ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JULY 2018 CAR BEGAN MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING ON AND BACKING UP. THE NOISE WENT AWAY WHEN I BEGAN TO DRIVE. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSIS THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM BEGAN GETTING WORSE, MENTIONED IT AT NEXT OIL CHANGE. NOW MIND YOU, I DRIVE A LOT!! CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND HAS 83K. BETWEEN JULY AND DECEMBER 2018 THE CAR RECEIVED MINIMUM OF 4 OIL CHANGES ALL DONE AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP WHO SAYS IT'S NORMAL EVEN WHEN I COMPLAINED OF SMELLING GAS. AFTER RETURNING TO VA FROM MI, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH ALL TURNED ON WHILE DRIVING, SPEEDOMETER JUMPED WHERE EVER IT WANTED IF IT WANTED TO MOVE AT ALL. TOOK TO NEAREST DEALERSHIP, DIAGNOSIS WAS BAD VACUUM PUMP. IT WAS REPLACED AND SAID ALL MY DRIVING ISSUES AND GAS SMELL WOULD STOP. NOPE....TOOK BACK IN, DIAGNOSIS IS FAULTY EXHAUST MANIFOLD. REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER IT STARTS TO ACT UP AGAIN LIKE IT DID THE FIRST TIME.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON SATURDAY MAY 4, 2019, MY SON WAS ON GUARD DUTY AT VMI AND HE LENT HIS CAR TO HIS CLOSE FRIEND AND ROOMMATE TO ATTEND A FAMILY EVENT IN ARLINGTON, VA. AFTER ABOUT 100 MILES ON THE ROAD WHILE [XXX] WAS DRIVING IT ON INTERSTATE 81 GOING NORTH, THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW SUDDENLY, AND THE ENGINE AND GAS LIGHT CAME ON THE DASHBOARD, WITH NO OTHER EARLIER WARNING. HE HAD TO SCAN THE AREA QUICKLY TO MAKE SURE OTHER DRIVERS WERE PAYING ATTENTION AS HE WAS QUICKLY DROPPING BELOW THE MINIMUM SPEED LIMIT. THIS SAME THING WAS HAPPENING TO MULTIPLE CAR OWNERS OF THIS MAKE/MODEL YEAR. THE CAR DOWNRIGHT STOP RUNNING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE, WITH NO WARNING. THIS PUT MY SON'S LONG-TIME FRIEND AND ROOM MATE AT RISK! EVERY SERVICE AND TOW STATION WITHIN 60 MILES OF HARRISONBURG WERE BUSY OR CLOSED. THIS SUDDEN STALL ISSUE WAS KNOWN ON 2/5/2019 AND WITH YOUR SYSTEMS KNOWING THE CURRENT OWNER, ADDRESS, AND MY VEHICLE #, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR NOT ALERTING ME! I HAVE INCURRED ADDITIONAL TOWING FEES BECAUSE I HAD MY SON'S FRIEND TOWED TO THE CLOSEST RESIDENTIAL AREA OFF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS A LOCAL SERVICE STATION. COME TO FIND OUT AFTER THEY DID A ONCE OVER THE CAR, THAT THERE WERE METAL SHAVINGS IN THE OIL AND THE TECH HAD TO HAND-CRANK THE ENGINE TO GET IT STARTED. IN OTHER WORDS, IT MET ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THIS ISSUE KNOWN BY HYUNDAI. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE REGULARLY SERVICED AT THE HYUNDAI DEALER SERVICE TWICE IN DECEMBER 2018, NOVEMBER 2018, AND MANY OTHER TIMES BEFORE THIS. NOTHING WAS EVER MENTIONED TO ME ABOUT THIS DEFICIENCY. I HAVE CALLED AND SENT EMAIL AND LETTERS ASKING HYUNDAI TO REPAIR THIS KNOWN MANUFACTURER DEFECT. EVERY PLACE NEAR THE TOW ADDRESS WAS CLOSED. I DROVE ABOVE THE SPEEDLIMIT AS IT WAS HOT AND HUMID AND THEY WERE NOT IN AIRCONDITIONING. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON I20/459 ENTRY RAMP IN BIRMINGHAM, AL. VEHICLE STOPPED AND CUT OFF COMPLETELY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BUSY INTERSTATE. ACCELERATION SLOWED UNTIL VEHICLE DIED AND ALL ERROR LIGHTS APPEARED AND FLASHED ON DASH WITH A "SERVICE NOW" ALERT. PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK, AND TURNED THE SWITCH TWICE BEFORE IT WOULD CRANK AGAIN. UPON STARTING- THE SAME "SERVICE NOW" LIGHT APPEARED AND CAR WAS ABLE TO DRIVE.

