Air bag unit in steering wheel pop outfront windsheild gets ice on the inside when temperature less than 32 degrees
I purchased my vehicle from san francisco, i live in san francisco and only drive in san francisco, however, there's no dealerships that can service my car in san francisco. I'm being asked to drive over 30 miles away across the bridge and i have a phobia of driving across bridges.i will not ask anyone to drive my car. My complaint is that i contacted hyundai and asked what they will do to get my car serviced, and my call is being escalated to another person and i'll receive a call within 3-5 days.in the meantime, i have to hope that my car doesn't cause an accident and if i do get into an accident, will my airbag work?they should have said they will send over a tow truck to pick up my car, and deliver it back to me.that wasn't done of course, because i'm not buying a new car.it is not my fault they don't have a dealership where i purchased my car any longer. What is the manufacture responsible for in making this happen?
Takata recallaccident with another vehicle when my car was in motion on city street
We were going through a green traffic light, we were about the 6th car through the light whenvehicle coming out of nowhere ran the red light from the cross street at about 55mph, did not try to stop, we slowed to almost a stop and swerved to avoid the person.she did not try to stop and t-boned us in the drivers wheel and door, but the airbags did not activate, even with this high speed collision. This is the second accident of this kind where they did not activate. The first was in january and we were rear ended at a high speed while stopped at a traffic light.
My 2012 hyundai tuscon was involved in a serious accident. My daughter was the driver and no other passengers in the vehicle. All airbags in the vehicle deployed at impact except the driver's airbag?i see numerous hyundai recalls and airbag issues on the internet, but no mention of the tuscon. My daughter has serious injuries as a result of the airbag failing to deploy.
Went to christmas parade, going to car pressed remote to unlock car and would not work. Got in carby key and found the headlights & windows & flashers don't work. Had to get ride home and picked up car in morning. All else is fine drives ok.
Brand new car- a few days after purchasing and driving the car, noticed car was not driving right. Several symptoms became noticeable. Car would jerk when accelerating and braking. Cars pick up was delayed and had a very uncomfortable vibration, while in idle and while driving, to the point of getting nauseous while driving in the car. Took car to hyundai service and told them of symptoms and my concerns of something not right with the car. The mechanics felt the problems i explained above and said something was wrong, now had to figure out what exactly. Several tests were done on the car but nothing showed up on electrical grid. Service had to call a higher tech out in california to see what to do next. California tech made them run several tests, all this took more then 2 weeks until they finally figured out that the engines throttle assy was defective and not functioning properly. They said that this also caused the sensor to malfunction. They replaced the throttle assy and claim the car is repaired. No longer trust car is safe to drive due to the electrical and engine defects that where found after the original inspections by the manufacture and the dealership failed to find these defects with the car and sold it.

This car has an automatic transmission and it pulls out of park very easily with no key in the ignition or foot on the brake.this led to my car rolling down a hill and hitting a tree with no one in the drivers seat.when i went to the dealer they tried this on another car in the lot and it did the same thing.i was told by hyundai corporate offices that this is a "campaign" item.i can not find this problem listed and i think it should be addressed before it leads to injury or death.

The horn on the 2012 hyundai tucson is significantly under-powered to the point of being dangerously ineffective in an emergency situation. While it technically works, the sound produced by the horn is too weak relative to typical noise levels in modern urban areas and while driving at freeway speeds.the horn, for practical purposes, is inaudible while driving at freeway speeds where the noise of the passing wind and the distance between cars necessitates that the horn's volume exceed a certain minimum threshold to be heard by other drivers.the horn is so weak that even at a stop light the driver of a car directly in front of me couldn't hear the horn. When the stop light turned green the driver in front of me didn't notice it.even after blowing my horn 2 - 3 times, the driver was still unaware of the light change.it wasn't until the driver behind me blew his horn that the driver in front of me became aware of the light change.the primary purpose of a horn is to warn other nearby drivers in the event of an impending emergency. On more than one occasion, the 2012 hyundai tucson's horn failed to fulfill its purpose. Fortunately, no serious accident has resulted up to this point. Hopefully, this doesn't have to be a case in which someone suffers an accident before the issue is fixed.

Hello, i purchased a 2012 hyundai tuscon, 2wd, and had a terrible time in this vehicle during snowy/wet weather.i live in silver spring, md, and was driving the vehicle in snow on february 21, 2015.the vehicle skidded, the tires spun, and the car got stuck several times.also, the esc (electronic stability control)had to be manually disabled in order to keep from being rear ended, as this functions more like a brake--than a feature to designed to maintain control of the car. I'm originally from chicago, il, and am quite used to driving vehicles in snowy conditions. This was a most unusual and scary experience with the tuscon.i did an internet search and came across several complaints, labeling the stock tires on the tuscon as 'hazardous' in snowy/wet conditions.apparently, other drivers have noticed these tires lose all traction during snowy/wet weather. I'm not sure if other factors beside the tires impacted the car's scary performance during wet/snowy conditions. I did contact hyundai, and they asked me to have the car inspected, which i did. After that i received a letter from the company telling me they had found no problem and that was the end of the discussion.if the problem is limited to the tires, then consumers need to be made aware at the time of purchasing a hyundai tuscon that the tires stocked by hyundai are potentially treacherous in wet/snowy conditions.
The electronic power steering feels stuck,vague,hard,lacks of maneuverability and feedback while driving the vehicle, feeling the sensation that you will lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle goes to either ways (right or left side) giving the impression that you are going to crash.also is very difficult to maintain the vehicle align on the road lane and it has to be corrected constantly requiring more physical effort than normal driving.
My engine seized with 61,500 miles on it.it was serviced regularly and all fluids had just been topped off for a 9 hour drive.was driving on i-5 south 3 and a half hours into our drive and lost power, engine seized

While driving home i heard a sudden strange noise coming from my car. I pulled over and walked around my vehicle to see if i could see anything. Went to start my car back up and it wouldn't start and my engine light came on. Got out popped the hood, looked under the vehicle, and there was oil from my car on the ground. Had to call my insurance company and they towed my vehicle to the dealership.
I was driving and the engine started making a noise. All of a sudden it sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around in the engine and it shut down. I was initially in town when it started and just got on the hwy when she broke down. Hubby, two puppies, and i were stranded in the side of the hwy in 100 degree heat for 2 hrs. Had to rent a moving truck and trailer to make the trek back home to ga. Hyundai service said it threw a rod and shredded in the engine and the entire engine needed replaced.minimum of $5500 for the engine itself.i switched to synthetic oil on the first change when i got her new and was regular with her maintenance. I was not ready to have to get a new vehicle just yet.
I pushed on the gas to accelerate and nothing happened except the rpms spiked to around 5-6k and the engine sounded as if i were in neutral and revving it up aggressively. This has subsequently happened dozens of times when traveling between 30 and 65 mph. It is scary, especially when i need to accelerate, say in a passing situation or when traveling to get out of the way. I've taken the vehicle to hyundai (sheppard in eugene/springfield, or) twice for this issue. Both times, they kept it overnight and returned it to me without fixing anything saying: 1) i was the only one in the world who reported this problem, 2) they couldn't replicate the problem, and 3) there is nothing wrong with my vehicle.
July 2018, tried to pass a car at about 40 mph (speed limit on the road was 50 mph) and my tucson wouldn't accelerate.i gradually pushed the gas pedal to the floor and it stopped accelerating at about 50, but was making this awful winding noise like it was trying to shift gears but couldn't. At this point i'm playing chicken with the car i tried to pass, and there's another car coming towards me. I finally go past the car and started pulling over on the side of the road and all of my dashboard lights came on and the engine is still winding and making noises. I turned the car off and tried to restart. It sputtered at 1st, but did start. I went home, but after that the engine was making awful winding, ticking,and clanking noises. I brought it into the dealer that services my vehicle and after being there for several days, they said it was the engine rod bearing and i needed a new engine. Luckily i have a third party warranty that is covering it, but after doing some research i see that this is a huge issue for hyundai tucson owners and that hyundai had this same issue with their sonatas.. Apparently the sonatas have a recall for this same issue but not the tucson. As of today, my car is still at the dealer and hyundai has pushed the eta of my motor out to november, but this is the 2nd delay and i'm not so sure that it will be ready next month after reading all of the stories of others that have had their tucsons at the dealers since april and may and keep getting their ets's for their engines pushed back.

