general problems of the 2012 Hyundai Tucson

I received the recall of my 2012 Hyundai tuscon. As a precaution I took it to the dealership to address the recall 181 and an electrical issue I had with the power windows. I visited the dealer two weeks apart and sat at the dealership for more than 5 hours with the second visit being for 8 hours. I was told something was leaking in steering and that had tl be fixed. I left with my car and approximately 8 days later there was a clicking and clanking aound coming from the engine, ive never heard the sound, yet on my paperwork it stated I complained about the sound, which I never did. My car started to stall and lose speed. I was over 100 miles from home and my car was failing in the mountains at that. I called the service department multiple times and never received a call back. Thank god for my insurance towing the car to the closest dealership. A day and half later I was told the engine was gone! I visited the dealership on 07/31/20 & 08/14/20. . . They documented a rattling rattling sound in the front in. . . Never addressed me about this �sound� , did a so call inspection of the car and next thing I am told is I cant drive it because the engine could blow. No return from Hyundai service manager, no claim filed and I am still out of state without an answer. Called customer service sat online 30 mins waiting for a rep before their line disconnected and them another hour. Filed a case and now still stuck waiting for these people to do their job with out putting my life at risk.

Vehicle intermittently does not accelerate from a stop, often looses power. This can be dangerous if pulling out into traffic. Transmission issues have been addressed with other years, but this issue has not been addressed with earlier model years. While turning into traffic, vehicle did not accelerate as expected almost cause it an accident. Took vehicle to Hyundai for service, and the problem could not be duplicated at the time, instead was told to �change transmission fluid, that may help� there have been multiple other Tucson's with the same issue. Vehicle continues to have same issues.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. While attempting to accelerate from a traffic light, the vehicle lurched forward and independently accelerated. The contact stated that the failure recurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.

I should start by stating that this has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle since I got it last year. At random times, while driving, my vehicle will not allow me to go above 2500k rpms, even with the gas pedal fully depressed. This may happen while I am on a slow road or, as today, when I am on the highway. It is a safety concern because I will need to merge onto the highway or speed up for some other reason and suddenly I have no power. I will be going 30mph and entering a 70mph roadway. The only way to stop this is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and then turn it back on. I have taken it to my Hyundai dealer multiple times and they have been unable to fix it or address it in any way whatsoever. It is a huge safety issue that they will not address.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that there was a recurring failure in which the vehicle would hesitate for 5-6 seconds when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but the cause for the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 12,000.
