2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

I was just entering the expressway about 70 miles from my home, and the engine light came on in the vehicle. I could not accelerate to more than 52 mph even with the pedal to the floor. I had to drive home in the right-hand lane with my hazards on. This was the second time this happened within a month. The first time the dealer replaced the knock sensor after one week. It ran fine for 3 weeks and then the exact same thing happened in exactly the same place 70 miles from my home. My car has been in the shop for a week now, and they still don't know what the issue is, even though they are communicating with Hyundai. I see a pattern here after reading so many similar complaints from other people owning a Hyundai Tucson.

I was driving on the highway. The engine began making a ticking noise that momentarily went away and then quickly got louder. I saw white smoke out of the back, pulled over, and then saw black smoke from the front. The check engine light only momentarily came out AFTER the white smoke was visible and I was actively pulling over. I ran out of the car, and turned to look only to see a fire under the engine bay. I did not have a collision nor hit anything on the road. Engine had full synthetic oil in it, and the oil was changed less than 10,000 miles precious. (Also checked oil level/condition the week before). The car went from driving fine, to entirely engulfed in flames within 2-4 minutes. Maine state police: case# 245000657 The vehicle has not been inspected by the insurance company yet. The report will be sent...

Dear sir, my 2019 Hyundai Tucson has been in and out of Milford Hyundai five times now they say it is in oil consumption problem they say they requested a new motor. This last time my grandson was in the car we were on the highway out of nowhere the car would not go over 30 miles an hour light was flashing. I got off the highway and called AAA that was eight days ago previous to that it has been checked and towed in three times and driven in while the light was flashing And not going over 30 miles an hour I have not heard from anyone in service . They have not gotten back to me to let me know what’s going on. Their customer service is awful. Please advise I am [XXX] they are taking advantage of my age and me being a woman who has...

My 2019 HyandI Tucson’s engine light came on, so I checked my engine oil and found it to be 2 quarts low on oil, so I added the missing oil and come to find out that 2 weeks ago I had added one quart of oil. That mean in 3 weeks I added 3 quarts of motor oil. I brought the car to our HuandI dealership where we have our vehicles serviced and explained to them to check for engine oil leaks and when I came back to pick up the car, they told me there was no sign of any oil leaks. So if there are no leaks, where is all this oil going? The engine runs just fine but it’s burning much to much oil. I mean you shouldn’t have to put one quart of oil every week, that’s just crazy.. I will have to bring the car...

On November 13, 2023 I was driving the vehicle and the check engine light came on and it went into "limp mode". I was well aware of what was happening because this is at least the 4th time this has occurred since owning the vehicle. It happened in Dec of 2022, Feb 2023, and again on July 6, 2023, The last time it happened the dealer had it for over a month and could not "reproduce" the problem, so I got the car back without anything really haven been done to fix it. Same as in Dec 2022 and Feb 2023. I had to fight to get the dealership to get me a "loaner" rental and had to pay for it out of my own pocket to start with. Eventually after many, many phone calls, voicemails, emails later - I did get reimbursed. But this did not happen until I...

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The vehicle was diagnosed with a failed knock sensor. The contact was informed that the knock sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The contact stated that the failure had been a recurring failure for more than two years. The contact stated that every time the vehicle was taken to the dealer because of the failure, the contact was informed that the vehicle was repaired and then the failure would reoccur. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 84,000.

Oil consumption issues. Presented at oil change with very little oil, no warning light, followed by a loss of a quart every month following. Contacted Hyundai for oil consumption test. Dealer said I would have to replace the oil pan gasket ($600)before they would start the test from Hyundai. Loss of power or engine seizing could be dangerous. I feel Hyundai shoud replace the engine and reimburse me for the oilpan gasket.

Engine passing rod bearing clearance test. I have had the vehicle towed 3x to the dealership for the same issue. KSDS and combustion chamber cleaning was done but check engine light still coming on. This car has put my safety at risk by going into limp mode while driving over 60 mph.

