Hello, my 2019 Hyundai Tuscan I have owned for 3 years-4 years. Unfortunately it is a GDI Motor, it uses oil so bad, even though I do change the oil every 3,000 miles, and do every maintenance on the vehicle that is told to me done, ever time I change the oil it is low, even though I top it off through out the 3,000 miles. I have no leaks at all and it is just evaporating, I do not think this is right for a 2019… there is several issues and concerns from other buyers with this issue. There should be a fix to this, asap

Dec 23, 2025

My 2019 Hyundai Tucson previously required an engine replacement due to a known defect. After the engine replacement, the check engine light remained on. Recently, the check engine light began flashing, and the vehicle was towed to the dealership. I was informed the vehicle has a radiator/cooling system failure. Given the history of engine defects and warning lights, I am concerned about vehicle safety and reliability.

Dec 21, 2025

I am submitting this complaint regarding excessive and abnormal oil consumption in my 2019 Hyundai Tucson. Despite regular maintenance and oil changes performed according to manufacturer recommendations, my vehicle consumes oil at an excessive rate, requiring frequent oil top-offs between oil change intervals. I have experienced low oil levels with little to no warning, which poses a serious safety concern due to the risk of engine failure while driving. The vehicle does not show visible oil leaks, suggesting internal oil consumption. This issue appears to be consistent with numerous consumer complaints involving Hyundai vehicles of similar model years and engines. The dealerships have been unhelpful and dismissive, often stating that the oil consumption is “within normal limits” or requiring lengthy oil consumption tests without offering a permanent solution. I feel I am being given the runaround rather than receiving a meaningful repair or accountability for what appears to be a known defect. Excessive oil consumption can lead to engine damage, stalling, or sudden engine failure, which is a significant safety hazard for myself, passengers, and other drivers. Hyundai dealerships have failed to adequately address or correct the issue, despite the widespread nature of similar complaints and known engine issues associated with Hyundai vehicles. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter further, as this defect affects vehicle safety and reliability and appears to be part of a broader pattern with Hyundai engines.

Oil component failure causing extreme heating within the engine and catalytic converter which poses risk for engine fire. This oil consumption issue was addressed by the dealership who ran a test to see how much oil was consumed. The test results showed that the vehicle was burning oil at a high rate and would ultimately result in engine failure. The low-oil light has never come on indicating a need for an oil change. Despite this, I have constantly pulled my own dip stick and got changes every 2,000 miles. For this make and model, they required a change every 5,000 miles. When I notified Hyundai Corporate over this concern. They claimed due to it being outside of warranty, that it does not matter what my engine light has been doing since I got the car, nor the issue with the oil consumption, they refuse to address any of these problems as being a manufacturing problem. The maintenence has been kept up since I got the car, so the manufacturer is not acknowledging the constant issue with Hyundai Tuscon engine dangers. If a fire were to occurr, I was told this is not Hyundai's responsibility due to me not being the first owner and it not falling within warranty. After the combustion test, Hyundai claimed that they refilled my oil. When I checked my dip stick after only driving 100 miles, the image attached will show the resulting levels. My oil light is still not coming on despite this. Even when it has been much lower than the pictured level. This, paired with the super heated catalytic converter due to the oil consumption, is going to cause an engine fire and is not fair to the consumer.

My 2019 Hyundai Tucson, VIN [XXX] , has developed engine knocking, which may indicate internal engine failure. A mechanic has suggested a possible loss of cylinder compression, though the exact cause has not been confirmed. Hyundai vehicles from similar model years have experienced engine failures related to bearing wear and metal debris, leading to stalling, loss of power, and complete engine failure. These failures present a serious safety risk, particularly if the engine fails while driving. I am concerned that this defect could result in sudden loss of power or engine seizure, increasing the risk of an accident. I am submitting this complaint to ensure the issue is properly investigated and addressed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The engine has begun making a persistent knocking sound, especially during acceleration. A mechanic inspected it and indicated it may be related to cylinder compression issues or internal engine damage, but the exact cause is not yet confirmed. Because this matches symptoms associated with the known connecting rod bearing defect affecting the 2.0L Nu GDI engines, I am requesting a full warranty inspection under the Engine II Settlement and Hyundai’s extended engine warranty program.

I own a 2019 Hyundai Tucson, Since purchase, I noticed a strange engine noise. The dealership [Dealership Name] told me it was not a problem, but the vehicle has consistently consumed about 1 liter of oil per week. Despite multiple service visits, Hyundai has not recognized this as a factory defect and requested $3,500 for testing. I am concerned that the excessive oil consumption could lead to engine overheating, which may increase the risk of an accident.

Fitzgerald Countryside Hyundai - address is 27419 US Hwy 19 N, Clearwater, FL 33761 refuses to fix a recall on my unsafe car. Check engine light flashing due to code P1326 which is an issue detected by KSDS that monitors unusual engine vibrations and is designed to prevent engine damage

On October 11, 2025, I discovered that my 2019 Tucson had no engine oil. I put three quarts of oil in at that time. Fast forward two weeks, October 25, 2025, and the dipstick read dry again, prompting more oil to be required. Unfortunately, I'm passed the 30 day warranty with the dealership I purchased the vehicle from so now this burden has fallen on my shoulders.

[XXX] [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Vehicle Information: • VIN: [XXX] • Year: 2019 • Make: Hyundai • Model: Tucson • Mileage: 132,303 Problem Description: On Oct 11, 2025, my 2019 Hyundai Tucson entered limp mode on the freeway, losing power suddenly, posing a safety risk. This followed a dealership visit a couple months ago for a recall engine repair (possibly 21V-727). They returned the car with a check engine light, claiming it was a false error needing a reset on my next visit. No reset was done. On Oct 11, the limp mode forced a tow back to the dealership. They now demand $300 for diagnostics and refuse a loaner, claiming it may not be warranty-related. I’ve escalated to Hyundai national team case number : 41621677 with no resolution after four days. This feels like a safety defect tied to the prior recall work. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Oct 8, 2025

The vehicle is experiencing excessive oil consumption and increasingly severe engine performance symptoms. The oil level drops rapidly between changes, but the loss is not due to external leaks. The engine burns oil internally, causing residue buildup and damage to other components — specifically the intake manifold and catalytic converter, which the dealer has now recommended replacing. These issues align with the symptoms addressed in Hyundai Campaign 966 (Engine Monitoring / Knock Sensor Detection System), which is intended to detect early bearing wear and related oil consumption defects. However, the dealership refused to perform the required campaign diagnostics (bearing inspection, KSDS verification, and oil-consumption test) without charging a diagnostic fee. Even though the engine has not yet fully failed or entered limp mode, the excessive oil consumption is already causing secondary damage to emissions and intake components. If left unresolved, this can escalate to engine seizure, catalytic converter overheating, or exhaust-related fires due to unburned oil entering the converter. These are clear safety hazards that can result in loss of power, smoke, or fire while driving. Multiple Hyundai owners have reported identical problems — excessive oil loss, residue damage to emission systems, and dealer refusals to perform Campaign 966 inspections. These patterns indicate a systemic engine defect that leads to downstream component failures, not isolated wear. Replacing the manifold or converter does not correct the root cause, as oil consumption continues after replacement and will likely damage new parts. The dealer’s refusal to perform the manufacturer’s required diagnostics and their attempt to charge for unrelated repairs prevent proper defect identification. This is a serious and ongoing safety issue affecting Hyundai Tucson and other models with the same engine family.

Hyunda dealerships are not replacing engine that have been recalled because Hyunda Corporation is refusing to allow the replacements. They are nit picking at reasons to not replace. I believe it because of the number of replacements needed is overwhelming tothe corporate offices and they are picking and choosing on which car get replaced. We have spent thousands of dollars on rentals waiting over months for decisions and there are no loaners available for the customers. I have written numerous letters to corporate has not responded back. The dealership have threaten to get your vehicles removed from there lots if you have been turned down. They have stranded hundreds of customers with vehicles that done run. We need more assistance in rectifying the situation. To know fault of our own we have been punished.

Due to known oil consumption my car stalled due to no oil left in the engine even though there were 2,000 miles left until my oil change. I have since started to go to my local Hyundai dealership to test for oil consumption and have been tested 3 times and Hyundai is saying that there is oil consumption but it is under the threshold they consider actionable. This is very problematic and can cause many issues for myself and others.

Oil consumption

Sep 3, 2025

My car has had an oil consumption problem for over a year that Hyundai refuses to acknowledge. I passed the oil consumption test because the oil burns rapidly when I have about 1,000 miles left before my next oil change. They have replaced my exhaust, catalytic converter, spark plugs, and oil release valve over the course of many visits. Every time I have the oil problem, they find something different to “fix” and I have to pay out of pocket. None of these have fixed the actual problem. The hyundai representative I have been in contact with (after they reassigned my case to someone 3 different times - so it’s never the same person that is familiar with my case), told me there is nothing they can do to help me because the dealerships are independently owned. I am now out of warranty, although I originally brought my car there while it was still covered under warranty.

