2017 Hyundai Tucson complaints

Car engine needs to be replaced. As soon as it hit 100k miles the turbo super charge something is faulty or defected. Smoke comes out the back pipe, car always jerked but now it’s not accelerating at all. We kept up with maintenance care such as oil changes. Hyundai will not cover because it’s over the 100k warranty

The passenger front door and the driver side back door latches do not work I am unable to open the doors

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while starting and while driving the vehicle, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the vehicle. The check engine warning light was flashing. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs were dead, and the mechanic turned off the check engine warning light. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took possession of the vehicle, but after driving for approximately 90 miles, the check engine warning light started flashing. The contact stated that the engine continued knocking. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

Purchased the 2017 Hyundai Tucson used (2nd owner) with 62000 miles, before the vehicle was driven 10000 miles the vehicle stalled on the freeway, when it started back up wouldn’t go over 40 miles -took to the nearest dealership where they replaced the entire electrical mainframe for the engine, covered by Hyundai. Vehicle stalled again and check engine light came on around 81000 miles, took to the dealership again and they diagnosed as catalytic converter needed to be replaced - out of pocket expense. A month later check engine light on again, back at the Hyundai dealership and diagnosed as engine failure. Hyundai is trying not to cover the engine, currently have an active case with Hyundai due to engine manufacturing errors/problems and problems with oil consumption - we were supposed to start the oil consumption test right around when the engine failed too.

After putting my son in his car seat, I walked around got in the car and the rear window exploded. There was no warning. I called the cops of course they couldn’t do anything. This is a defect Hyundai must fix. Glass was all over thankfully my son didn’t get hurt. There are others who have experienced the same problem.

The vacuum pump on my 2017 hyundai has a faulty cap resulting in an electrical error to the CAN system. This causes dash lights abs 4wd parking break stability control tpms sensor check engine light to eliminate and the speedometer to not work. All of the systems are not opperating due to the system not being able to communicate. It is illegal and a safety issue to not be able to use the speedometer.

Vehicle stalled on highway without any warning. It was towed to the local dealership. After inspection, determined there was no oil even though the car has been maintained on a regular basis with oil changes. Dealer does not want to replace engine but instead do another oil consumption test which will put us at risk for another stall in the middle of the road.

We are getting a Knock sensor ERROR & Oil consumption issue. So last year I had a few recalls on my car, I took it to the dealer for then to do the updates. One of the recalls was the knock sensor. Also last year, the check engine light come on and Tires plus said it was my Knock sensor. Tires Plus cleared the code and it was fine until I had an oil change due this month I still had 3000 miles before it was due and the check engine light came on again, But this time I couldn't drive over 20 mph. I had to get it towed to a mechanic in Collegeville. His diagnostics was it was the knock sensor, He told me that Hyundai knows this is a problem but won’t fix it until it presents a problem. That being said The Collegeville Mechanic said its called a quiet recall. When I called Hyundai corp. recall center they told me that they don’t recognize quiet recalls. I had an appointment with the Springfield Hyundai Aug. 3, 2023 They would even look at it because the code was cleared but I called them first when it happened to get it towed there and they push the appointment back 3 weeks. I couldn't wait I need to get to work. I Also Recently 9/18/2023 Conicelli Hyundai and the guy told me when I got there that they have a whole lot full of Hyundai's that need Oil consumption test and would be able to look at my care un till March of 2024 That I have to take it back to where I bought it. Hyundai and Kia know of this issue but wont fix. WHY? I hope you can help me because I'm at a loss here an

My 2017 Hyundai Tuscon excessively consumed oil. I took it into Hyundai of Kirkland. I was informed an Oil Consumption test would be completed by the Service Advisor, Chris Z. First I had my oil changed, then I was told to bring the car back in around 1000 miles. the first time I brought the car in, I was over 1000 miles. Chris informed me he would rather me bring the car back in under 1000 miles than over 1000 miles.

Makes a noise and oil was low with no leaks

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under TSB: 21-01-073H (Engine). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed the contact that the engine was misfiring. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

When proceeding to move forward, the vehicle will sputter. Almost as if the vehicle is out of gas or not getting enough power to smoothly accelerate. This presents a very hazardous condition when leaving a red light or crossing an intersection. The vehicle jerks and sputters for about 2-4 seconds and then responds to the gas pedal and accelerates. Took it to the dealer and explained the problem and they said it's a known problem but there hasn't been a recommended fix and to drive the vehicle with the Turbo mode on. Even with Turbo mode on, the issue still persists.

