I am experiencing a problem with the vehicle's acceleration from a stop which is worsening over time. I bought the vehicle new in September 2017. I routinely experience a severe lag in acceleration from a stop, causing jerky movements and sometimes unintended acceleration. I do not feel as if the vehicle is safe to drive on a daily basis. I have had the car looked at by Hyundai technicians in my local dealership's service department. They have reported that there are no issues they can identify and the car is operating as it was built to. I have expressed my concerns about the vehicle's safety and they have told me to contact Hyundai's consumer affairs department. I have initiated a ticket with consumer affairs.
The 2017 Tucson sport has the 1. 6 turbo with the dual clutch transmission. When pulling out into traffic, one never knows if the car will respond to the gas pedal and accelerate or just stumble along. This is a known problem, and there is a recall or similar for the 2016 with NHTSA. The dealership (kearny mesa Hyundai, san diego) tells us that "they all do that" when we took it in for safety concerns and repair. Any subsequent requests for repair were met with "it will cost you 150 dollars to check it out if it's the same situation as before with no solution". This car is a danger to us and others on the road. It also tends to go into some sort of leaf blower mode sometimes when you hit the brakes, where the revs soar but it doesn't act like it downshifted. This is not a mixup in brake/gas pedal usage, like the unintended acceleration problems weve all read about with other brands. The dct has a mind of it's own and is a hazard on the road. The problems are when the vehicle is in motion, and it can happen anywhere, at random, highway, freeway, pulling out of a driveway. . . Anywhere. Please help get these dangerous cars off the road. Not sure what documentation you want, but the car is under warranty, and was bought in Aug 2017. Cars with this engine/trans are still for sale in the showrooms nationwide, a known danger to all concerned. The dealership service mgr has told us how there are a lot of unhappy customers out there with 1. 6 turbo/dct drivetrains, and yet they are selling more by the day. Yet there is no support other than the one time attempt and "they all do that". Help.
