Driving normally then all of a sudden knocking sound from the engine and cant get vehicle moving at attempted speed. Vehicle shakes a bit, check engine light comes on then oil light comes on.
My fianc� was on his way to work when all of a sudden the car starts to stall. It put him in a very dangerous situation as he has just crossed over a bridge. This could have cause a car accident. After this happened the oil pressure light comes on and also the check engine light, and the engine starts making knocking noise. We have kept up with oil changes and maintenance, so why this happened is just unexplainable to us. Also our car only has 65,893 miles on it. So just how can this happen? so we brought it to multiple dealerships and they said it needs a new engine, something you definitely never want to hear.
I purchased this 2014 Hyundai Tucson as a second owner from a Hyundai dealership for my daughter in January of 2018 with 70,223 miles. Car had been inspected and serviced by the dealership Hyundai technicians. On 9/13/2019 while driving the vehicle started making loud banging noises from the engine and experienced difficulty shifting. Vehicle was towed to Hyundai dealership where we were told it had experienced "total engine failure" due to metal shavings throughout the engine and it would have to be replaced-my daughter had only put 23 thousand miles on it-the engine failed at 93000 miles. . The replacement could take up to 2 months-most likely due to numerous Tucson engine failures . There is a known problem with this engine-just check other sites on the internet. There is a recall with the same engine for sonatas, santa fe, and kia models but not Tucson.
Noticed an engine knocking noise and slight lurching of car after a cold start. Took it to the Hyundai dealership for diagnosis and maintenance and they told me I would need to replace my short block for five or six thousand dollars very soon or my engine would seize up. They mentioned that my car's symptoms were identical to those of the Hyundai models that have a recall for their engines, namely thick oil with debris in it. My 2014 Tucson uses the exact same engine as the one currently being recalled so I think it's just a matter of time until enough complaints accumulate that the Tucson is recognized as being effected by the same issue as the other models using this engine.
