2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE RPM'S REVVED UP HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PERFORM AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE 90,200.

THE VEHICLE LOSSES POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. IT WILL ALSO NOT SHIFT IN GEAR WHEN SUPPOSE TO. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND SERVICED. OUT OF NOWHERE ALL OF THIS HAPPENED WHEN TRAVELING HOME FROM A TRIP. THE VEHICLE COULD NOT EVEN MAKE IT UP A HILL BECAUSE THE POWER WAS COMPLETELY LOST.

DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH DURING 5:15 RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. THERE WAS NO COMBUSTION, BUT THE BATTERY WAS STILL WORKING. WHEN I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE ENGINE HAD LOST COMPRESSION AND COMBUSTION AND NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE CAR STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY DURING RUSH HOUR COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON, THE OIL BURNS REALLY FAST. I HAVE TO GET AN OIL CHANGE EVERY MONTH OR THE CAR WILL START MAKING A LOUD NOISE. I ONLY HAVE 69000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP AT THIS POINT DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO

ACCORDING TO AN ATTORNEY MU ENGINE IS A NU ENGINE. AS FAR AS I KNOW NO RECALLS OR LAWSUITS ARE PENDING. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE, LOST ALL POWER TO A VERY SLOW CREEP, MAKING A VERY STRANGE SOUND IN ENGINE, FRIED STARTER AND NOW WON'T WORK AT ALL. EVERYTHING PEOPLE SAY THE THETA II ENGINE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN WE ARE EXPERIENCING WITH THIS CAR...BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. WE HAVE NOTICED EXTRA OIL CONSUMPTION BUT FIGURED DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE. WE HAD A MECHANIC COME OUT AND HE SAID THE THINKS THE ENGINE IS FRIED OR THERE IS SERIOUS PROBLEMS. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. THIS ALL DURING COVID, MY HUSBAND IS HIGH RISK WE HAD TO GO BUY ANOTHER CAR AS WE DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX. I NOW HAVE 2 HEFTY CAR PAYMENTS WITH 1 VEHICLE WORKING. I NEED HELP TO KNOW IF THIS ENGINE DISPLAYING ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS WILL TOO BE RECALLED .

MY CAR IS CONSUMING OIL - APPROXIMATELY 1 QUART PER EVERY 300 - 500 MILES. A REPAIR SHOP SAID THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. I HAVE PAID OVER $500 SO FAR (REPLACED GUAGES, SPARK PLUGS, AND MORE) - I HAVE COMPLETED THREE OIL CONSUMPTION REPORTS (THE DEALERSHIP IS CHECKING THE OIL)- AND THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT CARS AND ENGINES, BUT FEEL I AM GETTING CHEATED. ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED.

COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE AT ONLY 47,000 MILES! WHILE DRIVING MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I CAN TELL I WAS LOOSING POWER, I HEARD A "KNOCKING" SOUND SO I PULLED OVER AND ALL OF MY LIGHTS COME ON MY DASH AND THE CAR IS DEAD! SO GLAD I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY! I HAD IT TOWED AND THE MECHANIC AND HA HAS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS A COMPLETE ENGINE FAILURE - I NEED A NEW ENGINE. CALLED THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID I'M OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YEARS / 60,000 MILES). I WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED IF THIS HAPPENED A MONTH EARLIER. LOOKS LIKE I GOT TO PUSH THIS UP HILL. I'LL NEVER BUY HYUNDAI AGAIN AND I SWEAR TO TELL THIS STORY TO THE END OF MY DAYS!

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE WHEN I STARTED TO LEAVE FOR WORK WHEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. I RESTARTED THE CAR, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, WHICH WAS NOT PREVIOUSLY ON, NOW WAS, AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT INDICATOR WAS ON AS WELL. SINCE THIS TIME, MY SHIFTER CABLE HAS BROKEN, AND THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH HAS MALFUNCTIONED. TO TRY AND REMEDY THIS, I HAVE PURCHASED AND REPLACED MY IGNITION COILS, SPARK PLUGS, BRAKE LIGHTS, SHIFTER CABLE, CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, THE MASTER POWER WINDOW SWITCH, AND FUSE PLUGS. AND THIS STILL HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUES OCCURRING WITH THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE SUDDENLY FAILED. STARTING ALL WITH A RATTLING SOUND ONE NIGHT WHILE DRIVING. THR NEXT DAY, DROPPED MY CHILD OFF AND CAR JUST CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IN MY APARTMENT LOT. THE CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE GAS WHEN IT JUST SHUT OFF.

ENGINE KNOCK .. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND DIAGNOSE THAT NUMBER 1 PISTON STARVING FOR OIL AND ENGINE NEEDS TO TO REPLACED AND THE EXTREME DAMAGED COULD OF CAUSED A FIRE AND KILLED ME AND MY FAMILY IF I DIDN'T SHUT OFF WHEN I DID
