Description of the problem | I purchesed my new 2016 hyundai tuscon turbo in feb. I have had nothing but problems with it. It has always been sluggish on accelartion and at times won't move at all after a stop. It has had numerous "updates" for the transmision with no success. At times it will roll backwards when in drive as if it is in neutral while at drive thrus or on an incline . It remained in the shop for one of the times for more than 30 days. A hyundai engineer has inspected my car and says that there is nothing wrong it. All of the issues i have had are not normal, and they agree but state that there is nothing wrong with it. The service dept have driven my car and agree that it still has the hesitation, but say their hands are tied until hyundai has a solution. It doesn't throw a code on any of the issues. It has even died while driving down the road. It has been in the shop repeatedly for the same issues. Now, this last time, i am getting a battery discharge warning while driving down the highway. It is now back in the shop for that issue along with the same sluggish delayed acceleartion. I am 100% unhappy with this purchase. I see where hundai is making a recall, but i am unsure if this new update is any different from the other two my suv has already had. This car is unsafe to drive and certainly has major issues. |
