Motor knocking with only 65,000 miles. Not getting power

- Middle River, MD, USA

This is my 2nd issue with this vehicle. Ever since I bought the vehicle I have always noticed that when I come to a complete stop (at a red light or stop sign) and I go to press on the gas the car doesn't go. It's like it hesitated before it starts to pick up speed. I always chalked it up to the fact that it was a 4 cylinder but after speaking to my mechanic I find out that this is not normal and can be the sign of a serious problem. There is currently no fix for this.

I get oil changes quite frequently due to the mileage I put in a vehicle. I have 7 oil changes/tire rotations between November 2018 and November 2019. On November 13th 2019 my check engine like came on and at the same time my engine started making a knocking sound. Prior to this I had no indicators that anything was wrong. I immediately took it to the dealership and was informed that I need a new engine and that it's not covered under the warranty since I am the second owner. And that it's going to cost about $10,000 for a new engine which includes labor. Did I miss something here. My car is my livelihood and I have gotten every required maintenance. They said my car is burning through oil at a high rate of speed. There were zero signs of an oil leak and everything looked find other than the vehicle had no oil. Why didn't my vehicle alert me of this. Why wasn't there any indication until it was too late. Where the hell did all the oil go?? now I'm stuck with a high car payment for a vehicle I can not even drive plus because I need my car for my work I had to be let go from my job. Can't work without a vehicle can pay for $10,000 in repairs without a job and can't pay my car payment without working. I don't know what to do. This is just ridiculous especially since I have done everything Hyundai suggests as far as maintence (frequent oil changes and systems checks on a regular basis. Hyundai says 'sorry there's nothing we can do for you, you have to pay to replace the engine.'.

Same dual clutch problem as on 2016 Hyundai Tucson. Hesitates for several seconds prior to engaging which causes significant danger in oncoming traffic. I had this same problem with the 2016 and Hyundai continued to deny any known problems. Now there is a class action lawsuit regarding this issue. I traded my 2016 in for the 2018 to get away from the problem because I was so scared. Now I have the same problem with the new car. This problem is ongoing. Also I was coasting with foot not on the pedal and not in cruise control and the RPM's shot up to 4200 then down to normal, then back up to 2200 and then back to normal. Very scary. Had clutch engaged car would have shot forward into car in front of me. Dealer has acknowledged trouble with both problems and informed me that Hyundai has switched clutch manufacturers.

The car started making a loud noise my oil lamp light started flashing, after I stopped at a red light I accelerated then my alternator light came on the car died. Within seconds my car started smoking a white color lightly and then within minutes the smoke turned black and heavy then car caught on fire.

My car has 20,000 miles on it. 2 months ago around 18,000 miles my car started to hesitate during acceleration. It started as only sometimes. Now it happens every time I drive it. When it is stopped and I push on the gas to go it hesitates. The rpms shoot up to 5-6 then it goes. This is dangerous especially if you are crossing several lanes of traffic. Also when in motion and you need to accelerate it will hesitate as well. I brought it to the dealership as it's under warrant and was told it's the dct and many people have complained. And it's normal. I disagree because if it was normal then it would have done this when I first purchased the car.

Hyundai 2018 had a oil leak issue due to a faulty oil pan. The oil pan was sealed by the dealership. This did not seem to fix the issue causing the oil to drain on the freeway and seize the engine. I was coasting on the freeway with no power from the engine. We were scared for our dear lives.

At times, while driving with the transmission in drive, the vehicle hesitates to accelerate after being stopped, as at a red traffic signal. When this happens, pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor will start the vehicle moving forward 'very' slowly for about 3 seconds, then it will take off with full power until accelerator pedal is let off. When this hesitation occurs, the engine does not sound or feel like it is straining, or misfiring at all, it seems more like the computer is not sending the engine the signal to rev up and go, hence having to floor it to get it to move. This condition is extremely dangerous, to the point I avoid having to make left turns at traffic light intersections, because I never know when the vehicle is going to exhibit this behavior, but this can happen whether going straight, or making a right-hand turn. This vehicle only has 1,253 miles at present, but this condition has been happening since it was driven off the lot new.

After acquiring a little over a month (1167 miles on it) this car failed while I was driving on a major highway and had to navigate over 4 lanes from just momentum - could not use my cellphone as it was trying to sync to the car which was now completely dead. Towed to purchasing dealer and was diagnosed as bad ground wire. I am terrified to drive this car again, my passenger and I could have been injured or worse.

The vehicle shut off while driving on the highway and would not start back up.

Delayed acceleration from stop. Very unsafe when making a left hand turn as it will take up to 10 seconds for the car to accelerate. This happens often but not always. I do not feel safe driving this car.
