This is my 3rd Hyundai. XG300 - Loved it - 2004 Santa Fe - Loved it - 2017 Tucson - Hate it!! There are many things that I don't like but the main one is the DCT transmission (Dual Clutch Transmission). It jerks every time you accelerate. I have talked to service reps about this and they just say that's the way they are making them now. It holds back on acceleration at higher speeds. If I go from braking to accelerating the car hesitates before accelerating. I was told this is the computer "it gets confused" when you brake and accelerate to quickly. It nearly go me broadsided due to the fact I had to stop short from getting hit in a circle and it would not move right away after that. I floored it and it still didn't move. I not only could have gotten broadsided but I could have been rear-ended or worse. I guess the computer was confused!! I don't want a computer having control of driving my car. The wheels lock up every time I hit the brake on a wet road - not snowy or icy - wet. I have skidded through stop signs on occasion because the wheels lock up. The headlights aren't bright enough. There are no fog lights. The inside of the windshield fogs up all the time, also the side windows fog up. The outside mirrors never clear. The air flow inside the car changes all by itself. I put it on inside air and it changes back to outside air. Any questions??

worse crossover I have ever owned! I traded it in within the same year I purchased it 2017. I literally had to wait to make sure both lanes were clear before entering traffic my gas peddle hit the floor with no acceleration what so ever! I owned a Tuscan plus AWD 2017 the engine is a 2.0L and a 7 speed transmission which is terrible!

My Tuscon has been nothing short of a nightmare. From day one it has shifted very very rough, almost stalls out in traffic, and fails to accelerate from a stop. I have almost been hit 3 times due to these malfunctions. All of these are due to a design flaw in the dual clutch system. Hyundai even has a recall TSB (technical service bulletin) out to all of it's dealers regarding these safety issues, yet they deny it. But their service managers freely acknowledge all of these problems the 4 times I have taken it in for them. They say they hear these same complaints over and over again about the Tuscon. If you Google search Hyundai Tuscon dual clutch problems, you will find thousands of the same complaints. This is obviously a dangerous vehicle according to their own tsb.

Tucson: Intro to SUV

My true love is for a sports car... age and arthritis sent me to a sedan... retiring and moving to a rural area with more severe winters prompted me to an SUV with all wheel drive. The Tucson is the third Hyundai I've owned, but my first SUV, so I opted to lease for two years to test the SUV waters. I was not disappointed. (And as I write this, my lease has ended, and I am trading the 2017 Tucson for a 2019 Santa Fe, as I am looking for more cargo space, and a heftier SUV-"trucky" feel.) There is nothing negative I have to comment about the Tucson. It is a well built, generously appointed (Ultimate package) small SUV, and has served well for the driving I now do. Occasionally, when visiting my kids/grandkids, I would have appreciated a bit more cargo capacity, but for my usual local driving, it was a comfortable and more than adequate vehicle. The all wheel drive feature was absolutely necessary for winter driving, and I had no issues in navigating our local roads or, most important, getting up the incline to leave my driveway! The features on the 2017 Tucson Ultimate package far exceed those found on comparable vehicles of other makes in the same price range. I opted to lease this vehicle as I was unsure if I liked having an SUV. As it turned out, it was more than all right, and I am going for my second SUV lease, as previously noted. I have been a Hyundai owner since 2003, and am satisfied with the vehicle quality vs price, and note that Hyundai overall quality standards have appreciably risen since 2003 (first Hyundai was a 2004 XG350, traded for a 2007 Azera Ltd, needed All/4 wheel drive, but loved that car!) Overall, the Tucson is a terrific small SUV - dependable, comfortable, and reasonably priced.

Engine died at 94K. Because we were the second owner, warranty did not cover. Car started burning through oil about 8 months ago and then one day driving through town, the engine started shaking. The car was only 7 years old, well maintained, and the engine failed. It is shameful that Hyundai is getting away with this. No engine in a modern car should completely fail at less than 100K miles. Edmunds needs to review their 4/5 reliability rating as thousands of these engines are dying, leaving owners in a horrible position.

19 days after the 90 day clause, the engine froze. Mechanic says this year model is notorious for that.
Tucson 1.6 liter turbo - AVOID

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

I bought my 2017 Tucson 1.6 turbo new. It has 96,000 kilometers now. The engine began using oil at 80,000 km and Hyundai won't fix or replace it until it uses 1.5 liters every 1,000 kilometers. Mine uses 1.25 liters and the 5 year 100,000 km warranty has expired 8 months ago. When bringing it in to verify the oil it burns I spoke to DOZENS of other Tucson owners who had the same problem - none of them qualified for warranty. Now at 96,000 km (and 8 months past its warranty) mine has also developed a serious transmission seal leak which affects the CV transmission - $3,000 repair not covered by warranty now. Together I need a new engine, new CVT clutch at a total cost of $11,000 none of which is covered by warranty. I have owned 8 new vehicles over the years and I have never had one of them that required either a new engine or new transmission despite driving each of them over 150,000 km (one of them I drove for 350,000 km) before trading them in on a new vehicle . Avoid any Hyundai Tucson but especially the 2017 1.6 turbo.

Disappointed. Going to do my research next time looking into cars, as this was my first time car buying experience. I will not recommend a Hyundai to anyone. 6 year mark on the vehicle, 105k miles and the engine completely blew. I noticed in the last 2 years or so it was burning oil quickly and I was having to do frequent oil changes. If you look up other articles on this vehicle you will see multiple reports of the same issues. Clearly it was an issue as the whole engine got destroyed. Also want to note that there was absolutely no warning lights on the vehicle when the engine started to make knocking noises. Went through the dealership and through corporate Hyundai only to get a discount on a new engine. The day after I picked up the car after putting in the new engine at the dealership, the A/C started only blowing hot air. I reported the issue the next day and was denied coverage on the A/C both by the corporate and the dealer. Total for engine and A/C was over $4,000. Also, I was only contacted by one representative through corporate Hyundai after submitting my concerns over 2 months ago and of course they can’t do anything because it’s out of warranty. Just read the reviews yourself and do your research. Hopefully I can trade the car in elsewhere and I am definitely not going to buy another Hyundai.
I love my car!

This car is beautiful. There is plenty of room for 5 adults and plenty of leg room. The console is beautiful and easy to set up. The only drawback would be that there is not much room in the very back trunk area. Other than that I highly recommend this car.

Be aware the car looks very nice! but looks are deceiving. i got mine on the beautiful Caribbean blue with the upgraded wheels, cars is spacious and it serves its purpose as a small SUV. Panoramic sunroof is beautiful. Radio works fine as well as the Bluetooth. I has blind spot detector, cross traffic warning, rear view camera, heated front seats, plenty of good pointers to the car. Now onto the thing i HATE about this car, the transmission, its shifts like garbage on low gears it jerks really badly and in occasions after a short stop car wont accelerate right away, it lacks power at is has a small engine for the size of the car. Unfortunately, Hyundai's do NOT hold they resale value so if you really want to trade out of the car early you will be deep on upside down $$$$$. In general its a great looking car with a very ugly power-train.
