2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

FIRSTOF ALL I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALLS WHICH NEED TO BE COMPLETED. WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY THE ENGINE BLEW UP AND CAR BROKE DOWN. THERE IS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE, I TOWED THE CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE OCCURED BECAUSE THE RECALL WAS NOT COMPLETED. I TOWED THE CAR TO HYUNDAI IN PARAMUS WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO FIX MY CAR CLAIMING I NEED TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE OF $800. I ADVISED THEM THAT I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBE FOR THIS FEE AS THE ENGINE FAILED DUE TO MANUFACURER ISSUE. THEY HAVE MY CAR FOR 2 WEEKS NOW AND EVERYTIME I CALL THEY ASK FOR MONEY AND HANG UP THE PHONE. RECALLS SHOULD BE FOR FREE, ITS THE LAW.

I recently had a car accident, which has made dealing with my car issues even more stressful. On April 23rd, I went for a recall appointment at Kerry Hyundai in Florence. While the anti-rust recall was covered, the mechanic informed me that the remedy for my specific issue wasn't available. This was surprising, as I received a letter stating that the remedy for my Tucson, identified by its VIN, was available as of April 3, 2024. This seems like clear negligence, and I need assistance from www.safercar.gov. Here is the message I sent and the responses from the Kerry representative. Unfortunately, I can't attach the screenshot. **Recall Notice:** - Date: 2024-04-03 - Manufacturer recall issued - NHTSA: #23V651000 - Recall: #251 ABS FUSE REPLACEMENT (VARIOUS MODELS) - Status: Remedy Available I urgently need an appointment before 9 am at the soonest available time for my 2013 Tucson recall. Despite my visit for another recall and this recall on April 23rd, the agent's responses were negligent. They claimed the Tucson is not under Hyundai Recall Number: 251 as of April 23, 2024, which contradicts the recall notice. Here are the responses: - "So I just checked it will still stay on there because there's no fix for this vehicle yet." - "It's only for the Sonatas and Santa Fe Sport." - "The vehicle listed in this is how we can proceed but the Tucson is not yet available."

NHTSA campaign number 19V063000 Engine oil leaks

We experienced engine failure of a 2013 Hyundai Tucson on 2/20/24. There were no warning lights displayed on the instrument panel. There was an unidentified noise and a loss of power/compression. We are in the process of learning the difference between a Service Campaign and a Recall Notification and I can’t say we understand it yet. We were not notified nor aware of potential engine failure issues. The research we’ve been able to obtain regarding Service Campaign 966 (“SC966”) appears to exclude the 2013 Tucson model unless it has a Theta II engine. The service department at Dick Smith Hyundai stated that if we would have had our car serviced at the dealership, we would have been informed of SC966. As we are the second owner of an eleven-year-old vehicle, we do not typically have it serviced at a dealership. Oddly enough, we received a notification regarding the knock sensor on 3/18/24 almost one month after we contacted Hyundai Customer Support and after the vehicle was towed to Dick Smith dealership and we spoke with the service department. We have been informed by the local dealership (Dick Smith Hyundai service department) that it is unlikely that the engine will be replaced under the Hyundai Class Action Lawsuit, or any open Recalls and it will be 2-4 months before a decision is rendered regarding the matter. We are also being charged a diagnostic fee for their services of approximately $200.00. Regardless of the recall coverage, our experience with this vehicle engine seems to mimic the exact same symptoms and issues as the Make/Models that are included in the published Recall notice by Kia/Hyundai, and we would like to make this known to protect other consumers and to see if there is any recourse and/or assistance for us.

With the recall in February 2023 my vehicle has a burning smell when I'm driving it which I don't feel safe in however, I have to work. Also, my vehicle will cut for now reason while driving which is so not safe as it has happened several times while on the highway. Something needs to be done or Hyundai needs to buy back my car. There have been several recalls

I am writing about the recall on the Hyundai vehicles that apparently are at risk for catching fire. Hyundai sent a letter that told us to park it away from our house and garage structures. We got this letter in early November and I called customer service as well as emailed to find out when we would hear about a fix. First of all, to get to a human being takes a minimum of 4 minutes. Then, they can’t tell me a darn thing. I found out from my first contact that we would hear something by the “end of the month.” That was in November. Well, November came and went and it has started to snow. No one wants to park outside nor do we care to have the house and car catch fire. I called and emailed again on December 2nd and the line was, “Well, we just don’t have a fix yet. Keep waiting.” If this is so serious, why can’t someone figure this out? Surely they have engineers working for them who have some idea as to how to fix this. It can’t be that difficult. Take out the parts that catch fire and replace them with good parts. It is my feeling that they are looking a cheap way out since this involves so many vehicles. Next, I attempted to reach the corporate office through an email. They contacted my husband on December 5th and offered him $100. What are we supposed to do with that? We need the car fixed. The snowplow cannot plow the driveway with his car outside of the garage. I really need to know what the timeline is on this. I am so disgusted with the lack of communication and the poor customer service. Please, is there anything at all that can be done?

I have owned the vehicle for 10 months and it had about 80,000 miles on it. The engine light started flashing 2 days ago. The vehicle started running rough, so I drove 10 miles back home at no more than 40 mph. I took the vehicle to my trusted mechanic. He conducted a diagnostic test & received a code 1326, which meant there was a vibration indicating excessive connecting rod bearing wear. He advised me this is a common issue with this 2.4 liter engine. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer. While at the dealer, a mechanic came in with a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. We started speaking and found out the Sonata he brought in was having the same issue and is also a 2.4 litre four cylinder engine, which produced a 1326 code during a diagnostic test.

350 miles from home the car started a knocking noise and that the engine failed. My family was in risk , i had my 2 year old son in the car and it was behind shock. No lamp no nothing. On my expenses took the car with a tow company and send it to a mechanic, he told me this cars are recalled. I got shocked again because Hyundai never send me mail or something for the KSDS update recall

Camshaft Sensors keep going bad. I just replace both sensors last year cost me over $500 and now I'm getting a readout that its bad again. Check engine light has been coming on & off intermittently ever since. vehicle only has 881 miles on it. it was hardly driven.

The automobile has 99,800 miles driven on it. While I was driving on the interstate, the engine seized up and shut off almost causing an accident and left me stranded 193 miles from home. The vehicle was inspected and there were metal shavings in the oil pan. A new engine is needed to repair this vehicle.

I was driving on the freeway and my engine started making a knowing sound. Then my car died. I pulled over to the side and couldn't even brake and I had to put the emergency brake on. Then when I tried to start my car it made a loud screeching noise from the engine so I turned it back off. I have had it checked out by a mechanic who says it's a rod bearing went out. It is common with my vehicle but my specific year hasn't been recalled but other years have been recalled for the same problem.

Engine made some rattling noise, then smoke came from muffler while driving on a highway. The vehicle stalled and the vehicle needed to be towed. The vehicle was inoperable (unable to start the engine)..

The vehicle has an engine oil leak at the oil pan gasket. This was previously recalled by Hyundai (19V063000) as potentially causing a sudden loss of power or rapid slowing of the vehicle during operation. The Hyundai dealership addressed that recall by placing RTV on the gasket. It appeared to fix the issue for a few months to a year. Then I noticed the vehicle was dripping oil and that it appeared to be coming from the oil pan gasket. The "fix" that Hyundai previously performed has stopped working resulting in the same safety issue as identified in the prior recall. My wife took the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership today and where they confirmed that it was leaking from the oil pan and quoted $396 to fix it. My wife was told that they would not remediate the safety issue since they already performed work for that recall and it had been a year. I feel this is a serious issue - that the work they did to resolve a safety recall has failed and they are unwilling to fix it. I wonder if the work to my vehicle was done correctly compared to others (did the remediation call for RTV to be used?), or if Hyundai did not take the correct approach to remediate the issue (should it have been a new, thicker gasket instead of the RTV?). In either case, the fix has failed and resulted in the same deficient safety condition stated in the prior recall.

