2012 Hyundai Tucson Engine Problems

Your engine suddenly stalled while driving on the interstate with no warning, causing a dangerous loss of power. You heard a loud knocking sound, saw engine and oil warning lights, and smelled burning. The Hyundai dealership confirmed this was sudden engine rod failure, which matches Hyundai recall 181. The repair will likely require engine rod replacement or a complete engine replacement.

Your engine suddenly seized while you were driving at highway speed, forcing you to coast to the shoulder. The dealership refused to help under warranty, but a mechanic discovered your car was already involved in a class action lawsuit for the same engine failure and had previously received a replacement engine. This sudden loss of engine power at 65 mph created a dangerous situation with no warning.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at undisclosed speeds, there was smoke coming from the tailpipe and a gurgling sound was coming from the exhaust. Additionally, the vehicle was experiencing excessive oil consumption. The vehicle was taken to the local service center who diagnosed that the engine oil was present inside the engine cylinder and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 137,000.

Three months ago, I was driving my car when the engine shut down while I was driving on the highway. I was able to pull over safely, however, I could have been in a fatal accident as my engine could no longer accelerate while I was on the highway. My car has been sitting in the Hyundai dealership since September 9 when the incident occurred, with Hyundai stating it can take 6-8 months. This has since placed my financial situation at a personal difficulty as the dealership has not been able to even diagnose car yet as they’ve stated, many other cars have the same issue that are ahead of mine. I tried reaching out to Hyundai customer support to get a rental car, but they said they cannot provide one until a proper diagnosis has been met so I would have to pay out-of-pocket until then, which I don’t know for sure if the rental will for sure be covered in full, much less I cannot afford to pay out of pocket in the meantime anyhow. If Hyundai could send a certified diagnosis to the customer support, that would then allow them to fund a rental car while the dealership finishes repairing the engine.

Driving home doing about 70 mph, i perchased this vehicle directly from a Hyundai Dealership, (112,445 at time of perchase) I had the vehicle for about a month and half, the vehicle did not give me any warnings until it randomly started to rev high while on the highway and very quickly after that I heard a clanking noise and my dash lights came on and my car filled with white smoke I had to pull over and there was oil all over the back of my car, the dealer never told me exactly was was wrong (after it was fixed) with it besides it happened near the engine block, there have been reports of this engine breaking (Hyundai Theta II 2.4L) due to faulty connecting rod bearing in the engine that may starve themselves of oil (there is actually a pending lawsuit for oil consumption) I believe this is what caused my engine to go. They gave me a different engine with 16,000 miles less (it has yet to break) At the dealership (where I bought it from)it took about a month and half to get it back it was “inspected” by my extended warranty and Hyundai mechanics, I was left without a loaner for two weeks and paid 106$ out of my pocket for a faulty engine, the dealership was kind enough to cover a big portion of it.

This has cost her 2 engines, oil change, and a engine switch.

2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON Bought it used, 1 prior owner ~50K, very clean. Since is VERY well maintained (incl. oil changes). Periodic engine light off & on for no reason. NO other probs, no oil leaks EVER. All recalls done. Dealership checked 11/2021 when doing recall, didn't document, it's "a short in wiring", "expensive to fix" & blamed "not tightening gas cap"?! THEN...On freeway with no warning light, a loud "bang" noise heard, vehicle began shaking. Initially felt like flat tire, barely able to control, lost power but able to steer off highway, engine died. VERY, VERY dangerous situation in heavy traffic. During tow to dealership, found # to national recall center who assigned a case number & was told "it's being escalated nationally..a corporate case worker (CW) will call in 3-5 days". Told "tell dealership to give loaner car". No loaners b/c LONG waiting list. Corporate requested multiple exams & photos from dealership in search of "engine sludge" (shift blame technique "poor maintenance") none was found. Engine pictures pristine (per dealership) "like a new engine". Corporate even requested 1st owner records!? Diagnosis:"catastrophic engine failure" due to bearing failure, estimate ~$7K+ for new engine. Corporate offer: 80% of engine replacement cost w/parts warranty (1 yr/12K), no loaner car unless delay due to backorder. Owner gets to counter offer or discuss w/ CW whose role (apparently)is to negotiate w/owner. 3 wks, never rec'd call from anyone. Hrs, days, wks spent chasing elusive CW. "Cust. Care" answers "hello, what's VIN & mileage?". Forced to repeat same story over & over, finally learned CW out on PTO, no one reassigned (someone slipped w/ "we are SOO busy here"). Finally reached CW. Call #1: nice guy. Call #2: lied, blamed dealership, mean, shaming, told to quit calling, wasting HIS time. Take it or leave it on 80/20 deal to replace w/another Theta II (aka we never fixed our prob) engine. NEVER BUY HYUNDAI! SOMEONE COULD'VE DIED.

Air conditioning system was just replaced for $2000. A week later, car to a dealership for a recall. Two and a half weeks later, while driving, engine lights came on, hard to accelerate, then rattling noise from engine. My son was on way back to college and on a rural road with not too much traffic. He pulled over and was not able to restart car. Had to be towed to nearest town (between home and his school, about 1 1/2 hours from each). The repair shop said total engine failure. They investigated and not able to find a rebuilt engine because engine has too many problems and a used engine would be $8000 to install and would likely have same defect. The car only has 96,000 miles. We bought used, from a Hyundai dealership, with a good CarFax report. It was a safety problem because he could have been devastating if he was on a busy highway. Unfortunately, it happened in a scarcely populated area and he was stranded while it was getting dark waiting for the tow truck. No warning lights until time of engine breakdown. Car had just been seen at a service station and car dealership just days before breakdown. We cannot take chance of investing that much money into a car that would have same problem. Had to have car sold for scrap.

The contact's daughter owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 68 MPH with the cruise control engaged, the vehicle lunged forward.

The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 99,450.

10/5/21Driving on interstate. Experienced sudden loss of power. Pulled to side of road and car completely stopped and shut down. No warning lights prior to incident. Vehicle routinely serviced and had full tank of gas. Mechanic stated catastrophic engine failure.

The contact owned a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. The contact owns a 60 MPH, the contact heard a loud pop noise and from the outside of the vehicle and the vehicle began to lose motive power and smoke coming from the front of the hood. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road and open the hood and saw fire coming from the engine. The contact back up and waited for police to come out to assist. The fire extinguished on its own. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer where it was later deemed a total loss. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

My vehicle has stalled (died) several times on me in the last several months. This happens when I am pulling into traffic or stopping at a light, etc. and is a serious problem because it could cause me to be hit. I took the car to my licensed mechanic and he said there was metal in the variable timing hub...he put the new part on it and then changed the oil and took it for a test drive. On return it was rechecked and found to be full of metal shavings again. He stated I would need new engine because mine was falling apart. He checked for recalls and found that this problem was a recall on the Santa Fe and the Sonata but not for my Tuscon...this does not make sense as these vehicles basically have the same or similar engines. Check engine light and oil light came on and stayed on. I was advised by my mechanic to contact you with this problem. I believe Tuscons should be added to the recall list before lives are lost. I believe my car should be repaired by the dealership..I would appreciate any help you can give me on this

HAD TO GET MY CAR TOWED ON THE CITY STREET. THE MECANIC HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE ENGINE ISSUE. SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO HYUNDAI- CAMPAIGN181 IN JANUARY WITH NO RESPONSE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MILES AND HOUR AND FOR NO REASON I LOST POWER , THE OIL LIGHT AND BATTERY LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD OFF THE HIGHWAY. IT TURNED OFF. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGIN AND BABY IT TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION LESS THAN A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. MY HUSBAND TOLD ME TO JUST BABY IT HOME AND HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK AT IT. IT STARTED MAKING A TICKING SOUND. I DID GET IT HOME AND MY HUSBAND SAID MY ENGINE WAS SHOT. NOW I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE FOR A CAR THAT WAS RUNNING JUST FINE AND THEN ALL THIS WERID STUFF HAPPENS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. NOW WE HAVE A DEAD CAR THAT WE STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR. AND WE CAN'T AFFORD A NEW ENGINE PLUS THE LABOR TO PUT IT IN. NOW WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A NEW CAR.

