2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

I HAVE A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON WITH THETA ENGINE. MOTOR HAS FROZEN AND ALTHOUGH MANY OTHER THETA ENGINES SIMILAR IN VIN # HAVE BEEN REPAIRED UNDER A CLASS ACTION SUIT/ OR RECALL, HYUNDAI IS REFUSING TO REPLACE MINE. OIL CHANGE RECEIPTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. DRIVING ON A HWY AND MOTOR FROZE

. DEALER STATES ENGINE NEEDS REPLACEMENT BUT IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO DEALER DENIES COVERAGE. DEALER SAID BEARING ON BIG END OF PISTON RODS AND/OR MAIN BEARING DAMAGED, I HAVE ALL RECORDS OF OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-4K FROM REPUTABLE MAINTENANCE BUSINESS. I SEE OTHER COMPLAINTS OF SIMILAR ISSUE WITH MOTORS. ENGINE STARTS TAPPING UNDER LOAD AND ENGINE STOPS AT HIGHWAY SPEED OR WHEN AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. WHEN THE MOTOR COOLS IT WILL REPEAT PROBLEM. VEHICLE TO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE EXCEPT ON BACK ROADS WITH ENOUGH ROOM ON SHOLDER TO PULL OVER UNEXPECTEDLY.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-75 IN BROWARD COUNTY AND I DECIDED TO PASS A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN I ACCELERATED, THE CAR MADE A VERY STRANGE SOUND AND STARTED TO LOOSE POWER... IT STARTED TO SLOWING DOWN BY IT SELF, SO I DECIDED TO GET OUT FROM I-75, LUCKILY WE WERE CLOSE TO ONE REST AREA WHERE WE COULD PARK AND CALL SOMEONE FOR HELP. BEFORE CALLING ANYONE, WE TRY EVERYTHING ON THE CAR. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW CHECKED THE BATTERY, WHICH WAS GOOD, THE ELECTRICAL WAS WORKING FINE FOR FEW MORE MINUTES AND STARTED TO SHUT DOWN SLOWLY. EVERYBODY SAID THAT WAS VERY STRANGE...THEY SAID MY CAR WAS NOT SUPPOSE TO BE IN THAT SITUATION. IT IS WITH 70,000 MILES, IN AN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND THE MAINTENANCE IS UP TO DATE. I CALLED THE TOWING TRUCK FOR PICK UP AND PARKED IT ON MY COUSIN DRIVEWAY WHERE IS TILL...

BOUGHT 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON ON 11/2012. WITHIN 2 YRS OF BUYING THE CAR I STARTED TO HEAR A KNOCKING SOUND FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR, LOSS OF POWER AND IT FELT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHUT DOWN.I WOULD STOP AND THEN PUSH THE GAS TO GO AND IT WAS FINE. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTANTLY EVER SINCE I HAVE CONTINUED OVER THE YRS TELLING THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF THE ISSUE BUT THEY COULD NEVER REPLICATE THE PROBLEM.THEY TRIED A FEW THINGS LIKE A COMPUTER UPDATE/REBOOT.THE ISSUE WAS A LITTLE LESS FREQUENT BUT IT STILL CONTINUED. OVER THE YEARS SEVERAL FAMILY MEMBERS WITNESSED THIS AND WERE VERY CONCERNED! RECENTLY 08/7/2020 WE WERE DRIVING INTERSTATE 70 IN MD, CONSIDERABLE TRAFFIC, AND NUMEROUS TRACTOR TRAILORS ALL TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS! ALL OF A SUDDEN THERE WAS A CONSISTANT KNOCKING SOUND EVEN MORE INTENSE THAN THE ONES I HAD HEARD OVER THE...

