Transmission Shudder Problems of Hyundai Tucson

The transmission shudders and shifts in appropriately. When trying to accelerate the car will not, and leads to very dangerous situations in an intersection. It is as if the car either jumps/shudders or stalls when you hit the gas. Therefore, oncoming traffic can hit you. Most of the issues occur when beginning acceleration from a stop.

After going from park to drive or when trying to accelerate from a stopped position, the vehicle fails to move when the accelerator is pushed. It will stall and has almost led to 2 rear end accident and one side impact accident as a result because it creates a serious safety issue when trying to enter traffic. At times the entire care will shake and the transmission will not shift properly or will not engage and recognize that it is in drive at all. The vehicle has been in the service department over 4 times and for more than 30 days without resolution in the first 6 months of owning the vehicle and less than 12,000 miles but the manufacturer and the dealer have not fixed the issue and say they can't because they cannot replicate the problem. This is a known recall and issue for this vehicle as I found out after some research and the problem is random and unpredictable. This problem occurs when the vehicle has been on a city street and have been stationary for a moment and then when trying to accelerate to drive forward or turn, the vehicle has no power and will not drive forward. The engine will rev up and never turns off, but the vehicle will not engage in drive. I have video of the issue occurring and can share if needed. I have shared the same information with the dealer, owner, and manufacturer without resolution.

Transmission shudders and sometimes fails to engage when stopping and acclerating. On highway when moving to pass the rpm's went to redline and vehicle did not want to move forward. Overheating warnings in city traffic. Vehicle loses power sometimes when transmission is confused when in stop and go traffic. Dct in this vehicle is horrible even with 3rd update from Hyundai. Hyundai says "no problem" with vehicle.

Dealer has tried to fix car three times. At times car will not accelerate at all. Engine rpm will increase but car will not move. Very dangerous. . I take my granddaughter to school and this scares the crap out of me. Especially in intersections. Other times transmission shudders and or jumps out of gear. A complaint has been made by me to Hyundai corporate on Feb 22 2016 I have yet to hear from them this has been going on since the car was new.
