Other Fuel System problem #1

Spark plugs have been replaced twice- fuel injectors cleaned and now I have another misfire in cylinder 3 and have to replace all four fuel injectors.

Other Fuel System problem #2

Had for a year. 6 months ago, started sputtering, surging, slowing and dying on a regular basis. Have had it shop at chapman used in Tucson, az and lawley Hyundai in sierra vista arizona 3 times. Chaan couldn't repair, so we went to lawley. The mechanism there keep saying they cannot reproduce! the engine malfunctions 3-4 time during any drive we do. Has been going on for 6 months.

Other Fuel System problem #3

I went to thompson automotive to finance a vehicle and within a month and half my engine blew. There were no engine lights, no lost of oil, no warning, no signs of any error, before this series of malfunctions took affect. I was on my way to the dealership and my car being slowing down to a complete stop as I was getting off the highway ramp. I was traveling at the speed of 25mph, when the car started to make loud noises that I never heard before that day, and completely shut down in front of a huge tractor trailer in traffic. The dealership has had my car since 6/7/24. Now the car has about 85,000 miles on it. I have to pay another $3,000 for my portion to get a new engine. Which is outrageous considering I just agreed to pay $19,990. I am highly disappointed that I lost my job and everything behind this horrific situation that actually feels like a set from the beginning. Now that I’m reading all the comments and unfortunate but very similar situation everyone is suffering from with the particular car. I can’t fathom why it’s still on the market to be purchase for consumers with these major and potentially deadly problems.

Other Fuel System problem #4

The vehicle is a 2020 Hyundai Tucson with awd. Current mileage of the vehicle is 58,309. In the last 10k miles, there have had 4 separate instances of a sustained flashing check engine light that has put the car into limp mode. Since the first instance, a knock sensor, catalytic converter, and spark plug coil, among other things, have been replaced. However, the issues persist and have yet to be resolved. The engine continues to misfire, resulting in dangerous driving situations. Most recently (5/24/24) the car went into limp mode on an interstate highway where the vehicle was unable to accelerate and could not exceed 2000 rpms. The code scanner read p1326 - glow relay short circuit. This was just a week after the vehicle was towed to mcgovern Hyundai in brockton, due to the car being in limp mode (5/17/24) and the vehicle was given a clean bill of health. I was told that there was no cause for concern and the code was cleared. I’m extremely concerned about this issue with the vehicle and don’t feel that it is safe to drive, especially when it loses power on the highway. The vehicle is insured, but has not been inspected by an insurer. Nor has the vehicle been inspected by police. The car has been inspected by the dealership, but that have not produced any findings. The car is certainly available for inspection upon request.

Other Fuel System problem #5

While I was driving my car on the highway I notice my back window was getting foggy and about 5 minute later all my indicators on my dashboard lift up and my car went dead trying to get off the highway ramp and smoke came out of the hood, this was a brand new car, Hyundai Tucson 2020 and only have 23000 miles on it, from when I purchase it, please can you check in to this for me.
