So in December of 2022 the vehicle above was recalled for Service Campaign 966 by hyundai and was completed. In 2024 it had the same issues again and the knock sensor was replaced twice in 2024. We just purchased the vehicle in January 2025 and know are having the same issuse and code showing the knock sensor is having issues. We reported it to the dealer we purchased from long hyundai of chattanooga and they aren't helping to resolve the issue. All they did before we bought it was say it had a weak battery and supposedly replaced the battery.

I was using the access road to get on the highway but when I tried to accelerate the car was slow to accelerate and I almost got hit by other cars. I don-??t know what happened but now I have a steady check engine light. When I called a mechanic he said I have a TSB from 2021 for the Dual Clutch but I didn-??t see anything for this and my SaferCar app doesn-??t mentions it either.

My car hesitates when leaving a stop sign or light. It is random and I have no power to continue. If I put car in park than go sometimes it works, sometimes push down on gas more or sometimes I have to turn car off than back on. 2 near miss accidents

Under 40,000 took vehicle in to check because of hesitation when accelerating. They checked and could not duplicate issue so sent me on my way. Reached 70,000 and hesitation is worse. Getting and merging on highway, turning from stop, and feels like it-??s going to stall when going up inclines. No incident yet just notifying maybe something wrong with other peoples.

Rear driver side door suddenly will not open from outside or inside. A rear passenger would be essentially trapped in the car should an incident/accident happen. I googled and it seems this is a well known issue affecting several model years of Hyundai, including my 2017 model. I do not see a recall for this extremely dangerous issue.

I change the oil every 2000 miles and use what it states. Second oil change that noticed the oil drained out of the vehicle was close to nothing. First of all no warning indication oil was that low. It vibrates when it-??s still and when you accelerate it tugs. Took it to the dealership where purchased extended warranty. Temporary fix is combustion cleaning with re seat piston rings then a valve cleaning and pcv replacement. Permanent solution replace the engine which warranty won-??t cover since it-??s technically not broken. Charging me ridiculous amount money for temporary fix. What if the oil goes else where or doesn-??t notified low oil. It can catch on fire or all of sudden stops. I have my two babies with me in the car always it-??s our family car. Vehicle has been inspected by dealership not inspected by police insurance representatives or others. No indication no warning signs pop up of low oil. It-??s consuming too much oil which it-??s going to other places in the engine which can cause fire risk. I-??m trying to prevent the engine cause a fire or risk to myself or my family.

In June of 2023 at around 79,000 miles. I was driving on the highway and had a sudden loss in acceleration and would not go above 65 mph. During the inspection, the dealership ran the vehicle through 3 tests of oil consumption and it failed 2 out of 3 which did not result in a replacement of the oil pan system. My car continues to burn through oil at an increased rate (every 3000 miles). I know because the dip stick is completely dry when checking it. In July of 2024 at around 84,000 miles, while driving on the interstate, I experienced a loss in acceleration again. My Tucson would not accelerate over 65mph. I took it into the dealership and they found that my catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The replacement was estimated to cost around $5000. For each incident, there were no warning lamps that illuminated on the dash. The oil light did not come on nor did the engine light come on.

Constantly have to get oil changes. Initially when I would be due for another oil change, the mechanic mentions there is no oil. I started to come sooner than the due date and mileage and same issue. Oil is burning quickly. Car is stuttering and jerky on acceleration, but my car is not apart of that recall. The car headlights continues to change on it on and filters through the light settings on it-??s on at random times.

After owning my vehicle for 4 years, it has started burning oil. Burning about 2 quarts every 14 days. Was directed by dealership to perform oil consumption test every 1000 miles, which is all logged through the dealership and was sent on my way. The problem is now affecting my spark plugs and could packs. After all we're replaced/changed, when plugs are removed, they are covered in oil and are fried! Hyundai has not addressed the issue, but many consumers have this same problem.

Driver/ Front door latch does not open from the exterior. This is a problem on many Hyundai Tuscons from 2016-2021. Hyundai has not addressed the problem. This issue was recalled on their previous models - but not the current ones. This is a safety issue if there is an accident first responders have to break the glass to get to the passenger.

Campaign 209. Hyundai is refusing to provide assistance under recall campaign 209 for our VIN. Our vehicle has premature rod bearing failure causing engine failure. Rod knock noise. My wife drives the 2017 Hyundai Tucson. This year in June 2023 our vehicle check engine light came on for knock sensor. Soon after the vehicle started having acceleration issues, then the oil pressure warning light would come on and off. The vehicle oil level was checked, and we learned the vehicle oil level was low. The vehicle was through burning oil. The vehicle had burned through a quart of oil with no explanation. Our VIN # for our vehicle indicates there is an active recall Campaign #209 for Rod bearing issues with our specific model and VIN. Our specific vehicle and VIN when entered into Hyundai-??s website reflects active recall. We took the vehicle into Red Mccombs Hyundai Northwest to have our vehicle evaluated. Red Mccombs submitted a PA to Hyundai for engine replacement. They denied coverage stalling vehicle is no longer under warranty but made no mention of active recall. We got Hyundai Consumer Affairs involved and had same result with denial stalling vehicle is no longer under warranty. We then brought up recall #209 explaining we are having all the same issues they list on their website for this active recall. Dealer refused to look at rod bearings stalling we would have to pay for them to inspect rod bearings. Hyundai consumer affairs had us take it to another Hyundai service dept. for a second opinion. As Hyundai consumer affairs requested, we drove vehicle to principle Hyundai of boerne. While driving my vehicle from Red Mcccombs Hyundai Northwest to Principle Hyundai of Boerne it failed on the highway. The vehicle was making a loud knocking noise and would not accelerate past 50 mph. Check engine light was on again. We managed to bring the vehicle into Principle Hyundai of Boerne and they evaluated the vehicle. The service advisor immediately agreed to hearing the knocking noise. After evaluating the vehicle, the

Four days while driving on streets and freeways in Oklahoma City My 2017 Hyundai Tucson turned off and stalled. Lots of lights came on. Luckily I was able to get out of traffic without getting rear ended. I took the suv to local Hyundai dealer and they couldn-??t find the problem. The second time I took it to the dealer they replaced sensor crankshaft to clear lights that were coming on. Paid $209.27 for multi point inspection and paid $412.62 for second repair. I-??m frustrated because I was without transportation for 4 days. Dealerships did not offer a car for me to drive.

UNKNOWN While driving, the check engine light came on and the car started idling rough. When accelerating the car would shake tremendously, feeling like it would die right there in the middle of the road. When I stopped at where I was going, I checked the oil and there was no oil in the engine. I added oil but it did not help the situation. I made an appointment with the dealership in Waco, Texas and when I showed up they stated they no longer had room for me and to make another appointment. They also stated I didn-??t have a warranty as I am not the original owner even though I purchased the extended warranty and I have not passed the mileage or date. This is unacceptable as I do not feel safe driving my car and they did not honor the appointment I made.
