Car Accelerates On Its Own problems of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson

The vehicle accelerates suddenly without driver input. Also, it turns off while driving, causing the loss of brake and steering controls. Finally, transmission gear switch without input while driving. This situations occur while driving in both city and highway driving. The vehicle was taken to dealer on 12/26/19; no response has been received either from dealer or manuifacturer.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai tuscon. The contact stated that while attempting to merge into traffic, the vehicle failed to accelerate properly. The contact mentioned that the transmission fluid over heated. The failure occurred on multiple occasions. In addition, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 25.

I purchased this vehicle in Jan 2016 and have less than 2000 miles on the vehicle. I am having dct transmission issues. Had noticed that on several occasions the vehicle is very sluggish and has some difficulty accelerating from a complete stop and at times it lurches forward. This is an intermittent and ongoing issue, but very troublesome, none the less. This occurs during normal in town traffic and especially going up hills from a complete stop. There have also been issues in traffic where it accelerates unexpectedly. I have taken the vehicle into the dealer on two occasions in a seven day period, after deciding that this is not safe to drive at times. When I made the initial appt the receptionists stated that there have been several vehicles in for this issue. The initial time at the dealer, they completed the latch recall and reset the computer to relearn the system, hoping that would be the saving grace. Driving down the road a couple of days later and the sound was so loud while driving, that I pulled over and the sound died down at bit. Made another appointment to take in the vehicle the following Monday, I was told that they were not able to recreate the issue and the service manager was not sure what was going on. It's very frustrating, because you have to take time off work to go back and forth to the dealer to hear that nothing is wrong. The dealer acts like they have never heard of the concern. I was also told that it's the design of the clutch that gives drivers the sluggish feel. I decided to come back to Hyundai to purchase a vehicle and I deeply regret that decision.
