Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson

Bought certified 2016 Hyundai Tucson turbo ltd with eco and dual clutch transmission. I've had it for 5 days. I bought it for my son and daughter to attend high school. The car kept acting like it was going to stall at every stop, it kept stuttering, and when you are accelerating and take your foot off the pedal the rpms keep rising, and doesn't switch gears. It refs and rpm goes up but it doesn't switch gears up or down shift either. The engine revs high and won't switch gears. It's like it wants to accelerate when you want it to slow down and when stopped it wants to stall. Today it happened. We came to a stop so we could turn left onto an onramp on highway, (have to cross over other lane to go on on ramp), and it stuttered and stalled on opposite oncoming traffic side, before we could reach the ramp. My son was driving and I was in front seat and daughter was in back seat, I got scared, as you can't see what coming over the hill on side we stalled (oncoming traffic). The guy saw we had stalled and ran out and started waving something down. It was an oncoming semi. Thankfully he was able to redirect him or we would have been struck. We got the car started again and were able to get home. I looked up what had happened and saw that there was a mass recall of my exact car model, in the exact time frame of vehicle being made. The recall was for the exact things that are and did happen to us. I contacted the dealer and asked them why they never divulged this information and they said the didn't know. I read on the NHTSA site that my exact SUV, made the same date, Hyundai had recalled, but mine for some reason is not. Problem is when I put my VIN in, nothing comes up for a recall. I don't want to put my kids back in this car. I just dropped $24,000 5 days ago in a car loan. Please help.

Vehicle has the 1. 6 liter turbo engine w/ dual clutch transmission. From a stop the vehicle hesitates to accelerate and then takes off. Tried being more aggressive on gas pedal but still hesitates, then it really shoots off. Vehicle has 3 modes of driving- normal, eco, sport. Tried all 3 and problem remains. Although I can't duplicate/confirm results it seems to operate [slightly] better in lower temps (50-70f degrees) vs hot temps (85-95f). Disconcerting or dangerous when pulling out into traffic.

I purchased my 2016 Tucson new in March 2016 it currently has approximately 58,500 miles on it. I have always taken my car to the dealer for all oil changes and regular maintenance requirements. I never had any problems until recently, in stop and go traffic the car bucks and feels like it will stall, more than it used to several months ago. That I could deal with however, it also became unreliable when I was taking off from a red light, stop sign etc. I would step on the gas and the car would not move forward I have lost count how many times it has done this since the end of March. The first time I took my car to key Hyundai they told me they needed to duplicate what I was telling them. After a few hours I got a call and was told they could not duplicate the issue, so they checked for any diagnostic issues found none so to "keep me happy" they did a dual clutch relearn. I took the car home and really noticed very little difference. Then within a couple of weeks it started repeating the hard bucking and again there were a few times that after I stopped to wait for traffic or a green light I would step on the gas and go nowhere no matter how far down I pressed the gas pedal until all of the sudden it would move forward. I brought the car back to Hyundai on may 6, 2019 and for the last 10 days they say they have not been able to duplicate the problem and there is nothing they can do. I am due to pick up my car from them tomorrow and they will have done nothing even though they know I am a loyal customer and have never had a complaint prior to this, and even though they told me there are known issues with this car and what I am describing and that is because when they called Hyundai they were told that they must duplicate the issue or no repair. That now leaves my safety in question when driving my car.

I can tell you I narrowly avoided being hit at least 3 times over the last couple of months.

I took the car home and really noticed very little difference then within a couple of weeks it started repeating the bucking and not moving forward from a complete stop no matter how far down I pressed the gas pedal. I brought the car back to Hyundai and for the last 2 days they say they have not been able to duplicate the problem. I am due to pick up my car from them tomorrow and they will have done nothing even though they know I am a loyal customer and have never had a complaint prior to this, and even though they told me there are known issues with this car and what I am describing. I no longer feel safe driving this car especially with my 8-year-old grandson with me (I drive him every day to specialists).