My engine has been losing oil with no leak. 1st shut down was 02sensors crank shaft , check engine light still on took it fixed it not sure how. Brought it in for upgrade in security took it out and a week later didn't start. Now entire exhaust is gone it's still burning oil I called ciorperate because he would not acknowledge the burning oil. So we will start this every 1000 kile test x3 so it may be diagnosed but they still want ne to pay 2600 fix exhaust that is directly linked to sludge and burning oil!? I do nit know what to do but I have already put 1000s in fir service rental tow I literally cannot pay 2600 to get car back to prove the problem and eat it it isn't fair well jotting is but this has got to be illegal so ehow... I hope

my car has been losing oil, i reported it to the dealership when my check engine light was on, 800$ later they give it back, light reappears i brought it back then they fixed it free. brought car in for safety recall told them it was burning and engine smoking while on he did not address told me process would take too much not worth it. check engine light reappears 1 week later then wont stop. he tells me timing chain exhaust failure from unsteady levels of oil... but i need to pay 2600 for the problem the burning oil caused!? i can pay the 2600 but it will still be burning oil so the 3rd failure will occur. there is no way this can be legal can it? so i call corperate, they said charge her 2600 then start the oil burning process, she can also pay for that...

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the vehicle lost power steering and brake functionality. The contact stated that the instrument panel went blank. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure recurred. Additionally, the vehicle was hesitating and jerking while driving at various speeds. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the engine knock sensor software needed to be updated. The vehicle had been repaired. The contact stated that the failure had reoccurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000.

My engine light began blinking and the engine went into emergency mode on 3 separate occasions, and would not go over 40 mph; there was no prior warning. The first incident was in February of this year; the second was in April of this year, and the third occurrence was on 7/28. I purchased my car on 10/8/19 from Fred Beans Hyundai of Doylestown used, with about 12,000 miles on it. It now has 34,426 miles on it. I don't know what's causing the problem, and there haven't been any engine recalls. All the open recalls on it were serviced. When all the traffic around me is doing 60mph or better, this is hazardous stuff! My car has been towed to Fred Beans Hyundai of Langhorne for repair.

On Thursday, July6th 2023 for the 3rd time, the check engine light came on and the vehicle loses acceleration. My safety and others is at risk because it suddenly decelerates and is very likely to cause an accident.the car has been dropped off at dealer who told me they would “try” to look at it early next week. Its not been inspected by Police, Manufacturer or ins reps. The same problem occurred on Dec28 2022 and again in April of 2022. In Dec they replaced the “knock sensor”. In April the code had been cleared so the dealer said there was nothing they could do. Im in a rental vehicle now because the dealer did not have a loaner for me.

Continued excessive oil consumption Oil light has illuminated a few times now I feel something besides an oil consumption test needs to be filed on my 2019 Tuscon Car running rough as well

Knock Senser failed? On Dec 11, 2022 I was merging onto the highway at 530pm rush hour. I merged over one lane and the car made a loud noise and died. Cars flying past me on both sides dodging me in limp mode. I merged back to the right, there was no shoulder area available, so I coasted and finally came to a clearing on the side. I don't know how we didn't get hit. I ended up on a connecting road to another highway, and the Tow company couldn't find us because I didn't know where we were. It took about 3 hours of waiting for service. I had the Hazard lights on until the battery died. There was no warning except for the loud rattling noise and then boom. The car was towed to CHapman Hyundai in Phoenix, it has taken 5 months to get it repaired. I...

Oil consumption issues. No warnings of low oil until vehicle goes into limp mode and the check engine light flashes. Issue started in 8/22. I purchased the car used in 6/21. I have done 2 separate oil consumption tests. The last one concluded on June 21st, 2023. The dealership submitted information to Hyundai. Less than a week later, after the dealership filled the vehicle with oil, it is empty. No warnings. It was discovered because we have been checking the oil often. Vehicle has been towed to dealership 3 times since March. Vehicle currently at the dealership due to no oil.

On May 12 2023 I was driving my vehicle and heard a knocking sound that was unfamiliar. I pulled over and opened my hood and could hear the engine making a continuous knocking noise. I got back into my vehicle to take it to the closest mechanic and the vehicle failed after I had went barely a quarter of a mile. It took Hyundai almost 2.5 weeks to get an appointment with them and another week to have the car diagnosed. The service department called me and said the engine was bad and needed to be replaced. The car engine was still under warranty so my main concern was how long I had been without my vehicle and the rental car costs I was incurring. My vehicle was finally ready and fixed according to the service department. I went picked up my vehicle and started to drive home. As soon...

