2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

VEHICLE ENGINE SHUT DOWN 2018 MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND. HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER RAN A COMPRESSION TEST AND SCOPED THE ENGINE AND FOUND THE CYLINDER WALLS SCORED. PRIOR TO THIS BACK IN 2016 ANOTHER ENGINE ISSUE REGARDING THE ENGINE CARRYING HARNESS WAS ADDRESSED & FIXED. LESS THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE BRAND NEW IN NOV 2013/I AM THE 1ST & ONLY OWNER, I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN THE SPRING AT IT CUTOFF. I REACHED OUT TO THE RACINE WI HYUNDAI SERVICE CENTER OVER A YEAR IN ORDER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING, THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THAT YEAR AS WELL AS MY TOWING THE VEHICLE TO HYUNDAI MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE ISSUE WAS FOUND & FIXED I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT THE SPECIFIC ENGINE IN MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BUT SOMEHOW MY VEHICLE DID NOT MEET THE ENGINE RECALL QUALIFICATION. HOW? WHEN BEFORE I CAN EVEN FINISH...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,570.

NOTICED AN ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE AND SLIGHT LURCHING OF CAR AFTER A COLD START. TOOK IT TO THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND MAINTENANCE AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MY SHORT BLOCK FOR FIVE OR SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS VERY SOON OR MY ENGINE WOULD SEIZE UP. THEY MENTIONED THAT MY CAR'S SYMPTOMS WERE IDENTICAL TO THOSE OF THE HYUNDAI MODELS THAT HAVE A RECALL FOR THEIR ENGINES, NAMELY THICK OIL WITH DEBRIS IN IT. MY 2014 TUCSON USES THE EXACT SAME ENGINE AS THE ONE CURRENTLY BEING RECALLED SO I THINK IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL ENOUGH COMPLAINTS ACCUMULATE THAT THE TUCSON IS RECOGNIZED AS BEING EFFECTED BY THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER MODELS USING THIS ENGINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,175.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR AT 55 MPH, THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY AND I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE CARS FUNCTIONS. IT COULD NOT BE THAT THE BATTERY DIED, SINCE EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WOULD NOT START BACK UP, THE LIGHTS, NAVIGATION AND RADIO WE ALL STILL ON AND WORKING. I THOUGH IT WAS A STRANGE AND DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT FIGURED IT WAS A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE. THIS HAPPEN ON SEPTEMBER 9TH OF 2016. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS DIED WHILE IN MOTION 4 MORE TIMES, BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AFTER EACH OCCURRENCE. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY KEPT IT OVERNIGHT. I ALREADY HAD SOMEONE AT AN ADVANCED AUTO PARTS STORE TEST MY BATTERY, ALTERNATOR AND STARTER, AND ALL OF THOSE CHECKED OUT FINE. I SHOULD ALSO MENTION THAT WHENEVER THE CAR DID DIE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT...

THEY SAYS IT'S CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR AND WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE IN THE 3 MILE RIDE WE TOOK THEY SENT ME HOME WITH IT I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.
