The vehicles transmission sputters and takes 2-4 seconds to accelerate. This consistently happens both from a dead stop and at low speeds. This transmission/ dual clutch lag has almost caused at least 3 accidents. On 2 separate occasions the car almost stalled while making a left turn at an intersection, causing a near missed T-bone accident. The 3rd close call was almost being rear ended and not being able to accelerate away. Luckily, no accident had occurred yet but this transmission issue is without question a safety risk. I have brought the car to the Hyundai service department and have been told that this is common with the dual clutch system and nothing is wrong with the car. I'm sure this is not the first complaint as I have found a plethora if online forums on this particular issue with my exact year and make vehicle. This issue has and will continue to cause accidents until resolved.

Vehicle throttle body sticks and causes hesitation when accelerating from a stationary position. This is a serious safety concern when turning in front of on coming traffic or cross at an intersection. This make, model, year vehicle has been recalled for this issue, but not every vehicle manufactured during the year “2017” was recalled, as my vehicle does not show up as a recall.
A couple of months ago, my car came to an abrupt stop in the middle of the freeway, Had I not been close to the shoulder, I could have been crushed to death. I was shortly notified through mail that my particular car year and model had several factory safety recalls and to take into service immediately. I booked immediately and their first available spot was January 3rd, 2022. The car was kept for couple of days and I picked it up on the 6th. I was told by the service advisor at Hyundai Van Nuys that everything was taken care of. Today, just 4 days later my car comes to a near halt yet again in the middle of the freeway, this time with my 9 month old baby in the car seat. The hood of my vehicle was smoking.

Engine oil consumption, engine noise, loss of power, no acceleration, shaking while under acceleration, while under acceleration stalling, engine failure.
The driver side door suddenly will not open with the key fob or the key. There is no damage to my door and I have kept it well maintained. I feel this is a faulty issue that Hyundai should repair because it is not fault of my own.
At 104k miles, the check engine light came on and car was bucking and rattling while accelerating. Engine is malfunctioning and causing car to not accelerate properly by not going when gas pedal is pressed or rpm’s going higher than normal to just start driving from a stop. This is scary on highways or when stopped and have to make a turn or at a signal. Had a self mechanic run the check engine light which was spark plugs and coils and those are changed. He ran other tests and stated the cylinder compression was effected on the third one and is misfiring. Car is well taken care of and routine maintenance done. No inspection done beside this.

The vehicle started to having loss of power problem when reaching around at the speed of 60mph in highway. Due to this problem, the acceleration suddenly dropped sometime and i was not able to keep up with the flowing highway traffic and this highly risked my vehicle from being hit by the behind vehicle. This has put mine and other drivers safety at higher risk. Later after few weeks the engine warning light popped up on my dashboard. I checked my vehicle VIN in NHTSA website and found my vehicle have a recall related to the engine failure so took my vehicle to the nearest dealership but they also showed fault on something else and asked around $4000 to fix it all. I could not do it due to higher cost but they took $200 for diagnostic fees. They did not fix my recall too.
The transmission completely disengages and there is 0 power to the car, it just coasts for about 6 seconds and the car slows down. It happens after a turn from a stop, and at slower speeds around 20 - 30 MPH. You push the gas pedal, and nothing happens, the engine does not rev and you just coast (and slow down). If this happens when I’m pulling out in traffic making a left it could be deadly. I promise you there will be accidents due to this defect and I would imagine some people will die because of it. This happens regularly, it is not a one-time incident. I just bought the vehicle a month ago and it's happened 10 to 20 times.

The engine started making a knocking sound when I left home going to work. I thought that I may have gotten some bad gasoline. No lights were showing on the dash. I work about 30 miles away from home. A few miles away from work the knocking sound increased and still no warning lights on my dash. As I got close to work, less than a mile away, the knocking got extremely loud and the check engine light came on when I pulled in to work. I cannot drive this car and I was afraid that I would be stranded on the road somewhere or the engine may catch on fire because I could smell a burnt odor. A mechanic came to my work place and said he thought that the engine would need rebuilding or replacing. Why Hyundai would have a check engine light finally come on after the engine was about fall apart is just stupid.
Car shakes and sputters from 0 to 3 miles an hour. Sounds like the transmission will fall out
All of a sudden the passenger rear door cannot be opened either unlocked manually or with the remote. I believe it is the actuator. Online forums say this is a huge problem and also a safety risk. If a person cannot exit the vehicle in an emergency this is unacceptable.