I HAVE A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON AWD WITH 86,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING IT RECENTLY COULD HEAR ENGINE RATTLE/KNOCKING NOISE. BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND AFTER TWO DAYS LOOKING AT IT, THEY SAID THE ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID THE DAMAGE IS IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ENGINE. THEY SAID SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER, MANUFACTURER WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY. $9000 TO REPLACE ENGINE. RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE IN THE 2012 KIA WITH THE MANUFACTURER PAYS TO HAVE REPLACED, BUT NOT FOR SAME ISSUE UNDER THE HYUNDAI BRAND??

WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO THE HIGHWAY, A CLICKING OR CLACKING NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE THEN SEEMED TO SUDDENLY LOOSE POWER THEN STALL. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND INTO A PARKING LOT. WITH THE VEHICLE PARKED, FOUND OIL POURING FROM UNDER THE ENGINE AND ALSO SAW A LONG TRAIL OF OIL LEADING FROM THE HIGHWAY TO THE VEHICLE. ALSO FOUND METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND DEBRIS FROM THE BROKEN ENGINE BLOCK CAUGHT IN THE PLASTIC SHROUD UNDER THE ENGINE.

THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING NOISE AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. IT WAS RUNNING.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL ON NOV. 27TH ON THE VEHICLE. I MADE AN APPT WITH A HYUDAI DEALER FOR SERVICE. ON DEC. 2 I WAS DRIVING TO THE DEALERSHIP ON A CITY ROAD, AFTER ACCELERATING FROM A STOPLIGHT STOP, THE ENGINE BLEW. LUCKILY WE WERE ALL AT A LOW SPEED AS THE LIGHT HAD JUST GONE GREEN. DEALERSHIP SAYS IT THREW A ROD THROUGH BLOCK AND SENT ME A PICTURE. THIS CAR HAS THE THETA II ENGINE. MY MODEL AND YEAR HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN THE RECALLS NOR LAWSUITS FOR THE ISSUE THE ENGINE IS HAVING IN OTHER MODELS, BUT THIS ENGINE HAD ONLY 80K, HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED, AND I CANT IMAGINE WHAT ELSE WOULD CAUSE SUCH A THING OTHER THAN A MANUFACTURING DEFECT LIKE THE ONE I AM READING ABOUT WITH THE DEBRIS.

ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR WAS AT HYUNDAI GETTING RECALLS DONE ONLY WEEKS BEFORE SEIZING.

DRIVING MY 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON IN JERSEY CITY, NJ, ENGINE START MAKING A NOISE, I STOPPED, IT WAS NO ANY LIGHT ON ON MY DASH. SHOT OFF MY CAR, THE STARS AGAIN, NOISE WAS STILL ON.... TAKE A CAR TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, LEFT THERE FOR COUPLE DAYS, THEN RESILT IS COMING? CAR NEEDS A FULL ENGINE . I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR WITH OIL CHANGES AND THE CAR HAS 56700 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURE OF THE THETA II 2.4 LITER ENGINES, WHICH MY CAR HAS, YET NO RECALL ISSUES. WILL BE AROUND $6000 DOLLARS, HYUNDAI DEALER TELLS ME, MY CAR WILL NOT COVER BY WARRANTY, BECAUSE I'M NOT A FIRST OWNER I'AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE THAT POSES A RISK TO LIFE. AND HYUNDAI MANUFACTURERS SHOULD TAKE A FULL RESPONSIBILITIES OF THEIR ENGINE FAILURES ON TUCSON VEHICLES.

WAS DRIVING MY 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHEN IT SUDDENLY DIED AT A STOPLIGHT. IT WOULDN'T RESTART. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY TO RESTART IT NOTHING HAPPENED, NO CLICKING, IT DIDN'T TURN OVER AT ALL. CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD THEM TOW IT TO OUR LOCAL FIRESTONE. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC ON IT AND THE ONLY THING THEY COULD SEE WAS THAT THE STARTER WASN'T WORKING. THEY REPLACED THE STARTER AND AFTER STRUGGLING TO GET IT TO START EVEN WITH THE NEW STARTER IT CLANGED AND BANGED AND THEN DIED AGAIN ONCE THEY WERE ABLE TO GET IT STARTED. I CHECKED ONLINE AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE AND THAT THE DAMAGE WAS NOT RELATED TO THE RECALL. I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO WHEN IT HAD APPROX. 57K MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS APPROX. 80K MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED. I CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY. BEFORE THIS THERE WERE NO ISSUES. HYUNDAI AND THE DEALER TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AND SAY THAT I AM RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE NEW ENGINE.

I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR HAD A SMALL METALLIC NOISE THAT GOT WORSE, AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF AND DID NOT START AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ON THE RAMP WHEN I WAS ENTERING A HIGHWAY. I PULL THE CAR TO THE SHELTER AND CALLED FOR A TROW.

IN OCTOBER 2019 I TOOK MY CAR TO HYUNDAI TO HAVE THEM SERVICE FOR THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING RECALL. THEY REPLACED THE PART AND I WAS ON MY WAY. I SERVICED MY CAR REGULARLY, AND JUST TWO WEEKS AFTER MY LAST OIL CHANGE I WAS DRIVING 70MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND THEN COMPLETELY DIED. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET PULLED OVER WHERE I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT MADE A LOUD KNOCK AND THEN WOULDN'T START. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ENGINE HAD A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I ASKED IF IT COULD BE THAT THE FOLKS WHO CHANGED MY OIL MESSED SOMETHING UP, BUT HE SAID IT WAS UNLIKELY BECAUSE THERE WAS OIL IN THE ENGINE AND THAT IT WAS MORE LIKELY SOMETHING FAULTY IN THE MANUFACTURING OF THE CAR OR POTENTIALLY DUE TO THE RECALL SERVICE NOT BEING DONE PROPERLY. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE TONS OF OTHER 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I THEN SAW THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR SIMILAR ISSUES, HOWEVER THE 2012 MODELS WEREN'T INCLUDED IN THE LAWSUIT. THIS IS CLEARLY SOMETHING THAT HYUNDAI NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND INCLUDE THIS MODEL IN THE LAWSUIT, OR AT THE VERY EAST MAKE RIGHT AND FIX THESE ENGINES AT NO COST AND PAY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE AND EXPENSES INCURRED FOR RENTALS, TOWING, AND TIME AWAY FROM WORK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER EXPERIENCING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LIA HYUNDAI OF HARTFORD (20 JENNINGS RD, HARTFORD, CT 06120) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

ON 5/10/2020, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON, ENGINE SPUTTERED, WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY AND PULL OVER AND BY THAT TIME, CAR WAS SHAKING VERY HARD. TOWED TO MECHANIC, CAR REQUIRES ENGINE OVERHAUL. CAR THEN TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, CAR NEEDS A FULL ENGINE REBUILD. I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR WITH OIL CHANGES AND THE CAR HAS 100086 MILES. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS OF FAILURE OF THE THETA II 2.4 LITER ENGINES, WHICH MY CAR HAS, YET NO RECALL ISSUES. MECHANIC SAID PARTS ALONE WILL BE AROUND $6000 DOLLARS, IF YOU ADD LABOR IT'S PROBABLY MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ENGINE THAT POSES A RISK TO LIFE. A FEW MONTHS PRIOR, THIS CAR ALSO HAD A COMPLETE FAILURE (LOST ALL POWER) ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED HE PARKED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECKED THE OIL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OIL LEAKS. THE CONTACT DROVE TO HIS DESTINATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CIOCCA HYUNDAI OF WILLIAMSPORT LOCATED AT 202 LYCOMING MALL DR, MUNCY, PA 17756, (570) 567-2000, WHERE THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