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. While driving approximately 65 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The vehicle was taken to lithia Hyundai of fresno (located at 5590 n blackstone Ave, fresno, CA 93710, (559) 899-3257) where it was diagnosed that the failure was due to the ecoshift dual clutch transmission. The vehicle was repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 16v628000 (power train, electrical system); however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

When I put my foot on the gas pedal from a stopped position the car hesitates and often will shudder. The company has admitted it is a flaw due to dual clutch transmission. They have since stop using this transmission. This occurs regardless of street , or highway.

While at an intersection waiting to turn left, I proceeded to accelerate (car was in sport mode) into the left turn to move through the intersection on a green light before on-coming traffic approached. I requested significant accelerator pedal application to proceed through the turn, likely 3/4 throttle when suddenly the 7spd dual clutch transmission would not shift into 2nd gear. Luckily I was through the intersection and turn and no longer in danger when this happened. The engine was hovering right around 6700rpm and appeared to be hitting a soft limiter and ultimately refused to shift. I left off the gas completely and proceeded to re-apply the throttle when finally the engine revs came back down and re-engage the next gear rather abruptly. After the incident the car appeared to run and shift normally without issue. There appears to be an on-going issue with intermittent transmission engagement with the Tucson. I've visited the dealer documenting previous issues with a lack of acceleration and shifting, but Hyundai does not address the problem because there is no current fix. The car has all current recalls and tsbs performed relating to the programming of the transmission.

2016 Hyundai Tucson dual clutch transmission is still dangerous and unpredictable after I had the recall done related to this issue last year. Below 25 mph, the transmission shudders, jerks and hesitates. There is also a loud clunking noise when accelerating at lower speeds. Recently the vehicle failed to accelerate from a stop in traffic for 5 seconds when I pushed the gas pedal. The Hyundai dealership told me there is no fix for this issue and that it's typical for a dct. I have driven other vehicles with dcts and they did not have these issues.

2016 Hyundai Tucson 1. 6t with the 7spd dual clutch transmission refused to respond to accelerator pedal after starting from a dead stop. Situation: stopped at an intersection waiting to turn left, proceeded to accelerate from the stop to turn left through the intersection at ~5mph and half way through the middle of the turn/intersection the car refused to respond to gas pedal input for increased speed. I tried depressing the gas pedal more, but no response. I completely let off the pedal and then re-applied and the car started to respond with regular power delivery with the transmission shuddering a bit. Cars approaching the intersection had to wait for me to get through, luckily it wasn't extremely busy with fast moving traffic. I feel this 'random' lack of response to the gas pedal poses a serious safety issue. The Tucson has had the latest t1b dct update (16-01-057) applied at the dealer since 3/11/17. This is not the first time the car has given me issues accelerating or continuing to accelerate. Transmission also experiences intermittent problems when asking to downshift under 3/4-full throttle conditions - it often will half engage and feel like it's slipping in gear eventually applying the right get with no slip. This creates questionable passing on the highway since you never really know what the transmission is going to do when requesting it to perform multiple downshifts under power.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. While the vehicle was stationary, it jerked when the contact removed his foot from the brake pedal. The contact stated that it felt as if the vehicle would stall. It was diagnosed that the jerking condition was a feature of the vehicle due to the presence of a dual clutch. The vehicle was repaired and the clutch actuator was replaced, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.

Faulty dual clutch transmission causes the vehicle to hesitate without warning when the gas pedal is pushed. This happens at random times and with different degrees of severity. This has happened on many occasions and creates a major safety hazard as the acceleration may not be there when needed. Hyundai has known their dct is faulty and they have not been able to fix this problem after several attempts, including 2 recalls for this issue. Lives are at risk for not only the driver but other drivers as well.

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. While driving various speeds, the vehicle vibrated abnormally and the transmission failed to function properly. On several occasions, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, there was a hesitation before the transmission engaged and the vehicle lunged forward. The dealer diagnosed that the double clutch in the transmission failed and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,659.

