Hyundai Tucson 2. 0l (nu gdi) is leaking engine oil between engine and transmision. Vehicle previously had the same condition and it was sent to dealership around November 2019, they removed the transmission and installed a new crankshaft oil seal. Previous oil change maintentance was done by a Hyundai dealer and they didn't notify the issue. Now when I checked the engine and touched the area, I got engine oil. Now I will check how I can send the car to the dealership because I'm having issues with the warranty of the car because if I go to another Hyundai dealership and they check that the car wasn't bought with them, they gime me a extremelly long date to check the car after that they won't fix. Also they don't like to get warranty claims or recalls during weekends. And to make matters worse the dealer where I bought it brand new and completed the warranty claim (crankshaft seal) has changed the ownership and they say that the car records doesn't appear in their systems. I would never buy another car from this company again.
Oil pan leak: 2. 0l nu gdi engine is starting to leak oil in the oil pan. Only 38,900 miles. Previous engine oil was made by the dealer and no notice about the issue mas made. I will go to the dealer and complain because of this.
While drivng on the 5n freeway in the fast lane, my car seized. I had enough momentum to get on the right shoulder. Warning light said nothing of oil leak and gave me the tpms warning (tire pressure). Diagnosis: oil plug fell out of oil pan, all oil leaked and engine was ruined. Weeks later, I recieve a "new" engine and they do not know why the plug fell out. If it was loose, it would have fell out quicker than 600 miles after the oil was serviced. Perhaps it was the wrong size oil plug, we wont know because it fell out. Recall is for 2011-2013 models. . . . Perhaps the 2017 has same issues!!! NHTSA's campaign number: 19v063. 120,000 Hyundai Tucson suvs from the 2011 to 2013 model years. The oil pan may have been improperly sealed during engine production. As a result, an oil leak could develop and lead to engine damage, the engine stalling, or even a fire, NHTSA says.