MY ENGINE WAS FINE AND I'VE KEPT UP WITH ALL OF MY OIL CHANGES AND EVERYTHING. I WANT TO GO GET SOME RECALLS FIXED ON MY CAR AND AFTERWARDS NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE MY ENGINE IS TAPPING. A HYUNDAI OF SILSBEE TEXAS TELLS ME THAT I NEED TO GIVE THEM $300 AND THEY WILL DIAGNOSE IT AND THEN LET ME KNOW IF THE RECALLS AFFECTED MY ENGINE.WHEN I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THERE WAS NO PROBLEMS WITH MY ENGINE. I'M A SINGLE MOM AND I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GIVE HYUNDAI TO TRY TO DIAGNOSE MY VEHICLE. *TR

WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE MECHANIC TESTED THE CAR AND HEARD A TAPPING NOISE WHEN STEPPING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THERE WERE LARGE METAL SHARDS IN OIL PAN. THE SHARDS WERE NOT PRESENT IN THE OIL WHEN OIL WAS DRAINED OUT. THE METAL SHARDS WERE ONLY VISIBLE ONCE THE OIL PAN WAS REMOVED. THE MECHANIC COMPLETED ADDITIONAL INSPECTION TO ENSURE THERE WERE NO OTHER ISSUES. AFTER REMOVING THE OIL PUMP, HE FOUND ALL THE ROD BEARINGS HAD PLAY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I SPOKE TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR AND HE TOLD ME THAT A NUMBER OF THEIR CUSTOMERS WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT THE 2012 HYUNDAI ENGINE WAS NOT ON RECALL. BASED ON RESEARCH, WE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL 2.4 LITER ENGINES ON ALL PLATFORMS FOR KIA AND HYUNDAI. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO PURCHASE A NEW REDESIGNED ENGINE. DURING THIS CONVERSATION, WE WERE NOTIFIED THE NEW ENGINE HAS ENGINE ROD BEARINGS THAT ARE MORE STURDY. HYUNDAI CURRENTLY HAS A RECALL FOR THE OIL PAN AND ALSO HAS RECALLS FOR ENGINES IN OTHER CAR MODELS BUT NOT THIS MODEL. A NEW ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED FOR AN 7 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 80,000 MILES. AS A CAR PROFESSIONAL, I SUSPECT THIS IS DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH A DEFECTIVE ROD BEARINGS THAT WEAR PREMATURELY AND RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC ENGINE DAMAGE SO THE ENGINES SHOULD BE COVERED IN THE RECALL.

MY CAR HAS HAD A KNOCKING NOISE AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN MARCH 2019 THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS WAS DUE TO A RECENT RECALL THAT CAME OUT FOR THE OIL PAN IS LEAKING AND TOLD ME TO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAD A FIX FOR IT SO I WAITED BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. THEY PERFORMED THE RECALL IT DID NOT FIX THE KNOCKING NOISE I CALLED CORPORATE TO FILE A CLAIM THEY HAD ME RETURN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND RUN DIAGNOSTICS IN DETERMINING THE DIAGNOSTICS I AM IN NEED OF A NEW ENGINE HOWEVER THEY ONLY WANT TO PAY 2000 OF THE $3000 TO $6000 IT'S GOING TO COST TO REPLACE THE SHORT BLOCK ENGINE. THEY ALSO STATED THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CURRENT ENGINE NOR DO THEY KNOW WHY IT FAILED AND THEY ALSO DON'T KNOW WHY MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO TOLD ME IT WAS FINE TO CONTINUE DRIVING THE VEHICLE.

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ENGINE CUTS SHUTS OFF. I LET THE CAR ROLL TO THE FIRST OFF RAMP IN WHICH I COULD NOT START THE CAR AGAIN. STUCK IN MIDDLE LANE OF EXIT UNTIL I GOT HELP TO PUSH CAR TO SIDE OF THE ROAD.

DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE ENGINE QUIT HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. ENGINE LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AND ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART AND MADE A A LOT OF NOISE WHILE TRYING TO TURN OVER. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHO IS TRYING TO GET A NEW ENGINE AND ASSOCIATED PARTS WE ARE NOW 6 WEEKS INTO IT.

I WROTE A LETTER TO HYUNDAI, WHO THEY HAD SOMEONE CONTACT ME AND TOLD ME JUST TO WAIT THERE WILL BE A RECALL SOON. TWO MONTHS LATER I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE FOR AN OIL PAN LEAK RECALL #19V063000. THAT WAS TOO LATE! THE CAR IS SITTING IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I FEEL THAT HYUNDAI IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS CAR. I JUST READ WHERE HYUNDAI/KIA HAD A CLASS ACTION SUIT ON THEM AND THEY SETTLED, BUT 2012 TUCSON WAS NOT LISTED ONLY 2014, 2015, 2018 &2019 TUCSON. HOW DO YOU START A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT?

MY VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A CLANKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING, I PULLED OVER TO CHECK WHAT THE NOISE WAS, WHEN I STOPPED THE VEHICLE I LOOKED UNDERNEATH AND SAW A FLUID COMING OUT, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME BUT THE CLANKING WAS STILL GOING THEN AS I TRIED TO GO A LITTLE FASTER AROUND 30MPH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I PULLED INTO MY COMPLEX AND THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED, I WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND STARTED THE CAR UP AGAIN NO LIGHTS CAME ON BUT THERE WAS STILL CLANKING COMING FROM THE FRONT. NEXT MORNING I DROVE IT UP THE STREET TO MY MECHANIC THE CAR DID THE SAME THING BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE OIL LIGHT WAS FLICKERING, AND AS I PULLED INTO THE MECHANIC SHOP THE CAR DIED WHILE I WAS IN MID TURN. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A SMALL OIL LEAK BUT NEEDED TO OPEN THE ENGINE TO FIND OUT MORE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SO I TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER TO SEE IF THAT WAS THE CAUSE THEY TOLD ME IT WAS NOT, AS I DID RESEARCH I FOUND THAT HYUNDAI HAS TWO DIFFERENT CARS WITH THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE. HYUNDAI FINALLY CAME WITH A DIAGNOSTIC THAT IT WAS MY SPUN BEARING THAT WAS THE ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE, WHICH IS THE EXACT ISSUE AS THE TWO OTHER CARS THE SONATA AND SANTA FE FROM HYUNDAI WITH A RECALL. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO HYUNDAI MANUFACTURING TO INFORM THEM OF THE ISSUE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE HYUNDAI DEALER WHO DID THE DIAGNOSTIC DOES NOT HAVE TO REPORT THESE FINDINGS IF THEY DO NOT WANT TO. I HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS WITH MY TYPE OF VEHICLE ON THE INTERNET ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM ALONG WITH OTHER FORUMS ONLINE WITH THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE ON THE HYUNDAI TUCSON 2012.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE 95 IN PHILADELPHIA, PA (AT 55MPH) WHEN ENGINE STALLED. WAS ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER, AND HAD CAR TOWED TO MECHANIC. MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED (DUE TO NO OIL GETTING TO THE BLOCK), AND THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW MOTOR. CONTACTED HYUNDAI USA, AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING ABOUT IT. BASED ON THE REVIEWS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE, YET THEY ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE CONTACT CALLED JIM BURKE AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE CENTER AT 205-291-1119 (LOCATED AT 445 13TH ST N, BIRMINGHAM, AL 35203) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR (2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON) WAS EFFECTED BY RECALL 181, ANNOUNCED IN APRIL OF 2019. MY ENGINE SEIZED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 80 MPH, LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO PULL ON TO THE SHOULDER SAFELY. HAD IT BEEN A MILE OR TWO DOWN THE ROAD THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN A TUNNEL AND THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT AS THERE IS NO SHOULDER. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL GARAGE WHERE THEY TESTED VARIOUS THINGS INCLUDING STARTER, ALTERNATOR, BATTERY ETC AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN AFTER RUNNING DIAGNOSTIC IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE IS SEIZED. NOW I AM IN A WAITING GAME TO SEE IF HYUNDAI WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE THE ENGINE.