The car randomly does not shift into first gear when attempting to accelerate from a stopped position. My husband and I had been noticing that the car would sometimes lag when attempting to accelerate from stopped and then jump forward. We also noticed similar issues when the automatic transmission is changing from first to second gear and second to third gear. Last week, my husband and I were entering a main road from a parking lot. When my husband released the break and stepped on the gas pedal, the car slowly rolled forward into the road, but did not accelerate even when my husband pushed the gas to the floor and the car revved. The first gear did not engage. My husband had to turn off the car and restart the engine in order to get the car to move. We took it to the Hyundai dealership for repair. They claimed to clean some contacts and update the software and said that this fixes the problem, which was a known issue. The next day, we were once again entering a road from a parking lot, and the same issue occurred. We took it back to Hyundai and the manager said that this is a known defect with the dual clutch transmission of this model of car and that they had already performed ¿software updates¿ on approximately 70 cars at their dealership and only just realized the day before that this doesn¿t fix anything. He said that the car was not safe to drive, Hyundai does not currently know how to fix the issue, and that they would give us a loaner car while Hyundai engineers work on the problem. He said they may have a solution in a few weeks. In the meantime, he claimed that their dealership was no longer selling these vehicles. These cars are a safety hazard and it is only a matter of time before someone gets killed. They all need to be recalled immediately.

I was at a traffic light on a city street waiting for the light to turn green. When the light turned green I depressed the gas pedal and my car barely moved. The rpm's rev'd up but the car was barely moving. I thought I was in neutral at first but was not. I kept hitting the gas trying to get power to the car to get through the intersection. Cars behind me were beeping. The car finally found a gear and continued on. That was scary. If I were making a left turn someone could have been seriously injured or even worse! I am afraid to drive this car now. This seems to be a growing issue with owners of this vehicle. I believe it has something to due with the dual clutch transmission. I have contacted Hyundai corporate and the dealership. I want to help get the word out to escalated the fix for this issue or a resolution.

The vehicle (1. 6 turbo) has a hesitancy to engage in acceleration relative to pressing the accelerator pedal. Once engaged, it immediately jumps out to a quick, jolting and what feels like an uncontrollable start. This typically happens at stop/start intersections where the car comes to a full and complete stop. Yesterday, (07. 20. 16) the vehicle choked and sputtered and almost stalled on a small rise when traffic started moving through a just-turned green light at a very busy intersection during rush hour. The tachometer winds out in a manner disproportionate to the speedometer reading. This does not mimic the effects of a turbo lag. Rather, it feels like the vehicle isn't getting a timely delivery of gas to the engine firing mechanisms (we would liken it to a dirty fuel line or a clogged carburetor on older cars), or the dual clutch system is debating whether or not to get in gear when demanded, or whatever device that interprets driver commands (pedal pushing) to engine performance isn't responding efficiently. The car has had one shop visit for this issue and the dealer (werner Hyundai, tallahassee) stated they 'reset the software. " I will be taking the car back to the dealer the week of July 25, 2016. Unfortunately, I anticipate this issue will lead to a wreck, most likely from 1) being hit from behind as the car tries to figure out whether or not to accelerate, or 2) being t-boned at an intersection because the car won't accelerate through a rush-hour yellow light, or 3) being t-boned because my car launched (literally) out into oncoming traffic (that initially was at a safe distance away) once it got past the choke/sputter/stall point.

The vehicle is a limited with dual clutch transmission (dct). Vehicle has 1,052 miles on it, and I purchased new one month ago. Stopped at a traffic signal at head of line. When light turned green, I removed my foot from the brake and began to apply gas pedal. Car is in drive, standard mode. Engine would rev, but vehicle would not move. Switched to manual shift and still no movement. Put the vehicle in park and then back to drive, but vehicle would not move, though engine would rev. Once traffic cleared from behind me, I was able to engage reverse and back the vehicle into a parking lot. I restarted the vehicle and it still would not engage any of the forward gears, but would engage reverse gear. I waited an hour with the vehicle running and in park for the tow truck to arrive. Even the tow truck operator could not make the vehicle engage a forward gear. The vehicle was towed to the Hyundai dealer where it was purchased. After one whole day at the service repair, they cannot tell me what is wrong.

