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.

The car is making a loud sound like a air impact wrench from time to time usually 2 to 6 times a day. We are scheduled to take it in next week I'll update this then.

Tucson SE Limited Accord. To VIN, Not ?

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,000 miles

Every single time I hit 25 mph, after just turning on the vehicle, it makes a popping sound. Multiple authorized Hyundai service centers and Hyundai corporate techs were unable to resolve the issue. I was told multiple times, they didn't hear it, they didn't know what it was and also the last thing I was told was that it is some kind of "check" that the vehicle does automatically as a confirmation of something. I forget if it was drivetrain or transmission... it was all a lot of BS just because they don't know how to fix it so it does not make the popping sound.