This is in direct relation to Hyundai Recall Campaign 181. NHTSA recall # 19Vx-063. Engine stalled without warning - no engine light - in February of 2020. Vehicle was towed to a local certified and well known auto repair shop for $115.00. Owner of repair shop advised he looked for recalls and at that time, nothing was showing up for my vehicle and because the engine had 171,000 miles on it, we authorized him to locate the same engine (used) and install it. Cost to us, $5000.00. It wasn't until months (?) year (?) down the road that we received a recall notice from Hyundai; campaign recall 181. (Their letter's are not dated nor are the envelopes postmarked with dates, so I cannot provide those dates). My vehicle was slated to be inspected on 12/3/21; I advised the dealership that it is not the original engine, but the vehicle never made it to the inspection. The weekend prior to 12/3/21 (Thanksgiving weekend of 2021), the vehicle stalled (engine seized) on the highway at 65mph; lost power steering and it had to be towed. Our cost $310. We have a video where you can hear the awful grinding noises it made during that time. This time we towed the vehicle to the dealership where they confirmed the engine seized. Hyundai denied any claim to the engine seize. This used engine had less than 100,000 miles on it when it seized. We expected they would fix this one, but they told the dealership that since we did not get the 1st engine fixed by the dealership they won't replace the 2nd engine for us. We towed the vehicle back to our home where it is sitting. Safety was definitely a concern at 65mph and engine seizing; lost power steering. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership. No warning lights or messages; the grinding noise just came out of nowhere and the vehicle continued to lose power and stall on the side of the highway.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that after her husband made a right turn at a low rate of speed, the engine ceased without warning. The vehicle failed to restart after multiple attempts. Due to the failure, her husband had the vehicle towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with engine failure. The manufacturer had been notified and informed her that there were no recalls on the vehicle; they offered no further assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired and remained in the possession of the mechanic. The failure mileage was 121,600.

Mileage: 121,600

My engine failed without any check engine lights prior. Started making a REALLY loud flapping noise when accelerating and would get worse the higher the RPM and the higher MPH. Even while coasting the noise was still prominent. It started around 12pm on 12/11/2021 and at 1:07pm (approximately 1 hour later) on the same day, it officially failed. The noise had started and gradually got worse while I was on the highway going approximately 65-70mph. I had stopped and pulled over shortly after it had started and made some calls to some certified Hyundai dealers to try and see what to do. I had made an appointment for first thing on Tuesday morning, 12/14/2021. I told them I would drop it off as soon as possible because I was sure it was going to blow. Tuesday appointment was the earliest appointment available at ANY Hyundai dealer within an acceptable/safe range. After I had made the calls, I proceeded to try and make it home. I was about 35-40 miles to home and my engine got EXTREMELY loud and not running properly. I was approximately 10 minutes from the dealership I bought my car from and I decided, if I made it there that I would leave the car there and not drive it home because I did not feel safe. About 45-60 seconds after the noise got so loud I couldn’t hear the radio. I was trying to find a safe spot to pull over but apparently didn’t make the decision in time because at 65-70mph (cruise control set at 67mph) my engine made a crash/boom sound then every light on my car’s dash lit up and car longer was functioning. I got pulled off to the curb immediately and shut the car off. Approx 5/2021, check engine came on, code read all cylinders were misfiring, spark pugs were changed because no engine failure was detected. My KDS recall serviced 11/27/2021, approximately 78,000-79,000 miles. Shop never mentioned and concerns with my car while it was there. Engine failed just over 80,000 miles.

The whole engine shut down as I was going 70 mph on an interstate. At that time both the oil light and battery light came on. Once I pulled over, I could smell burning wires and a haze of smoke started coming in through the front air vents. The SUV was towed first to my mechanic then to the Hyundai service center who said this was a recall defect and they would look into it. At the time of the failure, I was out of cell tower range, but able to make a 911 call from the side of the 4 lane interstate. I was able to put on my hazard lights. I received a ride home from a state trooper. The car had regular oil changes, tire rotations, and normal inspections. Nothing out of the ordinary; no concerns about the engine. No warning lights came on prior to the shut down. It was 100% out of the blue. The Hyundai service center has now informed me the 2013 Hyundai Tucson has an “open campaign” recall on it (#966). They have extended coverage to repair/replace any engine under150,000 miles. My Tucson has 125,197 miles on it, but because I did not see their recall flyer in the mail, this service center is refusing to cover the expense of replacing the engine. Instead, they are asking me to foot the bill to the tune of $12,000.00. This is not an expired recall and a know issue by Hyundai.

Was driving at 70mph on the highway when the failure occurred. The engine began making a very loud knocking noise and I was thankfully able to safely pull over before the car completely shut down. No check engine or oil lamps turned on and there were no signs that the engine was failing. It just all of a sudden started knocking while driving on the highway and I was lucky to get to the side of the road without causing an accident or being stuck in the middle of the highway with a broken engine. Checked the oil and found metal shavings on the dipstick so I called a tow truck to have the vehicle towed to the dealership that last serviced it. The dealership initially kept telling me it was upper engine noise until I pushed them to actually tell me which part failed. They then finally admitted that it was one of the engine bearings. This failure was also 2 months after that same dealership had pulled the oil pan off and replaced the gasket and oil pressure sensor for an active recall. This seems to be a VERY common problem for this 2.4theta engine from Hyundai. Hyundai is refusing to warranty the engine and wants $9600 to replace the engine that failed and left me stranded on the highway 2hrs away from home. The vehicle has now been at the same dealership for over 2 months while I fight with Hyundai's warranty and customer service dept who keep denying my claim that the engine is defective and should be warrantied. While my car has been at this same dealership they have preformed another NEW active recall for programming the knock sensor to sense bearing failures on these engines. THIS NEW RECALL WORK WAS DONE WITHOUT MY CONSENT AND I DID NOT SIGN OFF ON THEM PREFORMING THIS WORK BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS ALREADY HAD A BEARING FAILURE!!!

Was driving on the highway at 74 mph when the engine started knocking and smelled of smoke, no other warning symptoms and all routine maintenance have been performed timely, in fact on-time pul change was performed the day before. I safely exited the highway and when I came to a complete stop at the end of the off ramp the oil, engine _ battery light came on and engine died. I checked the oil - it was clean and full. Had to get towed to a shop. They said the rod in the 4th cylinder is the culprit and requires a new engine ($7,500). I've called the Hyundai dealer and am waiting to hear back. Cars mileage is 139k and otherwise in excellent condition.

I have Only 113186 miles on my Tucson.I started hearing a engine knock while driving the vehicle and then the vehicle started stalling out.The next day I took it to my mechanic.He tested everything then he drained my oil and found metal shavings from the rod bearing and told me the engine was no good.I changed the oil at regular intervals.I found out they have a recall on the 2017-2018 Tucson's with bad bearing issues.The engine is the same as mine the 2.0

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Engine failure while operating vehicle How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? My wife, 2 children and myself were on a busy interstate and immediately lost all power from the engine, unable to accelerate. Had to navigate other vehicles to reach the shoulder where we were stranded for at least an hour. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The independent service center immediately cited well known issues with this specific 2.4L engine and recommended we go to the dealer. Awaiting the dealers feedback at this time. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Not at this time Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? No; the vehicle was well maintained. The oil/fluid levels were appropriate before the start of the trip. No warning lamps or the like were present prior to the incident. No symptoms evident prior to the incident.

Daughter was driving up a mountain pass. Suddenly engine emitted a puff of smoke and she pulled over. Car failed to start after. Noticed oil all over ground. Towed 100 miles over pass into Denver. Mechanic said it was engine failure with a hole blown in the engine. Mileage was only 90K. Well maintained. Insurance wouldn't cover and mechanic advised not to fix because it would require a complete engine overhaul for $6000.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle engine failed. When driving with the cruise control set at 70 mph, the engine emitted a loud knocking sound and the vehicle decelerated. The vehicle powered off and the vehicle rolled onto the road shoulder. The contact was able to open the hood and smoke emitted from under the hood and emitted an engine oil burnt odor. The vehicle was not towed to a dealer or mechanic to have a diagnostic performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 65,000.

