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.

2016 Hyundai Tucson Owner Comments

problem #2

Tucson Limited 1.6t

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

The left turn signal has occasionally not worked for the entire time I've owned this car, which is currently eight months. I'll have to force the turn lever down to make sure it stays on. I have had no accident from it, but I can see how it would be an issue if it happened on a busy road. I have had horns honked at me because it was not blinking. I don't understand why a recall has not been issued for this problem.

Tucson Ultimate 1.6L Turbo

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,855 miles

Three problems in one month (signal lights not working, rear door will not open, and airbag warning light activated). All these problems in a vehicle with just 25,000 miles. Hyundai vehicles are very poorly designed and built.
