Oil consumption issues. Presented at oil change with very little oil, no warning light, followed by a loss of a quart every month following. Contacted Hyundai for oil consumption test. Dealer said I would have to replace the oil pan gasket ($600)before they would start the test from Hyundai. Loss of power or engine seizing could be dangerous. I feel Hyundai shoud replace the engine and reimburse me for the oilpan gasket.

I have been experiencing serious safety issues with the 2019 Hyundai Tucson I purchased that have been ongoing since February of 2023. The check engine light comes on, begins to flash, and the car goes into 'limp mode' and will not allow me to accelerate faster than 45/50 mph. Consequently, it will further stall on hills due to the inability to accelerate. Below is a brief timeline of this incident: - February 21: Bring in vehicle to dealer as recommended for oil change, tire rotation, cabin air filter, and a recall. The recall issue was as follows: 966 engine monitoring logic, 22-01-028H-1, caused by ecm update, 966 campaign, ecm update op code 10d021r9.3 - February: 24: Check engine light comes on, flashing, and unable to accelerate past 45-50 mph. - February 27: Return to dealer and bring in vehicle for check engine/no acceleration issue. - March 2: Pick up vehicle from dealer - March 8: Check engine light comes on again, flashing, and unable to accelerate past 45-50 mph. - March 9: Return to dealer and bring in vehicle for check engine/no acceleration issue. - April 5: Pick up vehicle from dealer - April 8: Check engine light comes on again, flashing, and unable to accelerate past 45-50 mph. - April 10: Return to dealer and bring in vehicle for check engine/no acceleration issue - April 25: Pick up vehicle from dealer - May 3: Check engine light comes on again, flashing, and unable to accelerate past 45-50 mph. - May 4: Return to dealer and bring in vehicle for check engine/no acceleration issue; car is still at dealer as of May 25

While driving to work on Thursday, February 23 2023, the car suddenly turned off flashing the check engine light and oil light. I was driving on the palisades interstate parkway in New York and had enough momentum with the car to get off on the next exit. Once the car was safely off of the road, I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick because the oil light was flashing and it was smoking. The oil light never came on before with the car. The car also had the recall for the knock sensor replacement to avoid this engine failure. I called Hyundai and the salesperson directed me to have the car towed to the dealership at my expense. Once at the dealer ship, the service advisor explained that they have had several cars come in with the same issue and that they would get back to me. A couple days later, they explained that the engine had burned all the oil and that Hyundai would replace it. The issue here is that that was my only car. I have a job and a son while other duties to fulfill. I was explained that it would take a while to get a motor since they’ve had cars sitting with the same issue since December and that they also had a wait of double digits people for the next loaner. I did not get an eta of when I would have my car back or when I can get a loaner. They also will not cover rental fees for a rental car. I have been paying for cabs and other forms of transport and still have no estimation of when I will get my car back.

The component involved is the engine and associated knock detection system (KSDS). The system triggered a P1326 code indicating abnormal engine knock associated with a known defect condition. On February 14, 2023, while driving on the freeway, the vehicle suddenly entered reduced power (“limp mode”) and lost acceleration capability in active traffic. This created a safety risk, as the vehicle was unable to maintain speed with surrounding traffic or accelerate as needed for normal driving conditions. There were no sufficient warnings prior to the event to allow safe planning or avoidance of the loss of power condition. The system activation itself (P1326 and limp mode) was the first indication of the severity of the issue. The problem has been reproduced multiple times, with repeated P1326 events occurring after the initial incident. The condition has been inspected and partially confirmed by a Hyundai dealership. In March 2026, dealership records documented that oil contamination was causing catalytic converter failure, indicating ongoing engine-related deterioration consistent with the defect condition identified by the knock detection system. Despite these findings, the underlying engine condition has not been resolved. The KSDS system is designed to detect a potentially serious engine defect and limit engine power to prevent further damage. However, it does not correct the underlying defect. As a result, the vehicle may continue to operate with a known compromised condition that can trigger reduced power unexpectedly. This creates an ongoing safety concern. A vehicle that can suddenly lose acceleration due to a known defect presents a risk to the driver, passengers, and other motorists, particularly during freeway driving, merging, or other situations requiring normal engine performance. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request.