I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ENGINE IN MY VEHICLE, NOW HYUNDAI IS PLACING A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE FOR ENGINE OIL LEAK! MY VEHICLE STALLED AND ENGINE DIED WHEN MY ENGINE WENT SO I BELIEVE THIS RECALL HAD A FACTOR ON MY ENGINE DYING. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY, HEAVY TRAFFIC WHEN THE ENGINE STALL, THEN PUTTERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD & QUIT. AFTERWARDS THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC THAT DIAGNOSED VEHICLE AS ENGINE FAILURE - WHICH RESULTED IN FULL ENGINE REPLACEMENT. I FEEL THAT MY ENGINE SHOULD BE FULLY COVERED AND AM REQUESTING A REFUND FOR REPLACEMENT OF MY ENGINE. I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT BUT THEY REPORTED THAT "THERE IS NO RECALLS" FOR ENGINE OR ANY RELATED "RECALLS" SIMILAR TO THE MALFUNCTION OF MY ENGINE.........REALLY? THE HYUNDAI SONATA HAS THE SAME ENGINE IN IT 2011 AND IT HAS A FULL RECALL ON THAT ENGINE. I NEED A CLEAR EXPLANATION PLEASE. I WILL REVIEW MY SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS AND CAN PROVIDE A CLEAR & PRECISE DATE OF INCIDENT. DATE BELOW IS ONLY A GUESS.

HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREET, PULLED OVER. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON DASHBOARD TO INDICATE ANY KIND OF PROBLEM. CONTACT MY HUSBAND WHO INFORMED ME NOT TO MOVE THE CAR, AND TO HAVE IT TOWED TO OUR HOME HAS NOT MOVED SINCE TOWING. OIL CHANGE WAS DONE 3 MONTHS PRIOR. A FAMILY FRIEND INFORMED ME ABOUT A RECALL ON HYUNDAI VEHICLES,I WAS NOT AWARE OF ANY RE-CALL NOR WAS I CONTACTED BY HYUNDAI. I CALL TO INQUIRE THE WEEK OF 08/26 - 08/30, PROVIDED MY INFO AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL WAS LISTED FOR MY VEHICLE UNDER THE VIN#, ABOUT A WEEK LATER AFTER MY CALL, I GOT A NOTICE IN THE MAIL 09/09/19 FOR RE-CALL CAMPAIGN 181 - 19V063 SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE GOT A CASE#. TOWED MY VEHICLE TO DEALER SHIP 09/16/2019 WAS ADVISED MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE.

SINCE THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS CLOSED B/C OF THE HOLIDAY I HAD IT TOWED TO MR. TIRE. THEY AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR THEN THE STARTER, BUT THEN DECIDED IT WAS AN ENGINE ISSUE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS AN ENGINE FAILURE AND IT WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER IT TOOK A FEW WEEKS TO EVEN GET THAT DETERMINATION. THEN I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND IT WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF 3 MONTHS. AFTER WEIGHING OPTIONS I DECIDED TO SADLY TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2019 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE CAR (NHTSA RECALL #: 19VX-063; HYUNDAI RECALL #: 181) FOR OIL LEAK THAT COULD LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE, STALLED ENGINE, RISK OR CRASH OR FIRE. I AM VERY UPSET THAT I AM JUST RECEIVING THIS RECALL NOW AND THE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON A VERY BUSY ROAD AT THE TIME OF THE BREAK DOWN BUT IT COULD HAVE VERY WELL PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

HIGH SPEED ENGINE STALL TRAVELLING AT 90MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. A PISTON HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE SIDE OF THE ENGINE. CAR REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THE 1ST NOVEMBER 2016, THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING HOME IN MY 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON WHEN OUT OF NOWHERE MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE AN ALMOST BOILING SOUND AND BEGAN TO STALL AND SMELL OF SMOKE. I PULLED OVER AND A SAFETY TRUCK PULLED OVER BEHIND ME AND ASKED IF I NEEDED ASSISTANCE. I EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED AND HE OFFERED TO TAKE A LOOK UNDER THE HOOD. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I COULDN'T DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS A FIRE RISK. HE SAID THAT IT LOOKS LIKE OIL IS LEAKING ONTO MY ENGINE SOMEHOW BUT HE COULDN'T TELL HOW. IT WAS LEAKING INTO MY ENGINE AND YOU CAN SEE IT LEAKING EVERYWHERE, SOME EVEN SPILLED OUT ONTO MY TIRE. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL ON MY CAR AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE ANY NOTICE OF ANY ISSUES UNTIL THE DAY AFTER IT ALMOST CAUGHT ON FIRE AND I HAD IT TOWED. I CALLED HYUNDAI BUT THEY SAID THEY DON'T HAVE A REMEDY FOR THIS YET. MY CAR HAS BEEN AT THE SHOP WAITING FOR A REMEDY TO THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO NEW HOLLAND FORD (508 W. MAIN ST, NEW HOLLAND, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THE VEHICLE DEVELOPED A RATTLING NOISE FROM THE LOWER HALF OF THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WITH MY FAMILY. I MANAGED TO GET HOME AND THEN QUICKLY TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC; WHO INFORMED ME IT SOUNDED LIKE A SPUN BEARING. HE STATED HE WOULD NOT KNOW FOR SURE UNTIL HE TOOK APART THE MOTOR. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. I CALLED MY TWO LOCAL DEALERS WHO INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALSO NOT PART OF THE THETA II ENGINE RECALL CAMPAIGN. SINCE THE CAR WAS NOT BUILT IN THE ALABAMA PLANT; IT ALSO DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY GIVEN TO VEHICLES BUILT HERE WITH THAT ENGINE. I WAS QUOTED AN ESTIMATED $10,000 BY THE DEALER IN REGARDS TO PUTTING IN A REMANUFACTURED ENGINE ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER RECEIVING THESE RESPONSES I NOTIFIED HYUNDAI'S WARRANTY DISPUTE RESOLUTION. THEY TOO INFORMED ME THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY INFORMED THEY NEEDED TO TAKE APART THE ENGINE TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. HOWEVER, THE GAMBLE WAS THAT I WOULD MOST LIKELY HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR OF THIS. I WAS WITHOUT TRANSPORTATION AND GAVE UP RESOLVING THIS THROUGH HYUNDAI. MY MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO FIND ME A USED ENGINE WITH LOW MILES (70K) TO PUT IN MY VEHICLE. THE TOTAL COST FOR THE ENGINE WAS SHY OF $5,000 WHICH WASN'T TOO FAR FROM WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HYUNDAI OF KENNESAW (2878 BARRETT LAKES BLVD, KENNESAW, GA 30144, (678) 809-6990) INDICATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALL REPAIRS NEEDED BEFORE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A FACILITY. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CHECK WITH THE MANUFACTURER FOR A RECALL CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE THE TOOLS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT ALSO HEARD A TICKING NOISE, WHICH COULD INDICATE THAT A ROD MAY HAVE FRACTURED AND THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO PEACOCK HYUNDAI BRUNSWICK (5400 ALTAMA AVE #1, BRUNSWICK, GA 31525, (912) 304-0461) FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

DAUGHTER DRIVING DOWN ROAD. VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN AND WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. VEHICLE DIED IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE SHOP BELIEVES IT IS THE ENGINE. OIL LEVEL WAS GOOD AND HAD BEEN CHANGED. APPEARS TO BE EXACTLY WHAT OTHERS ARE REPORTING.

