NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2019 Hyundai Tucson. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
Car uses quart 1/2 for 300miles gives no warning of lo oil level . This will lead to engine failure while driving.Dealer acknowledges consumption issues offers combustion maintenance at customer expense but service technician says save money as service doesn’t work.
The vehicle was brought in just after a month of owning it due to it was accelerating slow and driving bad salesmans sent it to Hyundai dealership for diagnosis and it came back that the motor needed to be replaced due to recall vehicle was in repair shop for over 3 months to get a new motor once returned the very next day the check engine light came back on so I brung it back to the Hyundai dealership per Hub City's salesmans instruction to have vehicle diagnosis again. Hyundai advised that the vehicle needed a catalyst converter among other codes detected on vehicle.
My catalytic converter failed at roughly 70k miles (confirmed by mechanic and replaced). I have now been having transmission issues ever since, starting with the rpms jumping up on their own when trying to downshift (reproduced by mechanic) and ending with the car fully going into limp mode while in the middle of driving on the highway at speed. The former never triggered a light or produced codes, and with the latter the CEL flashed three times at the very start of the breakdown, and then went off and never came back on, despite the obvious problems the car was having.
While driving, my vehicle stopped moving forward and the engine light came on. I pulled over and called for a tow. The service department at the dealership the vehicle was towed to said that the vehicle had less than a quart of oil in it. I just had the vehicle serviced 2 months prior. The service department changed the oil, oil filter and air filter. They drove the car and heard knocking. They found the rod bearing to be bad. They said it needed a new engine. The vehicle has approximately 51,000 miles. I never had any issues prior to that day. The car manufacture is refusing to replace the engine because I am not the original owner, not because the engine isn't defective. This is a 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with engine 2.0L L4 DOHC 16V. I believe there is a known problem with this engine, but the manufacturer doesn't want to admit to anything, nor do they want to resolve the issue. My vehicle could have caught fire. I could have been in an accident. I just want the car company to replace the engine without any cost to me. I would even pay for the labor, but they need to pay for the engine and any parts or tests that come with replacing an engine.
Substantial oil consumption. Refilling oil once a month. Is not covered yet under engine recall. Dealership purchased from in Virginia Beach will not cover repairs.
on [XXX], we received the Tucson back from dealer from a complete engine replacement due to recall. On [XXX], our college son was returning to school from visiting a friend. He said he thought the car sounded a little different. There were no engine light warnings, so he didn't think much of it. About an hour into the trip, he started to smell gas, a few minutes later he started to smell smoke and saw smoke coming into the vehicle through the consoles. He looked behind him and saw a trail of fire and smoke. He decided to pull over but the brakes FAILED. He went into the median, applied the emergency brake and waited until the car slowed down. He was able to grab his phone that had fallen beneath his seat from driving onto the median. Once he was out of the vehicle, he could definitely see the car was on fire. It was entirely engulfed in flames within seconds. He called 911 and they were able to put out the fire within 30 minutes, but they commented that it was a difficult fire to extinguish. The car was completely destroyed front to back. We do not know if this problem started with engine, fuel tank or brakes. It is one thing when your car is on fire and you can pull over and get out. It is entirely another when you need to get out of your car but the brakes fail. You have to delay getting out of the car to ensure you don't hurt others on the road and save yourself before it explodes. We are lucky he is alive but are worried for others with this car. We thought we were done with car prolems after the engine replacement but we just moved onto another problem. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Engine failure will be caused by shrapnel in the engine (Dealer told me Hyundai is aware it was not vacuumed out properly in this particular batch of engines) leading to ruts being warn in the cylinder causing oil to leak past piston rings. Loses so much oil quickly. Extended warranty may deny due to 3 missed air filter changes
The engine sensor knock sensor went out on me on I-95. I called the dealer who sold me the car no action as of yet. Took it to a dealership service and had them diagnose it and they confirmed it. They informed me of a recall for Hyundai that year (2019) but not this model. They were baffled why this model was not recalled when they have several models with engine issues. They informed me they were not going to fix it because it will not work but I could risk it somewhere else. I took it to Precision Auto Tune and the dealership was correct. It only work for 48 hours if that. Confirm by more mechanics and the engine is no good
While driving the car felt like it was going to shutoff multiple times. It had been experiencing an unusually high consumption of oil since it's last oil change. It would also tend to surge and excelarate unexpectedly while driving. The check engine light came on only once and then shut off. The car is currently at the Hyundai dealer. The service person says we need a new engine. These incidents happend while I and my wife were driving in separate incidents at different days and times. I was with my family and had to apply the brakes lest we run into cars in front of me when it surged unexpectedly.
