Rather than continue to post on the Dangerous, Horrible DCT thread I thought it may be better to have a thread dedicated to people who have done the update and their experiences, etc.
Pre-Fix No No-go issues
Slight hesitation on stop
Slight shuddering when taking off from stop
After Fix No No-go issues
No more hesitations on stop
Minimal shuddering when taking off from stop (but not as much as before fix). Seems to have a bit more pep to the ride. No longer need to put in Sports mode when going on those short on ramps on NY highways.
One other note - the fix was "included" when I did my oil change and had the hood latch / cluster recall done. Did not ask for the fix nor was I told about it. When I picked up my car I noticed on the receipt that it included the DCT fix.
Well, our Tucson had the fix done but just two days ago this happened...
At an intersection and was at a complete stop in the middle of the road waiting for traffic to pass so I could make a left turn. When clear, pressed gas and nothing! Then the car started producing a terrible smell and smoke. Thought the car was on fire. Immediately turned car off and placed into park. (Yes still in middle of intersection). Wasn't too busy luckily.
The clutch was smoking. Car rev'd but no movement.
Had to clear intersection so started car back up. Started fine and moved to parking lot for closer inspection. All seemed fine.

I recently had my car serviced for an oil change and tire rotation. I asked if they would verify the tire pressure (which they should be doing anyway as I understand) and inflate them to factory spec of 35psi. I was assured it was all taken care of as noted on my receipt.
Although, after driving the vehicle and checking the tire pressure read outs... nothing had changed and my tires were still about 32-33psi and the fronts were still more than the rear as it was before. This made me wonder if the tire rotation and inflation was actually done at all. I'm suspicious like that ; )
Is there any way to know or self-verify if the update was actually performed on a vehicle?

I wish there was for us end users to check but there probably is not. I'm sure the techs have the computers with the required software that they use to perform these updates and check versions but don't think anything like that is available to us.
I have a blutooth OBDII reader but it doesn't show any advanced info like ECU version...
Had the update completed on Friday, didn't drive any different afterwards. But I never had any issue with it before. I'll know more about mileages later in the week. IT wasn't used much over the weekend.
I had that done today (thanks to this forum for alerting me to the update, which I then found on my spot in my hyundai). The dealership called it at DCT Control Logic Improvement as well as the TCU Update 16-01-035. So far no problems since, though I've only driven the forty miles from the dealership to the office to home. It has been 2,300 miles since I had a no go situation, of which I have had two. Time will tell if this update is a fix. But then with all computers, the updates are never ending.
So far, so good. Fix performed the morning after it was downloaded to the dealer.
I must admit, @cdnuser's post has one of my nerve's twitching. Rather than tell the missus about this, I'll simply remind her (AGAIN) if the slightest no-go happens, let me know, IMMEDIATELY. Don't want her worrying herself needlessly at every intersection. She's crazy in love with her Tucson! :wub: As I said, so far the car is going great. Hoping that it continues. :thumbsup:
I don't think you'll need to worry. I confirmed that cdnuser's located in Canada and that the TCU update isn't issued there yet - they only had the re-learn done.
cdnuser's post has me worried because us Canadians can't get the fix yet and Hyundai Canada won't provide a release timeline. Our Tuscon seems to get worse the hotter the weather gets. My wife experienced the no-go putting the car in the garage the other day. Had to leave the car halfway in and halfway out of the garage for an hour before the car would move again. Hyundai Canada's reaction to this was to wait until the next day and call back in to speak to another agent, upon which I was told that Hyundai Canada is "monitoring the situation." Not sure what this means but I'll tell you from a customer's perspective it makes me feel like Hyundai Canada doesn't care about their customers. We are such a small market to them we can wait, perhaps indefinitely for something offered to US customers, like Apple CarPlay, or a major transmission bug fix. Shameful on Hyundai's part. OK rant complete...
Got the TC update today. Haven't put many miles on it yet, but there is definitely a difference in taking off from a stop. Pre fix it had a slight delay off the line, where it felt like you were slipping the clutch on a manual transmission. This has been greatly reduced. The rolling California stop issue, seems to be much improved as well. So far very happy with the update! I'll test it out thoroughly after work
This is my first post in the Hyundai Forum. I purchased a 2016 Tucson Limited around mid June and have been lurking here from time to time. Thanks to everybody for the helpful info on fixing the DTC. Mine has been having issues but not nearly as bad as some. I have an appointment tomorrow morning to have it reprogrammed along with fixing the hood latch recall.
Enjoy the new car and welcome to the forum. I purchased mine on June 5th, and had the update done yesterday, August 15th. The car drove just fine today, hopefully a good sign.
Thrilled about the new update also here from Boston, it's been about 2days now that I first experienced the no-go from a stop but mine picked up the clutch a few seconds after. I had 3,100 miles on mine and this was the first time it happened. Getting the update as well as my first oil change and the hood latch recall done tomorrow. I wonder how long this will take to finish at the dealer.
Shouldn't take long at all. I had 6000 mile service, oil change, air and cabin filters replaced (my choice), tires rotated, and the hood latch recall done the other day - all in less than 30 mins.
Well, got the software update last week and all was good until this morning when I was making a right on red. Hit the gas, car drifted out slowly while rpms ramped up for about 4-5 seconds, then all of the sudden kicked into gear and burned rubber...not before nearly being rear-ended and getting the finger!
This was not the same as the "no go" I experienced numerous times before the "fix" but serious and dangerous hesitation. Dealer saying nobody they've heard of has had issues. I guess I just wait to be killed...at least my family will be financially fine ?
This seems a bit odd. I would double check with the service department to ensure that they actually did the most recent update below and not mistakenly did just a clutch re-learn:
Campaign # Campaign Type Campaign Description
TMM Service 2016 TUCSON 1.6L TCU UPDATE (16-01-035)
Your situation sounds very similar to mine before I had the TMM campaign completed. I also burned rubber after a hesitation/slow creep/high rev (all in the same instance) after only having the clutch re-learn done. After the clutch re-learn, my car ran slightly better for about two weeks then problems began occurring again. However, after having the most recent campaign/recall done, I've had smooth shifting since.

