Tucson Acceleration (dual clutch transmission) Issue
We are going to write a letter to the National Highway Safety Board as this transmission is a hazard to drive and can result in serious accident. My husband was almost rear ended when the car would not accelerate. We no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. The sales person who sold us the car, did not explain it to us. My husband would not have purchased this car if he’d known up front. He is extremely knowledgeable about cars as he retired from one of the major auto makers. When we found out what the issue is with acceleration, we googled it and were blown away by all the complaints from other Tucson owners. Why did Hyundai continue to build this transmission? Even the service manager was shaking his head, telling me about all the close calls drivers have when trying to enter a highway and merge in. I’m scared to death now and won’t go on an interstate! This issue has changed our driving lifestyle.
