A week before going on vacation, I just had an inspection and oil change done. The car passed inspection without issue. I've had this vehicle serviced on time since I bought it in 2015. I never had any issues with the car prior to this. I was reaching the end of an 8 hour drive with the car. We just crossed the PA state line. I was driving in the passing lane on the interstate, getting up to speed, and I just hit 60 mph when the car made a rattling noise and I was not able to accelerate past 60 mph. We were able to pull over to the shoulder. The check engine light came on. We proceeded to turn the car off and check the oil which was fine. There was no smoke coming from the vehicle. We attempted to restart the car but the engine just kept turning over. We waited an hour for a tow truck and during the short amount of time the car lost all power. We had it towed to a Hyundai dealership where they proceeded to tell us the car engine was blown and it would need to be replaced. However, there was no existing refurbished engines in the county we were in or where we live. My car now continues to sit at the Hyundai dealership for the past 2 weeks awaiting till I have the means to tow it up to where I live. Now I am stuck with no car and still money to owe on the loan.
My car started making a rattling noise during acceleration at around 75,000 miles. Took it in June 11, 2018 for a diagnostic, and it is engine failure due to manufacturer defect. Hyundai is covering the repair, but still, as of September 21, 2018 does not have the part available and has no eta. At least hundreds of others on the internet are experiencing the same problem with this model year, and some have been waiting on parts for 4 months or longer. No recalls have been issued.
Engine blown at mileage 129653. While driving on interstate in pennsylvania, engine seemed to lose power at 60 mph, in heavy traffic. Started to shutter and engine made a lot of noise, bad rattle sound. Engine locked up. I coasted to stop on side of road. On June 30,2017. Vehicle was towed to ciocca Hyundai in quakertown PA, where I was told engine had blown. Had to have engine replaced$5237. 34 cost. Took month to find good replacement engine as this was same engine type I was told as sante fe and accords on recall. I personally believe the Tucsons engine should be recalled also.