Just had car services at hyundai dealership two weeks ago with oil change and rust recall along with multipoint inspection. Friday 6/10/2017 was driving home turning left in a busy intersectionand hear a loud ping ping from under the hood, and i can no longer accelerate. Cars are hooking behind me as i turn on my hazards and am able to finally coast to the side street and turn off the car. I was almost rear ended twice. Took the car into the dealer. They broke down the engine and said that they engine seized up and the bearings had metal shaving all over down to the oil pan. They said this looked to be consistent with what they have been seeing in the recalled 2.4 l engines. They filed a claim with hyundaisince i am the second owner the are declining the repair request because i am the second owner and have 80,000 miles. So much for helping your customer that was almost kills because of engine failure

2012 hyundai tucson. Consumer writes in regards to fuel switch safety recall. *ldthe consumer stated the fuel switch failed and caused engine failure prior to the warranty expiring but, there was no repair available at the time.
I received a safety recall on nov. 27th on the vehicle.i made an appt with a hyudai dealer for service.on dec. 2 i was driving to the dealership on a city road, after accelerating from a stoplight stop, the engine blew.luckily we were all at a low speed as the light had just gone green.dealership says it threw a rod through block and sent me a picture.this car has the theta ii engine.my model and year have not been involved in the recalls nor lawsuits for the issue the engine is having in other models, but this engine had only 80k, has been regularly serviced, and i cant imagine what else would cause such a thing other than a manufacturing defect like the one i am reading about with the debris.
On july 4, 2019 i was driving and my vehicle suddenly broke down while driving about 60mph in manahawkin nj on rt. 72.i have not had any issues leading up to this.i had to have the vehicle towed.since the nearest hyundai dealership was closed b/c of the holiday i had it towed to mr. Tire. They at first thought it was the alternator then the starter, but then decided it was an engine issue.i then had it towed to the dealership and they confirmed it was an engine failure and it would be covered under warranty.however it took a few weeks to even get that determination.then i was told that parts were on back order and it would be a minimum of 3 months.after weighing options i decided to sadly trade in the vehicle.on september 9, 2019 i received a recall notice on the car (nhtsa recall #: 19vx-063; hyundai recall #: 181) for oil leak that could lead to engine damage, stalled engine, risk or crash or fire.i am very upset that i am just receiving this recall now and the incident could have been prevented.luckily i was not on a very busy road at the time of the break down but it could have very well put me in a dangerous situation.
I received the recall of my 2012 hyundai tuscon. As a precaution i took it to the dealership to address the recall 181 and an electrical issue i had with the power windows. I visited the dealer two weeks apart andsat at the dealership for more than 5 hours with the second visit being for 8 hours. I was told something was leaking in steering and that had tl be fixed. I left with my car and approximately 8 days later there was a clicking and clanking aound coming from the engine, ive never heard the sound, yet on my paperwork it stated i complained about the sound, which i never did. My car started to stall and lose speed. I was over 100 miles from home and my car was failing in the mountains at that. I called the service department multiple times and never received a call back. Thank god for my insurance towing the car to the closest dealership. A day and half later i was told the engine was gone! i visited the dealership on 07/31/20 & 08/14/20... They documented a rattling rattling sound in the front in... Never addressed me about this 'sound' , did a so call inspection of the car and next thing i am told is i cant drive it because the engine could blow. No return from hyundai service manager, no claim filed and i am still out of state without an answer. Called customer service sat online 30 mins waiting for a rep before their line disconnected and them another hour. Filed a case and now still stuck waiting for these people to do their job with out putting my life at risk.
My engine was fine and i've kept up with all of my oil changes and everything. I want to go get some recalls fixed on my car and afterwards now i need a new engine because my engine is tapping. A hyundai of silsbee texas tells me that i need to give them $300 and they will diagnose it and then let me know if the recalls affected my engine.when i brought my car in there was no problems with my engine. I'm a single mom and i don't have the money to give hyundai to try to diagnose my vehicle.

I was driving down the highway going about 70 miles and hour and for no reason i lost power , the oil light and battery light flashed briefly and thankfully i was able toget to the side of the road off the highway. It turned off. I was able to get it started agin and baby it to the nearest gas station less than a mile down the road. My husband told me to just baby it home and he would take a look at it. It started making a ticking sound. I did get it home and my husband said my engine wasshot. Now i don't even know how this is possible for a car that was running just fine and then all this werid stuff happens. Please look into this. I couldhave been killed. Now we have a dead car that we still have to pay for. And we can't afford a new engine plus the labor to put it in. Now we are trying to find a new car.
I was driving my tucson about 50-55 mph on a two way highway (3) when my car started making a loud noise,the noise was like it was knocking and screeching. The car then started shacking and slowed to about 20-25 mph.i put my flashers on as several cars passed me.the engine light came on and i pulled off the road.this was the first time any of these things happened with my car.i called my husband, who was out of town.he had the car towed to his business and then towed to a repair business once he returned.his mechanic looked at the car and told my husband that the car had a thrown rod.he saved oil which he said has shavings in it.he also told him that hyundai tucson's, santa fe, and sonata have had these problems.my husband went to the dealership where the car was purchased. The manager said this model has not been recalled.however, we received a card from hyundai on approximately june 12-14, 2019 stating that our vehicle was under a recall and that we would be contacted.the vehicle has been serviced regularly with oil changes, etc. Which are documented.the vehicle has 150,229 miles.in light of the mechanic telling us about this problem, we fill that hyundai should do something about this. The mechanic indicated that hyundai recalled the santa fe and sonata with the exact same motor, but did not recall the tucson. He also indicated that 30,000 tucson's were recalled for the exact same problem as ours in canada.how can this be there and not in the united states?this was very dangerous.i am relieved that i was able to get off the road without being rear ended.please let us know what can be done by hyundai.i can submit a photo of our vehicle and the oil in the jar, and the motor, if that would help.i had to look for this website to see what our recourse was.most people i have talked with are not aware of this website for problems.
On 5/10/2020, check engine light went on, engine sputtered, we were able to exit freeway and pull over and by that time, car was shaking very hard. Towed to mechanic, car requires engine overhaul. Car then towed to hyundai dealership, car needs a full engine rebuild. I have maintained my car with oil changes and the car has 100086 miles. There are numerous reports of failure of the theta ii 2.4 liter engines, which my car has, yet no recall issues. Mechanic said parts alone will be around $6000 dollars, if you add labor it's probably more than the car is worth. I am concerned that there is a defect in the engine that poses a risk to life. A few months prior, this car also had a complete failure (lost all power) on the freeway.
The vehicle caught on fire in the driveway - it had not been driven or even started in over 28 hours.the fire started under the hood.the fire department was called and it was deemed a total loss.the insurance company did not conduct an investigation due to the age of the vehicle.the dealership did full brake work 10 days prior to the fire occurring.
I should start by stating that this has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle since i got it last year. At random times, while driving, my vehicle will not allow me to go above 2500k rpms, even with the gas pedal fully depressed. This may happen while i am on a slow road or, as today, when i am on the highway. It is a safety concern because i will need to merge onto the highway or speed up for some other reason and suddenly i have no power. I will be going 30mph and entering a 70mph roadway. The only way to stop this is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and then turn it back on. I have taken it to my hyundai dealer multiple times and they have been unable to fix it or address it in any way whatsoever. It is a huge safety issue that they will not address.
Daughter driving down road. Vehicle started slowing down and warning lights came on. Vehicle died in middle of highway. Had to be towed and the shop believes it is the engine. Oil level was good and had been changed. Appears to be exactly what others are reporting.
While driving on the freeway i lost power in my car was able to pull over to the shoulder and had no power to the car wouldn't start, called triple a and towed to their nearest facility they diagnosed a seized engine and bad starter,because if hyundai warranty had it towed to a hyundai dealer, this was at the end of july 2018, they agreed the engine seized and bad starter, they approved it as under warranty. They do not know when they will have an engine as they are on back order worldwide.