Engine was experiencing issues as described in the existing safety recall for 2017 Hyundai Tucsons (failed knock test at Hyundai dealer). Hyundai is only covering one half of the cost as they say it is not covered by the existing recall.

Not to long after I purchased the car I have to put oil in the car every 4 to 5 weeks.Sometimes the motor sounds like it’s going to blow.The car slows down and sounds loud.Never once has a oil light turned on.When I checked the oil it doesn’t appear on the stick.

Car hesitates when accelerating from a complete stop and the car will jerk when driving at low speeds while accelerating.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 MPH, the vehicle stalled but restarted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. While having an oil change at an independent mechanic, the contact was informed that the oil level was extremely low. The mechanic suggested to the contact to check the oil level regularly. The contact added approximately a 1/2 quart per month but had to add more oil over time. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the spark plugs, and ignition coil were replaced. The dealer performed two oil consumption tests however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed her that there was no compression in the engine. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 81,091.

Engine stalled in the middle of the highway. Could not get speed over 30mph to get out of the way of oncoming traffic even with the gas peddle pushed to the floor. Engine light flashing. Finally was able to get over to the side of the road with care bucking and jerking the whole way and stuttered to a stop.

6 Mar 2023 check engine light comes on. Took to my mechanic (they were closest to me) to put on machine to find out what the problem was; they state that it was the knock sensor and said to take it to the dealership and also let them know that it was down one quart of oil since the last oil change Jan 2023). Dealership took possession of vehicle on 8 March 23. Didn't begin repairs until 5 Apr. Then they state there was still noise from engine and found scoring on the cylinder walls and may be why it's consuming oil. Then they wanted oil change records. Finally, after providing records, "Hyundai approved replacement of engine". Legal battle ensued because they were charging for parts (lifters) that were no longer on my vehicle. Ended up having to pay for the full invoice after bullying and terroristic tactics only to have the check engine light come on again (picked up the evening of 15 Aug 23, CEL came on at 06:00 on 18 Aug 23). Eminent engine failure, limp mode and/or fire potential make me afraid to keep my vehicle but financially, I must keep it a while longer.

Rear passenger door will not open without manually adjusting the internal door handle components with a screwdriver (or similar tool). This poses a huge safety risk, trapping a passenger in the vehicle. I am in the process of having the door repaired, but this issue has been recalled on other models and the cost of repair should not be on the consumer, since it is a known defect.

Was driving down the road when it started making a metallic noises then all of a sudden the car sputtered, shot flames and smoke out from underneath the car and metal debris went flying. I had to tow my car to the dealership where they still have it. They said there is a hole in the engine block where a rod was thrown. After this incident we looked more into the problem to find that other Hyundaia have had the same issue. No check engine light came on, the car didn't over heat or anything it was random.

My Hyundai Tuscon has started to burn oil in 5/22 and I brought the car to the dealer (Pugi Hyundai in Downers Grove, IL) and the dealer at the time was directed by Hyundai that the vehicle needed to wait to do an oil consumption test. In 2-23 the vehicle was taken to Wilkens Hyundai and they preformed work on it. The vehicle still continued to burn oil. Hyundai stated I could not pull the dipstick and check oil. in 6-23, the I made a rapid stop in the vehicle and the oil pressure light briefly displayed and the engine started lightly sputtering at highway speeds causing a brief loss of power. At the same time, there was a brief period of blue smoke emitting from the exhaust causing visibility issues for me and other drivers. This event put me and other drivers at risk, The vehicle has been inspected by the dealer multiple times and it has not been determined the cause of failure and I am unable to check my oil during the oil consumption tests, putting me and other drivers at risk due to a potential stalled engine or seized engine due to loss of oil pressure.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine light illuminated, smoke came from underneath the hood, and a nearby driver signaled and indicated that the vehicle was on fire. The contact stated he immediately drove the vehicle to the shoulder and less than a minute later the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The contact stated that a fire and police report had been filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for investigation. The contact stated that he had made two attempts to get the vehicle serviced for the NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 68,000.

