36 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/03/2023

Constantly have to get oil changes. Initially when I would be due for another oil change, the mechanic mentions there is no oil. I started to come sooner than the due date and mileage and same issue. Oil is burning quickly. Car is stuttering and jerky on acceleration, but my car is not apart of that recall. The car headlights continues to change on it on and filters through the light settings on it’s on at random times.

37 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 10/19/2023

The car started to have problems with acceleration do not accelerate more than 60 miles per hour and turned on the signal the engine and to get to 60 mph it goes slow little by little without strength since it only reaches 2000 rpm it does not go higher than there. In addition, all the lights on the blackboard came on, which means that I can't tell if there is something wrong with the car or not because everything is on. The proximity sensors don't work, and I get the code for engine is p1326 and the anti-lock brake system the computer show the code c1211-02, c1207-02, c1210-02, c1208-02 y c1209-01. I took it to the Hyundai agency in miami lake where I bought it and where they told me that the car had 10 years or 100,000 miles of warranty and when I arrived the person who received me without passing the car to diagnosis or anything told me that repair costs you $700,00 and tells me that to my warranty covers the engine, the engine has to be completely damaged; I explained to her the engine was in bad shape that it was better to do the repair than to change an entire engine if it was still being used, but she was still in the same negative until she left. I need to make this report because I didn't have any help from the Hyundai that sold me the car and which is still under a factory warranty. I consider this a violation and abuse of consumer rights by deceiving the american people with a guarantee that they then do not want to fulfill.

39 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/16/2023

Structure issue, white paint is peeling off in chunks on hood, roof, and doors. There is a paint recall involving other Hyundai vehicles of the same year and color. I am tired of having exposed unprotected metal being to rust and ruin the integrity of the part.

40 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2023

Rear passenger door will not open without manually adjusting the internal door handle components with a screwdriver (or similar tool). This poses a huge safety risk, trapping a passenger in the vehicle. I am in the process of having the door repaired, but this issue has been recalled on other models and the cost of repair should not be on the consumer, since it is a known defect.

41 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2023

Vehicle caught fire while driving despite recall fixes. Vehicle was serviced by a dealership a week prior to the incident. While driving the abs and other lights on the dash starting flashing, the steering was started to go out then smoke started coming into the car vents inside the vehicle. While I was not injured my only saving grace was that I was already in the left lane during rush hour traffic. The vehicle was inspected by both insurance as well as a Hyundai USA representative, the Hyundai representative would not state the cause of the incident citing "proprietary information". The vehicle is a total loss. There was not any crash involved to ignite a fire.

The 2017 Hyundai Tucson will trap you inside the car. The doors will work intermittently and other times they simply will not open. Even when the car is unlocked. This was recalled on certain models and years but not this one. Huge safety concern being trapped inside the car or stuck outside car.

My car has been using extreme amount of oil and they did a combustion test. Who knows if they did it right. Every few hundred miles after all, and I took it to Hyundai and barnes crossing tupalo mississippi. They say they do have to hook it up to $286 to see if what’s wrong but it is using all a lot of oil. They refused to check mine and refused to fix the problem when it gets low of oil, it clicks in the engine. It also has a vacuum leak and they won’t fix see it without hooking it up and charging me. It is still under 100,000 miles I have a card to show warranty and I am under warranty. What do I do now to get this car fixed very dissatisfied and they are warning me to buy another, no way they don’t stand beside their cars. Thank you so much for your time. I am still waiting to get this engine fixed. Also, black is in tail pipe like oil. Help please! I’ve called corporate two times on them and I’ve had to called and ar and still under warranty but they still won’t fixit. Cooperate suggested maybe going to another Hyundai dealership. What is your opinion?.

49 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 03/15/2023

My vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas - also I am low on oil and I’m not due for an oil change, meaning there is an oil consumption issue with the engine. Something is wrong with the engine/oil.

50 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2023

It's like the transmission has hesitation before it decides to go. I step on the gas and it doesn't go right away, it takes a couple seconds and then the rpms go up really high. There has been no accident but this has happened many times.

51 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 02/08/2023

Is there anything being done to Hyundai for all of the vehicles being stolen.