I managed to get home and then quickly took it to my local mechanic; who informed me it sounded like a spun bearing. He stated he would not know for sure until he took apart the motor. The mechanic advised that i take it to the dealer since i purchased the vehicle brand new. I called my two local dealers who informed me the car was out of warranty and also not part of the theta ii engine recall campaign. Since the car was not built in the alabama plant; it also did not qualify for the extended warranty given to vehicles built here with that engine. I was quoted an estimated $10,000 by the dealer in regards to putting in a remanufactured engine on the vehicle. After receiving these responses i notified hyundai's warranty dispute resolution. They too informed me the vehicle was out of warranty. They informed they needed to take apart the engine to see what the issue was. However, the gamble was that i would most likely have to pay for the labor of this. I was without transportation and gave up resolving this through hyundai. My mechanic was able to find me a used engine with low miles (70k) to put in my vehicle. The total cost for the engine was shy of $5,000 which wasn't too far from what the car is worth now.
Engine failure while driving on high way. Sudden power loss, jerking, and loud knocking noises. Luckily we managed to get off of the highway.car had to be towed to the dealership. There was faint cyclic noise beforehand, but no engine check light or other warning.the engine has very low miles (less than 40k miles) and was maintained per recommended schedule.symptoms are identical to the theta ii engine failure but does not appear to be included in the sonata engine recall.
While driving on the interstate at speeds of 70 mph the engine seized and threw a rod, despite following the proscribed maintenance schedule. This caused the entire engine to blow, smoke, and leak oil all over the highway. This was incredibly dangerous not only to us who were in the vehicle, but surrounding vehicles as well, as were travelling on a busy interstate on christmas day. We were very lucky just to be able to make it to the side of the road before the vehicle entirely shut down and stopped moving. This is the same exact engine that has been recalled by hyundai, just in a different model.
The engine started making noise and caught on fire. It was running.
While traveling on the highway my husband and i started to hear a loud clanking noise under our hood. We barely made it off the next exit, with vehicles having to quickly go around us because our speed was slowing down and then vehicle died, we were stranded in the heat on the side of the road with our dogs. After speaking with hyundai corporate they told us to have it towed to the nearest hyundai dealership. We did and a case was opened with hyundai. It was diagnosed at the hyundai dealership as premature engine failure due to no fault of ours but the warranty department denied our claim because we are second owners. The engine in our car has been recalled in other models but hyundai is trying to hide the fact that it extends to the tucson. It is extremely dangerous to not recall and inform all hyundai owners with this particular engine to take it in for repair immediately! the engine will fail with no warning lights and fast, usually on the highway. It fails at very low miles when you would least expect an engine to fail. It is a huge safety concern for the owners and other drivers on the road.
I purchased my vehicle from san francisco, i live in san francisco and only drive in san francisco, however, there's no dealerships that can service my car in san francisco. I'm being asked to drive over 30 miles away across the bridge and i have a phobia of driving across bridges.i will not ask anyone to drive my car. My complaint is that i contacted hyundai and asked what they will do to get my car serviced, and my call is being escalated to another person and i'll receive a call within 3-5 days.in the meantime, i have to hope that my car doesn't cause an accident and if i do get into an accident, will my airbag work?they should have said they will send over a tow truck to pick up my car, and deliver it back to me.that wasn't done of course, because i'm not buying a new car.it is not my fault they don't have a dealership where i purchased my car any longer. What is the manufacture responsible for in making this happen?

Sudden loss of acceleration/power while driving car straight through a parking lot. Thank goodness i hadn't made it to the highway! all dash lights came on and car came to rolling stop. Turned car off and when i turned it back on there was a loud rattle in the engine while accelerating. Took it to a mechanic right away and was advised the engine would need replacement (though they did not take it apart to determine exact issue). Issue seems consistent with other complaints about this make/model and in line with the issues from the recent engine recalls on sante fe and sonata models. Car only has 82k miles and is now complete junk. Hyundai won't help.
On november 23, 2018, on rt 110 in farmingdale, ny. I heard something shatter but could still drive on the highway.i stopped and looked underneath but saw nothing. I drove away for twenty minutes and the engine fell out. I was stopped suddenly by the collapse of the engine.

My car has had a knocking noise and when i called the dealership in march 2019 they told me that this was due to a recent recall that came out for the oil pan is leaking and told me to wait until they had a fix for it so i waited brought my car in for the recall. They performed the recall it did not fix the knocking noise i called corporate to file a claim they had me return to the dealership and run diagnostics in determining the diagnostics i am in need of a new engine however they only want to pay 2000 of the $3000 to $6000 it's going to cost to replace the short block engine. They also stated they have no idea what is wrong with my current engine nor do they know why it failed and they also don't know why my check engine light never came on. The local dealership also told me it was fine to continue driving the vehicle.
Engine went off-time and lost all compression in each cylinder.check engine light came on 3/8/19, car ran ok through 3/11/19, then had power issues.it would not start on 3/12/19 and has not been run since. Both a private mechanic and the local dealership confirmed the timing issue and the loss of compression.the car has 83k miles.
I purchased this vehicle in august, 2018 as a used unit. Starting the next month i would be driving down the road and doing the same speed with no acceleration on my part and the motor would rev up by itself to 6000-8000 rpm and the vehicle does not gain any speed. This has happened intermittentlydescribed to my mechanic when i took in for an oil change and he couldn't figure out what could have happened. Thanksgiving day traveling about 95 miles to my brother's house and did the revving 3x's. Since thanksgiving the same problem has happened approximately 4 more times. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and maintaining the same speed. The speeds have been between 40 to 65 mph, so there isn't one set speed that it happens. Since it doesn't gain/lose speed it hasn't been a problem yet.

Driving along the interstate when engine had reduced engine power for a moment, then stalled around 70mph. Made it to an exit ramp luckily. Engine hesitated to restart, once it did start engine started knocking and had next to no power. Towed to hyundai dealer, hyundai dealer stated that hyundai has had major problems with these engines and hyundai should cover it fully. Dealership proceeded to pull oil pan and valve cover without our consent and with no communication for days. Confirmed the engine was bad, metal shavings in oil pan, rod bearings failed. Common problem. Waiting on hyundai for approval. Service advisor quit, we were informed 6 days later that hyundai is only willing to cover 65% of cost and we would have to pay 35% ($3,500.0) out of pocket. We refused to pay; they stated we would have to pay diagnosis, but they ended up waiving that. Technicians did not fully secure oil pan or valve cover. Oil under car where it was parked, have photos and videos to back this claim up. Have rental car and many tow bills in to the mix now. Why would the dealer tell us hyundai fully cover this but they don't? we need this issue fixed. Many other tucson owners deal with the same problem, with the same engine as the other cars, but theirs get replaced free or charge and expenses paid by hyundai.
Heard a knocking noise while driving on city street, pulled over. No warning lights came on dashboard to indicate any kind of problem. Contact my husband who informed me not to move the car, and to have it towed to our home has not moved since towing. Oil change was done 3 months prior. A family friend informed me about a recall on hyundai vehicles,i was not aware of any re-call nor was i contacted by hyundai. I call to inquire the week of 08/26 - 08/30, provided my info and was informed that no recall was listed for my vehicle under the vin#, about a week later after my call, i got a notice in the mail 09/09/19 for re-call campaign 181 - 19v063 spoke with a representative got a case#.towed my vehicle to dealer ship 09/16/2019 was advised may need a new engine.
While driving my vehicle it completed shut off. I had it towed back to my work and was told it possibly threw a rod. I then received a recall notice that there is possible engine oil leak- which is exactly what caused my vehicle to malfunction. Once the recall letter was received i called hyundai of orange park and was told it probably was related and that they would look it over. Once it was there i was informed since there isn't currently a remedy they cannot do anything at this time- although originally i was told that they could possibly fix it and then they would be reimbursed by hyundai. I then had to have my vehicle towed to my home after themtrying to charge me a diagnostic fee which they ended up waiving. It has now been months since i have heard regarding what the remedy will be with the engine. During this time i have had to purchase another vehicle while still paying on a personal loan that i received to purchase the vehicle. I am trying to get this taken care of but can't seem to get any resolution.
Driving my 2012 hyundai tucson in jersey city, nj, engine start making a noise, i stopped,it was no any light on on my dash. Shot off my car, the stars again, noise was still on.... Take a carto hyundai dealership, left there for couple days, then resilt is coming? car needs a full engine . I have maintained my car with oil changes and the car has 56700 miles. There are numerous reports of failure of the theta ii 2.4 liter engines, which my car has, yet no recall issues. Will be around $6000 dollars,hyundai dealer tells me, my car will not cover by warranty, because i'm not a first owneri'am concerned that there is a defect in the engine that poses a risk to life. And hyundai manufacturers should take a full responsibilities of their engine failures on tucson vehicles.

Traveling straight on interstate, spontaneously lost all power to vehicle after a loud metal crunching sound. Hardly was able to drift out of interstate traffic on to shoulder of road. I was unable to turn ignition over, oil and engine caution lights were on. No visible issues or leaks from engine. One owner vehicle, traveled mostly highway miles, had regular maintenance from dealer ship where purchased from, and only had 70776 miles on a 2012 model.

