The engine has continuously thrown itself into limp mode, unable to exceed 2,000 RPMS and 60mph. It has been in and out of the dealership for the past 6 months as they have zero idea of what’s going on. This all started a month after some software updates were done. Car had zero mechanical issues prior. Car has no audible knocking or engine failure symptoms. I’ve spent atleast $2,000 out of pocket to attempt to get the car fixed with no luck. When I get the car back everytime, it goes into limp mode at interstate speeds which is extremely dangerous.

As I was turning a corner the transmission seemed to disengaged; when I attempted to accelerate the car would not respond. It felt as though the car had shifted into neutral even though it is an automatic transmission and I had not made any adjustment. Very dangerous in I was in sn intersection and traffic behind and around me had no indication that my car had lost all power to move on its own accord. There could very likely have been collisions.

ENGINE
Engine failure from spun rod bearings, confirmed by a Hyundai dealership. The 1.6 motor in this vehicle has the same excessive oil consumption issue just like the 2.0 and 2.4 motors, but is not covered under any recall or class action law suit. That oil consumption i believe contributed to engine failure. There were no warning lights or anything until the damage occured.

ENGINE
Since I was notified of this recall on November 16, 2021, I have diligently followed the instructions provided, and my vehicle has been taken to a Hyundai service center for inspection and necessary repairs. However, I am deeply disappointed and concerned that despite the recall and subsequent corrective actions, my vehicle has continued to experience persistent issues related to the engine. I have experienced several engine problems, including repeated transmission replacements (twice) and dual-clutch replacements (three times), which have had a significant impact on the overall performance and safety of my vehicle. The frequency of these issues and the potential consequences, including engine stalling and increased risk of accidents, are alarming. I understand that Hyundai has taken measures to address the recall issue, but it appears that the corrective actions have not resolved the problem in my vehicle. Given the seriousness of the engine-related concerns outlined in the recall, I strongly believe that my vehicle's issues should be thoroughly investigated, and the necessary steps should be taken to ensure my safety and reliability.

My concern is who is going to pay for the damage to my car? I initiated a claim with Hyundai due to my car malfunctioning at a stoplight, the light turned green and I gently pressed the accelerator and it lurched forward and smashed into the car in front of me. I had taken my car in multiple times telling them the accelerator sticks and hesitates. Each time they told me nothing was wrong with it. I researched online and I found many people were having this same issue with the accelerator in the 2017 Hyundai Tucson. I was also told there is a software update available to help with this. The service department at the Dealership said there is not one. I have an appointment with the Hyundai service department on 12/20, I need to know who is going to pay for my car.

I already had a recall scheduled 4 days before this accident but 2 days before the engine failure I heard a ticking in the engine , didn’t think much of it because the engine was still running ( 93k miles on the car) so I was going to tell the dealer the problem when I took it for the recall fix appointment but on the way home my car instantly went from 70-30 in the middle of the highway I had the car towed to the Hyundai Dealer and they said rod had broke and said also something about the oil being dirty when I literally had the oil changed days before , but end result my 2nd owners warranty didn’t cover the vehicle even with rod failures being a recurring problem with my trim. They told me a new engine would be 13,500k while still owing 10k on the vechile has but me in a difficult situation
