2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

I was driving on the highway going 55 mph. My car started sputtering and decelerated to 30mph. The engine light was flashing. Cars behind me had to brake without warning.

Car stopped on highway. Car has 105000 miles and i have done required oil changes . Dealer states engine is no good

The car has been having numerous acceleration issues, it can take upwards of 30secs to actually start moving from a light or stop sign. It also seems to be shifting late and/or slipping. This had caused me to be stuck at a light in the middle of the road and almost hit by another car. Also, my engine completely failed within 5mins, I was driving and the check engine light came on, then the oil light, then the engine started smoking, and then the car died in the middle of the road. The engine completely seized in 5mins. I had all oil changes done and there was never an oil light on saying it was low. When the dealer checked the engine there was no oil, probably from the rod breaking out. There. Was some if the same issues with the same year that got recalled and fixed for free....

After having a level 1 drivability test/inspection test done, code P0300, P1111, P301, P302 & P303 came up. Cylinder compression was tested and found cylinder 3 was at 30 PSI. The technician told me that this is a common issue with this make/model and I should take it to the dealer.

It should be stated first that I do regular oil changes in my Hyundai Tucson and was 700 miles from my next oil change. I purchased this vehicle around 2/8/22 (last year). This past weekend, I was driving and when I came to a stop, my oil light came on and the engine shut off. I managed to get my car to an auto store and the dipstick had no oil on it. We added a quart and managed to get the car home. On the way home, my engine was making a knocking sound. My husband took it for an oil change, and the tech noted that there was only about 2 quarts of oil (and that was after I had just added a quart). They completed a full oil change. We immediately made an appointment with Hyundai to have my car looked at and did not drive it...

My vehicle is currently experiencing the Oil Consumption Defect that many others have complained about. My car stalled and eventually would only go 30 mph on hills. No low oil lights or indicators were observed before this happened. As well as in December of 2022, Hyundai had to replace my catalytic converter for $3000 which I believe now was the problem of the oil being consumed faster than it should be by the engine. I have been told repeatedly that my oil was almost gone even before an oil change was due. No leaks or oil was ever found outside of the vehicle. The dealership confirmed this issue of a defective rod bearing issue and submitted to Hyundai USA for a free engine under the warranty but are dragging their feet about it and keep requesting additional pictures etc. My safety was put at risk when due to no warning...

Engine Failure at 73,000 miles with routine maintenance, under warranty (TXXM). Knocking sound from car, engine light started flashing and unable to accelerate on highway, putting myself and others on the road in danger. Immediately pulled off highway at next available exit and had the vehicle towed to dealer who is negligent in service inspection - stating not part or recent recall or under warranty. Dealer will not return calls or elaborate on service assessment other than "new engine needed." Escalated ticket to Hyundai national account.

two things....my back passenger side door just stopped opening...you cannot open from inside nor can you open from outside... won't open at all and now I notice the window 'sticks' I have to put it down and then it will go up slowly. 2nd this car burns through oil and I have seen other complaints regarding this from others online as well. I have to have an extra container of oil to use once every other week and now the muffler is smelling bad no oil can light ever when on but when I bought it used, about 3 weeks later the engine light came on and it started to knock. I went to a Jiffy Lube and they said "you have no oil" there are no spots at work or my driveway! This engine is a joke

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH, the engine made abnormal knocking sounds. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that there was no compression on the engine cylinder and the engine needed to be replaced. The dealer sent a diagnostic report to the manufacturer. The manufacturer then informed the dealer that a part of the repair would be covered. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 31,000.

The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The failure recurred. The vehicle lost motive power while driving with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was next taken to Quirk Hyundai (111 McGrath Hwy, Quincy, MA 02169) and the contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 35,636.

My car randomly has check engine light go on and off. I check oil and it is low can not drive 3,000 miles without filling oil. It is so frequent that I check it every week. Dealership said they are known for engine issues best if I keep an eye on the oil. I love my car but this is crazy it has101,800 miles.

