CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, LOST ALL POWER TO A VERY SLOW CREEP, MAKING A VERY STRANGE SOUND IN ENGINE, FRIED STARTER AND NOW WON'T WORK AT ALL. EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY THE THETA II ENGINE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THIS CAR...BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. WE HAVE NOTICED EXTRA OIL CONSUMPTION BUT FIGURED DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE. WE HAD A MECHANIC COME OUT AND HE SAID THE THINKS THE ENGINE IS FRIED OR THERE IS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THIS ALL DURING COVID, MY HUSBAND IS HIGH RISK WE HAD TO GO BUY ANOTHER CAR AS WE DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX. I NOW HAVE 2 HEFTY CAR PAYMENTS WITH 1 VEHICLE WORKING.

IN 2019, THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. WE HAD IT REPAIRED BY HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP. NOW, THE PASSENGER FRONT DOOR IS DOING THE SAME. WE CAN UNDERSTAND ONE BAD PART, BUT FOUND IT TOO COINCIDENTAL THAT IT HAPPENED TWICE. NEITHER WAS DUE TO OPERATOR CAUSED DAMAGE OR MISUSE. WE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND MANY OTHERS SUFFERING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY MANUFACTURER. THIS VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY SINGLE PASSENGER USE WITH OCCASIONAL USE OF THE OTHER DOORS TO PUT GROCERIES IN/OUT. HAD IT BEEN FAILURE FROM OVERUSE, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DRIVER DOOR.

THIS HAPPENED LAST MONTH AS WELL. DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHILE IT IS PARKED AND ON, IT LOCKS AND UNLOCKS BUT WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE WHILE IT'S UNLOCKED. LAST TIME IT FIXED AFTER PULLING ON IT APPROXIMATELY 25 TIMES TOTAL. I HAVE TRIED MANUALLY AND AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AND TRYING TO OPEN BUT NOTHING WORKS. THIS TIME IS IS NOT WORKING AND BECOMES A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN.

BOTH RIGHT SIDE DOORS DO NOT CONSISTENTLY OPEN WHEN FIRST UNLOCKED. THIS HAPPENS IN A STATIONARY POSITION RIGHT AFTER UNLOCKING DOORS. ONCE OPEN, THEY ARE FINE UNTIL THE CAR IS LOCKED AGAIN. THEY WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER EXTERIOR HANDLE OR INTERIOR HANDLE. THIS HAPPENED A WHILE AGO, BUT RECENTLY TRIED TO GET IT FIXED AND FOUND OUT I AM OUT OF WARRANTY COVERAGE. WHEN I LOOKED UP HOW TO REPAIR IT, I WAS SHOCKED BY HOW WIDESPREAD THE ISSUE IS.

ENGINE
DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SHOULDER AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WAS CRACKED DESPITE IT'S LOW MILEAGE AND NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE BREAKDOWN, IT ALSO WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR A FEW WEEKS YET. THE DAY IT BROKE DOWN WAS POURING RAIN SO I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY POSSIBLE OIL OR OTHER LIQUID LEAKING OUT DUE TO THE WEATHER.

ENGINE
VEHICLE IS 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH JUST UNDER 60,000 MILES ON IT. MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR OIL AND FILTER CHANGES. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE 4 DAYS AGO, A RATTLING NOISE WAS NOTICED COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. WHEN COMING TO A STOP, VEHICLE STARTED TO ALMOST STALL, THEN ENGINE AND RPMS RACED, NO INDICATOR LIGHTS. CALLED THE DEALER THAT IT WAS PURCHASED FROM TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND SCHEDULE OIL CHANGE SERVICE THAT IT WAS JUST ABOUT DUE FOR, A RECALL TO BE DONE AND HAVE THE ISSUE LOOKED AT. APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED FOR THE FOLLOWING WEEK, BUT THE VEHICLE DIDN'T MAKE IT TO THE APPOINTMENT. YESTERDAY, I DROVE MOST OF THE DAY WITH NO ISSUES, THEN SUDDENLY WHEN COMING TO A STOP, STARTED HEARING A RATTLING AND KNOCKING COMING FROM THE ENGINE REALLY BAD. VEHICLE STARTED TO STALL, STILL NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ON. VEHICLE DID NOT STALL AND STARTED GOING AGAIN UNTIL I STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AT ANOTHER STOP SIGN. OIL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING ERRATICALLY, ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE DIED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. CALLED DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ISSUE, THEY HAD ME CONTACT HYUNDAI ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO TOW THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON ARRIVAL AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE SERVICE ADVISOR, BEFORE EVEN HAVING THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT, STATED THAT IT'S GOING TO NEED A NEW ENGINE, AS IF THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THE ISSUES CONCERNING THESE VEHICLES.

HYUNDAI DEALERSHIPS WON'T PERFORM RECALL ON DANGEROUS ABS ISSUE THAT CAUSES ENGINE COMPARTMENT FIRES. THEY SAY TO PARK OUTSIDE AND AWAY FROM STRUCTURES, BUT DEALERSHIPS SAY THEY ARE ONLY ALLOWED TO PERFORM 7 RECALLS A DAY BECAUSE THEY TAKE "4 HOURS" BUT THE RECALL PAPER WORK SAYS IT SHOULD TAKE LESS THEN 1 HOUR. SO THEY ARE BOOKED FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS LEAVING US WITHOUT A WAY TO GET THE DANGEROUS FIRE CAUSING ISSUE FIXED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ENOUGH ISSUE, THAT SHOULD BE PRIORITY EVEN BEFORE THEIR SALES. IT'S DISGUSTING WHAT HYUNDAI HAS BEEN GETTING AWAY WITH CONCERNING THEIR FAULTY VEHICLES.