Vehicle caught fire damaging wiring harness. engine has hesitation, AC system was damaged by fire. recall shows electrical system/engine and brakes in recall. Hyandai refused to replace citing missed oil changes. oil was changed regularly but not always at the dealer. These particular problems are exactly what the recall was for, problem is design and manufacturing the oil change issue has no effect. I want these fixed as soon as soon as possible

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle hesitated, lost motive power, and stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the catalytic converter was faulty and needed to be replaced. The catalytic converter was replaced but the failure recurred. The catalytic converter was replaced a second time however, the failure returned. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 110,000.

Excess Oil Consumption, Gear slipping, Dual Clutch, Fly Wheel, Oil found in the Turbo inlet, Clutch dust found in the transmission, Encouraged to just keep adding oil and drive the vehicle. Encouraged to drive the car when there was assumed to have contaminated transmission fluid. Encouraged to keep extra oil in my car since it was consuming oil rapidly but was still considered with in specification from Hyundai. Encouraged to add oil and drive the car after it stalled and quit working. This is a known defect with Hyundai's. Some even catch fire and also stall at high speeds while being driven. This is irresponsible, hazardous, and neglectful behavior that could have hurt or even worse killed someone.

The contact owns a 2017 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle failed to respond upon depressing the accelerator pedal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to drive to a nearby independent mechanic, and the mechanic determined that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V727000 (Engine). The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I am not a mechanic but when I drive my vehicle, I feel like it doesn't have enough amps to move it along like it's missing something. I have pressed on the accelerator and heard a "winding noise" like the little engine that could but wants to. This is a horrible car!!! I have only had this vehicle for a month and it's a nightmare to drive. It sometimes does not accelerate, and the take-off is unbearable gives me the impression I will be rear ended one day. It even jerks and sputters, even the "rpm" feature shows high acceleration at inopportune times. I had a diagnostic performed and was told the plugs and ignition coils needed to be changed so I did that to the tune of $400 for the parts, and now not even a week later I am being told I need to change them again. How can this situation be rectified? I don't have another $400 every month in addition to the payment and insurance to replace those things every month. I want to know if you all have a fix for this to prevent all this unnecessary money from being spent. I am aware that a tune up is necessary but every month. Please tell me how this can be fixed thank you.

There is a problem with the dual clutch transmission on this 2017 Hyundai Tucson. There was a class action suit filed 2016 for transmission defects including the hesitation and shuddering issue and also grinding noises. I purchased this vehicle in 2020 with only 6600 (yes, hundred) miles not knowing of any problem or issues. 2023 in Tucson AZ when the weather started getting very warm end May, June I started noticing a bit of hesitation, sometimes like a grinding noise. This was not happening all of the time but from the reviews it happens when it gets warm. The shaking or shuddering as they call it and hesitation is very prominent and continuous now. When I had my car in for oil change in Tucson at the Hyundai dealer the service manager even drove it and said it was the dual clutch transmission. I asked about replacing the transmission then and he said that I did not have a warranty. That was another issue as I was told by Hyundai corporate before buying the vehicle that the 100,000 warranty would transfer to me. I found out in July it did not. I opened a case with Hyundai service who contacted Eastside Hyundai and I even got a call from the svc mngr who drove the vehicle. He said that Hyundai would not end up covering it all even if they said they would, they may have to have car for awhile and I would need a rental, and anything else negative about the situation. That manager never called back so caseworker called another dealer numerous times and said that they could chec

Vehicle caught fire while driving despite recall fixes. Vehicle was serviced by a dealership a week prior to the incident. While driving the ABS and other lights on the dash starting flashing, the steering was started to go out then smoke started coming into the car vents inside the vehicle. While I was not injured my only saving grace was that I was already in the left lane during rush hour traffic. The vehicle was inspected by both insurance as well as a Hyundai USA representative, the Hyundai representative would not state the cause of the incident citing "proprietary information". The vehicle is a total loss. There was not any crash involved to ignite a fire.

Loud knocking coming from engine.

