Love/hate relationship

I have very mixed feelings about this vehicle. It felt like a go-kart to drive and the steering was very loose. Handled curves OK but not great. I only had this car for 3 months before it was totaled. I was in the middle of a 3 car pile-up on the interstate and the Tuscon crumpled like a piece of paper. I've been in many accidents and this is the only one that left me with back/neck pain. I was driving about 70 mph in the left lane when the car in front of me started to break down, and even though I slammed on the breaks, I still slid right into them. Then the Kia Optima behind me slid right into me. Both ends of the car were completely smashed and it was a total loss. I bought this car after I had been driving a 2016 RAV4 for over a year and the Tuscon paled in comparison. Even the blinker annoyed me. Overall not a BAD car, but definitely turned me off Hyundai. I wish I had gotten the Santa Fe instead of the Tuscon. Buy a Toyota instead.

I drove the 2016 Hyundai Tucson Sport 1.6t. It was a fun drive for an SUV. When I got hit in a driverside front overlap collision with a chevy silverado 2500 going abd ge was going 60 mph, I thought I was toast. But apparently not! The airbag deployed as intended, and the crumple zones absorbed virtually all of the impact. I'm lucky to be alive! I highly recommend this car for safety. I miss that car.

2016 Tuscon Dual-Clutch Transmission It's a Clutch

I have owned the Hyundai 2016 Tucson for 4 years, bought it new in May of 2017. It is the limited model and no one wanted it but it only had 41 miles on it. I got a fare deal and the car has been great! This was my second Tucson, first one lasted 10 years and was still going strong, but it was time to get a new one and I liked the look of the 2016 model. The only issue with the car was with the window wiper washer sprayer. It stopped working due to the hose falling off the water tank. Took the car in 3 times for this same problem until I told the service mechanic to just put a hose clamp on the hose instead of trying to glue it each time. That fixed the problem. A frustrating experience for sure. After the car turned 32k miles I started having vibration problems with the transmission. One day I was at a stop light and proceeded to press the gas pedal and move forward and the car had other ideas. It just would not move forward and I could hear the engine speeding up as I pushed the pedal, but the transmission sounded like it was slipping. I released the gas pedal and slowing pressed it and the car began to move. Luckily no cars were coming toward me when this happened. I figured it was a software glitch and didn't happen again. Then one day when releasing my foot from the brake after a stop, as the car slowly creeped forward it would shake and shake more. The car was drivable and I could work with this by slowing pressing the gas pedal after a start instead of letting the car creep forward on its own. I decided it was time to take it to the dealer and have them fix it since the warranty covered 100k miles or 10 years. After a call to Hyundai customer service and 3 visits to the dealer for this problem, the dealer finally made the repair that was in the service bulletin for the dual clutch transmission. I printed out this document and handed it to the service writer and insisted that he give it to the mechanic. The dealer referred this transmission problem as juddering on the service report. A word I didn't know existed, that means shaking repeatedly. The process is to do the software update then test the vehicle to see if it judders more than the allowable amount. From my standpoint any amount is not acceptable because I feel it. On my third visit the test showed the juddering over the allowable amount so the dual clutch was finally replaced, but then the car showed that the actuator module was not accepting the software update, so it had to be replaced too. That fixed the issue. I was lucky that this issue was covered under warranty so my out of pocket amount was the amount of my time lost taking the car to the dealer and the time on the phone with Hyundai customer service and the time without a car. Sure I was frustrated that it took 3 or more visits to the dealer for them to do the repair they should have done on my first visit when I mentioned it. Especially since there is a recall for this issue by Hyundai... but if you type in your VIN number on the recall finder page, my car's vin didn't show up even though it has the dual clutch transmission and is a 2016 limited. The service bulletin shows the first 3 letters of the VIN number as cars that qualify, my car qualified based on that. I was frustrated also because I mentioned this problem during my scheduled oil changes, but each time the dealer shrugged it off as probably a computer glitch. That shows lack of safety proactiveness, better response time is needed by Hyundai for known recalls. I know how cars work so I am able to try things to get out of a situation when the tranny slips. Not all people can do this and will just keep pressing the gas pedal when then should let off on it and let the clutch engage. This juddering the dual clutch transmission does, is similar to a manual transmission when you let the clutch out to fast and the car wants to judder forward or stall if not enough engine power is applied by pressing the gas pedal. The cars computer controls the amount of gas in this case so you just get the terrible juddering with out the car stalling. This said, if a transmission has a clutch and clutches do wear out, Hyundai should build in to their warranty a scheduled clutch replacement time. Every 30k miles seems about right for the dual clutch transmission. A manual trans needs a new clutch after so many miles, so does an automatic trans with a clutch that wears out. After a month from the time the dual clutch repair was made, the car is running like new again. It will probably go another 32k miles before the dual clutch needs to be replaced. I however have lost some confidence with the Hyundai experience. I am not sure what I will do, but I am leaning toward trading in this car and buying a new one. Five Stars to Hyundai for standing behind their products and warranty, even though the process is frustrating to go through. They still make good cars for the value, although I am liking the design of the new Hyundai with the low tail lights and blocking the rear view window with their large logo. Great they moved the rear wiper out of view but then they go and block the window with this great big logo, really...We already know it's a Hyundai don't create a safety issue by blocking my rear view window. The only other thing I can complain about is Hyundai not putting the dimming mirror with Homelink on every car trim. That is something a lot of people use daily, it should be standard equipment and not a feature only available on the most expensive trim. I don't know what goes into the thinking or not thinking process of car designs but a lot of it is common sense if you drive a car. Thanks for listening. DR. Update, after several months and 3k miles on the replaced dual clutch transmission, the car is still running great. Update on transmission, after 6k miles, the car still runs like new.

I’m the second owner of this car. It has about 76,000 miles now and I’ve been having problems with the transmission, the car won’t go over 55 miles, the oil is never on the dip stick when I check it. I’ve been to the dealership multiple times. They can’t figure out the problem, but they are taking my money and not solving the problem. I need a lawyer to help me. They are selling LEMONS!!!