Mileage: 65,000

My 81 year old Mother was driving the vehicle when it just stopped on her on a busy intersection and a tow company and police had to be called. The tow company tried to jump the car and it did not work. The mechanic said that the engine is shot and it only has 124k miles and has been well taken care of and all recalls have been addressed. This is a hazardous and dangerous issue that could have ended badly. I contacted the Hyundai dealer that did my recall to check it and they do not have any appointments until 09-15-2021 which is 3 weeks away. I do not understand how a vehicle that has regular maintenance has the engine just go with no prior warning.

Driving on highway 65miles an hour plus, car started making horrible knocking/banging sound. No lights or indicators had went off. I pulled off highway and car just stopped and died. From full speed. Had I not pulled off the highway or was unable to get over it would have stopped without warning and someone could have hit me. I towed the vehicle straight to Hyundai. They told me it was internal engine failure in the lower bearing system. They recommended a full engine replacement. No warning lights. Car was maintained with ALL suggested maintenance and oil changes. My particular car is not under recall however this issue in the 2013 Hyundai happens too frequently for it to be a coincidence. In a well maintained car.

2.4 Theta-II engine failed at 95k miles. The engine is the same engine recalled on the santa fe and sonata and dealer does not want to replace.

Sunday june 20th 2021 My husband and Son were driving down the highway at 70mph (speed limit) suddenly and without warning the car died. He was unable to steer, with his defensive driving training he was able to veer to the side of the road. The engine oil and Battery indicator flashed AFTER he was pulled over to the side of the road. If it wasn't for my husbands training he would have had ZERO abilities to pull the car over. He is a truck driver and this incident scared him. The semi truck behind him almost slammed into him and the car coming twards him. He was worried about the safety of our family as well as everyone on the road. They were in an isolated location with no cell service. He and my son had to walk 5 miles in the 110° heat to call for help. I towed the car to a mechanic who looked at it. He said the oil pan was leaking from the seal. He dropped the pan to look at the damage, he instructed me to call Hyundai after learning there was a recall for that issue.

The contact owns a 2013 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound before the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence and diagnosed by an independent mechanic as engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the contact was informed that the vehicle was no longer under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 207,000.

Mileage: 207,000

Driving vehicle, engine started knocking, noises got louder, engine stalled, caused 360 in the highway, was able to come to a stop on side of road. Inspected by mechanic, noted as engine failure, if vehicle would not have been stopped, would have caused fire in engine.

Driving on the highway at approximately 65 mph. Suddenly heard a knocking sound from the engine. Accelerator lost any power and could not drive. Check engine light, oil light came on. Had to pull off the side of major interstate without any forward power.

I was driving on I-15 in a 80 MPH road in holiday traffic, when suddenly my engine just shut off. I was lucky to squeeze through 2 diesels and onto the shoulder. I only had about 1 foot between my vehicle and passing vehicles. I had my daughter in the car and we were lucky to not have been in a major accident. I tried to restart the Tuscon and it shook and made a horrible banging / pounding sound but didnt turn over. It was towed to Goodyear in Cedar City. They stated it was an engine failure. I contacted Hyundai and they told me I had to get it to a Hyundai dealership. It was towed to Findlay Hyundai in St. George Utah where they confirmed the engine had failed. It only has 106K miles. There was no warning, no indication of issues. I had kept up on maintenance and never had any issues with the vehicle during my time owning it. I am not being compensated in any way. I had someone else pick us up and continued home. I do not have any documentation from the dealership or Goodyear since I was on my way home from vacation.

Recall 181 - failure to complete repairs (defective oil pan seal/switch) as requested by owners, that resulted in a catastrophic, high speed stall, loss of control and engine failure. On Mon May 17, 2021 at 4pm EST our 23 year old daughter and 3 of her college graduate girlfriends were driving from Atlanta to Charleston, SC (65-70 mph) on Hwy I-26 when suddenly & without warning her 2013 Hyundai Tucson engine started knocking, smoking and ultimately exploded throwing a piston through the engine block creating a huge hole and completely seizing up. She couldn't see due to the intense smoke, lost control of the car but thankfully was able to steer it to the roadside. As the girls struggled to get out they saw fire underneath the car and highway shoulder. They called 911. By the time the fire dept arrived, the fire had diminished but not before terrifying the 4 girls that the gas tank might explode. Our daughter & friends were completely frantic stranded on the side of a major hwy. After approx 1 1/2 hours, a County Sheriff drove by and stopped to assist. He took them to the next exit to wait for the tow truck. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai of North Charleston and inspected discovering a large gaping hole in the engine block. We had to pay $599 to have the car shipped back to Atlanta on Mon May 25th. On Thurs May 27, 2021, we went to Rick Case Hyundai in Roswell, GA and met with the GM. It was his service center involved in our attempts on Jan 6, 2021 to get the car repaired as per Hyundai Recall 181 instructions. We were told their was a national shortage of parts, received only an oil change and left driving a totally unsafe car which ultimately could have resulted in serious injuries or even loss of life to 4 young women. The dealership should not have allowed the car to be driven and a loaner car provided until repairs completed. The 2013 Tucson is available for inspection upon request as it is a nonrunning, engine completely totaled, vehicle.

WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BACK IN MY POSSESSION, I CHECKED THE OIL DIP STICK AND IT WAS GLITTERY. THIS TELLS ME THAT SOMETHING INTERNALLY IS WRONG DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS IN MY OIL. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON MY VEHICLE, I'VE COME TO FIND MANY COMPLAINS HAVE BEEN FILED AGAINST HYUNDAI 2.4L MOTORS.

CAR HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE MECHANIC MULTIPLE TIMES. EVERY TIME THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE. SO THIS FINAL TIME TOOK IT TO SOMEONE ELSE AND WAS TOLD THERE IS METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE ENGINE AND THE ENGINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE HAS LESS THAN 115000.00 MILES ON IT. ALL OIL CHANGES HAVE BEEN DONE AND MAITENANCE HAS BEEN KEPT ON THIS VEHICHLE. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND SEE THIS ENGINE IS THE SAME ENGINE THAT WAS PLACED IN OTHER HYUNDAI'S AND KIAS. THIS ENGINE SHOULD ALSO BE PART OF THAT RECALL!!!

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, WHEN SUDDENLY THE ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE TAPPING NOISE, WHICH PROGRESSIVELY GOT LOUDER WITHIN SECONDS, AND THEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD, AND OPENED THE HOOD TO LOOK FOR ANY OBVIOUS SIGN OF TROUBLE. I FOUND NOTHING UNUSUAL. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC. I GOT A CALL INFORMING ME THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS ON THE DIPSTICK, AND THAT HE WANTED TO DROP THE OIL PAN. I TOLD HIM NOT TO , BECAUSE I WAS AWARE OF A RECALL ON OTHER HYUNDAI'S, THAT WERE HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE. THE OIL PAN BOLTS APPEAR TO HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED IN THE PAST, DESPITE AN NHTSA RECALL THAT INSTRUCTED HYUNDAI TECHNICIANS TO REMOVE THE PAN, REPLACE THE GASKET, AND THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. DESPITE THE NHTSA WEBSITE INDICATING THAT MY CAR HAS ALREADY BEEN EXAMINED FOR THIS ISSUE, THE PAN APPEARS TO HAVE NEVER BEEN REMOVED FROM THE CAR.

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR UP IN WYOMING ON I-80 THE DAY BEFORE I GOT MY SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE. MY CAR ALL OF A SUDDEN MADE A LOUD BANGING NOISE ON THE ENGINE AND DIED. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS NO LIGHTS WHATSOEVER THE CAR HAS BEEN RUNNING GREAT. UP UNTIL THIS MOMENT NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH MY CAR I MANAGED TO GET IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ENGINES WAS FRIED. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, ACROSS-THE-BOARD THERE'S SO MANY PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEM. NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THEY HAVE RECALLS ON JUST ABOUT EVERY OTHER MODEL EXCEPT THIS ONE WHICH I THINK IS WRONG CUZ IT'S THE SAME THING HAPPENING.

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE VERIFIED BY MY MECHANIC. RECENT RECALL OF THE HYUNDAI MODELS DID NOT INCLUDE THE TUCSON AND IT SHOULD HAVE.

