Description of the problem | My 2016 hyundai tucson eco dct has a dangerous random "shudder/hesitation" safety problem that needs to be resolved.*dt a "shudder / hesitation" randomly occurs at slower speeds. I've brought up my concern each time i have had my vehicle in for regularly scheduled service. I have only 28000 miles on it. The mechanics report that "it didn't occur for them, or show-up on their computer, so they say they can't do anything about it". I've explained each time that it occurs randomly, and mostly at slow speed when slowly coming to a stop, when parking pulling in or out of a space or driveway, at stop signs either slowly stopping, or proceeding forward at a light or intersection, and sometimes when trying to turn into the flow of traffic. I am positive that hyundai is very aware of what the problem is with the 2016 tucson eco dct. I recently received a letter from hyundai referring to a 'proposed class action settlement', but it was expired already ! I mentioned there were over 300 complaints of a similar "shudder / hesitation" on one web site alone! This is a dangerous problem that could result in a rear end or intersection collision because of the "shudder / hesitation" that occurs randomly. I have passenger witnesses as well. There is definately a dangerous safety defect causing a "shudder" in the 2016 tucson eco dct that needs to be resolved. I was given a hyundai complaint dept. Number to call, and i reported the problem. The claim administrator seemed quite aware of similar complaints. He gave me a claim number, and said he would call me back monday, to 'set up another service appointment', and "arrange for a specialist" to be there. I received a call on wednesday, and was now informed "there was nothing more he could do", and he was "closing out my case number, and suggested i just bring it to the dealer again", and re-file a new claim# ! |
