Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises Problems of Hyundai Tucson

Traveling with wife and infant westbound 210 freeway in pasadena, CA. At highway speed. Wife and I heard a continuous, muffled clicking sound for 20-30 seconds. I felt a slight loss of engine power, at which point, I began making my way from the hov lane to exit. While moving over, I saw a puff of light gray smoke from the rear followed immediately by similar smoke and then some flames from under the hood. There was very little to no engine power at this time as I came to a stop on the shoulder, placed it in park and turned off the ignition. As we stopped, the flames became much greater. We were all able to quickly exit and get to a safe distance. As an aside, we had only days before received a recall notice for this vehicle from Hyundai to address a manufacturer defect that could cause spontaneous, non-collision engine fires. I had not had opportunity to take it in yet.

I was driving down the highway going about 70 miles and hour and for no reason I lost power , the oil light and battery light flashed briefly and thankfully I was able to get to the side of the road off the highway. It turned off. I was able to get it started agin and baby it to the nearest gas station less than a mile down the road. My husband told me to just baby it home and he would take a look at it. It started making a ticking sound. I did get it home and my husband said my engine was shot. Now I don't even know how this is possible for a car that was running just fine and then all this werid stuff happens. Please look into this. I could have been killed. Now we have a dead car that we still have to pay for. And we can't afford a new engine plus the labor to put it in. Now we are trying to find a new car.

Driving at highway speed, car was driving fine, when suddenly the engine began to make tapping noise, which progressively got louder within seconds, and then completely lost power. I coasted to the shoulder of the road, and opened the hood to look for any obvious sign of trouble. I found nothing unusual. I called a tow truck and the car was taken to my local mechanic. I got a call informing me that there were metal shavings on the dipstick, and that he wanted to drop the oil pan. I told him not to , because I was aware of a recall on other Hyundai's, that were having the same type of engine failure. The oil pan bolts appear to have never been removed in the past, despite an NHTSA recall that instructed Hyundai technicians to remove the pan, replace the gasket, and the oil pressure sensor. Despite the NHTSA website indicating that my car has already been examined for this issue, the pan appears to have never been removed from the car.

While accelerating onto the highway, a clicking or clacking noise was heard from the engine, the vehicle then seemed to suddenly loose power then stall. I was fortunate to be able to coast the vehicle off the road and into a parking lot. With the vehicle parked, found oil pouring from under the engine and also saw a long trail of oil leading from the highway to the vehicle. Also found metal shavings in the oil and debris from the broken engine block caught in the plastic shroud under the engine.

I was driving and the engine started making a click click noise. It sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around at the bottom of the engine and lost power. The vehicle broke down and I had to find a to and rental car to get home. Hyundai service said I need a new engine, because the entire engine needed replaced. I know there have been several recalls on the Hyundai engines and I called the Hyundai customer service and flat out told me that my ngine was outside of the warranty and therefore they could not help. I am not ready to have to get a new vehicle, specially in this covid situation. I had a similar issue with a 2003 tuscon santa fe. . . This engine failure issue is a scam.

My vehicle is exhibiting issues with power. My car has stop on the hwy and has clanking noise when it gets close to 4000rpm. It's slow to speed up and sometimes stays at 50mph no matter how long my foot is on the accelerator. I've taken it in to get looked and even had a tune up and it's the same issue. In reverse it's fine but going forward that's when you can feel and hear the problems. This is a safety hazard and I don't have $5000 for a new transmission. My mechanic says it's internal issue with the power train. It needs to be recalled!.

I financed this vehicle on 12/22/19, I started to notice a loud ticking noise coming from the engine shortly after purchase date. Brought it in to dealership, was told it was a vacuum loose, they tightened it and said it should be good. Still heard the ticking just not as loud. I still have continued to hear the ticking, brought it in today and was told by one person who didnt actually inspect the vehicle that it was a purge valve and its normal for this car and age. . Was told by the mechanic at the Hyundai dealership located on ocala FL, (and with a straight no emotion face) "there's no metal touching" asked to be provided proof that nothing came up in his computer, and said they didnt have the correct diagnosing equipment for this specific car. Showed the sales manager a video so she could hear the noise and even she said herself that was not normal. They decided to keep the car overnight. Not sure what will come from this and do not know if this is related but according to google, these tuscon's are known for the "tick of death" which means shortly after, the engine fails. . .

I'm the original owner of a 2016 Tucson. Here are all the symptoms and issues with this vehicle: dealer recommended replacing the catalytic converter Dec 2019 and I had the part replaced.

The car continues to burn oil. Mechanics checked car again and no leaks was discovered. And still unable to determine why this car is burning oil. Mechanic is recommending a new engine. Also, the car will not accelerate accurately and hesitates at about 45 mph. There is a clicking noise when turning the steering wheel. The dealership says that does cause any problems but the part can be replaced. The drivers door sticks have to pull on the door handle 2-3 times before the door opens. Major engine issues,.

My vehicle has 105k miles. The engine needed to be replaced due to a faulty main bearing. I turned the vehicle on and the engine light was on. The manual says it's okay to drive, but to get it serviced. So I drive it to my mechanic and the engine starts making a strange ticking noise, almost turning off when I stop at a light. The mechanic and a third party inspector from my warranty company determine that it is an internal problem, a faulty main bearing.

