Beware of Hyundai Tucson with dual clutch transmission!
I previously submitted 2 detailed reports to Hyundai regarding my 2018 Tucson with a turbo charged engine and dual clutch transmission. I included my contact information, but never heard back from Hyundai regarding a serious issue with the dual clutch transmission. The 2017 and 2018 models need to be recalled because of this major safety issue with the dual clutch transmission. When accelerating on three separate occasions, then needing to let up on the gas, the transmission disengaged when reaccelerating (while the engine was revving) in the middle of traffic that was bearing down on me. It scared me to death because the vehicle would not move! I leased the vehicle in May, 2018 and am a nervous wreck wondering when this issue will happen again while driving. In addition, my blood pressure jumped up 20 points this past year. Instead of enjoying my new vehicle, I feel stressed out every time I have to drive it, which is NOT acceptable. Unfortunately, this safety issue has not happened while at the dealer and they are not able to do anything since Hyundai has not issued a recall. Another issue is a strong chemical/plastic odor inside the vehicle when it sits in the sun during the warm weather. I will never lease or buy another Hyundai again, believe me.
