  Not the dual clutch transmission I had in my VW CC - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
  By Art - November 22 - 8:20 pm

  The dual clutch transmission in the Hyundai Tucson is a piece of junk. Ive had 2 VW CCs and their dual clutch transmission worked flawlessly. The nightmare of a transmission in the Hyundai is unsafe at any speed. Sometimes you cant get the car to move, prompting horns to honk when the light turn s green. Other times it leaves the line like a dragster as the tires spin and Im shot off like a rocket. Ive read the other reviews and this car is not safe to be on the road. If Hyundai cant fix the issue, they should buy the car back. Im not one to depend on the Federal Government for anything except more problems, but in this case the NHTSA needs to step in and help the consumer.

  Unsafe acceleration from dead stop - 2016 Hyundai TUCSON
  By ProfessorPlumb - June 23 - 8:22 pm

  As Rusty_Blades has stated in an earlier review (and Ive replied to the same), My Tucson as delivered has an issue with acceleration from a dead-stop that is both annoying an potentially dangerous. Ive only had the car less than a week and havent been able to talk to service about this yet, so hopefully there is now a fix, Ill update this review when I find out. The problem is that the car starts to accelerate on its own as soon as you take your foot off the pedal, this seemed a bit odd when I test drove it, but I was so impressed with its performance as highway speed that I purchased it just the same. I wish I had taken Rustys advice and tried to parallel park it during the test drive. When I tried this a day after I purchased it the buyers remorse really started to kick-in hard. Im sure Hyundai will come up for a fix for this if they havent already, but until I can get this fixed this stays at a 2-star review. My other main beef with this car is that the head rest cant be adjusted far enough back for my comfort, I may have to take it apart and try to come up with a way of further adjusting it. Otherwise, I think Id be super happy with this car, it is very quiet, smooth as silk at highway speed, and Peppy with a capital P.
