“I was driving my children to school who were sitting in the back seat when we heard a huge pop and the glass above them was shattered and starting falling on them. It was very scary and the children became very emotional. I immediately called the car dealership and they told me there was nothing they could do and I would be better off calling insurance.”

“Our 2017 Hyundai Tucson is going through a lot of oil. We are having a consumption test done. I called the Hyundai dealer where we had the oil change and he said he heard something about Hyundai Tucson's burning through a lot of oil. I did see a lawsuit for the 2016 models and think 2017 models are having similar issue. Our seat reclining electrical button is also failing the seat to recline properly.”

“Vehicle is hesitant to accelerate. Stutters and shakes. Returned immediately to auto mechanic department on several occasions. I was continuously told the vehicle only needed warming. I specifically asked when purchasing this vehicle if this offered a smooth ride. Car salesman guaranteed smooth and safe. So far it has been everything but that. I am also embarrassed to give anyone a ride due to the shaking stuttering.”

“While driving I have noticed that when I begin to accelerate after a complete stop my car jerks forward and doesn't catch. It's almost as if the vehicle stalls before moving forward, this happens when moving forward or reversing from a complete stop. I haven't been able to get a response to the issue from the dealership though I've let them know there is an issue multiple times over the past 3 months.”

“When the air conditioner is turned on there is stingy smell coming out of the vents but in a few minutes it goes away. I don't know if there is a leak in the system. I mentioned it to the dealer and they said they haven't received any recalls on that problem. Happens every day I use the car.”
