Your engine lost all its oil without any visible leaks, and the oil warning light never came on to alert you. The engine suddenly started making knocking sounds with no prior warning signs. The fix will likely involve checking the oil level regularly, inspecting for internal oil consumption issues, and possibly replacing the engine oil pressure sensor or warning system if it's faulty.

Your car's oil pump failed, which caused severe damage to the engine. Without proper oil circulation, the engine components couldn't be lubricated, leading to internal damage. The engine will likely need to be replaced or completely rebuilt.

Your 2010 Hyundai Tucson stalled suddenly while stopped, even though no warning lights appeared. This happened about two months after the dealer applied a software update for engine monitoring. When towed to the dealer, they found the engine monitoring system had failed, but the exact repair needed wasn't clear. Hyundai agreed to cover only half the repair cost, so the vehicle wasn't fixed. The repair will likely involve engine computer diagnostics and possibly reprogramming or replacement of the engine control module.
