2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY , GOING ABOUT 70 MILES AN HOUR. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE FROM THE ENGINE ALL MY DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND IT DIED. I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE AND MY CAR JUST DIED IT RESTARTED WITH A KNOCKING IN MY ENGINE AND KEPT DYEING. I HAD A 3YR OLD IN THE CAR SEAT AND WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE AND PUSH IT OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 64000 MILES ON IT AND HAD GOOD CLEAN OIL. I CHECKED BEFORE MY 4 HOUR TRIP .I WAS STRANDED 2 HOURS FROM HOME.THE COMPANY REFUSES TO HONOR THE 100000 MILE WARRENTY BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. I STILL OWE 14000 DOLLARS ON THIS VEHICLE.

THE CAR WILL RANDOMLY ACCELERATE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT IS RANDOM AND DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERY TIME. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN SLOWING DOWN GOING DOWN HILLS OR WHEN STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN. WHEN IT HAPPENS MY FOOT IS ALWAYS ON THE BREAK, EITHER SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING, AND THE VEHICLE IS IN GEAR. THE RPM'S WILL JUMP FROM IDLE TO 3000. THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET IT TO STOP IS BY LETTING OFF THE BREAK AND PRESSING DOWN ON THE BREAK AGAIN, THIS SOMETIMES TAKES A COUPLE TIMES TO GET IT TO STOP. THANKFULLY I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IT IS VERY SCARY. I BROUGHT IT TO A DEALERSHIP BUT THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM STARTED LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO AND HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES.

DRIVING 60 MPH DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER COMPLETELY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT HAD TO BE TOWED FROM THE SHOULDER AND THE MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE WAS CRACKED DESPITE IT'S LOW MILEAGE AND NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE BREAKDOWN, IT ALSO WASN'T DUE FOR AN OIL CHANGE FOR A FEW WEEKS YET. THE DAY IT BROKE DOWN WAS POURING RAIN SO I WAS UNABLE TO SEE ANY POSSIBLE OIL OR OTHER LIQUID LEAKING OUT DUE TO THE WEATHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY STALLED CAUSING THE DRIVERS HEAD TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. DURING THE INCIDENT THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER GARVEY HYUNDAI LOCATED AT 257 DIX AVE #1, QUEENSBURY, NY 12804 WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. *DT*DT*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESS WAY AT AROUND 60MPH WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE CAR THE CAR SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 40MPH AND THE ENDING STARTED TO CLICK. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS BEHIND US AND WE WERE ABLE TO EXIT THE FREEWAY SAFELY. THIS IS APPARENTLY A KNOWN ISSUE THAT I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF.

I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK FRIDAY NIGHT AND WAS ALMOST HOME AND LOST POWER . IT SPUTTERED AND WHEN I PULLED INTO PARKING LOT IT STARTED TO KNOCK. I TURNED OFF ENGINE.CHECKED THE NEXT DAY AND I HAD NO OIL AND NEVER GOT ANY WARNING SIGNS ON THE DASH THE DRIVE WAS AN EXPRESSWAY RIDE 65 MPH. I JUST CHECKED THE OIL 1 WEEK BEFORE THIS HAPPEN NOT REALLY HAPPY WITH WHAT HAPPENED AND IT SEEMS LIKE THIS COMPLAINT HAPPENS ALOT AND I HOPE THINGS TURN OUT GOOD

ELECTRIC WINDOWS IN THE CAR ARE A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH FRONT AND BACK OF THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW SWITCHES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ALLOW THE WINDOW TO GO UP OR DOWN. I TOOK IT IN FOR ONE WINDOW THAT WOULD NOT GO UP AND DOWN AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER THE SECOND WINDOW WENT. I AM KNOWING THAT IN THE FUTURE I WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE OTHER TWO AS WELL. THIS CAN CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE OCCUPANTS NEED TO OPEN WINDOWS TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL TO FIX WHAT EVER ELECTRICAL ISSUE THERE MIGHT BE WITH THE WINDOWS. I JUST CAN'T FATHOM THAT TWO WINDOWS WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER.

ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE AS MY DAUGHTER LEFT HIGHWAY FOR HER EXIT . WHEN HYUNDAI ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE ENGINE, DISCOVERED 4WD TRANSFER CASE SEIZED INTO TRANSMISSION PREVENTING REMOVAL OF ENGINE, REPLACED ENGINE ,TRANSMISSION, AND TRANSFER CASE. THIS IS THE SAME ENGINE IN THE SANTA FE , AND SONATA WHICH WAS RECALLED. HYUNDAI IS STILL REFUSING TO EXTEND THE RECALL TO THE TUCSON TOO. SO OWNERS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THE EXTENSION ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. DUE TO THEM NOT WANTING ANYBODY TO KNOW ABOUT THIS DEFECT IN THE MOTORS THAT THE TUCSON SHARE WITH THEIR OTHER MODELS. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD OF STEPPED UP AND MADE HYUNDAI HONOR THE EXTENSION TO INCLUDE THE TUCSON MODEL TOO. FOR ALL TUCSON OWNERS ARE LEFT IN THE COLD WITH A VEHICLE WORTH [XXX] SINCE THEY ARE STILL HAVING MORE PROBLEMS WITH THIS 2.4L MOTOR. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY FIANC WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR STARTS TO STALL. IT PUT HIM IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS HE HAS JUST CROSSED OVER A BRIDGE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A CAR ACCIDENT. AFTER THIS HAPPENED THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THE ENGINE STARTS MAKING KNOCKING NOISE. WE HAVE KEPT UP WITH OIL CHANGES AND MAINTENANCE, SO WHY THIS HAPPENED IS JUST UNEXPLAINABLE TO US. ALSO OUR CAR ONLY HAS 65,893 MILES ON IT. SO JUST HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? SO WE BROUGHT IT TO MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE, SOMETHING YOU DEFINITELY NEVER WANT TO HEAR.

MY CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I WAS GETTING GAS AND WHEN I STARTED THE CAR I COULD NOT MOVE IT OUT OF PARK. I CHECKED THE MANUAL AND FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS TO PRESS THE SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM AND THEN IT MOVES OUT OF PARK. IF I PUT IT BACK IN PARK IT LOCKS AGAIN. IT WAS RUNNING FINE NO ISSUES PRIOR. I KNOW THERE WERE RECALLS FOR MY CAR SO AM WORRIED THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF AND CHILDREN.
