Your 2016 Hyundai Tucson GDI engine is consuming oil much faster than normal, causing the oil level to drop dangerously low between changes. You've experienced stalling during acceleration, had to replace the turbocharger, and most recently the engine shook violently on the highway when you ran out of oil; the check engine light then came on and stayed on. The dealership suspects engine damage but won't cover repairs under warranty since there are no active recalls, leaving you responsible for all repair costs.

I already had a recall scheduled 4 days before this accident but 2 days before the engine failure I heard a ticking in the engine , didn’t think much of it because the engine was still running ( 93k miles on the car) so I was going to tell the dealer the problem when I took it for the recall fix appointment but on the way home my car instantly went from 70-30 in the middle of the highway I had the car towed to the Hyundai Dealer and they said rod had broke and said also something about the oil being dirty when I literally had the oil changed days before , but end result my 2nd owners warranty didn’t cover the vehicle even with rod failures being a recurring problem with my trim.

It shocks me the fatality rate with these vehicles isn't through the roof, I've taken my vehicle to the shop 4 times already and haven't had it 6 months yet, the complete loss of power when you accelerate is dangerous & I'm surprised accidents while pulling out into on coming traffic isn't extremely high, because the lack of power,pull, hesitation & at times nearly cutting off is gonna get someone hit by a semi and the only thing either of the hyundai service departments say is "it's just the double clutch 7 gear transmission and that's normal, well if the transmission skipping and causing studdering hesitation and little to no acceleration when taking off is normal then I don't know how hyundai is still in business, it's awful and it's dangerous.

About four months after we purchased our vehicle, it began rattling when we would slow down to park or make turns. The best way I can explain is like when a manual transition is about to shut off because its not going in to the correct gear. We took the vehicle to the dealership and they told us that because of the dual transmission, this was expected.

When the vehicle is stationary (example: I come to a stop at a stop sign or stop light) then try to move again, the car won't move and there is a lull when I give it gas. This is a dangerous problem with the dual clutch transmission. The engine "revs" but the car wouldn't move after coming to a stop.

First name:[xxx] last name: [xxx] email: [xxx] phone: [xxx] VIN number: [xxx] subject: product feedback message: my car is refusing to go into gear when it is at a speed other than stopped. I took it in for service and they had the vehicle for 3 days, but it never generated a code so they could not fix it. It is still a problem and I no longer feel it is safe to drive it.

While stopped with my foot on the break, I then put my foot on the accelerator, the tucson won't move and the engine revs high without forward progress. This is a slam-dunk safety issue, and I expect a recall will be the result. It took several attempts plus moving the car into park and back to drive before it moved.

Faulty dual clutch transmission causes the vehicle to hesitate without warning when the gas pedal is pushed. This happens at random times and with different degrees of severity. This has happened on many occasions and creates a major safety hazard as the acceleration may not be there when needed.