Car has had shaking during acceleration and a noise (rattle/knock/tapping) from the engine for last 18 months. Dealer “could not find any issues” until July 31st 2025 when the engine broke down with a P1326 code (connecting rod bearing failure) and the engine seized. Vehicle is under class action class with extended 150k 15 year warranty on engine for this concern. Had recall performed for the knock sensor detection system as required by class action. Dealership first asked for most recent oil change record (provided) and than informed that Hyundai declined repairs due to full maintenance records not being submitted. Have now submitted full maintenance records to dealer and Hyundai directly since I purchased in 2023 as certified pre owned. All maintenance performed as per factory recommendations In manual. Hyundai still declining repairs without any explanation.

My engine has an oil consumption problem that I've been dealing with Hyundai on. The vehicle is a 2019 Hyundai tucson. Last Friday [XXX] my car lost power on the freeway on a bridge and I began to slow down and couldn't pull over due to no shoulder. I had myself and my family in the car with me, (wife, [XXX] , [XXX] ) My car has failed two oil consumption tests and had a combustion chamber cleaning to try to resolve this issue. Now after losing power, the dealer has gone back on their word of engine replacement because Hyundai denied the claim. They are telling me the oil consumption lead to the catalytic converter getting plugged and losing power. The engine light for that has been on throughout all of the oil consumption testing (months) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

This vehicle was purchased by me in November of 2024. It was a one owner used car. At the time of purchase, the vehicle was inspected by the dealer and the oil was changed. It had only been driven 3000 miles when the check engine light began flashing. I took it in to a dealership and learned that it was burning oil at an excessive rate causing engine wear and damage. I have since learned that the engine will need to be replaced. I also learned that this is a very common and known problem with Hyundai engines.

Aug 14, 2025

The vehicle was brought in just after a month of owning it due to it was accelerating slow and driving bad salesmans sent it to Hyundai dealership for diagnosis and it came back that the motor needed to be replaced due to recall vehicle was in repair shop for over 3 months to get a new motor once returned the very next day the check engine light came back on so I brung it back to the Hyundai dealership per Hub City's salesmans instruction to have vehicle diagnosis again. Hyundai advised that the vehicle needed a catalyst converter among other codes detected on vehicle.

Vehicle is consuming oil at a rate of 2 quarts per 1000 miles which could lead to catastrophic engine failure at highway speed causing serious crash and loss of life. This is apparently a common defect with many Hyundia engines that the manufacturer is actively trying to deny warranty claims.

On a busy highway, my car broke down. It was due to the rod bearings, specifically, the Hyundai Theta "extended warranty"/recall issue, or "recall" issue. There is currently a class action lawsuit against Hyundai. I had the car towed to Hallmark Hyundai in Nashville, TN. I, however, live in Louisville, KY and I was making a road trip to Nashville, TN. I was told by the Service Rep in Nashville that they couldn't provide me with a loaner vehicle because I would be driving it, back home, out of state to Louisville, KY. I paid for a rental car out-of-pocket. Hyundai Corporate told me it would take 60 days to get reimbursed. I picked up the car at the beginning of July, 2025, after the engine was replaced by Hallmark Hyundai. I was told by Hallmark Hyundai that a service employee performed a test drive but it was immediately noticeable to me that there were still issues. I noticed the gears shifting abnormally and problems with acceleration once I first started driving it, post repairs, but assumed I would be told to give it time. Today, [XXX], the car began to have difficulty accelerating once again, and the engine light illuminated. I couldn't accelerate beyond 45 mph. I phoned Hyundai Corporate Customer Care, relayed the issues, and said I needed a rental car the following morning for a job pre-hire meeting and couldn't pay for one since my credit card was already maxed out due to the first out-of-pocket rental. They refused. They told me to work it out with my local Hyundai dealership. The problem with all of this is that the consumer still incurs many hardships even though the car manufacturer is at fault and the dealerships don't always follow the settlement requirements of providing alternate transportation, a loaner or rental. The manufacturer and dealers are not held accountable and settlements that purport consumer recourse are more geared towards the manufacturer staying in business than the consumer being compensated fairly.

Engine has been burning through oil. Started the Engine oil consumption test at one dealership. That dealership has now closed leaving me to go to another dealership. They want me to start the process over again. I have had two oil changes, failed the second test and was scheduled to bring my car back for the next step in the diagnostic process. Not only do they want me to pay out of pocket again for an oil change but my car is driving worse. It didn't start the other day and it drives horribly. The safety concern I have is that the engine will seize while driving, causing an accident.

The engine seized will on the highway unexpectedly. While driving on the highway the car suddenly started to slow down and would not pick up speed. I was able to get off on the first exit and make it a close to the right hand land as possible before the car stalled. I was stuck on the feeder road and at risk of being hit from behind. I cranked the car and was unable to move. While calling a tow truck and waiting for it to arrive later I tried to crank the car again and was able to drive it to the nearest safe place.

While driving, my vehicle stopped moving forward and the engine light came on. I pulled over and called for a tow. The service department at the dealership the vehicle was towed to said that the vehicle had less than a quart of oil in it. I just had the vehicle serviced 2 months prior. The service department changed the oil, oil filter and air filter. They drove the car and heard knocking. They found the rod bearing to be bad. They said it needed a new engine. The vehicle has approximately 51,000 miles. I never had any issues prior to that day. The car manufacture is refusing to replace the engine because I am not the original owner, not because the engine isn't defective. This is a 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with engine 2.0L L4 DOHC 16V. I believe there is a known problem with this engine, but the manufacturer doesn't want to admit to anything, nor do they want to resolve the issue. My vehicle could have caught fire. I could have been in an accident. I just want the car company to replace the engine without any cost to me. I would even pay for the labor, but they need to pay for the engine and any parts or tests that come with replacing an engine.

My catalytic converter failed at roughly 70k miles (confirmed by mechanic and replaced). I have now been having transmission issues ever since, starting with the rpms jumping up on their own when trying to downshift (reproduced by mechanic) and ending with the car fully going into limp mode while in the middle of driving on the highway at speed. The former never triggered a light or produced codes, and with the latter the CEL flashed three times at the very start of the breakdown, and then went off and never came back on, despite the obvious problems the car was having.

While driving the car felt like it was going to shutoff multiple times. It had been experiencing an unusually high consumption of oil since it's last oil change. It would also tend to surge and excelarate unexpectedly while driving. The check engine light came on only once and then shut off. The car is currently at the Hyundai dealer. The service person says we need a new engine. These incidents happend while I and my wife were driving in separate incidents at different days and times. I was with my family and had to apply the brakes lest we run into cars in front of me when it surged unexpectedly.

Engine failure will be caused by shrapnel in the engine (Dealer told me Hyundai is aware it was not vacuumed out properly in this particular batch of engines) leading to ruts being warn in the cylinder causing oil to leak past piston rings. Loses so much oil quickly. Extended warranty may deny due to 3 missed air filter changes

I took my vehicle to my mechanic for inspection check up. My mechanic told me and supplied paperwork from their scans that the P0420 sensor in the cat converter was shot again (3x in 5 years) and needed to be replaced. The engine light had come on 3 weeks beforehand and I had it read and knew what it was. They sent me to Hyundai dealer as it was under warranty with documentation. I get to Hyundai dealer tell them it needs the sensor for inspection and an investigation for oil leaking from back of the engine. I also told them I was adding 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes. They told me my mechanic over filled oil by .5 quarts and that's why the engine leaked. They investigated after I disputed by saying an oil change had been performed the day I brought it to them and found a bad head gasket, fuel pump seal, and oil pan seal. They charged my extended warranty for those repairs, shut off engine light for cat converter sensor without replacing it, and made me do an oil consumption test of 1000 miles. Car was still not inspected at this point. After 35 miles check engine light comes back on. Cat converter sensor P0420. I take it back in. They tell me they won't replace it until the oil consumption test is done because they need to know if oil is coming through the exhaust pipes (it was). I complete the test and go in. They tell me engine is burning .5 quarts of oil/1000 miles which is acceptable and as long as I complete oil changes every 5000 miles I will be fine. They then tell me if I want sensor replaced I'm 800 miles over warranty so I have to pay $2400 to replace. Called corporate they're only willing to cover half the repair as "good will" for the cat converter and was quoted $1300 by the dealer in question. Almost a month and still not fixed and still can't get car inspected because the check engine light is tripped by the P0420 sensor in the cat converter. It's the only vehicle my family has. I'm forced to pay to have transportation.