FEEL LIKE THE EMEGENCY BRAKE IS GETTING STUCK BUT THE DEALER TELLS ME IM WRONG BUT THEY NEVER TEST DROVE IT

2019 Hyundai Tuscon experienced engine failure at 66k miles. This vehicle experienced the exact same issues of vehicles Hyundai previously recalled. It is equipped with knock sensor which was supposed to be a "fix" for the known engine issues. A sensor displaying on dash at the same time the engine starts loudly knocking does not make the vehicle safe. The engine still has the potential to fail and catch fire. Hyundai needs to fix all these engine issues. The Hyundai corporate consumer affairs office nor the dealership will return calls or emails about our vehicle.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at approximately 40 MPH and slowing the vehicle, she observed that the vehicle in front was braking.

The police were on the scene and filed a report. The vehicle was towed to a collision center and was repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

Check engine light has come on twice AFTER the car was at dealers for the recall about the knock sensor. Dealer states the recall fix was implemented, however the light came on a day or two after the vehicle was in the shop. I believe they installed a new knock sensor but I’m not sure, check engine light was off when I picked it up. It’s been approximately 5 weeks since I’ve gotten it back and the check engine light came on again. Friend had a scanner tool and used it - code indicated it was the knock sensor again. Went to dealer and was told there was nothing they could do because the code was cleared. This is a huge safety issue as I drive CA freeways with cars doing 75 mph- it will run for a limited time but it won’t let you accelerate and will get you to the dealer but you must get it to dealer in a very short window- it’s an engine problem and could put me in extreme danger ️

On [XXX] as I was driving down the highway, the check engine light came on the dashboard and the car lost acceleration. I could not go any faster than approximately 30 miles per hour. Very dangerous situation when you’re traveling in a lane of traffic that’s is doing 65/70 mph. I was able to get the car to Premier Hyundai, a dealer in Seaside, CA. At that time there was a recall for the Knock sensor. They replaced the knock sensor at that time and did some other services including an oil change and sent me on my way. They told me at the time that the code that had come up was P1326. Entering this incident now, because I realized I had missed reporting this specific incident. This VIN# has had the issues 5 times since the [XXX] incident and I feel very strongly that this is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. when this happens when you are driving down the freeway at 65-70 MPH and it suddenly goes into LIMP MODE. You are at the mercy of the cars that are approaching you from behind doing 70 when you're only able to do 30 mph. This is an ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE Do SOMETHING. I see where you closed an investigation into these issues. - PLEASE REOPEN the investigation and hold the manufacturer accountable. These settlements they come up with are not worth the paper they're written on. The consumer is getting fed up and we need someone to help us. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

At approximately 55,000 miles, the check engine light illuminated. Code P0420 "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". When inspected, the car had consumed about 1 quart of oil after driving at highway speeds for approximately 3000 miles.

Knock Senser failed? On Dec 11, 2022 I was merging onto the highway at 530pm rush hour. I merged over one lane and the car made a loud noise and died. Cars flying past me on both sides dodging me in limp mode. I merged back to the right, there was no shoulder area available, so I coasted and finally came to a clearing on the side. I don't know how we didn't get hit. I ended up on a connecting road to another highway, and the Tow company couldn't find us because I didn't know where we were. It took about 3 hours of waiting for service. I had the Hazard lights on until the battery died. There was no warning except for the loud rattling noise and then boom. The car was towed to CHapman Hyundai in Phoenix, it has taken 5 months to get it repaired. I have 5 months of car rental bills and they still have not reimbursed me.

I was merging onto a highway at high speeds when the car stuttered. The check engine light began to flash and I lost acceleration. I could push the gas pedal to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. The car lost it's speed and I could not go anymore than 30mph, and it would not go higher than 2rpms. It put me and my baby (who was in the backseat) in danger as we were going fast on a highway and out of nowhere the car lost speed and I could not accelerate. I could've easily been hit by another driver going the regular speed limit. I drove it to the dealership that just happened to be down the street, and the car struggled to accelerate from a complete stop, as well as in general. From a complete stop, the car would sputter and jerk when pressing on the gas pedal. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty Knock Sensor. They said they would replace the sensor as it was still under warrenty. When I left the dealership, the check engine light was off and the car was driving fine. Fast forward to the next day, I was driving again on a highway at about 65mph, when the SAME thing happens. The car stuttered, lost all acceleration, and the check engine light was flashing. I ended up driving it home (about 10 miles away) and the whole time I could not go faster than 30mph without the car shaking. This time the car would not go higher than 1.5rpms. I checked the engine at home and a P1326 code came up, which is a code for the Knock Sensor. I called the Hyundai dealership that I originally went to and they said there was nothing they can do about it at the moment since they had just replaced it. Prior to all of this, there was no warning sign at all that this was a potential hazard. It happened so suddenly and both times it happened put me in a dangerous situation.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH and merging onto the highway, the vehicle began to lose motive power. The contact stated that the check engine warning light started flashing. The contact stated that a loud humming noise was coming from the engine compartment. Additionally, the steering wheel began to vibrate. The contact pulled off the highway, and at the bottom of the off ramp she had to stop for a traffic light. The contact stated that when the light changed, and she depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged forward while shifting from 1st gear into 2nd gear and then stalled. The contact stated that it took several attempts to restart the vehicle. The contact drove to her residence while the vehicle struggled but was unable to exceed 25 MPH. The contact drove the vehicle to an auto parts store and had a diagnostic test performed. The contact was advised that she had a code P1326 and other failures of the powertrain system. The contact called a dealer and was informed that the vehicle would not be diagnosed or repaired the vehicle was diagnosed by their mechanic. The vehicle was diagnosed a second time and the mechanic retrieved DTC: P1326. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,859.

