My Hyundai Tucson beginning at 65,000 miles Began consuming more oil than normal. There was a transfer of title through a family member with the vehicle and was not aware that in that case the cars 100,000 mile warranty is no longer valid. It is then reduced to half that or 60,000, one of the 2. I brought the fact up to the service rep at Hyundai that it was going through a lot of oil and they stated that it was normal with multiple cars that Hyundai produced. The oil was burning off and no detection of leak and no check engine light has ever came on. It never over heated. I then brought this up to Hyundai at about 92,000 miles and thats when I learned about the warranty being voided because of the transfer. The car at the time is running just fine but still burning oil and still nothing from the dealership about any issues because the check engine light never came on. Until I was going home one day and the car began to stutter and losing power . It was struggling to produce power and I finally pulled over to a safe spot. It did not wanna start after that. I had it towed to Hyundai service center and they later told me that my engine needed a fuel system flush. They did that and I drove it just fine for about a month. Then it did the same thing only this time the check engine light finally came on. The code was giving them a misfire of 2 cylinders and was not holding enough pressure. They then said my motor was gonna need to be replaced and that threw me off. I feel like that should have been detected much earlier but without any sign of overheating or engine alarms it just kept running up until that point of the motor no longer running. I feel that if I were to get some kind of check engine light earlier in then it is possibly that this could have been avoided. I feel like this issue remains and is well overlooked to many of their vehicles. I just need a new engine not looking for money or anything else, just a car that is reliable and safe.

The engine knocks norms oil fast after several oil changes and no visible leaks Not good
So my engine has a lawsuit with Hyundai because the type of engine that is in it is causing it to consume more oil. My cylinder one has completely gone out because of it consuming to much oil. It is a huge safety problem because it could have shut off while I was driving it. Hyundai dealership is trying their best to not to have to pay for it. My check engine light came on and said spark plugs and coils needed to be changed. We changed them and they were coated in oil which isn't supposed to happen. My light was still on after changing them and the code reader was saying cylinder 1 misfire. I take it to the dealership and they said cylinder one has gone out. I think they dismissed it because the coils and plus were clean but we just changed them and maybe drove 10 miles so they wouldn't have had a chance to get coated in oil. I hope I don't have to get a lawyer to get my car fixed under the lawsuit like it needs to be. I know a few other people having the same problem and theirs is getting covered under the same lawsuit.
On 4/8/2023 I began hearing a ticking noise coming from my engine while driving. I took my car into Sid Dillon Hyundai Dealership of Lincoln NE on 4/10 and picked it up on 4/11. They completed 2 recalls (valve cap replace and ABS kit replace) and an inspection on the engine. The recalls did not fix the issue. They determined that the cylinder 3 rod bearing has excessive clearance of .37 MM. They advised that the vehicle should not be driven as it could lock up at any time. They found that the engine needs a replacement. I was quoted $13,000 for a new engine replacement. They let me know that there has been extended warranted for this exact issue on the 2.0 and 2.4 engine. However, my vehicle has the 1.6 engine which was not included in the extended warranty although it has the same issue.
March 6, 2023 the check engine came on and I came out of pocket $900 for new Ignition coils.. A month later, the engine starts knocking and now they're saying that the engine is completely bad and would have to replace it. The engine burned alot of oil in that time. I was getting oil changes before the oil change mileage mark. I'm stuck at this moment because there is no recall for the engine for my vin.

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption. Have had this problem close to Two Years. Keep going back to the Dealer they have done multiple Oil cconsumption checks an engine Combustion cleaning was done. Was told that the car needs an engine replacement but manufacturer refuses to so.
Engine stalled while stopped at a traffic light on busy highway. Driver turned off engine and attempted to restart, but engine would not restart. Vehicle had to be towed from roadway. Oil level was checked and the dipstick was dry and crusted. Oil was added to engine and engine eventually restarted. However, there is now a severe knocking noise. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai dealership. Dealership advised engine needs replaced. Dealership advised Hyundai discontinued engine so there is not a new engine available. Hyundai advised there is not a remanufactered/rebuilt engine available. There was not ever a check engine or low engine oil level light illuminated prior to engine failure.

My vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas - also I am low on oil and I’m not due for an oil change, meaning there is an oil consumption issue with the engine. Something is wrong with the engine/oil.
The Check engine light never went on and I did not cause any harm to the car. I was simply driving and all of a sudden the engine sounds like the car will explode with no warning. 58,000 miles . The car was checked out by the dealer and they are recommending a completely new engine . They have no explanation for me.
Been having issues with the vehicle for about 10,000 miles, started misfiring replaced all plugs and 1 coil. Started misfiring again. Turns out a valve got burnt up drop into cylinder and cause a compression failure. I’m in the hole 16,000 dollars on a vehicle that is going to need a engine replacement on a engine that is over 5k
It's like the transmission has hesitation before it decides to go. I step on the gas and it doesn't go right away, it takes a couple seconds and then the rpms go up really high. There has been no accident but this has happened many times.
I was driving on the highway going 55 mph. My car started sputtering and decelerated to 30mph. The engine light was flashing. Cars behind me had to brake without warning.
Car stopped on highway. Car has 105000 miles and i have done required oil changes . Dealer states engine is no good
The car has been having numerous acceleration issues, it can take upwards of 30secs to actually start moving from a light or stop sign. It also seems to be shifting late and/or slipping. This had caused me to be stuck at a light in the middle of the road and almost hit by another car. Also, my engine completely failed within 5mins, I was driving and the check engine light came on, then the oil light, then the engine started smoking, and then the car died in the middle of the road. The engine completely seized in 5mins. I had all oil changes done and there was never an oil light on saying it was low. When the dealer checked the engine there was no oil, probably from the rod breaking out. There. Was some if the same issues with the same year that got recalled and fixed for free. I got quoted $16,000 from the dealer. That's more than I owe and what the car is worth. I'm stuck with no vehicle and don't know what to do.
After having a level 1 drivability test/inspection test done, code P0300, P1111, P301, P302 & P303 came up. Cylinder compression was tested and found cylinder 3 was at 30 PSI. The technician told me that this is a common issue with this make/model and I should take it to the dealer.
My vehicle is currently experiencing the Oil Consumption Defect that many others have complained about. My car stalled and eventually would only go 30 mph on hills. No low oil lights or indicators were observed before this happened. As well as in December of 2022, Hyundai had to replace my catalytic converter for $3000 which I believe now was the problem of the oil being consumed faster than it should be by the engine. I have been told repeatedly that my oil was almost gone even before an oil change was due. No leaks or oil was ever found outside of the vehicle. The dealership confirmed this issue of a defective rod bearing issue and submitted to Hyundai USA for a free engine under the warranty but are dragging their feet about it and keep requesting additional pictures etc. My safety was put at risk when due to no warning lights or anything, my car just stalled and stopped in the middle of the road. I also was told by an employee at the dealership that my vehicle barely passed Hyundai's bearing test and to "drive my vehicle until it blows up" and then they should be able to cover the engine. I was not willing to put my safety at risk on a highway 300 miles away from my home. So it has sat at the dealership for at least a month now. It was available upon request
It should be stated first that I do regular oil changes in my Hyundai Tucson and was 700 miles from my next oil change. I purchased this vehicle around 2/8/22 (last year). This past weekend, I was driving and when I came to a stop, my oil light came on and the engine shut off. I managed to get my car to an auto store and the dipstick had no oil on it. We added a quart and managed to get the car home. On the way home, my engine was making a knocking sound. My husband took it for an oil change, and the tech noted that there was only about 2 quarts of oil (and that was after I had just added a quart). They completed a full oil change. We immediately made an appointment with Hyundai to have my car looked at and did not drive it until we were driving it to the appointment. On my way to the appointment, my engine began making a very loud knocking sound and would not accelerate properly. Finally, as I was pulling into the Hyundai dealership, my engine completely seized up, the oil and check engine light came on, and the car turned off while I was in the main road. I managed to coast it into the Hyundai parking lot. My Tucson is now at the Hyundai dealership after they had to tow it from the front of their parking lot and I am waiting on hearing back from them what is wrong. I am being told it could take one month before they can tell me anything, so I am without transportation for that long.
Engine Failure at 73,000 miles with routine maintenance, under warranty (TXXM). Knocking sound from car, engine light started flashing and unable to accelerate on highway, putting myself and others on the road in danger. Immediately pulled off highway at next available exit and had the vehicle towed to dealer who is negligent in service inspection - stating not part or recent recall or under warranty. Dealer will not return calls or elaborate on service assessment other than "new engine needed." Escalated ticket to Hyundai national account.
two things....my back passenger side door just stopped opening...you cannot open from inside nor can you open from outside... won't open at all and now I notice the window 'sticks' I have to put it down and then it will go up slowly. 2nd this car burns through oil and I have seen other complaints regarding this from others online as well. I have to have an extra container of oil to use once every other week and now the muffler is smelling bad no oil can light ever when on but when I bought it used, about 3 weeks later the engine light came on and it started to knock. I went to a Jiffy Lube and they said "you have no oil" there are no spots at work or my driveway! This engine is a joke

My car randomly has check engine light go on and off. I check oil and it is low can not drive 3,000 miles without filling oil. It is so frequent that I check it every week. Dealership said they are known for engine issues best if I keep an eye on the oil. I love my car but this is crazy it has101,800 miles.
I have had my 2017 1.8L eco Hyundai Tucscon for 3 years now and recently it's been giving me signs of problems that are great concerns for safety, as well-known for this models; it only 62091 miles as of the day of this complaint. On Jan 15. 2023, I noticed that each time I start the car, it takes a little bit longer, then you hear a rattle sound and shaking of the engine block, then it start. Or the engine would suddenly slip, followed by a brief rattle sound while driving. I took it in for service to Manly Hyundai in Santa Rosa on Jan 27, 2023, but the mechanics there told me that they could not find where the problems are coming from, and that I would need to wait for an engine light to come on, as any diagnostic at this point maybe unnecessary and costly. Had I known that the 2017 Tucson had so many issues and recalls, or engine defects, specially the slipping or shaking on acceleration from idle, I would never put my money on a commuter like that. I AM STILL WORRIED FOR THE EUGINE NOT TO BLOW UP AS PER PREVIOUS INCIDENTS WITH THIS MODEL. Common issues: The18.0-liter eco 4-cylinder engines, which may have defective rod bearings. The bearings may wear prematurely. This can cause the engine to stall during operation. In extreme cases, a damaged connecting rod can puncture the engine block and cause the engine to leak oil onto hot components, leading to a fire. Please do something.
The car is consuming oil at an excessive rate. Oil needs to be added every 2000 miles. The car will start to run loud and struggle but no leaks can be found and the low oil light is not turning on to warn of low oil. This started about 8 months ago and now I have to frequently add oil every 2000 miles which should not be necessary. There is currently a class action lawsuit pending regarding this issue.
Constantly jerking, hesitating or stalling.