MY ENGINE LOST POWER AND STARTED TO KNOCK. CONTACTED HYUNDAI USA TO BE TOLD TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR A DIAGNOSIS. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP(ADVANTAGE HYUNDAI). THEY CALLED TO TELL ME "WHY IS MY CAR THERE"?? IN UTTER SHOCK I MENTIONED THAT I HAD CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO ARRANGE FOR ARRIVAL AND HAVE IT DIAGNOSED. THEN WAS MENTIONED A FEE, WHICH WASN'T MENTIONED FROM ANYONE PRIOR TO HAVING MY CAR TOWED. I HAD UPDATED MY REF # FROM HYUNDAI USA ONLY TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE TELLING ME THAT BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY HE CANT HELP. WHY DID IT TAKE OPENING A CASE WITH HYUNDAI, UPDATING THE CASE WITH INFO, HAVING MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP(SUGGESTED BY HYUNDAI USA) TO BE TOLD THERE NOTHING THEY CAN DO?? MY CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE WITH 81K. WHY ARE THESE ENGINES FAILING?? AND WHY ARE THE CONSUMERS VICTIMS TO INFERIOR PRODUCT?? BTW HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS DON"T HELP THE CONSUMER. IT'S MORE OF HYUNDAI EXPLAINING THERE WARRANTY.

ON 10/20/20, LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT I THOUGHT I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE, BUT AS I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOW TO LISTEN, I DIDN'T HEAR ANYTHING. I CHECKED THE DASH FOR WARNING LIGHTS; THERE WERE NONE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS ALSO NORMAL, SO I CONTINUED HOME. ABOUT 10 MIN. LATER, DRIVING SOUTH ON I-5 WHILE IN THE FAR LEFT LANE AT 70 MPH, MY 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON LIMITED EXPERIENCED A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE, MANIFESTING WITH A TERRIBLE METAL CRASHING SOUND AND SHAKING. I HAD TO IMMEDIATELY CROSS TWO LANES OF HEAVY TRAFFIC, HAZARDS FLASH, TAKING THE EXIT THAT WAS FORTUNATELY RIGHT THERE ON THE IMMEDIATE RIGHT. I WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT 1 MILE AWAY. BY THE TIME I REACHED THE END OF THE RAMP AND PULLED INTO THE EMERGENCY PARKING, THE ENGINE WAS BARELY SPUTTERING, THE CAR BARELY ROLLING. NEXT DAY, UPON INSPECTION BY THE DEALER, THEY SAID METAL DEBRIS WAS FOUND IN THE ENGINE, SAME BEARING ISSUE AS THE OTHER ENGINE FAILURES THAT WERE RECALLED EARLIER (SANTA FE MODELS, SONATAS, ELANTRAS, AND OTHER TUCSONS). MY MODEL AND TRIM PACKAGE ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL YET. ONE MONTH PRIOR, THE DEALER HAD DONE A SAFETY INSPECTION AND $1,000 OF WORK REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT, HOSES, AND THERMOSTAT GASKET SO THAT I WOULDN'T LOSE THE ENGINE, AS I WAS TOLD BACK THEN. SINCE I STILL LOST THE ENGINE ONLY ONE MONTH LATER AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND BECAUSE MY MILEAGE WAS OVER WARRANTY AT APPROX134K, THE DEALERSHIP SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO HYUNDAI FOR GOODWILL AND RENTAL CAR ASSISTANCE ON MY BEHALF. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO PAY 75% AND PROVIDE RENTAL CAR ASSISTANCE IF PARTS WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. IT WAS 3 WEEKS TO ORDER PARTS AND COMPLETE REPAIRS. NO RENTAL CAR ASSISTANCE. I PICK UP THE CAR TODAY. MY PORTION OF THE COST IS MORE THAN $2200. IF THE 2013 TUCSON LIMITED IS ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST, WILL I BE ELIGIBLE FOR REIMBURSEMENT?

I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 IN BROWARD COUNTY AND I DECIDED TO PASS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE CAR MADE A VERY STRANGE SOUND AND STARTED TO LOOSE POWER... IT STARTED TO SLOWING DOWN BY IT SELF, SO I DECIDED TO GET OUT FROM I-75, LUCKILY WE WERE CLOSE TO ONE REST AREA WHERE WE COULD PARK AND CALL SOMEONE FOR HELP. BEFORE CALLING ANYONE, WE TRY EVERYTHING ON THE CAR. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW CHECKED THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS GOOD, THE ELECTRICAL WAS WORKING FINE FOR FEW MORE MINUTES AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN SLOWLY. EVERYBODY SAID THAT WAS VERY STRANGE...THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. IT IS WITH 70,000 MILES, IN AN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. I CALLED THE TOWING TRUCK FOR PICK UP AND PARKED IT ON MY COUSIN DRIVEWAY WHERE IS TILL TODAY. NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IT WILL BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX IT, AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY. I DIDN'T RECEIVED ANY RECALL FOR "ENGINE FAILURE" ON THIS SPECIFIC CAR, ALL THOUGH I FOUND ON THE INTERNET A LOT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON SAME YEAR AND MODEL.

WITHIN 2 YRS OF BUYING THE CAR I STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, LOSS OF POWER AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN.I WOULD STOP AND THEN PUSH THE GAS TO GO AND IT WAS FINE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTANTLY EVER SINCE I HAVE CONTINUED OVER THE YRS TELLING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NEVER REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THEY TRIED A FEW THINGS LIKE A COMPUTER UPDATE/REBOOT.THE ISSUE WAS A LITTLE LESS FREQUENT BUT IT STILL CONTINUED. OVER THE YEARS SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS WITNESSED THIS AND WERE VERY CONCERNED! RECENTLY 08/7/2020 WE WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 70 IN MD, CONSIDERABLE TRAFFIC, AND NUMEROUS TRACTOR TRAILORS ALL TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS!

STANDED FOR 40 MINUTES IN A DANGEROUS LOCATION! IT WAS TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER IN HAGERSTOWN MD. WHEN THEY TRIED TO TURN IT ON THERE WAS SMOKE AND THEY WERE QUICK TO PREVENT IT FROM CATCHING FIRE. WE WERE TOLD IT EXPLODED, A BEARING BROKE OFF HIT THE PISTON CREATING A HOLE IN THE ENGINE AND THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN OIL PAN. WE ARE THE ORIG OWNERS AND HAVE KEPT UP MAINTENANCE AT OUR DEALERSHIP, IT HAS 108K MILES ON IT, A COMPREHENSIVE EXT WARRENTEE BUT THEY WILL ONLY PUT IN A 77K MILES USED ENGINE.COULD HAVE THE SAME ISSUES AND MAY NOT BE SAFE.

SHOWED THE SALES MANAGER A VIDEO SO SHE COULD HEAR THE NOISE AND EVEN SHE SAID HERSELF THAT WAS NOT NORMAL. THEY DECIDED TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT.

ON AUGUST 3, 2019, I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE AND WAS FLUTTERING, NOT ACCELERATING LIKE NORMAL. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND WAS PULLING OVER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GIVE ME ONE REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED SINCE I REGULARLY GOT THE CAR SERVICED. APPROXIMATELY, TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SEIZING I HAD MY EMISSIONS AND INSPECTION PERFORMED AND THEY DID NOT PICK UP ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 94,000 MILES. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BROKEN CAR THAT THE REPAIR COSTS AS MUCH AS THE VEHICLE BLUE BOOKS FOR, WHILE STILL OWING AROUND $15,000. EVERYTHING THAT I HAD PURCHASED TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM THIS SITUATION HAS NOT PROTECTED ME AT ALL SUCH AS, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, GAP INSURANCE, THE BANK WILL NOT EVEN DO A VOLUNTARY REPOSSESSION ON THE VEHICLE.