While driving, I came to a stop sign and the car completely shut off. The car restarted and then I stopped at a stop sign and the car completely shut off. I had the car towed and they told me that it had catastrophic engine failure. I haven’t even owned this car for 1 year yet. How could the engine fail. Upon further investigation, it appears that this is a known issue with Hyundai Tucson’s of the same year.

Engine lost power. The vehicle was brought in 3 times since 10/22 to Atlantic Hyundai in. The last time was 3/23. The motor was finally evaluated and results sent to Hyundai Corporate Headquarters and the told Atlantic to replace the motor. Service manager Tim Turnbull refused to do so and stated he was putting in a chip in, for us to drive it for 30 days and bring it back in for evaluation. The motor is unsafe.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate while the engine revved loudly. The vehicle then jerked forward while driving. Additionally, there was an abnormal rubber odor detected. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure recurred, and the vehicle was taken back to the dealer, where it remained unrepaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 10,724.

While on the road, the 2019 Hyundai Tucson Value dashboard warning lights lit up and stated to check the Lane Keeping Assist and the Forward Collision Assist. The engine light, anti-skid light and power steering light came on as well as the car began to decelerate while in the middle of traffic. I pulled over and turned the car off. When trying to turn back on, the car would not start again until I began pumping the gas with my foot for a few seconds then it started; however, now the engine light was on although it drove normally after that. This has happened to me a few times now, but is very scary because it gives no warning and when I take it to the dealership they can never find anything wrong with it.

In this 2019 Hyundai Tucson with about 31,000 miles, engine stalling occurred the second time during driving with two passengers on I-76 at approximately 73 mph in the cruise mode on September 11, 2022; the speed kept dropping and gas pedal did not respond at all; fortunately, the driver could manage to pull over the car to an emergency zone; from the lesson in the first engine stalling incident on I-376 on in October 2021, turning the ignition key to the OFF position then to the "ON" appeared to make the engine work again, like nothing occurred; there was no engine warning light, or OBDII warnings.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 35-45 MPH, the vehicle started jerking. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond and stalled.

This car was stolen because the manufacturer neglected to install an immobilizer in the engine. The car was locked and parked in a secure location, and someone broke the window, opened the steering column and was able to start the car with simply a USB. This incident could have entirely been avoided if it weren’t for the negligence of Hyundai manufacturers for not installing a key component of this vehicle. The engine immobilizer. The car has since been in the shop for 50 days attempting to repair the damage done by the thieves. Charging me tons of money in deductibles, transportation fees, rental coverage. Again, all of this could have been avoided if Hyundai was a responsible dealer.

*Inside of car smelt like urine upon start. Car went into limp mode. First trip to dealership, catalytic converter was replaced. After the 6th time to dealership for same issue, manufacture approved engine replacement. *The car went into limp mode which posed a safety risk to our family as well as other vehicles on the road. This happened twice while on the freeway and we could have been rear-ended due to unexpected reduced speed. This also happened twice while turning with oncoming traffic approaching. *The problem was reproduced as this happened 6 times before the manufacture would approve an engine replacement. *The dealership replaced all the fuel injectors. No change engine went into limp mode P1326 (failure code). *The dealership installed a new short block engine. *The engine smelling like urine appears to be the first symptom (catalytic converter failure and replaced). When the car went into limp mode the engine light flashes. P1326 (failure code). Urine smell occurred beginning in July 2022 at (23,926 miles). Car went into limp mode for the first time on September 23 (approximately 25,400). * Another issue we are now addressing not related to the above engine issues: Car fish-tales when you drive over any bump in the road. *The dealership is replacing both rear shock absorbers. They said both shocks were leaking fluid. *Car is very unstable and throws you around (like hydro-planning the pavement is dry). *No warning signs, just started happening.

