Power Train owner reports: Hyundai Tucson years in the records

The records describe a possible crash, fire, injury, or loss of control.

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY SOMETIMES. ON ONE OCCASION, IN A SHOPPING PLAZA PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED, AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN. THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE TWICE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK AND BACK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO AN INSURANCE BODY SHOP TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.”

The records describe a possible crash, fire, injury, or loss of control.

“THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE ON A CIRCLE CAUSING ME AND ANOTHER VEHICLE TO COLLIDE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR INTO THE SHOP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE FIRST TIME AT 150 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND CONTINUING FOR OVER A YEAR, EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT NO PROBLEM EXISTS OR EXISTED, NEITHER HYUNDAI NOR THE DEALERSHIP WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN INHERENT SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS 7 SPEED TRANSMISSION, THIS VEHICLE DECELERATES, HESITATES FROM A STOP AND DOES NOT ALWAYS HANDLE IN A SAFE MANNER. I AM EXTREMELY CAREFUL AND COGNIZANT OF THESE ISSUES WHEN I AM DRIVING ALWAYS TAKING EXTRA PRECAUTIONS HOWEVER, IN THIS INSTANCE THAT SLIGHT HESITATION IN ACCELERATION WAS ENOUGH TO PRODUCE SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE , SUBSTANTIAL MONETARY LOSS AND INJURY.”

The records describe a possible crash, fire, injury, or loss of control.

“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 Core Symptoms: "The high-pressure fuel pump is leaking internally. Raw gasoline is flooding into the engine oil crankcase, causing severe fuel dilution. The engine air filter is physically soaked in raw fuel and smells strongly of gasoline." My engine is always extremely hot after I have only went 15 mins away from home. Sometimes takes over two hours to cool down. The Safety Risk: "When attempting to accelerate, the vehicle experiences severe fuel starvation, causing the engine to bog down and act like it is going to stall in the middle of traffic, creating a severe crash hazard. Additionally, there is a loud 'popping' sound/mini-backfire upon turning the vehicle off due to unburnt fuel vapors, presenting a high risk of an underhood engine fire. I have only 83,000 miles on my car.”
