Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2016 hyundai tucson which i purchased this fall and have approximately 25,000 miles on it. I am reporting the same problem that over 50 others have on this site. It is a 1. 6 liter turbo with the dcvt transmission. Starting about 5 weeks ago i have been having a problem with the transmission not engaging. When it started, i was stopped in traffic at a light and i was in drive with no special mode. I took my foot off the brake and the vehicle being on a slight incline started to roll backwards. I had to rev the rpms up what looked like to be over 3000 to get the car to go forward. I took it to the dealer where i purchased, sheehy hyundai in waldorf, md and they checked it over and said they could not find anything. Has happened 4 additional times. This is a bad situation, about two weeks ago i was leaving a gas station, idling out to a side road that had a slight incline, and again i took my foot off the brake while waiting at the intersection, and again instead of going forward, the vehicle rolled backward and this time i stopped the vehicle, putting it in park, and shut it off hoping it was just something electronic. I restarted and had to again rev the rpms way up so to avoid over revving and having the vehicle jump, i put it into 1st gear manually and was able to move forward, but i noticed it was jerky starting out. About an hour later during continuous driving with some stop starts, i was at a light which had turned red and was waiting for it to change. When it did and i started to go, with the vehicle in drive it again would not go. I again had to rev it up significantly to get it to start rolling forward. I again took it to sheehy and they had it for three days. They said they went though it diagnostically as much as they could and checked the fluid, but still could not find anything wrong. On tuesday i was coming . |
