Within 24 hours of hearing knocking and ticking in my engine (with no codes or signals showing any issues) the engine failed. The noise could be heard continuously at any speed for 24 hours. Once the engine failed while I was trying to drive it to the dealership, the service engine light and oil light came on. I've had the vehicle for 4 years and it's at 103,000 miles with constant oil changes and no other issues with the tuscon. In fact, it has brand new oil in there now. There is a recall of the same issue with the sonata, santa fe, and other Kia vehicles but none for the tuscon. Tuscon needs to be incorporated into this recall and covered by Hyundai. Hyundai is investigating the engine and oil pan area now. Results are pending.

Just like everyone else on here.... Engine started making a rattling noise and got significantly louder. Car locked up while driving. Brought to mechanic and engine is blown. Same problem as the Hyundai lawsuit. But because there is no recall on this model (even though it has the same engine) it isnt covered

12/03/2024 ODI #11628646.0

A recall caused my engine to fail, and needs replacing. it is i believe “campaign 966” They are claiming that i needed to have the system software updated PRIOR to the engine failing. they know that their recall is responsible for the engine failing, but they are trying to go around it by saying that it needed to be fixed before the engine gave out. They NEVER, not one time, reached out about this needing to be fixed. not by email, or regular mail. Nothing. i’m reading everywhere that they do this shady stuff constantly to people, and it is just not right. Thank you

12/07/2020 ODI #11378234.0

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.

Note: there are two sunroofs on this vehicle; one forward, over the two front seats, and the other over the back seat. While driving on the freeway, the forward sunroof exploded - glass flying everywhere - there was nothing left. I can't believe my head and face were not cut and bleeding. The possibility of rocks being thrown from someone on the side of the road is nil: no one was there. Nearby vehicles were not far enough away to allow the necessary trajectory for a rock sent airborne from their vehicles' tires to land on the roof of my vehicle. I have no explanation or reason as to how or why this happened. Now I'm out $500.00 for my deductible, for something that I can't explain. *js

Vehicle has less than 9k miles; purchased new in february 2014. Thirteen (13) months after owning, all the warning lights on the dashboards came on and off randomly and then were on permanently (city driving); also power steering was gone. Brought vehicle to the dealer with no vehicle for 4 days. Picked vehicle up, drove home and three (3) days later (city driving), all lights back on. Brought vehicle to dealer; given loaner car for 9 days. Picked vehicle up, drove home (45 minutes on highway), two (2) days after city driving, called dealer to tell them that the problem was back again. Car has now been in shop for 12 days; dealer unable to find root cause. Not sure when I will get the vehicle back. Personally, I don't want it anymore; every trip to the dealer for me is a 45 minute

Addendum to complaint #10806179: dashboard warning lights that keep coming on and off and permanently staying on are the parking brake, ABS service indicator, 4wd system warning light, low tire pressure telltale. All of these warning lights tell you to bring to your dealer as soon as possible as severe injury or death could occur. I really think this is a safety issue that should be looked into. Thank you. Not sure where else to go with this; have sent Hyundai usa an email as well. *tr