I have had my 2017 1.8L eco Hyundai Tucscon for 3 years now and recently it's been giving me signs of problems that are great concerns for safety, as well-known for this models; it only 62091 miles as of the day of this complaint. On Jan 15. 2023, I noticed that each time I start the car, it takes a little bit longer, then you hear a rattle sound and shaking of the engine block, then it start. Or the engine would suddenly slip, followed by a brief rattle sound while driving. I took it in for service to Manly Hyundai in Santa Rosa on Jan 27, 2023, but the mechanics there told me that they could not find where the problems are coming from, and that I would need to wait for an engine light to come on, as any diagnostic at this point maybe unnecessary and costly. Had...

CONSTANTLY JERKING, HESITATING OR STALLING.

The car is consuming oil at an excessive rate. Oil needs to be added every 2000 miles. The car will start to run loud and struggle but no leaks can be found and the low oil light is not turning on to warn of low oil. This started about 8 months ago and now I have to frequently add oil every 2000 miles which should not be necessary. There is currently a class action lawsuit pending regarding this issue.

Vehicle is showing transmission issues that match recall issued for same vehicle and model, problems accelerating and misfiring which appears to be dangerous too drive.

the car was unresponsiveness when pushing the gas pedal, delay when accelerating, shaking, and the gears do not seem to change. this causes problems when trying to merge into traffic, make turns and anytime when acceleration is needed. We took it to the dealership said we needed a Dual Clutch kit however the vin does not have a recall therefore want to charge $2264.00. to fix the problem. it is obviously a manufacture defect. the car has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. There were not any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. this problem has been going on for 6 months.

Engine defective after 70,000 miles driven. Hyundai agreed the engine was defective and agreed to replace engine after it was brought in and diagnosed on December 12th 2022. Vehicle still at dealership awaiting new engine. Dealer stated that engine is on back order as of this date January 23rd 2023, and has no idea when it will be coming in!

I have had my 2017 Tuscan a month shy of 2 years. Kept up with oil changes. No oil spots on the cement where I park. Had just had an oil change a few weeks prior in fact. I had loss of power. My car wouldnt accelerate so I took it to Bradford Towing in Haverhill Ma and they looked at it and even put in a camera to see the damage. A bearing in the engine blew a whole through a piston causing an oil leak and misfire. My engine is junk now. Key Hyundai of Salem Nh was contacted by Bradford Towing who confirmed it was a known issue and they had repaired over 80 vehicles in the year prior. My particular VIN hasnt been recalled but it should be. I could have been in an accident or worse. Hyundai wont help me because Im not the original...

2022-1-09 Left the house to run errands and noticed the car seemed sluggish when I stepped on the gas to accelerate. I'd actually felt like this may have been happening for some time but it is a "Sport" and it always felt a little funky when you accelerrated. It was blistery cold so my initial thought was I left too quickly and the vehicle maybe needed time to warm up. It felt like the engine didn't either seem to be shifting to a higher gear, or getting enough power to accelerate which was very concerning as this happened as I pulled out onto a busier road, yet couldn't accelerate. I made it to my first stop but called my husband to express concern something seems off with the vehicle. I told him I would likely skip my errands and come home for him to take a look. After my stop,...

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the check engine warning light was flashing. The contact stated that the vehicle deaccelerated, and the vehicle started shaking. The contact was able to pull over safely, turned off, and then restarted the vehicle and the vehicle operate normally; however, several minutes later the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 49,000.

While driving on the interstate, my Tuscon started flashing a yellow check engine light and lost power. I had previously had it in to question why it would jerk when just starting. Dealer found nothing. We were able to safely get to the safely to the side of the road. It was towed to a dealership. The dealership said I was going to need a new engine. We did put in a good will warranty claim which the company is currently working on needing pictures from all parts of the engine and the dealer is working with them.. The car is a 2017 and only 107,000 miles.

