My vehicle is exhibiting issues with power. My car has stop on the hwy and has clanking noise when it gets close to 4000rpm. It's slow to speed up and sometimes stays at 50mph no matter how long my foot is on the accelerator. I've taken it in to get looked and even had a tune up and it's the same issue. In reverse it's fine but going forward that's when you can feel and hear the problems. This is a safety hazard and I don't have $5000 for a new transmission. My mechanic says it's internal issue with the power train. It needs to be recalled!

2016 hyundai tuscon with 143k lost engine 3-4q of oil in less than 1,000 miles to the point engine almost seized. No sensors for check engine and check oil lights ever came on. This could've been a safety issue if not detected if the engine seized in operation with no warning. The manufacture refuses to assist in the repair and the engine will have to be replaced at owners expense
It started making load knocking noises and lost power while driving on the highway

Trying to put fire out with fire extinguisher ,but did not work...maybe 10 mins later ,fire department arrives and puts it out
Got this car at the dealership in july last year. A few weeks before this happened you would notice a hesitation from the car to move forward when you press the gas pedal whiles driving on the road. The engine began to make loud knocking noises one morning and broke down while driving on the street. Got it towed to a hyundai service shop and they are talking about making a "goodwill" repair which will end up costing $4800. I have read many complaints noted from the 2016 tucson owners who experienced the same issues with their cars. This is obviously a manufacturing defect. The vehicle has been recalled before for a tucson secondary hood latch recall campaign.

