ENGINE
MARCH 20,2019 MY SUV SHUT DOWN, WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA. I TRIED TO START IT AGAIN, BUT WASN'T SUCCESSFUL. MY INTERIOR LIGHTS, HORN, AND RADIO WAS STILL WORKING, AND I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS. LUCKILY, I WASN'T IN REAL TRAFFIC OR ON THE HIGHWAY, BECAUSE IT COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED, AND IT ARRIVED AT FENTON HYUNDAI OF MESQUITE, IN MESQUITE TX, AT APPROXIMATELY 6:54 A.M. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AROUND 9 A.M., AND NO ONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD TELL ME WHAT WAS GOING ON OR WHAT THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD TO "GIVE THEM A CALL BACK IN A FEW HOUR". AT APPROXIMATELY 3:56 PM, I CALLED AND SPOKE THE SUPERVISOR OVER THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND WAS TOLD THAT "I MAY NEED A NEW ENGINE AND YOUR WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 60,000 MILES AND YOU HAVE 88,000 + MILES ON YOUR SUV". I INFORMED THE SUPERVISOR THAT I HAD GAP AND WAS COVER ROOF TO ROAD, BUMPER TO BUMPER, FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000, WHICHEVER COMES 1ST. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THAT WARRANTY WASN'T IN THEIR SYSTEM. ON MARCH 21, 2019, AT APPROXIMATELY 9:20 A.M., I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP, WITH MY CONTRACTS AND ASKED FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISOR AND ATTEMPTED TO SHOW HIM MY CONTRACT AND HE STATED "THIS ISN'T A GAP ISSUE. I STILL WAITING ON ANSWER FROM HYUNDAI, ON HOW WE SHOULD HANDLE IT". AT THAT POUINT, I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR, UNTIL MINE WAS FIXED AND READY FOR PICK UP, BUT WAS TOLD THAT ALL 23 LOANER CARS WERE IN USE. NO OTHER OPTION WAS OFFERED. FAST FORWARD, TO TODAY, MARCH 24,2019, STILL NO LOANER OR RENTAL, AND NO ANSWERS REGARDING MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD.

'TAKATA RECALL' BOTH BACK DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE NOR BE OUTSIDE. INITIALLY STARTED WITH THE BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND WITHIN 2 WEEKS THE BACK PASSENGER DOOR WPULD NOT OPEN EITHER. WHEN I I HIT THE LOCK AND UNLOCK BUTTON FROM INSIDE THE CAR AND ON MY KEY FOB THE LOCKS MOVE, THEREFORE IT IS NOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND APPARENTLY THE 'CLIP' FALLS OF INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL THEREFORE THE DOOR WILL NOT OPEN. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE, SINCE IF MY CAR WERE TO CATCH ON FIRE OR WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND I HAD A PASSENGERS IN THE BACKSEAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE! NOR AM I ABLE TO GET MY CHILD IN AND OUT OF THE BACKSEAT WITH THE CAR SEAT.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RECEIVED 2 RECALL NOTICES TO HAVE THE ENGINE CONTROL SOFTWARE UPDATED WITH AN ANTI-KNOCK PREVENTION FEATURE. WE UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AT THE DEALER BEFORE THE SECOND LETTER FROM HYUNDAI WHICH NOTIFIED US THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL LIMIT ENGINE PERFORMANCE AND VEHICLE SPEED IF ACTUATED, AND THAT WE SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR SHOULD THIS OCCUR. THIS IS PERCEIVED TO BE A SALES GIMMICK FOR HYUNDAI THAT IS UNAVOIDABLE IF ACTUATED. THE HYUNDAI 1-800 HELP LINE COULD NOT ANSWER THE QUESTIONS REGARDING AN OPTION TO REMOVE THE SOFTWARE TO AVOID THIS EVENT, OR THE COST TO MAKE THE MANDATED REPAIRS WHEN THEY OCCUR. THEY ALSO PROMISED A 120,000 WARRANTY UPDATE NOTIFICATION THAT WAS NEVER SENT TO US PROMISED 3-5 DAYS AFTER INSTALLATION. WE PERCEIVE THE SOFTWARE INSTALLATION A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT COMMANDS YOUR VEHICLE INTO A LIMITING STATE. THE RECALL IS LABELLED: PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN NUMBER 953. 2015 HYUNDAI TIUCSON, A CAR WE OTHERWISE LOVE, AND A 3RD HYUNDAI IN 7 YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I FIRST NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BACK OF MY SUV. I PULLED INTO A STORE PARKING LOT AND TRIED TO PARK. MY MAIN BRAKES FAILED. I THEN TRIED USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. IT TOO FAILED. WHITE SMOKE STARTED COMING THROUGH THE VENTS SO I TURNED THEM AWAY FROM ME AND TRIED SHIFTING TO PARK WITH NO SUCCESS. I THEN PRESSED THE MAIN BRAKE AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SHIFT TO PARK. THEN SOMEONE IN THE PARKING LOT YELLED, "YOUR CAR'S ON FIRE! GET OUT!" I GRABBED MY KEYS, CELL PHONE AND WORK BADGE AND AS I WAS GETTING OUT, BLACK SMOKE BEGAN FILLING THE CABIN. STORE EMPLOYEES TRIED TO PUT OUT THE FIRE WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WITH NO SUCCESS. WITHIN 10 MINUTES THE FRONT HALF OF THE SUV WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES! I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL NOR THE REASON FOR THE ENGINE TO CATCH FIRE! I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS FOR VIEWING.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN I MAKE A TURN RIGHT OR LEFT, JOINING TRAFFIC, I PRESS ACCELERATION AND THE CAR DOES NOTHING... I MAY EVEN PUSH THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR, ENGINE ROARS AT 5-6K AND THE CAR DOES NOT MOVE AT ALL OR MOVES EXTREMELY SLOWLY... I WATCH THE CARDS APPROACHING FROM THE BACK AND START TO PRAY... I BARELY ESCAPED FEW ACCIDENT SITUATIONS BECAUSE THE APPROACHING DRIVERS WERE CAUTIOUS ENOUGH ABOUT SOMETHING WRONG GOING ON WITH MY CAR, NOT MOVING. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE AUTHORIZED HYUNDAI SERVICE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BUT, ACCORDING TO OTHER PUBLIC RECORDS, THE ISSUE SEEMS LIKELY TO BE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT), LATER RENAMED TO "AUTOMATED MANUAL", WHICH IS WHAT I HAVE IN MY TUCSON.