In october 2019 i took my car to hyundai to have them service for the engine and engine cooling recall. They replaced the part and i was on my way. I serviced my car regularly, and just two weeks after my last oil change i was driving 70mph down the highway and the car started sputtering and then completely died. Luckily i was able to get pulled over where i attempted to start it again and it made a loud knock and then wouldn't start. I had the car towed to a nearby mechanic who said the engine had a huge hole in it. I asked if it could be that the folks who changed my oil messed something up, but he said it was unlikely because there was oil in the engine and that it was more likely something faulty in the manufacturing of the car or potentially due to the recall service not being done properly. So i did some research and there are tons of other 2012 hyundai tucson owners who have experienced the same exact issue. I then saw there is a class action lawsuit for similar issues, however the 2012 models weren't included in the lawsuit. This is clearly something that hyundai needs to take responsibility for and include this model in the lawsuit, or at the very east make right and fix these engines at no cost and pay for the inconvenience and expenses incurred for rentals, towing, and time away from work.

Engine failed in oct.2018 in big bear, california. After driving for several hours up the mountain, a loud rattling sound occurred driving at low speeds in the city.independent local mechanic determined it was the pistons not working properly causing complete engine failure.mechanic confirmed the vehicle could not be driven much further, it would not have made it down the mountain, and i was lucky it didn't fail on the mountain.since engine still under warranty, i had to tow it down the mountain to nearest dealership in loma linda, ca.at dealership, determined and confirmed engine failed and under warranty.no parts available (perhaps due to other model recall?).given smaller dealer loaner vehicle - insufficient for my needs. It is now january 2019 and no part potentially available until late february.(is this the same engine as the sante fe and sonata recall?) dealership referred to hyundai customer care center in december.case filed.case manager contacted mid-december with little information and offer of monetary compensation for time w/o vehicle.no other contact from case manager for over a month now.hyundai customer care center indicates there is no one else other than non-responsive case manager that i can contact.if there are no replacement engines available - this must be a part of a larger problem.i want my 2012 tucson repaired or replaced.and, i believe the 2012 tucson should be added to the hyundai engine recall issue.

I was driving my car down a busier road when the engine had shut off and the car had stopped running. I could not get it jumped or started. I had not heard anything about a recall until i looked it up. I hadn't received any letters in the mail stated the recall on the car or i would not have been driving it. That was the last week of april. I am now getting frustrated because i'm making payments on a car that won't start and i can't drive. It's been over a month and i haven't heard anything.
Purchased car used on 10/24/18. "catastrophic engine failure" occurred 53 days after purchase. Entering highway, accelerated above 45mph, had trouble changing shifts (automatic), "sputtering" sound from the engine and could no longer accelerate, engine cut off suddenly, all dash lights came on. Was able to coast safely to the shoulder. Was not able to turn engine back on. Took to auto shop - was first told it was a bad starter, starter was replaced but still not fixed. Next diagnosis: it was a bad battery, battery was replaced but still not fixed. Next diagnosis: bad wiring from battery to starter but still not fixed. More investigating by auto shop and reported that timing chain was presumed broken and caused engine to "lock up". "engine rebuild" not recommended, but 2.4l engines are no longer manufactured, the only option is to get a used one. My mileage was 86,722 at time of incident.
I was driving the vehicle on the garden state parkway at approximately 70 mph.i heard a bang come from the engine area and the car lost all power. All warning lights came on and smoke was coming out from front of car. I coasted to the shoulder. Fortunately this was early sunday morning with very little traffic on the highway. T could have been rear ended. I got out of car and noticed a puddle of oil under the car. I had the car towed home.the engine has failed. The car had regular oil changes with synthetic oil. 104k mileage. This car uses the 2.4 theta engine. Afterresearching the failure, i have found this is the same engine used in the sonata and kia sportage that also have a problem with engine failures.
Noticed a knocking had started and soon after the car stalled on the freeway.towed to mechanic and then dealership.engine failure.metal shavings found in oil.failed rod bearing.
My car (2012 hyundai tucson) was effected by recall 181, announced in april of 2019. My engine seized while driving down the highway at 80 mph, luckily we were able to pull on to the shoulder safely. Had it been a mile or two down the road this would have happened in a tunnel and the outcome could have been dramatically different as there is no shoulder. I had the car towed to my local garage where they tested various things including starter, alternator, battery etc and determined the engine had seized. I had to have the car towed to the dealership and again after running diagnostic it was determined that the engine is seized. Now i am in a waiting game to see if hyundai will do the right thing and replace the engine.
We had the car towed to our mechanic because the engine light came on. The mechanic tested the car and heard a tapping noise when stepping on the accelerator. The mechanic noted that there were large metal shards in oil pan. The shards were not present in the oil when oil was drained out. The metal shards were only visible once the oil pan was removed. The mechanic completed additional inspection to ensure there were no other issues. After removing the oil pump, he found all the rod bearings had play. This appears to be a manufacture defect. I spoke to the service advisor and he told me that a number of their customers were having the same problem, but the 2012 hyundai engine was not on recall.based on research, we discovered that this is a common problem with all 2.4 liter engines on all platforms for kia and hyundai. We took the car to the hyundai dealer and were told we needed to purchase a new redesigned engine. During this conversation, we were notified the new engine has engine rod bearings that are more sturdy. Hyundai currently has a recall for the oil pan and also has recalls for engines in other car models but not this model. A new engine should not be required for an 7 year old car with 80,000 miles. As a car professional, i suspect this is due to the issues with a defective rod bearings thatwear prematurely and result in catastrophic engine damage so the engines should be covered in the recall.
This vehicle is in recall181. I have called hyundai and they will not fix my vehicle until the have the parts to do...

While on a trip to arizona driving about 70 mph on a highway in new mexico.the engine and car jerked really hard and the engine started knocking at around 77,500 miles.it ended up being a spun connecting rod bearing.hyundai is replacing the engines on the santa fe and sonata but not the tucson. I was running synthetic oil and a mobile 1 filter at the time.after going online it seems as if they didn't clean the oil passagesin the crank shaft when they assembled the engine.the tucson should be part of the engine replacement program.2.0 & 2.4 engines have this issue.
I was driving and the engine started making a click click noise. It sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around at the bottom of the engine and lost power. The vehicle broke down and i had to find a to and rental car to get home.hyundai service said i need a new engine, because the entire engine needed replaced. I know there have been several recalls on the hyundai engines and i called the hyundai customer service and flat out told me that my ngine was outside of the warranty and therefore they could not help. I am not ready to have to get a new vehicle, specially in this covid situation. I had a similar issue with a 2003 tuscon santa fe...this engine failure issue is a scam.

I had to replace the entire engine in my vehicle, now hyundai is placing a recall on my vehicle for engine oil leak!my vehicle stalled and engine died when my engine went so i believe this recall had a factor on my engine dying.i was on a highway, heavy traffic when the engine stall, then puttered to the side of the road & quit.afterwards the vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic that diagnosed vehicle as engine failure - which resulted in full engine replacement.i feel that my engine should be fully covered and am requesting a refund for replacement of my engine.i notified hyundai at the time of this incident but they reported that "there is no recalls" for engine or any related "recalls" similar to the malfunction of my engine.........really?the hyundai sonata has the same engine in it 2011 and it has a full recall on that engine.i need a clear explanation please.i will review my supporting documents and can provide a clear & precise date of incident.date below is only a guess.

My vehicle began making a clanking noise from the front of the car while i was driving, i pulled over to check what the noise was, when i stopped the vehicle i looked underneath and saw a fluid coming out, i was able to drive the car home but the clanking was still going then as i tried to go a little faster around 30mph the engine light came on, i pulled into my complex and the car completely died, i waited a few minutes and started the car up again no lights came on but there was still clanking coming from the front. Next morning i drove it up the street to my mechanic the car did the same thing but this time the engine light came on and the oil light was flickering, and as i pulled into the mechanic shop the car died while i was in mid turn. They told me there was a small oil leak but needed to open the engine to find out more. There was a recall on my vehicle so i took it to the hyundai dealer to see if that was the cause they told me it was not, as i did research i found that hyundai has two different cars with the same type of issue with the engine. Hyundai finally came with a diagnostic that it was my spun bearing that was the issue with the engine, which is the exact issue as the two other cars the sonata and santa fe from hyundai with a recall. I have reached out to hyundai manufacturing to inform them of the issue, they told me that the hyundai dealer who did the diagnostic does not have to report these findings if they do not want to. I have seen complaints with my type of vehicle on the interneton carcomplaints.com along with other forums online with this same exact issue on the hyundai tucson 2012.

