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.