My vehicle began making a clanking noise from the front of the car while I was driving, I pulled over to check what the noise was, when I stopped the vehicle I looked underneath and saw a fluid coming out, I was able to drive the car home but the clanking was still going then as I tried to go a little faster around 30mph the engine light came on, I pulled into my complex and the car completely died, I waited a few minutes and started the car up again no lights came on but there was still clanking coming from the front. Next morning I drove it up the street to my mechanic the car did the same thing but this time the engine light came on and the oil light was flickering, and as I pulled into the mechanic shop the car died while I was in mid turn. They told me there was a small oil leak but needed to open the engine to find out more. There was a recall on my vehicle so I took it to the Hyundai dealer to see if that was the cause they told me it was not, as I did research I found that Hyundai has two different cars with the same type of issue with the engine. Hyundai finally came with a diagnostic that it was my spun bearing that was the issue with the engine, which is the exact issue as the two other cars the sonata and santa fe from Hyundai with a recall. I have reached out to Hyundai manufacturing to inform them of the issue, they told me that the Hyundai dealer who did the diagnostic does not have to report these findings if they do not want to. I have seen complaints with my type of vehicle on the internet on carcomplaints. Com along with other forums online with this same exact issue on the Hyundai Tucson 2012.

Aug 11th my car started making a slight ticking noise, I made an appointment with Hyundai for service to find out about the noise. As I left the service department of williamsburg Hyundai the day I made the appointment, I asked the service attendant if he was sure the car was ok to drive, he assured me it would be okay. Approximately five miles down the road the engine started to vibrate amd shake so bad I had to pull over and the engine light came in for the first time since I have owned the 2012 Hyundai tuscon. I was able to turn around and drive the vehicle @25mph with hazard lights on, back to the dealership that was now closed. I filled out the information for the after hours drop off and left the car at the service garage. I received a call today that I needed a new motor!!!!!! there was no warning!! I maintenances my vehicle regularly, this should not have happened and it unacceptable.

I go to start my car in the morning and it is making a loud tapping noise the vehicle was stationary in my driveway. But as it warmed up it went away so I continued to drive to work it was fine all day but I figured I would let the dealership take a look at it since it's wasnt a pleasant noise. I drop the vehicle off and they said the oil is extremely low (I've only had this car for about a month) I had bought it from a dealership so I assumes all the fluids would be fine until I needed an oil change. Well they continued with the oil change and found metal shavings in the oil pan they then dropped the oil pan and found metal chunks. They told me the vehicle is still under the bumper to bumper warranty and that the engine needed to be replaced. I then asked around about why a vehicle this new would need the engine replaced and they said that Hyundai has a recall out for those engines that they tend to fail but I can not find anywhere that my vehicle has a recall. This has been the most inconvenient process the dealership has had my car for about a month and do not even have a eta for when the engine will come in.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning. Hyundai of kennesaw (2878 barrett lakes blvd, kennesaw, GA 30144, (678) 809-6990) indicated that there were no recall repairs needed before the vehicle was purchased. The contact was not informed that the vehicle was included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v063000 (engine and engine cooling). The vehicle was towed to a facility. An independent mechanic informed the contact to check with the manufacturer for a recall campaign because they did not have the tools to repair the vehicle. The contact also heard a ticking noise, which could indicate that a rod may have fractured and the engine seized. The vehicle was towed to peacock Hyundai brunswick (5400 altama Ave #1, brunswick, GA 31525, (912) 304-0461) for further diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.

I was driving my Hyundai small SUV leaving the gym and the vehicle started to not want to pull. I then started to make a click sound then died. Its been to 2 shops the first one laughed at me. Telling me a engine would be 4 to 6 thousand and he would not work on it. The second one asked has there been a recall because of how it stop working and due to the fact the web is full of stories of them breaking down. The mileage is 101000.

105,000 miles and the engine on my (just paid off) Hyundai Tucson GLS 2. 4l threw a main rod bearing. The engine is blown and needs to be replaced. I was driving down the interstate at 65 miles per hour in the center lane traveling from las vegas to California. The vehicle started to decelerate then a loud ticking sound was produced then the tick grew into a very loud (engine coming apart from the inside sound) at that moment I almost lost control of the vehicle while trying to maneuver through traffic at speed. This is a major issue ladies and gentlemen. "fix it" I've never missed an oil change I happen to be mechanic. This same engine in two other Hyundai's for the same year have been recalled except for the Tucson? why not? estimated cost of repairs is in the range of 5,000. 00 -6,500. 00 I can buy a used Honda accord that will run forever at that price. . I'm very disappointed in Hyundai at this point. They do not take proper care of their reputation or products let alone the consumer.