I had previous issues with the vehicle and was told it was the 1 & 2 ignition coils that were replaced. I assumed it was the same issue for the 3 & 4 ignition coils. They were also replaced but the issue was not resolved and the vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop who stated there was a piece missing off one of the pistons and he couldn't determine how that could have occurred. At this point, he said my engine would need to be replaced and apparently they are back-ordered for 6 months. My daughters vehicle - 2019 Kona, was purchased at the same time and she also lost power in her engine while driving on the freeway. Fortunately she pulled off onto the should in a very dangerous situation. Her engine had a hole and later found out the 2019 Kona had an engine recall. I have heard there are issues with the 2019 Tucson, but no recall has been issued.

Knock sensor keeps throwing codes, the car will not accelerate over 20mph and under 2000 rpms

Oct 10, 2024

My car lost power and was shaking while driving, the dealership service department told me that that my car was producing a code for a misfire in my exhaust valve chamber #3 and I could replace this for $4400 but in a few months I would need a new engine so they recommended I replace the engine for $8000. I am 1000 miles over my warranty so Hyundai is refusing to pay for this. I currently finance my car and owe $22000 on it still and can not afford to fix my car out of pocket. My car has been at the service department since 9/6/2024, I’ve researched this problem with this make and model and thousands of Hyundai owners are being denied for new engines because the engine failure was not caused by the rod bearings, ultimately both of these concerns and problems are cause from oil consumption and these vehicles burning oil. After multiple exhausting attempts to clear this up with Hyundai USA corporate and my local dealership. I’m am now working on other options. Driving down a 70mph highway losing acceleration is dangerously unacceptable

Engine stalled while on the road with no warning lights. Seized and doesn’t start. Hyundai said that that it was engine neglect because of sludge yet we consistently got the oil change.

Sep 26, 2024

I have had to replace the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter twice since owning my car. I have owned my car since 2020 and bought it at 23,000 miles. The car now has 100,000 miles - all highway. The code P0240 has displayed again and the dealership said I need to replace the catalytic converter and manifold for a third time. The car burns synthetic oil very quickly as well. Dealership has found no leaks of oil. I have to change oil every month because of how quickly the oil burns. I have conducted my own research and have found several other owners of 2019 Hyundai Tucson are having similar issues. I encourage Hyundai and its partners to initiate an investigation. This could cause detrimental damage to the engine. Something is wrong!

Sep 25, 2024

- replaced catalytic convertor twice - Check engine light on , needs another catalytic convertor - Exhaust fumes are coming back into my car through the AC vents , I’ve had to pull over due to being nauseas and extremely dizzy. - The dealership will not answer my phone calls , but will answer another phone because I have called from another phone and they picked up immediately - Was told from a service advisor that they would not help me “ unless the car blew up “ - My car did recently ,8/8/24, shake aggressively, the check engine light flicked rapidly and a strong puff of fumes came through my car - They will not help me because they stated that my rod bearings are not rotted therefore I do not qualify for assistance and everything would come out of pocket , the engine replacement , the catalytic convertor due to me being a few thousand miles outside of my 100,000 warranty. - I have the invoice stating oil is leaking profusely out of my engine - I was told within the last 2 weeks that if my car was to actually seize , Hyundai is not responsible bc when they kept telling me to bring my car in , they kept diagnosing it so they quoted me at about $5k to fix everything.

formance exhaust. I bought catalytic conVerter that they told me to buy for 600+ dollars and took it to child's shop they told me that the catalytic converter isnt clogged nor is it affecting my car and provided me with these codes about the camshaft and crankshaft (P0017,P000B, P000A) which they stated hyundai should have fixed under the engine warranty because it was a recall on these engines on this year car. They stated that even if fixed the converter my car would still perform the same and 3 other mechanics have said the same and stated hyundai would have to fix it. After oil changes the oil consumption in my car is constantly getting oil before its even due for another oil change. I have already paid so much just by having people look at it, buying oil, parts, and etc. i am furious to know that i was sold a car that was recalled with engine problems and been having problems since i got it. I have 2 kids i have to get to and from school and this my only transportation. My car has been misfiring and not going over 40 miles. This is my only vehicle and hyundai has put me in a messed up situation. The recalled was may 2022 and hyundai sold me this car june 9 2022. I contacted the june 15, 2022 about the engine light they kept turning off. Car is stalling, making noise, not holding oil. Have to top oil weeks after getting oil changed

Aug 19, 2024

The check engine light came on and then started flashing. It was 3 quarts low on oil and there were still 1,000 miles left before the next oil change. The oil has been changed regularly since we purchased the Tucson in December 2023. A mechanic looked at the vehicle today and said metal shavings were in the oil and the engine needed replacing. The 2019 Hyundai Tucson got good reviews and was considered a safe vehicle for teen drivers, but now I'm wishing we purchased something else for our kids to drive.

’ve replaced the catalytic converter two times , the check engine light is on so it says I need another catalytic converter, that was in June 2024. The car was at the shop yesterday, needs catalytic converter and oil is pooling all throughout the car , fumes from the exhaust are coming back into the car which makes me physically ill. The engine revs and slows down by itself, it goes through oil on such a regular basis that I have to carry a full size jug of oil with me at all times because I need to put it in before I leave work and when I am on my way back home , the dipstick will be dry.

The drain plug was loose, even thought the mechanics ensured it was tightened. This is another case out of many of 2019 Hyundai Tucson owners who have found the drain plug to be faulty causing loosening and then falling out causing all oil to drain quickly and without warning. My engine unfortunately died mid drive while at the base of a large bridge, causing safety risks to myself and my passenger, as well as other drivers on the road. The engine lost so much oil at once giving no chance to even be warned about malfunction, as we were driving and it just fell out. My engine seized completely. This is not the first time Hyundai parts have done this, according to other owners, mechanics and other forums. Hyundai still has no recall for this faulty parts and offers no assistance to remedy a potentially life threatening situation.

Jul 30, 2024 Crash

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the vehicle slowed down. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the knock sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred.

The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The engine was replaced. Additionally, while driving, an unknown vehicle crashed into the rear of the vehicle, and it continued to move forward. The steering wheel became stuck and was uncontrollable. The driver shifted the gears to park and neutral. The vehicle was idling high and low. The driver depressed the push-to-start button, but the vehicle continued to move and drove onto the lawn over a flower bed and fence, went across a two-way highway, slowed down, and stopped. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. A police report was filed. There were no reported injuries, fire, or air bag deployment. The manufacturer was contacted to obtain the EDR box, and they sent an engineer who reported that the air bags were not supposed to deploy and was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 1,000.

The car barely has 50,000 miles on it and I had to replace all the tires rotors and brakes. Then a week later we were driving and it started making a funny noise and it would not drive more then 30 mph. I am going to have it towed to the dealership and see what the problem is. I have been reading about a lot of people with this same problem for faulty engine. I will sue them if this is the case this happened another time to me and I sued them under the lemon law

My car is burning oil like crazy, having to top off engine with 1.5 quarts between 5,000 mile oil change with synthetic oil. Took to Hyundai for oil consumption test. Let them know I'm having issues with burning oil, and my check engine light comes on often. They looked at my car saw enough of a problem according to advisor to skip first step of oil consumption test and jump straight to step 2 an engine combustion cleaning, which cause multiple more codes to come on. Drove the 1,000 mile 1378 to be exact because I explained to them that I couldn't bring back at exact mileage and was told that was fine. I was toldy car was only a quart low and that that meant everything was fine and that they would now honor the warranty. I am using in ungodly amount of gas and my engine oil smells like straight gasoline. I explained this to the manager and he said he resubmitted to try to retest again and was denied. I do not know what to do at this point. The advisor even said he didn't agree with their decision but it was up to them. His hands were tied. I am a single mother still paying on the car and only bought new because of the warranty. I provided immaculate proof of oil changes and maintenance. Please help 😢.

Jun 13, 2024 Fire

I was driving approx 55mph on [XXX] in my 2019 hyundai tucson when the check engine light came on and the engine started to stall. I felt the acceleration dying down in the middle of busy highway traffic. Gray smoke started coming from the hood cracks. I luckily was in the right lane already, so when I could I veered off to the shoulder and the car quit. The smoke was increasing badly. Ppl from the highway were yelling its going to blow up get away from it! I was so scared. I grabbed my phone and keys and ran as far as I could while dialing 911. Within a couple minutes flames were swallowing the entire engine and front of the car. I am furious. I researched online and hyundai has had many similar incidents with this car and other with this engine ! These need to be banned and taken off the road before they kill anyone else. Ppl have been injured and killed from similar situations just like mine. I thank God I made it out of this horrific situation alive. But now I have no car and am at risk of losing my job and then housing . I thought I would have this car for years. Now I'm traumatized and without transportation.

Engine failure Needed to be replaced just over 52,000 miles

Engine failure. Car suddenly stop and engine light lit on.

May 30, 2024

On 05/11/2024, I accelerated onto the freeway at which point my vehicle would no longer go past 50 mph with the pedal to the floor. I had my two small children in the car at the time. It was dangerous as cars around us were going 65+ mph. The check engine light started blinking when this was occurring. Prior to that the check engine light had been on because the dealership claimed they didn’t know why it was triggering and that they have to take my engine out and replace it just to explore the issue. I don’t have the money for that. It has a knocking sound, a pungent fuel smell and it still won’t accelerate. I only have 85k miles on the car.