VEHICLE STARTED UP WITH VERY NOTICEABLE KNOCKING NOISE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS STILL TECHNICALLY DRIVEABLE, BUT HAD VERY SLOW ACCELERATION. STOPPED BY AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE ENGINE CODE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TWO CODES THAT CAME UP WERE RELATED TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I STOPPED BY JIFFY LUBE TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE OIL. THE TECH SHOWED ME A SAMPLE OF THE OIL THAT CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE; IT LOOKED LIKE BLACK, SLUDGY COFFEE. I KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES, MAKING SURE TO GO TO JIFFY SO THAT MY RECORDS ARE ACCESSIBLE. I ALWAYS HAVE THEM USE SYNTHETIC WHEN I VISIT. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT THE OIL HAD BEEN OVERFILLED THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHANGED. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS NOTICED IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES THAT THE OIL ALWAYS TURNS BLACK, EVEN IF SYNTHETIC IS USED. HE SAID THAT HE HEARD THE KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE WHEN THEY MOVED THR VEHICLE, AND THAT IT COULD BE THE LIFTERS. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON, AND THE KNOCKING WAS STILL TAKING PLACE. I DROVE ACROSS THE STREET TO CHRISTIAN BROTHERS TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE SHOP HAD TO REMOVE THE FRONT PART OF THE ENGINE TO CHECK OUT THE ISSUE. AFTER A FEW DAYS, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS INSIDE OF THE OIL PAN. I BEGAN TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THERE WAS AN UNOFFICIAL RECALL ON THE THETA II ENGINE (WHICH IS WHAT THIS VEHICLE HAS). HYUNDAI WAS SLOWLY STARTING TO SEND NOTICES OUT TO PEOPLE. I TOOK MY TUCSON TO A DEALERSHIP AND ASKED THEM TO CONTACT HYUNDAI TO BEGIN A CLAIM FOR AN ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD THE CLAIM WAS DENIED BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THIS IS A 2013 MODEL, AND I PURCHASED IT IN SEP/OCT OF 2016. THE ENGINE IN A 6 Y/O VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE SHUTTING DOWN, ESPECIALLY IF MAINTENANCE WAS KEPT UP. NHTSA 19V063000

I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THEN CAME BACK REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE KNOCKING SOUND QUICKLY GREW LOUDER SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR THE KNOCKING SOUND WAS PERSISTENT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE THROWN A ROD. I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AT ONLY 106K MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM OTHER MECHANICS THEY SEE THIS QUITE FREQUENTLY IN THESE MODELS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE FOR OVER AN HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAT WAVE WITH NO AC.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEED, MY CAR LOST POWER. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART, IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY. AFTER GETTING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT MY 'MOTOR HAS FALLEN APART INSIDE'. THIS IS TO BE SUBMITTED TO HYUNDAI FOR REPAIR BUT MY CAR 'MAY NOT QUALIFY'. THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WHY IT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL IS BEYOND ME. I HAVE A DISABLED SON TO DRIVE AROUND AND THIS DEFECT HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE AN ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE SEAL BETWEEN THE OIL PAN & ENGINE BLOCK WHICH, IF LEFT UNREPAIRED & OPERATED OVER TIME, COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE. A DAMAGED ENGINE COULD LEAD TO A HIGH-SPEED STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IT COULD ALSO INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN APRIL 2019.

ADVISED I WASN'T PUTTING IN A WARRANTY CLAIM AND THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT. AS STATED ON THE TAPE YOU GET WHEN YOU CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE OIL PAN THAT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE INCLUDING CAUSING A HIGH SPEED STALL.

2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON BOUGHT 10/30/17 WITH 31,000 MILES ON IT. IN 06/0?/18 THE ENGINE THREW A ROD. MY SISTER WAS DRIVING ON THE WAY TO WORK WHEN THE CAR STARTED MAKING A LOT OF NOISE AND SHAKING RAPIDLY SHE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL THE POLICE. THE COP TOLD HER THE ENGINE THREW A ROD. ONLY 46,000 SOMETHING MILES ON IT. WE CHANGE THE OIL OURSELVES BECAUSE THAT WAS SIMPLE MAINTENANCE, AND WE DO THIS WITH ALL OUR VEHICLES. BUT FAILURE TO SHOW OUR OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS HAS VOIDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THE ENGINE THETTA II HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT ON ONLY CERTAIN TYPES OF HYUNDAI AND KIA MODELS. EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINES ARE THE SAME, AND THE COMPLAINTS ARE THE SAME, AND THE FAILURES ARE THE SAME, THE TUCSON NEEDS TO BE ADDED. WE TOWED THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IN LITHONIA GEORGIA AND THEY TOOK ONE LOOK AT THE OIL DIPSTICK AND SAID THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OIL. NOW WE HAVE THE VEHICLE SITTING IN OUR GARAGE AND WE DID FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND FOUND A BIG HOLE ON THE ENGINE BLOCK ITSELF, THAT EXPLAINS WHY HYUNDAI'S DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS WOULD REPORT NO OIL BECAUSE ALL THE OIL DRAINED OUT THROUGH THE GAPING HOLE IN THE ENGINE. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE US ANOTHER $7,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS ( HYUNDAI THETA II ENGINE FAILURE FACEBOOK GROUP) WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 MONTHS AND ONGOING FOR A REPLACEMENT ENGINE. THEY KEEP POSTPONING BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO ENGINES BECAUSE THE ENGINES HAVE MANUFACTURER DEFECTS CAUSING A BEARING TO PREMATURELY FAIL RESULTING IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE. NOW OUR 2013 TUCSON SITS IN OUR GARAGE WHILE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS $16,000! THEY RECENTLY ADDED 2011-2013 TUCSON TO THE RECALL. FOR SOME REASON OUR 2013 IS NOT.?!!

MARCH 20,2019 MY SUV SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, BUT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS, HORN, AND RADIO WAS STILL WORKING, AND I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. LUCKILY, I WASN'T IN REAL TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED, AND IT ARRIVED AT FENTON HYUNDAI OF MESQUITE, IN MESQUITE TX, AT APPROXIMATELY 6:54 A.M. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AROUND 9 A.M., AND NO ONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHAT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO "GIVE THEM A CALL BACK IN A FEW HOUR". AT APPROXIMATELY 3:56 PM, I CALLED AND SPOKE THE SUPERVISOR OVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT "I MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE AND YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES AND YOU HAVE 88,000 + MILES ON YOUR SUV". I INFORMED THE SUPERVISOR THAT I HAD GAP AND WAS COVER ROOF TO ROAD, BUMPER TO BUMPER, FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000, WHICHEVER COMES 1ST. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THAT WARRANTY WASN'T IN THEIR SYSTEM. ON MARCH 21, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 9:20 A.M., I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITH MY CONTRACTS AND ASKED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR AND ATTEMPTED TO SHOW HIM MY CONTRACT AND HE STATED "THIS ISN'T A GAP ISSUE. I STILL WAITING ON ANSWER FROM HYUNDAI, ON HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE IT". AT THAT POUINT, I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR, UNTIL MINE WAS FIXED AND READY FOR PICK UP, BUT WAS TOLD THAT ALL 23 LOANER CARS WERE IN USE. NO OTHER OPTION WAS OFFERED. FAST FORWARD, TO TODAY, MARCH 24,2019, STILL NO LOANER OR RENTAL, AND NO ANSWERS REGARDING MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD.

105,000 MILES AND THE ENGINE ON MY (JUST PAID OFF) HYUNDAI TUCSON GLS 2.4L THREW A MAIN ROD BEARING.THE ENGINE IS BLOWN AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MILES PER HOUR IN THE CENTER LANE TRAVELING FROM LAS VEGAS TO CALIFORNIA. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE THEN A LOUD TICKING SOUND WAS PRODUCED THEN THE TICK GREW INTO A VERY LOUD (ENGINE COMING APART FROM THE INSIDE SOUND) AT THAT MOMENT I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO MANEUVER THROUGH TRAFFIC AT SPEED. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. "FIX IT" I'VE NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE I HAPPEN TO BE MECHANIC. THIS SAME ENGINE IN TWO OTHER HYUNDAI'S FOR THE SAME YEAR HAVE BEEN RECALLED EXCEPT FOR THE TUCSON? WHY NOT? ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIRS IS IN THE RANGE OF 5,000.00 -6,500.00 I CAN BUY A USED HONDA ACCORD THAT WILL RUN FOREVER AT THAT PRICE.. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN HYUNDAI AT THIS POINT. THEY DO NOT TAKE PROPER CARE OF THEIR REPUTATION OR PRODUCTS LET ALONE THE CONSUMER.

