Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Hyundai Tucson

On 10/20/20, leaving the parking garage at my place of employment I thought I heard a noise coming from the vehicle, but as I rolled down the window to listen, I didn't hear anything. I checked the dash for warning lights; there were none. The temperature was also normal, so I continued home. About 10 min. Later, driving south on I-5 while in the far left lane at 70 mph, my 2013 Hyundai Tucson limited experienced a major engine failure, manifesting with a terrible metal crashing sound and shaking. I had to immediately cross two lanes of heavy traffic, hazards flash, taking the exit that was fortunately right there on the immediate right. I would not have made it to the next exit 1 mile away. By the time I reached the end of the ramp and pulled into the emergency parking, the engine was barely sputtering, the car barely rolling. Next day, upon inspection by the dealer, they said metal debris was found in the engine, same bearing issue as the other engine failures that were recalled earlier (santa fe models, sonatas, elantras, and other Tucsons). My model and trim package isn't part of the recall yet. One month prior, the dealer had done a safety inspection and $1,000 of work replacing the drive belt, hoses, and thermostat gasket so that I wouldn't lose the engine, as I was told back then. Since I still lost the engine only one month later and without any warning and because my mileage was over warranty at approx134k, the dealership submitted a request to Hyundai for goodwill and rental car assistance on my behalf. The manufacturer agreed to pay 75% and provide rental car assistance if parts were on national back order. It was 3 weeks to order parts and complete repairs. No rental car assistance. I pick up the car today. My portion of the cost is more than $2200. If the 2013 Tucson limited is added to the recall list, will I be eligible for reimbursement?.

I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson and it cut off on me while returning home from out of town on 4/5/2020 on 495 capital beltway. White smoke started coming out the tailpipe so I pulled over and cut the truck off, I tried to restart and it wouldn't turn over, all of the dash lights lit up, I had to call aaa to tow me home, the tow driver noticed oil under the truck and even after he towed me and put my truck on the street there was oil on his flatbed. This truck has a default with the oil plug or something, I keep up on my oil changes every 3 months, there was no warning on the dash about low oil or anything before it started smoking. Something is wrong with how this truck burns oil and it needs to be investigated. Now I have a truck sitting that I can;t drive and still have to pay a car note on.

Car losing power when water from rain splashes under and hits belt. Mech. Has confirmed splash shield is not big enough to cover belts. This is very dangerous and causing power steering and all to be lost. It does come back on. But have not been able to find a fix for issue. Have seen online I am not the only one, dealer is no help to me. Hoping this gets things started.

I was doing a 75mph in the state of colorado and suddenly I lost all the power in steering. The brakes were jammed. The steering wheel won't budge. I got rattled in this situation but adrenaline took over and I could slightly swerve the car off the highway and then on the shoulder. I had to use the emergency brakes often, just to slow down the speed and hence to a full stop. The parking brake was my only resort in this incident. I was fortunate to not have met with an accident. It would have been fatal. Upon diagnosis, I found that the timing belt had broken down and this resulted in the loss of power to motors and hence the entire breaking and steering assembly. There was no warning sign for the same, no check engine or any sign that this might happen. Had there been an indication, I would have got the issue sorted out. There are plenty of cars on road which are not aware of this possible issue. This can cause sudden loss of control over car and hence catastrophic/ fatal accidents. I had to tow the car for 200 miles to repair shop. It broke down at a lonely spot. The official position of the company is "we have not seen this issue for a lot of similar cars and hence we won't be taking any action". This is unacceptable. There must be someone who is accountable for such kind of issues. At least a warning should be sent to current car owners so that we can save some lives.

I religiously maintained maintenance on my SUV, but out the blue, last weekend 7/29-30 I was at a light and the check engine light appeared and something broke in the engine area, I heard a snap, it sounded like a belt. Well, I flat bed towed the vehicle to the dealership and to my amazement, I received a call from the service advisor that I needed a new engine? the cost would be around $8,000. 00. I religiously had every warranty service done and they came back with my crank shank pins and pistons were worn out and rod knocking was taken place, plus no more rod bearings. I asked what could of caused this and he stated, "lack of oil?". I never missed an oil change on the SUV, so how could this be?? also, metal shavings were found in the oil pain and cylinder 2 and 3 gone. There was a recall on the santa fe SUV 2011-2013, kia 2011-2014 whereby the same thing crankpins, metal shavings found, the exact wording from the class action lawsuit (found online) is "during machining of the entire engine, crankshaft and crankpins, metal shavings may have been left within the crankshaft oil passages, oil may be blocked and cause the connecting rods to wear, which would then cause hem to fail and seize the engine. Now, they didn't list my vehicle, but it's the exact and should be investigated since my vehicle has the same engine! also, this occurred at exactly 100,000 miles when the warranty expired. Now, the service advisors are being horrid and heated exchanges are going on with the car dealership team on my car repair. It's still sitting at the dealership and I'm in an expensive rental. I had just made my last payment. . . .

When trying to brake as the truck in front of me was braking, my brakes would not work at all. I slammed into the truck at approximately 47 mph. My airbags did not deploy and my seat belt did not tighten. Nothing worked the way it was supposed to.

Vehicle was traveling at approximately 40 mph when the vehicle suddenly stopped running and blocked the center lane of traffic on a busy thoroughfare during rush hour. Attempts to restart the vehicle were unsuccessful at first. After 15 minutes vehicle was able to start and stayed running. This type of incident has also happened in the past - vehicle will be traveling at speed and will just suddenly shut off and not restart. Vehicle has been taken to a service shop to be evaluated. Vehicle has a new coil pack, plugs, wires, throttle position sensor, a/c compressor, and timing belt. Vehicle, once repaired, is going be sold due to its continued unreliability and tendency to just stall at any time at any speed.