Also found metal shavings in the oil and debris from the broken engine block caught in the plastic shroud under the engine.

My vehicle has stalled (died) several times on me in the last several months.this happens when i am pulling into traffic or stopping at a light, etc. And is a serious problem because it could cause me to be hit.i took the car to my licensed mechanic and he said there was metal in the variable timing hub...he put the new part on it and then changed the oil and took it for a test drive.on return it was rechecked and found to be full of metal shavings again.he stated i would neednew engine because mine was falling apart.he checked for recalls and found that this problem was a recall on the santa fe and thesonata but not for my tuscon...this does not make sense as these vehicles basically have the same or similar engines.check engine light and oil light came on and stayed on. I was advised by my mechanic to contact you with this problem. I believe tuscons should be added to the recall list before lives are lost. I believe my car should be repaired by the dealership..i would appreciate any help you can give me on this
Driving down interstate 95 in philadelphia, pa (at 55mph) when engine stalled. Was able to get onto shoulder, and had car towed to mechanic. Mechanic tells me that the engine seized (due to no oil getting to the block), and that i would need a new motor. Contacted hyundai usa, and they have done nothing about it. Based on the reviews, it looks like this is a common issue, yet they are doing nothing about it.
When driving the vehicle on a five hour trip, the engine suddenly became very noisy.following evaluation by the dealership it was determined that the engine has a failed rod bearing.the engine was not torn down for a detailed analysis to make this determination.the only avenue offered to repair the vehicle was to install a junk yard engine as parts and engine components are not available through the manufacturer.
Driving along with about 77735 miles on the odometer.while driving to arizona because my mother was in serious condition.(has passed away as of this writing) the engine and entire car shook. Thought i had hit something on the road.looked underneath, no damage and the connecting rod was knocking. Going 70 mph must have broke it loose and spun the bearing.spent $850 to rent a u-haul trailer and truck to tow it back from new mexico to kansas. Dropped the oil pan and metal shavings everywhere in the pan.i see the same 2.4 liter engine in other kia's and hyundai's are being replaced for the same problem.why not the tucson, i know there aren't as many of them as the santa fe's and sonata's.but it is the same exact engine with the same exact problem.i was running quaker state full synthetic oil with a mobil one filter...oil was full with about 5700 miles on it.i never in my life have had and engine failure as i maintain my vehicles well. I bought it with 69,000 on it 10 months ago and still owe $2500.i'm sure i will no longer be a hyundai customer unless something good comes out of this.....sure it won't!just wanted a nice car to retire with, should have stuck with the honda cr-v i had before this.
While driving --loud knocking noise in the engine. Was diagnosed by dealer as having worn rod/crankshaft;metal debris in oil pan -- if continuing to drive, then warned to cause engine failure and shutdown. This same problem received a recall in sonatas, but now is happening with the tucsons.
Hyundai tucson theta-ii engine failure. My tucson experienced sudden onset oil problems overnight. I parked the car on thursday night in my driveway, everything was fine. Friday morning when i turned it on the oil light was on. I confirmed i was not scheduled for an oil change for another 2000 miles but added a quart of oil to be safe and the light went off. Shortly after as i was driving to work the engine starts ticking and losing power and gets worse the farther i drive. I and was 700 miles past the extended 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty i purchased when i bought the car new. The dealer's mechanic said the rods failed which caused engine failure. This is the same problem as described in the hyunda and kia engine recall, however the tucson model is not included as part of the recall. The service department would not assist me in any way other than offering to sell me a used engine with 57,000 miles on it for $6000.
There is apparently an issue with my engine. It is making a knocking noise and my shop says it will have to be serviced soon and that there is an issue with these models.

I have a 2012 hyundai tucson awd with 86,000 miles on it. While driving it recently could hear engine rattle/knocking noise.

Catastrophic engine failure on a 2012 tucson with only 80k miles. The vehicle was regularly serviced. Heard a faint ticking coming from the engine while driving, and later that day, the engine blew. Apparently the theta 2 engine the vehicle uses is known for failure, but the hyundai dealership i took the vehicle to claimed only about 2% of these cars were affected, and i was just "unlucky". No warning lights, nothing. Was on the interstate during rush hour at the time of the incident, and was almost hit by multiple vehicles because of this.

Started my car in the morning and it took a little longer to crank before starting. Drove it half a mile and kind of noticed decrease in performance then starting up a hill and just forget about it. Very very slow. At the top of the hill the check engine light popped on and at that point i was already looking for a safe place to pull over. Drove an additional 1/10th of a mile to pull over (mostly cruised since it was not working right) and turned the car off immediately. Called to get it towed and tried to turn it on. It sounded like the engine was clunking so i just stopped trying. At this point the hyundai dealership is saying the timing chain is messed up and engine failure which is very very common with the tucson. Had right above 67000 on the car.
Driving on the on ramp of interstate and it cut off.all of the dash lights flashed once then it cut off.i was told by two different auto repair shops that the engine froze.call dealership and was told that the 2.4l engine was not manufactured anymore.it is sitting at an automotive shop waiting on an engine from a wrecked tucson costing me $6,500 - 7,000 to put in.the car has approx. 159,000 miles also had to replace transmission around 103,000 miles

I was driving down the highway and heard loud metal on metal noises. I immediately pulled off the road. I was told metal fragments were left in my engine during manufacturing. The metal lead to my engine blowing after 85,000 miles. The oil pan has metal shavings in it. The rods were thrown and it messed the bearings up. Dealership and corporate tell. E there is nothing they can do.
While driving on the expressway in birmingham, coming from stockbridge, ga we heard a knocking noise under the hood and pulled over. The noise increased, so we had to have car towed all the way back to georgia to a hyundai service center. It turns out the rob bearing failed, was the diagnosis. I purchased this car in oct 2018 the car broke down july 2019. Hyundai told me it would cost $10,000 to replace with a new engine or $6,000 used with 90k miles on used engine. I wrote a letter to hyundai, who they had someone contact me and told me just to wait there will be a recall soon. Two months later i receive a recall notice for an oil pan leak recall #19v063000. That was too late! the car is sitting in my garage because i feel that hyundai is responsible for fixing this car. I just read where hyundai/kia had a class action suit on them and they settled, but 2012 tucson was not listed only 2014, 2015, 2018 &2019 tucson. How do you start a class action law suit?

Brand new car- a few days after purchasing and driving the car, noticed car was not driving right. Several symptoms became noticeable. Car would jerk when accelerating and braking. Cars pick up was delayed and had a very uncomfortable vibration, while in idle and while driving, to the point of getting nauseous while driving in the car. Took car to hyundai service and told them of symptoms and my concerns of something not right with the car. The mechanics felt the problems i explained above and said something was wrong, now had to figure out what exactly. Several tests were done on the car but nothing showed up on electrical grid. Service had to call a higher tech out in california to see what to do next. California tech made them run several tests, all this took more then 2 weeks until they finally figured out that the engines throttle assy was defective and not functioning properly. They said that this also caused the sensor to malfunction. They replaced the throttle assy and claim the car is repaired. No longer trust car is safe to drive due to the electrical and engine defects that where found after the original inspections by the manufacture and the dealership failed to find these defects with the car and sold it.

I was having my car cleaned after a week at the beach and the little plastic circle that hold the floor mats in place came off of the floor mat.now when i drive the floor mat is constantly riding up onto the gas pedal.i called hyundai and they said there was nothing they could do and i'd have to purchase a whole new set of floor mats for over $100.the car was just over a year old at the time.... Now i have had to take the floor mat out because i am afraid the gas pedal will get stuck or the floor mat will prevent me from using the brake properly.
Today, my 2012 tucson needed a tire put back on, after using a spare.on asphalt, level ground, i used the jack that came with my vehicle aligned as directed, and slowly lifted the car, driver front.the spare tire came off easily, without problems.as i aligned the tire to put on, the jack failed, twisting outwards and collapsing, twisting my right wrist badly. I had a jack stand under the car, or i could have been seriously hurt.however, the jack stand had been aligned for the car when the jack was lifting it.because the jack failed it no longer aligned with the lift point, and pushed into the soft floor plate next to it.the failure of this jack is completely hyundai's fault.i also worry that other people could be hurt by these faulty jacks.i have seen other reports made about this same issue, now that i have done research.
The lights above our rear license plate keep falling out of the socket due to the clips breaking. I have been bringing the car into our local hyundai dealer and they have been very good at replacing the item. The car was purchased in august of 2011 and has been back to the dealer 5 times to replace the part.