JUNE 25, 2020 I TOOK MY CAR TO JOHN AMATO TO HAVE A REPAIR DONE BECAUSE OF THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON THEY PLACED IT O N THE MACHINE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND STATED THAT IT WAS THE IN TAKE MANIFOLD FOR 421CRH 1 THEY REPLACE THE PART METAPHOR INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER PERFORM THEY REPLACE THE PART THEY SAID THE CAR WAS OK AUGUST EIGHTH 2020 MY CAR STOPPED RUNNING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND MADE A LOT OF NOISE . THERE WAS NO WARNING NO LIGHTS CAME ON THE CAR JUST STOPPED I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BY A TOW TRUCK AND NOW THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY DONE NO ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON OR ANYTHING I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON WERE NOT IN THE RECALL FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE. COMPLAINTS ON ENGINE SEIZING UP IS THE SAME AS 2014 AND 2015 SAME ENGINE I WOULDN'T COMPLAIN BUT JUST HAPPEN TO ME 7/11/2020 DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY ENGINE SEIZED UP AND LOOKS LIKE AM STUCK WITH IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO SIT HERE AND THINK ABOUT I DON'T HAVE A VEHICLE AND WHAT HAPPENED WAS NO FAULT OF MINE ITS JUST CRAZY HOW NO ONE WILL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX IT.

TRAVELING DOWN HIGHWAY VEHICLE MADE LOUD NOISE PULLED OVER AND TURNED VEHICLE OFF WAITED 10 TO 20 MINUTES TRIED TO START VEHICLE AND IT MADE LOUD NOISE AGAIN AND SHUT DOWN WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING.

ADDING TO FIRST COMPLAINT VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD ENGINE SEIZED WAITING ON RESPONSE FOR HYUNDAI CORPORATION

VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE ENGINE LOST POWER. RPMS WENT TO 0. COULD NOT ACCELERATE ANYMORE AND HAD TO COAST OFF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OFF TRAFFIC. VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SAYS THE VEHICLES ENGINE HAS LOCKED UP AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 77946 MILES. HAS HAD NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE ONLY HAD IT A WEEK AND HALF. CAR HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO DEALERSHIP. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS OR DEADLY ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT, AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A #3 PISTON CONNECTING ROD CYLINDER BOLT DETACHED WHICH CAUSED THE PISTON TO LOOSEN. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ENGINE OIL LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000.

ON JUNE 13, 2017, THE ENGINE IN THE TUCSON COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT RUSH HOUR. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. THE REPAIR SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD BLOWN A HOLE IN IT DUE TO NO FAULT OF THE OWNER AND WOULD NEED A COMPLETE REBUILD. IN MY RESEARCH I CONTACTED BOTH VANDERGRIFF HYUNDAI AND HYUNDAI MOTORS AMERICA SINCE THE EVENT THAT CAUSED MY VEHICLE ENGINE TO BLOW WAS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. DURING MY RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE ENGINE IN MY VEHICLE WAS THE SAME ENGINE PUT INTO SEVERAL MODELS OF HYUNDAI VEHICLES. THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE MODEL WAS ALSO INVOLVED IN A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT REGARDING THE 2011-2013 HYUNDAI MODELS. IN APRIL 2019 A RECALL OF THE OIL PAN AND SEAL WAS ISSUED. THE VEHICLE RECALL REPLACEMENT WAS DONE...

I FINANCED THIS VEHICLE ON 12/22/19, I STARTED TO NOTICE A LOUD TICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE DATE. BROUGHT IT IN TO DEALERSHIP, WAS TOLD IT WAS A VACUUM LOOSE, THEY TIGHTENED IT AND SAID IT SHOULD BE GOOD. STILL HEARD THE TICKING JUST NOT AS LOUD. I STILL HAVE CONTINUED TO HEAR THE TICKING, BROUGHT IT IN TODAY AND WAS TOLD BY ONE PERSON WHO DIDNT ACTUALLY INSPECT THE VEHICLE THAT IT WAS A PURGE VALVE AND ITS NORMAL FOR THIS CAR AND AGE.. WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON OCALA FL, (AND WITH A STRAIGHT NO EMOTION FACE) "THERE'S NO METAL TOUCHING" ASKED TO BE PROVIDED PROOF THAT NOTHING CAME UP IN HIS COMPUTER, AND SAID THEY DIDNT HAVE THE CORRECT DIAGNOSING EQUIPMENT FOR THIS SPECIFIC CAR. SHOWED THE SALES MANAGER A VIDEO SO SHE COULD HEAR THE NOISE...