THE ENGINE WAS MAKING AN INTERNAL KNOCKING NOISE. AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND TENSIONER. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE NOISE IS COMING FROM THE CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS. ACCORDING TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER, THE ENGINE MUST BE REPLACED. THE CAR ONLY HAS 78,500 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED USED IN MARCH 2017. THE CAR HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AS RECOMMENDED. THIS SEEMS TO BE COMMON PROBLEM WHERE METAL DEBRIS, LEFT OVER FROM THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS PLUGS UP INTERNAL LUBRICATION HOLES AND THE BEARINGS DO NOT RECEIVE PROPER LUBRICATION.

WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED, VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH. SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOST A BIT OF POWER, AND ALLOWED ONLY 65 MPH TO BE ATTAINED AND WOULD NOT RETURN TO 75 MPH. THIS CONTINUED FOR AROUND FIVE TO TEN MINUTES. THEN ONCE AGAIN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER FROM 65 MPH TO AROUND 55 MPH, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A "METALLIC CLANKING" SOUND. ONCE THIS HAPPENED, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO POWER DOWN, LOSING ALL REMAINING SPEED IN TRAFFIC, AND WAS GUIDED TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AWAITING A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE IT BACK TO OUR RESIDENCE. WE THEN HAD IT INSPECTED BY A LOCAL MECHANIC GARAGE WHO TOLD US THAT A MAIN ROD BEARING HAD BEEN THROWN, AND THAT WHEN THEY CONTACTED HYUNDAI, THEY HAD BEEN INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE THETA II ENGINES, YET NO RECALL HAD BEEN PUT FORTH FOR 2011 - 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSONS. WE ARE CURRENTLY HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AT A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AWAITING THEIR VERDICT AND INSPECTION NOTES TO BE SENT TO HYUNDAI TO BEGIN BUILDING A CASE, WITH CASE NUMBER.

ON 6/25/2018, MY HYUNDAI TUCSON FOR THE FIRST TIME BEGAN MAKING A STRANGE KNOCKING NOISE. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED HYUNDAI TO BRING IT IN. WHILE ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AT 12:30 PM, IT BROKE DOWN ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF LUNCH HOUR TRAFFIC ON ONE OF THE BUSIEST STREETS, WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. (THANKFULLY IT WASN'T A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE!) TWO DAYS LATER, I FOUND OUT THAT MY ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THEY FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL PAN, WHICH IS CONSISTENT WITH THE PRIOR RECALLS FOR SONATA AND SANTA FE ENGINE FAILURES, BUT THEY NEVER RECALLED THE TUCSONS. THANKFULLY, MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY (2013 - ONLY 48,000 MILES), BUT THE SITUATION WAS VERY SCARY. I AM SENDING THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN READING MORE AND MORE THAT OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE BEEN HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE, YET HYUNDAI HAS STILL NOT ISSUED A RECALL FOR OUR MODEL. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT HYUNDAI SINCE 6/25/2018 WAITING FOR THE NEW ENGINE TO ARRIVE, WHICH HAS NO ETA.

HELLO, I AM PART OF A GROUP ON FACEBOOK FOR THIS MATTER CONCERNING HYUANDAI TUCSON ENGINE FAILURE WHICH HAS OVER 200 PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCED THE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUE WITH THE THETHA II ENGINE IN THE HYUANDAI TUCSON.. MY 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON ENGINE FAILED JULY 4, 2018 WITH APPROXIMATELY 54 THOUSAND MILES. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A BIRTHDAY PARTY WITH MY DAUGHTER WHEN THE CAR JUST LOST POWER ON A BUSY ROAD WITH NO WARNING. IT JUST WOULD NOT DRIVE ANYMORE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL IT OVER TO THE SIDE SAFELY AND A NICE GENTLEMAN HELPED PUSH THE CAR FURTHER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD TO SIT IN OVER 90 DEGREES WITH MY DAUGHTER FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS WITH NO AIR CONDITIONING OR ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CAR SIMPLY WOULDN'T START BACK UP. HYUNDAI OF CENTEREACH IT'S THE DEALERSHIP I AM DEALING WITH. THEY SAID THERE WAS GOING TO BE A RECALL ON THIS ENGINE SOON SO THEY WOULD REPLACE IT AT THEIR EXPENSE. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING THIS TO HAPPEN WHICH IS NOT COMFORTING AT ALL SINCE THEY'RE PUTTING THE SAME MODEL ENGINE INTO MY CAR. I'VE BEEN WAITING OVER 3 MONTHS NOW AND THEY HAVE SAID THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE ENGINE WILL ARRIVE AND I HAVE BEEN PAYING CAR PAYMENTS AND ENSURANCE ON A DEAD CAR FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS. THEY ARE SUPPLYING ME A RENTAL HOWEVER I DON'T FEEL THIS IS ENOUGH COMPENSATION FOR THE HEADACHE I AM DEALING WITH. I AM A STRUGGLING SINGLE MOTHER WHO NOW HAS A CAR I WILL NEVER TRUST TO DRIVE MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AROUND IN. I'M NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT I AM LOSING HOPE. PLEASE ADVISE ON WHAT ACTIONS I CAN TAKE. I'VE ALREADY SPOKE TO HYUNDAI MOTOR FINANCE AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME OUT AT ALL WITH EVEN POSTPONING PAYMENT UNTIL I RECEIVE MY VEHICLE.

A WEEK BEFORE GOING ON VACATION, I JUST HAD AN INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE DONE. THE CAR PASSED INSPECTION WITHOUT ISSUE. I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED ON TIME SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2015. I NEVER HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR PRIOR TO THIS. I WAS REACHING THE END OF AN 8 HOUR DRIVE WITH THE CAR. WE JUST CROSSED THE PA STATE LINE. I WAS DRIVING IN THE PASSING LANE ON THE INTERSTATE, GETTING UP TO SPEED, AND I JUST HIT 60 MPH WHEN THE CAR MADE A RATTLING NOISE AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE PAST 60 MPH. WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE PROCEEDED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND CHECK THE OIL WHICH WAS FINE. THERE WAS NO SMOKE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WE ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR BUT THE ENGINE JUST KEPT TURNING OVER. WE WAITED AN HOUR FOR A TOW TRUCK AND DURING THE SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. WE HAD IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PROCEEDED TO TELL US THE CAR ENGINE WAS BLOWN AND IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO EXISTING REFURBISHED ENGINES IN THE COUNTY WE WERE IN OR WHERE WE LIVE.

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE DURING ACCELERATION AT AROUND 75,000 MILES. TOOK IT IN JUNE 11, 2018 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC, AND IT IS ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO MANUFACTURER DEFECT. HYUNDAI IS COVERING THE REPAIR, BUT STILL, AS OF SEPTEMBER 21, 2018 DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE AND HAS NO ETA. AT LEAST HUNDREDS OF OTHERS ON THE INTERNET ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL YEAR, AND SOME HAVE BEEN WAITING ON PARTS FOR 4 MONTHS OR LONGER. NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED.

Mileage: 75,000

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY (AT HIGHWAY SPEED), THE ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING, RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY LOSE ACCELERATION AND OPERATION. THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE WAS INSTANT; NO CRANK OR RESPONSE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A PROFESSIONAL AUTO GARAGE, AND THE DIAGNOSIS WAS PROMPT: COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO BACK DESIGN. THE OIL WAS GOOD, AND ALL THE COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE WERE IN GREAT SHAPE ACCORDING TO THE MECHANICS. THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS 72,000, AND I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE SINCE JUNE 2013. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED FROM THIS AUTO GARAGE TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER, WHERE THE SAME DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO INCLUDE THE HYUNDAI TUCSON MODELS FROM THIS SAME YEAR, SINCE THE KIA SPORTAGE, SORENTO, AND HYUNDAI SANTA FE ARE ALREADY PROMPTED AS 'RECALL ELIGIBLE' VEHICLES. THE SAME SYMPTOMS THAT PLAGUE THESE OTHER MODELS APPLY TO THE TUCSON AS WELL. THIS ALMOST COST ME MY LIFE, AND MY CONFIDENCE IN THIS AUTO MAKER IS COMPLETELY ABSENT AFTER THIS INCIDENT.