The MDPS sensor is faulty and the electronic power steering shut down on my wife while she was driving on the highway.
While driving on the highway, the check engine line came on and my Tucson started loosing power. I quickly moved into the right lane and was able to exit the highway and pulled over. I had previous issues with the vehicle and was told it was the 1 & 2 ignition coils that were replaced. I assumed it was the same issue for the 3 & 4 ignition coils. They were also replaced but the issue was not resolved and the vehicle was towed to a mechanic shop who stated there was a piece missing off one of the pistons and he couldn't determine how that could have occurred. At this point, he said my engine would need to be replaced and apparently they are back-ordered for 6 months. My daughters vehicle - 2019 Kona, was purchased at the same time and she also lost power in her engine while driving on the freeway. Fortunately she pulled off onto the should in a very dangerous situation. Her engine had a hole and later found out the 2019 Kona had an engine recall. I have heard there are issues with the 2019 Tucson, but no recall has been issued.
Unknown
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving on the highway at 70 MPH when the vehicle acceleration speed was reduced to 40 MPH independently. The check engine warning light had illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed that the gasket fuel pump, camshaft, timing chain, timing chain sensor, and intake cam were faulty and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000
I took my vehicle to my mechanic for inspection check up. My mechanic told me and supplied paperwork from their scans that the P0420 sensor in the cat converter was shot again (3x in 5 years) and needed to be replaced. The engine light had come on 3 weeks beforehand and I had it read and knew what it was. They sent me to Hyundai dealer as it was under warranty with documentation. I get to Hyundai dealer tell them it needs the sensor for inspection and an investigation for oil leaking from back of the engine. I also told them I was adding 2-3 quarts of oil between oil changes. They told me my mechanic over filled oil by .5 quarts and that's why the engine leaked. They investigated after I disputed by saying an oil change had been performed the day I brought it to them and found a bad head gasket, fuel pump seal, and oil pan seal. They charged my extended warranty for those repairs, shut off engine light for cat converter sensor without replacing it, and made me do an oil consumption test of 1000 miles. Car was still not inspected at this point. After 35 miles check engine light comes back on. Cat converter sensor P0420. I take it back in. They tell me they won't replace it until the oil consumption test is done because they need to know if oil is coming through the exhaust pipes (it was). I complete the test and go in. They tell me engine is burning .5 quarts of oil/1000 miles which is acceptable and as long as I complete oil changes every 5000 miles I will be fine. They then tell me if I want sensor replaced I'm 800 miles over warranty so I have to pay $2400 to replace. Called corporate they're only willing to cover half the repair as "good will" for the cat converter and was quoted $1300 by the dealer in question. Almost a month and still not fixed and still can't get car inspected because the check engine light is tripped by the P0420 sensor in the cat converter. It's the only vehicle my family has. I'm forced to pay to have transportation.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to respond. The check engine light warning illuminated, and another unknown warning light flashed. The contact was approaching a traffic light and then while attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to respond. The contact pulled over to the side of the road, parked the vehicle, and turned off the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to restart. Several independent mechanics were contacted, and the contact was made aware of a possible recall related to the failure. The contact called the manufacturer and was referred to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed, and the contact was informed that the engine was knocking. The vehicle was not repaired because the manufacturer was waiting on the maintenance records for the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
2019 Tuscon with 70k miles.Engine failure, had to have vehicle towed to dealership. I have been without a vehicle for over a month and other than the dealership leaving me a message saying that my engine is seized, I have been completely ignored.
