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.

I was driving about 15mph on a side street near my house when my sunroof shattered out of nowhere. It took several months to get it repair and the dealership did not take any responsibility for the defect even though it was not from damage to the sunroof while driving.

the sunroof exploded

This was a horrible experience. The sunroof exploded while I was driving 60 miles per hour. It was as if a gun shot had gone off next to my head. Glass blew everywhere. I was so fortunate no one was in my car and I did not have an accident. Hyundai has been horrible about this. First they had a service guy call and say it was an insurance issue. Then, due to the fact that we have purchased 25 Hyundai vehicles for our driving school the dealer fixed it under the warranty. I do not think they would have fixed it otherwise. But I refuse to get in the vehicle again due to the lack of safety. Hyundai corporate has been equally horrible with a lack of compassion, action or caring. I hope the lawyers who have filed a lawsuit about this win before someone is seriously hurt.
