Description of the problem | I have a 2016 hyundai tucson sport 1. 6 turbo. It has a dual clutch transmission. Everytime i press the accelerator slowly the car takes 5 seconds to start moving. When it does move the transmission chatters and is not smooth. As i am slowing down , stop, then proceed to go the trans either does not engage or there is a 5 second delay , chatters , and then takes off. It happens every time i drive the car and my wife is afraid to drive it. I afraid to drive it because i think it is going to get stuck in the middle of the road when i am turing. Which it has done at least 10 + times. I almost got hit 6 times. If you look on hyundai forums and youtube it is a widespread complaint. I have called hyundai about the problem and they do not have a fix. It is going into the dealership this thursday 7/28/16. I have over 25 years experience in the automotive industry, and have 15 yrs dealership experience. |
