Description of the problem | I have a 2016 tucson limited - purchased 2/2016... Has 2700 miles on it. The transmission has always been "jumpy" but last week and the week before i was in traffic at a signal and when i went to accelerate nothing happened. The rpm's went up to 6000 rpm but the car would not move... It was very scary and i came so close to getting hit. I had people coming toward me and behind me going 40 mph. I kept pressing the pedal and it finally took off... I took it to the dealer the first time and they could not replicate it and they said there was no known issue. I took it again yesterday and they gave me a rental and they called today and said they did a 'software update' and its fixed. I will see how it goes. But it will be hard to ever drive this car with any confidence again. |