54 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2023

Engine fail, no warning till it happened, her car just stopped at night in the middle of the road while she was driving, she then smelled something burning and got right out of the car and called a tow truck. The car was towed to a Hyundai dealership where we were later told it was an engine block, and the car was basically burning gas. Cars been in the shop since January because the engine had to be shipped in parts from overseas. When the new engine had finally arrived, they took the old engine out and saw that the pistons headshot shrapnel through the starter and through this turbo part, which is also now on back order. I do not know if the vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, or the police. I feel very uneasy about the safety of this vehicle given everything that’s happened and even though it’s showing that it’s not on the recall list from what I’m reading and what I understand everything that’s happened the vehicle should’ve been recalled. With the new findings of the shrapnel shooting through the car knowing that that could’ve been a catastrophic incident I could’ve killed my daughter is very unsettling. The car was purchased just under five months before this happened.

2022-1-09 left the house to run errands and noticed the car seemed sluggish when I stepped on the gas to accelerate. I'd actually felt like this may have been happening for some time but it is a "sport" and it always felt a little funky when you accelerrated. It was blistery cold so my initial thought was I left too quickly and the vehicle maybe needed time to warm up. It felt like the engine didn't either seem to be shifting to a higher gear, or getting enough power to accelerate which was very concerning as this happened as I pulled out onto a busier road, yet couldn't accelerate. I made it to my first stop but called my husband to express concern something seems off with the vehicle. I told him I would likely skip my errands and come home for him to take a look. After my stop, I started the Tucson up to head home - and now the check engine light came on (solid)! apparently flashing check engine is more serious? I was able to make the drive home to unload groceries but the whole ride home I couldn't accelerate properly so it was a scary drive home, I drove slowly on backroads and used my flashers to get home safely. We immediately called the Hyundai dealer near us which closed. Called four times the next am as we needed whatever was going on fixed quickly. Once the vehicle was at the dealer, we learned it had complete transmission failure. Thankfully it appears this is under warranty. It is still at the dealer as it needed to get an inspector to come out to confirm it was transmission failure (which has now been confirmed 10 days later).

56 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 12/29/2022

This car has a the 7 speed dct. This transmission is very unsafe. I have been fighting with the transmission losing power and being jerky for the last year or so. After looking online I found that everyone with this transmission is having the issue. You never know when you will have power and it has almost got me into a major accident several times. There was a class action lawsuit agains Hyundai in 2016 for the dct transmission and they Hyundai lost. Yet they still put the same unsafe transmission in the 2017 and said they fixed it. Hyundai needs to be held accountable for lying to the consumer as well as putting the consumer in an unsafe situation.

57 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 11/23/2022

My vehicle was broken into on Nov. 17, 2022 and thieves attempted to take the vehicle after smashing the back passenger window and gaining access. The vehicle alarmed once they either attempted to either open the drivers side door or start the vehicle. Police were called and completed a report on scene. On Nov. 23, a thief returned and gained access to the vehicle by shattering the glass on the back driver side of the vehicle before getting inside and driving off in the vehicle. I reported the vehicle stolen to police and the vehicle was recovered later that evening. On Nov. 25 I went to the tow yard where the car was taken to retrieve my belongings and observe and record the damage. The entire steering column was stripped down and damaged which is how the thief was able to start it. There are highly circulated videos on social media platforms showing criminals or would be criminals how to do this. It is now also known that they are targeting specifically kias and Hyundais due to Hyundai manufacturing cars between 2016-2020 without immobilizers. My make and model being one of them and therefore making me a target. Not only that but the cars are being taken and used for joy rides, as mine was, or used in crimes. My car sustained additional damage as it was crashed into another vehicle during the thieves joyride before they ultimately jumped out of the car and abandoned it in an intersection. I was targeted, my livelihood put in jeopardy and if the car is fixable I will still be in harm's way once the repairs are completed. Hyundai needs to be held accountable as there is no way I would have purchased this vehicle knowing that the car was missing a major safety and anti-theft component. Further, why were they allowed to manufacture and sell these cars without such an important component??.

Excessive oil consumption causing engine failures. Excessive engine oil consumption, will also shorten the service life of, oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, spark plugs and much more. All which I have had to replace since buying vehicle used in may 2021. This vehicle is not on the vehicle engine replacement recall campaign and I am not sure why. There is obviously a major engine manufacturing problem. Hyundai should be responsible for manufacturing problems and they also should do what it takes to fix the problem. My request: for Hyundai to reimburse me the money I have spent fixing, repairing and money spent on oil to operate this vehicle. As all the information shows, this is a manufacturing issue with the engine and no vehicle should consume/burn this much oil. It has been proven that excessive oil consumption causes engine and parts failures. There are no leaks detected either by the dealership or repair shops. Frequently having an oil change doesn’t change anything. I had an oil change (yes I have all receipts of repairs) less than a month ago and I have already had to put in 2 quarts of oil.

