Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson based on all problems reported for the 2017 Tucson.
This 2017 Hyundai is equipped with a 7-speed, dual clutch auto transmission. . The problem is a serious hesitation from 1st gear to 2nd gear. In some instances the powertrain momentarily shuts down completely. Also, there is severe chattering when moving forward after a complete stop. I can't tell if the chattering is caused by the gears jumping back and forth between 1st and 2nd or if there is slippage from one of the clutch packs (this a twin clutch pack transmission with out a torque converter). These problems become pronounced as temperatures rise, such as hot summer days. The condition of this transmission has been reviewed by my dealers service department and I have a copy of the work order. I now drive my Hyundai by starting in stick shift mode, than shifting to automatic after 3rd gear. When I visited the dealers service department I was told : "customer complaint couldn't be duplicated". The hesitation, the chattering and occasional shut down of the powertrain is very concerning and obviously is a safety issue that must be addressed.
