TRANSMISSION DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY SHIFT THROUGH GEARS. UNDER ACCELERATION, IT WILL SOMETIMES SHIFT FROM 1-2- NEUTRAL INSTEAD OF GOING INTO 3RD GEAR. IF YOU DEACCELRATE AND THEN TRY TO ACELERATE AS WHEN COMING TO A TURN, THE CAR HAS EXTREME HESITATION AND SOMETIME WILL JUST REV TO 3,000RPM WITHOUT ANY MOVEMENT...AGAIN LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL. DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS ALL BY DESIGN AND I SHOULD ADJUST MY DRIVING HABITS TO ACCOMMODATE THIS DANGEROUSLY DESIGNED VEHICLE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND JERKED RAPIDLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE NOT AVAILABLE.
ON THURSDAY, JAN 12TH, AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY IN MY 2 WEEK OLD 2017 TUCSON, I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND IT DIDN'T MOVE. I TOOK MY FOOT OF THE GAS THEN PRESSED AGAIN AND IT SPUTTERED FORWARD AS IF IT WASN'T GETTING GAS. I STOPPED, PUT THE CAR IN PARK, WAITED A MINUTE, THEN PUT IT BACK IN DRIVE. IT HESITATED A BIT THEN SEEMED TO BE OK. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SOME KIND OF "UPDATE" IN 3 DAYS. I HOPE THIS RESOLVES THE ISSUE. IN THE MEANTIME, I WILL DEPEND ON SOMEONE ELSE FOR TRANSPORTATION AS THIS IS POTENTIALLY QUITE DANGEROUS.