THIS VEHICLE IS IN RECALL181. I HAVE CALLED HYUNDAI AND THEY WILL NOT FIX MY VEHICLE UNTIL THE HAVE THE PARTS TO DO... I RELY ON THIS VEHICLE TO GET ME TO DR APPOINTMENTS. I AM DISABLE VETERAN. I HAVE CHANGED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. WHY CANNT GET MY VEHICLE FIX BEFOE ONE DAY IT CATCH ON FIRE.

ENGINE WENT OFF-TIME AND LOST ALL COMPRESSION IN EACH CYLINDER. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 3/8/19, CAR RAN OK THROUGH 3/11/19, THEN HAD POWER ISSUES. IT WOULD NOT START ON 3/12/19 AND HAS NOT BEEN RUN SINCE. BOTH A PRIVATE MECHANIC AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THE TIMING ISSUE AND THE LOSS OF COMPRESSION. THE CAR HAS 83K MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RANCHO GRANDE MOTORS (1404 AUTO PARK WAY, SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA 93405, (805) 543-4745) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

I WAS DRIVING MY HYUNDAI SMALL SUV LEAVING THE GYM AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO NOT WANT TO PULL. I THEN STARTED TO MAKE A CLICK SOUND THEN DIED. ITS BEEN TO 2 SHOPS THE FIRST ONE LAUGHED AT ME. TELLING ME A ENGINE WOULD BE 4 TO 6 THOUSAND AND HE WOULD NOT WORK ON IT. THE SECOND ONE ASKED HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL BECAUSE OF HOW IT STOP WORKING AND DUE TO THE FACT THE WEB IS FULL OF STORIES OF THEM BREAKING DOWN. THE MILEAGE IS 101000

THE THETA II ENGINE IS FULL OF METAL SHAVINGS. THERE ARE ACCELERATION PROBLEMS AND THERE IS A LOUD SPUTTERING RATTLE NOISE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON READING A CODE P0014, EXHAUST (B) CAMSHAFT POSITION TIMING OVER-ADVANCED (BANK 1). THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVEN UNTIL JANUARY 28 WHEN TAKEN TO CAR CARE CLINIC IN BAKERSFIELD, CA. WHEN WE COULD AFFORD TO TAKE IT IN. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE SOLENOIDS, WHICH WERE BOTH GOOD. ONE WAS REMOVED, WHICH REVEALED METAL SHAVINGS CLOGGING THE SOLENOID. THE MILEAGE IS 67,444. I WAS DRIVING ON THE I5 WHEN THE ENGINE FIRST STARTED MAKING THE NOISE. THE NEXT DAY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND ACCELERATION WAS AFFECTED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN I SUDDENLY LOST POWER TO MY STEERING AND ACCELERATOR. THE CAR HAD QUIT RUNNING BUT WAS STILL RECEIVING POWER FROM THE BATTERY. IT WAS A SEVERELY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET COMPLETELY OFF OF THE FREEWAY ONTO THE SHOULDER BEFORE MY VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING. WSDOT AND WASHINGTON STATE PATROL ASSISTED GETTING ME OFF OF THE FREEWAY TO A SAFE LOCATION. I HAD IT TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. THEY DIAGNOSED CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE AND THAT THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. IT IS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH A 2.4L ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY, AT 75,000 THE TRANSMISSION FAILED IN THIS VEHICLE, AND WAS REPLACED AT THAT TIME. THIS WAS COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AT THE TIME.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A FIVE HOUR TRIP, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BECAME VERY NOISY. FOLLOWING EVALUATION BY THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE HAS A FAILED ROD BEARING. THE ENGINE WAS NOT TORN DOWN FOR A DETAILED ANALYSIS TO MAKE THIS DETERMINATION. THE ONLY AVENUE OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WAS TO INSTALL A JUNK YARD ENGINE AS PARTS AND ENGINE COMPONENTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER.

ENGINE FAILED IN OCT.2018 IN BIG BEAR, CALIFORNIA. AFTER DRIVING FOR SEVERAL HOURS UP THE MOUNTAIN, A LOUD RATTLING SOUND OCCURRED DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE CITY. INDEPENDENT LOCAL MECHANIC DETERMINED IT WAS THE PISTONS NOT WORKING PROPERLY CAUSING COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE. MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE DRIVEN MUCH FURTHER, IT WOULD NOT HAVE MADE IT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN, AND I WAS LUCKY IT DIDN'T FAIL ON THE MOUNTAIN. SINCE ENGINE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD TO TOW IT DOWN THE MOUNTAIN TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP IN LOMA LINDA, CA. AT DEALERSHIP, DETERMINED AND CONFIRMED ENGINE FAILED AND UNDER WARRANTY. NO PARTS AVAILABLE (PERHAPS DUE TO OTHER MODEL RECALL?). GIVEN SMALLER DEALER LOANER VEHICLE - INSUFFICIENT FOR MY NEEDS. IT IS NOW JANUARY 2019 AND NO PART POTENTIALLY AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE FEBRUARY. (IS THIS THE SAME ENGINE AS THE SANTE FE AND SONATA RECALL?) DEALERSHIP REFERRED TO HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE CENTER IN DECEMBER. CASE FILED. CASE MANAGER CONTACTED MID-DECEMBER WITH LITTLE INFORMATION AND OFFER OF MONETARY COMPENSATION FOR TIME W/O VEHICLE. NO OTHER CONTACT FROM CASE MANAGER FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE CENTER INDICATES THERE IS NO ONE ELSE OTHER THAN NON-RESPONSIVE CASE MANAGER THAT I CAN CONTACT. IF THERE ARE NO REPLACEMENT ENGINES AVAILABLE - THIS MUST BE A PART OF A LARGER PROBLEM. I WANT MY 2012 TUCSON REPAIRED OR REPLACED. AND, I BELIEVE THE 2012 TUCSON SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE HYUNDAI ENGINE RECALL ISSUE.

PURCHASED CAR USED ON 10/24/18. "CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE" OCCURRED 53 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE. ENTERING HIGHWAY, ACCELERATED ABOVE 45MPH, HAD TROUBLE CHANGING SHIFTS (AUTOMATIC), "SPUTTERING" SOUND FROM THE ENGINE AND COULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE, ENGINE CUT OFF SUDDENLY, ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. WAS ABLE TO COAST SAFELY TO THE SHOULDER. WAS NOT ABLE TO TURN ENGINE BACK ON. TOOK TO AUTO SHOP - WAS FIRST TOLD IT WAS A BAD STARTER, STARTER WAS REPLACED BUT STILL NOT FIXED. NEXT DIAGNOSIS: IT WAS A BAD BATTERY, BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT STILL NOT FIXED. NEXT DIAGNOSIS: BAD WIRING FROM BATTERY TO STARTER BUT STILL NOT FIXED. MORE INVESTIGATING BY AUTO SHOP AND REPORTED THAT TIMING CHAIN WAS PRESUMED BROKEN AND CAUSED ENGINE TO "LOCK UP". "ENGINE REBUILD" NOT RECOMMENDED, BUT 2.4L ENGINES ARE NO LONGER MANUFACTURED, THE ONLY OPTION IS TO GET A USED ONE. MY MILEAGE WAS 86,722 AT TIME OF INCIDENT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST, 2018 AS A USED UNIT. STARTING THE NEXT MONTH I WOULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND DOING THE SAME SPEED WITH NO ACCELERATION ON MY PART AND THE MOTOR WOULD REV UP BY ITSELF TO 6000-8000 RPM AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT GAIN ANY SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED INTERMITTENTLY DESCRIBED TO MY MECHANIC WHEN I TOOK IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND HE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. THANKSGIVING DAY TRAVELING ABOUT 95 MILES TO MY BROTHER'S HOUSE AND DID THE REVVING 3X'S. SINCE THANKSGIVING THE SAME PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 4 MORE TIMES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND MAINTAINING THE SAME SPEED. THE SPEEDS HAVE BEEN BETWEEN 40 TO 65 MPH, SO THERE ISN'T ONE SET SPEED THAT IT HAPPENS. SINCE IT DOESN'T GAIN/LOSE SPEED IT HASN'T BEEN A PROBLEM YET.

