Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
ENGINE FAILURE AT 121K MILES. I DRIVE LONG DISTANCES FOR WORK SO THE MILES ARE SUPER EASY NOT STOP AND GO. I NOTICED A KNOCKING NOISE AT CERTAIN THROTTLE PEDAL POSITIONS, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS BARELY TOUCHING THE DIP STICK SO I BOUGHT A QUART OF OIL AND THIS PUT THE LEVEL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ACCEPTABLE RANGE ON THE DIP STICK. I PROCEEDED TO GET SOMEWHERE CLOSER TO MY HOME. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STARTED BLINKING SO I GOT OFF ONTO THE EXIT AND AT THE TOP THE MOTOR MADE A HARD NOISE AND STOPPED AND ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASH AND SMOKE CAME FROM UNDER THE CAR. THERE WAS OIL ON THE GROUND SO I ASSUME THE OIL PAN HAD A HOLE FROM A ROD FAILURE. I CHANGE MY OWN OIL EVERY 7500N MILES WHEN THE FACTORY SETTING TELLS ME IT'S TIME. I USE MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC OIL AND A GOOD FILTER EVERY TIME. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED THE FIRST TIME AT HYUNDAI OF ONTARIO, CALIF AND THE SECOND TIME AT JIFFY LUBE IN REDLANDS, CA. THE PRICE FOR SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGE WAS RIDICULOUS WHEN I CAN DO IT FOR HALF MINIMUM. HYUNDAI HAS SAID SINCE I HAVE NO INVOICES FOR OIL CHANGES THEY WILL NOT COVER MOTOR FULLY? I KNOW THE COMPUTER CAN BE ACCESSED TO SEE THE DATES WHEN I RESET THE METER MILES. I KNOW SINCE DOING MY RESEARCH HYUNDAI HAS HAD THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS WITH PRIOR YEAR CARS. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM A CAR LIKE THIS SHOULD LAST WELL INTO 200 TO 300K MILES WHEN TAKEN CARE OF PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD A HONDA AND TOYOTA THAT DID HIGH MILEAGE WITH NO PROBLEMS. HYUNDAI STILL HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2.0 LITER MOTORS. THE WARRANTY NEEDS TO BE MADE LONGER TO 200K MILES IF THEY HAVE REALLY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR. I WILL NEVER BUY OR RECOMMEND A HYUNDAI VEHICLE TO ANYONE!

OUR 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON IS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF OIL. WE ARE HAVING A CONSUMPTION TEST DONE. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE WE HAD THE OIL CHANGE AND HE SAID HE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT HYUNDAI TUCSON'S BURNING THROUGH A LOT OF OIL. I DID SEE A LAWSUIT FOR THE 2016 MODELS AND THINK 2017 MODELS ARE HAVING SIMILAR ISSUE. OUR SEAT RECLINING ELECTRICAL BUTTON IS ALSO FAILING THE SEAT TO RECLINE PROPERLY.

PROCEEDING ON THE NEXT HIGHWAY THE CAR CONTINUALLY STALLED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES BEFORE FINDING A SAFE PULLOVER; PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHER LIVES AT RISK. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF MY VEHICLE FOLLOWING ALL MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES TO KEEP A HAPPY AND HEALTHY VEHICLE.

Potential Consequences:
THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION, UNBEKNOWNST TO ME WHEN I PURCHASED IT USED NOV 2019. HAD I KNOWN, AND RESEARCHED ALL THE ISSUES, I WOULD NEVER HAVE BOUGHT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS DUE TO THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION STALLS WHEN FIRST STARTING AND AS YOU PUSH THE GAS A LITTLE MORE TO GET IT TO GO, IT JETS FORWARD TOO FAST. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HYUNDAI AND NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON SNOWY ROADS, WHICH I DID THIS PAST WINTER AND FELT VERY UNSAFE DUE TO THE STALL AND THEN JET FORWARD ISSUE. I WOULD NEVER ALLOW A NEW/YOUNG DRIVER TO USE THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN A COUPLE TIMES I WAS ALMOST HIT BECAUSE OF THE STALL WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND ALSO A FEW TIMES WHEN I FELT I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE JETTING FORWARD. MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE WAS ALSO A HYUNDAI TUCSON, MINUS THE DUAL CLUTCH, AND IT WAS THE BEST VEHICLE I'D EVER OWNED. PASSED IT DOWN TO MY BROTHER WITH 265,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL GOING STRONG. I HAD NO IDEA HYUNDAI HAD CREATED THIS DUAL CLUTCH AND NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING EVER SINCE I PURCHASED IT USED NOV 2019 AND I HAVE CONTACTED HYUNDAI TWICE ABOUT IT. THE FIRST TIME THEY HAD ME TAKE IT IN TO RESET THE DRIVER TRAINING MODE. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I NOW KNOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER TRADED IT IN WITH ONLY 14,000 MILES. :(

Potential Consequences:
BOUGHT THE CAR NEW IN FEBRUARY 2017. AS OTHERS HAVE NOTED, WHEN I APPLY THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATES AND THEN SURGES. VERY DANGEROUS AT INTERSECTIONS WHERE YOU HAVE TO GET UP TO SPEED AMONG OTHER CARS. BACKING UP ON A HILL IS VERY DIFFICULT - NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL IT SUDDENLY JUMPS. HOLDING AND INCHING FORWARD ON A HILL IS SIMILARLY A CHALLENGE. THE DEALER OF COURSE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. THE THIRD TIME I COMPLAINED THEY FINALLY SAID IT WAS A DESIGN ISSUE AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. OTHER THAN THAT, THE CAR IS QUITE WELL DESIGNED. I REALLY LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE. BUT HYUNDAI REALLY SCREWED THIS UP AND I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE SUCH AN UNSAFE CAR. I WILL PROBABLY SELL IT AT A LOSS AND I DOUBT I'LL EVER BUY ANOTHER HYUNDAI. VERY POOR. THIS FORM REQUIRES ME TO PUT A DATE THAT THE INCIDENT HAPPENED. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, SO I JUST ENTERED THE DAY I BOUGHT THE [XXX] THING.

SEVERAL TIMES NOW WHEN MY CAR IS AT A COMPLETE STOP, AND I TRY TO PRESS THE GAS THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE FOR AT LEAST 2-3 SECONDS AND THEN WHEN IT DOES BEGIN TO MOVE, IT CREEPS ALONG. IT IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA IF MY CAR WILL BE FAST ENOUGH TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD TO BACK UP WHEN I REALIZED MY CAR WAS NOT GOING TO MAKE THE GAP WHEN TURNING LEFT, OR I HAVE MISSED A LIGHT BECAUSE THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE SECONDS ON END. THIS IS ONE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE DEALT WITH BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A LIFE THREATENING ACCIDENT. ONE INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WAS WHEN I WAS ATTEMPTING TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY CAR WAS STATIONARY. WHEN I BEGAN TO PULL OUT, MY CAR WAS LAGGING TERRIBLY, TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD MISSED A VERY CLEAR GAP AND HAD TO BACK UP QUICKLY AND OUT OF THE WAY OF AN ONCOMING CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING AT AT LEAST 60 MPH. NOT ONLY WAS THIS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I HAD NO SPEED TO GET ONTO THE HIGHWAY, I FELT LIKE A SITTING DUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER I FOUND ANOTHER OPENING TO PULL OUT, MY CAR STILL DID NOT REACT QUICK AND IT WAS CRAWLING UNTIL IT HIT ABOUT 30 MPH, WHICH ON A HIGHWAY IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUSS SPEED TO BE TRAVELING AT.