Knock sensor keeps throwing codes, the car will not accelerate over 20mph and under 2000 rpms
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the light oil low light illuminated and gray smoke started coming out of the front end of the vehicle, underneath the hood of the vehicle, and from the rear of the vehicle. There was a burning odor coming from the vehicle. The contact pulled over to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle. The contact found no visible failures; however, while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who diagnosed that the drain plug had backed out and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the engine needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the failure might have happened during an oil change and the repair was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Vehicle is consuming oil at a rate of 2 quarts per 1000 miles which could lead to catastrophic engine failure at highway speed causing serious crash and loss of life. This is apparently a common defect with many Hyundia engines that the manufacturer is actively trying to deny warranty claims.
The contact owned a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the Forward Collision Avoidance warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle automatically brake, independently without the brake pedal being depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where several codes were illuminated and advised the contact to take vehicle to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 16,803.
I have had to replace the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter twice since owning my car. I have owned my car since 2020 and bought it at 23,000 miles. The car now has 100,000 miles - all highway. The code P0240 has displayed again and the dealership said I need to replace the catalytic converter and manifold for a third time. The car burns synthetic oil very quickly as well. Dealership has found no leaks of oil. I have to change oil every month because of how quickly the oil burns. I have conducted my own research and have found several other owners of 2019 Hyundai Tucson are having similar issues. I encourage Hyundai and its partners to initiate an investigation. This could cause detrimental damage to the engine. Something is wrong!
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle lost motive power. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with catalytic converter failure and sludge in the engine oil. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The catalytic converter was replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The contact stated that the vehicle was at the dealer for 55 days. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The contact was informed that the engine was not covered under warranty. The contact was informed that because the history of the oil changes was consistent with Hyundai, the engine was not covered under warranty. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My car lost power and was shaking while driving, the dealership service department told me that that my car was producing a code for a misfire in my exhaust valve chamber #3 and I could replace this for $4400 but in a few months I would need a new engine so they recommended I replace the engine for $8000. I am 1000 miles over my warranty so Hyundai is refusing to pay for this. I currently finance my car and owe $22000 on it still and can not afford to fix my car out of pocket. My car has been at the service department since 9/6/2024, I’ve researched this problem with this make and model and thousands of Hyundai owners are being denied for new engines because the engine failure was not caused by the rod bearings, ultimately both of these concerns and problems are cause from oil consumption and these vehicles burning oil. After multiple exhausting attempts to clear this up with Hyundai USA corporate and my local dealership. I’m am now working on other options. Driving down a 70mph highway losing acceleration is dangerously unacceptable
While driving a flashing engine light came on in my 2019 Hyundai Tucson. This made the car slow down and have no power. I brought the car to the nearest mechanic, they told me it was the knock sensor and told me it was a recall for this car, I should bring it back to the dealership. I called the dealership and they had told me to bring the car in. They inspected the car on 8/30/24 at 44,990 miles and told me it was the knock sensor and replaced it. On 11/4/24 at 46,246 miles the car was brought back in for the same issue and the car was inspected again, it was the knock sensor. This time the software was replaced. On 1/29/25 at 48,042 while driving on a highway going 70 mph the flashing light comes on again, brought it back to the dealership and I was given a loaner. The reached out to me and told me it was the knock sensor. They had the car for about 5 days. On 2/14/25 at 48,248 again, driving on a highway the flashing engine light appears again. Called the dealership and brought in the car and again, the knock sensor. On 12/31/25 at 56,712, driving on the highway, the flashing light appears again...On 1/2/26 the car goes back to the dealership, they call me and said that it's the strangest thing, the serpentine belt is worn, and it was making a banging sound which was setting off the knock sensor. At this point they offered to put in a new serpentine belt. I refused because after 5 failed attempts, I decided to bring it to my mechanic (I had lost all confidence with Hyundai mechanics). He did replace it. At this point I sent a letter to Hyundai motors stating all the facts that have been happening and asked for a buyout. After their investigation they called me and said, because you brought it to your mechanic they couldn't help me, but, if it happens again, bring it back to Hyundai. On 2/2/26, 57,286, again. I called the dealership and brought it back. This time they said that they didn't have a loaner to give so I rented one, 4 days. This is 5 failed attempts
The check engine light came on and then started flashing. It was 3 quarts low on oil and there were still 1,000 miles left before the next oil change. The oil has been changed regularly since we purchased the Tucson in December 2023. A mechanic looked at the vehicle today and said metal shavings were in the oil and the engine needed replacing. The 2019 Hyundai Tucson got good reviews and was considered a safe vehicle for teen drivers, but now I'm wishing we purchased something else for our kids to drive.
