This is the 2nd time I have had a sensor indicator. The first was a knock sensor where my car barely made it across the road. Now another code for intake issues. If my car dies and I get hit Hyundai is liable. I know many people that have issues with their Hyundai dying and are without their cars waiting for repairs for. months and months, but the fact that I have a grandson and my car could die is incomprehensible. These cars need to be pulled off the market.
The car has acceleration issues and when you try to press down on the gas it sputters and loses power, it is becoming a safety hazard when driving 45 mph or higher. If you try to pass another vehicle it slows down and almost stops, we have had to pull to the side of the road to avoid being in an accident. This is NOT normal for a vehicle to do this and something needs to be done before we end up dead.
The oil fuel tank has been burning oil too fast in the GDI Engine & the oil has burnt through my alternator and spark plugs that I recently fixed only three weeks ago. This caused the engine to lock up completely while I was driving several times & I lost control while driving - having to restart the car multiple times to move it to a safe area. Now, the engine has locked permanently and I am unable to start the car at all despite replacing several parts and getting an oil change every 3-5000 miles (which continues to leak too quickly and harm other parts in the car).
After starting my car there is a strong smell of gasoline, at different times, but not consistently. The smell of gas is very strong in the cabin area even while driving. Sometimes, once the vehicle has been started there is a strong smell of fuel coming from the exhaust pipe area. I have reported this to the dealership, was told nothing was found, per camelback Hyundai dealership in phoenix Arizona (12/29/20).

So I purchased my car March of 2019. It first started off really good but than a few months later the car has been having a issue with keeping oil I had it checked numerous times and no one seems to find the issue. I could literally get oil changed and within three four weeks my engine is empty and sound really rough. The car stalls and my RPM goes up out of the blue as if I hit the gas. I'm even having a issue with take off for it to be a brand new car my car take forever to pick up speed and some times it act as if it don't want to move.
As stated in many forums by many owners, in my case the 2.0 with automatic. I have a 2014 Kia soul and the 2018 tuscon. Both vehicles act the same, hesitate when they want to. Both have done this since brand new and neither dealership has made an effort to fix the problem. There has been several very close calls hesitating like this in heavy city traffic.also be on the lookout for a lawsuit settlement on 2018 Tucson.
This is my 2nd issue with this vehicle. Ever since I bought the vehicle I have always noticed that when I come to a complete stop (at a red light or stop sign) and I go to press on the gas the car doesn't go. It's like it hesitated before it starts to pick up speed. I always chalked it up to the fact that it was a 4 cylinder but after speaking to my mechanic I find out that this is not normal and can be the sign of a serious problem. There is currently no fix for this.
Around 1500, iles the car started to either stall completely or "jump" forward in al drivemodes, took to dealership, they said it has to do with transmission being essentially a standard. They told us they reset the computer and it needs this occasionally. Really never heard of that. Our gasmileage is also constanlty going down. Not happy with the constant sudden accelertion especially when merging onto interstates. Bought this thing brand new Feb 2018.
