My car was parked in my driveway. I only had it less than a month (new). I tried to remote start it & it wouldnt work. I went outside to start it & it wouldn't turn over, all lights on dash were lit up. I lifted my hood- a squirrel nest was built under hood. Wiring harness chewed up, insulation under my hood ripped off, numerous areas of hard plastic covering my headlight under hood and along inside frame of car all chewed up. All things chewed were made of soy based materials.I had my car towed to my mechanic, not Hyundai due to the fact that they don't accept responsibility. I had similar problems (3X) w/my Honda 2014 CRV that's why I got rid of it. I was told by both Honda & Hyundai "its not covered, it's not a manufacturing defect, it's caused by outside circumstances/ rodents. Use your auto insurance". this is a manufacturing defect because they use soy which attracts these rodents. Soy wiring harnesses should be banned and recalls instituted to remedy the problem by either replacing the harnesses with standard synthetic non-edible polymers as appropriate to the specific application, or providing coatings that provably prevent rodents from consuming the insulation over the lifespan of the vehicle. I can't even park in my own driveway for fear of more damage that I have to pay for due to the use of soy. This problem is all over the internet caused by soy used by various car makers. Please do something about this asap.

When you go to pass or increase speed the RPM's go up but no acceleration, even at low speed you have no acceleration. I do not want to drive my vehicle. This is an accident waiting to happen. We took car to dealer twice and they could not duplicate this. It happened the third time and we took it to dealer and while my husband was driving to dealership it happened again. It has happened on interstate and local town roads. We just purchased this vehicle in November of 2017. So now four times for the same issue. This is a very serious problem with this vehicle!!!!!

There is a constant shaking and vibration in the front passenger tire I don't know if it's the stability traction or what mostly happens at about 65 miles per hour on the highway and when I went to test drive a second 2007 Hyundai Tucson night version it front end was even more shaky

When taking corners the car just revs but I cannot accelerate. I have to move over to let cars pass. I almost got in an accident twice over this issue. I don't know when it is going to happen. Also at a complete stop the engine will not accelerate just rev for about 15-30 seconds. Hyundai tells me just learn how to drive.

Hesitation on acceleration, dual clutch transmission. Reported problems with the 2016 Tucson. My vehicle is a 2017 Tucson SE plus, the problems are the same as previously reports regarding the 2016 model. The existing recall needs to be broadened to include 2017's. plus, I understand the computer software upgrade does not guarantee a permanent repair. Very dangerous. My car was purchased in may of 2017 and has less than 1300 miles. The problem was first discovered today while doing daily errands.

The engine hesitates, jumps, almost stalls or revs like a manual transmission when you are starting from a stopping position or at lower speeds (less than 45 mph). There have been very scary situations where pulling out from a stop signs with adequate time with any other car except for this vehicle because you don't know if that's going to be the time it hesitates or won't accelerate when you press on the gas.

We purchased a 2017 tuscon limited AWD with a dual clutch transmission. Since we've had this SUV it has this problem. I had mentioned it to the dealer and I finally took it in to have them look at it. From a stop especially on a hill and turning the SUV hesitates then kicks in and hesitates again, sending me forward in my seat. I have to be extremely cautious when taking off from a stop the vehicle hesitates so badly I'm afraid I'm going to be hit. Bottom line I don't feel safe in my vehicle. I took the tuscon back to the dealer and they say it's expected behavior for the dual clutch transmission. Their advice is to drive in sports mode all of the time and not in the econo mode. Econo is the default mode and (is used to save on gas) not sport so I have to make sure I turn it on every time I start the car and there is no way to default it to sports. My question is why should I have to drive in sports mode to feel safer. I purchased the car new and have had this problem since we purchased it. I've done some research and it appears this is a very common problem with the dual clutch transmission, I've seen several complaints with the 2017 as well.

After stopping the vehicle does not respond to the gas pedal, severe lag. I have almost been in 3 accidents in 2 weeks, I am on blood thinners so this presents a life threatening issue for me, I am pursuing all complaint options and looking for a full refund. The car is only 2.5 weeks old and has less than 100 miles on it. The problem is intermittent so you can never be sure when it is going to happen.
