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.
This was a problem since July 2021, and was finally fixed in October 2021. I brought my car to my local Hyundai dealer, and they insisted it was a battery issue. They forced me to buy a new battery which was dead in three weeks. I brought it back, and they told me it was a defective battery. That battery died two weeks later.
This problem started right after I had the ABS recall done on my car. I asked the dealer to check if they had caused the problem. They refused to look at it unless I agreed to a $125 an hour service charge. I declined and dealt with my car dying every night for months. I eventually brought it to another dealer who found the short in my radio, causing a 1.4-volt parasitic draw. I was charged $900 for the radio to be sent out for repair and $800 in labor. The problem is fixed, but I'm getting rid of the car due to the numerous other electrical issues slowly developing in this car.
