Description of the problem | While at an intersection waiting to turn left, i proceeded to accelerate (car was in sport mode) into the left turn to move through the intersection on a green light before on-coming traffic approached. I requested significant accelerator pedal application to proceed through the turn, likely 3/4 throttle when suddenly the 7spd dual clutch transmission would not shift into 2nd gear. Luckily i was through the intersection and turn and no longer in danger when this happened. The engine was hovering right around 6700rpm and appeared to be hitting a soft limiter and ultimately refused to shift. I left off the gas completely and proceeded to re-apply the throttle when finally the engine revs came back down and re-engage the next gear rather abruptly. After the incident the car appeared to run and shift normally without issue. There appears to be an on-going issue with intermittent transmission engagement with the tucson. I've visited the dealer documenting previous issues with a lack of acceleration and shifting, but hyundai does not address the problem because there is no current fix. The car has all current recalls and tsbs performed relating to the programming of the transmission. |