+1 Agree. TCM on no-go fix takes "about" 15 mins." Rest of time is "hood fix" dependant. I would imagine that the tech's are pretty good at this, as well. Having done "a few" already.
It's the paperwork at the service writer's desk and staging the vehicle in line with the flow. Mounds and mounds of paperwork to be printed and scores of screens to "mouse through."
I took my Tucson in today for the hood latch recall and TCU update. My receipt had this message regarding the TCU update "GDS STATES ALREADY UPDATED"
This obviously didn't seem right to me as I have not taking my car in for any service since the update came out. The receipt has the correct update listed and not the one from earlier this year. I asked the service advisor and all he could say is that they hooked my car up to the system and it went through the process and said it was already updated.
I'm very skeptical about this and will likely make an appointment for the update at a different dealer and see what happens.
Oh...yeah...and I could tell no difference in the performance of my Tucson.
I've asked this before in another thread, yet still wonder if there is any way of knowing or self-verifying that the update was actually performed on a vehicle?

I picked my car up from the dealer today after the update. I can't tell much difference. One thing that is obviously different is the scratch/dent above my passenger side rear tire that happened at the dealership. This whole thing has been kind of a nightmare. At least my western region rep is more receptive to my calls now.
Hmmm...could it be possible that Hyundai USA just reapplied the original "turbo laggy" transmission firmware. You remember the "hesitation" TSB that was issued last December. Maybe it finally hatched its bugs when the weather got warm. Just a little conspiracy theory to spice things up
Try driving the Tuscon and compare it against a Santa Fe 2.0 Turbo Sport with the 'ultimate" package.
I was comparing the specs and according to Edmunds it only showed a 10 inch difference in length and 200 pounds more. The transmission should be bullet proof. A little more but you would sleep better at night.
Thank you for your email regarding a concern with the 2016 Tucson DCT logic. We regret that you are having this experience.
Please be advised that the Campaign was launched yesterday in Canada; TSB 16-C0282. Please make arrangements to have the Campaign completed at your local dealership.
