Engine Knocking Noise problems of the 2018 Hyundai Tucson

Was driving on highway and engine started making a knocking noise for what seemed like 10 seconds then a loud boom and blew dark smoke out the back and engine stopped. I shifted into neutral and coasted off the freeway. Rear windshield and tailgate were covered in oil, at least it was clean, I had changed it a few days prior. Towed to shop and once on the lift the rod sticking out through the block was a shock to say the least. 14 months ago I replaced the engine after severe oil leaks led to the block warping. That was $6000 that Hyundai declined to cover. Put a used theta engine in and everything was good until this. Obviously Hyundai isn't going to cover this either. Have had the car for two years and still owe over $10k on loan. I'm about to pay for another theta engine that is coming from the same model year as the previous two. I feel insane doing this, like I'm asking for it to happen again but no other options.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. We heard knocking noise in the engine while driving at night and then the car failed to accelerate. We were able to get to the side of the road without crashing. We had it towed to a shop. The shop says that the engine had knocking noise were rod bearings and there was coolant/antifreeze in the engine block.

The contact owns a 2018 hyundia tuscon. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, a loud knocking noise was present coming from the engine compartment and the vehicle suddenly lost power and stalled. Moments later smoke and flames were present coming from the engine. The fire department was called to the scene and extinguished the flames. The vehicle was destroyed and towed away. A police and fire report was taken at the scene. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer len stoler located at 11275 reisterstown rd, owings mills, MD and the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,400. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly; 4 - VIN corrected, error in one position only (indicated by ! in suggested VIN), multiple matches found; 14 - unable to provide information for all the characters in the VIN. #vpic#.

I get oil changes quite frequently due to the mileage I put in a vehicle. I have 7 oil changes/tire rotations between November 2018 and November 2019. On November 13th 2019 my check engine like came on and at the same time my engine started making a knocking sound. Prior to this I had no indicators that anything was wrong. I immediately took it to the dealership and was informed that I need a new engine and that it's not covered under the warranty since I am the second owner. And that it's going to cost about $10,000 for a new engine which includes labor. Did I miss something here. My car is my livelihood and I have gotten every required maintenance. They said my car is burning through oil at a high rate of speed. There were zero signs of an oil leak and everything looked find other than the vehicle had no oil. Why didn't my vehicle alert me of this. Why wasn't there any indication until it was too late. Where the hell did all the oil go?? now I'm stuck with a high car payment for a vehicle I can not even drive plus because I need my car for my work I had to be let go from my job. Can't work without a vehicle can pay for $10,000 in repairs without a job and can't pay my car payment without working. I don't know what to do. This is just ridiculous especially since I have done everything Hyundai suggests as far as maintence (frequent oil changes and systems checks on a regular basis. Hyundai says �sorry there's nothing we can do for you, you have to pay to replace the engine. �.
