Consumer Description
I helped my daughter buy a used 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with 42K miles since she was going to med school and needed reliable transportation. At 62K miles the engine failed. The engine stalled in the middle of the highway and she was in the middle of the highway for some time before she could restart the engine. She was nearly rear ended. The dealer she brought the car back to said there was no oil in the engine despite the fact that she had the oil changed two months before this incident. There have been many problems with the Hyundai "Theta II" and 2 liter GDI engines that were supposedly fixed and there was a class action lawsuit on Hyundai Tuscons up to 2016 which was well publicized. This car has a 2 liter engine (which is all I know). It does not appear that Hyundai has fixed their engine problems since I believe this is the same problem as before. I am filing this complaint in my daughetrs behalf since she has to take her medical boards in one month. It is bad enough that her car has been tied up for 3 months and she has to transport her husband across town twice a day.
