• Car Door Handle Issue Sometimes, the problem can be nothing but a door handle issue. If your car door won't open from the inside, see the inside door handle. If the car door won't open from the outside, then lookup for any outside handle issue.
• My door handle won't open from the outside I removed the plastic and pulled on the cable going to the handle and although it seems to move freely it still won't open the door (pulled with needle nose plyers) now the inside handle works fine I have my interier door trim off but now there's the.

2016 Hyundai Tucson (Page 1 of 4)

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2016 Tucson comes with a dual-clutch, 7-speed transmission. But Hyundai forgot to tell you about one key phrase â€' zero-move. That's right, an alarming number of owners have said their SUV wouldn't accelerate after a stop.

Turns out that's because the transmission's application logic has been stumbling all over itself. Hyundai recalled the issue in September 2016, but it's difficult to say if owners are out-of-the-woods, or if this is just a sign of things to come.

problem #68

Tucson

• 65,000 miles

All four of my windows have stopped working. The motor part works B/C I can hear it...the window just doesn't go up or down. It's likely off the tracks. I can understand one but all four.....seriously all four windows do not work. All this happened coicidentally jsut as I hit the 65,000 mile mark with the exception of hte driver side that I was able to get under warranty. If there is a recall needed it's for the windows!

A few months ago, my drivers side window stopped going up randomly one day. The motor was replaced under my extended warranty. All of a sudden this weekend, the right passenger's side window quit working too. I brought it in for service, and they tested all of the windows and the back right window is also not working. The dealership service department manager said that he sees every single tuscon have all four window motors fail at some point- he replaced four vehicles window motors today alone! my car is a 2016, this should not be happening to every single window like clockwork. There needs to be a recall on these window motors, and they should be covered if they fail after the warranty is up, because this is a manufacturing issue, not the results of wear and tear. It is dangerous to not have control of windows in all weather conditions, and for the safety of your vehicle leaving it parked anywhere with the inability to lock it up.

While driving in motion on city street, West bound, people were yelling at me... wasn't sure what was going on...I roll down my window to hear them yelling ' your car is on fire' so I pull off road in to a parking lot...stop and open door as fire rushing in as I'm 'literally' having to jump out ! trying to put fire out with fire extinguisher, but did not work...maybe 10 mins later, fire department arrives and puts it out

Door Won't Open From Inside

About a year ago, my front passenger side door started malfunctioning when trying to open it. I have to pull the handle 2-3 times before the door will successfully open. Two days ago, my rear passenger door won¿T open at all from the inside or outside. This is a huge safety concern as I babysit my 3 and 8 year old niece and nephew frequently. I¿ve noticed on forums that this is a common thing and I feel as though it should be a recall as it is a safety issue.

problem #61

Tucson 4-cyl

• 70,000 miles

In summer of 2019 I noticed left rear passenger window stopped functioning. A few months later, right passenger door started not opening from the outside. Fast forward 3 months later, driver wide window stopped functioning and now a few short weeks later the left rear passenger door will no longer open from the outside. I have tried operating the windows that aren't working while the vehicle was stationary and also while moving. The doors obviously have only been attempted to be open while stationary and in park. I believe this to be a possible electrical issue? but I also believe this is a major safety concern and not normal wear and tear. Consumer stated she now has 3 doors and 2 windows that are not working properly. Dealership has been contacted.

My rear passenger door won't open. It's not locked, and I've put as much force on it as I think I can without breaking the handle and it won't open. This seems like a pretty common problem with Tucson's and with Hyundai's in general. Vehicle was stationary.

Car usually bogs down when starting out from a stop. Like it isnt getting any fuel. My car is a turbo and the dealership says its normal for turbos. Bull!

Tucson

• 5,000 miles

Not long after the purchase of my 2016 Tucson, probably when I first started using the ac the first summer I owned it, I started to get some musty smells coming from the vents. This problem has gotten worse each year and changing the cabin air filter doesn't seem to help. I have never had a problem like this with any other car, and I have been driving cars for 40 years. The smell seems to pop up in humid weather when using the ac. I worry that the evaporator coil may be growing mold or microbes.

I cannot accelerate into traffic. There is a hesitation in the accelerator. Sometimes nothing happens, sometimes it chugs first then goes. I have trouble merging and getting into traffic. It is unreliable from a stationary to movement.

My vehicle stalls to accelerate.when I hit the gas it will stall to move, it's dragging very slow. This is very scary when I'm driving and my SUV slows down when other cars are driving fast behind me.

On or about 8/17/2019, the date and time disappeared from the display. Dealership states that it is a Hyundai satellite communication error affecting 100 of thousands vehicles. Numerous contacts via twitter, facebook and myhyundai website have not been responded too. Telephone calls to Hyundai customer awareness just repeat that Hyundai is aware of the situation but no fix or solution is available. This is a safety issue since not having access to the time requires checking cell phone which in Washington state is considered distracted driving and is illegal. Since using vehicle for work, knowing the time numerous times during various trips as well kids continually checking the time on cell phones a safety issue has developed and Hyundai is ignoring not only the problem but the car owners. Not having a working clock may seem trivial, but having to pick up a cell phone to check the current time is dangerous and would be unnecessary if Hyundai fixed a feature that came with the car.

This has happened on three occasions, when sitting idle and about to accelerate to turn into traffic, my car has stalled, shook and almost stopped. In one instance my car was in park when I stopped to take something out of my vehicle. Upon putting in drive, the engine revved and but did not move the vehicle. Two times almost resulted in an accident with my children in the vehicle!! these instances happened this week, dating 8/17/12019 - 8/19/2019 at approx 23,000 miles on the odometer. Once in our residential neighborhood, once on a very busy 4 lane highway.

I've owned my 2016 Hyundai Tucson for less then 1 month now. On 3 occassions after coming to a stop and trying to accelerate the gas pedal seems to fail. My rpms go up but the vehicle doesn't accelerate until pushing the gas pedal 3 times or more very hard. My vehicle only has 30K miles on it. I will be bringing it to the dealership. This is very dangerous especially when turning and on coming traffic is coming but the vehicle won't move. This could potentially kill me if struck while merging on to the freeway. I'm now afraid to drive and fear for my safety. A recall should be made out to pull these off the roads!!

problem #51

Latching/locking system does not work on the passenger front, and both rear doors. Unable to open the back doors from the inside or outside. The passenger front door will open from the inside but must be pulled 3 times to open from the outside. Once the door has been opened initially it will close and open without problem. After the lock has been engaged and unlocked again, the door handle on the passenger front must be pulled 3 times in order to open.

Back driver passenger door is not opening from inside or outside. It's unlocked and don¿T seem to have issues with the lock and unlock button. All other doors work. I just used the door earlier today with no issues and never had any issues until this evening. No visual objects to be blocking the door. Went online to check for recall and seems many owners are having same issues.