DRIVING ON THE ON RAMP OF INTERSTATE AND IT CUT OFF. ALL OF THE DASH LIGHTS FLASHED ONCE THEN IT CUT OFF. I WAS TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS THAT THE ENGINE FROZE. CALL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE 2.4L ENGINE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED ANYMORE. IT IS SITTING AT AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP WAITING ON AN ENGINE FROM A WRECKED TUCSON COSTING ME $6,500 - 7,000 TO PUT IN. THE CAR HAS APPROX. 159,000 MILES ALSO HAD TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION AROUND 103,000 MILES

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY I LOST POWER IN MY CAR WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER AND HAD NO POWER TO THE CAR WOULDN'T START, CALLED TRIPLE A AND TOWED TO THEIR NEAREST FACILITY THEY DIAGNOSED A SEIZED ENGINE AND BAD STARTER, BECAUSE IF HYUNDAI WARRANTY HAD IT TOWED TO A HYUNDAI DEALER, THIS WAS AT THE END OF JULY 2018, THEY AGREED THE ENGINE SEIZED AND BAD STARTER, THEY APPROVED IT AS UNDER WARRANTY. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE AN ENGINE AS THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER WORLDWIDE.

WHILE ON A TRIP TO ARIZONA DRIVING ABOUT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY IN NEW MEXICO. THE ENGINE AND CAR JERKED REALLY HARD AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AT AROUND 77,500 MILES. IT ENDED UP BEING A SPUN CONNECTING ROD BEARING. HYUNDAI IS REPLACING THE ENGINES ON THE SANTA FE AND SONATA BUT NOT THE TUCSON. I WAS RUNNING SYNTHETIC OIL AND A MOBILE 1 FILTER AT THE TIME. AFTER GOING ONLINE IT SEEMS AS IF THEY DIDN'T CLEAN THE OIL PASSAGES IN THE CRANK SHAFT WHEN THEY ASSEMBLED THE ENGINE. THE TUCSON SHOULD BE PART OF THE ENGINE REPLACEMENT PROGRAM. 2.0 & 2.4 ENGINES HAVE THIS ISSUE.

JULY 2018, TRIED TO PASS A CAR AT ABOUT 40 MPH (SPEED LIMIT ON THE ROAD WAS 50 MPH) AND MY TUCSON WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. I GRADUALLY PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND IT STOPPED ACCELERATING AT ABOUT 50, BUT WAS MAKING THIS AWFUL WINDING NOISE LIKE IT WAS TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS BUT COULDN'T. AT THIS POINT I'M PLAYING CHICKEN WITH THE CAR I TRIED TO PASS, AND THERE'S ANOTHER CAR COMING TOWARDS ME. I FINALLY GO PAST THE CAR AND STARTED PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ALL OF MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE ENGINE IS STILL WINDING AND MAKING NOISES. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART. IT SPUTTERED AT 1ST, BUT DID START. I WENT HOME, BUT AFTER THAT THE ENGINE WAS MAKING AWFUL WINDING, TICKING, AND CLANKING NOISES. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER THAT SERVICES MY VEHICLE AND AFTER BEING THERE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEY SAID IT WAS THE ENGINE ROD BEARING AND I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. LUCKILY I HAVE A THIRD PARTY WARRANTY THAT IS COVERING IT, BUT AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THAT THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE FOR HYUNDAI TUCSON OWNERS AND THAT HYUNDAI HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR SONATAS.. APPARENTLY THE SONATAS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE TUCSON. AS OF TODAY, MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER AND HYUNDAI HAS PUSHED THE ETA OF MY MOTOR OUT TO NOVEMBER, BUT THIS IS THE 2ND DELAY AND I'M NOT SO SURE THAT IT WILL BE READY NEXT MONTH AFTER READING ALL OF THE STORIES OF OTHERS THAT HAVE HAD THEIR TUCSONS AT THE DEALERS SINCE APRIL AND MAY AND KEEP GETTING THEIR ETS'S FOR THEIR ENGINES PUSHED BACK.

STARTED MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND IT TOOK A LITTLE LONGER TO CRANK BEFORE STARTING. DROVE IT HALF A MILE AND KIND OF NOTICED DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE THEN STARTING UP A HILL AND JUST FORGET ABOUT IT. VERY VERY SLOW. AT THE TOP OF THE HILL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT POPPED ON AND AT THAT POINT I WAS ALREADY LOOKING FOR A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. DROVE AN ADDITIONAL 1/10TH OF A MILE TO PULL OVER (MOSTLY CRUISED SINCE IT WAS NOT WORKING RIGHT) AND TURNED THE CAR OFF IMMEDIATELY. CALLED TO GET IT TOWED AND TRIED TO TURN IT ON. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ENGINE WAS CLUNKING SO I JUST STOPPED TRYING. AT THIS POINT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THE TIMING CHAIN IS MESSED UP AND ENGINE FAILURE WHICH IS VERY VERY COMMON WITH THE TUCSON. HAD RIGHT ABOVE 67000 ON THE CAR.

DRIVING ALONG WITH ABOUT 77735 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. WHILE DRIVING TO ARIZONA BECAUSE MY MOTHER WAS IN SERIOUS CONDITION. (HAS PASSED AWAY AS OF THIS WRITING) THE ENGINE AND ENTIRE CAR SHOOK. THOUGHT I HAD HIT SOMETHING ON THE ROAD. LOOKED UNDERNEATH, NO DAMAGE AND THE CONNECTING ROD WAS KNOCKING. GOING 70 MPH MUST HAVE BROKE IT LOOSE AND SPUN THE BEARING. SPENT $850 TO RENT A U-HAUL TRAILER AND TRUCK TO TOW IT BACK FROM NEW MEXICO TO KANSAS. DROPPED THE OIL PAN AND METAL SHAVINGS EVERYWHERE IN THE PAN. I SEE THE SAME 2.4 LITER ENGINE IN OTHER KIA'S AND HYUNDAI'S ARE BEING REPLACED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY NOT THE TUCSON, I KNOW THERE AREN'T AS MANY OF THEM AS THE SANTA FE'S AND SONATA'S. BUT IT IS THE SAME EXACT ENGINE WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. I WAS RUNNING QUAKER STATE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL WITH A MOBIL ONE FILTER...OIL WAS FULL WITH ABOUT 5700 MILES ON IT. I NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE HAD AND ENGINE FAILURE AS I MAINTAIN MY VEHICLES WELL. I BOUGHT IT WITH 69,000 ON IT 10 MONTHS AGO AND STILL OWE $2500. I'M SURE I WILL NO LONGER BE A HYUNDAI CUSTOMER UNLESS SOMETHING GOOD COMES OUT OF THIS.....SURE IT WON'T! JUST WANTED A NICE CAR TO RETIRE WITH, SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE HONDA CR-V I HAD BEFORE THIS.

ON 05/30/18, WHEN ARRIVING ON CAMPUS GROUNDS AT MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING CLANKING NOISES, THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO DECELERATE. WHEN I PARKED IT, IT STALLED AND DIED IN THE SPOT. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND HAD IT TOWED TO THEM. AFTER 2 DAYS, THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED AND HYUNDAI WAS GOING TO PAY FOR IT. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME I HAD TO PAY $5/DAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE OF THEIR CHOOSING. SINCE THAT DAY, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION REGARDING MY VEHICLE AND I AM STILL IN THE RENTAL. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND WHEN I QUESTIONED THE THE WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT PROVIDE ME A COPY OF IT.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR HAVING JUST GOT OFF THE FREEWAY, THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED BRIEFLY AND THEN THE ENGINE WENT DEAD. CARS BEHIND ME HAD TO SERVE TO GET AROUND ME. THE CAR IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD AND UNDER WARRANTY. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER BEING REPAIRED DUE TO AN ENGINE PROBLEM.