HYUNDAI RECALL. I AM A 65 YEARS OLD, I PURCHASED THIS CAR ON NOV 2018 AND AS I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE, THE FLAMES CAME THROUGH THE FLOOR PANEL AND THROUGH THE VENTS. MY ENTIRE AREA WHERE THE GAS & BRAKE PEDAL ARE BURNED UP, THE RADIO AREA AND CONSOLE AREA IS CHARRED BEYOND RECOGNITION. BY THE TIME THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED, THE ENTIRE CAR WAS IN FLAMES.

POWER TRAIN
THE VEHICLE HESITATES BEFORE ACCELATING AFTER THE CAR IS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. BASICALLY THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL. SEEMS "DEAD." AS A DRIVER, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS, THE CAR KICKS IN AND WILL MOVE AFTER AWKARDLY LURCHING FORWARD WHICH IS NOT PARTICULARLY COMFORTABLE OR SAFE FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER BLAMES IT ON THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION AND ADVISES THAT IT CANNOT BE FIXED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER DRIVER REAR ENDING MY VEHICLE OR ANOTHER TYPE OF ACCIDENT.

POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED MY 2016 TUCSON NEW IN MARCH 2016 IT CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 58,500 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS. I NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL RECENTLY, IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE CAR BUCKS AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL, MORE THAN IT USED TO SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. THAT I COULD DEAL WITH HOWEVER, IT ALSO BECAME UNRELIABLE WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT, STOP SIGN ETC. I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD I HAVE LOST COUNT HOW MANY TIMES IT HAS DONE THIS SINCE THE END OF MARCH. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK MY CAR TO KEY HYUNDAI THEY TOLD ME THEY NEEDED TO DUPLICATE WHAT I WAS TELLING THEM. AFTER A FEW HOURS I GOT A CALL AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO THEY CHECKED FOR ANY DIAGNOSTIC ISSUES FOUND NONE SO TO "KEEP ME HAPPY" THEY DID A DUAL CLUTCH RELEARN. I TOOK THE CAR HOME AND REALLY NOTICED VERY LITTLE DIFFERENCE. THEN WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS IT STARTED REPEATING THE HARD BUCKING AND AGAIN THERE WERE A FEW TIMES THAT AFTER I STOPPED TO WAIT FOR TRAFFIC OR A GREEN LIGHT I WOULD STEP ON THE GAS AND GO NOWHERE NO MATTER HOW FAR DOWN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL UNTIL ALL OF THE SUDDEN IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO HYUNDAI ON MAY 6, 2019 AND FOR THE LAST 10 DAYS THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM DUE TO PICK UP MY CAR FROM THEM TOMORROW AND THEY WILL HAVE DONE NOTHING EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW I AM A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND HAVE NEVER HAD A COMPLAINT PRIOR TO THIS, AND EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND WHAT I AM DESCRIBING AND THAT IS BECAUSE WHEN THEY CALLED HYUNDAI THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY MUST DUPLICATE THE ISSUE OR NO REPAIR. THAT NOW LEAVES MY SAFETY IN QUESTION WHEN DRIVING MY CAR.

ENGINE RECALL DELAY IS MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO RELY ON VEHICLE. CHANGING OIL AND CHECKING LEVELS DAILY TO MITIGATE RISK OF FAILURE DURING DRIVE. MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO STEP UP RECALL REPAIR EFFORTS

THE DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE AFTER YOU LOCK THE DOORS. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE HANDLE ANYWHERE FROM 5-10 TIMES TO GET TO OPEN OR NOT. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY PASSAGER IF THE CAR WAS INVOLVED IN A WRECK OR CAUGHT ON FIRE . THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP KWON ABOUT THE ISSUE.