61 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/23/2022

The transmission consistently slips, or does not engage. It sputters, jerks, or simply does not go when the accelerator is depressed. One incident was so bad that when it finally engaged, it threw me back against my seat then sputtered and moved ahead slowly, all while merging into traffic. Very dangerous!.

We are getting a knock sensor error & oil consumption issue. So last year I had a few recalls on my car, I took it to the dealer for then to do the updates. One of the recalls was the knock sensor. Also last year, the check engine light come on and tires plus said it was my knock sensor. Tires plus cleared the code and it was fine until I had an oil change due this month I still had 3000 miles before it was due and the check engine light came on again, but this time I couldn't drive over 20 mph. I had to get it towed to a mechanic in collegeville. His diagnostics was it was the knock sensor, he told me that Hyundai knows this is a problem but won’t fix it until it presents a problem. That being said the collegeville mechanic said its called a quiet recall. When I called Hyundai corp. Recall center they told me that they don’t recognize quiet recalls. I had an appointment with the springfield Hyundai Aug. 3, 2023 they would even look at it because the code was cleared but I called them first when it happened to get it towed there and they push the appointment back 3 weeks. I couldn't wait I need to get to work. I also recently 9/18/2023 conicelli Hyundai and the guy told me when I got there that they have a whole lot full of Hyundai's that need oil consumption test and would be able to look at my care un till March of 2024 that I have to take it back to where I bought it. Hyundai and kia know of this issue but wont fix. Why? I hope you can help me because I'm at a loss here and I have only had this car for 2 yrs I should be having this issue. I take good care if my car.

64 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2022

Rear passenger door will not open from either inside or outside. You can hear the lock click and the latch moves to unlocked but the door will not open when handle is pulled. This is a huge safety issue as anyone in the back seat cannot get out in case of an emergency and no one on the outside can get in! the issue began on 7/13/22 when the respective door seemed to "stick" but opened. On 7/14/22 it would not open at all from either outside or by pushing from inside. I called the dealership and was told because my car was 5 years and 2 months old (but less than 60,000) it no longer fell under the manufacturers warranty. This is not a wear and tear issue. This is a complete safety issue that needs to be considered for a recall and my own research has shown that this is a known issue with Hyundai vehicles lock actuators.

65 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2022

Car has randomly and completely shut down while driving (electrical components flash on the interior) with no ability to accelerate on four different incidences on 05/18/22, 05/19/22, 05/27/22 and 06/17/22. Requested an appointment at my dealership to have the car inspected on 06/01/22 but was called 2. 5 hours before the appointment on 06/18/22and informed that they could not inspect on the day I had selected. Without the ability to accelerate, had to coast to the side of the road to stop. To reset the vehicle, the vehicle has to be placed in park, shut off, and restarted. Three of these instances were in the city with very little room to pull over and one instance was on the highway at 65 mph and I had to navigate across two different lanes of traffic without the ability to accelerate. There have been no warning signs before the instances occurred.

66 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/21/2022

The rear passenger door is unable to be opened from either the inside or outside. The door is unlocked and unless I push on it from the outside first, it can not be opened.

67 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/14/2022

Without warning, my car stalled and came to a stop while I was driving it. No warning lights had come on prior to the incident, but several came on after it stopped. I put the vehicle in park and attempted to restart it, and even though the start button lights indicated the the car was on, the engine would not start again. This is a safety issue because the car just stalled with no warning and I was not able to move it anywhere. If I had been on a highway or making a left turn, my children and I would have been seriously injured or killed. The car has been at the dealership since the incident, almost a week, and they have not yet looked at it or told me what is wrong with it. I have left 3 messages for the general manager and they have not responded.

68 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2022

Myself, like others I have seen report the issue. The door (for me driver side front) will not open from the outside latch after door is unlocked. Can only open door from inside latch.

69 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/06/2022

While driving on the highway the vehicle would not increase speed after making a complete stop at a traffic light when pressing the gas pedal. While trying to back into a parking spot the vehicle would not go in reverse after shifting the vehicle into reverse and lastly the vehicle would not budge/move in neutral or any other gear. No warning lights came on. The dealership Hyundai of south brunswick, NJ confirmed the vehicle locked up when the tow truck driver was trying to get it off the flatbed and that the transmission is shot and needs to be replaced.

70 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/04/2022

Door handle latch will not open door from inside or out due to either defective latch or cable. This is a very dangerous condition for occupant that could become trapped and unable to escape vehicle. Seems that there are multiple reports of this happening. I already had one such latch replaced while my vehicle was still under warranty now another has failed. Thankfully this was not an emergency situation.