I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the recent theft of my 2019 Hyundai Tucson, which I believe was exacerbated by a software update provided by Hyundai. Several months ago, I had my vehicle updated with a software patch at a Hyundai dealership, specifically intended to address vulnerabilities related to vehicle theft. However, despite the update, my vehicle was stolen on August 8, 2024, and later totaled in a crash. I have been informed by police and insurance company officials that thieves are now exploiting a method involving breaking a window and popping the ignition, as demonstrated in online videos. This method remains effective despite the software update. Adding to my frustration, Hyundai placed a sticker on my driver’s window to indicate the software update. This inadvertently advertised to thieves that my vehicle was among those with the known vulnerability, potentially making it a target.
The drain plug was loose, even thought the mechanics ensured it was tightened. This is another case out of many of 2019 Hyundai Tucson owners who have found the drain plug to be faulty causing loosening and then falling out causing all oil to drain quickly and without warning. My engine unfortunately died mid drive while at the base of a large bridge, causing safety risks to myself and my passenger, as well as other drivers on the road. The engine lost so much oil at once giving no chance to even be warned about malfunction, as we were driving and it just fell out. My engine seized completely. This is not the first time Hyundai parts have done this, according to other owners, mechanics and other forums. Hyundai still has no recall for this faulty parts and offers no assistance to remedy a potentially life threatening situation.
Lost power when accelerating up highway hills, it coded P0420, catalytic converter on Bank 1 is not operating as efficiently as it should. This code is often caused by issues with the fuel or exhaust systems, which can result in insufficient oxygen leaving the catalytic converter. Hyundai dealer changed the catalytic converter July 2023, 1 yr to the day my vehicle did the same thing and had another Hyundai dealer change the catalytic converter to which 1 week later my car is still showing the code and is still jolting as I try to pick up speed.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull to the side of the road. The contact stated that upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The contact activated the hazard lights and drove to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with a possible knock sensor failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The manufacturer later informed the contact that the VIN was not covered under an unknown recall. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.

The car barely has 50,000 miles on it and I had to replace all the tires rotors and brakes. Then a week later we were driving and it started making a funny noise and it would not drive more then 30 mph. I am going to have it towed to the dealership and see what the problem is. I have been reading about a lot of people with this same problem for faulty engine. I will sue them if this is the case this happened another time to me and I sued them under the lemon law
My car is burning oil like crazy, having to top off engine with 1.5 quarts between 5,000 mile oil change with synthetic oil. Took to Hyundai for oil consumption test. Let them know I'm having issues with burning oil, and my check engine light comes on often. They looked at my car saw enough of a problem according to advisor to skip first step of oil consumption test and jump straight to step 2 an engine combustion cleaning, which cause multiple more codes to come on. Drove the 1,000 mile 1378 to be exact because I explained to them that I couldn't bring back at exact mileage and was told that was fine. I was toldy car was only a quart low and that that meant everything was fine and that they would now honor the warranty. I am using in ungodly amount of gas and my engine oil smells like straight gasoline. I explained this to the manager and he said he resubmitted to try to retest again and was denied. I do not know what to do at this point. The advisor even said he didn't agree with their decision but it was up to them. His hands were tied. I am a single mother still paying on the car and only bought new because of the warranty. I provided immaculate proof of oil changes and maintenance. Please help .
