ENGINE
My 2017 Hyundai Tuscon 1.6L Turbo failed on a 55mph highway with no warning signs, no check engine light, no low oil pressure light, very faint noise was heard prior to completely failing. Vehicle was towed to a local shop who stated there are 100s of thousand of recalls for this exact situation, then towed to Hyundai dealer who said they have 25 cars in line waiting for engine replacements. My vehicle is not part of a recall yet, but like with the other Hyundai engines is at risk of failing at high speeds risking massive injury and death. My vehicle does not qualify for the KSDS knock sensor they are putting in other vehicles to warn the driver of catastrophic engine failure. A warning to get off the road is nice, but these engines are a danger to those who operate them and those who may collide with them at high speeds in the event of engine failure in lower visibility than my case or even inclement weather.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
There was a recall for a malfunction in my engine that could potentially cause the vehicle to catch on fire. The signs associated were knocking in the engine, failure to accelerate, check engine light was on, and the oil light would come on when making turns. I made these observations before a recall was issued, and tried to have vehicle repaired from Priority Hyundai in Chesapeake, VA. They had my vehicle for 6 days and failed to diagnose my vehicle. Less than a month later, my daughter and I were almost hit on the interstate due to the car failing to accelerate. Took my vehicle to Hall Hyundai in Newport News, VA. They performed the recall items, and the car ran better, but I could still hear the knocking. February 7, 2022, my daughter and I were stranded because the car was not accelerating again. Pulled over to an Advanced Auto Parts store and the technician said there was a problem with the gaskets, but said he wouldn't drive it. Had my car taken back to Hall Hyundai and was told there wasn't any oil on the dipstick, but they had changed the oil a month before. Had an engine combustion cleaning done. Picked my vehicle up the next day and before I got home, the check engine light was back on, and the engine knocking. I no longer drive my car because my daughter is scared in it, and I have lost confidence that we aren't going to end up on the side of the road somewhere. The engine jumps as if the car is going to either take off or shut down completely. Asked the representative at Hall if I should bring the car back, but never received a response. The car and it has less than 100K miles on it. I've done the required maintenance. I like Hyundai cars, but will most likely switch brands because I can't get any help to repair a vehicle I've had for less than two years. I've paid rental car/maintenance fees that equal at least 8 car payments. The recall said repair or replace, and at this point, I feel a replacement is necessary.

I was driving home one day and out of no where my vehicle started making a loud disturbing knocking/ticking noise. I pulled over and checked my oil levels and there was not a drop of oil in there even though I just had a oil change 4 weeks ago. I also had a tune up four weeks and the Hyundai mechanics reported that nothing else needed to be done on my vehicle and everything was green during the inspection. No lights have illuminated on my dash in my car for concern. There was was no smells of oil leakage and I keep my car in my garage at home when I am not driving and never seen any oil leakage. My car is disabled and I have no transportation. There is a recall out for a 2017 Hyundai Tucson but when I called about it they said my vehicle was not one of the 2017 Hyundai Tucson but I am experiencing the same issues that are in the recall. I am planning on taking it back to the same bib king Hyundai to get a diagnostic done on March 18, 2022. Consumer stated the mechanic reported they could not diagnose the engine rods due to GDS not allowing him to perform bearing clearance test.

My vehicle was not on the recall list and very much should have been. When I am at a complete stop and hit the gas pedal the vehicle rev up and hardly moves and then all of a sudden it will kick in and go... This is a BIG Safety Issue especially when you are at a light and or getting ready to turn or head into on coming traffic. Someone could die or get seriously injured. This is a HUGH Safety concern Still! I cannot repeat it enough. Its a very scary situation. Also when I am at a light or in traffic and start to slow down and just slowly go, the vehicle starts to shutter, like you can hear the dashboard/ front end shake. My Vehicle only has 56,000 miles.

The doors will not open from the inside or the outside. They were working in the morning and later that afternoon with a child in the rear the rear door would not open. Dealer replaced actuator on that door but this is a common occurrence if you look on the internet. If there was a car accident or emergency children would be stuck in the back seat.

ENGINE, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
At 104k miles, the check engine light came on and car was bucking and rattling while accelerating. Engine is malfunctioning and causing car to not accelerate properly by not going when gas pedal is pressed or rpm’s going higher than normal to just start driving from a stop. This is scary on highways or when stopped and have to make a turn or at a signal. Had a self mechanic run the check engine light which was spark plugs and coils and those are changed. He ran other tests and stated the cylinder compression was effected on the third one and is misfiring. Car is well taken care of and routine maintenance done. No inspection done beside this.

The vehicle started to having loss of power problem when reaching around at the speed of 60mph in highway. Due to this problem, the acceleration suddenly dropped sometime and i was not able to keep up with the flowing highway traffic and this highly risked my vehicle from being hit by the behind vehicle. This has put mine and other drivers safety at higher risk. Later after few weeks the engine warning light popped up on my dashboard. I checked my vehicle VIN in NHTSA website and found my vehicle have a recall related to the engine failure so took my vehicle to the nearest dealership but they also showed fault on something else and asked around $4000 to fix it all. I could not do it due to higher cost but they took $200 for diagnostic fees. They did not fix my recall too.