Hello, I bought a used 2016 hyundai tucson eco less then a month ago from autonation that had only 40,000 miles on it. Within 2 weeks of buying the vehicle, the check engine turned on for a p259f trouble code for a turbocharger position sensor that I had got from using autonation's vehicle app. Naturally , I called autonation to have my car fixed, but the engine light had gone off before I brought my in vehicle in for repairs. When I did bring my vehicle in to the dealership, they confirmed that there was a check engine light on from my turbo, but that it had gone off and that the car was functioning normally, and to go to a hyundai dealership for a special diagnostic if the issue consisted. On the same day of getting my car back, I started noticing engine performance issues, my acceleration would be affected by 1 to 2 seconds where the car would not go, and when it would finally notice the throttle it would jump kick the car. Also the worst of all, it also cut out at one point where it did not want to give any sort of throttle at all, I needed to have my foot all the way down on the pedal to just go 30 MPH. During that time I noticed that the engine would be revving high while no speed was being gained, and no check engine lights where going off either. Because of that, I was almost involved in an accident where I could not accelerate out of an intersection when making a turn. What makes me believe this is the turbo electrical problem, is that the way I got my car to accelerate normally is that I parked it and restarted it, after that it started accelerating normally, but at times the acceleration would still be affected.
I'm the original owner of a 2016 tucson. Here are all the symptoms and issues with this vehicle: dealer recommended replacing the catalytic converter dec 2019 and I had the part replaced. Had an oil change on 1-26-2020 and the next week on 2-2-2020 the engine was tapping, checked the oil and discovered no oil in the engine. The low oil indicator light never came on. The car continues to burn oil. Mechanics checked car again and no leaks was discovered. And still unable to determine why this car is burning oil. Mechanic is recommending a new engine. Also, the car will not accelerate accurately and hesitates at about 45 MPH. There is a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. The dealership says that does cause any problems but the part can be replaced. The drivers door sticks have to pull on the door handle 2-3 times before the door opens. Major engine issues,
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 hyundai tucson. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at 45 MPH, there was an abnormal odor coming from the engine. Without warning the engine ceased. The contact was able to safely guide the vehicle off of the roadway. The contact turned the vehicle off and was unable to restart the vehicle. Triple -a was contacted and towed the vehicle to (freehold hyundai 4065 u.s. 9, freehold township, nj 07728 (732) 625-1200) where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not subjected to any recalls. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
This issue recur after the first incident that made us go back and forth to the dealership 3yrs ago. Hyundai of seattle should have a full record of this issue. Recently then, our car shows similar issues. The car is slow to accelerate from stop to go. Does not pick up accelerations when you step on the gas. On inclined or climb, engine has a hard time and seems to shake a bit then steady itself after 2 mins as you step in the gas to keep it in motion
This evening me and my fianc were driving 45mph down hill on a straight road to get christmas gifts, and all of a sudden out of no where the engine just died/stalled (no warning/dashboard lights). Thank god we were able to coast into a gas station and get off the road safely. The car wouldn't even turn over, so my fianc checked the oil and it was low. The car doesn't leak oil and we do oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously. We carry extra oil in case an oil warning light appears so we added oil to correct fill level. To no luck the car still wouldn't turn over. As it is saturday night and tomorrow being sunday we have to wait till monday morning to get the car to a hyundai dealer to be assessed by them. Hopefully they will come to the conclusion that the car burns oil out of no where and that the cars oil warning/pressure light is malfunctioning/faulty. In finding that I am hoping the dealer will honor my warranty and replace my engine.
My car was making a low, rumbling noise when I accelerated. It started getting louder and as I pulled off the highway, the check engine light came on, my vehicle lost power and smoke started coming from the hood of my car. When I got out of my car and walked away from it, I could see a fire had started under the car around the engine. My car was quickly engulfed in flames as I waited for emergency services to respond. As a result, my vehicle was totaled and I lost all of my personal belongings in my car
The engine is burning oil, there are no leaks and no dashboard warning lights. On 12/5/19, mechanic found a dry dip stick and removed less than 1 quart oil from the engine and examined for leaks. Oil changes are in regular 5,000-6,000 intervals using synthetic 5w30 oil and this issue was not found at the last oil change on 4/11/19. Oil was checked on 12/8/19 and the oil below is already below full.
The vehicle is well maintained and the last oil change at 52,000 miles had no warning lights and the tech said there was no oil. It was just about 5,000 miles since last oil change. Search shows this is a far too common problem.
2016 hyundai tucson does not accelerate or reverse does not accelerate when in motion, does not reverse
Recently bought 2016 hyundai tucson limited and the car has 29,000 miles on it. When in traffic and remove my foot from the brake the car with shake as it is about to stall out and then finally kick in and start moving forward normally. I've tried to pull out into traffic and had the car stall for a second before going forward. I don't feel safe pulling out unless I have enough time for the other car to stop just in case the car does stall out. I was told by the deal that the good news is the car is supposed to act like this. Dealers seem to know about this issue but since the computer doesn't throw up a flag they don't do anything about it.
There is an acceleration recall on some of the 2016 tucson's my VIN does not show up on there but I'm having the exact problems that they're recalling the car for I go to the dealership and they say that my car is fine but it isn't. I've been stuck in an intersection several times I've had my car make this grinding sound when I apply the gas from a stop and my car is sitting there. Others that have driven with me have witness this happened but the dealership hasn't been able to recreate the problem. This happens from a stop example if I'm at a stoplight apply the brakes to go and the car makes a grinding sound or sometimes when I'm going around a corner after a stop it will hesitate and I'll be stuck in the intersection
My vehicle stalls to accelerate.when I hit the gas it will stall to move, it's dragging very slow. This is very scary when I'm driving and my SUV slows down when other cars are driving fast behind me.
When accelerating from an idle position, car struggles to shift gears automatically. When making a turn, usually left turn, vehicle stalls and struggles to accelerate making it very dangerous.
I was driving in on a street in a residential area at about 30 MPH, when the vehicle turned completely off. I restarted the car with no problem.on 9/10/19 I was driving on a street in a residential area and made left turn and car completely stopped after completing the turn.I was able to restart car with no problem.there were no turns involved in the first incident.
Something is wrong with breaks. It doesn't fully stopped the car when I press down on the pads. I have to press twice down for the car to stop. Driver windows power windows sometimes when I am trying to close the windows it actually goes down.
My vehicle stalls when I hit the gas. Has trouble switching gears.
Vehicle delay to accelerate. Rpms go up to 5000 before acceleration kicks in. Also lag time from stop to 20 miles per hour in stop-and-go traffic it would lunge forward. Also with accelerating on a hill it would roll backwards before going forward capturing gas. I have seen other reports on this vehicle with same issues. It is very unsafe. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership turbo was replaced I'm still waiting for a full report
The vehicle stalls while, from a stop, trying to merge into traffic. It seems to be a well known issue with this vehicle and the dealer told me just learn how to drive it. We have almost been hit several times due to this defect and my wife refuses to drive the tucson. Hyundai too knows of this issue and has had no recall for this issue. I understand there has also been law suits for the lemon law against this vehicle but, the deep pockets of hyundai's corporate lawyers always wins out. Do people have to become seriously injured or perhaps dead before a recall happens? The date below reflects the last time I was almost hit because the car started to move and then stopped.
