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.

- Luray, VA, USA

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.

- San Jose, CA, USA

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.

- Vancouver, WA, USA

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.

- St. Louis, MO, USA

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.

- Huntington Beach, CA, USA

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.

I have the 2018 tuscon limited 1.6T dct with no more than 12,000 miles. When accelerating from a stop or accelerating after braking and pressing the gas pedal normally, the car stops accelerating and the car slows down. This also happens after coming to a stop and turning onto a different street. When it happened to my wife she pulled over into the center turning lane, because the car would not accelerate and there were cars turning behind her. I have taken it in to have it serviced and they either applied an update or reset the transmissions computer; however, a few hundred miles later and it's doing it again. My wife is concerned that this will happen one day and will cause an accident; she said she does not feel safe driving this car anymore. My first vehicle was a manual and I know how a manual drives and how they accelerate after shifting. I understand that a dct may have similar behaviors. However, this would be similar to someone holding in the clutch on a manual and not being able to shift gears, grinding them, causing the vehicle to not accelerate and any vehicle behind them to stop or slow down suddenly. We love the car, but the transmission makes us feel unsafe and hopefully we do not get into an accident due to this dct issue. I have also contacted Hyundai directly about this and I am supposed to be receiving a call from Hyundai Consumer Affairs in 3-5 business days.

When I went to accelerate out of a business drive way, the car hesitated at least 1-3 seconds before engagng the transimission to acclerate the vehicle out of the driveway into traffic. As I was turning out of the driveway, I was almost struck by an oncoming vehicle. I was in 2 other separate incidents either accclerating to get into a lane or accelerating from a stopped position almost causing accidents because of this problem. I was so scared, I traded the 2017 tuscon in for a 2018 tuscon hoping the problem would be solved. It did not. It happens in the 2018 tuscon less often, but more intermittently making it even more dangerous as you do not know when or if its going to happen and be able to react appropriately.

- Bloomingdale, IL, USA

This is my 2nd issue with this vehicle. Ever since I bought the vehicle I have always noticed that when I come to a complete stop (at a red light or stop sign) and I go to press on the gas the car doesn't go. It's like it hesitated before it starts to pick up speed. I always chalked it up to the fact that it was a 4 cylinder but after speaking to my mechanic I find out that this is not normal and can be the sign of a serious problem. There is currently no fix for this.
