TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE, VIBRATE AND RATTLE. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE TO SHIFT GEARS AND SMOKE WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE EXHAUST.

I GOT MY 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON NEW, ON NOVEMBER 1,2019 AT 96K MILES, IT DIED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT! I HAD JUST EXITED THE 70 MPH HIGHWAY AND WAS ON THE SIDE STREET GOING 40 MPH. THIS ENGINE IS THE THETA 2 THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN MILLIONS OF OTHER VEHICLES FOR CATCHING ON FIRE AND/OR DYING. I HAD IT TOWED TO HYUNDAI AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND THAT IT WILL BE UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE HAVING METAL SHAVINGS ALL IN IT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER 2.5 MONTHS FOR MY CAR TO BE FIXED BECAUSE ALL OF THE PARTS THAT THEY NEED ARE BACK ORDERED. THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATED TIME OF COMPLETION FOR ME. I AM STUCK PAYING MY CAR PAYMENT ON THE CAR THAT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE.

AS I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I HEAR A STRANGE SOUND FROM THE ENGINE. I LOOK AT THE DASH BUT WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON. I START MAKING MAY WAY TO THE RIGHT LANE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, BUT THE CAR STARTS TO SLOW. I LOOK AT THE DASH AGAIN AND THE LOW OIL LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ARE ON. I MAKE MY WAY TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STARTS RUNNING. SHORTLY AFTER, A TOW TRUCK TAKES THE CAR TO A NEARBY MECHANIC SHOP. THE NEXT DAY, THE MECHANIC TELLS THE HYUNDAI TUCSON THREW A ROD AND THE ENGINE IS DESTROYED. THE MECHANIC SAYS HE HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE. I'VE FOUND SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IT IS UNFAIR TO CONSUMERS. THE 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON HAS ONLY 85,602 MILES ON IT.

WHILE TRAVELING 67 MPH ON AN INTERSTATE, VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND ENGINE LOCKED UP. IT IS A 2014 WITH ONLY 81,000 MILES ON IT?

WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. NO SAFETY LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE STARTED SHAKING AND CAR STOPPED. WAS TOWED AND AT FIRST TOLD THERE WAS NO OIL IN THE ENGINE, BUT UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OIL. IT WAS AN 'ENGINE MALFUNCTION '

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SHOOK AND FAILED WILL DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THEY HAD SEEN THE FAILURE BEFORE WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLES. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RIVERHEAD HYUNDAI (1800 OLD COUNTRY RD, RIVERHEAD, NY 11901, (631) 369-0600) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE RESULTS WERE PENDING. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

MY SON WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WITH HIS 2014 HYUNDAI TUSCON AND HIS CAR STALLED. WE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER AND THEY SAID THE ENGINE THREW A ROD. THEY HAVE SAID IT NEEDS A COMPLETE ENGINE. WHEN I HAVE CONDUCTED OTHER RESEARCH ON THIS TYPE OF CAR I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS EXAMPLES OF THE SAME SITUATION HAPPENING.

BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. CAR IS A 2014 AND ON IT'S 3RD BATTERY WITH THE LAST BATTERY ONLY LASTING 18 MONTHS.

I PURCHASED THIS 2014 HYUNDAI TUCSON AS A SECOND OWNER FROM A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR MY DAUGHTER IN JANUARY OF 2018 WITH 70,223 MILES. CAR HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND SERVICED BY THE DEALERSHIP HYUNDAI TECHNICIANS. ON 9/13/2019 WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING LOUD BANGING NOISES FROM THE ENGINE AND EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY SHIFTING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD IT HAD EXPERIENCED "TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE" DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE AND IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED-MY DAUGHTER HAD ONLY PUT 23 THOUSAND MILES ON IT-THE ENGINE FAILED AT 93000 MILES.. THE REPLACEMENT COULD TAKE UP TO 2 MONTHS-MOST LIKELY DUE TO NUMEROUS TUCSON ENGINE FAILURES . THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE-JUST CHECK OTHER SITES ON THE INTERNET.THERE IS A RECALL WITH THE SAME ENGINE FOR SONATAS, SANTA FE, AND KIA MODELS BUT NOT TUCSON