In June of 2023, my check engine light came on and my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. I took it into the local Hyundai dealership who said it would take 3 months to look at and that this wasn’t a major issue. The car would not accelerate past 45 mph and could barely go up an incline. The dealership never even ran a diagnostic. I checked my oil dip stick and there was barely any oil on it. My vehicle isn’t due for an oil change until September. A local oil change business said I barely had one quart in the engine. They ran the codes and they came up as a P000B and a P1326. Dealership still hasn’t returned my call.

At approximately 69000 miles my engine stalled as I was pulling onto a highway and would not accelerate beyond a low mph. I turned back into gas station I had left and checked the oil. It did not register any oil and had a burning smell. There were never any dash lights indicating low oil. I put almost 2 quarts in vehicle. I then proceeded to drive as it seemed okay. I have had oil changes where the technicians have told me I was low on oil even though it was a normal time frame for oil change. I recently checked my oil just right as my oil change is due and the oil level did not register, nor were there any low oil indicators on dash. I had to add a quart of oil. This poses a hazard/safety problem. If not checked more often than normal, oil could go...

Replaced catalytic converter been to the shop twice. It keeps having reoccurring issue of not wanting to accelerate, won’t go over 54, wont go over 2000 rpm, stalls and misfires. My neighbor has same model and year and just had to replace catalytic converter as well.

My car is burning oil at an abnormal fast rate. I have taken it in to the dealership and they couldn't find the reason for the abnormal increase in oil burning rate. They couldn't find any leaking of oil. I am constantly putting in oil before the 3000 or 3 month oil change is due. If I don't the check engine light comes on and my oil is low. I haven't ran it out of oil but this worries me. Due to persistence from me the dealership replaced the oil sensor but that didn't change anything in regards to the amount of oil this car uses. This started in 2021. My warranty has since expired and I haven't been able to afford taking the car back and fourth to the dealership. I have had it looked at several times without a resolution. We ended up purchasing an extended warranty but...

I’m traveling for work and I have only had to car 11 months. I have 52,000 miles on it and today tracking home my car engine light came on and my car wouldn’t shift through the hills in Missouri. It got so bad after 1 mile of the engine light flashing at me that I had to stop in a construction highway with one lane and stop all traffic to let my car cool down for almost 15 minutes and I started it up and it would not go over 10 miles a hour. With my flashers on I got off the next exit and ran a diagnostic at O’riley’s in St. James Missouri. My codes are reading CAMSHAFT IGNITION CONTROL (P000B) and IGNITION CONTROL MODULE COMBUSTION QUALITY INPUT SIGNAL (P1326)

We have been told by our local Hyundai dealership that the car is burning oil and is unsafe to drive. The dealership recommended a full engine replacement and put in the request to Hyundai HQ who denied the request. The dealership then told us that we need to drive the car for at least 4,000 miles and bring the car in for 24hr - 48hr testing every 1,000 miles. This is our primary family car and we have been told by our own mechanic and the dealership service center that the car is not safe to drive and could be a fire risk. Yet, Hyundai HQ is insisting that we do this oil consumption test and risk our lives and the lives of our children.

My engine is abnormally burning oil with no leaks. Hyundai dealership technicians have verified no leaks. Every 800-1000 miles driven, my oil is down to less than half, and I have to get an oil change. I've now gotten 4 oil changes in 4500 miles.

Car caught fire on the expressway.

*Inside of car smelt like urine upon start. Car went into limp mode. First trip to dealership, catalytic converter was replaced. After the 6th time to dealership for same issue, manufacture approved engine replacement. *The car went into limp mode which posed a safety risk to our family as well as other vehicles on the road. This happened twice while on the freeway and we could have been rear-ended due to unexpected reduced speed. This also happened twice while turning with oncoming traffic approaching. *The problem was reproduced as this happened 6 times before the manufacture would approve an engine replacement. *The dealership replaced all the fuel injectors. No change engine went into limp mode P1326 (failure code). *The dealership installed a new short block engine. *The engine smelling like urine appears to be the first symptom (catalytic converter failure and replaced). When the car went into limp mode the...

Engine lost power. The vehicle was brought in 3 times since 10/22 to Atlantic Hyundai in. The last time was 3/23. The motor was finally evaluated and results sent to Hyundai Corporate Headquarters and the told Atlantic to replace the motor. Service manager Tim Turnbull refused to do so and stated he was putting in a chip in, for us to drive it for 30 days and bring it back in for evaluation. The motor is unsafe.

