This is a great looking and feeling car. I purchased it new under lease in 2016 and from the very start, there were major transmission issues. At around 3000 miles the vehicle began to stall at stop lights and rough shifting in normal slow speed conditions. I returned to the …

I have been profoundly disappointed with this car. The transmission is horrifyingly slow. The car does not seem capable of going beyond 75 mph. Actual gas mileage is more akin to 17/27. Hyundai has been entirely unhelpful in trying to address any of this. Steer Clear!

It is very hard to rate this car. Take away the double clutch transmission and it would be a wonderful vehicle. It jerks and shudders so much when I attempt to take off that I am embarrassed to drive it with friends. If it had a working transmission, I would …

I purchased my 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited at the end of May 2016. For about five weeks, I enjoyed the comfort, smooth ride, quiet cabin and features. Unfortunately, after about five weeks, I had to have the vehicle towed to the local dealership because of problems with the “dual clutch …

I had a Hyundai Sonata for 16 years and loved it, so I thought I would get another Hyundai for the great reliability and drive. I wanted a smaller SUV and being a Hyundai loyalist, I bought a used 2017 Tucson. The exterior, interior (leather) are great - unfortunately, the …

The Dual Clutch Transmission creates a lag when accelerating. This is a major safety issue. We have been is many situations when the car just stops when you need the power. Hyundai is aware of this problem but is unable to fix it because of the DCT. They have since …
