Description of the problem | In november 2017 i purchased a 2016 hyundai tuscon. Apparently, the vehicle has a "dual clutch transmission" dct. Recently while backing out of my driveway and then putting the car in drive and pushing the accelerator the vehicle lunged jerking myself and my daughter. This is not the first time this has occurred. In addition while in traffic the vehicle will begin to shudder until near stall. This is both scary and alarming. The shuddering occurs when either rolling forward, accelerating the gas, or sitting idle. This has become a serious concern as my car just does not respond to the acceleration at all at times. This is becoming increasing scary and unstable in my opinion. I have been to the dealership twice now and get no real answers except that the car checks out fine and they cannot duplicate the issue. I have searched for recalls on this issue and found on "car complaints" there is a recall on this year, make and model yet hyundai has no information on this. I will be calling the manufacturer to complain. I am sick to my stomach about this. Purchased this car for stability and security on the road and now i am stuck with it. Sellers should have to disclose the dual clutch transmission to buyers. Period! |
