Description of the problem | After stopping, when you press the gas, the vehicle does not move forward it hesitates severely for a few seconds. The engine rpms pick up but no forward movement. In fact, if you are on a slight uphill grade, the vehicle will begin to drift back. This occurs in regular driving mode - not eco or sport. It happens intermittently and is totally unpredictable. This has happened multiple times and the last time was about 3:30 pm on 05/13/2018 in the 1. 5 to 2 second delay that vehicle should have moved 55 to 73 feet! And i am sure that is what any vehicle behind the tuscon would expect as well. This is a huge safety issue when in traffic and other vehicles are behind you. I spent 15 years in fire & rescue and have seen a number of rear-end accidents. This is an accident waiting to happen with a 55 to 73 feet delay zone. |
