You could get creamed in traffic while in the middle of an intersection because of the tranny slip or turbo lag, the same scenario while merging onto the interstate, or out of your garage. It's the worst vehicle I've ever had because I don't know what it's going to do. Talk about anxiety behind the wheel! I'm so disappointed and it really sucks I have to stick it out for over another year before I can get out of this. Hyundai needs to make this right for the customer whose safety is on the line because of their vehicle that is so unsafe and unreliable. As a previous customer...the Elantra, the Entourage....no more Hyundai's for me.

I have really enjoyed driving my Tucson. Everything's working well and no further issues since it required a new engine (covered under warranty) a few months old. Later a small problem with the turbo; only a loose connection. Gave me a scare, tho, because the vehicle had very little power and i had to floor it to get it to accelerate. No more issues (knock on wood).

We Love Our Tucson Sport

We bought a 2017 Tucson Sport for our retirement. We recently drove it from Chicago to Florida and back, racking up approximately 4K miles over two months. Our Tucson performed flawlessly. It ran all day at 70+ MPH while staying steady and quiet. The turbo produces plenty of power for climbing hills, merging, and passing at highway speeds. While it's not a sports car it handled the twists and turns quite capably. The automatic lift gate is a wonderful convenience. And the blind spot monitoring is a lifesaver, especially in Chicago traffic. Overall we would enthusiastically recommend the Tucson Sport to anyone considering a compact SUV.

I had a Hyundai Santa Fe for 11 years- bought it brand new. Loved that car. But when I married my husband who is 6’3” couldn’t fit comfortably. So decided time to get something more comfortable for us. Sold the Santa Fe to my son. Sadly my son crashed that car but I also think it probably saved his life( side note on I loved the Santa Fe). When I went to the dealership I wanted to stick with hyundai because it had been so good for me. Sticker shock! I couldn’t stretch to get another Santa Fe so I turned to the smaller Tuscon. I looked and test drove several and finally decided on purchasing one. Got the car home and was proudly driving it within the first few days and all of a sudden it would not accelerate above 20 miles an hour!! Supposively it wasn’t programmed correctly when it got to the lot so first trip back to the dealership. Fixed that. So on I go driving my car. And like so many I encountered the issues with the engine and the stupid dual clutch. I took it to the shop over and over and the told me it was just the way the car was. I let my 18 year old daughter drive it once, but with so many warnings of don’t pull out if you know you have enough room because this car will not give you get up and go. I didn’t let people drive it as it just was too scary! The last straw came last month when my mom was riding in the car and mentioned she could hear the car shifting. I was fed up. I just bought the car a year ago but this was ridiculous. I was paying on a car that was not a joy to drive. My husband and I traded it in on a Ford Escape Titanium. Before I did, I went back to the dealership and explained that I was unhappy and wanted to see if they could earn my business. Basically it was a well we can sell you another car that cost more. Sadly, I think I am done with Hyundai. My new car is more then I wanted to pay but I have the assurance that it will not lag with acceleration. Hyundai disappointed me. The Tuscon is not a safe car with the dual clutch. I loved the features the car had but can not drive a car I don’t feel is safe. I traded it in with a little over 5800 miles. Lesson learned.

Transmission Disgust from Day One

2017 Tucson Sport -Turbo. The sport truck was a nice vehicle, HOWEVER the transmission shifting problems were terrible.When cold the transmission would hesitate, stumble and jerk from a stop.After warming up it would jerk from a start-up as if driving a standard transmission with a faulty clutch. It was so bad my wife was terrified to drive the vehicle. Dealer was no helpwith problem, contacted the NTSB and filed complaint along with many other Hyundai owners. Finally was able to reach an engineer in Redundo Beach, CA, national headquarters, and told him of the problem and was told they were aware of problem and NO longer used this transmission and the dealer was now responsible for the transmission problems...