When u try and pull out in traffic the Car hesitates and kicks to pick up and go . Had a few mechanics look at it and was told it is the Torque Converter With the Vehicle only having 19,000 miles on it .it is a huge safety issue and Hyundai is saying my Tucson has no warranty on it. So what I till crash and sue Hyundai?
The TSB needs to be replaced according to the Hyundai Dealership. This is a known problem and would normally be covered under warranty but I am just outside of my warranty window and it just started happening. The entire audio system, touch screen controls, and hands-free controls do not work. The touch screen freezes after a few seconds and freezes on my backup camera creating a major driving distraction. The audio system does not shut of once the vehicle has been turned off creating a problem for the battery which I have to manually disconnect or it will continue to power my touchscreen system even after I leave the vehicle. The lane assist, blind spot indicator, and any beeping warning sounds do not work because of the failing TSB. I cannot change my cars settings or hear any warnings from the car's sensors. I believe this is a major manufacturing flaw and Hyundai will not fix it even though those warning sounds are part of the safety features of the vehicle and are a major player in driver safety. The radio controls do not work - volume included. I cannot adjust any noises in the car and beeping warnings are no longer sounding. I am worried that this problem is also affecting any and all car audio warnings such as the forward collision warning, parking collision warning, and lane departure warning.
The Engine start having a knocking sound, it got worse until stop, it burned the oil faster.
I was driving approx 55mph on [XXX] in my 2019 hyundai tucson when the check engine light came on and the engine started to stall. I felt the acceleration dying down in the middle of busy highway traffic. Gray smoke started coming from the hood cracks. I luckily was in the right lane already, so when I could I veered off to the shoulder and the car quit. The smoke was increasing badly. Ppl from the highway were yelling its going to blow up get away from it! I was so scared. I grabbed my phone and keys and ran as far as I could while dialing 911. Within a couple minutes flames were swallowing the entire engine and front of the car. I am furious. I researched online and hyundai has had many similar incidents with this car and other with this engine ! These need to be banned and taken off the road before they kill anyone else. Ppl have been injured and killed from similar situations just like mine. I thank God I made it out of this horrific situation alive. But now I have no car and am at risk of losing my job and then housing . I thought I would have this car for years. Now I'm traumatized and without transportation.

’ve replaced the catalytic converter two times , the check engine light is on so it says I need another catalytic converter, that was in June 2024. The car was at the shop yesterday, needs catalytic converter and oil is pooling all throughout the car , fumes from the exhaust are coming back into the car which makes me physically ill. The engine revs and slows down by itself, it goes through oil on such a regular basis that I have to carry a full size jug of oil with me at all times because I need to put it in before I leave work and when I am on my way back home , the dipstick will be dry.
- replaced catalytic convertor twice - Check engine light on , needs another catalytic convertor - Exhaust fumes are coming back into my car through the AC vents , I’ve had to pull over due to being nauseas and extremely dizzy. - The dealership will not answer my phone calls , but will answer another phone because I have called from another phone and they picked up immediately - Was told from a service advisor that they would not help me “ unless the car blew up “ - My car did recently ,8/8/24, shake aggressively, the check engine light flicked rapidly and a strong puff of fumes came through my car - They will not help me because they stated that my rod bearings are not rotted therefore I do not qualify for assistance and everything would come out of pocket , the engine replacement , the catalytic convertor due to me being a few thousand miles outside of my 100,000 warranty. - I have the invoice stating oil is leaking profusely out of my engine - I was told within the last 2 weeks that if my car was to actually seize , Hyundai is not responsible bc when they kept telling me to bring my car in , they kept diagnosing it so they quoted me at about $5k to fix everything.
Engine failure. Car suddenly stop and engine light lit on.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 40–45 MPH, the vehicle failed to accelerate as needed. The vehicle failed to accelerate about 35 MPH. The vehicle went into LIMP/SAFE Mode. The check engine warning light was blinking. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the failure was due to metal shavings being in the oil. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that there was no recall coverage on the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact about diagnostic testing the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and opened a case. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not covered under recall. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The failure mileage was approximately 92,000.