May 29, 2024

I was driving on the highway when my vehicle started decelerating and shutting down completely. I ended up safely pulling over because it could’ve been a serious accident and called FHP they tested my car code p1326 came up I had it towed to the dealership where they assured me I had the extended warranty and that the car should be covered and I don’t have to pay out of pocket. What the dealership told me would take 2 days has now been almost a month and still counting. I’ve had 3 denials for engine replacement due to being outside of warranty with Hyundai even though I have the extended warranty. The dealership has sent pictures and spoke with my case manager at Hyundai to confirm that the engine failure was due to the bent connecting rod bearing that is again covered under warranty. They came back and said other codes populated showing the cause was not the rod bearing but that has to be false. One of the other codes was regarding coolant and I’ve never had any issues with my car overheating or anything prior to my engine shutting down on the highway. I never had any flashing lights or warning signals on my dashboard. This was very unexpected and I refuse to pay for a repair that I didn’t cause especially when this is consistent with Hyundai and their engines. This is a 2019 I should not have any issues. I need a solution quick

The components that failed are the engine and transmission and parts associated with the functionality of these parts. It is currently in the shop but will be available for inspection upon request once repairs are complete. My safety and others were put at risk when these malfunctions occurred (driving incredibly slow on the highway could cause an accident, accelerator malfunctioning that might break, broken down late at night hours from home, parts catching fire from leaking oil, etc.). The problems have been acknowledged by my warranty company and the two repair shops that have serviced it. My car was inspected by Geico Insurance Company after I got rear-ended and needed to file a claim, however, the inspection was not specifically on my engine/transmission. The warning dash lights didn’t seem to come on until it was too late, especially during the transmission issue. I was driving around for days leading up to this issue thinking it was acting weird because it was due for an oil change but when I got one and nothing improved, I knew something was wrong. The check engine light did not come on until the car started to actively shut down and not move when I pressed the gas. The full detailed complaint is attached and receipts for repairs are available upon request. Attached is an overview of parts and pricing from the warranty company for the two claims.

I have to add oil to my every 2 days.. there is no leaks and I get frequent oil changes. Also acceleration to meet state limits my Rpm go super high not wanting to shift. Again no leaks and have checked so there is good transmission fluid in it

May 3, 2024

Check engine light comes on it has come more then 5 times. I take it to the dealership. They tell me they are doing an oil consumption test this makes the 5th one. Lane assist when trying to move away from a vehicle it pulls back almost getting you into an accident.

Apr 27, 2024

I was having oil consumptions issues which meant I had to put a quart of oil in my car every 500 miles I drove. Then I was driving when my check engine light started flashing and now my car can't drive without shaking a lot. I can't drive it anymore.

Apr 1, 2024

I believe that this car is a lemon. Ever since we bought it we have problems with the engine not performing right. I have got the engine system cleaned multiple times one at the dealership and one at Valvoline Oil Change facility. The engine still didn't run smooth. I would always get the oil changed on time and the vehicle has never been in a accident. Now just yesterday the vehicle while driving on the highway just stalled and wouldn't accelerate past 60mph. Now the check engine light is blinking and all of the lights on the dash are on. Also lately sometimes the forward collision lights will come on and other warning lights and sometimes they wont. Another light that intermittently comes on are the auto hold and epb light and this has been happening since we bought the vehicle. I have taken into Hyundai and they basically were like yea sometimes that happens. I have not gotten the new check engine light checked but I am sure that it is something serious because the car won't accelerate past 60mph. I have read on other discussions that there are many problems with Hyundai engines and believe that I am victim to very poor quality manufacturing in this engine. I also have a 2013 Toyota Camry with 180,000 miles and haven't had one problem with it. This car is a lemon and would like to have some help with this please. I have also made a complaint with Hyundai under their drive train warranty.

On March 13, 2023 while I was driving at about 70 mph on PA route 66, the engine suddenly stalled and fortunately, I was able to move to the emergence lane. I turned off the power and restarted the engine, and it worked. This is the third time that I have experienced the same issue, with other two on I-376. I also couldn't start the engine after refilling gas, so I had to wait for about 15 minutes. I took the car to a dealership but the diagnosis did not show any problem. There was not error code at all. On the internet, several possibilities were mentioned, but I do not have any idea about the root cause.

I have a Hyundai Tuscon 2019, which was pre-certified by Hyundai. This particular car was part of a lawsuit because of a knock sensor issue. The lawsuit information is here: [XXX] The knock sensor failing is not really what causes the safety issue. The engine symptoms when the sensor fails is the issue. The engine goes into "safety mode" which limits the car to a significant slower speed. The problem is that Hyundai has now tried to fix this issue twice on my vehicle, and the knock sensor continues to fail. To be clear, they've replaced the sensor twice. Based on the lawsuit, the court mandated them to fix the knock sensor. They have done that free of charge, but the sensor continues to fail. To me this sounds like a manufacture issue. It is incredibly dangerous when you're on a highway and the sensor fails. It happened to me, and it was almost catastrophic. The car slowed down and there is nothing you can do about it. I noticed there was something wrong very quickly and put my hazards on. If I didn't, I may not be writing you here. You could easily get into a significant accident, and from that could lead to injury or loss of life. I am asking for a review of this. I have my service records as well as recorded conversations with Hyundai corporate regarding this issue. Service records are attached. I live very close to NHTSA HQ and willing to come in if necessary. To me, this is concerning enough for that..

While driving, the engine completely lost power and was unable to go more than a couple MPH. We had it towed to the dealer and they told us it was a common issue on Hyundai engines and the fix was to replace the entire engine. It is available for inspection. Safety was compromised because we were in traffic when the power failed. Yes, we had the dealer confirm it. The only prior warning was that oil consumption was very high, which the dealer also confirmed is common.

The 2019 Hyundai Tucson was being driven home when all of a sudden acceleration was reduced to 25-30 mph. The Engine light went on while this happened. Got the car home, thankfully was off the highway and had it towed to the Dealership. Dealership informed me that it was an engine problem- a cylinder was blown and new engine would be needed on a car that had just reached the 40,000 mile mark. 40 other cars were brought into the dealership the same week and all needed new engines. If this car stopped working on the highway the consequences would have been dire! It is almost 2 weeks without a car- Dealership had no loaners left and we still don't have an answer from Hyundai if they plan to cover the engine still under warranty. We were told Hyundai had been denying allot of engines under warranty. And we were told it takes a long time to get an engine even if approved by Hyundai. If I must rent a car for a month or more, it will be very expensive. If 40 owners showed up at the same dealership in one community in the same week what is happening nationally and why hasn't Hyundai issued a recall? Do we have to wait until people's cars stop operating at full speed on a busy highway causing multi care pile ups before Hyundai speeds up response to repair but more importantly notifies owners of their vehicles this is a problem- a BIG problem!

On [XXX] as I was driving down the highway, the check engine light came on the dashboard and the car lost acceleration. I could not go any faster than approximately 30 miles per hour. Very dangerous situation when you’re traveling in a lane of traffic that’s is doing 65/70 mph. I was able to get the car to Premier Hyundai, a dealer in Seaside, CA. At that time there was a recall for the Knock sensor. They replaced the knock sensor at that time and did some other services including an oil change and sent me on my way. They told me at the time that the code that had come up was P1326. Entering this incident now, because I realized I had missed reporting this specific incident. This VIN# has had the issues 5 times since the [XXX] incident and I feel very strongly that this is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. when this happens when you are driving down the freeway at 65-70 MPH and it suddenly goes into LIMP MODE. You are at the mercy of the cars that are approaching you from behind doing 70 when you're only able to do 30 mph. This is an ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE Do SOMETHING. I see where you closed an investigation into these issues. - PLEASE REOPEN the investigation and hold the manufacturer accountable.

The vehicle was repaired under the major engine failure recall. Took the dealer months to replace the engine and now they are reporting the transmission is bad too. The car had absolutely no issues pre engine failure leaving me stranded. From reading up on forums I think transmission failures are just as common as engine leaving you stranded on a busy highway.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the check warning engine light started flashing and the vehicle started to lose motive power and stalled. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the engine oil level was very low. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, but the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact stated that an oil consumption test was being performed by the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,000.

