VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
The acceleration completely stopped, while driving in the third lane, northbound on the 15 freeway in the cajon pass. The dealership informed me the transmission is the cause. The car is still with the service department now. No warning lights. No check engine lights, nothing. The power in the car remained on the car acted as if it was in neutral.

Hyundai IS ONCE OF THE WORST AUTO I HAVE EVER DELT WITH! Absolutely not Help I was practically stranded on an issue that Had nothing to do with me! The engine light came Out of no where

STRUCTURE:BODY
The rear passenger door on my 2017 Hyundai Tuscon will not open from either inside or outside of the vehicle despite the door being confirmed as unlocked. This is a huge safety issue as my rear passenger, currently, my 6-year-old would effectively be trapped in the vehicle during an emergency. This also requires my son to climb up to the front seat to exit the vehicle at school as I am required to allow him to exit from the right side of the car for safety reasons. There were no warning indicators for this. The issue first appeared yesterday, 9/6/202, when I went to take my son to cub scouts and could not open the vehicle door to let him in the car. I am making an appointment with Hyundai but a basic Google search shows this is a widespread issue with Hyundai vehicles in this year range and given the grave concern for safety I do not understand why this is not a recall.

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
I was driving down the interstate, going approximately 70mph, and my 2012 Hyundai Tucson started having difficulty maintaining speed. The engine started revving up while the car was still slowing down. Suddenly, I felt a knock and smoke started bellowing out of the engine bay. I pulled over immediately, opened the hood to inspect, and was almost burnt by the flames. There was a fire near the back of the engine block which I was able to put out with some water. I had my vehicle towed to the Hyundai of West Allis in Wisconsin. The dealership and a corporate Hyundai inspector determined that the cause of the fire was a thrown engine rod. There were no signs of issues or engine lights prior to this event. My Tucson has been at the dealership for nearly two months. After tens of hours dealing with Hyundai customer service and the dealership, both entities decided that they will do nothing to remedy the situation. My Hyundai vehicle has the 2.4L Theta II engine which is clearly implicated in the recent class action lawsuit against Hyundai for faulty engines. There is a recall for the rod bearing which was the direct cause of my engine throwing a rod and causing the fire.

Regulators and motor breaking in all windows without use. I can’t get a safety inspection with them not working. Many complaints on the internet. If I can’t get a safety inspection, this should constitute a recall.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
Issues when trying to accelerate from a slow day pace or from a stop. Worse on really hot days and really cold days. It feels like the car is cutting out and/or hesitating. I have almost gotten hit several times due to this issue. The car is also idling very loud after start up. I have mentioned these issues the last 2 oil change appointments and nothing has been done or looked at. Stated I need to have the fuel emission system cleaned at 80k miles and that should help. That is my next step, but I have read a lot of the same complaints and wondering what has been done.

Peeling paint Paint started peeling away on hood, and now on roof. On a single drive to town about half the paint peeling from my roof. There’s also little bubble in various areas on the vehicle where the paint looks like it’s about to start coming off. Appears to be a manufacturer defect as they’ve had this same issue before with numerous models.

POWER TRAIN
when en route to a Dr. appointment I was hearing a consistent knocking noise coming from the engine bay, the fast the rpm's were the louder the knocking sound. Upon starting the vehicle to leave the Dr. office the knocking was becoming very concerning in volume, so I decided to take it to the dealership approx. less than 4 miles. By the time that i made it to the dealership and had them inspect the noise they stated that they didnt trust the vehicle leaving their lot. It has been under their inspection process ever since. I have been having issues with them honoring the warranty i got with the vehicle upon purchase and the refuse to acknowledge the issue with the known recall on over 83% of the total Hyundai Tucson's of that years production run. When in contact with their "middle man" as she called herself, Hyundai has stated that if the engine is in need of replacement that they will only cover up to 80% of the total repair cost ($9,9**.**) leaving myself with close to $2,000 to pay for a vehicle in warranty.

My engine started stalling on me and has loss of power then out of nowhere I started getting a knocking noise which was followed by a check engine light. I had a oil light flashing before this occurred but oil level was good. Changed oil and filter and noise persisted along with stalling making it hard to drive anywhere safely. I haven't had it taken anywhere because I see this is a known issue on hyundai vehicles and newer models have recalls out on them. My vehicle only has 38,000 miles and shouldn't be having engine issues already.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My wife was driving on the parkway north in New Jersey at approximately 65 miles an hour at about 3:45 pm. The car began to lose power, was shaking, and sputtering. Luckily, she was able to pull onto the shoulder and did not get hit by another car or truck. Once she pulled over, she let the car rest for about 10 minutes and started it up again. It hesitated, but started. Once she put it in gear, it stalled. she tried this two other times and it stalled each time. she waited for a tow truck and the care was towed to the dealer. The dealer invoice with repairs is attached.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Vacuum pump was recalled back in 2019 - T3C: TL Tucson Vacuum Pump (19-01-010H). My car was “repaired” to fix the seal/cap. However, today the vacuum pump needs to be replaced. The engine light, brake assist and traction control lights all came on and stayed on. After talking with Hyundai it appears as though back when the recall occurred, the minimum was repaired and proper replacement of the part was not taken. Hyundai says they are no longer required to remedy the problem because they already addressed the recall back in 2019. Is there any action enforceable to take toward Hyundai to honor a complete repair of the recall rather than just slap a band-aid on it?
