On 5/10/2020, check engine light went on, engine sputtered, we were able to exit freeway and pull over and by that time, car was shaking very hard. Towed to mechanic, car requires engine overhaul. Car then towed to Hyundai dealership, car needs a full engine rebuild. I have maintained my car with oil changes and the car has 100086 miles. There are numerous reports of failure of the theta ii 2. 4 liter engines, which my car has, yet no recall issues. Mechanic said parts alone will be around $6000 dollars, if you add labor it's probably more than the car is worth. I am concerned that there is a defect in the engine that poses a risk to life. A few months prior, this car also had a complete failure (lost all power) on the freeway.
Was driving about 30 mph on a busy 4 lane street, my car stalled within a half a mile without any warning. After the engine stopped, my check engine light and oil came on. Was towed to mechanic where he stated engine died related to a piston bearing. My car had oil, but was due for an oil change. My car is been at Hyundai for a week with no answers or resolutions.

Engine went off-time and lost all compression in each cylinder. Check engine light came on 3/8/19, car ran ok through 3/11/19, then had power issues. It would not start on 3/12/19 and has not been run since. Both a private mechanic and the local dealership confirmed the timing issue and the loss of compression. The car has 83k miles.
Started my car in the morning and it took a little longer to crank before starting. Drove it half a mile and kind of noticed decrease in performance then starting up a hill and just forget about it. Very very slow. At the top of the hill the check engine light popped on and at that point I was already looking for a safe place to pull over. Drove an additional 1/10th of a mile to pull over (mostly cruised since it was not working right) and turned the car off immediately. Called to get it towed and tried to turn it on. It sounded like the engine was clunking so I just stopped trying. At this point the Hyundai dealership is saying the timing chain is messed up and engine failure which is very very common with the Tucson. Had right above 67000 on the car.