On November 8, 2023 my check engine began flashing and my car lost Speed/Full power. I knew there was a knock sensor issue because I had this replaced in May of 2023 in order to comply with extended warranty services. I immediately pulled over to see if there was an identifiable issue. I was able to make it to a local orileys and they did a diagnostic check. It gave the p1326 code which I researched and found this to be the dreaded "needs a new engine code". I wasn't able to get an appointment until November 21st with a dealership. The one in my area wasn't taking anymore due to have over 100 vehicles with the same issue. My car has been at a dealership now since my November 21 st. It's extremely difficult to get a call from these people with any information. I called Hyundai and got a case manager, but that wasn't much help either. He said the dealership was very difficult for him to get in contact with as well. After numerous attempts and no returned calls or texts, I was finally asked for my maintenance records which I sent. I have all oil change records which showed the maintenance was done and in the correct manner and time frame. On January 10th I was told that my issue was not the rod bearing issue that is covered under warranty, but instead it was a piston slap in my engine and that Hyundai had agreed to pay for half of my engine replacement. My cost would be $3,200 plus they had already charged me $250.00 for a battery replacement. I feel this is Hyundais way of skirting around the warranty wording. The piston slap needs to be covered under their extended warranty. This is all related to their bad engines. There was a specific campaign focused on the p1326 code. I have been without my vehicle for 3 months now and I'm still making payments on an auto loan and paying insurance on a vehicle I can't use. The service manager told me that my car was still drivable, but it's NOT SAFE His exact words. Was notprovided a rental and told it's notcovered

On [XXX], my wife and I were traveling westbound on [XXX] in the left hand lane approximately 30 miles from Lincoln, NE. I noticed blue smoke coming from my exhaust. I had to maneuver to avoid traffic in the right hand lane to exit. The engine and oil light came on about 30 yards from where we were able to stop safely. There was a large amount of oil on the ground under the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the nearest dealership in Lincoln, NE. On [XXX], the service manager called and asked who last changed my oil. He explained that the oil plug "was left loose, upon diagnosis for the oil light being on, removing the underbody shield to drain the oil out to inspect it, the plug fell out as it was laying on the shield." Prior to the vehicle becoming disabled there was not any indication of the oil plug being lose such as oil residue on the car or leakage appearing in any driveway. The oil was last changed in early September with over 5000 miles driven. The oil change was completed by Walmart prior to the issuance of the TSB #[XXX] to replace the one time use crush type gasket and to confirm no old washer is stuck in the opening. The dealership has not submitted this for a warranty repair and claims Walmart is the responsible party. The TSB #[XXX] indicates that if engine damage occurs from not following the guidelines is subject to warranty chargeback. However, at the time of the oil change, TSB #[XXX] was not yet issued. It seems odd that there was no oil leakage or oil residue on the car prior to [XXX] that the oil plug would suddenly back out unless the oil plug/pan has some sort of defect. It may be reasonable to believe that Hyundai does not want to upload the warranty on engines that are known to have issues. We have submitted a claim to our insurance company to investigate if this was caused by hitting something on the road and have submitted a claim with Walmart.

I was just entering the expressway about 70 miles from my home, and the engine light came on in the vehicle. I could not accelerate to more than 52 mph even with the pedal to the floor. I had to drive home in the right-hand lane with my hazards on. This was the second time this happened within a month. The first time the dealer replaced the knock sensor after one week. It ran fine for 3 weeks and then the exact same thing happened in exactly the same place 70 miles from my home. My car has been in the shop for a week now, and they still don't know what the issue is, even though they are communicating with Hyundai. I see a pattern here after reading so many similar complaints from other people owning a Hyundai Tucson.

Jan 6, 2024 Fire

I was driving on the highway. The engine began making a ticking noise that momentarily went away and then quickly got louder. I saw white smoke out of the back, pulled over, and then saw black smoke from the front. The check engine light only momentarily came out AFTER the white smoke was visible and I was actively pulling over. I ran out of the car, and turned to look only to see a fire under the engine bay. I did not have a collision nor hit anything on the road. Engine had full synthetic oil in it, and the oil was changed less than 10,000 miles precious. (Also checked oil level/condition the week before). The car went from driving fine, to entirely engulfed in flames within 2-4 minutes. Maine state police: case# 245000657 The vehicle has not been inspected by the insurance company yet. The report will be sent to me, and it is currently available for inspection upon request. I literally could have burned alive. My family could have been trapped. I was on the highway, LUCKILY I decided to pull over when I did. If I did not, within 40 seconds I would’ve been engulfed in flames. I have most certainly not been sleeping well in the least bit. The only warning sign happened 5-10 seconds before I was out of the vehicle.

Dear sir, my 2019 Hyundai Tucson has been in and out of Milford Hyundai five times now they say it is in oil consumption problem they say they requested a new motor. This last time my grandson was in the car we were on the highway out of nowhere the car would not go over 30 miles an hour light was flashing. I got off the highway and called AAA that was eight days ago previous to that it has been checked and towed in three times and driven in while the light was flashing And not going over 30 miles an hour I have not heard from anyone in service . They have not gotten back to me to let me know what’s going on. Their customer service is awful. Please advise I am [XXX] they are taking advantage of my age and me being a woman who has duties and works and grandchildren and a mom I need a car.

My 2019 HyandI Tucson’s engine light came on, so I checked my engine oil and found it to be 2 quarts low on oil, so I added the missing oil and come to find out that 2 weeks ago I had added one quart of oil. That mean in 3 weeks I added 3 quarts of motor oil. I brought the car to our HuandI dealership where we have our vehicles serviced and explained to them to check for engine oil leaks and when I came back to pick up the car, they told me there was no sign of any oil leaks. So if there are no leaks, where is all this oil going? The engine runs just fine but it’s burning much to much oil. I mean you shouldn’t have to put one quart of oil every week, that’s just crazy.. I will have to bring the car back to the dealership in Centereach NY., and tell them to check again, this car is driven locally by my wife and she never drives over 55 MPH, even on the expressway. This car was never abused. I have a 2004 Chevy Venture with 195 thousand and I never put oil in it, I just have it replaced every 3 thousand miles, that’s it, I did notice that we aren’t the only ones that have this problem with this model car, that’s insane. I may just have to write a letter to the CEO, if they can’t find the problem. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

On November 13, 2023 I was driving the vehicle and the check engine light came on and it went into "limp mode". I was well aware of what was happening because this is at least the 4th time this has occurred since owning the vehicle. It happened in Dec of 2022, Feb 2023, and again on July 6, 2023, The last time it happened the dealer had it for over a month and could not "reproduce" the problem, so I got the car back without anything really haven been done to fix it. Same as in Dec 2022 and Feb 2023. I had to fight to get the dealership to get me a "loaner" rental and had to pay for it out of my own pocket to start with. Eventually after many, many phone calls, voicemails, emails later - I did get reimbursed. But this did not happen until I email the President of Hyundai and all the executives of Hyundai. I didn't get the car back until a month later and still nothing was done. So here were are 3 months later and it's throwing the same issue/problem and I am back at square one. At this point in time, I am not interested in having it "diagnosed", all I want is for Hyundai to do a "buyback" so that I can get into a vehicle that I can trust to be reliable and not breaking down for no apparent reason every 2-3 months. This is totally ridiculous and the government needs to do more to hold Hyundai accountable for these pieces of crap cars they've put on the market. Irritated is not even the word. Will be calling the Western District Manager today as that is the last person I talked to back in August when I got it back - he said to call him directly and he would "take care of it".

Oil consumption issues. Presented at oil change with very little oil, no warning light, followed by a loss of a quart every month following. Contacted Hyundai for oil consumption test. Dealer said I would have to replace the oil pan gasket ($600)before they would start the test from Hyundai. Loss of power or engine seizing could be dangerous. I feel Hyundai shoud replace the engine and reimburse me for the oilpan gasket.

Engine passing rod bearing clearance test. I have had the vehicle towed 3x to the dealership for the same issue. KSDS and combustion chamber cleaning was done but check engine light still coming on. This car has put my safety at risk by going into limp mode while driving over 60 mph.

My engine has been losing oil with no leak. 1st shut down was 02sensors crank shaft , check engine light still on took it fixed it not sure how. Brought it in for upgrade in security took it out and a week later didn't start. Now entire exhaust is gone it's still burning oil I called ciorperate because he would not acknowledge the burning oil. So we will start this every 1000 kile test x3 so it may be diagnosed but they still want ne to pay 2600 fix exhaust that is directly linked to sludge and burning oil!? I do nit know what to do but I have already put 1000s in fir service rental tow I literally cannot pay 2600 to get car back to prove the problem and eat it it isn't fair well jotting is but this has got to be illegal so ehow... I hope

My engine light began blinking and the engine went into emergency mode on 3 separate occasions, and would not go over 40 mph; there was no prior warning. The first incident was in February of this year; the second was in April of this year, and the third occurrence was on 7/28. I purchased my car on 10/8/19 from Fred Beans Hyundai of Doylestown used, with about 12,000 miles on it. It now has 34,426 miles on it. I don't know what's causing the problem, and there haven't been any engine recalls. All the open recalls on it were serviced. When all the traffic around me is doing 60mph or better, this is hazardous stuff! My car has been towed to Fred Beans Hyundai of Langhorne for repair.

