CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Tucson comes with a dual-clutch, 7-speed transmission. But Hyundai forgot to tell you about one key phrase – zero-move. That's right, an alarming number of owners have said their SUV wouldn't accelerate after a stop.

Turns out that's because the transmission's application logic has been stumbling all over itself. Hyundai recalled the issue in September 2016, but it's difficult to say if owners are out-of-the-woods, or if this is just a sign of things to come.

  • Automatic transmission

Rear passenger door won't open no matter what. It's unlocked, child safety locks are not on. No amount of pushing from inside or pulling from outside works. Turning car on/off etc doesn't help.

Google search for "tucson door won't open" yields tons of similar complaints, most stating that Hyundai is charging significant amounts to fix this & its recurring in the same or other doors.

Safety issue as it would be impossible to get someone out of the car in an emergency for example if the car were flipped on its side and this were the only door they could exit.
