Clutch Pedal/linkage problems of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson

While driving normally in �d� drive in my 2017 Hyundai Tucson, I simply stepped on the gas pedal to accelerate and merge into high-speed freeway traffic, and with no dashboard light warnings or any sign of dysfunction of the vehicle, the car accelerated perfectly in first gear, and seemed to automatically get into another gear and as I was merging with traffic the car shuddered slightly spasmodically � and then the transmission (clutches) completely disengaged with the engine revving to 8000 rpms with no gear engagement after stepping on the gas pedal. The gear shift was useless even when I went to "shiftronic" manual mode - I had no manual control. No gear indicator numeral (like a "1") appeared. Nothing - and no indication on the dashboard. I fortunately avoided death by luck of the trucker avoiding a major rear-end collision with my car - as I successfully managed to get onto the shoulder in just the nick of time. Internet research shows this is an inherent problem with this dct transmission, and in wylie v. . Hyundai America class action lawsuit, all of the descriptions of events that had occurred to other claimants - also occurred to me. Currently Hyundai is attempting to bait me into signing my rights away, nor are they conducting their customer service in a proper, on the level manner. This is a major safety hazard, and I was almost killed or involved in a major catastrophic accident that certainly would have caused major injury or death.

The vehicle hesitates before accelating after the car is stopped at a traffic light. Basically the car does not move at all. Seems "dead. " as a driver, I put my foot on the gas pedal and nothing happened. After about 30 seconds, the car kicks in and will move after awkardly lurching forward which is not particularly comfortable or safe for the driver and passengers. This has happened multiple times. The dealer blames it on the dual clutch transmission and advises that it cannot be fixed. I am concerned that this could lead to another driver rear ending my vehicle or another type of accident.

When I make a turn right or left, joining traffic, I press acceleration and the car does nothing. . . I may even push the pedal to the floor, engine roars at 5-6k and the car does not move at all or moves extremely slowly. . . I watch the cards approaching from the back and start to pray. . . I barely escaped few accident situations because the approaching drivers were cautious enough about something wrong going on with my car, not moving. This happened multiple times. The authorized Hyundai service did not find anything wrong. But, according to other public records, the issue seems likely to be the dual clutch transmission (dct), later renamed to "automated manual", which is what I have in my Tucson.

Vehicle currently has 25,xxx miles on it. It has the 1. 6l turbo engine with dct (dual clutch transmission). It is very unpredictable in regard to making a smooth start from standstill. The is considerable lag and jerking before the vehicle will respond with forward motion. Sometimes, just releasing the brake at a stop, the vehicle will buck and jerk without even touching the accelerator pedal. This is a safety hazard as it is unpredictable on the severity and when it will occur. Taking the car to the dealer was not of any help. They performed scans and said everything was "normal". They gave me a paper description on how the dct operates but that does not solve the problem. They basically said that's the way it is, just get used to it. Performing a goggle search yields many similar complaints. Hyundai has not owned up to this problem as far as I can tell. Perhaps if enough owners report this common problem, Hyundai will be forced to perform a recall with a solution to address the problem. This problem has been noticed continually on an intermittent basis since oct of 2018.

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.

Some times car will not move though gas pedal is pushed from very low speed to accelerate. Happened numerous times to me and just bought car in Feb 2018. I have even floored the pedal which I have never had to do in any other car I've owned since I've had a license to get it to move. I made a 3 pt turn yesterday and getting ready to come out of it didn't want to move right away and a car was approaching me from behind on a side street leaving a festival. I've also made u-turns and getting ready to move into traffic it hesitates which is dangerous. It stops instead of going even though gas pedal is depressed. I don't trust car to move properly from slow speed to acceleration. I've reported it to Hyundai and called local dealer and they said double clutch but it needs to be fixed or a recall on it. I have read many of the same type of complaints. Doesn't happen all the time but enough times. It can be very sluggish and I bought car with under 10,000 miles on it just recently. For a turbo it seems strange way it reacts. This is my 2nd Hyundai. My 2012 Hyundai Tucson was fine. Never thought I'd have this type of problem for my 2012 performs well and is spunky. Not sure what to do. I plan to call dealer to take it in soon to see if they can do something. I thought Hyundai was safe cars too is why I was going for another one. To keep their reputation they need to do something and not keep selling these cars with known problem. I am an experienced driver but new drivers may take chances moving into traffic with this known problem. I some times make sure I have plenty of space before merging into traffic if possible. I hope it doesn't take a fatality for them to seriously look into this problem.

Purchased this car in November 2017. Vehicle has a dual clutch transmission, and has a serious hesitation problem from a standing start when accelerating. Very dangerous situation when making a left turn. Half way thru the turn it hesitates and will not accelerate but then surges forward due to putting more pressure on the gas pedal. Problem is intermittent. I have reported this to the dealer twice already. Both times they have said they can find nothing is wrong. That this is how a dual clutch transmission works. From what we have read this seems to be a common problem with this. Feel that this is definitely a major safety issue.

Tl- the contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated after the accelerator pedal was depressed to operate the vehicle front a stop the vehicle experienced a hesitation. The contact state the hesitation last for approximately one minute. The failure occurred without warning. Advantage Hyundai located 440 plainview rd, hicksville, NY however the failure could not be replicated. The manufacturer was notified of the issue however no further was offered due to the vehicle having a dual clutch and the failure is inherent to the vehicle. The failure mileage was approximately 7000. Kh.