2019 Hyundai Tucson I purchased 13 months ago with a mere 5, 241 miles on it., (Currently 29k mi) from Bert Ogden Subaru/Mazda in Edinburg, TX. On 6/26/22 it Started Shaking violently then "rodknocking" and finally failing in middle of major, high-traffic hwy. Near causing accident. NOwarning lights, check engine lights, oil lights, etc. Car was towed to Tipton Ford Hyundai, in Brownsville, TX. As it urns out (through my own research), my vin# falls under a recall issue that was not fixed prior to purchase nor disclosed to me, re:"engine monitoring and logics warning system failure". More importantly, 2) There are several class-action lawsuits underway, one settled, in which Hyundai was found liable for faulty "class II Theta Engines" and a suit involving "GDI NU 2.OL" (same as my vehicle) leading to rod knocking sensor failure, premature worn bearings and even cars catching fire! This is a no-brainer situation in which hyundai should be replacing my engine as ordered, but instead they are claiming, vehicle "neglect" (all maint. receipts were provided)and rejecting claim(which seems to be their m.o. based on similar complaints / civil filings that are ALL OVER THE WEB) and dealer says Im responsible for paying for new engine. Not sure who is responsible: the dealer I purchased from, for selling me a defective vehicle, the Hyundai dealer it was towed to, or Hyundai itself for denying what is a VERY well known liability on their part and apparently a widespread years-long issues with engine defects, recalls, suits, judgements, etx but have many court transcripts of consumers claiming Hyundai blaming thd customer for "neglect" to avoid replacing engine. I need legal help and advice. I HAVE to have car for work and dealer knows it and seems hyundai does, because they wont cover rental, wont provide "loaner" and seems dealer didnt even debate this with HMA because I purchased vehicle elsewhere. They just accepted Hyundai's denial and is now attempting to take advantage.

Our Hyundai Tucson was hit from behind in a multi-car collision at approximately 30 mph and front driver and passenger seats collapsed to the reclining position

I needed to stop quickly, but not unreasonably fast. I had time to consider my passenger and that this would be a quick stop for them. I then firmly applied the brakes and it felt like something kicked in causing the car specifically not to stop or slow down as expected. I subsequently had to push harder and harder to try to get the car to stop, which it didn't in time and I t-boned another vehicle (minor) that then left the scene. My passenger, who I do not have a relationship with and had just met that night, turned to me and said "you're car didn't stop." She noticed this as well. Upon having it fixed at the auto body shop, they found that "the brake pedal is below the gas pedal and keeping brakes applied when brake pedal is released. The brake pedal assembly is bend and holding brake pads applied when driving." I spoke to the technician (owner?) who said that "if the pedal assembly is bending instead of stopping then it is possible that this caused it." He also suggested that "brake assemblies don't bend" and that he has never seen or heard of one bending in his decades of work. All I know is that I applied the brakes quickly, but not unreasonably and the car reacted in a way causing it not to stop when it should have. Whether this was a problem with the ABS or the brake pedal assembly bending, I am not sure. I do want to document that this car did not stop as it should have and feel that a mechanical problem caused this collision. Fortunately we made light contact with the other vehicle, the air bags did not go off and there were no injuries. There was, however serious risk of injury should cars have been only a few feet further in any direction. This car was repaired by a body shop.

formance exhaust. I bought catalytic conVerter that they told me to buy for 600+ dollars and took it to child's shop they told me that the catalytic converter isnt clogged nor is it affecting my car and provided me with these codes about the camshaft and crankshaft (P0017,P000B, P000A) which they stated hyundai should have fixed under the engine warranty because it was a recall on these engines on this year car. They stated that even if fixed the converter my car would still perform the same and 3 other mechanics have said the same and stated hyundai would have to fix it. After oil changes the oil consumption in my car is constantly getting oil before its even due for another oil change. I have already paid so much just by having people look at it, buying oil, parts, and etc. i am furious to know that i was sold a car that was recalled with engine problems and been having problems since i got it. I have 2 kids i have to get to and from school and this my only transportation. My car has been misfiring and not going over 40 miles. This is my only vehicle and hyundai has put me in a messed up situation. The recalled was may 2022 and hyundai sold me this car june 9 2022. I contacted the june 15, 2022 about the engine light they kept turning off. Car is stalling, making noise, not holding oil. Have to top oil weeks after getting oil changed

On 2-23-2022 , I was driving approximately 30 MPH when all of a sudden there was a noise that kept getting louder which sounded like a knocking or broken fan, the vehicle RPM increased, the vehicle hesitated, did not accelerate, stalled, the check oil and engine light came on, I coasted into parking lot. When I opened the hood, there was no signs of smoke, oil leak, or smells, however, when I went to check the oil, smoke came out of where the oil dip stick goes. I attempted to have the vehicle jump started with no luck, just a clicking sound. I had the vehicle towed to be serviced.

