Transmission Disgust from Day One

2017 Hyundai Tucson Sport 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

2017 Tucson Sport -Turbo. The sport truck was a nice vehicle, HOWEVER the transmission shifting problems were terrible.When cold the transmission would hesitate, stumble and jerk from a stop.After warming up it would jerk from a start-up as if driving a standard transmission with a faulty clutch. It was so bad my wife was terrified to drive the vehicle. Dealer was no helpwith problem, contacted the NTSB and filed complaint along with many other Hyundai owners. Finally was able to reach an engineer in Redundo Beach, CA, national headquarters, and told him of the problem and was told they were aware of problem and NO longer used this transmission and the dealer was now responsible for the transmission problems...

Don't get a Tucson!

If you are considering a Tucson, do the research. If you are considering moving down from a V6 (I was in a '14 Rogue before) to a 4 cyl, don't do it. You lose so much pep. I thought that the Sport drive feature on the Tucson, would be sufficient and while it works, it's not great. I have thoroughly disappointed in the Tucson and have literally been counting down the months to the time when I can get rid of it! The front passenger seat is not height adjustable, so if you sit in it, you are going to feel so low, as if you can't see over the dash or side door panel. I am 5'6 so it's not like I'm short. There is hardly any leg room for a tall person in that seat. As for the drivers seat, when I do raise it high and need to look to the right, my rear view mirror is in the way, so I have to dip my head to make sure my view is clear. As for the heater - HORRIBLE! This car never seems to heat up! I let it run 20 min before leaving in temps ranging from 10 degrees all the way up to 40 and it still takes more than 20 minutes to heat. I drove almost 5 miles the other day, after letting it heat for 15 min and only after those 15 minutes and 5 miles, did it finally start to get warm. It never does get HOT. This car constantly has to have the defrosters on high, otherwise, the car fogs up when in rainy, snowy or cold conditions. This has been a complete nuisance because I like to have the air on my feet when its cold and I can only keep the floor feature on temporarily before the windows fog up. Also, the A/C isn't great. It doesn't get very cold in the hot summer and intermittently shoots out a colder than average blast. This was the first I bought a black car and never again will I - I'm not sure if it's the color or the cheap paint used on the exterior because it shows EVERY little scratch. As for reliability, the car is fine and I am grateful I'm in a car that is new and hasn't presented any functionally issues that has left me stranded. Overall, I really hate the Tucson and I don't use the "hate" word very often. I have 2 years left on my leave and will be getting out of this vehicle, never to return. I will be returning to Nissan who makes a much higher quality car.

I purchased this vehicle less than 3 weeks ago. The entire purchasing process was the easiest I have experienced. The dealership, (Ralph Thayer Hyundai-Livonia, MI), and my salesperson, Don, were terrific. I knew the trim and preferred color, Sedona Sunset. Don found it the next day, and I took delivery a couple days later. This is the third Hyundai I have owned and by far the best. I was presented with a very attractive offer, way below MSRP. A fair trade in allowance was also appreciated. It was a no hassle no haggling easy process. My salesperson gave me a detailed explanation of all the features and electronics. Dealer prep was flawless. I have put about 800 miles on the Tucson and it has been impressive so far. Interior is very comfortable, with a quiet ride. The 1.6L turbo is plenty for me, as well as the AWD. The Infinity 310 watt 8 speaker entertainment system is incredible. Apple car play is so convenient too. The many many accessories make this an amazing value.

Everything OK but power

A good car, well equipped, an excellent value for money. Unfortunately acceleration is rather poor, which is problematic- and might be dangerous- in those circumstances when you need power.

Not totally Happy!

I bought the Tucson Sport 1.6L I-4 cyl 2017 in December 2017. It had many features that I wanted. I had researched the other vehicles in the same class: CRV, RAV 4, CX-5. What Hyundai was offering as standard equipment, the other brands offered the same at an added cost. At first I was so happy with the car. It was comfortable, back-up camera, auto tailgate, keyless ignition, etc. As time went on the infotainment screen seem smaller and smaller at only 5 inches and it wasn't capable of displaying the navigation from my phone. Every time I would play reggae dancehall music the rearview mirror would vibrate so much. The clincher was the acceleration! It was very unpredictable. When making left turns I never knew if I would make it to the other side in time. That's how bad the lag time was. From a stop, it felt like the car wasn't in the proper gear. I thought I had done a thorough research prior to purchasing this car, but apparently I didn't. The dual clutch transmission was the culprit. Hyundai has been having problems with the DCT in the Tucson for the past several years. There are pending lawsuits and many complaints about this problem . After 11 months, I decided to trade in the car for a 2018 Tucson Sport 2.4L I-4 cyl. I test drove it and I loved it! I didn't feel any hesitation at all. It has the added bonus of a 7 in infotainment screen and auto climate control. Since I just bought the car yesterday, I'll wait a few months to write a review.