I purchased this vehicle in august, 2018 as a used unit. Starting the next month i would be driving down the road and doing the same speed with no acceleration on my part and the motor would rev up by itself to 6000-8000 rpm and the vehicle does not gain any speed. This has happened intermittentlydescribed to my mechanic when i took in for an oil change and he couldn't figure out what could have happened. Thanksgiving day traveling about 95 miles to my brother's house and did the revving 3x's. Since thanksgiving the same problem has happened approximately 4 more times. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and maintaining the same speed. The speeds have been between 40 to 65 mph, so there isn't one set speed that it happens. Since it doesn't gain/lose speed it hasn't been a problem yet.
Yesterday around 9:00 pmi was driving on hwy 150 in san antonio tx with my kids and all the lights came on on the dash board or cluster and the engine die on me and wouldn't start i took it to a dealer after paying 220.00 for towing , now its at red mccombs hyundai ruben rodriguez service advisor said he will give me and answer
When driving (at several different speeds), the motor (rpm's) shoots up, but the car does not accelerate; it also happens when the car is yielding, and as we accelerate into traffic, the car does not accelerate as it should; again, the rpm's shoot up, but the car is not accelerating.it is similar to driving a standard vehicle and accelerating and pushing in the clutch at the same time.the transmission (rpm) problem is extremely concerning to us.we had a 2010 tucson, which we had exactly the same acceleration problems with.after many service visits to your dealership, the transmission was replaced. The original service visits went on for a period of several months; after the transmission was finally replaced, we were still experiencing the same problems.we expected that this was a one-time problem, and perhaps we just got a lemon.now that we are experiencing the exact same acceleration problem with the 2012 tucson, we do not feel safe driving this car.we know from the past experience that this transmission problem will not go away, it will get worse month by month over time, and the car will have to keep being returned to the dealership for diagnosis/repairs.the dealership test drove the car and did not find the problem, because it is an intermittent problem.we are forced to keep driving this vehicle, knowing that it is not safe, and that at some point an accident may occur.

The vehicle stopped running while i was driving. After towing to the mechanic, he determined that the engine had seized.
Driving along the interstate when engine had reduced engine power for a moment, then stalled around 70mph. Made it to an exit ramp luckily. Engine hesitated to restart, once it did start engine started knocking and had next to no power. Towed to hyundai dealer, hyundai dealer stated that hyundai has had major problems with these engines and hyundai should cover it fully. Dealership proceeded to pull oil pan and valve cover without our consent and with no communication for days. Confirmed the engine was bad, metal shavings in oil pan, rod bearings failed. Common problem. Waiting on hyundai for approval. Service advisor quit, we were informed 6 days later that hyundai is only willing to cover 65% of cost and we would have to pay 35% ($3,500.0) out of pocket. We refused to pay; they stated we would have to pay diagnosis, but they ended up waiving that. Technicians did not fully secure oil pan or valve cover. Oil under car where it was parked, have photos and videos to back this claim up. Have rental car and many tow bills in to the mix now. Why would the dealer tell us hyundai fully cover this but they don't? we need this issue fixed. Many other tucson owners deal with the same problem, with the same engine as the other cars, but theirs get replaced free or charge and expenses paid by hyundai.
My awd light comes on and off- when on i do not have awd and if is a serious safety matter. I have taken it to be checked and was told "oh at times you have it and some times you don't have it. Meaning awd--then another hyundai dealer informed me " oh no problems when checked on diagnostic". Well with being said as a nurse , i find this unacceptable -- only 70 some miles and now i'm told the warranty criteria has changed. Please help and advise. Your warranty was a big decision maker in my decision to purchase.driving in snow it went out , i drove because i was informed it was working .lucky i'm able to send you this concern as the end result could have been a negative impact.
Shift does not appear on dashboard, transmission shifts hard when this happens.when in reverse, the camera does not work.have to shut car off then transmission works.
This car has an automatic transmission and it pulls out of park very easily with no key in the ignition or foot on the brake.this led to my car rolling down a hill and hitting a tree with no one in the drivers seat.when i went to the dealer they tried this on another car in the lot and it did the same thing.i was told by hyundai corporate offices that this is a "campaign" item.i can not find this problem listed and i think it should be addressed before it leads to injury or death.
I was driving and the engine started making a click click noise. It sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around at the bottom of the engine and lost power. The vehicle broke down and i had to find a to and rental car to get home.hyundai service said i need a new engine, because the entire engine needed replaced. I know there have been several recalls on the hyundai engines and i called the hyundai customer service and flat out told me that my ngine was outside of the warranty and therefore they could not help. I am not ready to have to get a new vehicle, specially in this covid situation. I had a similar issue with a 2003 tuscon santa fe...this engine failure issue is a scam.
"takata recall"as my 2012 hyundai tucson reached 100,000 miles my transmission went out and left me stranded.i had a rebuilt transmission put in, that was purchased from the dealership.now i am at 132,000 miles and my engine is knocking.the knocking gets loud during acceleration, and has quickly gone from a ticking sound on the front passenger side of the vehicle to a loud knock.my mechanic is saying that there is no coming back from this, the engine will need to be replaced.oil changes are done on time, there is oil in the car now but a rod is knocking loudly.this car will have been purchased twice once i have put all the repairs into it that really shouldn't need to be put into a car at this stage of it's life.
This is a complaint that mimics the current recall 16v628000 from hyundai on 8/30/2016, for their 2016 tucson transmission problems of the engine/transmission where it will disengage.when driving and pressing on accelerator the engine revs, but the transmission seems to be in neutral (even though in drive).it has happened to me on my 2012 after i made a gradual right hand turn around a ramp at about 25 mph .i had come out of the turn and tried to accelerate when nothing happened.the engine rev'd to about 4k, i immediately let off gas thinking i had bumped the gear shift into neutral or it had somehow popped out of gear.nope.light on dash still said "d" and the gear shifter was in the proper position.i let it coast for awhile and then tried accelerating again.this time it worked fine. I have only had the vehicle for about 2 weeks and did not experience any issues before this.i was a auto/diesel mechanic for over 14 years and was very cognizant of what was happening, not panic stricken.if i get a case number or the like i will continue to follow up with you on the issue.no engine lights came on, engine did not stall, no codes generated on obdii scanner.(2 cycles of on/off before checking for codes when i got home)tried checking the transmission fluid level, but it is a sealed unit with no dip stick.

I was driving and the engine started making a noise. All of a sudden it sounded terrible like there were rocks rattling around in the engine and it shut down. I was initially in town when it started and just got on the hwy when she broke down. Hubby, two puppies, and i were stranded in the side of the hwy in 100 degree heat for 2 hrs. Had to rent a moving truck and trailer to make the trek back home to ga. Hyundai service said it threw a rod and shredded in the engine and the entire engine needed replaced.minimum of $5500 for the engine itself.i switched to synthetic oil on the first change when i got her new and was regular with her maintenance. I was not ready to have to get a new vehicle just yet.
I have received warnings from the manufacturer that the problem with the transmission could cause the engine to seize while driving at high speeds.they indicated they may have a solution in mid may 2019 and as of yet known has been found. Your website validated that no solution has been found and encouragedwe report this to you.at this point the car can be difficult to start/engage the motor unless the shift lever is manipulatedthere has been difficulty restarting the car after a four to five hour drive.

