Description of the problem | I purchased a 2017 hyundai tucson december 2016. The following campaigns are on my vehicle and hundreds of thousands of other hyundai's: mfr campaign/safety recall notice: t1b manufacturer campaign id: t1b 2016-17 tucson dct control logic update i took my vehicle to hyundai on june 28th for this recall. Right away i noticed a change in how the vehicle drove. However not even a month later the vehicle started driving like it did prior to the "fix". A complete stop to acceleration is not smooth, the vehicle jerks extremely hard and sometimes doesn't respond. Other times it doesn't reapond and then all of a sudden the vehicle takes off. Trying to accelerate to merge onto the freeway or into any flow of traffic is almost impossible without a close call with another vehicle. This car is unsafe and scary to drive. Not to mention driving in stop and go traffic has become a "when will i cause an accident" moment because of the stop to acceleration lag, jerk and then random acceleration which almost redlines. I have never been in a car accident and i can tell you this vehicle is unsafe for all those on the highway, including myself and the vehicle has become a complete nuisance to drive. My understanding is hyundai has claimed they have fixed this issue with a simple update, and the 2017s should be okay, however the way my vehicle drives would arguably disagree and prove that to be wrong. Hyundai needs to open a full recall of these vehicles until the problem is resolved before people get killed because of it. If not those deaths will be on hyundais hands. |