AFTER RETURNING TO THE DEALER FOR A RECALL NOTICE, 4 DAYS LATER TURNING INTO A FUELING STATION ENGINE STALLED AND SIEZED. VEHICLE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE PRIOR TO RECALL PERFORMANCE BEING COMPLETED. OH AND RECALL NOTICE STATED THE EXACT ISSUE IT WAS TO PREVENT ENGINE FROM STALLING AND SEIZING. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED.

TL* THE CONTACT'S SON-IN-LAW OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE THE SON-IN-LAW WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER AND OIL WAS LEAKING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE IF ANY WARNING INDICATORS WERE ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HYUNDAI OF GREELEY (4533 W 29TH ST, GREELEY, CO 80634, 970-330-3801) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE ENGINE LEAK WAS REPAIRED. DAYS LATER, THE SAME FAILURES RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BY THE MECHANIC AND THE MECHANIC WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO ACTIVE RECALLS. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURES WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V063000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

THE CAR STALLED. WHEN I GOT IT RUNNING THE ENGINE IS MAKING A LOUD KNOCKING.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, NO INDICATION, NO SOUND/NOISE, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. TOWED CAR TO THE HYUNDAI DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED, THAT THEY WERE HAVING ISSUES WITH THESE ENGINES. ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. WAITING FOR HYUNDAI'S DECISION TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE REPLACEMENT.

ON AUGUST 3, 2019, I WAS DRIVING AND MY ENGINE STARTED MAKING A WEIRD NOISE AND WAS FLUTTERING, NOT ACCELERATING LIKE NORMAL. I TURNED ONTO A SIDE STREET AND WAS PULLING OVER, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. HAD THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT GIVE ME ONE REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED SINCE I REGULARLY GOT THE CAR SERVICED. APPROXIMATELY, TWO HOURS PRIOR TO THE ENGINE SEIZING I HAD MY EMISSIONS AND INSPECTION PERFORMED AND THEY DID NOT PICK UP ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 94,000 MILES. NOW I AM STUCK WITH A BROKEN CAR THAT THE REPAIR COSTS AS MUCH AS THE VEHICLE BLUE BOOKS FOR, WHILE STILL OWING AROUND $15,000. EVERYTHING THAT I HAD PURCHASED TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM THIS SITUATION HAS NOT PROTECTED ME AT ALL...

VEHICLE STARTED UP WITH VERY NOTICEABLE KNOCKING NOISE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. IT WAS STILL TECHNICALLY DRIVEABLE, BUT HAD VERY SLOW ACCELERATION. STOPPED BY AUTOZONE TO HAVE THEM CHECK THE ENGINE CODE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TWO CODES THAT CAME UP WERE RELATED TO NEEDING AN OIL CHANGE. THE FOLLOWING DAY, I STOPPED BY JIFFY LUBE TO HAVE THEM CHANGE THE OIL. THE TECH SHOWED ME A SAMPLE OF THE OIL THAT CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE; IT LOOKED LIKE BLACK, SLUDGY COFFEE. I KEEP UP WITH OIL CHANGES, MAKING SURE TO GO TO JIFFY SO THAT MY RECORDS ARE ACCESSIBLE. I ALWAYS HAVE THEM USE SYNTHETIC WHEN I VISIT. THE TECH TOLD ME THAT THE OIL HAD BEEN OVERFILLED THE LAST TIME IT WAS CHANGED. HE ALSO STATED THAT HE HAS NOTICED IN HYUNDAI VEHICLES THAT THE OIL ALWAYS TURNS BLACK, EVEN IF SYNTHETIC IS USED. HE...

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WHEN I NOTICED THAT WHEN I GOT OVER 3000RPM THERE WAS A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE CAR... I SLOWED DOWN AND IT STOPPED FOR A SHORT TIME BUT THEN CAME BACK REGARDLESS OF SPEED. THE KNOCKING SOUND QUICKLY GREW LOUDER SO I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR THE KNOCKING SOUND WAS PERSISTENT. I HAD IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO SAID THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED THAT IT SEEMS TO HAVE THROWN A ROD. I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE AND OIL CHANGES SO THERE WAS NO REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AT ONLY 106K MILES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD FROM OTHER MECHANICS THEY SEE THIS QUITE FREQUENTLY IN THESE MODELS. THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BUT I WAS...

DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH THE CAR SPONTANEOUSLY TURNED-OFF, FORTUNATELY, WE WERE ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD IN TIME. WE WERE ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE BUT THEN ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER IT STARTED MAKING A HORRIBLE GRINDING NOISE. WE HAD TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO TOLD US THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED-UP AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. IN THE MEANTIME, WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM HYUNDAI ABOUT THE OIL PAN LEAK. WE CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND THEY ARE CLAIMING THE ENGINE FAILURE IS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL AND WILL NOT COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THERE WAS 103,000 MILES ON THE ENGINE AND WE FEEL THIS WAS PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE CAUSED BY THE OIL PAN/SWITCH DEFECT. THIS WAS NOT DISCLOSED TO US UNTIL EARLY SEPTEMBER. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE NEVER CAME ON PRIOR TO THIS POINT TO LET US KNOW THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE WAS DETECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ENGINE OIL LEAKED OUT THE VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT NOTICED AN OIL LEAK IN HIS GARAGE WITH PLASTIC RINGS COVERED IN OIL. THE CONTACT HAD TO TAKE THE PLASTIC RINGS OUT OF THE OIL BAG TO SHOW TO THE DEALER WHO THOUGHT THE PARTS WERE INSECTS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HWY ( APPROX 50 MPH ) WHEN THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. GOT TOWED HOME AND TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN. ENGINE TURNED OVER BUT IMMEDIATELY STARTED KNOCKING VERY LOUD. TURNED THE ENGINE OFF IMMEDIATELY. TOWED THE CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC TO VERIFY MY INITIAL DIAGNOSIS. COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT 50K MILES.

THE MOTOR BLEW UP AT 72K MILES IT IS A SALVAGED TITLE SO THE WARRANTY WAS VOID BUT EVERYTHING THAT I RESEARCHED SAID HYUNDAI HAD A MOTOR PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF MOTOR. THEY CLAIMED IT WAS ONLY THE SONOTA COVERED I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE THEY MAKE DIFFERENT MOTORS IN EACH VEHICLE WITH THE SAME SIZE MOTOR. WE WERE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WHEN THE MOTOR BLEW UP.

MY VEHICLE HAS 105K MILES. THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A FAULTY MAIN BEARING. I TURNED THE VEHICLE ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE MANUAL SAYS IT'S OKAY TO DRIVE, BUT TO GET IT SERVICED. SO I DRIVE IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THE ENGINE STARTS MAKING A STRANGE TICKING NOISE, ALMOST TURNING OFF WHEN I STOP AT A LIGHT. THE MECHANIC AND A THIRD PARTY INSPECTOR FROM MY WARRANTY COMPANY DETERMINE THAT IT IS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM, A FAULTY MAIN BEARING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEED, MY CAR LOST POWER. AFTER TRYING TO RESTART, IT WOULD TURN OVER BUT TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY. AFTER GETTING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS EXPLAINED THAT MY 'MOTOR HAS FALLEN APART INSIDE'. THIS IS TO BE SUBMITTED TO HYUNDAI FOR REPAIR BUT MY CAR 'MAY NOT QUALIFY'. THIS IS CLEARLY A KNOWN PROBLEM AND WHY IT HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL IS BEYOND ME. I HAVE A DISABLED SON TO DRIVE AROUND AND THIS DEFECT HAS MADE IT DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I NEED THIS COVERED AND REPAIRED BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY I NEED THIS TO NOT BE AN ISSUE FOR ANYONE ELSE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE TO ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE. DO BETTER!!!

I RECEIVED A RECALL FOR A DEFECT. THE VEHICLE MAY HAVE AN ENGINE OIL LEAK FROM THE SEAL BETWEEN THE OIL PAN & ENGINE BLOCK WHICH, IF LEFT UNREPAIRED & OPERATED OVER TIME, COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO ENGINE DAMAGE. A DAMAGED ENGINE COULD LEAD TO A HIGH-SPEED STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IT COULD ALSO INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE FIRE. I RECEIVED THIS NOTICE IN APRIL 2019. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO GET THE REMEDY GOING? WHEN I PUT IN MY VIN #, IT SAYS IT IS INVALID. I WOULD THINK THEY SHOULD GET THE REMEDY IN PLACE SINCE THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF A CRASH OR FIRE!! WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR?? (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
