Consumer Description
The drain plug was loose, even thought the mechanics ensured it was tightened. This is another case out of many of 2019 Hyundai Tucson owners who have found the drain plug to be faulty causing loosening and then falling out causing all oil to drain quickly and without warning. My engine unfortunately died mid drive while at the base of a large bridge, causing safety risks to myself and my passenger, as well as other drivers on the road. The engine lost so much oil at once giving no chance to even be warned about malfunction, as we were driving and it just fell out. My engine seized completely. This is not the first time Hyundai parts have done this, according to other owners, mechanics and other forums. Hyundai still has no recall for this faulty parts and offers no assistance to remedy a potentially life threatening situation.
