Clutch Pedal/linkage Problems of Hyundai Tucson - part 1

I have the 2018 tuscon limited 1. 6t dct with no more than 12,000 miles. When accelerating from a stop or accelerating after braking and pressing the gas pedal normally, the car stops accelerating and the car slows down. This also happens after coming to a stop and turning onto a different street. When it happened to my wife she pulled over into the center turning lane, because the car would not accelerate and there were cars turning behind her. I have taken it in to have it serviced and they either applied an update or reset the transmissions computer; however, a few hundred miles later and it's doing it again. My wife is concerned that this will happen one day and will cause an accident; she said she does not feel safe driving this car anymore. My first vehicle was a manual and I know how a manual drives and how they accelerate after shifting. I understand that a dct may have similar behaviors. However, this would be similar to someone holding in the clutch on a manual and not being able to shift gears, grinding them, causing the vehicle to not accelerate and any vehicle behind them to stop or slow down suddenly. We love the car, but the transmission makes us feel unsafe and hopefully we do not get into an accident due to this dct issue. I have also contacted Hyundai directly about this and I am supposed to be receiving a call from Hyundai consumer affairs in 3-5 business days.

Bought new. Vehicle has acceleration issues. Rpms skyrocket. If on downward slope, car will roll into intersection upon depressing pedal. On upward hill, car will hesitate, then suddenly jerk and take off. I have a rolled into an intersection trying to cross a 2-lane roadway and the car stopped. I have mentioned to dealership and they just say it's the way the dual clutch works. The dealership has done a factory reset. I will be good for about a day. Still no acceleration when needing to merge with traffic. This is a dangerous situation and feel Hyundai needs to come up with a solution to fix these vehicles before someone loses a family member. I don't want it to be one of mine! or do a recall.

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.

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.

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.

Same dual clutch problem as on 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Hesitates for several seconds prior to engaging which causes significant danger in oncoming traffic. I had this same problem with the 2016 and Hyundai continued to deny any known problems. Now there is a class action lawsuit regarding this issue. I traded my 2016 in for the 2018 to get away from the problem because I was so scared. Now I have the same problem with the new car. This problem is ongoing. Also I was coasting with foot not on the pedal and not in cruise control and the rpm's shot up to 4200 then down to normal, then back up to 2200 and then back to normal. Very scary. Had clutch engaged car would have shot forward into car in front of me. Dealer has acknowledged trouble with both problems and informed me that Hyundai has switched clutch manufacturers.

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.

My 2016 Tucson has 58500 miles on it. Never had a problem until recently, in stop and go traffic the car bucks and feels like it will stall, that I could deal with however, it also became unreliable when I was taking off from a red light, stop sigh 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. I can tell you I narrowly avoided being hit at least 3 times over the last couple of months. I have brought it into my Hyundai dealer and the first time 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 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).

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.

Dual clutch automatic transmission started having problems around 5k miles. The car has 15k currently. The following problem occurs about 2-3 time daily under normal driving 10-20 miles per day on surface routs. From stop to accelerating in 1st gear there is a much longer than safe lag time between the gas pedal being depressed to the car actually gaining in speed. It seems like the transmission is in neutral and then shifts hard into first gear. It does not matter how lightly or firmly the pedal is depressed. It is a large concern for me and my family that the car will not accelerate or perform as expected when the gas pedal is depressed. We have taken the vehicle to the dealership with no results or improvements. They stated that all Hyundai/ kia dual clutch automatic transmissions have that problem- stating that we should deal with it or trade to another vehicle.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.
