Description of the problem | This suv is incredibly dangerous. The dct(dual clutch transmission) does not engage correctly and will buck and stall when trying to accelerate from a slow down or stop. I have had to slam my foot on the gas and it will still not engage timely or safely. It was brought in for a recall but the issue continues . The dealership states there is no other fix for this. I have been beeped at by other drivers that had to swerve to get out of my way so they didn't hit me when the car does this. I have literally been in an intersection when this happens, and then the car will just take off. I barely drive the car anymore because of. This. I am afraid for our lives. My friends and family refuse to drive anywhere with this car because it is so unsafe. I have contacted hyundai. Waiting on resolution, but these cars have so many complaints they need to remove the 2016 tuscan from the road. This is seriously dangerous. This is my 6th hyundai and i love buying hyundai but never again if this is not resolved. This has been happening since i bought it in november of 2016. |