Blind spot warning becomes disabled sporadically? Engine needs to be turned off and restarted to reconnect Blind Spot Warning. This has been an ongoing problem for the last few years. It never shows up when brought into dealer for inspection? Nor are there any computerized “messages” in the system? The below “Additional Details” only reflect yesterday’s occurrence. This problem happens on a regular basis. with no regularity?

Motor blew with regular maintenance done at 77k

As previously stated, was driving when csr began to smoke and stall. After almost three months of being at the dealership it was determined to be the ROD BEARING failure. Earlier models of this vehicle have been recalled due to this issue. Please look into the newer models as well.

Was driving uphill, heard a clanging sound. Car engine completely shut off and started smoking, lights worked. Towed it to dealer, they said it will be 30 days before we hear about the issue, they said they will fix the original recall after tearing the engine down.

I helped my daughter buy a used 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with 42K miles since she was going to med school and needed reliable transportation. At 62K miles the engine failed. The engine stalled in the middle of the highway and she was in the middle of the highway for some time before she could restart the engine. She was nearly rear ended. The dealer she brought the car back to said there was no oil in the engine despite the fact that she had the oil changed two months before this incident. There have been many problems with the Hyundai "Theta II" and 2 liter GDI engines that were supposedly fixed and there was a class action lawsuit on Hyundai Tuscons up to 2016 which was well publicized. This car has a 2 liter engine (which is all I know). It does not appear that Hyundai has fixed their engine problems since I believe this is the same problem as before. I am filing this complaint in my daughetrs behalf since she has to take her medical boards in one month. It is bad enough that her car has been tied up for 3 months and she has to transport her husband across town twice a day.

While driving down a busy road at 10:00 pm on New Years Eve, my vehicle's engine completely shut off. Immediately prior to the shut off, the vehicle's dash displayed the oil and battery lights. The vehicle's automatic emergency brake and steering wheel lock were both engaged, not allowing me (or the tow truck company) to move my vehicle out of this busy road. My car remained in this location for 3 and a half hours. The hazard lights stopped working after the first hour, making it extremely difficult to see that the vehicle was stopped. After the second hour, an officer parked behind my vehicle with their lights flashing as he said it was an extremely dangerous situation and my car was sure to be hit. He was able to get a tow truck to me before Hyundai. For hours, numerous people were forced to brake quickly/swerve into other lane to avoid hitting my car. This occurred right before an intersection, putting 4 directions of drivers at risk of collision. I stood in the rain, near my car, attempting to help direct drivers away from the lane until the police officer showed up. The vehicle is now at the dealership which confirmed engine failure, pending replacement. Possibly related, this vehicle had the catalytic convertor replaced 3 months prior. It is not yet confirmed if this contributed to the engine failure.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed with engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

Purchased the car in March 2021 with 41,391 miles on it. The day after I picked it up check engine light came on checked the code it was a P0420 catalyst system efficiency below threshold, contacted dealer they took the car in and replaced the catalytic converter. Now 8 months later & a little less than 15,000 miles the check engine light came on again and guess what code popped up? P0420 now I am not an auto expert but I don't think its right that a catalytic converter would need to be replaced twice in that short time frame. Time to figure out what is causing this considering I am not the only one who has reported this

The engine in my 2019 Hyundai Tucson turned off while driving down the interstate without any lights or warnings. My 2 year old was in the back seat at the time, and this could have caused a significant risk to not only myself and son, but others on the road if we were not traveling at highway speed. The vehicle was safely pulled over to the side of the road and would not restart. I got it towed to the dealership it was purchased from and they informed me they have been having a lot of issues with engines recently and mine would need to be replaced. It has now been sitting at the dealership since Thanksgiving waiting to be serviced, which is covered under manufacture warranty. It is located at Hyundai of Brunswick in Brunswick, Ga and can be accessed if needed.