I have to add oil to my every 2 days.. there is no leaks and I get frequent oil changes. Also acceleration to meet state limits my Rpm go super high not wanting to shift. Again no leaks and have checked so there is good transmission fluid in it
On 05/11/2024, I accelerated onto the freeway at which point my vehicle would no longer go past 50 mph with the pedal to the floor. I had my two small children in the car at the time. It was dangerous as cars around us were going 65+ mph. The check engine light started blinking when this was occurring. Prior to that the check engine light had been on because the dealership claimed they didn’t know why it was triggering and that they have to take my engine out and replace it just to explore the issue. I don’t have the money for that. It has a knocking sound, a pungent fuel smell and it still won’t accelerate. I only have 85k miles on the car.
I was driving on the highway when my vehicle started decelerating and shutting down completely. I ended up safely pulling over because it could’ve been a serious accident and called FHP they tested my car code p1326 came up I had it towed to the dealership where they assured me I had the extended warranty and that the car should be covered and I don’t have to pay out of pocket. What the dealership told me would take 2 days has now been almost a month and still counting. I’ve had 3 denials for engine replacement due to being outside of warranty with Hyundai even though I have the extended warranty. The dealership has sent pictures and spoke with my case manager at Hyundai to confirm that the engine failure was due to the bent connecting rod bearing that is again covered under warranty. They came back and said other codes populated showing the cause was not the rod bearing but that has to be false. One of the other codes was regarding coolant and I’ve never had any issues with my car overheating or anything prior to my engine shutting down on the highway. I never had any flashing lights or warning signals on my dashboard. This was very unexpected and I refuse to pay for a repair that I didn’t cause especially when this is consistent with Hyundai and their engines. This is a 2019 I should not have any issues. I need a solution quick
I was having oil consumptions issues which meant I had to put a quart of oil in my car every 500 miles I drove. Then I was driving when my check engine light started flashing and now my car can't drive without shaking a lot. I can't drive it anymore.
Check engine light comes on it has come more then 5 times. I take it to the dealership. They tell me they are doing an oil consumption test this makes the 5th one. Lane assist when trying to move away from a vehicle it pulls back almost getting you into an accident.
See attached document for complaint
None of the air bags deployed. The vehicle is currently sitting in a tow yard, but is awaiting a an assessment by the insurance adjuster. If the car is totaled, I do not know where it will go. My safety was compromised both when I was T boned by the first car on the passenger side of my car, which no air bags deployed at that time, and then from that car, I was pushed into oncoming traffic, where I was hit head on from another car. I was jilted to the left and sustained injuries, and then when I was struck head on, I was jilted forward towards the steering wheel, and then jilted backwards, also resulting in injury. I believe all other airbags on the other 2 cars were deployed. However, my car, and myself received the most severe damage to my car and myself. The car has been inspected by the police, and the Tow Truck owner in person. The insurance company, and hospital personnel has viewed the vehicle by pictures only. However, I am awaiting communications from the claims adjuster. I am unaware of any waring lamps etc. as the wreck happened less than a second. I was doing 35-40 mph, and she pulled out in front of me, and I had no chance or opportunity to apply my brakes. I have a chest wall, and left shoulder contusion, a concussion, an a hairline fractured collarbone. I do believe that if the airbags had deployed, I would not have suffered these injuries, or the severity.
Engine stalled while on the road with no warning lights. Seized and doesn’t start. Hyundai said that that it was engine neglect because of sludge yet we consistently got the oil change.
On March 13, 2023 while I was driving at about 70 mph on PA route 66, the engine suddenly stalled and fortunately, I was able to move to the emergence lane. I turned off the power and restarted the engine, and it worked. This is the third time that I have experienced the same issue, with other two on I-376. I also couldn't start the engine after refilling gas, so I had to wait for about 15 minutes. I took the car to a dealership but the diagnosis did not show any problem. There was not error code at all. On the internet, several possibilities were mentioned, but I do not have any idea about the root cause.
