ENGINE
I was driving down the road and my “check engine” light came on and started blinking. Immediately afterwards, I noticed that my car acted like it would not accelerate. When I came to a stoplight, it was very sluggish to accelerate. I was right near an O’Reilly’s so I pulled in and had them use the code checker. It showed a P1326 code and I was advised not to drive the vehicle. I had my car towed to the dealership. The dealership called me the next day and advised me that the engine would need to be replaced, but the cost would be covered by an extended warranty. However-they told me it would be 2 months before I would get the car back!! They are not offering a loaner car nor offering to pay for a rental car! There is less than 65000 miles on my car! This is an extreme hardship on me. I work 25 miles away and cannot afford a rental vehicle for 2 months!

ENGINE
My engine began to leak and burned oil to a point where it needed oil changes much frequently than normal. Within 2 months of being made aware of the leak, I began to hear knocking noises. Once I return again to the dealership I was made aware now I needed a new engine. How is it that I've had my vehicle serviced only at a Hyundai Motor dealership and once my warranty is out, I now need an engine? What makes matters worse, there is a current recall on my vehicle year and make for the engine but I was told that my engine doesn't fall under this recall. I beg to differ! I am frustrated that I have yet another Hyundai that has failed me and I am stuck without a vehicle.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Appears to be an issue with the Dual Clutch Transmission. Makes the suv jolt after starting, waiting in traffic/red light and/or randomly driving around. Speed is not a determine factor in causing this “jolt”, for it happens at any rate of speed. Fear is the suv will randomly just stall and/or completely give out while driving, especially on the highway!

The DCT transmission shudders when first accelerating then smoothing out . it also at times will not accelerate at all for several seconds. This can be very dangerous while pulling out into traffic because it doesn't do it all the time.The dealer does know about the problem and has been confirmed . No warning lamps .

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
Cracked cylinder wall in engine, after major oil consumption issues, complaints filed with dealership, corporate offices, did oil consumption tests and further hyundai corporate recommended an engine clean out which helped for a while however last year they had to replace my catalytic converter because it was "clogged", but still maintain that it didn't have to do with the oil consumption issue. No warning lights came on engine just wouldnt accelerate properly when pulling out in traffic, made noises and would not perform as it should. I have all service records pertaining to this vehicle since we have owned it. Dealership is wanting us to pay 8k for repairs because hyundai says its not covered under the recall .

When I'm stopped at a light and go to push on the gas, the vehicle doesn't move, then all of a sudden it just takes off. Next the exterior driver side door handle doesn't open I have to pull on it a few times then it opens, there's like a delay. There are tones of complaints online about this, it's like the 2017 model's were just looked over when it came to SAFETY. My car only has 70K. Thank you.

Engine light came on and then went off twice so I checked the dipstick and there was no oil on it. So went to Express Oil Change and they ended up performing oil change- but there was none in it. Car could have stalled. Yes. I have to keep going to having oil added to keep the car running. There isn’t a leak anywhere, yet the oil level keeps dropping. I took to a Hyundai dealership and they told me they would perform oil consumption test but then called the next day (after I left my car there) and said they would not do it because I am the second owner. No. Yes. Engine light came on but when back off two times within the same hour which prompted me to check the oil.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at highway speeds, an abnormal knocking sound was coming from the vehicle with the vehicle hesitating upon depression of the accelerator pedal.

The contact had the coil pack and spark plugs replaced. Several weeks later, the failure returned, and the vehicle was taken to a second independent mechanic. The mechanic determined that the engine bolts on the manifold and the turbo charger had blown. The contact was informed that a further diagnostic test was needed to determine the extent of the damage to the engine. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was referred to a local dealer. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the mechanic confirmed the failure and informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired.
