FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
There is a problem with the transmission which doesn't allow us to accelerate fully. It usually happens when the truck is warmed up and very rarely happens when the truck is cold but the problem is that when you take off from a stoplight it does not accelerate like it should it holds back. You normally press down on the gas pedal to go and it just does not want to go and then it finally Clicks in and the truck goes but then it goes right back to not accelerating. If I had to pass cars I don't have the power to do that or if I'm on the highway switching lanes it struggles to keep up speed and climbing Hills on the highway it does not want to go and at times the RPMs go a lot higher than they should when Switching gears! I did read that the prior years to my Tucson did have a transmission recall but the 2017 does not.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
There are 3 recalls associated with this VIN...unsure why you are not seeing them on your end. We got a notice in the mail last week for Hyundai Recall Number 209 NU Engine. We contacted the dealership where we purchased the car and they couldn't get us in until June 17th. On Friday, May 13th while driving down 90 interstate the car's engine died and the automobile had to be towed to the dealership. Due to worker shortages the dealer is saying it could take up to a year to fix and did not offer alternative transportation. We are now in the process of securing a rental and trying to find another automobile while still having car payments on this one that was entirely due to a manufacturer issue. We want full reimbursement of all costs associated with this hardship. (RECALL RELATED INCIDENT) TS

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I purchased my 2017 Tucson in 2020. It was the first car I’ve ever owned. I do not know much about cars but I noticed that there was some hesitation in acceleration and the engine was loud. Sometimes I would hear soft knocking on colder days but nothing extreme. I was told that the acceleration hesitation and the loud engine are due to the turbo. Then on 4/27/2022, without any warning, my engine stalled while I was at a traffic light. More importantly, I had ZERO warning lamps or messages. No engine warning or oil light was illuminated. My engine suddenly stalled. I don't drive my car very far. Use is relatively light. On average I drive about 10-20 miles per day. No one was hurt but what if this had happened on the highway? I would have definitely been rear-ended and hurt. My car passed inspection on 09/10/21. But earlier this year, on 22nd February 2022, I took it to the dealer for the engine recall (NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000). They assessed it and said it passed the tests but I have no way of knowing because the dealer would not share the full report. Additionally, the dealer did not address that the vehicle warning lamps and messages were not working when they noticed my oil was low. Hyundai has a long history of engine issues and recalls with regards to high oil consumption and connecting rod bearings inside the engine may wear prematurely. There are hundreds of complaints that match my description. Their engines have had issues since 2020 and these complaints date back to 2020 around the time I bought this vehicle. Even though there were no recalls at the time, the dealer should have disclosed these issues. I think it's negligence by Hyundai and the dealer for investigating why my warning lamps did not illuminate and did not properly communicate the seriousness of these issues.

Potential Consequences:
TCM component failed. Cause engine light to come on. During driving I went into reverse and it immediately stopped and shut completely off. If I was on the highway I would be in a severe accident. Hyundai inspected it but won’t give me the diagnosis or the issue with the car specifically. Initially when it happened no lights were on. It just shut down and wouldn’t move. A couple days later check engine came on.
Corrective Action:

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
Potential Consequences:
door handle latch will not open door from inside or out due to either defective latch or cable. this is a very dangerous condition for occupant that could become trapped and unable to escape vehicle. seems that there are multiple reports of this happening. I already had one such latch replaced while my vehicle was still under warranty now another has failed. Thankfully this was not an emergency situation.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Went in for recalls in feb, not even 2 weeks later car was put into limp mode check engine light flashing. Car was towed to dealership where car was purchased where they said it was due to metal shavings in engine. Car was delivered to Hyundai where they diagnosed it with a faulty knock sensor which had just been replaced not even 2 weeks prior. After getting it towed to another Hyundai dealer for a second opinion was told that bolts from the recall work were cross threaded and broken off into motor causing the metal shavings. Really unclear as to what happened but Hyundai refuses to replace engine warranty was denied. Unsure if Hyundai is aware of the failed engine due to recalls

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
My 2017 Hyundai Tucson refuses to accelerate after a complete stop at a traffic light, or just refuses to change gears after making a turn, or simply just lose power although on cruise control while drive on the freeway. I have reported the issue several times to Hyundai and the dealership, it seems that nothing can't be done and Hyundai is not taking my concerns seriously. I am not afraid to drive the car since I have a long commute to work, I escape several accidents before because the other drivers were cautious and kind enough when they notice that my car couldn't accelerate. Drivers have blown the horn at me on the highway because the car refuses to accelerate or change gear while I am driving. I can press the gas pedal all the way down, still nothing. When I press the gas pedal down, the engine start shaking and making a weird noise while the car still not accelerating or changing gears. I also notice that I am burning more fuel than expected, and I always get below the average for typical MPG. I personally consider this car is unsafe to drive, and I am strongly thinking about trade it in.
