While driving down the highway, the check engine light started to flash. Once the car was turned off and back on again, it shook violently. It was hard to keep it in the lane and I was worried it would cause an accident. It was driven off the highway while constantly shaking. Once it sat off for roughly 30 minutes, it would turn on, but wouldn't turn over and drive. It was towed to a dealership where it was diagnosed, though I was never given anything past a verbal "it stopped compressing". It turns on and over, but makes a grinding noise. It will die and turn off the engine after roughly 45 minutes. This had never happened before. *I've been told a few different things by people who hear about the problem, but I've never received a real diagnosis by the Hyundai dealership it is located at. It has always had a oil consumption problem, adding roughly one quart of oil every 800-1000 miles. It has had oil changes every 5,000 miles. It also had a hard time when cold-started accelerating, but would work fine once heated up. It is available for inspection upon request.

My ABS has been sticking and finally the pad broke off. my car made a squealing noise everytime I drove it. I had parked in my driveway and there was a piece of metal on the ground. I showed it to my son, he took the tire off and said it held my ABS Brake pad on to my Driver side rear. He is a master tech for Subaru. I just haven't had time to take it into Hyundai. It has stopped squealing, but my ABS brakes no longer work.

There is a problem with the dual clutch transmission on this 2017 Hyundai Tucson. There was a class action suit filed 2016 for transmission defects including the hesitation and shuddering issue and also grinding noises. I purchased this vehicle in 2020 with only 6600 (yes, hundred) miles not knowing of any problem or issues. 2023 in Tucson AZ when the weather started getting very warm end May, June I started noticing a bit of hesitation, sometimes like a grinding noise. This was not happening all of the time but from the reviews it happens when it gets warm. The shaking or shuddering as they call it and hesitation is very prominent and continuous now. When I had my car in for oil change in Tucson at the Hyundai dealer the service manager even drove it and said it was the dual clutch transmission. I asked about replacing the transmission then and he said that I did not have a warranty. That was another issue as I was told by Hyundai corporate before buying the vehicle that the 100,000 warranty would transfer to me. I found out in July it did not. I opened a case with Hyundai service who contacted Eastside Hyundai and I even got a call from the svc mngr who drove the vehicle. He said that Hyundai would not end up covering it all even if they said they would, they may have to have car for awhile and I would need a rental, and anything else negative about the situation. That manager never called back so caseworker called another dealer numerous times and said that they could check out my car in November. This vehicle is getting worse and possibly a danger. Hyndai take is November, take it or leave it and thats all they can do. This can cause long term damage to the engine and other parts. I need some help with this if possible before resulting in litigation. Are you able to advise on this issue and if you have even heard about. No accident has occured with this vehicle YET. I have approximately 21,000 mile on my vehicle now.

Several days ago, my daughter informed me that she heard a grinding noise from the engine while driving the car. I drove the car did not hear a grinding noise but noticed the car had little to no acceleration. Fluid levels were checked and found to be ok. The next day, my daughter told me the check engine light was illuminated and blinking. I checked fluid levels again and drove the car and noticed same engine acceleration issue as the day before. On May 23, scheduled car for service and diagnostic to determine the issue and service technician identified an engine "knock" during diagnostic and recommended I take the Hyundai Tucson to a local Hyundai dealer for service.