ENGINE
THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE IS THAT THE ENGINE STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS AT ALL. THERE WAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS, NO OIL LIGHTS, OR ANY SENSORS THAT POPPED UP FOR THAT ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH WITH THIS ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED HIM WITH A ENGINE PROBLEM AND SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD IT THEN TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR A WEEK WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT IS ACTUALLY WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. I CANNOT RECEIVE A LOANER CAR BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND MY AFTERMARKET WARRANTY IS STILL TRYING TO INVESTIGATE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE AND NO ONE ELSE IS HELPING ME. I'VE BEEN OUT OF WORK NOW FOR ALMOST 2 WEEKS WITH NO VEHICLE NO EXPLANATION, BUT YET THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ALL THROUGHOUT THE INTERNET ABOUT THE ENGINE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS NO ENGINE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE FOR THIS VEHICLE PROBABLY BECAUSE OF THE KNOWN ISSUE. THEY ARE TELLING ME THEY WILL HAVE TO ORDER IT PIECE BY PIECE IF THE WARRANTY WILL COVER IT. I PERSONALLY THINK THERE SHOULD BE AN INSPECTION ON THESE ENGINES AND A RECALL DONE BECAUSE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS AT THE MARKET. I HAVE READ OVER 30 DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE JUST DYING AND SEIZING WHILE DRIVING THE CAR.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING PLACE IN A SHOPPING CENTER. AS I WAS TURNING INTO THE PARKING PLACE I VERY LIGHTLY TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR AND THE ENGINE REVED UP AND I APPLIED THE BRAKE ONLY TO HAVE THE CAR CONTINUE FORWARD AND GO UP THE CEMENT CURB. I THEN PUSHED DOWN ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND ONLY THEN DID THE CAR STOP. IF THE CEMENT BLOCK HAD NOT BEEN THERE, I WOULD HAVE HIT THE CAR PARKED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. THE FRONT TIRES HAD GONE ABOUT TWO FEET UP ON THE CEMENT BLOCK. THE NEXT TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ONCE AGAIN PARKING. THIS TIME I WAS PARKING PARALLEL TO THE CURB. I PULLED INTO AND IN FRONT OF THE SPACE I WAS GOING TO PARK IN. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND BEGAN TO BACK UP SLOWLY WITH MY FOOT OVER THE BRAKE PEDAL. SUDDENLY, THE ENGINE REVED UP AND THE CAR LURCHED BACKWARD. THIS TIME I APPLIED THE BRAKE VERY HARD AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP MY CAR BEFORE I HIT CAR IN BACK OF ME.

RECENTLY, WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE INVOLVING THE REAR DOOR LOCKING SYSTEM ON OUR DAUGHTER'S 2016 TUCSON. THE DOORS CAN'T BE OPENED, DESPITE THE CHILD LOCKS BEING DISABLED, THE AUTO AND MANUAL LOCKS BEING UNLOCKED, OR THE MANUAL HANDLES BEING USED FROM INSIDE OR OUT. THE IS A MOST UNSAFE SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. WE HAVE SCHEDULED A MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENT WITH OUR LOCAL DEALER (TAMERON HYUNDAI, HOOVER) AT OUR EXPENSE.

MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN 2016, SHORTLY AFTER I LEASED IT, FOR A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. PRIOR TO MY RECALL APPOINTMENT, I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PRESSED THE GAS AND THE CAR FAILED TO ACCELERATE. WHEN IT FINALLY DID, IT SURGED FORWARD INTO AN INTERSECTION. WHILE VERY SCARY, NO ONE WAS HURT. THE RECALL ISSUE WAS "ADDRESSED" BY THE DEALER. IN FEBRUARY 2019, THE CAR AGAIN HAD AN ISSUE WHERE IT FAILED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT ON A SLIGHT INCLINE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, IT BACKED UP. I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND HIT THE GAS. NOT ONLY DID THE CAR FAIL TO ACCELERATE FORWARD BUT THE BRAKE WAS STUCK. WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR, IT REVERSED UNTIL IT HIT A DUMPSTER, BUSTING MY TAIL LIGHT AND PUTTING A DENT IN MY TRUNK. AGAIN, LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED. IT IS WELL DOCUMENTED THAT THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL HAVE HAD THE ISSUE THAT I AM DESCRIBING. THERE HAVE BEEN SUITS UNDER THE LEMON LAW. MOREOVER, THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER HAVE BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL. IT TOOK MULTIPLE CALLS TO GET A NATIONAL CASEWORKER ASSIGNED. WHEN I FINALLY RECEIVED A CALL, INWAS TOLD TO BRING IT TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS. MY CAR HAS BEEN WITH THE DEALER FOR 5 DAYS WITH NO ANSWERS AND AND NO LOANER VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT I FEEL IT IS NECESSARY TO WRITE TO YOU TO TAKE ACTION. SAFETY SHOULD BE PARAMOUNT TO ANY CAR MANUFACTURER. IGNORING THE WELL-DOCUMENTED HISTORY OF THIS CAR'S SAFETY ISSUES, CANNOT BE TOLERATED. FAILURE TO ACT, AND WORSE, ATTEMPTS TO SOMEHOW PLACE ONUS ON THE LESSEE IS AN ETHICAL ISSUE AND AN ATTEMPT FOR THE MANUFACTURER TO SAVE FACE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE. THE ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND CANNOT BE PREDICTED. ANY ATTEMPT TO PUT ME BACK IN A FAULTY VEHICLE TO COLLECT MY LAST 4 MONTHLY PAYMENTS IS A DISGUSTING DISPLAY OF A LACK OF CONCERN FOR DRIVER'S SAFETY.

WHILE DRIVNG ON THE 5N FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE, MY CAR SEIZED. I HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO GET ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WARNING LIGHT SAID NOTHING OF OIL LEAK AND GAVE ME THE TPMS WARNING (TIRE PRESSURE). DIAGNOSIS: OIL PLUG FELL OUT OF OIL PAN, ALL OIL LEAKED AND ENGINE WAS RUINED. WEEKS LATER, I RECIEVE A "NEW" ENGINE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHY THE PLUG FELL OUT. IF IT WAS LOOSE, IT WOULD HAVE FELL OUT QUICKER THAN 600 MILES AFTER THE OIL WAS SERVICED. PERHAPS IT WAS THE WRONG SIZE OIL PLUG, WE WONT KNOW BECAUSE IT FELL OUT. RECALL IS FOR 2011-2013 MODELS....PERHAPS THE 2017 HAS SAME ISSUES!!! NHTSA'S CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063. 120,000 HYUNDAI TUCSON SUVS FROM THE 2011 TO 2013 MODEL YEARS. THE OIL PAN MAY HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY SEALED DURING ENGINE PRODUCTION. AS A RESULT, AN OIL LEAK COULD DEVELOP AND LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE, THE ENGINE STALLING, OR EVEN A FIRE, NHTSA SAYS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I PURCHASED THE 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON IN OCTOBER 2015. THE FOLLOWING YEAR I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M STOPPED AND GO TO ACCELERATE, MY CAR WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE FOR A FEW SECONDS THEN IT TAKES OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO PULLING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OFTEN BUT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS. NOW LATELY, I HAVE BEEN GETTING 'CHECK BSD SYSTEM' WARNINGS. THIS HAPPENED ONCE ONE DAY AND THEN INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE. NOW MY CAR WILL GIVE THAT WARNING, ACTS LIKE IT SHUTS OFF, AND WONT GO ANYWHERE AND I'LL HAVE TO RESTART MY CAR. OR SOMETIMES IT WILL BE IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR AND THAT WARNING WILL POP UP AND IMMEDIATELY SHIFT TO 0. AFTER THIS HAPPENS THERE ARE 5-6 WARNING LIGHTS THAT LIGHT UP ON THE DASH BOARD, INCLUDING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THIS HAS PROGRESSED OVER THE LAST 3 DAYS, ULTIMATELY MAKING MY CAR NOT DRIVABLE. I AM TAKING IT IN TOMORROW. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I'VE BEEN IN 'DRIVE' AND EITHER STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR EVENING IN MOTION.