Vehicle engine light has been on for months, it would come and go. I’ve taken it to Hyundai but they kept saying nothing comes up and maybe it was the gas cap needing to be changed. My car also burns oil TOO fast and the dealership has expressed concern. I’ve also been getting a front collision camera disabled message on the dashboard for the last two days. On 3/23/23, my Tucson not only start making a loud noise but the engine light is blinking and barely drives. I almost didn’t make it home safely or at all

While driving to work on Thursday, February 23 2023, the car suddenly turned off flashing the check engine light and oil light. I was driving on the palisades interstate parkway in New York and had enough momentum with the car to get off on the next exit. Once the car was safely off of the road, I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick because the oil light was flashing and it was smoking. The oil light never came on before with the car. The car also had the recall for the knock sensor replacement to avoid this engine failure. I called Hyundai and the salesperson directed me to have the car towed to the dealership at my expense. Once at the dealer ship, the service advisor explained that they have had several cars come in with the same issue and that they would get back to me. A couple...

2019 Hyundai Tuscon experienced engine failure at 66k miles. This vehicle experienced the exact same issues of vehicles Hyundai previously recalled. It is equipped with knock sensor which was supposed to be a "fix" for the known engine issues. A sensor displaying on dash at the same time the engine starts loudly knocking does not make the vehicle safe. The engine still has the potential to fail and catch fire. Hyundai needs to fix all these engine issues. The Hyundai corporate consumer affairs office nor the dealership will return calls or emails about our vehicle.

Check engine light has come on twice AFTER the car was at dealers for the recall about the knock sensor. Dealer states the recall fix was implemented, however the light came on a day or two after the vehicle was in the shop. I believe they installed a new knock sensor but I’m not sure, check engine light was off when I picked it up. It’s been approximately 5 weeks since I’ve gotten it back and the check engine light came on again. Friend had a scanner tool and used it - code indicated it was the knock sensor again. Went to dealer and was told there was nothing they could do because the code was cleared. This is a huge safety issue as I drive CA freeways with cars doing 75 mph- it will run for a limited time but it won’t let you accelerate and will get you...

At approximately 55,000 miles, the check engine light illuminated. Code P0420 "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". When inspected, the car had consumed about 1 quart of oil after driving at highway speeds for approximately 3000 miles.

I was merging onto a highway at high speeds when the car stuttered. The check engine light began to flash and I lost acceleration. I could push the gas pedal to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. The car lost it's speed and I could not go anymore than 30mph, and it would not go higher than 2rpms. It put me and my baby (who was in the backseat) in danger as we were going fast on a highway and out of nowhere the car lost speed and I could not accelerate. I could've easily been hit by another driver going the regular speed limit. I drove it to the dealership that just happened to be down the street, and the car struggled to accelerate from a complete stop, as well as in general. From a complete stop, the car would sputter and jerk when pressing...

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH and merging onto the highway, the vehicle began to lose motive power. The contact stated that the check engine warning light started flashing. The contact stated that a loud humming noise was coming from the engine compartment. Additionally, the steering wheel began to vibrate. The contact pulled off the highway, and at the bottom of the off ramp she had to stop for a traffic light. The contact stated that when the light changed, and she depressed the accelerator pedal, the vehicle lunged forward while shifting from 1st gear into 2nd gear and then stalled. The contact stated that it took several attempts to restart the vehicle. The contact drove to her residence while the vehicle struggled but was unable to exceed 25 MPH. The contact drove the vehicle to an auto parts store and...

While driving, I came to a stop sign and the car completely shut off. The car restarted and then I stopped at a stop sign and the car completely shut off. I had the car towed and they told me that it had catastrophic engine failure. I haven’t even owned this car for 1 year yet. How could the engine fail. Upon further investigation, it appears that this is a known issue with Hyundai Tucson’s of the same year.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while in her daughter's possession, the engine had failed to start after multiple attempts. Several warning lights illuminated the instrument panel during the failure. The vehicle was jumpstarted and the horn began to blare once the engine restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they were unable to determine the failure. The contact also stated that the vehicle would rattle while both idle and upon activation of the AC. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given to a case manager; she was later instructed by the case manager to take the vehicle back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

In this 2019 Hyundai Tucson with about 31,000 miles, engine stalling occurred the second time during driving with two passengers on I-76 at approximately 73 mph in the cruise mode on September 11, 2022; the speed kept dropping and gas pedal did not respond at all; fortunately, the driver could manage to pull over the car to an emergency zone; from the lesson in the first engine stalling incident on I-376 on in October 2021, turning the ignition key to the OFF position then to the "ON" appeared to make the engine work again, like nothing occurred; there was no engine warning light, or OBDII warnings.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 35-45 MPH, the vehicle started jerking. The accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond and stalled. The contact smelled a burning odor coming from the A/C vents. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle several times; however, the failure persisted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 33,243.

