My 2018 Hyundai Tuscon has been having major issues with the dual clutch transmission, which has put myself, my family, and others in very dangerous situations. Everyday when I start my Tuscon and accelerate, it stutters/jerks like it-??s going to stall and will not accelerate/shift. It eventually starts going, but I have to pull out onto a street, which has been unsafe when cars are speeding up behind me. It does not go up hills well at all. I turned onto a road where there was a decent sized hill, but nothing major, and nothing an SUV should have a problem with. My previous CAR could drive it just fine. You-??d think an SUV could as well. Nope. Very scary moment. My Tuscon made it not even half way, and just stopped. I was pressing the gas, and it just revved it up with no motion. I braked and tried it again, and it still would not go. I had to roll backwards down the hill. This was the only way to my destination. I rolled down, and put it in sport mode to try that. It still would not go, and did the same thing. I tried again in regular mode, and it still would not go, only this time I had a car behind me. The car had to back down, and I rolled back a little bit, then hit the gas in drive and it eventually made it, but definitely very scary and unsafe, and it put others in danger as well. I was going to church one morning, and the speed limit on the main road is 60, which is what I was driving. I had to slow down to turn, and had to stop to oncoming traffic. I had to brake for maybe 10 seconds, and when I went to accelerate, it was like it wasn-??t shifting, and it just revved up, rolled slightly, and would not go. At this point there are more cars coming. I am in the road right In their path due to it rolling, and once again I am put in a very scary situation. I kept trying, and it FINALLY went. This was also on flat level ground. I have had many moments (every day) where it does not shift properly, and it also stutters every single day when I start it. Please fix this

Vehicle has judder at slow speeds or hesitation in shifting gears. Has almost stalled while making a left turn at intersection into oncoming traffic or accelerating after stop sign. Dealer updated TCU ECM software, problem got worse. Appears to be a dual clutch transmission defect.

Warning light on dashboard board goes on and off constantly indicating rear brake light needs attention. When warning light is on, brake light does not work. When warning light turns off, brake light works. This happens when car is on and constantly at random times even when I'm stationary. Also, when I'm stopped, car tugs like it wants to accelerate.

Transmission fails to shift properly. Had this issue since around 15K miles purchased vehicle brand new and complained multiple times dealer wouldn't do anything until around 55K miles replaced dual clutch and problem had come back after 5K miles and dealer says nothings wrong... I feel unsafe in a brand new car with regular maintenance... help

Car was slowly entering garage and came to a full stop with brake pedal depressed in gear. Car without warning, engine revved up to full power and crashed in garage. I am alleging condition known as sudden unintended acceleration. I have had the damage repaired and the cost of repair was over $4,000. Pictures available upon request. Hyundai performed an inspection on vehicle upon my demand to do so. When report came in, I was refused a copy of exact report by inspector and only given a summary by company agent. When I asked for the exact inspector report to be read to me over the phone, that request was denied as well.

Car constantly hesitates when starting to accelerate. When you begin to accelerate from a stop, the car hesitates for several seconds before beginning to move. This is very dangerous when making turns at stop lights or in intersections. Going at highway speed the car runs fine and accelerates without issue. The problem is when at slow speeds or at a stop and you need to accelerate. Also, when going slow or slowing down to a stop, the car sees like it is going to stall and the engine/transmission begins to jerk as if it is about to stall. When driving through a parking lot at slow speeds with some quick on/off breaking, the car hesitates and feels like it is going to stall.

The transmission severely lags in the initial transition into first gear, as well as from first to second. When initially engaging into first gear from reverse, the car rumbles and chops into first gear. Although this is a dual clutch car, it severely lags into acceleration, causing a major safety hazard, especially on the freeway. We have taken the car to the dealer for repairs but they hide behind the excuse that this is a dual clutch transmission. The issue first occurred at around 500 miles. It has only gotten worse since.

Has developed inttermintant shift stutter while driving (city and hightway) and dealyed power from a stop (no go syndrome). The problem isgetting worse and the Hyundai hasn't been able to fix it.

When the vehicle is at a complete stop it will have issues going when I push on the gas. It takes a few seconds to go and it will jerk forward and then go. It doesn't happen every time but it is often enough that it's worry some and could be unsafe.

Vehicle caught fire while driving on the highway.

Bought the vehicle new. The problem originally began as intermittent now occurring almost constantly. If vehicle is in a stopped position upon pressing the accelerator the vehicle does not move forward for up to one to 2 seconds. The RPM shows that the engine is revving but no motion. Then suddenly the vehicle will lurch forward. The amount of pressure applied to the accelerator does not make a difference in the vehicle response time. I am very concerned about the safety of this vehicle as the vehicle will not accelerate when necessary. I have brought in the vehicle for repairs of this problem twice and was told that Hyundai knows of the problem but because the issue is not extreme enough nothing can be done. I do not believe that the vehicle can be operated safely given the current defect.

Mostly in the morning after the vehicle has sat all night and occasionally throughout the day after stopping at red lights or when leaving a parking lot. The vehicle will 'stall, shutter' or however else you want to describe a rapid jerking motion while trying to accelerate from a stop. It causes a delay in the ability to effectively and safely merge the vehicle into traffic at times.

I purchased my 2018 Hyundai Tucson limited 1.6L forward drive new in November 2018. I started experiencing problems a few weeks after my purchase. The vehicle is slow to accelerate at times and other times the vehicle lurches/accelerates forward at a high rate of speed with my foot on the brake pedal. For instance, I was at a drive thru with my foot on the brake pedal and my Tucson began to accelerate forward. I was so afraid that I was going to hit the car in front of me that I turned the vehicle off. On numerous occasions it has lurched/accelerated forward with my foot on the brake pedal. Other times when I begin to accelerate after stopping at a stop light the vehicle just hesitates to move at all. It is very slow to accelerate for a turbo vehicle. Concerning my brakes, my brakes are making a high pitch squealing sound. I have taken my Tucson in for service for the brake issue, and I have been told that there is nothing wrong and that is the noise that Tucson brakes make. Brakes do not make a high pitch squealing noise for no reason at all. Also, I took my Tucson to be serviced for the engine/transmission problem and I was told that there was nothing that they could do about the problem. This SUV is a deathtrap. The 2018 Tucson 1.6L needs to be recalled and the engine replaced with a 2.4L engine and the brake system needs to be redesigned.

, from a stop, when you move forward, you press on the accelerator the car hesitates to move forward then all of the sudden if reves high and then speed faster than it should, I have called the dealership two times, the vehicle has 11,000 miles on it and has never been in an accident. Something with the dual-clutch system is having issues and will lead to death. The vehicle does it intermittently, so you can not predict it when it will have an issue, at min, it does this frequently.

The dual clutch, 7 speed automatic transmission in my 2018 Hyundai Tucson does not always move the car. When pulling out of a driveway, intersection, or crossing oncoming traffic lanes the car will stop moving while partially in the street/intersection. It will not move, the engine RPM's rev up and then all of a sudden the car lunges forward. I am afraid that a car approaching me may not stop in time and run into me, even though I had plenty of time to make the turn. I took the car to the dealer on 9/24/2019 and they said they were 'unable to duplicate the issue'. I returned the car to the dealer for the same issue on 5/5/20. The car was returned to me after 6 weeks and the dealer stated they replaced the transmission and dual clutch assembly with a new unit and I was informed that this may not resolve the original issue. On 6/24/20 the car was returned to the dealer for the same issue and the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem. At no point did Hyundai tell me they've had ongoing issues with their dual clutch transmission. It was my own research and contacting another dealer that I was told Hyundai is aware of the problem and has no current solution to resolve the matter.
