Consumer Description

We purchased a new Hyundai Tucson 1.6 Turbo in June 2017. In June 2021 the Check engine light came on and the car stopped. There weren't any signs of issues but abruptly stopped. We had the car towed to Shottenkirk Hyundai. We were told the car needed a new motor. Hyundai corporate said they would split the cost of a goodwill motor with us, but we would have to wait until November for it to come in. Our cost was $4500. We agreed. Then we were called and told sorry you need a Catalytic Converter also additional $600. We agreed, as I was pregnant and just wanted my car back. In December, we were told sorry but your wiring harness is bad and that's what made the motor fail. So that will be an additional $4500. At which point we were in the hospital having our newborn. We told them not to do anything else as we weren't going to spend $10K on this vehicle. We are at our wits end with this car and dealing with the dealership and the corporate office and don't know what else to do. There is currently a recall to replace motors in 2017 Hyundai Tucson's but since ours is a 1.6 it isn't within the recall. How can it not be included in the recall when it is having the same issues as the 2017 Tucson 2.0