GOOD AFTERNOON, I'M SENDING THIS E-MAIL IN REFERENCE TO MY 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON. ON THURSDAY THE 23TH OF AUGUST , I WAS IN MY VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY COMING HOME FROM DINNER IN ATLANTIC CITY NEW JERSEY. WE WERE TRAVELING SOUTH ON THE NJ PARKWAY IN THE OUTSIDE LANE. AT APPROX.9:15 PM AT MILE MARKER 48, I HEARD A SMALL POP , MY VEHICLE STARTED SMOKING AND STOPPED RUNNING. THE MOMENTUM CARRIED ME OFF TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD TO GET TOWED HOME. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD AND HE SAW OIL LEAKING AND PIECES ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. HE ADVISED THAT I POPPED A ROD ON THE ENGINE. AFTER DOING SOME INQUIRES ON THE NET , I FOUND THAT HYUNDAI HAD RECALLS ON THEIR SONATAS FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS.... ALSO TUCSON OWNERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I CHECKED TO SEE WHAT KIND OF ENGINE I HAD. I DID SO BY VIN NUMBER. ON THE VIN NUMBER POSITION 8 IS THE CODE FOR ENGINE. I HAVE CODE C . THIS ENGINE WAS USED IN SONATAS . IS IT POSSIBLE THAT MY ENGINE WAS ONE OF THE RECALLED ONES. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 122,000. MAINTENANCE WAS DONE. THERE WAS NO WARNINGS '.ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME OR OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION IN THIS MATTER.....

MY ENGINE SUFFERED A COMPLETE FAILURE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70+ MPH. IN THE MIDDLE OF A 300 MILE ROAD TRIP, I NOTICED THE CAR WOULD HOLD SPEED WITH CRUISE CONTROL, BUT NOT ACCELERATE TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY. WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF NOTICING, THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP, AS I WAS ON A LONG STRETCH OF INTERSTATE WITH NO GAS STATIONS, ETC. SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVVED TO ABOUT 6000 RPM, THE CAR SHOOK, AND THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK AND HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED 40 MILES TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS BLOWN, MOST LIKELY TO A BEARING FAILURE. AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT OVER 70 MILES PER HOUR.

Mileage: 76,000

. ON JUNE 17, 2018 MY ENGINE BLEW ON MY 2013 TUCSON, LESS THAN 75000 MILES. WE WERE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 75 MILES PER HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE BEGAN TO KNOCK THEN LOOSE SPEED. TRAFFIC ALL AROUND US WAS TRAVELING AT 75-80 MILES PER HOUR, VERY SCARY AS WE WERE GOING 10-15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN WE MANAGED TO PULL OFF ON AN EXIT AND THE ENGINE SIMPLY DIED AND NEVER WOULD RESTART. WE HAD TO PUSH IT THROUGH A BUSY INTERSECTION TO A GAS STATION. WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER WHERE IT STILL SITS 2 MONTHS LATER WAITING ON AN ENGINE TO BE DELIVERED. THESE ENGINES HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN THE SONATA'S AND THE SANTA FE'S BUT NOT IN THE TUCSON'S.

Mileage: 72,000

AT HIGHWAY SPEED VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER THEN LOUD "CLUNK" AND LOST POWER. SMALL ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRE DEVELOPED BUT THEN THANKFULLY WENT OUT. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEAREST SHOP WHICH INFORMED US THAT VEHICLE HAD THROWN A ROD AND WILL REQUIRE ENGINE REPLACEMENT. VEHICLE HAS NOW BEEN TOWED TO NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER THAT "WILL GO TO BAT TO TRY AND GET HYUNDAI TO FIX". WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNERS OF VEHICLE SO APPARENTLY THE 10/100 DOES NOT APPLY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO OR WHO TO COMMUNICATE WITH TO GET HYUNDAI TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM.

Mileage: 77,000

THE HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS THE THETA 2 ENGINE. THIS ENGINE HAS ALREADY BEEN RECALLED 4 METAL SHAVINGS FROM THE A DEBURRING PROCESS CAUSES THE ENGINE TO HAVE OIL DISTRIBUTION PROBLEMS RESULTING IN ENGINE FAILURE FOR EXAMPLE A THROWN ROD. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO MY 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH ONLY 42000 PLUS MILES ON IT. SO WHY HASN'T THE TUCSON BEEN ADDED TO THE RECALL LIST ALONG WITH THE SONATA AND SANTA FE, THEY BOTH HAD THE SAME EXACT ENGINE IN THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. NOW I AM STUCK WITHOUT A VEHICLE STILL HAVING TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON, AND BATTLING HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP OF LITHONIA GEORGIA, BECAUSE THEY AREN'T WILLING TO FIX THE ISSUE DUE TO AN EXPIRED WARRANTY OF 5 YEARS OR 60,000 MILES. WARRANTY IS NOT AN ISSUE AT THIS POINT, BECAUSE THE ENGINE HAS BEEN RECALLED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE WARRANTY DUE TO NOT HAVING EVIDENCE OF OIL CHANGES. THE VEHICLE HAD NO OIL UPON INSPECTION. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE HAD A HOLE IN IT CAUSING THE OIL TO DRAIN OUT. *JS

ON JUNE 13, 2017, THE ENGINE IN THE TUCSON COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AFTER WORK. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN CANYON, TEXAS. THE REPAIR SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN A HOLE IN IT DUE TO NO FAULT OF SYDNEE PARKHURST AND WOULD NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. RESEARCH WAS DONE AS TO WHAT OPTIONS WERE AVAILABLE. [XXX] CONTACTED THE VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI IN ARLINGTON, TEXAS WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA FOR A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. RESEARCH HAD SHOWN THE SAME ENGINE WAS PUT INTO SEVERAL MODELS OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE MODEL WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION REGARDING THE 2011-2013 MODELS (BUT NOT THE 2013 TUCSON). THE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE ENGINE AND SOME PARTS THREE (3) TIMES DUE TO MANUFACTURER ISSUES WITH THE PARTS FOR $8,751.28. AFTER MORE THAN SEVEN PHONE CALLS TO EACH VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA, IT WAS LEARNED THAT NEITHER WAS WILLING TO HELP OR OFFER ANY AID OR ASSISTANCE CLAIMING THAT BECAUSE IT WAS SOLD TO A SECOND OWNER, THEY COULD NOT CONFIRM WHETHER THE PRIOR OWNER HAD BEEN NEGLIGENT IN THEIR CARE OF THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SOLD AS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED VEHICLE. HYUNDAI BLAMED THE OWNER FOR THE DEFECT. AFTER THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED VANDERGRIFF CONTACTED THE OWNER ATTEMPTING TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BACK FOR LESS THAN THE PURCHASE PRICE AND EXCLUDING THE COST OF THE ENGINE.

Mileage: 110,000

PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT TO TALK ON MY PHONE AND AFTER I PULLED AWAY THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL ON TIME EVERY TIME AND MOST OF ALL THE MILES ON IT ARE HIGHWAY MILES. I HAVE ISSUE THAT HYUNDAI RECALLED THE SONATA AND SANTA FE OF THE SAME YEAR AND ALSO KIA RECALLED THE SPORTAGE FOR ENGINE KNOCKING. THE ENGINE IS THE SAME EXACT ENGINE IN THE 2013 HYUNDAI TUSCON BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A RECALL. THIS MAKE ZERO SENSE.

