problem #4

Apr 042018

Tucson Limited

  • Automatic transmission
  • 50,000 miles

My car struggles to get going from a stop. It acts as though it is in neutral and the engine will rev but will not engage right away when pressing the gas, and then will suddenly jerk forward. At slower speeds it will stutter and feel like it is going to stall, the way it would feel driving with a stick - only my car is an automatic.

Check engine light came on three times. Dealer reset boost sensor, replaced boost sensor, replaced terminal boost sensor plugs into. Check engine light no longer on but car will shudder/vibrate at low speeds like bumper to bumper traffic, esp when first started. Car will buck/shudder when changing from reverse to drive when if car recently started.

Tucson Limited 1.4L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 20,000 miles

Bought my 2016 Hyundai Tucson in August of 1015. Car drove smoothly for the first 15 months. Then I noticed that when I stopped at a red light and released the brake pedal to move forward with the traffic the car would shudder. It only did it in normal and eco mode. If I drove it in sport mode it would not do it. I have had it in the shop three times. The first time they relearned the transmission. The second time they said it was my AC compressor locking up, so they changed the compressor. Did not fix problem. It is in the shop now and they just called me and said they did a relearn on the transmission again and Hyundai said this is normal operation. I politely told them I will not accept that and I left my Tucson there. I am going back in tomorrow and talk to the service manager and maybe the owner of the dealership. Will update later.