I am filing a complaint regarding my 2017 Hyunda Tucson engine; I am very concerned about the recall 209 that was released in September 2021, 3 months ago, regarding an engine recall due of premature wear of the connecting rod bearings that can cause engine fire. My vehicle has had significant oil consumption issues for the last 1.5 years, causing me to have to put oil in the car regularly between oil changes, irregular engine noise, oil pressure light illumination as well as engine hesitation and stalling. Each of these things are related to the symptoms cited as an engine issue related to recall 209. There is no remedy available for this issue and no timeline for when one will be released. It is extremely concerning to be driving a vehicle with an engine that may catch fire and I have had zero success in gaining more information from my local dealership or Hyundai Customer Care Center.
I got a email for Recall ID 21V727 because my car has been in shop numorous times because of the duel clucth stalling out. I call NHTSA and they made an appointment for my car on my behalf because i have the issue of the car stalling at slow speeds in a intersection almost getting in car accidents and its been happening for like 2 years now and i have had my suv in the shop over 5 times to try ti fix. NHTSA told me when i take my car there and they determine my car is part of the recall that Hyuandai must add my VIN # to the recall to get fixed. When i took my SUV there hyundai told me they cant look at that because they cant add vin numbers to the recall only NHTSA can do that. So after NHTSA made the appointment for me and waiting over 2 months for my appointment when i tool my car there they told me that was wrong and they can not look at my car. So i left and i still have the same problem. Is this gonna be fixed because i get in a car accident or someone dies. Thank You

Engine started to make a strange noise and wasn't accelerating like normal, there were no dashboard warning or indocation lights. Less than 24 hours later while driving to a mechanic it got significantly worse within minutes of starting and than while driving on the highway a loud kind of snapping noise occured. The vehicle was not able to accelerate and the engine was completely deadlined and had to be coasted into a lot from an off ramp putting myself and others on the road at risk. A trail of oil was visible from where it had coasted and then below it after it got towed. It was taken to the closest mechanic who informed me there was a hole in the engine block and that the vehicle had a recall. It was then taken to a hyundai dealership where it was verbally mentioned that the vehicle broke due to a recall but since then the only statement has been that it would be repaired under warranty and no diagnosis has been provided.

2017 Hyundai Tucson is part of engine recalls 209 & 966. Car purchased through Carvana begin of May, after initial recall issued but unaware car was impacted. All that is listed on recall page is CAMP 966 - ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC - VARIOUS MODELS which most certainly does not indicate a major issue or immediate need to address. In August, took car in for oil change and almost immediately had the engine fail. The oil change establishment sent to an automotive garage of their choosing to have replaced. At that time the latest and most severe recall was not yet in place. On November 18, quite rapidly, below warning signs and issues were experienced creating a very dangerous situation. * Abnormal (knocking) noise from the engine * Reduced engine power and/or hesitation * Illumination of the Check Engine warning light * Illumination of engine oil pressure warning light * A burning smell, oil leaking, and/or smoke (all of the above) This the led to stranded on the side of road with smoking, dangerous vehicle. Had to have car towed to the nearest dealership Red Rock Grand Junction which then said couldn’t do anything due to not following initial recall for software. Contacted Hyundai customer service repeatedly to try and remedy situation. Finally case manager stated engine repair would begin immediately, but dealership stated would only start after paying $300 for new battery; battery that worked when car was towed. When stated as much, then again told weren’t responsible for replacing engine due to failure to install the software. Nowhere in the campaign information does it state that this is a requirement. Hyundai had created a very dangerous situation and is refusing to remedy based on loophole leaving people stranded with unusable fire hazard cars by no fault of their own.
to whom it may concern , I have a 2017 Hyundai Tucson that has really bad and scary engine and transmission issues , this car has had a recall to fix constant bucking of the engine at slow speeds and even after the recall it went right back to the same behavior and has now developed slow acceleration and has even attempted to stall on the highway during lane changes , it is the only car I have and I have had really difficult times with it and the dealership has once again told me that they have no loaners available and that they likely will need a few days to diagnose the issues if any. the latest problem is a rapid rpm acceleration that despite the speed being under 45 it causes a screen to pop up that states (transmission temp high stop safely) flooded at random by another message saying( a condition with your engine control system has been detected and a full system check is recommended at your convenience) along with that , the air conditioner shuts off at random and fills the car with humid smelly air. they refuse to do anything @ the dealership except give excuses as these warnings and car behaviors come and go as they please and without the evidence they can't fix what is not visibly broken. as a struggling American I can't receive the treatment other makers give their customers and Hyundai has turned their back on American import buyers , and until someone dies this will not become a recall or a problem for them , so with that said , I am hoping that nhtsa can look into these issues as they are scattered throughout many forums and if something happens to me with this car that I am afraid of driving without a choice as I am a contractor for the ny tri state area, I now have this letter as proof of my complaint . ps , this car is readily available to be driven by any of your investigators if you desire to look further into this . I hope this letter can save some poor college kid or family from injury or the dangers of this car

when I am in heavy traffic where I am constantly stopping and going the car hesitates, like it is going to stall. When i push on the accelerator the car makes noises and doesn't accelerate like it should. When I accelerate to get on the highway it does the same thing.

This vehicle is lagging or hesitating when shifting in the lower gears while driving. The vehicle hesitates to accelerate and the RPMs raise to approx. 3000-3500 before shifting into the next gear. This is especially dangerous when turning from an intersection. The vehicle does not malfunction like this every time. There does not seem to be a pattern with when or why the vehicle does this, it is kind of random.
