NHTSA Complaint #11677667 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

I own a 2017 Hyundai Tucson with the 1.6L turbocharged engine. My vehicle is experiencing serious and potentially dangerous engine issues, including knocking, loss of power while driving, sudden engine stalling, and low oil pressure. These problems have worsened over time and now occur regularly during normal operation. The vehicle has stalled in traffic on multiple occasions, creating a significant safety hazard for myself and other drivers. I am aware of an existing recall (21V-727) for 2017 Hyundai Tucson models with the 2.0L engine related to premature engine bearing wear, and the symptoms I’m experiencing appear to be identical — yet my 1.6L turbo model is not included. I strongly believe this issue may also affect the 1.6T engine variant and poses a serious safety risk. I am requesting that NHTSA investigate whether the 1.6L turbocharged engine used in this model year should also be subject to recall due to the same type of internal engine failure. I am currently pursuing diagnostics and have contacted Hyundai to request assistance, but the cost of repair and potential danger while driving remain urgent concerns. Please take this report into account as part of your investigation.
