2015 Hyundai Tucson

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS OIL FILTER HAS BLOWN OUT LEAVING ME WITH NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. MOST RECENTLY, IT HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PASSING ANOTHER VEHICLE AT APROX. 37 MPH ON A STATE ROAD. I AM UNCERTAIN THE CAUSE OF THE INCIDENT WHERE I LOST ALL OF THE ENGINE OIL BUT I WOULD HAZARD TO GUESS THE SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS OIL PRESSURE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THE PRESSURE GET SO HIGH FOR THE INCREASED RPM NEEDS IT BLOWES OUT THE WEAKEST POINT.

IN AROUND AUGUST 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 HYUNDAI TUCSON GLS BACK FROM WORK ON A HIGH WAY. THAT ALL (FOR NO REASON) THE INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP, THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND COME TO A HALT. I TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN DONE SINCE THE PURCHASE DATE. IT WAS CHECKED AND REPORTED AS A DAMAGE TO THE OIL PAN. BUT, THEY SAID IT HAS HIT A STATIONARY OBJECT (THIS WAS A LIE) BUT THERE WAS NO STATIONARY OBJECT ON THE HIGHWAY AS MANY VEHICLE WERE GOING BY. I WAS ON THE LEFT SHOULDER OF THE FAST LANE. BECAUSE I DID NOT AGREE WITH THE DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE, I KNEW AN OBJECT HAS BROKEN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE ENGINE AND STRIKE IT WAY OUT OF THE OIL PAN. MILEAGE DURING THE INCIDENT WAS AT 73,437. I THINK THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALL FOR THIS MANY REPORTED OBJECT DAMAGING THE OIL PAN. MY INSURANCE HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW REPLACE ENGINE BUT TO END UP WITH A USED ENGINE CHARGE $4500. A PICTURE (DOCUMENT) UPLOADED WILL SHOW EXIT DAMAGE FROM THE BROKEN METAL FROM INSIDE THE ENGINE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE A LACK OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING WAS NOTED. HIGHEST CAR WOULD TRAVEL WAS AROUND 60 MPH. ENGINE WAS REVVING BUT NO SPEED COULD BE GAINED. HAVE REPEATEDLY HAD THIS ISSUE WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.TOOK IT TO DEALER THEY SAID VEHICLE IS FINE AND THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON VEHICLE. CALLED HYUNDAI TO COMPLAIN AND VOICED THAT MANY OTHER HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE. THEY STATED VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY ARE WILLING TO DO AND THAT THE VEHICLE ISN'T CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL.

I HAVE A HYUNDAI TUCSON THAT HAS A RECALL NOTICE. I LIVE IN JUNEAU ALASKA WHERE THERE ARE NO HYUNDAI DEALERS. I CONTACTED HYUNDAI AND SPOKE WITH SOME VERY NICE PEOPLE WHO COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE OF A CASEMANAGER NAMED GRETCHEN. GRETCHEN WANTED ME TO HAVE THE VEHICLE SHIPPED TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER. THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE JUNEAU HAS NO ROAD NETWORK AND BARGE COSTS WOULD BE ABOUT FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. I SPOKE WITH GRETCHEN ABOUT THE DILEMMA. SHE WAS RUDE AND DEMANDED I FIND A WAY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE NEAREST HYUNDAI DEALER. I EXPLAINED THIS IS NOT WHAT I WAS TOLD WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR. I ASKED GRETCHEN FOR HER SUPERVISORS CONTACT INFORMATION. SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS OVER ALL ALASKA AND HAD NO SUPERVISION. I CALLED THE HYUNDAI CUSTOMER CARE CENTER AND SPOKE WITH TABITHA WHO COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE OF GRETCHEN AND GRETCHEN WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD GIVE HER SUPERVISORS NUMBER. AT THIS POINT I HAVE A RECALLED VEHICLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO SERVICE. CAN ANYONE HELP?

ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT KUMHO TIRE R REAR EXPLODED ON THE HIGHWAY, DESTROYING THE WHEEL WELL, BUMPER, AND SIDE PANELS, AND ALMOST CAUSE MAJOR ACCIDENT. AFTER HAVING TO GET THE STATE PATROL TO STOP TRAFFIC ON ALL THREE LANES WE DROVE CAR ON THE RIM TO THE OPPOSITE OF THE HIGHWAY WHERE THERE WAS A MEDIAN STRIP. WHEN WE WENT TO REPLACE THIS TIRE, WITH GOOD TREAD AFTER SOME 56,000 MILES WE LEARNED THAT ANOTHER TIRE, THE L FRONT, ALSO HAD DELAMINATED AND SEPARATED, AND THAT THERE WERE TWO LARGE BALD SPOTS WHERE THE TIRE WAS FAILING ALSO. HAD THIS FRONT TIRE EXPLODED THIS WOULD ALMOST CERTAINLY HAVE CAUSED A ROLLOVER AND PROBABLY KILLED OR SEVERELY INJURED MY DAUGHTER, THE DRIVER. I STILL HAVE THESE TIRES, WITH A FAILURE RATE OF AT LEAST 50%. KUMHO HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL THESE DANGEROUS TIRES, NOR HAS HYUNDAI. *JS

I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A LEASE RETURN AT 36K MILES. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR ALL THE RECOMMENDED SERVICES AND ALSO THE OIL CHANGES AT THE RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. NEVER HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AT ALL TILL NOW. AT JUST OVER 70K MILES I WAS DRIVING AT 75MPH AND THE ENGINE LURCHED AND THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE FASTEST I COULD GO WAS 60MPH. THE ENGINE HAD A WICKED KNOCKING SOUND. FORTUNATELY I WAS NEAR A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP SO I TOOK IT THERE. THEY SAID IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. THANKFULLY I HAVE THE CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE & POWERTRAIN UP TO 100K, SO HYUNDAI IS EATING THE COST. BUT IT IS STILL WILDLY CONCERNING TO ME! I'LL FOR SURE BE SELLING THIS CAR BEFORE IT HITS THE 100K WARRANTY.
