ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

UNKNOWN. I bought my 2017 Hyundai Tuscon brand new in 2016. This car was not owned by anyone prior to me and had 11 miles on the dashboard. I maintained this car as I should have and got oil changes before the suggested time provided by the dealer. Now fast forward to 2020/2021 and my car is louder, making noises, not driving smoothly, and having trouble accelerating sometimes. I tell the dealer and they say nothing is wrong with my car but these problems persist. Eventually while driving to work early this year (spring 2021) my car completely stalls and will hardly drive faster than 5mph. I took the car to a mechanic (not Hyundai because they never have answers) that told me my catalytic converter was completely clogged and that it was an unusual thing to see in such a new car with only 100,000 miles on it. They replaced the converter and now it doesn’t stall. The car still continues to drive less smooth and the engine knocks and makes rattle noises but Hyundai still says they don’t see any other issue with the car. My mechanic told me it seems as if the car is burning the oil up because even when i come to get an oil change early it’s always bone dry my car is always starting to get super loud and check engine light comes on well before I’m due to change it so i take it up and get an oil change but i believe this is a defect on the car and i shouldn’t have to continue doing this eventually it’s going to cause even worse problems for my car, i read other reviews and I’m not the only one complaining of the oil burning up with no leak or other explanation, clearly this is a manufacturer defect!

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

bought 2017 Tucson sport new. Within a few months i notice the acceleration was diminished and the vehicle paused when pressing down on gas pedal. Dealer assured me it was related to the dual clutch. Fast forward to April 2019 and the issue never resolved itself and ultimately resulted in a thrown rod. Engine was replaced. Dec 2020 car shakes violently on highway brought back to the shop dealer claims nothing is wrong. June 4th have oil changed per schedule by jun9 i am smelling smoke upon exiting car. Check oil and it is on low. drop off at dealer they claim nothing is wrong. Force me to pay for another oil change and perform a 500 mile oil consumption test which will involve me driving this car on the highway with an engine that can seize at any moment potentially killing me or others on the road. Leave dealership and the car continues to spew smoke from tail pipe. No check engine lights appear during either event. This is incredibly dangerous and needs to be added to a lawsuit. Hyundai knows this is an issue but they do nothing and people will die.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I bought my 2017 Hyundai Tuscon with 38,905 miles on it. My engine blew up at 70,806 miles while I was on my way to work.My husband was changing the oil and when he pulled the oil plug from the oil pan, NOTHING came out of the pan. We assumed the dealer just didn't put oil back in it or not enough. The mileage on the Tuscon the last time we took it to the dealer was at 54,988. We put a 7,500-mile oil change in it and the next oil change, it was dry again. No oil light, no engine light, no oil spots on the ground or the engine. No evidence of it leaking anywhere. Fast forward a few oil changes, sooner than suggested, we changed the oil at around 68,000 miles with no issues (only because we were changing the oil every 3,500 miles or so). Then while on my way home from work one evening, all my dash lights came on, my car sounded and ran extremely rough for the 15 miles I had until I reached my house. As I pulled up the driveway, you could hear it knocking loudly so I checked my oil and the engine was BONE DRY, it had only been 2,200 miles since the last oil change so it shouldn't have been empty. We added the 5 quarts of oil that it needed and drove it down the road a mile or so to listen and feel it, nothing was wrong; it sounded fine and ran well. The next morning it ran for 15 min in my driveway, warming up, and drove 8 miles and I heard a loud clank. It stalled, I was able to start it back up, it stalled again and I had to coast it half a mile to get it out of the road and into a driveway out of harm's way. It had to be towed to the dealer. They ran several tests to find out that "cylinder 3 had spun its bearings leaving heavy amounts of metal in the oil and pan noted, premature material failure of bearing is cause of rod knocking. Engine will need replaced due to introduction of metal on all moving components." It was in the shop for a month being repaired and now with only 5,222 miles on the engine, I've already had to add almost 4 quarts of oil in 2 months.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

When accelerating from a stopped position, the car will sometimes not move forward or will sometimes surge forward at high speed or will at other times move forward but will do so in a jerky uncontrolled manner. Been trying to get the dealer to fix this but I'm told this condition is normal. There's no way this is normal! When pulling onto a busy highway I never know if the car will respond to acceleration of not move for several seconds. This car is dangerous and I feel that it's only a matter of time that I will be in an accident because of this condition.

Been trying to get the dealer to fix this but I'm told this condition is normal. There's no way this is normal! When pulling onto a busy highway I never know if the car will respond to acceleration of not move for several seconds. This car is dangerous and I feel that it's only a matter of time that I will be in an accident because of this condition.

