Description of the problem | This is my 2nd hyundai tucson 1. 6l turbo limited w ultimate package. The first 2016 hyundai tucson limited was repurchased by hyundai motor america with only 9k miles on it for the same issue everyone else is experiencing. My 2nd tucson has 32k miles on it and it's been in the service department numerous occasions for the same reason everyone else has mentioned. The car hesitates when i press on the accelerator as if it is has gone into neutral, then all of a sudden it will lurch forward giving you whiplash. I am so tired of being 'stonewalled' by hyundai - look at all these complaints for the same issue and where is hyundai? Where is their response? I'm tired of the service department telling me they can't duplicate my concern when i show them a video of exactly what it's doing. This reminds of the pinto disasters back in the 70's. How many people have to die before hyundai accepts responsibility for a poorly designed engine transmission combination. How many people? I'm so tired of this that i want to hire an attorney - this is negligence on hyundai's part, they are just waiting to see how many people die before they react. Look up 2017 hyundai tucson, the problem continues - so removing 'eco' mode in 2017, didn't resolve the issue. Anyone who would like to talk about their issue or would be interested in filing a lawsuit against hyundai - please call me at [xxx] or email me at [xxx] it's about time we stand up and fight back - this can't continue. Why does someone always have to die before car manufacturers react to a situation? Please call me [xxx] or [xxx] my name is [xxx] and i'm a 2x 2016 hyundai tucson owner, so i have every right to talk about my experiences when it comes to this vehicle. I've been through the process once before, so let's do it again. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