Mileage: 170,900

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY, MY CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND FELT AS THOUGH I HAD A TIRE ISSUE. I SLOWED DOWN, AND THE VIBRATION ESCALATED SO I PULLED OVER. ONCE I WAS AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING LOUD KNOCKING NOISES. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AT THIS POINT AND THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY DID A CASE REVIEW. I WAS TOLD THAT SINCE THE CAR, WHICH IS 5 YRS OLD AND HAS 87,900 MILES, IT IS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY. I QUESTIONED THE RECALL ON OTHER CARS WITH THE THETA II ENGINE SUCH AS THE SANTA FE AND THE SONATA AND WAS INFORMED THAT MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH COMPLAINTS TO BE INCLUDED. APPARENTLY, ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME ENGINE, THE TUSCON ENGINE IS SLIGHTLY SMALLER SO DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL. THE SAME ISSUES APPLY WITH THE RECALLED ENGINE THAT MY ENGINE HAS WHICH IS METAL SHAVINGS AROUND THE CRANKSHAFT. THE METAL SHAVINGS HAVE CAUSED INSUFFICIENT MOVEMENT OF OIL THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE.

I AM WRITING IN RESPONSE TO THE RECENT ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY 2013 TUCSON. IT IS CURRENTLY SITTING (BECAUSE IT IS UNABLE TO START) AT A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD FROM HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE TO HAVE IT TOWED THERE DUE TO THE ENGINE TROUBLE I AM HAVING WITH THE CAR, AND DID SO ON MARCH 16, 2018. I DO NOT FEEL THAT THE COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE IS DUE TO ANY NEGLIGENCE ON MY PART. I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR INCLUDING OIL CHANGES. I CHOSE TO PURCHASE A HYUNDAI BECAUSE OF THEIR KNOWN RELIABILITY AND SAFETY. THESE ARE MOST IMPORTANT WHEN CHOOSING A VEHICLE TO OWN, AND I FELT HYNDAI WAS TOP IN BOTH THOSE CATEGORIES. I HAVE TWO YOUNG GIRLS TO KEEP SAFE. HOWEVER HYNDAI HAS PROVEN TO NOT BE. ONE MOMENT I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY TUSCON AND THEN THE NEXT MOMENT I AM UNABLE TO START IT AND AM LOOKING AT A COST TO FIX IT AT WELL OVER $5000.00.AUTO NATION HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR AS HAS STATED THAT THERE ARE COMPLICATIONS WITH THE CVVT GEAR AND THE TIMING CHAIN. HENCE THE REASON THE CAR NO LONGER CAN START AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. I FEEL THAT THE ENGINE PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AND PAID FOR BY HYUNDAI DUE TO MANUFACTURER'S ERROR. I HAVE TRIED TO FACILITATE THESE ISSUES BY SPEAKING DIRECTLY WITH HYUNDAI CUSTOMER SERVICE. EVERY TIME I HAVE CALLED, I HAVE SPOKEN TO A DIFFERENT CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AND GIVEN A DIFFERENT CASE NUMBER. DESPITE EXPLAINING TO A NEW PERSON THE DETAILS OF THE PROCESS I AM GOING THROUGH, EACH REPRESENTATIVES HAS HAD A DIFFERENT EXCUSE AS TO WHAT WILL HAPPEN IN REPAIRING MY CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO CONSISTENCY ON YOUR END. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN LOYAL CUSTOMERS OF HYUNDAI FOR YEARS. IN RETURN, I WOULD EXPECT HYUNDAI TO BE AVAILABLE FOR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.

WHILE DRIVING AT AROUND 40-50 MPH, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH SUDDENLY CAME ON AND THEN THE ENGINE OF THE CAR JUST STOPPED. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS HURT AND THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE ENGINE HAS SEIZED. WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC WAITING FOR A TOW, WE CHECKED THE OIL IN THE ENGINE AND THERE WAS PLENTY. WE DID REGULAR OIL CHANGES ON THIS CAR. WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER AND THE CAR HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT, SO IT IS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY DRIVING AROUND 65-70 MPH, THE CAR'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL LEVEL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT ALL CAME ON AND THE CAR POWERED DOWN AND LOST ALL SPEED WITHIN A .5 MILE DISTANCE. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED, THE CAR NOW NEEDS A NEW ENGINE ENTIRELY DUE TO FAULTY BEARINGS THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO SEIZE WHILE DRIVING.

ON SEPT. 9TH 2017 WE WERE EVACUATING FROM HURRICANE IRMA. WE HEADED NORTH FROM GA. ON I-77 IN N.C ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR SLOWED DOWN. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN TURNING IT BACK ON A LOUD HORRIBLE NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT. WE WERE ABLE TO SLOWLY GET OFF THE EXIT. WE FOUND A MECHANIC SHOP AND TOOK IT THERE TO SEE IF THEY COULD TELL US WHAT IT WAS. THE CAR NEVER GAVE US ANY WARNINGS OR LIGHTS CAME ON PRIOR TO THIS. WHEN WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2016, WE HAD TAKEN IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER WE BOUGHT IT FROM DUE TO A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. WE TOOK IT ABOUT 3 TIMES AND TO NO AVAIL THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING. WE PURCHASED THE CAR WITH ALMOST 35,000 MILES AND IT WAS AT 78,000 MILES WHEN IT LEFT US STRANDED IN NC. ON MONDAY 9/11/17 THE MECHANIC CALLED US AND TOLD US HE FOUND OIL AND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE PAN AND THAT THE ENGINE HAD FAILED. WE'VE ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR 1 1/2 YRS. NOW NOT ONLY WE WERE OUT OF POCKET FOR 4 NIGHTS AT A HOTEL, WE HAD TO RENT A UHAUL TO TRANSPORT THE CAR BACK TO GA. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH HYUNDAI ON 9/16/17. THEY GOT BACK TO ME ON 9/28 AND 9/29. I WAS TOLD THE SAVANNAH HYUNDAI DEALER WANTS US TO TOW THE CAR TO THEIR SERVICE DEPT. AT OUR EXPENSE PLUS WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THEM $400 SO THEY CAN DO A FULL INSPECTION ON OUR CAR. THE SAME CAR I WAS BRINGING TO THEM WITH ISSUES BEFORE WE WERE OUT OF WARRANTY. I AM AWARE OF A LOT OF ISSUES WITH THESE ENGINES AND THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED AND REPLACED.

I RELIGIOUSLY MAINTAINED MAINTENANCE ON MY SUV, BUT OUT THE BLUE, LAST WEEKEND 7/29-30 I WAS AT A LIGHT AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEARED AND SOMETHING BROKE IN THE ENGINE AREA, I HEARD A SNAP, IT SOUNDED LIKE A BELT. WELL, I FLAT BED TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND TO MY AMAZEMENT, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE? THE COST WOULD BE AROUND $8,000.00. I RELIGIOUSLY HAD EVERY WARRANTY SERVICE DONE AND THEY CAME BACK WITH MY CRANK SHANK PINS AND PISTONS WERE WORN OUT AND ROD KNOCKING WAS TAKEN PLACE, PLUS NO MORE ROD BEARINGS. I ASKED WHAT COULD OF CAUSED THIS AND HE STATED, "LACK OF OIL?". I NEVER MISSED AN OIL CHANGE ON THE SUV, SO HOW COULD THIS BE?? ALSO, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE OIL PAIN AND CYLINDER 2 AND 3 GONE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SANTA FE SUV 2011-2013, KIA 2011-2014 WHEREBY THE SAME THING CRANKPINS, METAL SHAVINGS FOUND, THE EXACT WORDING FROM THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT (FOUND ONLINE) IS "DURING MACHINING OF THE ENTIRE ENGINE, CRANKSHAFT AND CRANKPINS, METAL SHAVINGS MAY HAVE BEEN LEFT WITHIN THE CRANKSHAFT OIL PASSAGES, OIL MAY BE BLOCKED AND CAUSE THE CONNECTING RODS TO WEAR, WHICH WOULD THEN CAUSE HEM TO FAIL AND SEIZE THE ENGINE. NOW, THEY DIDN'T LIST MY VEHICLE, BUT IT'S THE EXACT AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME ENGINE! ALSO, THIS OCCURRED AT EXACTLY 100,000 MILES WHEN THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW, THE SERVICE ADVISORS ARE BEING HORRID AND HEATED EXCHANGES ARE GOING ON WITH THE CAR DEALERSHIP TEAM ON MY CAR REPAIR. IT'S STILL SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I'M IN AN EXPENSIVE RENTAL. I HAD JUST MADE MY LAST PAYMENT....
