Have the DCT Problems Been Sorted?

They're all the same throughout the years of production, dry clutch system, but from what I read, the 2020 Hyundai and the 2021 Kia will dump that trans.

Seems that they, Hyundai/Kia "experiment" with designs that aren't thoroughy tested and find that in the real world those designs fail considerably. Direct injection engine finally had another injector installed to clean the intake valve in the 2020 Hyundai, and hopefully the engines won't self destruct as the earlier designs, along with dropping the terrible DCT, 2021 Kia to follow with changes.

Just thought I'd add, Hyundai had a class action suit filed against them because of the DCT problems, and because of the settlement, looks like Hyundai's going to pay out more money.
Will it ever end?
