Engine replacement at 7300 miles!

Dead on arrival. Stop- do not buy. Please note that the severe engine problems continue. The 1.6 engine needed to be replaced after rod and crankshaft failure AT 7,350 miles. Also the premium sound system intermittently stops resulting in no sound from the stereo, navigation and apple play.

The 2017 Tucson in ECO drive mode shows some hesitation when driving off at lower speeds. The other available mode is SPORT which you have to select for it to be enabled. There should be an option of selecting how you want to drive the car. That is why I didn't give all the points in shifting. Tucsons are not necessarily the quietest ride in town but the level of road noise is perfectly bearable. The entertainment center is so loaded with features that it takes a while to get familiar with all the options and menus. Perhaps in a couple of months I will be able to score higher in this particular topic. Other than these minor inconveniences I am extremely happy with my purchase. This is a very well appointed trim with features found only in much more expensive models from other manufacturers

Disappointed

My wife's 2017 Elantra is a remarkable vehicle, and we expected the Tuscon to perform similarly. We had no complaints about fit and finish, comfort and safety features. Having driven one with the 2.0 "lack-of-power plant," our expectation was that the new 1.6 liter turbo would improve overall performance, which it did. However, upon a test drive, the dual clutch 7-speed transmission (available only in the Tuscon Limited and Veloster) produced a hesitation at takeoff, occasionally feeling as if a standard-shift vehicle were started in second gear. An inquiry to the service manager confirmed that this is a quirky characteristic of the power train. That was enough for us to look for a new SUV elsewhere.

DCL Tranny VERY DANGEROUS 9-2019

The Dual Clutch Tranny and the 1.6L engine combo are DISCONTINUED after less than 36 months!, due to drivability and safety issues they could NOT solve! Daughter has a 2016 Tucson Ultra Limited 1.6Turbo DCL, and I have a 2017, same model. BOTH, drive the same, and in the last 1.5yrs, we have both almost been taken out by other drivers, when our cars transmissions go into the "I don't know what to do mode", and basically do not engage, while traffic is bearing down on you!!!! It lurches, slips, and gets confused easily, so you learn to take caution, DON'T try to merge in traffic from a stop, always anticipate the tranny may not engage at ANY time, and be very light on the gas, always, and very smooth, or risk the DCL tranny getting confused, and your car just sitting there, even if its in the middle of a busy injection with a truck coming. Dealerships told us they were getting rid of the DCL tranny because of all of the horror stories. Luckily, mines leased..... so can just give it back at the end, if I live that long.... serious., and don't put many miles on it. Otherwise, everything else is awesome..... just the DCL dangerous tranny! And all of the software fixes have been no-help! It has been discontinued for a safety reason! They should all be recalled voluntarily, or major class action lawsuit from all of the injured people. Again, otherwise, the Hyundai, and New Tucson line are wonderful. Avoid 2016-2018 1.6L DCL Combo! Drive one at Carmax, push gas pedal in a variety of changing levels, on off on again from a stop, like you were going to go, then have to wait, then go again,,, see what happens. Do not try that in traffic!