ON JUNE 12TH THE TUCSON ENGINE STARTED SMOKING DESPITE BEING DRIVEN LESS THAN 2 MILES FROM THE HOUSE. THE CAR WAS SERVICED ON APRIL 24 TH AT HETITAGE HYUNDAI IN TOWSON MARYLAND WITH NO PROBLEMS REPORTED. I HAVE ALL SERVICE RECORDS GOING BACK TO WHEN THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW. I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I READ A STORY THAT SENATOR BEN NELSON OF FLORIDA HAS MADE AN INQUIRY ABOUT SIMILAR EVENTS WITH THIS MODEL SUV IN FLORIDA. I PLAN TO ALERT MY REPS IN CONGRESS AS WELL. *JS

CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE ON A 2012 TUCSON WITH ONLY 80K MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS REGULARLY SERVICED. HEARD A FAINT TICKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING, AND LATER THAT DAY, THE ENGINE BLEW. APPARENTLY THE THETA 2 ENGINE THE VEHICLE USES IS KNOWN FOR FAILURE, BUT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CLAIMED ONLY ABOUT 2% OF THESE CARS WERE AFFECTED, AND I WAS JUST "UNLUCKY". NO WARNING LIGHTS, NOTHING. WAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH HOUR AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, AND WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO UNIVERSAL HYUNDAI (12801 S ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL, ORLANDO, FL 32837, (321) 418-3733) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 70 MPH THE ENGINE SEIZED AND THREW A ROD, DESPITE FOLLOWING THE PROSCRIBED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE. THIS CAUSED THE ENTIRE ENGINE TO BLOW, SMOKE, AND LEAK OIL ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY TO US WHO WERE IN THE VEHICLE, BUT SURROUNDING VEHICLES AS WELL, AS WERE TRAVELLING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE ON CHRISTMAS DAY. WE WERE VERY LUCKY JUST TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY SHUT DOWN AND STOPPED MOVING. THIS IS THE SAME EXACT ENGINE THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BY HYUNDAI, JUST IN A DIFFERENT MODEL.

HYUNDAI TUCSON THETA-II ENGINE FAILURE. MY TUCSON EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ONSET OIL PROBLEMS OVERNIGHT. I PARKED THE CAR ON THURSDAY NIGHT IN MY DRIVEWAY, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. FRIDAY MORNING WHEN I TURNED IT ON THE OIL LIGHT WAS ON. I CONFIRMED I WAS NOT SCHEDULED FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR ANOTHER 2000 MILES BUT ADDED A QUART OF OIL TO BE SAFE AND THE LIGHT WENT OFF. SHORTLY AFTER AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK THE ENGINE STARTS TICKING AND LOSING POWER AND GETS WORSE THE FARTHER I DRIVE. I AND WAS 700 MILES PAST THE EXTENDED 100,000 BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. THE DEALER'S MECHANIC SAID THE RODS FAILED WHICH CAUSED ENGINE FAILURE. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE HYUNDA AND KIA ENGINE RECALL, HOWEVER THE TUCSON MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY OTHER THAN OFFERING TO SELL ME A USED ENGINE WITH 57,000 MILES ON IT FOR $6000.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY MY HUSBAND AND I STARTED TO HEAR A LOUD CLANKING NOISE UNDER OUR HOOD. WE BARELY MADE IT OFF THE NEXT EXIT, WITH VEHICLES HAVING TO QUICKLY GO AROUND US BECAUSE OUR SPEED WAS SLOWING DOWN AND THEN VEHICLE DIED, WE WERE STRANDED IN THE HEAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH OUR DOGS. AFTER SPEAKING WITH HYUNDAI CORPORATE THEY TOLD US TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. WE DID AND A CASE WAS OPENED WITH HYUNDAI. IT WAS DIAGNOSED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AS PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO NO FAULT OF OURS BUT THE WARRANTY DEPARTMENT DENIED OUR CLAIM BECAUSE WE ARE SECOND OWNERS. THE ENGINE IN OUR CAR HAS BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER MODELS BUT HYUNDAI IS TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT IT EXTENDS TO THE TUCSON. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO NOT RECALL AND INFORM ALL HYUNDAI OWNERS WITH THIS PARTICULAR ENGINE TO TAKE IT IN FOR REPAIR IMMEDIATELY! THE ENGINE WILL FAIL WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS AND FAST, USUALLY ON THE HIGHWAY. IT FAILS AT VERY LOW MILES WHEN YOU WOULD LEAST EXPECT AN ENGINE TO FAIL. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR THE OWNERS AND OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK ABNORMALLY. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND FLAMES EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, WHICH SPREAD THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CONTACTED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A SALVAGE YARD WHERE IT WAS DEEMED DESTROYED. NISSAN OF HAWTHORNE DEALER LOCATED AT 1060 GOFFLE RD, HAWTHORNE, NJ WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD START AN INVESTIGATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *BF CONSUMER STATED IT WAS EITHER A DEFECT OR POOR MAINTENANCE BECAUSE IT WAS A STRONG OIL ORDER. UPDATED 8/20/18*JB

SUDDEN LOSS OF ACCELERATION/POWER WHILE DRIVING CAR STRAIGHT THROUGH A PARKING LOT. THANK GOODNESS I HADN'T MADE IT TO THE HIGHWAY! ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON AND CAR CAME TO ROLLING STOP. TURNED CAR OFF AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON THERE WAS A LOUD RATTLE IN THE ENGINE WHILE ACCELERATING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC RIGHT AWAY AND WAS ADVISED THE ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACEMENT (THOUGH THEY DID NOT TAKE IT APART TO DETERMINE EXACT ISSUE). ISSUE SEEMS CONSISTENT WITH OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MAKE/MODEL AND IN LINE WITH THE ISSUES FROM THE RECENT ENGINE RECALLS ON SANTE FE AND SONATA MODELS. CAR ONLY HAS 82K MILES AND IS NOW COMPLETE JUNK. HYUNDAI WON'T HELP.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HEARD LOUD METAL ON METAL NOISES. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD METAL FRAGMENTS WERE LEFT IN MY ENGINE DURING MANUFACTURING. THE METAL LEAD TO MY ENGINE BLOWING AFTER 85,000 MILES. THE OIL PAN HAS METAL SHAVINGS IN IT. THE RODS WERE THROWN AND IT MESSED THE BEARINGS UP. DEALERSHIP AND CORPORATE TELL. E THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO.

NOTICING KNOCKING SOUND AFTER STARTING ENGINE, PARKED STATIONARY. DEALER DIAGNOSED ENGINE FAILURE. ENGINE HAS LOW MILES, ONLY 121,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO SHIFT TO A HIGHER GEAR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE EPS, OIL, AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE STARTED SKIPPING AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DANBURY HYUNDAI (102 FEDERAL RD, DANBURY, CT 06810 (203) 730-4700) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,092.

JUST HAD CAR SERVICES AT HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP TWO WEEKS AGO WITH OIL CHANGE AND RUST RECALL ALONG WITH MULTIPOINT INSPECTION. FRIDAY 6/10/2017 WAS DRIVING HOME TURNING LEFT IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND HEAR A LOUD PING PING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND I CAN NO LONGER ACCELERATE. CARS ARE HOOKING BEHIND ME AS I TURN ON MY HAZARDS AND AM ABLE TO FINALLY COAST TO THE SIDE STREET AND TURN OFF THE CAR. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED TWICE. TOOK THE CAR INTO THE DEALER. THEY BROKE DOWN THE ENGINE AND SAID THAT THEY ENGINE SEIZED UP AND THE BEARINGS HAD METAL SHAVING ALL OVER DOWN TO THE OIL PAN. THEY SAID THIS LOOKED TO BE CONSISTENT WITH WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING IN THE RECALLED 2.4 L ENGINES. THEY FILED A CLAIM WITH HYUNDAI SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER THE ARE DECLINING THE REPAIR REQUEST BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE 80,000 MILES. SO MUCH FOR HELPING YOUR CUSTOMER THAT WAS ALMOST KILLS BECAUSE OF ENGINE FAILURE

DRIVING VEHICLE WHEN ENGINE LOST POWER, ENGINE BEGAN TO MAKE PINGING NOISE UNDER THE HOOD, VIBRATIONS BEGAN AND THEN PROCEED WITH KNOCKING. ENGINE SEIZED UP.