On Thursday, July6th 2023 for the 3rd time, the check engine light came on and the vehicle loses acceleration. My safety and others is at risk because it suddenly decelerates and is very likely to cause an accident.the car has been dropped off at dealer who told me they would “try” to look at it early next week. Its not been inspected by Police, Manufacturer or ins reps. The same problem occurred on Dec28 2022 and again in April of 2022. In Dec they replaced the “knock sensor”. In April the code had been cleared so the dealer said there was nothing they could do. Im in a rental vehicle now because the dealer did not have a loaner for me.

Knock Senser failed? On Dec 11, 2022 I was merging onto the highway at 530pm rush hour. I merged over one lane and the car made a loud noise and died. Cars flying past me on both sides dodging me in limp mode. I merged back to the right, there was no shoulder area available, so I coasted and finally came to a clearing on the side. I don't know how we didn't get hit. I ended up on a connecting road to another highway, and the Tow company couldn't find us because I didn't know where we were. It took about 3 hours of waiting for service. I had the Hazard lights on until the battery died. There was no warning except for the loud rattling noise and then boom. The car was towed to CHapman Hyundai in Phoenix, it has taken 5 months to get it repaired. I have 5 months of car rental bills and they still have not reimbursed me.

Jun 27, 2023

Oil consumption issues. No warnings of low oil until vehicle goes into limp mode and the check engine light flashes. Issue started in 8/22. I purchased the car used in 6/21. I have done 2 separate oil consumption tests. The last one concluded on June 21st, 2023. The dealership submitted information to Hyundai. Less than a week later, after the dealership filled the vehicle with oil, it is empty. No warnings. It was discovered because we have been checking the oil often. Vehicle has been towed to dealership 3 times since March. Vehicle currently at the dealership due to no oil.

On May 12 2023 I was driving my vehicle and heard a knocking sound that was unfamiliar. I pulled over and opened my hood and could hear the engine making a continuous knocking noise. I got back into my vehicle to take it to the closest mechanic and the vehicle failed after I had went barely a quarter of a mile. It took Hyundai almost 2.5 weeks to get an appointment with them and another week to have the car diagnosed. The service department called me and said the engine was bad and needed to be replaced. The car engine was still under warranty so my main concern was how long I had been without my vehicle and the rental car costs I was incurring. My vehicle was finally ready and fixed according to the service department. I went picked up my vehicle and started to drive home. As soon as I started to accelerate I noticed the car seemed to be delayed or was having difficulty accelerating. The ac also started hissing and blowing out hot air. I took the car back to the service department and had to wait another week. Finally get a call from Hyundai saying no issues were found and it passed all the tests. I go pick up the car and less then 24 hours later the car acceleration seems to be struggling and the car is having difficulty going past 50 mph. So now I’m back at square one taking my car that Hyundai says is fine back to Hyundai.

Jun 20, 2023

In June of 2023, my check engine light came on and my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. I took it into the local Hyundai dealership who said it would take 3 months to look at and that this wasn’t a major issue. The car would not accelerate past 45 mph and could barely go up an incline. The dealership never even ran a diagnostic. I checked my oil dip stick and there was barely any oil on it. My vehicle isn’t due for an oil change until September. A local oil change business said I barely had one quart in the engine. They ran the codes and they came up as a P000B and a P1326. Dealership still hasn’t returned my call.

May 28, 2023

At approximately 69000 miles my engine stalled as I was pulling onto a highway and would not accelerate beyond a low mph. I turned back into gas station I had left and checked the oil. It did not register any oil and had a burning smell. There were never any dash lights indicating low oil. I put almost 2 quarts in vehicle. I then proceeded to drive as it seemed okay. I have had oil changes where the technicians have told me I was low on oil even though it was a normal time frame for oil change. I recently checked my oil just right as my oil change is due and the oil level did not register, nor were there any low oil indicators on dash. I had to add a quart of oil. This poses a hazard/safety problem. If not checked more often than normal, oil could go low and stall again. If pulling into a busy traffic area and a stall occurs, there could be an accident etc not to mention damage to the motor/engine itself. I have to frequently check the oil levels which should not have to happen for a vehicle with 70k+ miles.

May 18, 2023

Replaced catalytic converter been to the shop twice. It keeps having reoccurring issue of not wanting to accelerate, won’t go over 54, wont go over 2000 rpm, stalls and misfires. My neighbor has same model and year and just had to replace catalytic converter as well.

May 7, 2023

My car is burning oil at an abnormal fast rate. I have taken it in to the dealership and they couldn't find the reason for the abnormal increase in oil burning rate. They couldn't find any leaking of oil. I am constantly putting in oil before the 3000 or 3 month oil change is due. If I don't the check engine light comes on and my oil is low. I haven't ran it out of oil but this worries me. Due to persistence from me the dealership replaced the oil sensor but that didn't change anything in regards to the amount of oil this car uses. This started in 2021. My warranty has since expired and I haven't been able to afford taking the car back and fourth to the dealership. I have had it looked at several times without a resolution. We ended up purchasing an extended warranty but that doesn't cover this apparently so we have wasted our money with that and still the problem isn't resolved.

I’m traveling for work and I have only had to car 11 months. I have 52,000 miles on it and today tracking home my car engine light came on and my car wouldn’t shift through the hills in Missouri. It got so bad after 1 mile of the engine light flashing at me that I had to stop in a construction highway with one lane and stop all traffic to let my car cool down for almost 15 minutes and I started it up and it would not go over 10 miles a hour. With my flashers on I got off the next exit and ran a diagnostic at O’riley’s in St. James Missouri. My codes are reading CAMSHAFT IGNITION CONTROL (P000B) and IGNITION CONTROL MODULE COMBUSTION QUALITY INPUT SIGNAL (P1326)

May 4, 2023

We have been told by our local Hyundai dealership that the car is burning oil and is unsafe to drive. The dealership recommended a full engine replacement and put in the request to Hyundai HQ who denied the request. The dealership then told us that we need to drive the car for at least 4,000 miles and bring the car in for 24hr - 48hr testing every 1,000 miles. This is our primary family car and we have been told by our own mechanic and the dealership service center that the car is not safe to drive and could be a fire risk. Yet, Hyundai HQ is insisting that we do this oil consumption test and risk our lives and the lives of our children.

May 4, 2023

My engine is abnormally burning oil with no leaks. Hyundai dealership technicians have verified no leaks. Every 800-1000 miles driven, my oil is down to less than half, and I have to get an oil change. I've now gotten 4 oil changes in 4500 miles.

*Inside of car smelt like urine upon start. Car went into limp mode. First trip to dealership, catalytic converter was replaced. After the 6th time to dealership for same issue, manufacture approved engine replacement. *The car went into limp mode which posed a safety risk to our family as well as other vehicles on the road. This happened twice while on the freeway and we could have been rear-ended due to unexpected reduced speed. This also happened twice while turning with oncoming traffic approaching. *The problem was reproduced as this happened 6 times before the manufacture would approve an engine replacement. *The dealership replaced all the fuel injectors. No change engine went into limp mode P1326 (failure code). *The dealership installed a new short block engine. *The engine smelling like urine appears to be the first symptom (catalytic converter failure and replaced). When the car went into limp mode the engine light flashes. P1326 (failure code). Urine smell occurred beginning in July 2022 at (23,926 miles). Car went into limp mode for the first time on September 23 (approximately 25,400). * Another issue we are now addressing not related to the above engine issues: Car fish-tales when you drive over any bump in the road. *The dealership is replacing both rear shock absorbers. They said both shocks were leaking fluid. *Car is very unstable and throws you around (like hydro-planning the pavement is dry). *No warning signs, just started happening.

Engine lost power. The vehicle was brought in 3 times since 10/22 to Atlantic Hyundai in. The last time was 3/23. The motor was finally evaluated and results sent to Hyundai Corporate Headquarters and the told Atlantic to replace the motor. Service manager Tim Turnbull refused to do so and stated he was putting in a chip in, for us to drive it for 30 days and bring it back in for evaluation. The motor is unsafe.

Vehicle engine light has been on for months, it would come and go. I’ve taken it to Hyundai but they kept saying nothing comes up and maybe it was the gas cap needing to be changed. My car also burns oil TOO fast and the dealership has expressed concern. I’ve also been getting a front collision camera disabled message on the dashboard for the last two days. On 3/23/23, my Tucson not only start making a loud noise but the engine light is blinking and barely drives. I almost didn’t make it home safely or at all

While driving to work on Thursday, February 23 2023, the car suddenly turned off flashing the check engine light and oil light. I was driving on the palisades interstate parkway in New York and had enough momentum with the car to get off on the next exit. Once the car was safely off of the road, I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick because the oil light was flashing and it was smoking. The oil light never came on before with the car. The car also had the recall for the knock sensor replacement to avoid this engine failure. I called Hyundai and the salesperson directed me to have the car towed to the dealership at my expense. Once at the dealer ship, the service advisor explained that they have had several cars come in with the same issue and that they would get back to me. A couple days later, they explained that the engine had burned all the oil and that Hyundai would replace it. The issue here is that that was my only car. I have a job and a son while other duties to fulfill. I was explained that it would take a while to get a motor since they’ve had cars sitting with the same issue since December and that they also had a wait of double digits people for the next loaner. I did not get an eta of when I would have my car back or when I can get a loaner. They also will not cover rental fees for a rental car. I have been paying for cabs and other forms of transport and still have no estimation of when I will get my car back.

