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.

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.

Turbo engine won't let you down. I have a santa fe v6 engine and bought 2017 tucson sport 1.6 turbo. regular v6 engine seamlessly shift gears from low to high rpm. Turbo 1.6 kicks in at 1500 rpm which I love it. Don't expect power or torque yet from 700 to 1499 REV. this where the disappointment starts. You need to manage the engine power and torque . My wife loves it ...i love it.

Wonderful Family Car

I spent way too much time researching vehicles and I finally ended up on the Hyundai Tuscon based on the spirited test drive. In the end the sporty turbo engine and the 19" wheels won me over the Rav4 and the Forester but it's the cargo space and the panoramic roof that I ended up liking the most.

Auto Door Lock-Parking Brake Warning Light

A couple things on my 2017 Tuscon I can't seemed to get resolved. 1) The driver's side door will not open automatically. It stopped working about 6 months ago and I've gotten so many different solutions: wire disconnected in door, wiring in handle needs to be replaced, total door handle needs to be replaced. 2) The Parking Brake warning light will not go off!! I have paid for 3 diagnostics test (one at a Hyundai dealership) and nothing comes up so, of course, no one can figure how to get the light to go off and stay off! I've had another mechanic check it and he was so sure he had it fixed that when I brought the car back, he disconnected the brake fluid reservoir sensor thinking that was it and I didn't need it anyway. Can some PLEASE help! Brake sensor pads have been checked - go figure there aren't any. I really want to trash the car!
