Description of the problem | My 2016 tucson has 58500 miles on it. Never had a problem until recently, in stop and go traffic the car bucks and feels like it will stall, that i could deal with however, it also became unreliable when i was taking off from a red light, stop sigh etc. I would step on the gas and the car would not move forward i have lost count how many times it has done this since the end of march. I can tell you i narrowly avoided being hit at least 3 times over the last couple of months. I have brought it into my hyundai dealer and the first time they told me they needed to duplicate what i was telling them. After a few hours i got a call and was told they could not duplicate the issue, so they checked for any diagnostic issues found none so to "keep me happy" they did a dual clutch relearn. I took the car home and really noticed very little difference then within a couple of weeks it started repeating the bucking and not moving forward from a complete stop no matter how far down i pressed the gas pedal. I brought the car back to hyundai and for the last 2 days they say they have not been able to duplicate the problem. I am due to pick up my car from them tomorrow and they will have done nothing even though they know i am a loyal customer and have never had a complaint prior to this, and even though they told me there are known issues with this car and what i am describing. I no longer feel safe driving this car especially with my 8-year-old grandson with me (i drive him every day to specialists). |