On July 22nd, the duel clutch malfunctioned & caused the vehicle gear shift to no longer engage. The car does not move in Drive or Reverse. It can only be pushed in Neutral or towed. This occurred while I was driving home on the highway with no warning lights or prior symptoms indicating a potential issue. The vehicle has not yet been seen by Hyundai but they did say that since my VIN was not registered to the existing recall, there is not much they can do & any repairs would be out of pocket. It has been seen by our family mechanic, PepBoys & has currently been sitting at AAMCO with no solution as of today since August 2nd. Geico said since this is a mechanical issue & not an accident, they cannot assist. Carmax Customer Relations (where I purchased the Vehicle on March 12th, 2023) has been informed but so far offered no solutions. I am told they cannot offer much assistance due to the 90-day warranty being surpassed, extended warranty not being purchased & the current milage on the car. A case with Hyundai Customer Relations has also been opened as of today, August 15th & they are escalating the issue to their legal department as we are considering taking legal action at this point.

Excessive Oil Consumption

Excessive oil consumption, vehicle hesitate and sputters when attempting to enter into traffic. Spark plugs expire early. We've been dealing with this worsening issue for 40k miles. My wife no longer feels safe driving this car. Dealership could not recreate the problem. They likely know what the problem is.

Oil drain plug fell out while driving down the highway and oil drained from engine causing internal engine damage. Low oil light came on and engine stalled within seconds. No warnings or lights were on before this happened. Stuck on the side of road for an hour with my family. Had it towed to Hyundai. Tech said drain plug was laying in the skid plate. No oil left in engine. They replaced filter and filled with oil the idled the car for some time and test drove. Tech said no power and there is internal engine damage. Service rep told me to call oil change facility where serviced last. They said cause was human error so warranty will not cover repairs. My car is still sitting at the dealership. Valvoline express care last serviced 22 days and 1336 miles before the drain plug fell out. Valvoline directed me to NHTSA investigation for this issue.

I was driving the cars lights went off it started knocking then a scraping noise I looked under car the plastic cover was half off so I took off to see what the problem was 2 pieces of broken metal were on plastic cover and oil was coming out had to tow it took to dealership in Odessa where I bought to car still had packaging in it … dealership says my car is not one of the Tucson that has a recall on it…why?

The engine started burning oil and making clanking noises. I took it to the dealership where they told me that the vehicle will need a full engine replacement. The vehicle has 76k miles and well maintained. Just out of warranty. It's unacceptable for a modern engine to have these sort of problems. And I'm not the only one. I know a lot of people have been having the same issues with this same type of vehicle.

Starting in early 2023 my engine started consuming oil. My car only has 60,000 miles on it. It's ridiculous to do an engine consumption test because this is a known issue with a class action lawsuit having already been filed. There are numerous complaints out there about this issue and yet an engine recall has not been done. Hyundai needs forced to replace these engine NOW before someone is killed with one seizing in traffic. I just did an oil change in February. I clearly don't drive my vehicle often at all. I noticed an issue at acceleration all the sudden it would bog down and not take off. Thinking I needed to change the air filter I did just that and then the check engine light came on. I made it to an O'Reilly auto parts store with a code P0011. I checked my oil to find NOTHING on the dipstick. Second time this year this has happened.

Just purchased a 2017 Tuscon less than a year ago. September 2022 with 62k miles on it and have had regular maintenance and suddenly low engine oil light came on. Also has a knocking sound. Car now only has 69k miles on it and and no mechanic will even do work on it. Says that car is known for engine issue. there is metal particals in the engine oil and oil is burning at large consumptions. Can not even drive car at this moment.

In March 2023 I took my car to the dealership for routine oil change and mentioned that I was having to put oil in the car in between oil changes. The dealership said they would send the information to Hyundai and call me with their response but they never called me. On April 14, 2023 I took the car back to dealership after it started rattling, the engine light came on and the car went into limp mode. I left it at the dealership for 2 days for service. I was told to drive it for 1,000 miles and return for oil check But I had to bring it back to dealership before 1,000 miles because it was burning oil again. I left it at the dealership for 1 day for service I was told to drive it for 1,000 miles and bring it back for oil check. On June13, 2023 I brought the car back to the dealership and after waiting for an hour the tech told me he performed the last step in the oil consumption test and that my car was fine. But the car continues to burn oil and rattles. This is a car that I take to the dealership for routine oil changes since I purchased it in 2016. The engine is under warranty and every time I go to the dealership for this issue I get a different response because they know that Hyundai is aware of this issue with this make and model and it seems like nothing is going to be done about it. I continue calling the dealership for an update from Hyundai but they tell me they haven’t gotten a response. It’s obvious nothing is going to be done about this. In the meantime I’m afraid