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

THE VEHICLE WOULD START TO MOVE AND THEN FREQUENTLY STALL (ABRUPTLY LOSE POWER) WHEN ACCELERATING TO GO FROM A STOP. IT WAS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN, AS IT WOULD STALL IN THE PATH OF ONCOMING VEHICLES. IT WAS ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR BEHIND MINE WOULD ACCELERATE TO GO, AFTER IT APPEARED I WAS MOVING, AND WOULD THEN NEED TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION TO NOT REAR-END MY CAR AS IT STALLED MOMENTARILY. AFTER STALLING, THE VEHICLE WOULD EITHER LUNGE FORWARD SUDDENLY, OR I WOULD HAVE TO RELEASE AND QUICKLY REAPPLY THE ACCELERATOR. I ALSO EXPERIENCED THREE OCCASIONS WHEN THE CAR WOULD MOVE FORWARD WHILE IT WAS IN REVERSE GEAR. BOTH OF THOSE ISSUES ALSO CREATED SOME VERY SCARY CLOSE CALLS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I own a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. While trying to get my elderly Grandmother out of the backseat to her appointment the rear drivers side door failed and would not open. After multiple attempts trying to open from outside and inside my ninety year old Grandmother had to maneuver herself to get out of the other door. This is a safety issue and Hyundai needs to address it. I have spoke with multiple Hyundai owners whom have experienced the same problem. What if there was an emergency/fire and no access to an available door??? I’m unsure if my service warranty will cover it, I’m scheduled to have it replaced but of course Hyundai is out weeks for appointments. With growing concern and thousands with the same problem this needs to be addressed immediately!

VEHICLE PREVIOUSLY HAD THE SAME CONDITION AND IT WAS SENT TO DEALERSHIP AROUND NOVEMBER 2019, THEY REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION AND INSTALLED A NEW CRANKSHAFT OIL SEAL. PREVIOUS OIL CHANGE MAINTENTANCE WAS DONE BY A HYUNDAI DEALER AND THEY DIDN'T NOTIFY THE ISSUE. NOW WHEN I CHECKED THE ENGINE AND TOUCHED THE AREA, I GOT ENGINE OIL. NOW I WILL CHECK HOW I CAN SEND THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH THE WARRANTY OF THE CAR BECAUSE IF I GO TO ANOTHER HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECK THAT THE CAR WASN'T BOUGHT WITH THEM, THEY GIME ME A EXTREMELLY LONG DATE TO CHECK THE CAR AFTER THAT THEY WON'T FIX. ALSO THEY DON'T LIKE TO GET WARRANTY CLAIMS OR RECALLS DURING WEEKENDS. AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND COMPLETED THE WARRANTY CLAIM (CRANKSHAFT SEAL) HAS CHANGED THE OWNERSHIP AND THEY SAY THAT THE CAR RECORDS DOESN'T APPEAR IN THEIR SYSTEMS. I WOULD NEVER BUY ANOTHER CAR FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

We had a recent onset of issues with our 2017 Tucson Limited Ultimate that is alarming and potentially dangerous. I am most concerned with the safety of my wife and child as this is her primary vehicle. We have a new issue, relating to the door locks - that I would like to address, but would like to give the recent history or events before I get to that. We recently addressed a recall relating to a brake module - a potential fire hazard, as well as failed Turbo that caused a sudden loss of power at a critical time. This could have been a potential wreck, but thankfully it was avoided. Now we are at another safety issue that needs to be addressed with the door locks. This is concerning, inconvenient, and most likely not covered as a recall as it should be. Around 6 months ago there was a sudden power loss and whistling sound from the engine compartment. This happened while entering a turn in a busy intersection, which could have caused an accident. I took it to the dealer, and the problem was diagnosed as a faulty Turbo Charger and required order and replacement. Luckily this was covered on the warranty. The problem was resolved. Then I received a notification of a recall for the Brake Control Module because of the potential of fire in the engine compartment. I scheduled an appointment at my local dealer and had that replaced at no additional cost to me. My local dealership was about to resolve this issue as well. Today, I went to take my daughter to school and the rear passenger door would not open from the outside or the inside. The door lock clicks, but we are not able to exit the vehicle from that side or open the door from the outside. Upon researching on the internet, it's a ongoing issue with the door actuator. https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/rear-passenger-door-wont-open.603329/ I scheduled an appointment for Monday, but it is again, a safety issue, and this will not be covered and most likely cost me out of pocket. Can you help?
