Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
On [July 4, 2025], while driving, my vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power followed by smoke and flames coming from the engine compartment. The fire required emergency response and caused significant damage to the vehicle. Thankfully, no one was injured, but the incident posed a serious risk to my safety and others on the road. I had not received any prior warning signs such as engine knocking or warning lights. The fire appears to be directly related to the known defect outlined in Recall 209. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate this incident and ensure Hyundai is held accountable for the full scope of this defect, including fire risk. I am also seeking assistance in ensuring Hyundai provides appropriate compensation or resolution for the damages caused.

Potential Consequences:
Vehicle Make/Model/Year: Hyundai Tucson 2017 NHTSA: Recall Number 21V727000 Description of Problem: My vehicle is affected by a known safety recall related to the engine (likely recall campaign P1326 or similar, affecting Hyundai engines). I contacted the authorized Hyundai dealership to schedule the recall service. However, the dealership is requiring me to pay out-of-pocket for parts and/or tests — specifically, they mentioned charging for testing engine gaskets/joints — before confirming whether they will replace the engine under the recall. The recall notice clearly states that diagnosis, testing, and any necessary engine replacement should be done at no cost to the consumer. The dealership’s request for payment appears to be in violation of federal recall laws. I am being forced to delay this safety repair because I cannot afford these unexpected charges, which I believe are not allowed under NHTSA recall policies. This compromises my safety and could affect many other consumers in the same situation. Please investigate this dealership’s handling of the recall. I am requesting that Hyundai be held accountable for ensuring proper and legal recall service.

Hyundai Motor America
Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While driving under normal conditions, the engine began misfiring and losing power. Inspection revealed that two of the spark plugs had suffered a broken ceramic insulator, which likely occurred during a pre-ignition or detonation. As a result, the ceramic insulators were pushed through the engine causing at least one of the exhaust valves to burn leading to loss of compression resulting in engine failure on the highway. This engine has no current recall, despite numerous similar complaints. Hyundai has issued detonation-related recalls for other engines (like the Theta II), yet the 1.6L Turbo GDI engine in this Tucson is also experiencing similar failures. At the time of this complaint there are 955 complaints in the NTHSA database about this vehicle with more than half citing engine failure issues — many of them sudden and severe failures while driving. This creates both a safety risk and an excessive financial burden. These failures occur without warning and can leave the driver stranded. It is concerning that Hyundai has not acknowledged a defect pattern, despite consistent failure modes being reported across this engine type. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate the 1.6L Gamma II Turbo engine for potential systemic detonation or pre-ignition issues that can lead to severe engine damage. A recall or special service campaign should be considered, and Hyundai should be held accountable to cover these repairs.

Hyundai Motor America
Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle is experiencing severe engine shaking and misfiring during operation. Initial diagnostics confirmed that the spark plugs and ignition coils are functioning correctly and are not the source of the problem. A compression test revealed that two cylinders have no compression, indicating a likely internal engine failure. Potential causes include damaged or worn piston rings, valves, or a blown head gasket. This condition results in rough idling, reduced power, poor drivability, and potential long-term engine damage if not addressed promptly. Immediate engine repair or replacement is required.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
While driving, the vehicle started knocking and jerking, lost power and began to run roughly. The check engine light initially flashed and then turned solid before the vehicle shut off. The next day, I took the vehicle to the dealership for a diagnostic after experiencing problems with knocking when the check engine light illuminated. The codes were P302 and 304 indicating misfiring. The diagnostic tech wrote the problem up as having oil in the cylinder and suggesting engine/turbo replacement for approximately $15,000.00. The engine has less than 100,000 miles. I asked about the 10/100. After inquiring about the recalls for GDI engines in the 2017 Tucson for rods causing engine fires due to oil leaking into the cylinders, the service agent stated that it was only the 2.0 and not the 1.6 with recalls. I said sir it is the same issue: high oil consumption, sputtering and knocking, check engine light indicating misfire. Now the oil is accumulating in the cylinders. He stated that because I am the secondary owner neither the dealership nor Hyundai will correct the problem. However, if I was the original owner the powertrain warranty would cover the repair. The problem with the 2017 GDI, DCT in the Tucson is a safety issue for all owners. Escalated the issue to Hyundai Motor America, agent Kyrillos, who said that he would contact the dealership to check for prior authorization with the dealership to see if they would cover it under the recall. After numerous calls (on my behalf) and finally speaking with Kyrillos, I was advised that the dealership denied the repair. I requested supervisor contact and have not had any further communication from the company. I did send a follow up email asking when I could expect to hear from them.

I was returning home from a 224 mile trip. I was driving 65mph with the AC on low. Vehicle started slowing and losing power. I pulled over at the next possible location when I noticed the engine light was blinking then stayed solid yellow. I tried to rev the engine a few times only to be met with engine shutter and misfire. Had to have the vehicle towed the remaining 65 miles home. Took the vehicle to my mechanic where he stated cylinder 3 and 4 misfiring and told me this is a common problem with this vehicle. After doing my own investigations, I see this vehicle has an extensive history of the same problem from several other people. But yet no recall.... Why?

It is my belief that the engine is failing or has something wrong, due to an engine recall. I started having issues with acceleration and took it to a local mechanic who advised it was an engine issue and needed to be taken to the Hyundai dealer asap. As of today, May 27, 2025, it was taken to Autonation Hyundai in Columbia, SC who is alleging that all engine recalls related to my vehicle are not covering any engine issues. I have had this car for quite a while and have never had any issues until now. Multiple diagnostics have been performed.