DRIVING CAR WITH 80K MILES ON IT 10 DAYS AFTER DEALER OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE. GOING 50 MPH DOWN 4-LANE HWY. WHEN ENGINE STOPPED. I WASN'T BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. FORTUNATELY I WAS IN RIGHT LANE AND COULD PULL OVER, RARE ON THAT ROAD. HAD TO HAVE TOWED TO NEAREST DEALER (NOT THE ONE WHO SERVICED IT). DEALER SAID $5700 TO REBUILD ENGINE DUE TO THROWN ROD. TALKED TO SERVICE MGR. WHERE OIL CHANGE DONE AND HE SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT IN THE ENGINE OF 2010-2013 HYUNDAI AND THAT HYUNDAI WOULD FIX AT NO COST TO ME AND COVER COST OF LOANER. I'M NOT ORIGINAL OWNER BUT HE SAID THAT WOULDN'T MATTER SINCE THIS WAS A RECALL ISSUE. CALLED THE NUMBER I WAS GIVEN FOR CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND WAS TOLD THEY TALKED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE CAR WAS TOWED AND MY WARRANTY CLAIM WAS DENIED. ADVISED I WASN'T PUTTING IN A WARRANTY CLAIM AND THIS WAS A KNOWN DEFECT. AS STATED ON THE TAPE YOU GET WHEN YOU CALL CONSUMER AFFAIRS, THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THE OIL PAN THAT CAN CAUSE ENGINE DAMAGE INCLUDING CAUSING A HIGH SPEED STALL. THE TAPE STATES THE RECALL HAS BEEN "ANNOUNCED BUT NOT LAUNCHED." THEY ARE FULLY AWARE THERE IS A PROBLEM, ONE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL FOR ME, AND I AM GETTING THE RUNAROUND. THE CONSUMER AFFAIRS REP FINALLY ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER AND SAID SOMEONE WOULD CALL IN 3-5 DAYS. THEY DID NOT, SO I CALLED. THAT PERSON RETURNED MY CALL AND TOLD ME MY WARRANTY CLAIM HAD BEEN DENIED. I ADVISED, AGAIN, NOW 8 DAYS LATER AND NEARLY 2 WEEKS WITHOUT A CAR, THAT IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. SHE SAID SHE WOULD CHECK AND GET BACK TO ME BUT SHE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT "CAMPAIGN 181," WHICH IS THIS ISSUE. DESPITE ADDITIONAL CALLS BY ME SHE HAD NOT CALLED BACK. I'VE CONTACTED [email protected] AND RECEIVED NO REPLY. THEY SHOULD IMPLEMENT A RECALL IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. THEY SHOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE AND BE THANKFUL NO ONE WAS KILLED.

PURCHASED A 2016 TUSCON WITH 35 MILES ON IT ON MAY 2016. WITHIN 3 MONTHS MY PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AFTER BEING UNLOCKED. THIS WAS CORRECTED AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS OF THIS YEAR, BOTH OF MY REAR DOORS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, THE PASSENGER SIDE BUZZES WHEN THE LOCK , THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR (WHICH IS THE BIG ISSUE) HAS TOTALLY QUIT OPENING, IT UNLOCKS BUT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUT. WHEN I TOLD THE SERVICE MAN AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, HE SAID "THAT THEY SEE A LOT OF TUSCONS WITH DOOR ISSUES" AND THAT IT WILL NOT BE CHEAP. I STARTED LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT THE DOORS JUST STOP WORKING AND THAT IT IS DUE TO BAD WORKMANSHIP ON HYUNDAI PART. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IF THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN AND THERE WAS A ISSUE THAT PASSENGERS NEEDED TO GET OUT IN A HURRY THEY COULD NOT.

TAKATA RECALL : I HAVE TO DRIVE 47 MILES ON A FAST PACED HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA IN ORDER TO GET TO MY JOB, DAILY. MULTIPLE TIMES A WEEK I EXPERIENCE A STALL WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE HIGHWAY. I TOOK MY CAR TO A LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP RECENTLY AND THEY DID NOT EVEN KNOW ABOUT THE UPCOMING RECALL. FOR MONTHS, I HAVE BEEN HAVING TO DRIVE MY CAR AND FEEL UNSAFE. I HAVE TO GO TO WORK, AND I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE OPTION. I FEEL UNSAFE AND AM INCREDIBLY UPSET THAT HYUNDAI HAS NOT FOUND A RESOLUTION YET. IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED SOON I WILL BE FORCED TO GET ANOTHER VEHICLE, REGARDLESS OF MY FINANCIAL SITUATION. MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL NOT BE A HYUNDAI, SOLELY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF TIME THIS RECALL RESOLUTION IS TAKING.

WHEN I PUSH THE ACCELERATION FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE. IT ALSO JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM GEAR 2 TO 1.THIS HAPPENS A LOT ON THE CITY STREET OR WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND HAS ALMOST CAUSED WRECKS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MACHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS AND COILS BUT THE VEHICLE IS STILL DOING THIS AND I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT IN FEAR OF A CRASH UNTIL FIND OUT IF THIS IS THE SAME RECALL FROM OTHER 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON TRANSMISSION ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MAYBE.
