Description of the problem | Originally posted to this website on or about 6/13/16. Stopped at red light on a city street, the car would not move forward when accelerator depressed. Engine rev'ed to 4-5k but car failed to move. Put car in neutral and then tried again. Sat thru 3 red lights before car would go forward. It was very jerky and hesitant then car picked up speed. This was second time this has happened. First time i thought maybe i had hit the brake and not gas pedal. Drove immediatel to dealer and told them of issue. They have had my car since june 10, 2016. Service tech was able to actually capture on video (while test driving) my gear shift in drive and car moving in reverse. Hyundai usa, the dearlership and myself have been in frequent contact. Hyundai has no idea why this is happening. The car is not safe to drive. They say the korean engineers are investigating. When i orginally posted on this website there i could only find this type of issue for a 2015 tuscon. I note today there are multiple complaints identical to mine. This car is less than one year old (owned ) with less than 17k miles. Inability to control directional motion or speed when it does move is not safe to myself or others. Majority of my driving is at highway speeds . |
