Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
2017 Hyundai Tucson is part of engine recalls 209 & 966. Car purchased through Carvana begin of May, after initial recall issued but unaware car was impacted. All that is listed on recall page is CAMP 966 - ENGINE MONITORING LOGIC - VARIOUS MODELS which most certainly does not indicate a major issue or immediate need to address. In August, took car in for oil change and almost immediately had the engine fail. The oil change establishment sent to an automotive garage of their choosing to have replaced. At that time the latest and most severe recall was not yet in place. On November 18, quite rapidly, below warning signs and issues were experienced creating a very dangerous situation. * Abnormal (knocking) noise from the engine * Reduced engine power and/or hesitation * Illumination of the Check Engine warning light * Illumination of engine oil pressure warning light * A burning smell, oil leaking, and/or smoke (all of the above) This the led to stranded on the side of road with smoking, dangerous vehicle. Had to have car towed to the nearest dealership Red Rock Grand Junction which then said couldn’t do anything due to not following initial recall for software. Contacted Hyundai customer service repeatedly to try and remedy situation. Finally case manager stated engine repair would begin immediately, but dealership stated would only start after paying $300 for new battery; battery that worked when car was towed. When stated as much, then again told weren’t responsible for replacing engine due to failure to install the software. Nowhere in the campaign information does it state that this is a requirement. Hyundai had created a very dangerous situation and is refusing to remedy based on loophole leaving people stranded with unusable fire hazard cars by no fault of their own.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The engine started making a knocking sound when I left home going to work. I thought that I may have gotten some bad gasoline. No lights were showing on the dash. I work about 30 miles away from home. A few miles away from work the knocking sound increased and still no warning lights on my dash. As I got close to work, less than a mile away, the knocking got extremely loud and the check engine light came on when I pulled in to work. I cannot drive this car and I was afraid that I would be stranded on the road somewhere or the engine may catch on fire because I could smell a burnt odor. A mechanic came to my work place and said he thought that the engine would need rebuilding or replacing. Why Hyundai would have a check engine light finally come on after the engine was about fall apart is just stupid.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Engine started to make a strange noise and wasn't accelerating like normal, there were no dashboard warning or indocation lights. Less than 24 hours later while driving to a mechanic it got significantly worse within minutes of starting and than while driving on the highway a loud kind of snapping noise occured. The vehicle was not able to accelerate and the engine was completely deadlined and had to be coasted into a lot from an off ramp putting myself and others on the road at risk. A trail of oil was visible from where it had coasted and then below it after it got towed. It was taken to the closest mechanic who informed me there was a hole in the engine block and that the vehicle had a recall. It was then taken to a hyundai dealership where it was verbally mentioned that the vehicle broke due to a recall but since then the only statement has been that it would be repaired under warranty and no diagnosis has been provided.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The transmission completely disengages and there is 0 power to the car, it just coasts for about 6 seconds and the car slows down. It happens after a turn from a stop, and at slower speeds around 20 - 30 MPH. You push the gas pedal, and nothing happens, the engine does not rev and you just coast (and slow down). If this happens when I’m pulling out in traffic making a left it could be deadly. I promise you there will be accidents due to this defect and I would imagine some people will die because of it. This happens regularly, it is not a one-time incident. I just bought the vehicle a month ago and it's happened 10 to 20 times.

Potential Consequences:
I am filing a complaint regarding my 2017 Hyunda Tucson engine; I am very concerned about the recall 209 that was released in September 2021, 3 months ago, regarding an engine recall due of premature wear of the connecting rod bearings that can cause engine fire. My vehicle has had significant oil consumption issues for the last 1.5 years, causing me to have to put oil in the car regularly between oil changes, irregular engine noise, oil pressure light illumination as well as engine hesitation and stalling. Each of these things are related to the symptoms cited as an engine issue related to recall 209. There is no remedy available for this issue and no timeline for when one will be released. It is extremely concerning to be driving a vehicle with an engine that may catch fire and I have had zero success in gaining more information from my local dealership or Hyundai Customer Care Center.

NHTSA told me when i take my car there and they determine my car is part of the recall that Hyuandai must add my VIN # to the recall to get fixed. When i took my SUV there hyundai told me they cant look at that because they cant add vin numbers to the recall only NHTSA can do that. So after NHTSA made the appointment for me and waiting over 2 months for my appointment when i tool my car there they told me that was wrong and they can not look at my car. So i left and i still have the same problem. Is this gonna be fixed because i get in a car accident or someone dies. Thank You
