My Tuscon has been nothing short of a nightmare. From day one it has shifted very very rough, almost stalls out in traffic, and fails to accelerate from a stop. I have almost been hit 3 times due to these malfunctions. All of these are due to a design flaw in the dual clutch system. Hyundai even has a recall TSB (technical service bulletin) out to all of it's dealers regarding these safety issues, yet they deny it. But their service managers freely acknowledge all of these problems the 4 times I have taken it in for them. They say they hear these same complaints over and over again about the Tuscon. If you Google search Hyundai Tuscon dual clutch problems, you will find thousands of the same complaints. This is obviously a dangerous vehicle according to their own tsb.

Engine died at 94K. Because we were the second owner, warranty did not cover. Car started burning through oil about 8 months ago and then one day driving through town, the engine started shaking. The car was only 7 years old, well maintained, and the engine failed. It is shameful that Hyundai is getting away with this. No engine in a modern car should completely fail at less than 100K miles. Edmunds needs to review their 4/5 reliability rating as thousands of these engines are dying, leaving owners in a horrible position.

This car is beautiful. There is plenty of room for 5 adults and plenty of leg room. The console is beautiful and easy to set up. The only drawback would be that there is not much room in the very back trunk area. Other than that I highly recommend this car.

Beware of transmission

In stop and go traffic the transmission will not respond properly. Changing lanes when you accelerate the transmission will delay about 2or 3 seconds before responding. Dealer is aware of problem but they cannot fix. It's the dual clutch transmission and that's the way it is.

A Drag and Engine Light Issues

I purchased the car from a Honda dealership first of all because I felt like it had a better deal. I drove off the lot happy the next day as I was going to work the check engine light came on and it continues to come on after I purchased another gas cap new from Hyundai. It lacks acceleration has no get up a 1999 Accord has more speed than that. I really wish that I would of gotten something different the fuel economy is horrible I filled up on Saturday and by Monday I was wondering where all my gas had went to when I had only being to a few places. JD Power is giving them all these good ratings but if performance is one that is always lacking then they are overrating it by far too much. It would be nice to have them do something for the interest of the consumers and owners of this vehicle
