The owner of the SUV, which he thinks is great, Jean-Pierre R., a loyal reader from Marseille (13), has not escaped problems, however. her Hyundai Tucson 1.7 CRDi 141 DCT 2017 actually faced several problems robotic box has double clutch.
Yes, two years ago, when his car had only 56,400 km, our reader complained that the clutch was knocking on hills. Fortunately, at the time, this Tucson was still covered by the five-year warranty that Hyundai gives on all its new cars.
Chronic symptoms
Unfortunately, a few weeks ago this problem happened again. Jean-Pierre is surprised because the sound meter Tucson only displays 72,200 km, or only 15,800 km more than during the previous intervention. After inspecting the car, its dealer confirmed that the flywheel and dual clutch needed to be replaced again. Expensive operation, as the estimate is 3803 euros.
With the manufacturer’s warranty expiring in October 2022, Jean-Pierre must fight for support from Hyundai. But the amount that was given to him at that time is only 12% of the assessment, which seems to Jean-Pierre to be very insufficient. For him, the question of payment does not arise 3333 euros for parts that will only last two years.
Our defense strategy
Jean-Pierre’s anger is legitimate. It may come as a surprise that the flywheel and dual clutch need replacing after two years and less than 10,000 miles. Especially since on a robotic gearbox, the electronic clutch control must preserve these elements.
So it seems normal that our reader asks for full support Hyundai, as indicated by the scale of our experts, knowing that, on the car for 6 years, gesture 90% will remain acceptable!
