general problems of the 2011 Hyundai Tucson

I have noticed that on various occasions I pressed on the the brake and the car seemed to accelerate until I slammed hard on the brake. Today 12/4/2021 I almost got into an accident as a result.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated he took his vehicle to have regular maintenance done and his independent mechanic informed him that transmission had leaked from his vehicle. The contact stated it had the exhibited the same symptoms as NHTSA campaign number: 16v057000 (power train). The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed that nothing could be done. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000. Jc.

The engine on my 2011 Hyundai Tucson limited seized up without warning on February 6th, 2018 while driving down the highway at 65 mph on hwy 44 in st. Louis. The engine only had 78,000 miles on it and had received regular oil changes. Since it seized up completely I had to get a new engine for it. I had only owned the vehicle for about 10 months; it was purchased from suntrup Ford in st louis in 2017.

My car had unintended deceleration following crank sensor error. On freeway my car suddenly decelerated and I had to exit. Upon exit while diagnosing in the parking lot engine revved suddenly and car moved even though it was on neutral. All the fault codes were caught on torqueobd. However upon restarting the car check engine light is gone and it masks a serious problem in the car that can be life threatening.

Occurs intermittently, but on a more frequent basis now, the shifter becomes blocked and the car can't be put in park. Both stability control and down hill lights come on during that time. Same has occurred while trying to get car out of park and in gear. This has occurred while car is stationary. It became a safety issue while parked on a down slope hill. Had to use e-brake and eventually find a flat road to park and use e-brake while trying to find a solution to securing the vehicle so it would not roll away.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. While attempting to accelerate from a stop, the vehicle failed to respond and the check engine warning light illuminated. The failure occurred twice. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission fluid hose failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 16v057000 (power train); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,000.

In may 2015, my transmission broke down while driving and I was unable to stop in the parking lot of a walmart. I had it towed to the local Hyundai dealership (knoxville, TN) where I purchased the 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The automatic transaxle cooler hose had burst. I paid for the repairs. I received a letter of recall in March 2016, stating I would be reimbursed for the repairs. I submitted the "request for reimbursement". I received a letter from Hyundai on March 25th, 2016, stating they would process the reimbursement in 90 days. They requested a copy of the repair sheet from the Hyundai dealer, which I sent along with the cost documenting where I had paid for the repair. On June 15, (82 days), I received a letter requesting a "clear credit card statement showing name of card holder on statement". The credit card statement was sent the same day showing the name. Having heard no word, I followed up on June 27th (94 days). I received a response requesting the same information to which I stated I had already sent it and sent another copy. On June 29th (96 days), I received a call requesting my relationship with the name on the credit card statement, to which I responded it was my wife's name as we share the credit card account. I was told I'd receive an email within 2 weeks (110) days with a date the check would be sent. After day 110 (July 13th) I sent an email requesting an update. On July 15th (day 112), I received a call from gabriel asking my relationship with the name on the credit card statement. I told him it was the same as the last time, she is my wife. Gabriel said I would receive an email within a week (July 22nd). It is now August 2nd (day 130). I was supposed to receive the reimbursement no later than 40 days ago. My Hyundai recall case # 2714-516150749-2658.

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. Without warning, the vehicle gradually reduced speed and an internal fracture occurred with the transmission. The vehicle was unable to be driven. Upon further inspection, the contact noticed an extensive puddle under the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for further inspection and diagnostic testing. The contact had been waiting for days for the dealer to determine the parts and remedy to repair the vehicle. The contact had not been notified, but the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 16v057000 (power train). The manufacturer was unable to provide a specific date to supply the parts to the dealer. The approximate failure mileage was 32,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

While driving my 2011 Hyundai Tucson manual stick shift on the freeway in 5th gear, the clutch came apart. According to the service tech, the clutch had no significant owner wear and tear. He informed me that the clutch was defective and that it fell apart while driving because a piece fell out, which, according to him, should never have happened. Pictures of defective clutch available. *four months prior, the clutch sensor went out and the vehicle would not start. I was informed that the vehicle had a faulty sensor, again due to product defect.

While driving at approx. 45 mph, I noticed that the electronic stability control light was on and the downhill brake control indicator (red) was on. I returned home, shut down the engine, restarted it, and the problem seemed to go away. Upon returning home the next day from a trip, while parking the car, both indicators came on, and the vehicle would not allow me to put the transmission into park. I left the transmission in neutral, and shut the engine down. I then turned the key on, put my foot on the accelerator pedal (to the floor) for 3 seconds, turned the key on, and the problem was gone. . . . For now.

When driving to and from work (am/pm) the dbc (downhill brake control) and esc (electronic stability control) indicator lights will turn on and remain on until I stop and turn off the ignition. When I stop, I am unable to shift the gear into park. While in a panic, I made several attempts to put the vehicle in park and each attempt was unsuccessful. So I put it in neutral to turn the ignition off, waited a few minutes, then restarted it and put it in park in order to remove the ignition key. I may have to try this several times before I am able to shift into park. It has happened several times since the first date. Also, when I shift gears a loud mechanical clunk sounds which jerks the entire vehicle. This even happens when I start off driving and it is very annoying and scary. I have to restart the vehicle several times before it finally stop. Then after about three days it start all over again. I see this as a danger because I commute 56 miles one way to work and I thought I was purchasing a dependable vehicle but apparently not.

Today I was out in my 2011 Hyundai Tucson. Two of the lights came on the dash, one is for traction control and the other had to do with hills(sorry my car is at the dealer and I don't have the book to tell you the exact light description; one is orange with a vehicle and little skid marks after it the other is red with a vehicle going down a steep hill). I went to stop at a store and my car would not go into park from drive, the farthest I could get it was in neutral. After messing with it for 5 minutes I finally got the car into park. After leaving that store I went to go to another and had the same issue. I immediately called the dealer for service and took my vehicle there. I have done some searching online and see that this is not a new issue with Tucsons as people with older models(2010 and back) have also had the same issue and some of them report it's due to a bad break switch and once it was replaced they didn't have the problem again. My car was purchased in Feb of 2011 and has approximately 6600 miles.

When returning home from store I couldn't put the car in park. Only could get to neutral. Turned the car off and started it up again and it moved into park. This has happen now three(3) times in the last week. I have called to get it looked at next week.
