The vehicle had been well maintained. Have receipts for most all services. At around 90,000 miles, the car started "burning oil" and needed frequent top offs. At 108,000 miles, I have car serviced and started a road trip. In less than 40 miles, it started to shudder and miss fire on the interstate. Causing loss of power and control. Fortunately, I was able to pull over safely off interstate 40. I did not drive further and had car towed back to town. At dealership, I was told "engine failure" due to 2nd cylinder loss of compression, and new engine is only option. I was denied any service under warranty due to being over 100,000 miles. The dealership will not work with me on variance or goodwill gesture. I have seen in online forums that this is happening to other owners. The vehicle was well maintained and never gave any hint of the pending failure. I am filing this as formal complaint and safety hazard with this vehicle.
Excessive oil consumption resulted in engine failure with out warning lights appearing. Driving down the road, the engine stopped running, battery, oil and check engine lights appeared. The car rolled to a stop on the shoulder of the road. The car then would not restart, but had power and battery life left due to the battery being 1 yr old. The car had to be towed to a mechanic. The mechanic cited engine failure and said it was due to oil consumption. The oil had large amount of metal in it despite it having 128k miles on it.
Bought car at 690000 miles , had oil changed at dealer never used a drop. After oil change started using oil, a quart about every 250 miles, started oil consumption test today at 75667 miles.
On regular oil change the mechanic - technician shop commented to me on 11/15/2020 that the Hyundai Tucson 2016 4fwd was 2 bottle of oil low. The mechanics inspected for any leaks. They told me that come back two weeks for free refilled the oil again. On December 20, 2020 and January 20,2021. On the next oil replacement, the same shop indicated that the engine for sure of my Hyundai Tucson 2016 4dfwd was burning oil, for concern that they think in potential future I will need to remplace gasket or head gasket because the quantity of oil is currently burnt. I want to make sure that the vehicle is been maintained well and inspected every miles according to the Hyundai recommendation. Please don't hesitate to contact me and help me out for this solution and potential hundreds people out there due to is not any recall ban for this type of vehicle yet.
This evening me and my fianc� were driving 45mph down hill on a straight road to get christmas gifts, and all of a sudden out of no where the engine just died/stalled (no warning/dashboard lights). Thank god we were able to coast into a gas station and get off the road safely. The car wouldn't even turn over, so my fianc� checked the oil and it was low. The car doesn't leak oil and we do oil changes every 3,000 miles religiously. We carry extra oil in case an oil warning light appears so we added oil to correct fill level. To no luck the car still wouldn't turn over. As it is Saturday night and tomorrow being Sunday we have to wait till Monday morning to get the car to a Hyundai dealer to be assessed by them. Hopefully they will come to the conclusion that the car burns oil out of no where and that the cars oil warning/pressure light is malfunctioning/faulty. In finding that I am hoping the dealer will honor my warranty and replace my engine.
The engine is burning oil, there are no leaks and no dashboard warning lights. On 12/5/19, mechanic found a dry dip stick and removed less than 1 quart oil from the engine and examined for leaks. Oil changes are in regular 5,000-6,000 intervals using synthetic 5w30 oil and this issue was not found at the last oil change on 4/11/19. Oil was checked on 12/8/19 and the oil below is already below full.
Hyundai Tucson engine the vehicle is burning excess amounts of oil. The rate of engine oil loss is over one quart per 500 miles. My mechanic tells me his evaluation is the vehicle's turbo unit causes the engine to run very hot, and the internal seals are breaking down, causing oil to mix with the fuel. The solution is an engine rebuild, which will cost over $3,000. Such a rebuild will result in the same issue arising again after the vehicle is in use for a period of time. The manufacturer has refused to address the issue, as I have corresponded with them about it. The issue is generic to all Hyundai Tucsons with 1. 6 litre turbocharged engine. My mechanic has researched the issue, and says it occurs in all Hyundai Tucson vehicles with this engine configuration. There are other issues related to build quality, transmission, and other components, but this issue of the defective engine design is obviously the most important. The dealer that sold me this vehicle knew of this condition and did not disclose it at the time of sale, and represented that the engine was in sound working order.
