THE CAR OCCASIONALLY EXHIBITS THE FOLLOWING BEHAVIOR: 1.UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO BE IN A GEAR HIGHER THAN FIRST, WHICH THEN CAUSES THE MOTOR TO STALL AND LOSE POWER FOR ONE TO THREE SECONDS BEFORE RESUMING ACCELERATION. THE LOSS OF POWER PUTS THE CAR IN PERIL OF BEING REAR ENDED BY VEHICLES FOLLOWING BEHIND. 2.WHEN IN THIS STATE, MOVING THE GEARSHIFT LEVER LEFT TO ENTER MANUAL MODE FAILS ' THE TRANSMISSION STAYS IN DRIVE DESPITE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO ENGAGE MANUAL MODE. 3.BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION NEVER DOWNSHI…

I PULLED INTO THE DRIVE THRU LINE AT BANK BEHIND ANOTHER VEHICLE. I PLACED THE TUCSON INTO PARK, BUT LEFT THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF ME PROCESSED THEIR TRANSACTION. WHEN IT WAS MY TURN I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE VEHICLE DID NOT MOVE. THE RPMS MOVED INTO THE 3000 AND 4000 RANGE BUT THE CAR DID NOT MOVE. EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS NOT ON. VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. NO ERRORS OR WARNING LIGHTS ON DASHBOARD. I MOVED THE VEHICLE INTO AND OUT OF PARK AND NEUTRAL SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE THE TR…

ISSUE HAS OCCURRED 6 TIMES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN ON A CITY STREET, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNS GREEN. THE CAR IS STILL IN DRIVE AND THE ENGINE RPM'S INCREASE TO 4000-5000 BUT, THE CAR DOESN'T MOVE. IT FEELS LIKE THE PARKING BRAKE IS ON (IT IS NOT) AND DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL DOES NOTHING MORE THAN REV THE ENGINE. IT'S LIKE STEPPING ON THE GAS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK OR NEUTRAL.

MY TUCSON WILL RANDOMLY NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. I AM CONSTANTLY IN FEAR TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE IT FREQUENTLY WILL NOT MOVE AND THEN WILL LURCH FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD A RECALL PERFORMED TWICE AND THE ISSUE IS STILL ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. IN ADDITION, THIS WEEK THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE FRONT END AND NOW THEIR IS VIBRATION IN THE STEERING AND WHAT FEELS LIKE A WOBBLE UNDER THE FRONT PEDALS.