Engine started to misfire on PA turnpike, causing loss of power. Engine light came on. This was on a stretch of road with downhill s-curves at night. Car has been using a quart of oil every 500 or so miles. Turbo disintegrated at 100,000 miles, this current incident happened at 120.000 miles. I believe they are related. So far, Hyundai say that there is no compression in at least one cylinder and they have to disassemble engine to determine extent of problem. Engine codes stated multiple misfires in cylinders 2 and 4.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while his wife was driving at an undisclosed speed, a knocking sound was heard coming from the engine with the oil pressure warning light illuminated.

Almost completed I shop, hoping to have it completed tomorrow. Let me know...

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION causing engine failures. Excessive engine oil consumption, will also shorten the service life of, oxygen sensors and catalytic converters, spark plugs and much more. ALL which I have had to replace since buying vehicle used in May 2021. This vehicle is not on the vehicle engine replacement recall campaign and I am not sure why. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR ENGINE MANUFACTURING PROBLEM. Hyundai should be responsible for manufacturing problems and they also should do what it takes to fix the problem. MY REQUEST: for Hyundai to reimburse me the money I have spent fixing, repairing and money spent on oil to operate this vehicle. AS all the information shows, this is a manufacturing issue with the engine and NO VEHICLE should consume/burn this much oil. It has been proven that EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION causes engine and parts failures. THERE are no leaks detected either by the...

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50-55 mph when the vehicle began smoking from the front end of the vehicle and shortly after began decelerating. The contact coasted to the side of the road where the vehicle stalled. The smoke settled as the vehicle decelerated and stalled. There were no warning. The vehicle failed to restart.

There were no injuries or medical attention needed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who had yet to report a diagnosis. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000.

Engine failure due to oil bearings. Engine collapsed on highway while driving(11/23/2022), no engine or oil light came on prior to incident to warn possible engine failure. Vehicle is currently being diagnosed by Hyundai to determine engine recall. No determination at this time.

I’ve bought this vehicle 5 years ago,I have been the only owner,I’ve done my oil change on time and keep up with all services,my vehicle start making this clapping sounds when I take it to the dealership, they told me the rod In the engine is gone and that I need a new engine,I try to get Hyundai to replace the engine,they asked for proved of oil changes from 70.000 to 102.000 I gave them those then they came back asked for 40.000 to 70.000 I couldn’t get those I lived in few states traveling for work.I look it up and noticed I’m not the only with the issue,they declined to replace the engine,now I have a car that I’m still making payments on with a fail engine that will cost over $15.000. I’ve own so many other vehicles before this,this is the worst experience I’ve had owning a new...

I was driving to work after dropping my son off and I took a right turn onto a street and my car slowed down and the check engine light came on, flashing. I continued to drive to work as I was one minute away and needed to get off the street asap. (where I turned had no room for pulling over). I parked my car. I had a prenatal appointment to go to, so I started my car. No check engine light when started until I got on the on ramp to the mass pike, my car went from 50 to 35 in a matter of minutes. I went into the breakdown lane until the next exit which was only a mile or so. I pulled into a gas station and called my husband to come get me as I still had an appointment to go to. After my appointment...

I have a Hyundai Tuscon 2017 ECO and I am experiencing the same engine symptoms as others involved in recalls. The car is only 5 years old but I have noticed that it has stuttery starts from stops and when just trying to accelerate. The engine would often jerk while driving. The vehicle is at 111,000 miles and now the engine is knocking and has very weak take off to the point it’s not drivable. This poor take off has almost caused me to get hit multiple times. There is no telling when it would happen. After the knocking started I spoke with a mechanic who said that the engines burn oil quickly which I have never been told in the past five years. If this was the cause I would expect the manufacturer to inform the owners that is an issue. No one in the past 5 years worth...

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, upon acceleration from a stop, there was a 3-second delayed before the vehicle responded and sputtered and lunged forward. The contact stated that on several occasions while idling or coming to a stop, the vehicle hesitated. Additionally, the contact stated while in reverse, the audible alert system failed to operate. As a result of the failure, the vehicle almost struck a pedestrian. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was advised to call the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 43,000.

