Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2016 Hyundai Tucson

Unexpected check engine and engine oil pressure lights came. There was a sudden knocking noise coming from the front/engine area so I pulled the vehicle over to the side of the highway to turn off. Turned the vehicle back on and was not able to accelerate. Brought vehicle to nearest Hyundai dealership and was told the engine was completely blown.

While drive my car started marking a loud knocking noise and jumping back and forth and the oil came on. I pulled over and called my son. He came and checked it out, there was no oil in it. He put oil in and and I tried to drive home. The car had no power and shut down on me and my son had to tow me home. The engine light has came on 50 times and in the last year and them goes off. I took it to dealer ship 10 different times while the light was on, usually it goes off before I get there. They always claimed there was not a problem and said I got bad gas in it.

The incident occurred to me while I was 7 hours from home. I was stopped at a stop sign on a curve in the road. When clear, I accelerated and as I turned and merged into the road, the car started making a loud knocking noise and lost power as I was going up hill. Right before I lost all power, the oil light flashed briefly and the engine light came on. I restarted the car and again heard a loud knocking noise but was able to pull over to the side of the road. As soon as I slowed and stopped it died again. I ended up getting towed to the Hyundai dealer. The next day I called and they let me know I had "thrown a rod and had bearing damage". They said I need a new engine and quoted me $12,800. I have provided all service records to them which prove that I have maintained the vehicle with oil changes and major services done at Hyundai as well as valvoline. Their initial offer to me was they would cover 50% of the repair. My service advisor countered them with 90% and their final offer was to cover 60% and no rental - even being 7 hours from home. Before this incident occurred, I have not been able to open my rear passenger door in months due to needing a new actuator. I also let them know that I believed there was electrical issues because my tail light was always going out even after being replaced. I was dismissed and told that I had a faulty bulb. Same day after getting replaced, I was again getting that "check brake light" message. I believe there is a recall that I do not qualify for for this issue. After much research, I have found engine failure is a major problem with Hyundai with many people on their 2nd and 3rd engines, including 2 people in my own family. I am extremely disappointed in the way Hyundai is handling this situation and I will no longer be a Hyundai customer. Please let me know if I can provide any further information. Thank you!.

While driving on October 31st our car starting making a loud knocking sound but the engine light did not come on so we thought maybe something got stuck on the bottom but nothing was there. On Nov 1st the oil light came on so we went to get the oil changed. On the way the check engine light came on and shortly after the knocking sound got worse. When the sound got worse the car would no longer accelerate no matter how hard I pressed the peddle. We assumed it was the battery and got a replacement but the issue didn't go away. I was able to coast to a place for an oil change but after that the problem was even worse. I was on the highway with my kids in the car when the car completely gave out, it would no longer start. When I turned the key you can hear the engine wanting to turn on bit it never does. I had it towed to a mechanic the same day and he was able to look at it today (Nov 1st). He said the motor was completely shot and the car was unusable. We are about 1200 over the warranty so the dealship will not help us. There was no previous warning that anything was wrong with the car and it was extremely dangerous for the car to give out on the highway without notice. Now we are stuck with the expense while hyu youndai does nothing about checking the check engine light. After reading other complaints that are way too similar to mine, this needs to be looked into.

On October 30 2020, driving home from work at 65 mph, my engine was making loud banging/knocking noises. Got it to my mechanic who was nearby and he stated motor is bad. Something broke inside topside of motor. Lots of metal shavings in the oil, possibly leading to turbo damage too. I have my oil changed about 5 times a year. No reason for premature engine failure at 118000 miles of highway driving. Hyundai won't honor fix due to outside of 100000 mile warranty. Saw cnbc news report on recent fines on Hyundai and kia. I need my engine replaced!.

It started making load knocking noises and lost power while driving on the highway.

Tl the contact owns a 2016 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving 20 mph, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine with the check engine warning light illuminated. Due to the failure, the contact had the vehicle initially towed to the residence where an independent mechanic informed her that the engine ceased. The contact had the vehicle towed to bob rohrman's indy Hyundai (7101 e washington st, indianapolis, in 46219) and was diagnosed with engine failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

Got this car at the dealership in July last year. A few weeks before this happened you would notice a hesitation from the car to move forward when you press the gas pedal whiles driving on the road. The engine began to make loud knocking noises one morning and broke down while driving on the street. Got it towed to a Hyundai service shop and they are talking about making a "goodwill" repair which will end up costing $4800. I have read many complaints noted from the 2016 Tucson owners who experienced the same issues with their cars. This is obviously a manufacturing defect. The vehicle has been recalled before for a Tucson secondary hood latch recall campaign.
