Other cars get their engines replaced and get lifetime warranty. I got no repairs or extended warranty.

45 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 02/18/2022

56k ish miles on my car, 2nd owner. Oil pressure light flickered on and off about . 5 miles from home after 20 mile highway drive, steady on when pulled into driveway. Turned off car immediately. Have noticed excessive oil consumption but check and top off frequently. Topped off less than 200 miles prior. About halfway or less since last oil change mileage wise from what I recall. Checked oil and about halfway between bottom and top markers on dipstick. Took to dealer Monday (. 8 miles from home). Oil light did not come back on. Dropped off. Dealer said light came on shortly after driving. Said problem could be caused by “aftermarket” oil filter aka not a oem filter. Said would do oil & filter change to see if resolved. Yesterday (Thursday) said oil & filter change complete & oil light not on. Reiterated previously mentioned concern of engine failure and potential accident. Service advisor said Hyundai will not entertain engine replacement unless oil consumption gets documented. Oil consumption test to be completed after 1000 miles or until low oil levels noticed/oil pressure light illuminates. Will pick up tomorrow to see what happens. Engine is covered under newly extended warranty if failure occurs. Service advisor says nothing else was checked internally, spark plugs, etc. As this would incur engine being taken apart and extra charges prior to Hyundai “entertains” covering engine replacement etc. Although no failure has occurred yet I’m worried something will and it will result in something potentially catastrophic for not only the engine/car but myself.

52 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 11/24/2021

Acquired vehicle in November 2021, with 20,718 miles. I noticed a small knocking noise coming from engine area, but discounted any major problem due to the fact it only had 20k miles. After using the car for two weeks, and researching this engine knock noise, I discovered there is a long history of engine failures due to faulty internal engine components on this type of engine. I took it to the Hyundai dealer to diagnose the problem, and was informed the knock was normal and had past the “engine noise test”. They stated there is no open recalls for this vehicle, and that I should go back if the noise increases. I feel this vehicle is now unsafe to drive because the engine has to basically fail, and thus place my family’s safety at risk and even possibly cause an accident or engine fire, in order for it to be fixed by the dealer. I believe this model year and engine type needs to be investigated and be recalled, as many other vehicles with this same exact engine have had this same problem, resulting in total engine failures, near accidents and even fires. I have read there are even lawsuits on this dangerous engine defect.

Engine started knocking and vehicle went into limp mode as my daughter left highway for her exit . When Hyundai attempted to replace engine, discovered 4wd transfer case seized into transmission preventing removal of engine, replaced engine ,transmission, and transfer case. This is the same engine in the santa fe , and sonata which was recalled. Hyundai is still refusing to extend the recall to the Tucson too. So owners are not entitled to the extension on the extended warrantee. Due to them not wanting anybody to know about this defect in the motors that the Tucson share with their other models. The government should of stepped up and made Hyundai honor the extension to include the Tucson model too. For all Tucson owners are left in the cold with a vehicle worth shit since they are still having more problems with this 2. 4l motor.