Just about everything is right about this car/SUV - Love the 19" performance tires & rims, the panorama moonroof, perforated leather seats with heat/cooling (F & R), the color (Mojave Sand), the way it rides & handles, The 8" navigation & display, the premium audio system, all the safety features & the warrantee. The only feature missing that we really wanted & needed was the memory drivers seat & mirrors - ARE YOU LISTENING HYUNDAI? (Should Be Included with The Ultimate Package). All in all - I would rate this vehicle 4.75 stars out of 5 & the same for the dealership! Much better value than the 2014 Toyota Rav 4 Limited we traded in & I could not justify buying another 2017 Rav 4 after driving this! My husband added the Aaris running boards, a bug deflector, the wind deflectors F & R & the Husky all weather floor liners F, R & cargo & we're all set! He also added a Sony Walk Man with car kit so we can still enjoy our CD collection. UPDATE: After 29,000 miles we got new Continental Extreme Contact tires & the difference is amazing! The Kuhmo garbage tires that came with the vehicle surprised me lasting that long. The Tuscon now rides like new & handles better than new - It's truly amazing what a new pair of shoes can do. No service other than regular oil changes & tire rotations. Still averaging better than 28 mpg combined.

Leased the 2017 Hyundai Tucson Limited with Ultimate package in Dec 2016. At first didnt like it and the DCT issues but as time went on u learn how to drive it without much issue.,So much so i bought out the lease 3 years later. The car is loaded and at 31k miles the only issue was the android auto keeps cutting off plugged in,so i just dont use it. Just bought a set of Michelin Cross Climate 2 tires and the car handles amazing in dry and wet conditions. Was thinking of upgrading to the Genesis GV70 but i see they dont have there act together between dealership issues and faults with the new model,,so for now i"ll just enjoy my awesome Tucson for several more years and still under motor/trans warranty for 4 more years. Getting 22mpg city but 30 Hwy at 70 mph cruise control. My niece bought a new Tucson Hybrid,and its amazing,love this brand.

Awful SUV, will never buy another Hyundai

I have a 2014 Elantra and bought a 2017 Tucson Sport for my wife. This SUV is horrible. The transmission is borderline dangerous with the lack of shifting and acceleration ability. The engine does not want to start at times with the push to start after recently driven. It burns oil, no indication on dash that oil is low. Hyundai dealership is a pain in the ass to work with because they think their cars are perfect little angels. The paint job on Hyundais is cheap, cheap, cheap. Will never buy another Hyundai again.

PANORAMIC ROOF - TAKE-IT-OR-LEAVE-IT

I like Hyundai cars and have bought several new current year Hyundai's over many years. I am satisfied with my 2017 purchase of the Hyundai Tuscan. However, I really wanted a 2018 model, but in order to get all the features I wanted in the 2018 model, I had to settle for getting one with the panoramic roof. The purchase of a model with a panoramic roof should be a completely separate item and we should not be forced to take the panoramic roof because we want or need the other items included with it. The panoramic roof selection should stand alone for those folks who desire the panoramic roof. I prefer all the other options of safety and comfort without the panoramic roof. It is for this reason I purchase the 2017 model Tuscan over the 2018 model as you can't get any 2018 models with the options you want without being forced to take the panoramic roof option. As I mentioned before, I love Hyundai cars and would love to continue buying them, but this may be the last Hyundai car I buy if they don't separate the panoramic roof as a stand-alone item that you could take if you want it. As for me, I see no need in panoramic roofs. As mentioned above we have owned different model Hyundai's over many years (since the 1980's) and we were a two car family and have always loved our prior Hyundai's (Sonatas' and Tuscan)... Until now... We have been so disappointed with the 2017 Tuscan that we decided to trade it in for a Subaru Forester. We previously owned a Tuscan for many years and we loved that car; It felt bigger, wider roomier and a pleasure to drive. However, there was very little to like about our 2017 Tuscan. It was smaller than our previous Tuscan and much less comfortable to drive. I am 5'-6" and found the car hard to get in or or out of. Also, the navigation was terrible. This has been the shortest time we have ever owned a Tuscan (months versus years). I find our new Subaru Forester more like our previous Tuscan and so very glad we decided to take the loss and trade the 2017 Tuscan in for it after just a few months. This is the first time we have purchased something other than a Hyundai in almost 30 years. Hyundai, has lost us. Really sorry I had to make this kind of review.
