Description of the problem | I am filing a complaint regarding the hyundai tucson 2016. I purchased this vehicle in may 2016. I notice that it often revved up to 5000 rpm at 2-5miles and would not move then suddenly lurch. This happened for months, i called the dealer and they brushed off. Two weeks ago while trying to merge on the highway, i pressed the gas but the car would not move only revved then out of nowhere it launched and almost hit another car. Then today, it literally went dead? Dead! While driving at 25 mph on fordham rd (a busy street the bronx) the car slowly lost power and stopped for 2-3 seconds. Then start up again. This car is a death trap!!! Some one could have run in the back of my car. I have been to the dealer twice and they claimed to fix the dct but that's crap. Hyundai who has done nothing and they know this vehicle is unsafe. I cant even drive my 2 yr goddaughter in this thing. I think hyundai is waiting for someone to die. They need to stop selling this car immediately and refund everyone's money. |
