This issue recur after the first incident that made us go back and forth to the dealership 3yrs ago. Hyundai of seattle should have a full record of this issue. Recently then, our car shows similar issues. The car is slow to accelerate from stop to go. Does not pick up accelerations when you step on the gas. On inclined or climb, engine has a hard time and seems to shake a bit then steady itself after 2 mins as you step in the gas to keep it in motion

This evening me and my fianc were driving 45mph down hill on a straight road to get christmas gifts, and all of a sudden out of no where the engine just died/stalled (no warning/dashboard lights). Thank god we were able to coast into a gas station and get off the road safely. The car wouldn't even turn over, so my fianc checked the oil and it was low. The car doesn't leak oil and we do oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously. We carry extra oil in case an oil warning light appears so we added oil to correct fill level. To no luck the car still wouldn't turn over. As it is Saturday night and tomorrow being Sunday we have to wait till Monday morning to get the car to a Hyundai dealer to be assessed by them. Hopefully they will come to the conclusion that the car burns oil out of no where and that the cars oil warning/pressure light is malfunctioning/faulty. In finding that I am hoping the dealer will honor my warranty and replace my engine.

My car was making a low, rumbling noise when I accelerated. It started getting louder and as I pulled off the highway, the check engine light came on, my vehicle lost power and smoke started coming from the hood of my car. When I got out of my car and walked away from it, I could see a fire had started under the car around the engine. My car was quickly engulfed in flames as I waited for emergency services to respond. As a result, my vehicle was totaled and I lost all of my personal belongings in my car

The engine is burning oil, there are no leaks and no dashboard warning lights. On 12/5/19, mechanic found a dry dip stick and removed less than 1 quart oil from the engine and examined for leaks. Oil changes are in regular 5,000-6,000 intervals using synthetic 5W30 oil and this issue was not found at the last oil change on 4/11/19. Oil was checked on 12/8/19 and the oil below is already below full.

- Owings Mills, MD, USA

The vehicle is well maintained and the last oil change at 52,000 miles had no warning lights and the tech said there was no oil. It was just about 5,000 miles since last oil change. Search shows this is a far too common problem.

2016 Hyundai Tucson does not accelerate or reverse does not accelerate when in motion, does not reverse

Recently bought 2016 Hyundai Tucson limited and the car has 29,000 miles on it. When in traffic and remove my foot from the brake the car with shake as it is about to stall out and then finally kick in and start moving forward normally. I've tried to pull out into traffic and had the car stall for a second before going forward. I don't feel safe pulling out unless I have enough time for the other car to stop just in case the car does stall out. I was told by the deal that the good news is the car is supposed to act like this. Dealers seem to know about this issue but since the computer doesn't throw up a flag they don't do anything about it.

There is an acceleration recall on some of the 2016 Tucson's my VIN does not show up on there but I'm having the exact problems that they're recalling the car for I go to the dealership and they say that my car is fine but it isn't. I've been stuck in an intersection several times I've had my car make this grinding sound when I apply the gas from a stop and my car is sitting there. Others that have driven with me have witness this happened but the dealership hasn't been able to recreate the problem. This happens from a stop example if I'm at a stoplight apply the brakes to go and the car makes a grinding sound or sometimes when I'm going around a corner after a stop it will hesitate and I'll be stuck in the intersection

My vehicle stalls when I hit the gas. Has trouble switching gears.

- Chicago, IL, USA

Vehicle delay to accelerate. Rpms go up to 5000 before acceleration kicks in. Also lag time from stop to 20 miles per hour in stop-and-go traffic it would lunge forward. Also with accelerating on a hill it would roll backwards before going forward capturing gas. I have seen other reports on this vehicle with same issues. It is very unsafe. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership turbo was replaced I'm still waiting for a full report

- Edmonds, WA, USA

The vehicle stalls while, from a stop, trying to merge into traffic. It seems to be a well known issue with this vehicle and the dealer told me just learn how to drive it. We have almost been hit several times due to this defect and my wife refuses to drive the Tucson. Hyundai too knows of this issue and has had no recall for this issue. I understand there has also been law suits for the lemon law against this vehicle but, the deep pockets of Hyundai's corporate lawyers always wins out. Do people have to become seriously injured or perhaps dead before a recall happens? the date below reflects the last time I was almost hit because the car started to move and then stopped.

- Damascus, OR, USA

This has happened on three occasions, when sitting idle and about to accelerate to turn into traffic, my car has stalled, shook and almost stopped. In one instance my car was in park when I stopped to take something out of my vehicle. Upon putting in drive, the engine revved and but did not move the vehicle. Two times almost resulted in an accident with my children in the vehicle!! these instances happened this week, dating 8/17/12019 - 8/19/2019 at approx 23,000 miles on the odometer. Once in our residential neighborhood, once on a very busy 4 lane highway.