LAST WEEK, WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN RURAL NEVADA,IN A PASSING ZONE, ON A SHALLOW UPHILL CURVE, ATTEMPTED TO PASS A TRASH TRUCK,ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 65 MPH, AND JUST AS WE MORE OR LESS ABEAM THE TRUCK, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY QUIT. WE HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM WAS ABLE TO COMPLETE PASS AND IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER TO SIDE. HAD THERE BEEN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THAT WAS JUDGED TO BE FAR ENOUGH DISTANCE TO SAFELY PASS, IT IS POSSIBLE THAT WITH THE ENGINE QUITTING, COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION. THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BOTH TESTED OK. THE OIL LEVEL WAS FULL. ALL FACTORY RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN COMPLIED WITH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO CARSON CITY( ABOUT 80 MILES). THE DEALER SAID THE ENGINE 'SEIZED', CAUSE UNKNOWN, WITHOUT A TEARDOWN,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A POPPING SOUND EMITTED FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND IT STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT COASTED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WHILE DRIVING --LOUD KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. WAS DIAGNOSED BY DEALER AS HAVING WORN ROD/CRANKSHAFT;METAL DEBRIS IN OIL PAN -- IF CONTINUING TO DRIVE, THEN WARNED TO CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE AND SHUTDOWN. THIS SAME PROBLEM RECEIVED A RECALL IN SONATAS, BUT NOW IS HAPPENING WITH THE TUCSONS.

ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGH WAY. SUDDEN POWER LOSS, JERKING, AND LOUD KNOCKING NOISES. LUCKILY WE MANAGED TO GET OFF OF THE HIGHWAY. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS FAINT CYCLIC NOISE BEFOREHAND, BUT NO ENGINE CHECK LIGHT OR OTHER WARNING. THE ENGINE HAS VERY LOW MILES (LESS THAN 40K MILES) AND WAS MAINTAINED PER RECOMMENDED SCHEDULE. SYMPTOMS ARE IDENTICAL TO THE THETA II ENGINE FAILURE BUT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN THE SONATA ENGINE RECALL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE GARDEN STATE PARKWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. I HEARD A BANG COME FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON AND SMOKE WAS COMING OUT FROM FRONT OF CAR. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER. FORTUNATELY THIS WAS EARLY SUNDAY MORNING WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. T COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. I GOT OUT OF CAR AND NOTICED A PUDDLE OF OIL UNDER THE CAR. I HAD THE CAR TOWED HOME. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED. THE CAR HAD REGULAR OIL CHANGES WITH SYNTHETIC OIL. 104K MILEAGE. THIS CAR USES THE 2.4 THETA ENGINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE FAILURE, I HAVE FOUND THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE USED IN THE SONATA AND KIA SPORTAGE THAT ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE FAILURES. *TR

TRAVELING STRAIGHT ON INTERSTATE, SPONTANEOUSLY LOST ALL POWER TO VEHICLE AFTER A LOUD METAL CRUNCHING SOUND. HARDLY WAS ABLE TO DRIFT OUT OF INTERSTATE TRAFFIC ON TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. I WAS UNABLE TO TURN IGNITION OVER, OIL AND ENGINE CAUTION LIGHTS WERE ON. NO VISIBLE ISSUES OR LEAKS FROM ENGINE. ONE OWNER VEHICLE, TRAVELED MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES, HAD REGULAR MAINTENANCE FROM DEALER SHIP WHERE PURCHASED FROM, AND ONLY HAD 70776 MILES ON A 2012 MODEL.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE I90 THROUGH SNOQUALMIE PASS IN WASHINGTON, MOVED TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE OVERTAKING LANE. AS I MOVED INTO THE LANE AND ACCELERATED, THE ENGINE DROPPED DOWN A GEAR AND A WHINING NOISE WAS HEARD. AT THIS POINT I HAD TOTAL LOSS OF POWER AND WAS TRAVELLING AT ~70MPH. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR WAS TOWED. THERE WAS MEDIUM TRAFFIC AT THE TIME HOWEVER I WAS ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL SO DIDN'T RAPIDLY LOSE SPEED. HYUNDAI CARPROS IN RENTON REPORTED THAT THE PISTON HAD FAILED AND HAD PUNCTURED THE ENGINE CASING.

I BOUGHT A NEW CAR. 3 1/2 MONTHS LATER , I WAS REAR-ENDED. I TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP TO GET TAILGATE AND PAN AND BUMPER REPAIRED. WHEN WE PICKED UP VEHICLE, STRONG TOXIC FUMES FROM REPAIR WERE SO STRONG THAT WE COULD NOT DRIVE CAR. INSTANT HEADACHE, UPPER RESPIRATORY AGGRAVATION, SORE THROAT, BURNING EYES. CAR HAS BEEN TO REPAIR SHOP NUMEROUS TIMES AND MONTHS LATER STILL CAUSES ILLNESS IN FAMILY. AT ONE TIME THAT I DROVE CAR I ALMOST LOST CONSCIOUSNESS. I HAVE INFORMED HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. I INFORMED HYUNDAI CORPORATION. PROBLEM PERSISTS CONSISTENTLY FOR 8-9 MONTHS AND AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO DEALERSHIP. THE DOG FOAMS AND VOMITS BEFORE CAR STARTS MOVING. *TR

BRAND NEW CAR- A FEW DAYS AFTER PURCHASING AND DRIVING THE CAR, NOTICED CAR WAS NOT DRIVING RIGHT. SEVERAL SYMPTOMS BECAME NOTICEABLE. CAR WOULD JERK WHEN ACCELERATING AND BRAKING. CARS PICK UP WAS DELAYED AND HAD A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE VIBRATION, WHILE IN IDLE AND WHILE DRIVING, TO THE POINT OF GETTING NAUSEOUS WHILE DRIVING IN THE CAR. TOOK CAR TO HYUNDAI SERVICE AND TOLD THEM OF SYMPTOMS AND MY CONCERNS OF SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE CAR. THE MECHANICS FELT THE PROBLEMS I EXPLAINED ABOVE AND SAID SOMETHING WAS WRONG, NOW HAD TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY. SEVERAL TESTS WERE DONE ON THE CAR BUT NOTHING SHOWED UP ON ELECTRICAL GRID. SERVICE HAD TO CALL A HIGHER TECH OUT IN CALIFORNIA TO SEE WHAT TO DO NEXT. CALIFORNIA TECH MADE THEM RUN SEVERAL TESTS, ALL THIS TOOK MORE THEN 2 WEEKS UNTIL THEY FINALLY FIGURED OUT THAT THE ENGINES THROTTLE ASSY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THEY SAID THAT THIS ALSO CAUSED THE SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION. THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE ASSY AND CLAIM THE CAR IS REPAIRED. NO LONGER TRUST CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE DEFECTS THAT WHERE FOUND AFTER THE ORIGINAL INSPECTIONS BY THE MANUFACTURE AND THE DEALERSHIP FAILED TO FIND THESE DEFECTS WITH THE CAR AND SOLD IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START, EVEN AFTER THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. SHE HAD TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS IN ORDER TO START THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER MADE THREE ATTEMPTS TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,304. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE WAS 1,000.
