Engine Failure problems of the 2013 Hyundai Tucson

Firstof all I was never notified about the recalls which need to be completed. While I was driving on a highway the engine blew up and car broke down. There is a hole in the engine, I towed the car to a mechanic who told me that the issue with the engine occured because the recall was not completed. I towed the car to Hyundai in paramus where I bought the car. This dealer does not want to fix my car claiming I need to pay a diagnostic fee of $800. I advised them that I should not be responsibe for this fee as the engine failed due to manufacurer issue. They have my car for 2 weeks now and everytime I call they ask for money and hang up the phone. Recalls should be for free, its the law.

Complete engine failure verified by my mechanic. Recent recall of the Hyundai models did not include the Tucson and it should have. I feel this issue needs to be considered since it looks like I'm several of many out there with the same problem as the current class action suit against Hyundai. The Tucson should be included. Date of malfunction 12/12/2020. Just driving down a country road and heard a pop noise and that was it. Had it towed.

I would like to know why the 2013 Hyundai Tucson were not in the recall for the engine failure. Complaints on engine seizing up is the same as 2014 and 2015 same engine I wouldn't complain but just happen to me 7/11/2020 driving down highway engine seized up and looks like am stuck with it just doesn't make any sense to sit here and think about I don't have a vehicle and what happened was no fault of mine its just crazy how no one will take responsibility and fix it.

I was driving on the hwy ( approx 50 mph ) when the car completely shut down. Car would not turn over on the side of the road. Got towed home and tried to start the car again. Engine turned over but immediately started knocking very loud. Turned the engine off immediately. Towed the car to the local mechanic to verify my initial diagnosis. Complete engine failure at 50k miles.

While driving on the highway (at highway speed), the engine suddenly failed without warning, resulting in the vehicle to completely lose acceleration and operation. The failure of the engine was instant; no crank or response while attempting to restart vehicle several times. The vehicle was towed to a professional auto garage, and the diagnosis was prompt: complete engine failure due to back design. The oil was good, and all the components of the vehicle were in great shape according to the mechanics. The mileage on the vehicle is 72,000, and I have been the owner of the vehicle since June 2013. The vehicle was then towed from this auto garage to the Hyundai dealer, where the same diagnosis was confirmed. There needs to be a recall to include the Hyundai Tucson models from this same year, since the kia sportage, sorento, and Hyundai santa fe are already prompted as 'recall eligible' vehicles. The same symptoms that plague these other models apply to the Tucson as well. This almost cost me my life, and my confidence in this auto maker is completely absent after this incident.

The Hyundai Tucson has the theta 2 engine. This engine has already been recalled 4 metal shavings from the a deburring process causes the engine to have oil distribution problems resulting in engine failure for example a thrown rod. This is exactly what happened to my 2013 Hyundai Tucson with only 42000 plus miles on it. So why hasn't the Tucson been added to the recall list along with the sonata and santa fe, they both had the same exact engine in the same exact problems. Now I am stuck without a vehicle still having to make payments on, and battling Hyundai dealership of lithonia georgia, because they aren't willing to fix the issue due to an expired warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles. Warranty is not an issue at this point, because the engine has been recalled.

2013 Hyundai Tucson bought 10/30/17 with 31,000 miles on it. In 06/0?/18 the engine threw a rod. My sister was driving on the way to work when the car started making a lot of noise and shaking rapidly she had to pull over to the side of the road and call the police. The cop told her the engine threw a rod. Only 46,000 something miles on it. We change the oil ourselves because that was simple maintenance, and we do this with all our vehicles. But failure to show our oil change receipts has voided the warranty on the engine. I have done research and found out that the engine thetta ii has been recalled but on only certain types of Hyundai and kia models. Even though the engines are the same, and the complaints are the same, and the failures are the same, the Tucson needs to be added. We towed the vehicle to Hyundai dealership in lithonia georgia and they took one look at the oil dipstick and said the reason for the engine failure was because there was no oil. Now we have the vehicle sitting in our garage and we did further investigation and found a big hole on the engine block itself, that explains why Hyundai's dealership diagnosis would report no oil because all the oil drained out through the gaping hole in the engine. Hyundai dealership wants to charge us another $7,000 to replace the engine. Even though we have many members ( Hyundai theta ii engine failure facebook group) who have been waiting 6 months and ongoing for a replacement engine. They keep postponing because they have no engines because the engines have manufacturer defects causing a bearing to prematurely fail resulting in catastrophic engine failure. Now our 2013 Tucson sits in our garage while still making payments $16,000! they recently added 2011-2013 Tucson to the recall. For some reason our 2013 is not. ?!!.

2013 Hyundai Tucson engine failure. Driving on highway engine seized. Only 53,000 miles on car. Car was regularly serviced by dealer. Dealer to replace engine.

I am writing in response to the recent issues I am having with my 2013 Tucson. It is currently sitting (because it is unable to start) at a Hyundai dealership. I was told from Hyundai customer service to have it towed there due to the engine trouble I am having with the car, and did so on March 16, 2018. I do not feel that the complete engine failure is due to any negligence on my part. I have always kept up with regular maintenance on the car including oil changes. I chose to purchase a Hyundai because of their known reliability and safety. These are most important when choosing a vehicle to own, and I felt hyndai was top in both those categories. I have two young girls to keep safe. However hyndai has proven to not be. One moment I was able to drive my tuscon and then the next moment I am unable to start it and am looking at a cost to fix it at well over $5000. 00. Auto nation has looked at the car as has stated that there are complications with the cvvt gear and the timing chain. Hence the reason the car no longer can start and needs to be fixed. I feel that the engine problems need to be addressed and paid for by Hyundai due to manufacturer's error. I have tried to facilitate these issues by speaking directly with Hyundai customer service. Every time I have called, I have spoken to a different customer service representative and given a different case number. Despite explaining to a new person the details of the process I am going through, each representatives has had a different excuse as to what will happen in repairing my car. There has been no consistency on your end. My family and I have been loyal customers of Hyundai for years. In return, I would expect Hyundai to be available for assistance in this matter.
