Description of the problem | 2016 hyundai tucson limited 1. 6t (ultimate pkg) vehicle was purchased brand new may 30 2016. Many times the vehicle has hesitated and/or lurched into gear from a dead stop. The dct transmission hesitates noticeably when accelerating from dead stop. Vehicle had approximately 2,700 miles at the time of the main incident described below (we noticed hesitation in starting from dead stop right from time of purchase and questioned the sales person. He stated that was due the dct and we needed to get used to driving this type of vehicle). The vehicle was on an interstate exit ramp at a complete stop with the drivers foot on the break, when driver took his foot of the break to step on the accelerator the vehicle began to roll back and would not go forward, so the driver stepped harder on the accelerator, when the dct and transmission finally engaged the vehicle lurched sharply forward and the tires screeched loudly. (this basically felt as if the vehicle was preforming a neutral slam). When at a dead stop the dct clutches periodically will not engage the transmission, it's like the car is in neutral and then it will start to move. I have now seen more the 160 similar complaints on the |
