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.

Drivers side door handle lock/unlock button stopped working. However, the passenger side door button still works. This by itself is not a huge issue, but with the number of electrical issues I have experienced with this car, it just adds to the annoyance and frustration of owning this vehicle.

This is a major safety concern. My daughter sits in that seat and in the event of a crash or any emergency, she is unable to exit the vehicle as the door does not open from the inside and the outside is locked. This is very frustrating. As mentioned, this is my third Hyundai that I have purchased new and outright since 2009. I have never experienced these problems before. Overall, I have 3 issues present - both front windows don't work and the passenger side window is stuck in the down position. Also, we can't open the driver side rear door.