Also refused to shift into park.vehicle was flat-bedded to dealer. Mechanics determined the right trans-axle had separated from the wheel with spindle damage. Initially it was thought that the transmission was damaged, but that may not be the case.
On saturday may 4, 2019, my son was on guard duty at vmi and he lent his car to his close friend and roommate to attend a family event in arlington, va.after about 100 miles on the road while [xxx] was driving it on interstate 81 going north,the car started to slow suddenly, and the engine and gas light came on the dashboard, with no other earlier warning.he had to scan the area quickly to make sure other drivers were paying attention as he was quickly dropping below the minimum speed limit.this same thing was happening to multiple car owners of this make/model year. The car downright stop running in the middle of the interstate,with no warning.this put my son's long-time friend and room mate at risk! every service and tow station within 60 miles of harrisonburg were busy or closed. This sudden stall issue was known on 2/5/2019 and with your systems knowing the current owner,address, and my vehicle #, there is no excuse for not alerting me!i have incurred additional towing fees because i had my son's friend towed to the closest residential area off the highwaywhere there was a local service station.come to find out after they did a once over the car, that there were metal shavings in the oil and the tech had to hand-crank the engine to get it started.in other words, it met all the criteria for this issue known by hyundai. I have had my vehicle regularly serviced at the hyundai dealer service twice in december 2018, november 2018, and many other times before this.nothing was ever mentioned to me about this deficiency.i have called and sent email and letters asking hyundai to repair this known manufacturer defect.every place near the tow address was closed.i drove above the speedlimit as it was hot and humid and they were not in airconditioning. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Vehicle intermittently does not accelerate from a stop, often looses power. This can be dangerous if pulling out into traffic. Transmission issues have been addressed with other years, but this issue has not been addressed with earlier model years.while turning into traffic, vehicle did not accelerate as expected almost cause it an accident. Took vehicle to hyundai for service, and the problem could not be duplicated at the time, instead was told to 'change transmission fluid, that may help' there have been multiple other tucson's with the same issue. Vehicle continues to have same issues.
Brand new car- a few days after purchasing and driving the car, noticed car was not driving right. Several symptoms became noticeable. Car would jerk when accelerating and braking. Cars pick up was delayed and had a very uncomfortable vibration, while in idle and while driving, to the point of getting nauseous while driving in the car. Took car to hyundai service and told them of symptoms and my concerns of something not right with the car. The mechanics felt the problems i explained above and said something was wrong, now had to figure out what exactly. Several tests were done on the car but nothing showed up on electrical grid. Service had to call a higher tech out in california to see what to do next. California tech made them run several tests, all this took more then 2 weeks until they finally figured out that the engines throttle assy was defective and not functioning properly. They said that this also caused the sensor to malfunction. They replaced the throttle assy and claim the car is repaired. No longer trust car is safe to drive due to the electrical and engine defects that where found after the original inspections by the manufacture and the dealership failed to find these defects with the car and sold it.

I should start by stating that this has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle since i got it last year. At random times, while driving, my vehicle will not allow me to go above 2500k rpms, even with the gas pedal fully depressed. This may happen while i am on a slow road or, as today, when i am on the highway. It is a safety concern because i will need to merge onto the highway or speed up for some other reason and suddenly i have no power. I will be going 30mph and entering a 70mph roadway. The only way to stop this is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and then turn it back on. I have taken it to my hyundai dealer multiple times and they have been unable to fix it or address it in any way whatsoever. It is a huge safety issue that they will not address.
Im having problems with vibrations when at a stop or idling,also his vehicleis hard to keep aligned. I've two sets of tires in the past two years. Ive had two four wheel alignments. What's the fix?
When stepping on the brakes they make a lot of noise and when going down a incline/hill i have to push the brakes all the way to the floor for the vehicle to stop.i took it to a dealer ship close to my home and went on a test drive with them and they said that it was normal.i was not happy with the outcome so itook it back to the dealer ship where i purchased the vehicle (1 hr from where i live), they wenton a test drive heard the noise,checked the brakes, and said that the rotors needed to be replaced.when i got the car back after the rotors were replaced, it's still making the noise, and i still have the braking problem. Took it back and now they're saying that it's a normal braking sound.i took it to a different dealer ship, they went on a test drive with the person who bought the car in for me and heard the noise.he looked at it and there were screws missing from the rotors also he said the rotors needed to be cut.i called the next day, spoke with the service advisor who was handling the paper work, informed him that the noise was still there, he told me thatthey could not cut the rotors, because they were place by another dealership.i told him the problem is still not fixed, he told me to bring it back on saturday, i did.one of the technician test drove it i was not there, and said he heard nothing.i amstill having the same braking problem.they refused to take a look at the brakes or do any work to it.

I received the recall of my 2012 hyundai tuscon. As a precaution i took it to the dealership to address the recall 181 and an electrical issue i had with the power windows. I visited the dealer two weeks apart andsat at the dealership for more than 5 hours with the second visit being for 8 hours. I was told something was leaking in steering and that had tl be fixed. I left with my car and approximately 8 days later there was a clicking and clanking aound coming from the engine, ive never heard the sound, yet on my paperwork it stated i complained about the sound, which i never did. My car started to stall and lose speed. I was over 100 miles from home and my car was failing in the mountains at that. I called the service department multiple times and never received a call back. Thank god for my insurance towing the car to the closest dealership. A day and half later i was told the engine was gone! i visited the dealership on 07/31/20 & 08/14/20... They documented a rattling rattling sound in the front in... Never addressed me about this 'sound' , did a so call inspection of the car and next thing i am told is i cant drive it because the engine could blow. No return from hyundai service manager, no claim filed and i am still out of state without an answer. Called customer service sat online 30 mins waiting for a rep before their line disconnected and them another hour. Filed a case and now still stuck waiting for these people to do their job with out putting my life at risk.
The electronic power steering feels stuck,vague,hard,lacks of maneuverability and feedback while driving the vehicle, feeling the sensation that you will lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle goes to either ways (right or left side) giving the impression that you are going to crash.also is very difficult to maintain the vehicle align on the road lane and it has to be corrected constantly requiring more physical effort than normal driving.
Hello, i purchased a 2012 hyundai tuscon, 2wd, and had a terrible time in this vehicle during snowy/wet weather.i live in silver spring, md, and was driving the vehicle in snow on february 21, 2015.the vehicle skidded, the tires spun, and the car got stuck several times.also, the esc (electronic stability control)had to be manually disabled in order to keep from being rear ended, as this functions more like a brake--than a feature to designed to maintain control of the car. I'm originally from chicago, il, and am quite used to driving vehicles in snowy conditions. This was a most unusual and scary experience with the tuscon.i did an internet search and came across several complaints, labeling the stock tires on the tuscon as 'hazardous' in snowy/wet conditions.apparently, other drivers have noticed these tires lose all traction during snowy/wet weather. I'm not sure if other factors beside the tires impacted the car's scary performance during wet/snowy conditions. I did contact hyundai, and they asked me to have the car inspected, which i did. After that i received a letter from the company telling me they had found no problem and that was the end of the discussion.if the problem is limited to the tires, then consumers need to be made aware at the time of purchasing a hyundai tuscon that the tires stocked by hyundai are potentially treacherous in wet/snowy conditions.
I was having my car cleaned after a week at the beach and the little plastic circle that hold the floor mats in place came off of the floor mat.now when i drive the floor mat is constantly riding up onto the gas pedal.i called hyundai and they said there was nothing they could do and i'd have to purchase a whole new set of floor mats for over $100.the car was just over a year old at the time.... Now i have had to take the floor mat out because i am afraid the gas pedal will get stuck or the floor mat will prevent me from using the brake properly.
The vehicle caught on fire in the driveway - it had not been driven or even started in over 28 hours.the fire started under the hood.the fire department was called and it was deemed a total loss.the insurance company did not conduct an investigation due to the age of the vehicle.the dealership did full brake work 10 days prior to the fire occurring.
A panel covering the panoramic sunroof mechanism detached on the i90 while travelling at 70mph. The panel was not found.the detachment was audible heard as the panel swung around and struck the car.fortunately there was no=one traveling behind me at the time.
The left rear door will not open from outside handle or inside handle. Unlocking from the key fob or drivers door control or the lock on the rear door panel does not work. We can not in any way open the door. It worked fine for quite a while then began malfunctioning occasionally and then finally would not open at all. Nothing seems to make a difference weather running, engine off, other doors unlocked, open or closed. It will never unlock or open. I have grandchildren and can't take them both with me. It is unsafe to have a child on that side of the car, or in the back seat at all for that matter. If the car is involved in a crash on the passenger side and the rear passenger door is in-accessible it would be very difficult to get the children, or adults, out of the car.
I bought a new car. 3 1/2 months later , i was rear-ended.i took car to dealership to get tailgate and pan and bumper repaired. When we picked up vehicle, strong toxic fumes from repair were so strong that we could not drive car.instant headache, upper respiratory aggravation, sore throat, burning eyes.car has been to repair shop numerous times and months later still causes illness in family. At one time that i drove car i almost lost consciousness.i have informedhyundai dealership several times.i informed hyundai corporation.problem persists consistently for 8-9 months and after numerous trips to dealership.the dog foams and vomits before car starts moving.
We were going through a green traffic light, we were about the 6th car through the light whenvehicle coming out of nowhere ran the red light from the cross street at about 55mph, did not try to stop, we slowed to almost a stop and swerved to avoid the person.she did not try to stop and t-boned us in the drivers wheel and door, but the airbags did not activate, even with this high speed collision. This is the second accident of this kind where they did not activate. The first was in january and we were rear ended at a high speed while stopped at a traffic light.

