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 passenger side headlight compartment has condensation in it. Enough condensation so the headlights don't work. when I took it in for recall work I mentioned this as I thought that it might have possibly been a short or a loose wire, and they shared that no it's not wired it's just water in that enclosure and I need to pay for it myself to get it replaced to the tune of $1900 for the new part.. I've seen other complaints about the same problem. Why will Hyundai not fix this? I found something from Hyundai that states, do not replace!

My transmission gears shift keeps on sticking in the park position and also I-€™ve been having to replace my left side parking lights I believe it-€™s an electric problem or fuse and the dealership seems to can-€™t fixed this issue with my vehicle each time I take it there
I have had a problem opening up my driver side back door sense summer of 2020 so I've taken the back door panel off and I pull on the wire from the inside to open it up. I've dealt with that just fine it's irritating but now my passenger side front is not wanting to open from the outside do I have to read across and open up the door if anybody is going to be on the passenger side. Now the driver's side door has started doing it. So now I'm expected to climb in true the passenger rear door and up into the front seat or open the door from the inside and then walk back around my car. That is until the back passenger door decides to start doing the same thing and then I guess I'll have to climb in through the trunk" or maybe that'll be the next one to go? another issue that have been having a lot of trouble with is the front interior dome or the console the passenger side light doesn't like to come on most of the time, but occasionally it does. The biggest issue is the front headlights and the brake lights. So the headlights have been needing to be replaced more often than I ever heard of anybody replacing them, less than 6 month sometimes. Other times that had like just goes out and then I have to get under the hood and hopefully get the cap off so that I can play with the fitting and hope that it will come back on. Because I actually do most of my driving in the dark when it's night time so I kind of need my lights. Sometimes that doesn't work but the next morning I will turn on the vehicle the light is working again"... I've been dealing with that issue for about a year as well. Just recently within the last few months bee tail light or brake light has started doing the same thing. Specifically the passenger brake light so far. I could sense there was some sort of electrical issue coming on but wouldn't have expected all of this, back to back at the same time.
Originally when I purchased my car I complained to the dealer about my radio going black and they claimed it was due to the cold and brushed it off. Now recently I had the same issue but now as I was driving straight on the highway all of the lights on the dash keep flickering on and off telling me to check every system. My car signals/hazards will not work. Speedometer will not work along with blind spot recognition and other things.
The headlights turn off and on on their own when it is set to auto. I have worked with Hyundai, and engineering has confirmed that they have had several cases where the sensor malfunctions and turned the headlights off and on. It is incredibly dangerous as this happens at night and during the day.
Passenger brake ligh repeatedly goes out, Hyundai dealership has admitted it is a recurring issue arising from subpar parts with known quality problems. Occurs randomly; stationary, in motion. Vehicle primarily used for city driving.
The driver side brake lights are failing intermittently. However the bulbs are still working. When I switch the brake lights between the left and the right, the problem still remains on the left side. However the problem goes away and all the brake lights are working for a while. I have not figured out a pattern to how long they work to how long they don't work. There is no problem with the switch since 2 out of 3 lights are always working. It is not a light bulb problem because the failure did not follow the bulb after switching them.
First my driver's side rear door got to sticking at 60, 500 mile and now my front passenger side door doing the same thing. My taillight says it's not work and it be working and vis versus, as if there's a shortage. Now the steep hill lights come on along with the car traction light. It's doing it more now than ever. Having to restart my vehicle everytime now to reset it. It doing it at red light and while I'm driving all on it own. My biggest fear is my doors sticking and the dealership in tupelo ms told me I will have to pay for a diagnostic and to me I feel I should not have to because that dealing with my safety. There have not be any thing done to either door for the to be that way on my behalf.
The right passenger brake light says it is out. Within same day or soon after will be working again. I replace the light bulb it stops working the same day or shortly thereafter. Sounds like a wire isn't working properly. It will be working the whole day and suddenly when I push the brake it goes out.
The issue I have with my Hyundai Tucson 2016 1.6 turbo happens on an every other daily basis. I recently started having an issue using the left hand signal/blinker and it not working when turning left or changing to left lane while driving. I had the one-touch turn signal feature on where you tap the signal lever and the turn signal flashes 3, 5, or 7 times then off. While driving (maybe 25 - 30% of the time) when signalling for a left-hand turn using the one touch feature, the signal will not engage at all. When making a left turn, I would fully engage the signal to turn left and then complete the turn, the lever would snap back to neutral but the signal would still blink 3 times then off. I either have to slightly increase the down pressure on the lever or click it off and then back down for it to work. No issues at all signalling to the right. I'm afraid this may cause an accident because of other drivers not aware of me changing lanes and/or turning left. I took it to the dealership and they said they couldn't duplicate the problem and suggested I get it on recording somehow. I'm not sure how I can do that when it only happens when I'm driving (not safe to try and record something while driving).