The Hyundai Tucson 2017 we own experienced excessive oil burning, due to what appears to be a known Hyundai Engine failure which can cause the bearings to fail. My Hyundai Tucson appears to need new bearings which requires a full engine replacement based on how this car is made. This particular model does not have a recall on it however several other Hyundai models do for the very same known issue. This engine could have seized while driving at higher speeds on the freeway making this a serious safety matter. There does not appear to be a clear indicator of this excessive oil burning.The car was not leaking oil, was not smoking, but for some reason it was burning all oil between oil changes ( 3,000 miles). This 2017 engine should be able to go 5k miles between oil changes, however that was not the case. From reading various posts from other Hyundai Tucson owners, this issue is impacting more drivers than might be realized. The safety concern this kind of failure poses needs to be reviewed and someone needs to have Hyundai do the right thing and issue the recall for repair this known engine failure. People shouldn't have to lose their lives to get the right safety attention on this issue.

There are no warning lights. My car stalls when I go to take off from a stop. It stalled on an interstate. It acts like there is no power if you put your foot on the gas all the way down It will take off eventually or if you put it in park turn it off and back on it will go without histation. This has happened at stop lights as well. I am scared that I will get hit.

The vehicle was serviced not long after I got it as a certified pre-owned vehicle for reprogramming of the transmission, which I told it was a just a reprogramming to make it more reactive. The vehicle would fail to accelerate, or have delayed acceleration. I was not aware at the time that these vehicles were known to have faulty transmissions and if I known this at purchase I would have spent my money on a more reliable vehicle. The vehicles transmission is having issues again, not reversing, not accelerating, etc. The Hyundai dealership I got it from told me that they won't even get me into the dealership for a diagnostic until January 6th,,, which is a huge safety issue. Furthermore, apparently Hyundai is well away of the fact that they have allowed Hyundai owners to drive vehicles with faulty transmission and will not help with extended the warranty on their vehicles. I am 477 miles over 100,00. It seems as though they do not even want to help with repairs, even if they are out of pocket.

Vehicle stops changing gears, fuel pressure dropped while driving on highway. Vehicle does pickup speed over 40mph. No check engine light warnings. Vehicle can only change gears using manual mode and still does not pick up speed and fuel pressure is not sensed as pedal to the floor doesn’t make the engine move faster but makes the engine sound like a transmission issue is happening.

The check engine light started flashing and the vehicle would not go over 25 miles per hour. Thankfully I was pulling into a parking lot when the reduction in speed occurred. If this had happened on the interstate (which I commute on regularly) it could have been extremely dangerous. Hyundai dealership never returned my calls about service, I had the vehicle towed to another service provider (Jensen Tire & Auto) who performed a diagnostic which showed codes P0300/0302/1326/0011. They also said the engine was 2 quarts low on oil and there was no sign of an oil leak. The vehicle mileage was at 74344. I had oil changed at 71579 miles with full synthetic, and at 66230 miles prior to that. There is no sign of oil leak where I park the car. I regularly change my oil and service my car according to the manufacturer recommendation (just not at the dealership). This problem is not on the recall list for this vehicle, yet there are several instances of this posted in online forums. (https://www.carproblemzoo.com/hyundai/tucson/engine-burning-oil-problems.php). This problem is not due to lack of proper care, but to a dangerous defect in the Tuscon 2017 engine that misuses oil and causes a sudden an unexpected decrease in acceleration.

Back door does not open without manipulation of pushing in the cable line in the door handle. Cannot exit or enter without doing so

Faulty wiring on wiring from alternator led to electrical fire

My truck was stolen so most likely they messed up my ignition. Before this my lights keep going out every time I replace one a different one goes out. Wheel always going out of air and my truck always jerking when driving or breaking. I am a victim of the “Kia and Hyundai” boys in Baltimore city that’s going around stealing people cars.

There is no accident. My paint is peeling around the rear windows. The paint color is dazzling white.

When pressing on the accelerator pedal the Tucson jerks and hesitates and seems to almost turn of then after a few seconds will actually accelerate. This almost caused me to have an accident because it stalled when making a right turn.

Vehicle was called in 2022 for recall #209 and nothing was found. On 07/02/2023 vehicle engine light came on and started flashing. Took to local parts store and diagnostic was performed and showed to be vehicle bearing rod was bad. Vehicle is slow to advance on acceleration.
