On 4/8/2023 I began hearing a ticking noise coming from my engine while driving. I took my car into Sid Dillon Hyundai Dealership of Lincoln NE on 4/10 and picked it up on 4/11. They completed 2 recalls (valve cap replace and ABS kit replace) and an inspection on the engine. The recalls did not fix the issue. They determined that the cylinder 3 rod bearing has excessive clearance of.37 MM. They advised that the vehicle should not be driven as it could lock up at any time. They found that the engine needs a replacement. I was quoted $13,000 for a new engine replacement. They let me know that there has been extended warranted for this exact issue on the 2.0 and 2.4 engine. However, my vehicle has the 1.6 engine which was not included in the extended warranty although it has the same issue.

March 6, 2023 the check engine came on and I came out of pocket $900 for new Ignition coils.. A month later, the engine starts knocking and now they're saying that the engine is completely bad and would have to replace it. The engine burned alot of oil in that time. I was getting oil changes before the oil change mileage mark. I'm stuck at this moment because there is no recall for the engine for my vin.

My vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas - also I am low on oil and I-??m not due for an oil change, meaning there is an oil consumption issue with the engine. Something is wrong with the engine/oil.

The Check engine light never went on and I did not cause any harm to the car. I was simply driving and all of a sudden the engine sounds like the car will explode with no warning. 58,000 miles. The car was checked out by the dealer and they are recommending a completely new engine. They have no explanation for me.

It's like the transmission has hesitation before it decides to go. I step on the gas and it doesn't go right away, it takes a couple seconds and then the rpms go up really high. There has been no accident but this has happened many times.

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

- Oneonta, NY, USA

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. I got quoted $16,000 from the dealer. That's more than I owe and what the car is worth. I'm stuck with no vehicle and don't know what to do.

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.

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 lights or anything, my car just stalled and stopped in the middle of the road. I also was told by an employee at the dealership that my vehicle barely passed Hyundai's bearing test and to "drive my vehicle until it blows up" and then they should be able to cover the engine. I was not willing to put my safety at risk on a highway 300 miles away from my home. So it has sat at the dealership for at least a month now. It was available upon request

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 until we were driving it to the appointment. On my way to the appointment, my engine began making a very loud knocking sound and would not accelerate properly. Finally, as I was pulling into the Hyundai dealership, my engine completely seized up, the oil and check engine light came on, and the car turned off while I was in the main road. I managed to coast it into the Hyundai parking lot. My Tucson is now at the Hyundai dealership after they had to tow it from the front of their parking lot and I am waiting on hearing back from them what is wrong. I am being told it could take one month before they can tell me anything, so I am without transportation for that long.

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
