NHTSA Complaint #11691332 — 2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON

Had an oil change on September 29th. The mechanic brought to my attention metal shavings in the oil and advised that I should get rid of the car because it won’t last much longer. It drove fine for a day until the next afternoon I was driving on the highway with my children and the engine started knocking loudly. The car stopped accelerating past 45 mph. I was close to my house fortunately but barely made it as it sounded like the engine would blow. It is now sitting in my driveway still knocking when I start it and don’t feel safe driving it anywhere. There were 0 warning lights. I was not aware of the engine issues these cars had until I did some research and looks like it’s very common. Seeing some people had luck getting replacement engines in the past and many others not. This needs to be addressed and Hyundai needs to be held responsible for the awful oil consumption issue resulting in failing engines. We should not have to provide proof of maintenance when clearly this is an issue regardless.