October 7, 2022 my wife with my 7yrs old granddaughter was driving on the highway. She stayed in the middle of 3 lines. At some point the engine lost power shaking badly and quickly slowed down to 30 miles/hr in 70 miles/hr speed limit zone with semi trucks moving in quickly and honking. Thankfully she managed to stop safety on the side of the highway. Later diagnostic showed multiple misfire on all cylinders and opening the engine showed cracked cylinder. I, backed by 2 independent mechanics opinion, think the crack existed long time before the incident. I reported to the car dealer service excessive oil consumption (1qt every 600 miles) only to be told it’s normal. Then the Hyundai Corporation denied 100 k warranty repair blaming without any proof, poor maintenance

My car Was taken care of always getting oil changes whatever it needed done.. one day my car started making a rattling noise. it turned out it was my engine. I do see a ton of my model car 2017 Hyundai Tuscon been having same problems on recall I believe mine is under that category but saying its not. Im literally having the same exact problem as these people that have the recall for their cars. I was literally on the highway and thought I was going to die because my engine was making so much noise and this came out of nowhere the car is in good condition and less than 100,00 miles on it it shouldn't have a engine fail.

On September 30th, 2022, while driving on Interstate 20 west at 65 mph my engine began die and my only choice was to coast onto the shoulder. The engine totally died at this point and the only thing that saved my and nephew's life was being in the right-hand lane of the Interstate. Hyundai roadside service had the vehicle towed that night to Vandergriff Hyundai. Vandergriff Hyundai performed a diagnostic test, and it showed where the engine (209) and monitoring logic (966) both failed. My vehicle has been with Vandergriff (1120 W Interstate 20, Arlington, Texas 76017) since the incident. The Advisor with [XXX] Service dept. is [XXX]and according to him my first repair date was 10/ 21/22 and not it's no guarantee that it will be ready by 11/21/22. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Piston rods blew through the motor. Needing to replace engine at 103,000 miles. Transmission slips and you hear a sputter when accelerating. Car jerks with driving and coming to a complete stop. Fails to accelerate and change gears when driving. Has no reverse.

Engine light and oil light stays on in the car. Car shaking really bad. Oil is evaporating in less than a thousand miles. 2017 Hyundai Tucson. Engine ticking noise and smells like fire.The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. I received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine). I previously took vehicle in to dealer for sae issue back in march of 2022. They said it was fixed and their were no other vehicle engine issues. I was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. My Warning light is illuminated. I was able to restart the vehicle and park the vehicle on the side of the roadway. The vehicle was not drivable. I took the vehicle to the local dealer who associated the failure with the recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair....

The dual clutch intermittently shakes and hesitates while accelerating from a stop. Also, sometimes it's sluggish while driving and feels like it might stall. This is dangerous because if I needed to speed up to avoid a crash, I'm afraid the car may hesitate and be involved in an accident. There are recalls for other Hyundais with the dual clutch transmission for this same problem. Available for inspection upon request. Didn't show this to my dealer. No warning lamps. The engine has always intermittently shook and hesitated when accelerating from a stop. The feeling that the vehicle is sluggish and that it may stall AFTER accelerating while stepping on the gas pedal started recently around 19,300 miles on the odometer. I also reported this issue to Hyundai.

My daughter was driving on expressway the vehicle suddenly lost power. Vehicle began to shudder and became difficult to steer and control. On board diagnostic codes P0300 & P0301. Towed vehicle to my independent mechanic. His diagnosis was mis-fire in cylinder 3 and total compression loss in cylinder three. Major engine failure. Vehicle has 1.6l Gamma GDI engine. Vehicle was then towed to Hyundai dealer. Awaiting diagnostic from dealer ( four week backlog), but there where 85 failed engines ahead of me. Called three other dealers, all had diagnostic waits for engine failures exceeding 5 weeks. If failure is even covered the wait for replacement engines is stated as one year. Sudden loss of power impacted safety controlling the vehicle. I think the issues with this engine class will be well known to NHSTA and report so the size & impact of the issues is best understood at NHSTA.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine) and the vehicle was repaired under the recall. The contact stated that while at a stop and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to accelerate.