2019 Hyundai Tuscon experienced engine failure at 66k miles. This vehicle experienced the exact same issues of vehicles Hyundai previously recalled. It is equipped with knock sensor which was supposed to be a "fix" for the known engine issues. A sensor displaying on dash at the same time the engine starts loudly knocking does not make the vehicle safe. The engine still has the potential to fail and catch fire. Hyundai needs to fix all these engine issues. The Hyundai corporate consumer affairs office nor the dealership will return calls or emails about our vehicle.

Feb 15, 2023

Check engine light has come on twice AFTER the car was at dealers for the recall about the knock sensor. Dealer states the recall fix was implemented, however the light came on a day or two after the vehicle was in the shop. I believe they installed a new knock sensor but I’m not sure, check engine light was off when I picked it up. It’s been approximately 5 weeks since I’ve gotten it back and the check engine light came on again. Friend had a scanner tool and used it - code indicated it was the knock sensor again. Went to dealer and was told there was nothing they could do because the code was cleared. This is a huge safety issue as I drive CA freeways with cars doing 75 mph- it will run for a limited time but it won’t let you accelerate and will get you to the dealer but you must get it to dealer in a very short window- it’s an engine problem and could put me in extreme danger ⛔️

I was merging onto a highway at high speeds when the car stuttered. The check engine light began to flash and I lost acceleration. I could push the gas pedal to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. The car lost it's speed and I could not go anymore than 30mph, and it would not go higher than 2rpms. It put me and my baby (who was in the backseat) in danger as we were going fast on a highway and out of nowhere the car lost speed and I could not accelerate. I could've easily been hit by another driver going the regular speed limit. I drove it to the dealership that just happened to be down the street, and the car struggled to accelerate from a complete stop, as well as in general. From a complete stop, the car would sputter and jerk when pressing on the gas pedal. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty Knock Sensor. They said they would replace the sensor as it was still under warrenty. When I left the dealership, the check engine light was off and the car was driving fine. Fast forward to the next day, I was driving again on a highway at about 65mph, when the SAME thing happens. The car stuttered, lost all acceleration, and the check engine light was flashing. I ended up driving it home (about 10 miles away) and the whole time I could not go faster than 30mph without the car shaking. This time the car would not go higher than 1.5rpms. I checked the engine at home and a P1326 code came up, which is a code for the Knock Sensor. I called the Hyundai dealership that I originally went to and they said there was nothing they can do about it at the moment since they had just replaced it. Prior to all of this, there was no warning sign at all that this was a potential hazard. It happened so suddenly and both times it happened put me in a dangerous situation.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH and merging onto the highway, the vehicle began to lose motive power. The contact stated that the check engine warning light started flashing. The contact stated that a loud humming noise was coming from the engine compartment. Additionally, the steering wheel began to vibrate. The contact pulled off the highway, and at the bottom of the off ramp she had to stop for a traffic light.

While driving, I came to a stop sign and the car completely shut off. The car restarted and then I stopped at a stop sign and the car completely shut off. I had the car towed and they told me that it had catastrophic engine failure. I haven’t even owned this car for 1 year yet. How could the engine fail. Upon further investigation, it appears that this is a known issue with Hyundai Tucson’s of the same year.

In this 2019 Hyundai Tucson with about 31,000 miles, engine stalling occurred the second time during driving with two passengers on I-76 at approximately 73 mph in the cruise mode on September 11, 2022; the speed kept dropping and gas pedal did not respond at all; fortunately, the driver could manage to pull over the car to an emergency zone; from the lesson in the first engine stalling incident on I-376 on in October 2021, turning the ignition key to the OFF position then to the "ON" appeared to make the engine work again, like nothing occurred; there was no engine warning light, or OBDII warnings.

2019 Hyundai Tucson I purchased 13 months ago with a mere 5, 241 miles on it., (Currently 29k mi) from Bert Ogden Subaru/Mazda in Edinburg, TX. On 6/26/22 it Started Shaking violently then "rodknocking" and finally failing in middle of major, high-traffic hwy. Near causing accident. NOwarning lights, check engine lights, oil lights, etc. Car was towed to Tipton Ford Hyundai, in Brownsville, TX. As it urns out (through my own research), my vin# falls under a recall issue that was not fixed prior to purchase nor disclosed to me, re:"engine monitoring and logics warning system failure". More importantly, 2) There are several class-action lawsuits underway, one settled, in which Hyundai was found liable for faulty "class II Theta Engines" and a suit involving "GDI NU 2.OL" (same as my vehicle) leading to rod knocking sensor failure, premature worn bearings and even cars catching fire! This is a no-brainer situation in which hyundai should be replacing my engine as ordered, but instead they are claiming, vehicle "neglect" (all maint. receipts were provided)and rejecting claim(which seems to be their m.o. based on similar complaints / civil filings that are ALL OVER THE WEB) and dealer says Im responsible for paying for new engine. Not sure who is responsible: the dealer I purchased from, for selling me a defective vehicle, the Hyundai dealer it was towed to, or Hyundai itself for denying what is a VERY well known liability on their part and apparently a widespread years-long issues with engine defects, recalls, suits, judgements, etx but have many court transcripts of consumers claiming Hyundai blaming thd customer for "neglect" to avoid replacing engine. I need legal help and advice. I HAVE to have car for work and dealer knows it and seems hyundai does, because they wont cover rental, wont provide "loaner" and seems dealer didnt even debate this with HMA because I purchased vehicle elsewhere. They just accepted Hyundai's denial and is now attempting to take advantage.

Engine failure due to connecting rods issue. Engine began to smoke while driving with no warning, had complete engine failure and had to have vehicle towed to dealership.

Apr 26, 2022 Fire

The contact owned a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH the vehicle started smoking and overheating. The contact was able to pull over safely. There were no warning lights on the instrument panel. Once the vehicle stopped the doors were automatically locked. The nearby drivers notified the contact of the fire under the vehicle. Once the contact exited the vehicle, the engine was destroyed by the fire. The inside of the vehicle was still functional. The state police arrived on the scene; however, a police report has not been obtained. The fire department also arrived and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to a wrecking yard. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. There were no injuries or medical reports. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

I helped my daughter buy a used 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with 42K miles since she was going to med school and needed reliable transportation. At 62K miles the engine failed. The engine stalled in the middle of the highway and she was in the middle of the highway for some time before she could restart the engine. She was nearly rear ended. The dealer she brought the car back to said there was no oil in the engine despite the fact that she had the oil changed two months before this incident. There have been many problems with the Hyundai "Theta II" and 2 liter GDI engines that were supposedly fixed and there was a class action lawsuit on Hyundai Tuscons up to 2016 which was well publicized. This car has a 2 liter engine (which is all I know). It does not appear that Hyundai has fixed their engine problems since I believe this is the same problem as before. I am filing this complaint in my daughetrs behalf since she has to take her medical boards in one month. It is bad enough that her car has been tied up for 3 months and she has to transport her husband across town twice a day.

Apr 12, 2022

As previously stated, was driving when csr began to smoke and stall. After almost three months of being at the dealership it was determined to be the ROD BEARING failure. Earlier models of this vehicle have been recalled due to this issue. Please look into the newer models as well.

Motor blew with regular maintenance done at 77k

Mar 20, 2022

When driving car slowed down and battery sign appeared on the dash board. The car started to gives jerks when stopped at the traffic light. When continued after the lights, it struggled to pick up. This happened two to three times in two days.

Mar 7, 2022

Engine stalled. Drove it to gas station but engine has knocking sound. Was told that it may fall under the Theta Engines recall.

Mar 4, 2022

Car started knocking on a Wednesday like it wanted to cut off, no engine lights came on. Got car towed to dealership on Thursday morning, still no engine light. Dealership called on Thursday said I need a new engine. Car was a 2019 Hyundai Tucson which I purchased in 2020 with 60,059miles. I was the second owner.

Feb 24, 2022

On 2-23-2022 , I was driving approximately 30 MPH when all of a sudden there was a noise that kept getting louder which sounded like a knocking or broken fan, the vehicle RPM increased, the vehicle hesitated, did not accelerate, stalled, the check oil and engine light came on, I coasted into parking lot. When I opened the hood, there was no signs of smoke, oil leak, or smells, however, when I went to check the oil, smoke came out of where the oil dip stick goes. I attempted to have the vehicle jump started with no luck, just a clicking sound. I had the vehicle towed to be serviced.

