The vehicle has consumed the oil and no light came on. I drove and i checked when the running engine start doing a dry noise and loose the power. The stick was completely dry, i filled with 2 litters and now the stick show in the half. My vehicle has 60k miles and tomorrow will check on the servis. It is unacceptable first how the vehicle consumed the oil and the second the system didn't notify risking an overheat and posing an elevated risk to spop in the middle of the road causing an accident

On three occasions while the vehicle was idling, the dashboard screens and interior lights went completely black, and the steering wheel jerked abruptly in my hands. This sudden electrical failure creates a serious safety concern, particularly if it were to occur while driving at higher speeds. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the problem. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. There were no warning lamps after the problem occurred. The vehicle ha

My 2019 Hyundai Tuscan has been burning oil and the oil has to be topped off every 1,000 miles or so. There are multiple check engine lights illuminated: abs, front collision, traction. These lights have flashed off and on for 3 years but are not light up solid. This sounds like an issue.

Purchased this car used 3 years ago. Followed owner's manual for oil and filter changes. On 1/2/26 the engine seized, had it towed to Hyundai dealership and they will not approve a replacement for the engine because they said I hadn't followed maintenance guidelines. I submitted all receipts and they still are denying. I had the KSDS and all Hyundai campaigns addressed which was to extend the warranty and they still deny. NO WARNING LIGHTS whatsoever came on until the engine seized on the

Car is burning oil quickly. Had 2 oil changes within 3 months. Way before it was needed. No oil leaks detected. Oil gets dark fast and is burning off quickly. Take to Pep Boyz and other repair shops. Not yet taken to dealership.

Hello, my 2019 Hyundai Tuscan I have owned for 3 years-4 years. Unfortunately it is a GDI Motor, it uses oil so bad, even though I do change the oil every 3,000 miles, and do every maintenance on the vehicle that is told to me done, ever time I change the oil it is low, even though I top it off through out the 3,000 miles. I have no leaks at all and it is just evaporating, I do not think this is right for a 2019… there is several issues and concerns from other buyers with this issue. There sho

My 2019 Hyundai Tucson previously required an engine replacement due to a known defect. After the engine replacement, the check engine light remained on. Recently, the check engine light began flashing, and the vehicle was towed to the dealership. I was informed the vehicle has a radiator/cooling system failure. Given the history of engine defects and warning lights, I am concerned about vehicle safety and reliability.

I am submitting this complaint regarding excessive and abnormal oil consumption in my 2019 Hyundai Tucson. Despite regular maintenance and oil changes performed according to manufacturer recommendations, my vehicle consumes oil at an excessive rate, requiring frequent oil top-offs between oil change intervals. I have experienced low oil levels with little to no warning, which poses a serious safety concern due to the risk of engine failure while driving. The vehicle does not show visible oil le

Oil component failure causing extreme heating within the engine and catalytic converter which poses risk for engine fire. This oil consumption issue was addressed by the dealership who ran a test to see how much oil was consumed. The test results showed that the vehicle was burning oil at a high rate and would ultimately result in engine failure. The low-oil light has never come on indicating a need for an oil change. Despite this, I have constantly pulled my own dip stick and got changes ev

20251218LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION

My 2019 Hyundai Tucson, VIN [XXX] , has developed engine knocking, which may indicate internal engine failure. A mechanic has suggested a possible loss of cylinder compression, though the exact cause has not been confirmed. Hyundai vehicles from similar model years have experienced engine failures related to bearing wear and metal debris, leading to stalling, loss of power, and complete engine failure. These failures present a serious safety risk, particularly if the engine fails while driving.

The contact's daughter owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that his daughter had parked the vehicle and left it unattended while in the on position. After approximately 10-15 minutes, the daughter attempted to shut off the vehicle by turning the ignition key from the front passenger side, but after powering off the vehicle rolled backwards down the driveway, also dragging the daughter. While rolling backwards, the front passenger door hit the concrete mail box, and the vehicle continu

The engine has begun making a persistent knocking sound, especially during acceleration. A mechanic inspected it and indicated it may be related to cylinder compression issues or internal engine damage, but the exact cause is not yet confirmed. Because this matches symptoms associated with the known connecting rod bearing defect affecting the 2.0L Nu GDI engines, I am requesting a full warranty inspection under the Engine II Settlement and Hyundai’s extended engine warranty program.
