Consumer Description
bought 2017 Tucson sport new. Within a few months i notice the acceleration was diminished and the vehicle paused when pressing down on gas pedal. Dealer assured me it was related to the dual clutch. Fast forward to April 2019 and the issue never resolved itself and ultimately resulted in a thrown rod. Engine was replaced. Dec 2020 car shakes violently on highway brought back to the shop dealer claims nothing is wrong. June 4th have oil changed per schedule by jun9 i am smelling smoke upon exiting car. Check oil and it is on low. drop off at dealer they claim nothing is wrong. Force me to pay for another oil change and perform a 500 mile oil consumption test which will involve me driving this car on the highway with an engine that can seize at any moment potentially killing me or others on the road. Leave dealership and the car continues to spew smoke from tail pipe. No check engine lights appear during either event. This is incredibly dangerous and needs to be added to a lawsuit. Hyundai knows this is an issue but they do nothing and people will die.
