Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2012 Hyundai Tucson

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.

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 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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
