In summer of 2019 I noticed left rear passenger window stopped functioning. A few months later, right passenger door started not opening from the outside. Fast forward 3 months later, driver wide window stopped functioning and now a few short weeks later the left rear passenger door will no longer open from the outside. I have tried operating the windows that aren't working while the vehicle was stationary and also while moving. The doors obviously have only been attempted to be open while stationary and in park. I believe this to be a possible electrical issue? but I also believe this is a major safety concern and not normal wear and tear. Consumer stated she now has 3 doors and 2 windows that are not working properly. Dealership has been contacted.

The doors at times will not open, power windows will not go down. Vehicle hesitates when driving. When unlocking doors with remote, doors lock back on their own.

While stopped at a stop sign I let off the brake and hit the gas and the car did not want to move it seemed like it was in neutral and once it starts moving the car starts jerking and slips from 1 to 2nd gear. Same thing has happened at traffic lights, and merging into traffic. After taking it to the dealer and reprogramming the computer it will still do it. The car has 56K miles on it and it seems to be doing it more often now. I really didn't think anyone else had this issue, but after reading up on it, it seems to be a common issue on the 1.6 turbo Tucson. Also the rear brake lights seem to stop working and all of a sudden just work as if anything was wrong. This has happened a few times as well. I'm afraid we're are going to get into an accident because of this.

The problem occurred when the vehicle was parked; the doors automatically unlocked when I put the vehicle in park but when the passengers tried to leave through the rear driver's side door it would not open from inside. I tried opening the handle from outside thinking it was child locks but the door would not open that way either. Both handles move but nothing happens, and I have made sure the lock is fully unlocked. Mechanic says it is power lock actuator. There is no way for me to open this door without specific tools. Nothing has hit the door inside or outside.

Rear passenger door will not open when unlocked with either outside handle nor inside handle without jarring door. Safety issue due to not being able to get children out of carseat
- Mabelvale, AR, USA
Power door locks/door actuators stop working which prevents door from opening from the inside or outside on both rear doors and front passenger door. Doors would remain locked after driving making it impossible to get out of vehicle for any passengers.

Something is wrong with breaks. It doesn't fully stopped the car when I press down on the pads. I have to press twice down for the car to stop. Driver windows power windows sometimes when I am trying to close the windows it actually goes down.

The car when at a stop, you go to press the gas pedal to take off and there is a delay in the car actually acknowledging and taking off to accelerate. It has happened a few times periodically and it is now becoming more frequent

The contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the brake lights would not operate if the headlights were activated. The brake lights only worked when the headlights were off. In addition, "brake light out" appeared on the instrument panel. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was 45,000.

When I push the acceleration from a complete stop the vehicle will not accelerate. It also jerks when slowing down from gear 2 to 1.this happens a lot on the city street or when in traffic and has almost caused wrecks multiple times. I have taken it to a machanic and they replaced the spark plugs and coils but the vehicle is still doing this and I am unable to drive it in fear of a crash until find out if this is the same recall from other 2016 Hyundai Tucson transmission electrical system maybe. Appreciate your help.

I purchased this vehicle new in 2016. Until now, the only issue has been accelerating from a stop, like everyone else. Now, the doors are not operating properly. In March 2019, the front passenger door stopped opening from the outside. It would unlock/lock, but the outside handle would not operate and open the door the inside handle did operate. Hyundai repaired/replaced the part under my extended warranty for $50. In April 2019, the back passenger door failed. This time it would not operate from the inside or outside. The dealer tried to make me wait wks from an appt, but this is a real safety issue with passengers/children in the back seat. What if there was an accident? I inquired about recalls, especially with passengers not being able to get out of the car, but was shut down by the mechanic. A quick google search suggests I'm not the only person with this issue.

I purchased the 2016 Hyundai Tucson in October 2015. The following year I noticed that sometimes when I'm stopped and go to accelerate, my car will not go anywhere for a few seconds then it takes off. This is very dangerous when it comes to pulling out onto a busy street. It didn't happen often but has gotten worse over the years. Now lately, I have been getting 'check bsd system' warnings. This happened once one day and then increased significantly since. Now my car will give that warning, acts like it shuts off, and wont go anywhere and I'll have to restart my car. Or sometimes it will be in 2nd or 3rd gear and that warning will pop up and immediately shift to 0. after this happens there are 5-6 warning lights that light up on the dash board, including the check engine light. This has progressed over the last 3 days, ultimately making my car not drivable. I am taking it in tomorrow. Every time this happens I've been in 'drive' and either stopped at a light or evening in motion.