Feb 4, 2022

Was driving uphill, heard a clanging sound. Car engine completely shut off and started smoking, lights worked. Towed it to dealer, they said it will be 30 days before we hear about the issue, they said they will fix the original recall after tearing the engine down.

Jan 5, 2022

While driving down a busy road at 10:00 pm on New Years Eve, my vehicle's engine completely shut off. Immediately prior to the shut off, the vehicle's dash displayed the oil and battery lights. The vehicle's automatic emergency brake and steering wheel lock were both engaged, not allowing me (or the tow truck company) to move my vehicle out of this busy road. My car remained in this location for 3 and a half hours. The hazard lights stopped working after the first hour, making it extremely difficult to see that the vehicle was stopped. After the second hour, an officer parked behind my vehicle with their lights flashing as he said it was an extremely dangerous situation and my car was sure to be hit. He was able to get a tow truck to me before Hyundai. For hours, numerous people were forced to brake quickly/swerve into other lane to avoid hitting my car. This occurred right before an intersection, putting 4 directions of drivers at risk of collision. I stood in the rain, near my car, attempting to help direct drivers away from the lane until the police officer showed up. The vehicle is now at the dealership which confirmed engine failure, pending replacement. Possibly related, this vehicle had the catalytic convertor replaced 3 months prior. It is not yet confirmed if this contributed to the engine failure.

Jan 3, 2022

The engine in my 2019 Hyundai Tucson turned off while driving down the interstate without any lights or warnings. My 2 year old was in the back seat at the time, and this could have caused a significant risk to not only myself and son, but others on the road if we were not traveling at highway speed. The vehicle was safely pulled over to the side of the road and would not restart. I got it towed to the dealership it was purchased from and they informed me they have been having a lot of issues with engines recently and mine would need to be replaced. It has now been sitting at the dealership since Thanksgiving waiting to be serviced, which is covered under manufacture warranty. It is located at Hyundai of Brunswick in Brunswick, Ga and can be accessed if needed.

Dec 23, 2021

Purchased the vehicle in June 2021 only had 1 previous owner. The dealership stated it was a pre-owned certified used vehicle that had just been inspected and service. Within the first month I had to take it back for multiple issues most recently the catalytic converter to be replaced and the Engine. I haven't even owned it let alone driven it long or far enough for either of these parts to need service or have failed. It's not even time for my first oil change that how low the mileage is that I've put on it. The dealership originally told me they never head about the complaints regarding the engine now they are trying to stiff me on selling me a lemon by charging me 3000 and telling me Hyundai isn't willing to cover the repairs. If this is a known issue which is seems to be a recall should now be issued.

Dec 21, 2021

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

Dec 3, 2021

Purchased the car in March 2021 with 41,391 miles on it. The day after I picked it up check engine light came on checked the code it was a P0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold, contacted dealer they took the car in and replaced the catalytic converter. Now 8 months later & a little less than 15,000 miles the check engine light came on again and guess what code popped up? P0420 now I am not an auto expert but I don't think its right that a catalytic converter would need to be replaced twice in that short time frame. Time to figure out what is causing this considering I am not the only one who has reported this

2019 Tucson 74165 miles. While driving on the highway the engine began to knock, and as the traffic came to a stop the car stalled and the oil and battery light came on. Before that the lights never came on. I got it to the shoulder and checked the oil, it was dry with no leaks on the outside of the engine. Towed to my mechanic and he said total engine failure. Hyundai discontinued this motor and Jasper a leading engine manufacturer will not produce after market because they cannot warranty it for three years or hundred thousand miles. This will become a recall as this model year gets higher milage, and Hyundai knows it.

Sep 16, 2021

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle was consuming oil.

The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where they were unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer and diagnosed that an oil change was needed, and the PCV valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. Additionally, while her daughter was driving the vehicle hesitated and failed to accelerate. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer and it was determined that an oil consumption test needed to be performed. The manufacturer was notified however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 41,580.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING A RECALL FOR THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ON HYUNDAI TUCSON. I ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT BUT THE ONLY APPOINTMENT AVAILABLE WAS MORE THAN A MONTH LATER. I ACCEPTED THAT APPOINTMENT BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE. NOW, THE DEALER HAS CALLED ME TO SAY THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THIS RECALL IS A BIG ISSUE AND COULD CAUSE ENGINE FIRE IF NOT FIXED. PLUS, THE LETTER SAYS THAT I SHOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE PARKED OUTSIDE UNTIL THE REPAIR IS COMPLETED WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS THING COULD CATCH FIRE EVEN WITH THE CAR OFF! I AM NOT ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME AND THIS IS A BIG HARDSHIP. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND I AM AFRAID TO STORE IT AND STEW HANSEN HYUNDAI, THE DEALER IS FAILING TO REMEDY THIS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

I BOUGHT A HYUNDAI TUCSON LAST MAY 2019 THINKING THAT I WAS INVESTING ON SAFETY BUT I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG. I'M NOW HAVING RECALL AFTER RECALL AND NO FINAL SOLUTION. I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING A HOT AIR BY THE DRIVER SIT FOR A FEW DAYS NOW. AT FIRST I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS SOMETHING POTENTIALLY HARMFUL AND THOUGHT I COULD CHECK ON MY NEXT OIL CHANGE VISIT (SINCE IT IS CLOSE TO HAPPEN), BUT SHORTLY AFTER I RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL REGARDING ABS (#195). MY FIRST ACTION WAS TO GET IT CHECKED ASAP SINCE I USE MY CAR GET TO WORK AND I CARRY MY CHILD CONSTANTLY. THIS IS A HUGE CONCERN FOR ME, I DON'T WANT TO EXPERIENCE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO GET HELP. I'VE CALLED ALL THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND MY AREA AND FURTHER TO SCHEDULE THE SERVICE BUT NO ONE EVEN HAVE THE PIECES TO DO THE SERVICE AND IT WILL TAKE WEEKS FOR THEM TO RECEIVE IT. I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANY LONGER I NEED A SOLUTION. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE (ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILD) AND SOMETHING BAD HAPPEN LIKE I'VE SEEN ONLINE AND LIKE FRIENDS WITH HYUNDAI WENT THROUGH. I WOULD LIKE HYUNDAI TO CONTACT ME ASAP TO DISCUSS A SOLUTION. I DON'T TRUST THE VEHICLE AND I FEAR FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!

ON A ROAD TRIP WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING MY 2019 CPO HYUNDAI TUCSON/10800 MILES, THE CAR DID THIS BIG JOLT AND THE FORWARD VEHICLE COLLISION DETECTION AVOIDANCE, HAZARD INDICATOR & SERVICE NOW LIGHTS WENT OFF. THE ENGINE RPM'S REVVED UP VERY HIGH CONTINUOUSLY. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP THE CAR WOULD BARELY GO WITH THE PEDAL ALMOST FLOORED. THIS MADE THE DRIVING THRU THE INTERSECTIONS WITH CARS HONKING DANGEROUS. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR OFF, IT RESET ITSELF AND WAS BACK TO NORMAL. THE VERY NEXT DAY ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR DID THE EXACT SAME THING WITH EVEN A BIGGER JOLT AND ALL THE INDICATORS ABOVE WENT ON AGAIN FOR 10 SECONDS. PULLED OVER, TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THE CAR RESET ITSELF. I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I TOOK IT TO KEYES HYUNDAI IN VAN NUYS, CA. THEY DECIDED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER NEEDED REPLACING AND DID IT. AFTER PICKING IT UP, THE VERY NEXT DAY THE BIG JOLT HAPPENED AGAIN ALSO WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. THIS TIME THE SIDE MIRROR AVOIDANCE SYSTEM, HAZARD LIGHTS AND SERVICE NOW INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT OFF FOR 10 SECONDS. I RETURNED IT TO THAT SAME DEALER AND THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM EVEN AFTER TALKING TO THE TECH LINE AND ENGINEERS AT HYUNDAI USA. I SAID IT SOUNDS LIKE THE MAIN COMPUTER MAY BE THE ISSUE BUT THEY REFUSED TO CONSIDER THAT SAYING THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ERROR CODES. THEY THEN TOLD ME THAT THE ERROR CODES RECYCLE ITSELF WHEN TURNING THE THE CAR ON AND OFF AND GET ERASED!! I HAVE TO RETURN HOME FROM MY ROAD TRIP AND I AM VERY SCARED TO TAKE IT BACK ON THE ROAD AND DRIVE ANOTHER 1200 MILES. IT DEFINITELY FEELS DANGEROUS WITH THE CAR REVVING AT SUCH HIGH RPM'S AND IT BARELY MOVING WHEN I BRING IT TO A STOP. THIS OCCURED 3 TIMES NOW AND I AM AFRAID OF IT HAPPENING AGAIN AND HAVING BOUGHT A LEMON, POTENTIALLY. IT WAS PURCHASED @ WEBB HYUNDAI IN MERRILLVILLE, IN IN MARCH OF 2020 WITH 3939 MILES ON IT.