I received the recall of my 2012 hyundai tuscon. As a precaution i took it to the dealership to address the recall 181 and an electrical issue i had with the power windows. I visited the dealer two weeks apart andsat at the dealership for more than 5 hours with the second visit being for 8 hours. I was told something was leaking in steering and that had tl be fixed. I left with my car and approximately 8 days later there was a clicking and clanking aound coming from the engine, ive never heard the sound, yet on my paperwork it stated i complained about the sound, which i never did. My car started to stall and lose speed. I was over 100 miles from home and my car was failing in the mountains at that. I called the service department multiple times and never received a call back. Thank god for my insurance towing the car to the closest dealership. A day and half later i was told the engine was gone! i visited the dealership on 07/31/20 & 08/14/20... They documented a rattling rattling sound in the front in... Never addressed me about this 'sound' , did a so call inspection of the car and next thing i am told is i cant drive it because the engine could blow. No return from hyundai service manager, no claim filed and i am still out of state without an answer. Called customer service sat online 30 mins waiting for a rep before their line disconnected and them another hour. Filed a case and now still stuck waiting for these people to do their job with out putting my life at risk.
I own a hyundai tucson 2012.on december 31, 2012, we took the vehicle to the dealership for regular maintenance and reported that we have experienced several instances of sudden unintended acceleration (sua) (i.e., the rpm raced up to 4,000 rpms when at idle and accelerator was not pressed).the dealership could not duplicate/verify concern.on november 10, 2013, again we expressed the dealership the same concern; however, we received the same response as on december 31, 2012.throughout this year we have experienced sua several times, the most recent one last night, when while in motionthe car unexpectedly accelerated its rpm.i believe this is a seriously safety concern which hyundai should address immediately by investigating the problem and issuing a safety recall to its customers.please advice the action we should take to have this problem solved and avoid any injuries.
I should start by stating that this has been an ongoing issue with this vehicle since i got it last year. At random times, while driving, my vehicle will not allow me to go above 2500k rpms, even with the gas pedal fully depressed. This may happen while i am on a slow road or, as today, when i am on the highway. It is a safety concern because i will need to merge onto the highway or speed up for some other reason and suddenly i have no power. I will be going 30mph and entering a 70mph roadway. The only way to stop this is to pull over, turn the vehicle off, and then turn it back on. I have taken it to my hyundai dealer multiple times and they have been unable to fix it or address it in any way whatsoever. It is a huge safety issue that they will not address.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai tucson. The contact stated that there was a recurring failure in which the vehicle would hesitate for 5-6 seconds when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but the cause for the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 12,000.
Vehicle intermittently does not accelerate from a stop, often looses power. This can be dangerous if pulling out into traffic. Transmission issues have been addressed with other years, but this issue has not been addressed with earlier model years.while turning into traffic, vehicle did not accelerate as expected almost cause it an accident. Took vehicle to hyundai for service, and the problem could not be duplicated at the time, instead was told to 'change transmission fluid, that may help' there have been multiple other tucson's with the same issue. Vehicle continues to have same issues.
I pushed on the gas to accelerate and nothing happened except the rpms spiked to around 5-6k and the engine sounded as if i were in neutral and revving it up aggressively. This has subsequently happened dozens of times when traveling between 30 and 65 mph. It is scary, especially when i need to accelerate, say in a passing situation or when traveling to get out of the way. I've taken the vehicle to hyundai (sheppard in eugene/springfield, or) twice for this issue. Both times, they kept it overnight and returned it to me without fixing anything saying: 1) i was the only one in the world who reported this problem, 2) they couldn't replicate the problem, and 3) there is nothing wrong with my vehicle.
The contact owns a 2012 hyundai tucson. While attempting to accelerate from a traffic light, the vehicle lurched forward and independently accelerated. The contact stated that the failure recurred once. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 103,000.*as
On saturday may 4, 2019, my son was on guard duty at vmi and he lent his car to his close friend and roommate to attend a family event in arlington, va.after about 100 miles on the road while [xxx] was driving it on interstate 81 going north,the car started to slow suddenly, and the engine and gas light came on the dashboard, with no other earlier warning.he had to scan the area quickly to make sure other drivers were paying attention as he was quickly dropping below the minimum speed limit.this same thing was happening to multiple car owners of this make/model year. The car downright stop running in the middle of the interstate,with no warning.this put my son's long-time friend and room mate at risk! every service and tow station within 60 miles of harrisonburg were busy or closed. This sudden stall issue was known on 2/5/2019 and with your systems knowing the current owner,address, and my vehicle #, there is no excuse for not alerting me!i have incurred additional towing fees because i had my son's friend towed to the closest residential area off the highwaywhere there was a local service station.come to find out after they did a once over the car, that there were metal shavings in the oil and the tech had to hand-crank the engine to get it started.in other words, it met all the criteria for this issue known by hyundai. I have had my vehicle regularly serviced at the hyundai dealer service twice in december 2018, november 2018, and many other times before this.nothing was ever mentioned to me about this deficiency.i have called and sent email and letters asking hyundai to repair this known manufacturer defect.every place near the tow address was closed.i drove above the speedlimit as it was hot and humid and they were not in airconditioning.

* vehicle was taken to sheehy hyundai in december 2017 for regular maintenance, which included a tire rotation.* vehicle was taken to sheehy hyundai in february 2018 for regular maintenance with an additional complaint for noises when making turns, particularly to the left.* the sheehy hyundai service department stated a tire was rubbing a control arm. My daughter declined the repair because the service center did not state it was an urgent issue.* vehicle was taken to sheehy hyundai again in march 2018 and was given an alignment to deal with the vibration and noise. According to invoice, the issue was resolved.* my daughter complained again of the noise and vibration. She was scheduled to come in next week to have the dealership look at the issue.* while driving to work this morning (25 may 2018), near exit 13 on interstate 495 she heard a pop and vehicle swerved all over the lanes. She ended up right near a guard rail. The tire came completely off and two insert bolts on the drum were sheared. * i called sheehy hyundai and explained the circumstances. The service manager relayed that they were not liable since they did an alignment on the last service and did not touch the tires.* i explained to him that they were the last ones to work on the vehicle and no one has done anything with the tires. I also reminded him that my daughter had been there multiple times since december.* the service manager informed me that an alignment would not have taken care of any vibration anyway. * they refused to accept that the service department failed to completely tighten lugs and missed this issue that could have led to multiple injuries and fatalities. I informed him that if he suggests that the lugs and wheel just came off, then hyundai corporate needs to be notified of this vehicle defect.
Exiting freeway, decreasing speed, when it felt as though a tire had gone flat. Shimmy and sudden lose of power followed. Steering became difficult. Car had no power, increasing gas only revved engine, but would not move vehicle at all. Was able to roll to the end of the freeway off-ramp and pull near shoulder. Engine continued to run, but sounded like a cement mixer full of large rocks. Once transmission was placed in neutral, it would not shift into any other gear. Also refused to shift into park.vehicle was flat-bedded to dealer. Mechanics determined the right trans-axle had separated from the wheel with spindle damage. Initially it was thought that the transmission was damaged, but that may not be the case.
Hello, i purchased a 2012 hyundai tuscon, 2wd, and had a terrible time in this vehicle during snowy/wet weather.i live in silver spring, md, and was driving the vehicle in snow on february 21, 2015.the vehicle skidded, the tires spun, and the car got stuck several times.also, the esc (electronic stability control)had to be manually disabled in order to keep from being rear ended, as this functions more like a brake--than a feature to designed to maintain control of the car. I'm originally from chicago, il, and am quite used to driving vehicles in snowy conditions. This was a most unusual and scary experience with the tuscon.i did an internet search and came across several complaints, labeling the stock tires on the tuscon as 'hazardous' in snowy/wet conditions.apparently, other drivers have noticed these tires lose all traction during snowy/wet weather. I'm not sure if other factors beside the tires impacted the car's scary performance during wet/snowy conditions. I did contact hyundai, and they asked me to have the car inspected, which i did. After that i received a letter from the company telling me they had found no problem and that was the end of the discussion.if the problem is limited to the tires, then consumers need to be made aware at the time of purchasing a hyundai tuscon that the tires stocked by hyundai are potentially treacherous in wet/snowy conditions.
The electronic power steering feels stuck,vague,hard,lacks of maneuverability and feedback while driving the vehicle, feeling the sensation that you will lost control of the vehicle.the vehicle goes to either ways (right or left side) giving the impression that you are going to crash.also is very difficult to maintain the vehicle align on the road lane and it has to be corrected constantly requiring more physical effort than normal driving.