I have taken my car to the dealership 4 times since the purchase of my vehicle in September for the same similar issues all resulting from the dual clutch transmission. The issues have ranged and started will check engine light coming on in November whereas car was running rough and delay in acceleration. They replaced a sensor. 3 days later check engine light came back on again causing low power they replaced engine harness. February again rough idle and car died multiple times while at light and/or parked causing to be restarted service department stated they were not able to duplicate but usual cause is due to dual clutch so they reset dual clutch adaptive valves. March 2nd while sitting in a parking lot in drive I pushed the gas pedal rpms reved to 3-4 and I could hear the engine as if I was driving whereas the car was not moving similar to if the car was in neutral. March 5th after not driving the car for the weekend I was stopped at a red light when the light turned green to make a left turn I accelerated and the car slows down causing cars behind me to slam on breaks to avoid rear ending me. Next day while driving through a residential area going around 10 miles per hour the car jeeves me foward and slows down to almost a dead stop. I took the vehicle back again we're again they said it can not be duplicated and they also stated the car is supposed to slow down when driving drastic speeds often. Almost causing accidents. There is no way myself or any of my children will be driving this car I am terrified of this vehicle and don't feel I should have to risk my families lives for someone to realize something is terribly wrong with my car.

There was a recall from 2016 Tucson for a dual clutch gearbox issue. I am experiencing same issues with 2017. When I take my foot off the brake from a stop and allow the car to idle as slow speed the transmission and car sputters and creates hesitation and jerking when gas pedal is applied. This is a risk of safety especially when making intersection turns. I brought this to the attention of my dealer and they said that no fix exists. Problem has been occurring almost since day 1 and I am currently around 13k miles.

2017 Hyundai tuscon awd limited purchased in March 2017, currently 6000 miles on vehicle. The dual clutch transmission (dct) hunts for correct gears on occasion creating hesitations and stalling effects. Several times (as many as 10+), starting from a dead stop at a light, the car will begin forward progress with normal depression of gas pedal. Power to the wheels will then completely vanish for moments of time (1-2 seconds) then the car will eventually move forward again. I've almost been rear ended twice due to this. I am lucky to not have been t-boned when crossing non-lit busy intersections. Type of gasoline used (regular or premium), drive modes (standard or sport), hard depression of pedal or soft depression of pedal, nothing seems to coincide with the these random occurrences. This is not the typical way a dct should operate. I have driven vw dct vehicles for years and have never had these extremely scary hesitation moments with them.

The dual-clutch transmission is incredibly dangerous, as it has an extreme delayed acceleration when coming off a complete stop or just intermittently while driving, in which the engine will redline in rpm. Parking lots are absolute misery as well, as the vehicle jerks heavily at low speeds. Another shocking issue with this transmission is that it will propel the car forward 3-5 mph even without pressing the gas pedal and going up a hill. It's hard to believe that this transmission is legal to sell to car buyers and I hope the NHTSA takes further action against Hyundai. I've only owned this vehicle less than 2 weeks and I'm going to be out thousands of dollars, as I can't drive this vehicle. I'm currently searching for the best option of remediation; please contact me if you need any additional information. I truly hope Hyundai does not get away with releasing such a dangerous product into their vehicles.

The vehicle has a drive-by-wire system controlling the throttle and the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In certain circumstances, the throttle pedal has no effect on the throttle whatsoever. It happens most in 'eco' mode, but still happens in 'sport' mode, always at a relatively low speed (walking pace) or when accelerating from a stop. The vehicle has had one firmware update (at about 3k miles?) which did minimize the problem somewhat, but didn't eliminate it. At 7,900 miles the problem seems to be getting worse, and the dealer says there are no new firmware updates they are aware of. I am concerned because many times, when in slow or stop-and-go traffic, I've needed to accelerate and the vehicle simply wouldn't do it for what felt like forever, but was probably only a second or two. When the vehicle finally did start to move, it jumped forward at full throttle. The service writer at the dealership says this is a common complaint, and that other customers have also complained, specifically, about trying to pull out of their dealership onto a busy street and had their vehicle simply refuse to accelerate. On just one occasion, the vehicle accelerated at full throttle up to the engine's redline, without my foot on the throttle! as bad as it is, I expect that there have been accidents caused by this problem.

My vehicle has a consistent delay in acceleration and the vehicle stutters whenever I press the accelerator pedal from a stop or when increasing speed while moving slowly. Pressing the accelerator also results in the rpms increasing and delayed acceleration of the vehicle. The delayed acceleration has resulted in me being dangerously stuck in the middle of an intersection on more than one occasion with cars having to go around me. I have been told by the dealer that this is a turbo lag however my issue is described in the recall brochure for dual clutch transmissions that I was told my vehicle is not a part of. All instances have occurred on city streets and have been occuring since I purchased the car new in April 2017.

When the vehicle is at a stop or slowed speed and you go to accelerate there is a failure with the dual clutch and/or turbo engine transmission which delays you from accelerating at an expected speed. The car will hesitate when trying to engage from a stationary position. The engine also will spike the tachometer without increasing speed, creating a revving noise with no forward acceleration. On more than one occasion the gas pedal was pressed to the floor of the vehicle without proper increase of speed. These repetitive errors occur at low speeds/gears. The vehicle was in stopped traffic on the highway and when the gas was pressed to accelerate a few feet the engine revved without moving forward.
