Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The check engine light started flashing and the vehicle would not go over 25 miles per hour. Thankfully I was pulling into a parking lot when the reduction in speed occurred. If this had happened on the interstate (which I commute on regularly) it could have been extremely dangerous. Hyundai dealership never returned my calls about service, I had the vehicle towed to another service provider (Jensen Tire & Auto) who performed a diagnostic which showed codes P0300/0302/1326/0011. They also said the engine was 2 quarts low on oil and there was no sign of an oil leak. The vehicle mileage was at 74344. I had oil changed at 71579 miles with full synthetic, and at 66230 miles prior to that. There is no sign of oil leak where I park the car. I regularly change my oil and service my car according to the manufacturer recommendation (just not at the dealership). This problem is not on the recall list for this vehicle, yet there are several instances of this posted in online forums. (https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/tucson/engine-burning-oil-problems.php). This problem is not due to lack of proper care, but to a dangerous defect in the Tuscon 2017 engine that misuses oil and causes a sudden an unexpected decrease in acceleration.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I am writing to bring a critical matter to your attention concerning my 2017 Hyundai Tucson. On July 1st, 2021, while driving my vehicle, I encountered a sudden loss of engine power with no prior warning. Concurrently, the engine light illuminated and began flashing, indicating a severe problem. After reaching the AutoZone store located at 720 Dairy Ashford, I promptly explained the situation to their staff, who graciously conducted a diagnostic check on my vehicle. To my astonishment, they informed me that my car had a complete lack of engine oil, and Code #P1326 was being displayed, despite recently undergoing servicing at North Freeway Hyundai for an open recall and at my local Firestone. Both service centers even performed a complimentary inspection, during which no issues were reported regarding the engine oil level. However, I did inform the Firestone location about a noticeable difference in performance before they serviced my vehicle, which was duly noted in the report. This leads me to assume that the engine was displaying signs of damage before my visit to Firestone.

Potential Consequences:
my 2017 Tucson started using more oil between oil changes back in January/Feb of this year (2023). I took it to the Hyundai dealership I purchased it from & they performed an 'oil test' on it @ that time. It past the test & they told me everything was fine. On Good Friday 4/7/23 I had an oil change, again was told everything looked good & was fine. On Friday 5/12/23 (5 weeks to the day)I was on way home from work, my vehicle started to make a horrible banging noise. Soon as I got home, my husband checked it & vehicle was down 4 quarts of oil. Not one sensor light came on warning me of this either. How in 5 weeks did vehicle consume 4 qrts? I park on pavement and there are ZERO oil puddles under vehicle. I had vehicle towed back to the same dealership, I was told engine was blown and there was nothing they could do for fixing it unless I wanted to pay (no warranty) because I have 117K on vehicle. I also spoke with Hyundai corporate and they told me the same thing. I have a 1.6 GDI engine. That particular one is not recalled (yet) but, it has the EXACT SAME ISSUES as every other Kia and Hyundai that is being recalled. With the complaints & concerns I had with it and its a KNOWN issue for Hyundai motors having this issue, why wasn't I offered a knock sensor to help prevent this? How did vehicle consume 4 quarts in 5 wks & not one warning light came on? How can the dealership/company stand behind faulty vehicles? These are not little fixes and right now, we cant fix ours becuase we cant afford it. We are paying our monthly loan payment on a dead horse, so to speak. I called a lawyer and unfortunately, I was told they cant help me. Someone has to hold these companies accountable for known faulty equipment. I was lucky vehicle didn't catch on fire or it just 'died' and and accident occurred due to it.
