs great! I bought my 2017 from a Chevy dealer and there was never any mention of the dual clutch. I only found out about it after researching why the car would stall and then jet forward almost feeling like it could go out of control. Unfortunately Hyundai claims no issues or takes any responsibility and I've contacted them twice to no avail.

This vehicle is NOT SAFE and is DANGEROUS to drive in snowy weather because of the horrible way it stalls and then jets forward. I would never allow an inexperienced driver to ever drive this vehicle. It is extremely disappointing that Hyundai has no concern for customer safety and there have been multiple complaints about this issue especially on the 2016 model. I WAS a totally loyal Hyundai customer but no more. I will never buy another Hyundai again. That's sad because I love everything else about the car. So I'm paying for a car that I won't nothing more than to get rid of as soon as possible. ☹️

I CANNOT BELIEVE I WAS SO STUPID BUYING A KOREAN CAR!!

My 2017 Hyundai Tucson SE is a 2WD automatic with 59K miles (bought it used at about 35K). Not sure of the exact engine, but it's the smallest, most affordable one. I'm young and had my parents help me buy this car and it was driving great! All the services and maintenance stuff was cheap, it drove like a dream, and I got great gas mileage! and I still do. I have only very recently delved into the world of cars and realized how much of a lie is being sold to consumers. I am much more knowledgeable now and figured out pretty much every car brand sucks besides Toyota/Lexus and Honda, and now I'm stuck with a car I would've NEVER bought if I had the knowledge I do now. But I digress...

I realized, as this always goes, that "somehow" RIGHT AFTER my warranty expired from the dealership that when I would try to speed up to merge onto highways from slower roads or accelerate quickly from a stop that there was high revving (sounded like the engine was dying lol) and hesitation. It still happens but it doesn't happen every time. I'm worried 1) because there's no fix for this as far as I can tell from forums and such and I know the dealerships won't help 2) is it going to get worse and more frequent??? At first I assumed it happened because "oh its a 4 cylinder carrying an SUV so it's just lagging because it's not a sports car". Now I'm definitely second guessing that!

I am hoping that since it has lasted to almost 60K miles and has had no other problems that I can keep this thing for a while longer. I really have no money to afford a new car. Anyway, moral of the story is : DO NOT BUY KOREAN (ESPECIALLY 2016/ 2017 TUCSONS) CARS - THEY ARE TERRIBLE. DO YOUR RESEARCH AND TAKE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WITH YOU WHENEVER YOU PLAN TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR!

The Hyundai Tucson is an extremely popular vehicle, so I figured I would buy one with very low miles on it so I would not have any problems - WRONG!!! I purchased this Tucson during very cold weather. Now, as others have stated, they are experiencing this problem during warm weather. This is the first day today where it got to 55 degrees, and I'm having the same hesitation from a dead start while making a left turn as other drivers have posted.

I like the car, but this situation is totally unacceptable! It sounds like other drivers already have taken their Tucson to the dealer, and have had no answer to solve the problem. With a 10 year or 100k warranty, someone from Hyundai needs to step up and fix this situation.

The DCT transmission completely disengages and there is NO power to the vehicle, it just coasts for about 5 seconds and the vehicles slows down. It seems to happen after a turn from a stop, and at slower speeds around 25 - 35 MPH. You push the gas pedal and nothing happens, the engine does not rev and you just coast (and slow down). If this happens when I’m pulling out in traffic making a left it could be deadly. I do not let my 19 year old son drive this vehicle. I promise you there will be accidents due to this defect and I would imagine some people will die because of it. This happens regularly, it is not a one-time incident. I just bought the vehicle a month ago and it's happened 10 to 20 times.

I know several other people who have had a problem starting their car from a stop. My two most recent problems was when I was at a traffic light completely stopped. When it was my turn to go, I put my foot down and nothing. Car did not move one inch. Decided to then lay the petal to the floor and after a second it began to creep along. Not until a solid 5 second later did the car begin to pick up speed. And by pick up speed i mean get to 5MPH then 10 MPH, then finally to 15MPH. Not only was this annoying but it was the first time i had dealt with this problem so it was somewhat concerning.

When I took the car to the Hyundai dealership, they drove it around of course and came back to tell me nothing was wrong with the car. But the service women did mention they see Tucson's more than any other car. When leaving the dealership I was pulling out onto the highway and you'll never believe what happened! My car wouldn't move when I Pressed the gas petal down... Not only did it not move for a solid 3 seconds, but when it finally did begin to move forward a car was heading right towards me. I knew the car would not pick up enough speed to get out of the way so instead i had to back up out of the way of the car coming towards me. This was a scary experience and at this point i was angry.

There is a major problem with the 2017 Tucson. I'm sure other years too. But this is not only dangerous, but it can become life threatening. Something needs to be done about this before an accident is caused.

There is absolutely no reason this cannot be fixed, other than Hyundai turning a blind eye to the problem.

Bought a 2017 Tucson night edt. on 12-05-2019 with very low miles 16,500 can't go wrong ! right ? Well looks like I'm having the same problem as everyone else on here. When I come to a stop and barely start to push on the gas pedal the car hesitates and sputters till I push the pedal further. This is extremely annoying I am almost ready get rid of it and get another Kia Soul that I had before this that shifted smooth as silk. My 1996 24year old Toyota Camry shifts smoother than this new technology transmission. Hopefully if we bark enough they will implement a new computer update to do a complete reset. Other than that I like everything else about the vehicle.

I have had issues with the transmission/engine jerking in low gear and the vehicle not accelerating from a stop, roll, or low gear. The biggest issue happened when I was taking a left hand turn and went out into the intersection. When there was an opening in traffic, I pressed the gas to turn and started to move and suddenly stalled no matter how much I pressed the gas. Oncoming traffic was coming in hot at about 45-50 mph. I was absolutely terrified and desperately pressing the gas for about 2-3 sections and we finally (very jerkily) zoomed off and missed being demolished by a half a second. It might be worth mentioning that I was 7 months pregnant and my sister was in the passenger seat, and she would have taken the main hit on the passenger side. Scariest near miss of my life. This has happened more times that I can count. I do NOT understand how Hyundai has not issued a recall on this extremely dangerous issue.

I TOOK it to Circle Hyundai in Shrewsbury, NJ and they ran it through computer, tried to simulate the situation, and said they couldn't. Meanwhile the sales person that drove it into the garage felt the same hesitation as i am experiencing. This is annoy, and my friend has a 2019 Hyundai Tuscon and it does not have this issue. Whether Hyundai knew, and made adjustments in the following years, they should recall the 2017 and fix the issue. Frightening, when I am by a railroad. Also the car stalled while in traffic when I ran the air conditioner. I have such mixed emotions about this car. SOMEONE needs to step up and take responsibility before someone seriously gets hurt.