Car is a 2016 Tucson with the 1. 6t engine and dual clutch automatic transmission. On 3 occasions while driving in slow traffic the car will not move after coming to a stop. The engine revs as if in neutral with no power to the wheels. After 10-15 seconds and shifting from park back to drive the electronic clutch partially engages enough to get the car moving again, but behaves like a manual transmission car with the clutch pedal partially depressed. The car does not display any warning lights or error codes. Took it to Hyundai dealer who advised it is a known problem but they have no solution. This is a hazard as it has left me stuck in traffic unable to move. Unbelievable that Hyundai is aware and offers nothing. Google search of "2016 Hyundai Tucson dct problems" hits over 25k search results. I see other NHTSA complaints on same issue.

I pulled into the drive thru line at bank behind another vehicle. I placed the Tucson into park, but left the engine running while the person in front of me processed their transaction. When it was my turn I moved the vehicle into park and pressed the gas pedal to move forward but the vehicle did not move. The rpms moved into the 3000 and 4000 range but the car did not move. Emergency brake was not on. Vehicle was in drive. No errors or warning lights on dashboard. I moved the vehicle into and out of park and neutral several times before the transmission engaged and allowed me to ease forward. I placed the car back into park while my transaction was processed. After my transaction was complete I placed the vehicle back into drive and attempted to pull forward. Once again high rpms and engine revving very loudly but not moving anywhere. I tried the shifting gears trick several times and it still did not work. The drive thru lane had to be shut down while I was trying to get my vehicle to move. After turning it off and back on a few times it finally worked and I was able to get into a parking spot. I called my husband. He arrived approximately 30 minutes later. He started the vehicle and drove around the parking lot. He reported that when the vehicle came to a complete stop (though still in drive) he would then attempt to accelerate and the engine would rev to high rpms for 3-10 seconds before finally engaging and causing a quick jerky jack rabbit start. Even with the dual clutch transmission, the previous 7,400 miles driven it would only rev to approx 1200 rpms prior to accelerating. Decided to take to dealership. Car turned off while removing items. When turned back on and driving to dealership problem did not occur. Dealership kept vehicle from Friday afternoon to Monday. They stated they were unable to recreate and that there were no error codes in the computer.

Just happened to me yesterday. 7000+ miles on my Tucson. I was waiting to go straight at a red light and when the light turned green I couldn't accelerate. Revved high but didn't move until I let off the gas a little and it seemed like the clutch finally engaged and I was moving at about 5 mph while still reaching high rpms. Cars yielding to make a left were waiting for me to continue straight. Luckily I wasn't trying to make any right turns at any intersection because I'd imagine a car coming at full speed could've hit me if I didn't pick up my speed quick enough. As I was attempting to get back to my work parking lot (all the streets were busy during the lunch hour), I was at a slight incline and the car didn't accelerate again as it should. I floored the pedal to avoid rolling backwards into another car and as soon as the clutch engaged my car peeled out and accelerated abruptly. The "transmission temp. Too high" indicator light came on. Luckily was able to make it to work. This happened once before but only once on one acceleration at a red light. I didn't think anything of it as it drove normal afterwards. Hyundai did the ecu flash update (as a TSB that I wasn't aware of) at the dealership a few weeks later and I thought it may have taken care of the issue. When it happened yesterday, it was much worse than the first time as it continuously had acceleration issues. After work, I drove very carefully to the dealership to drop the car off. It was a very dangerous situation and I hope they can get fix on this car. I love this car and it fits my daily needs perfectly. Hopefully, Hyundai can get this issue taken care of where all service departments are on the same page and get a TSB sent out to all owners who may own affected models.