There are two problems with the car. The first is excessive engine knocking. I brought it into Island Hyundai on Staten Island. They originally denied there was an issue with some of the cars. They said for a $169 they would do a diagnostic test. They serviced the car and said it was fixed after initially denying there was a problem. The car seemed ok but over time the knocking returned. I return the had to do major engine work ie: cam shaft. Timing chain… On the second visit I complained of excessive oil loss. They checked and said it was a leaking valve cover gasket. They replaced the gasket. I took the car back and drove it. There is still excessive oil loss and still minor knocking occasionally when the car starts to move in first gear. I brought the car back in to the dealer, they claimed there...

My vehicle has a high oil consumption problem. The problem was bad enough that it separated my catalytic converter. I had to pay 20% of the cost to fix. My share was over $500. It was said that this was caused by the high oil consumption issue. So the next step was started. I had an oil change with the intent that I would bring it in at 1000 miles to have the oil level checked. At the time of the oil check, I had driven 992 miles, the oil was checked and I was down almost two quarts. It does not leak oil on the ground when parked. The dealership contacted the manufacturer and they stated that was not an issue. The issue is a thrown rod, blown engine-from high oil consumption. I contacted the manufacturer. They sounded very sympathetic. However, they decided there was nothing they could do....

2017 HYUNDAI TUCSON. CONSTITUENT WRITES REGARDING 1.6T ENGINE PROBLEMS. THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND VIBRATE. THERE WAS SCORING OF THE HEAD CYLINDER.

This car was bought 4 months ago from the Hyundai dealer lot of used cars, according to dealer car was inspected, oil changed, tires rotated etc. My daughter was driving the car on the freeway when suddenly the car began losing speed and power slowing down to about 40mph, she had to steer away from traffic coming from behing to move from the middle lane to the side shoulder, she noticed the oil warning light came on and the car engine began making a noise. When I checked the oil on the car, there was no oil and the car has been driven barely 1,000 miles

I was driving park the car and it wouldn't turn back on . I open the door and the car turn back on . The radio everything reset. Now again couples of days later I was putting gas on the car went finish the car wouldn't start like if no electricity wiered . Everything again reset I am terrified that is a electrical problem. Is to danger. It should be a recalled for this. I think this problem that I am having with my Hyundai Tucson 2017 has electrical problem. And I ain't the only one .

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 20 MPH and preparing to make a left turn, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated the oil, check engine, and battery warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and noticed that the check oil light was flashing on and off. The contact drove the vehicle back to her residence and the vehicle stalled again. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.

On June 18, 2022 I experienced a knocking noise from under the hood of my 2017 Hyundai Tucson Sport, after a regular day of driving - just reaching 80,000 miles on the odometer. I immediately checked the oil and the dipstick was completely dry. There were never any indication lights or alerts to warm me of low oil or engine issues. I had 1,000 miles left until my next oil change, and have always kept up on routine maintenance - I have all records as evidence. I have called Hyundai customer service, filed a claim, and within the next few days they closed the case and said they would not cover costs of a new engine. I took my vehicle in for a diagnostic test, results came back as “internal failure in the engine bearing” - the mechanic said it would be around $9,700 to replace.

After the engine was replaced we are still having electrical and engine issues and dealers in Atlanta area will not accept engine repairs. The car will not start consistently and most dangerous if we use our bights (lights) for just a second even, the car will shut down and restart when the bights are released. This was in stop and go traffic on the highway The radio will stop and do a reset while driving for no reason this has happened on multiple occasions but the bright on day reported below