"takata recall" as my 2012 Hyundai Tucson reached 100,000 miles my transmission went out and left me stranded. I had a rebuilt transmission put in, that was purchased from the dealership. Now I am at 132,000 miles and my engine is knocking. The knocking gets loud during acceleration, and has quickly gone from a ticking sound on the front passenger side of the vehicle to a loud knock. My mechanic is saying that there is no coming back from this, the engine will need to be replaced. Oil changes are done on time, there is oil in the car now but a rod is knocking loudly. This car will have been purchased twice once I have put all the repairs into it that really shouldn't need to be put into a car at this stage of it's life.

July 2018, tried to pass a car at about 40 mph (speed limit on the road was 50 mph) and my Tucson wouldn't accelerate. I gradually pushed the gas pedal to the floor and it stopped accelerating at about 50, but was making this awful winding noise like it was trying to shift gears but couldn't. At this point I'm playing chicken with the car I tried to pass, and there's another car coming towards me. I finally go past the car and started pulling over on the side of the road and all of my dashboard lights came on and the engine is still winding and making noises. I turned the car off and tried to restart. It sputtered at 1st, but did start. I went home, but after that the engine was making awful winding, ticking, and clanking noises. I brought it into the dealer that services my vehicle and after being there for several days, they said it was the engine rod bearing and I needed a new engine. Luckily I have a third party warranty that is covering it, but after doing some research I see that this is a huge issue for Hyundai Tucson owners and that Hyundai had this same issue with their sonatas. . Apparently the sonatas have a recall for this same issue but not the Tucson. As of today, my car is still at the dealer and Hyundai has pushed the eta of my motor out to November, but this is the 2nd delay and I'm not so sure that it will be ready next month after reading all of the stories of others that have had their Tucsons at the dealers since April and may and keep getting their ets's for their engines pushed back.

Driving on freeway, on vacation, when heard clacking noise. Became worse and all of a sudden the engine quit and the engine light came on. Towed to repair shop. Told us the engine would need to be replaced. Not sure if true, but we were told that this is the same engine that was recalled in the sonatas (we also have a sonata that had the recall). Questioning why the motors on all vehicles with that engine were not recalled. Seems the problem is with the motor, not the engine?!?!.

On 05/30/18, when arriving on campus grounds at my place of employment my vehicle started making clanking noises, the engine light turned on, and the vehicle started to decelerate. When I parked it, it stalled and died in the spot. I contacted the dealership and had it towed to them. After 2 days, the dealership informed the engine need to be replaced and Hyundai was going to pay for it. The dealership informed me I had to pay $5/day for a rental vehicle of their choosing. Since that day, I have not received any information regarding my vehicle and I am still in the rental. The vehicle is still under warranty and when I questioned the the warranty, the dealership would not provide me a copy of it.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced for an oil change. After the oil change, a clucking noise was heard coming from the engine compartment when starting the vehicle and while depressing the accelerator pedal. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to Hyundai of perryville (343 n perryville rd, rockford, IL 61107, (815) 229-0089) to inquire of open recalls and the reason for the clucking nosie. The contact was informed that there were no open recalls and that there would be a diagnostic fee to diagnosis the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was not diagnosed due to the diagnostic fee. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 101,000.

At about 99,000 miles my Hyundai tuscon began making a ticking noise in the engine. It progressively has gotten worse. Now at 103,000 it is much louder and I'm being told it is a lifter problem. I'm reading about recalls on the 2. 0 motor but tuscon not included with the santa fe and sonata and many other people having the same issue.

While traveling on the highway my husband and I started to hear a loud clanking noise under our hood. We barely made it off the next exit, with vehicles having to quickly go around us because our speed was slowing down and then vehicle died, we were stranded in the heat on the side of the road with our dogs. After speaking with Hyundai corporate they told us to have it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. We did and a case was opened with Hyundai. It was diagnosed at the Hyundai dealership as premature engine failure due to no fault of ours but the warranty department denied our claim because we are second owners. The engine in our car has been recalled in other models but Hyundai is trying to hide the fact that it extends to the Tucson. It is extremely dangerous to not recall and inform all Hyundai owners with this particular engine to take it in for repair immediately! the engine will fail with no warning lights and fast, usually on the highway. It fails at very low miles when you would least expect an engine to fail. It is a huge safety concern for the owners and other drivers on the road.

The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. While driving 30 mph, a popping sound emitted from underneath the vehicle and it stalled without warning. The contact coasted over to the side of the road and was informed that the vehicle was on fire. The fire department extinguished the fire. A police report was not filed and no injuries were sustained. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.

Traveling straight on interstate, spontaneously lost all power to vehicle after a loud metal crunching sound. Hardly was able to drift out of interstate traffic on to shoulder of road. I was unable to turn ignition over, oil and engine caution lights were on. No visible issues or leaks from engine. One owner vehicle, traveled mostly highway miles, had regular maintenance from dealer ship where purchased from, and only had 70776 miles on a 2012 model.

Correction to complaint number:11110257 driving on freeway, on vacation, when heard clacking noise. Became worse and all of a sudden the engine quit and the engine light came on. Towed to repair shop. Told us the engine needed replaced. Not sure if true, but we have been told that this is the same engine that was recalled in the sonatas (we have a sonata that had the recall). Questioning why the motors on all vehicles with that engine were not recalled. Seems the problem is with the engine, not the vehicle.
