Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
In June of 2023 at around 79,000 miles. I was driving on the highway and had a sudden loss in acceleration and would not go above 65 mph. During the inspection, the dealership ran the vehicle through 3 tests of oil consumption and it failed 2 out of 3 which did not result in a replacement of the oil pan system. My car continues to burn through oil at an increased rate (every 3000 miles). I know because the dip stick is completely dry when checking it. In July of 2024 at around 84,000 miles, while driving on the interstate, I experienced a loss in acceleration again. My Tucson would not accelerate over 65mph. I took it into the dealership and they found that my catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The replacement was estimated to cost around $5000. For each incident, there were no warning lamps that illuminated on the dash. The oil light did not come on nor did the engine light come on.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
While driving home from work, my engine all of sudden started making a loud knocking noise sounded like you were going up a roller coaster. The oil light started flickering and then the engine light came on. I honestly didn't know if I was going to make it home due to the noise and the car was shaking while driving. I had to have it towed to the dealership. The dealership confirmed the engine needs replaced. I can't even get a new engine anywhere because no one can order one or find one in stock new. I feel it is a safety issue because the engine could have failed on the highway while driving putting myself and others at risk of an accident or maybe even death.

Potential Consequences:
While driving home from a doctors appointment my engine all of sudden started making a loud knocking noise, the oil light flickered on and off and the check engine light came on. I honestly wasn't sure if I would make it home with the loud noise the engine was making and the car was starting to shake while driving. I did have it towed to the dealership (I have 2 2017 Tucsons both currently at the dealership with blown engines under 60000 miles) and they confirmed the engine needed replaced. I feel this is a safety concern because the engine could have failed while driving putting myself and others at risk of an accident or maybe even death.

This is the second time this year one of the doors refused to open. In May the front passenger door would only open if outside handle was jiggled a few times. Two weeks ago rear door behind driver refuses to open at all - from inside or out! I have small children and this is a safety issue!! I’m terrified either the kids or I will become trapped in an emergency or other unsafe situation. In additional to the emotional impact of this is the financial. The interior door panel - which is plastic - most likely will break and need replacement. Vehicle needs to be in shop for nearly 2 weeks. I can’t trust this vehicle and will never buy this brand again. In the interim a safety recall needs to be initiated. I would not want to dump this unsafe vehicle on someone else with children or elderly people they transport. PLEASE DO something soon!

This has been happening on and off for a couple of months now. It also burns thru my oil change in less than a week. I took my Hyundai into the dealer multiple times because of the way it drove since 2019 and they always sent me away saying that it was normal. But this car has been a constant stress in my life. Driving it has felt dangerous. Something is definitely WRONG with it and I’m not sure why this recall on the engine now powering up hasn’t hit yet. Death trap of a car.

Potential Consequences:
Hello, I have a serious problem with my Hyundai Tucson 2017 which is excessively burning oil. An oil change has been done on December 26 2023 (125.600) and a service was due 3 month later (3.000 miles) to perform an oil change but when I went for the oil change on March 26, 2024 at Jiffy Lube, they noticed that there was no oil in the engine and no leaks and suspected that the vehicle might burn oil and the performed a full synthetic oil change (service due after 7500 miles) and after 2800 miles on May 17, 2024 when I checked the oil level, I couldn't see any mark on the stick. I brought them the car and they checked if there was any leak then they filled up the engine. I was monitoring and on June 15, 2024 after 780 miles the level was below the minimum level. I bought a Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil 5W-30 and filled up the engine up to the maximum level mark on the stick. 2 weeks later, on June 28 I noticed that the oil level was close to the minimum level again. I booked an appointment at Hyundai dealership at Gaithersburg, MD and they refused to check the vehicle without a payment. I paid for the diagnosis and 2 day after they ended up saying that the vehicle is burning 1 quart every 2660 miles (which is below what we observed) and they asked me to pay $1235 for a combustion chamber cleaning to which they added it might not work. I am submitting this request for you to solve this safety problem on my car. Thank you
Corrective Action:
Hello, I have a serious problem with my Hyundai Tucson 2017 which is excessively burning oil. An oil change has been done on December 26 2023 (125.600) and a service was due 3 month later (3.000 miles) to perform an oil change but when I went for the oil change on March 26, 2024 at Jiffy Lube, they noticed that there was no oil in the engine and no leaks and suspected that the vehicle might burn oil and the performed a full synthetic oil change (service due after 7500 miles) and after 2800 miles on May 17, 2024 when I checked the oil level, I couldn't see any mark on the stick. I brought them the car and they checked if there was any leak then they filled up the engine. I was monitoring and on June 15, 2024 after 780 miles the level was below the minimum level. I bought a Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil 5W-30 and filled up the engine up to the maximum level mark on the stick. 2 weeks later, on June 28 I noticed that the oil level was close to the minimum level again. I booked an appointment at Hyundai dealership at Gaithersburg, MD and they refused to check the vehicle without a payment. I paid for the diagnosis and 2 day after they ended up saying that the vehicle is burning 1 quart every 2660 miles (which is below what we observed) and they asked me to pay $1235 for a combustion chamber cleaning to which they added it might not work. I am submitting this request for you to solve this safety problem on my car. Thank you

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
There are two issues. Acceleration failure while driving and excessive oil leaks that require continually adding oil to the engine. Yes, it is available for inspection on request. The acceleration failure is a safety risk and does put others in danger when I cannot accelerate when needed. For example, entering a freeway. The car has stalled and cut out going only 15 mph. This never happened while stopped, just as I was accelerating from a stopped position. I cannot get on roads where the speed limit is above 50 mph because the car will not go over 50 mph. The manufacturer has inspected these problems. Charged me to correct them, and a month later the problems returned. NO warning lights, or anything, at any time.