The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while her daughter was driving 10 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the check engine and low oil warning lights illuminated. The driver was able to restart the vehicle to park properly. The contact towed the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the engine to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was associated with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V543000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,668.

2019 Hyundai Tucson I purchased 13 months ago with a mere 5, 241 miles on it., (Currently 29k mi) from Bert Ogden Subaru/Mazda in Edinburg, TX. On 6/26/22 it Started Shaking violently then "rodknocking" and finally failing in middle of major, high-traffic hwy. Near causing accident. NOwarning lights, check engine lights, oil lights, etc. Car was towed to Tipton Ford Hyundai, in Brownsville, TX. As it urns out (through my own research), my vin# falls under a recall issue that was not fixed prior to purchase nor disclosed to me, re:"engine monitoring and logics warning system failure". More importantly, 2) There are several class-action lawsuits underway, one settled, in which Hyundai was found liable for faulty "class II Theta Engines" and a suit involving "GDI NU 2.OL" (same as my vehicle) leading to rod knocking sensor failure, premature worn bearings and even cars catching fire! This is a no-brainer situation...

Engine failure due to connecting rods issue. Engine began to smoke while driving with no warning, had complete engine failure and had to have vehicle towed to dealership.

The contact owned a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH the vehicle started smoking and overheating. The contact was able to pull over safely. There were no warning lights on the instrument panel. Once the vehicle stopped the doors were automatically locked. The nearby drivers notified the contact of the fire under the vehicle. Once the contact exited the vehicle, the engine was destroyed by the fire. The inside of the vehicle was still functional. The state police arrived on the scene; however, a police report has not been obtained. The fire department also arrived and extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to a wrecking yard. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. There were no injuries or medical reports. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

I helped my daughter buy a used 2019 Hyundai Tuscon with 42K miles since she was going to med school and needed reliable transportation. At 62K miles the engine failed. The engine stalled in the middle of the highway and she was in the middle of the highway for some time before she could restart the engine. She was nearly rear ended. The dealer she brought the car back to said there was no oil in the engine despite the fact that she had the oil changed two months before this incident. There have been many problems with the Hyundai "Theta II" and 2 liter GDI engines that were supposedly fixed and there was a class action lawsuit on Hyundai Tuscons up to 2016 which was well publicized. This car has a 2 liter engine (which is all I know). It does not appear that Hyundai has fixed their engine...

As previously stated, was driving when csr began to smoke and stall. After almost three months of being at the dealership it was determined to be the ROD BEARING failure. Earlier models of this vehicle have been recalled due to this issue. Please look into the newer models as well.

Motor blew with regular maintenance done at 77k

When driving car slowed down and battery sign appeared on the dash board. The car started to gives jerks when stopped at the traffic light. When continued after the lights, it struggled to pick up. This happened two to three times in two days.

Engine stalled. Drove it to gas station but engine has knocking sound. Was told that it may fall under the Theta Engines recall.

Car started knocking on a Wednesday like it wanted to cut off, no engine lights came on. Got car towed to dealership on Thursday morning, still no engine light. Dealership called on Thursday said I need a new engine. Car was a 2019 Hyundai Tucson which I purchased in 2020 with 60,059miles. I was the second owner.

On 2-23-2022 , I was driving approximately 30 MPH when all of a sudden there was a noise that kept getting louder which sounded like a knocking or broken fan, the vehicle RPM increased, the vehicle hesitated, did not accelerate, stalled, the check oil and engine light came on, I coasted into parking lot. When I opened the hood, there was no signs of smoke, oil leak, or smells, however, when I went to check the oil, smoke came out of where the oil dip stick goes. I attempted to have the vehicle jump started with no luck, just a clicking sound. I had the vehicle towed to be serviced.
