In June of 2023, my check engine light came on and my vehicle lost the ability to accelerate. I took it into the local Hyundai dealership who said it would take 3 months to look at and that this wasn-??t a major issue. The car would not accelerate past 45 mph and could barely go up an incline. The dealership never even ran a diagnostic. I checked my oil dip stick and there was barely any oil on it. My vehicle isn-??t due for an oil change until September. A local oil change business said I barely had one quart in the engine. They ran the codes and they came up as a P000B and a P1326. Dealership still hasn-??t returned my call.
At approximately 69000 miles my engine stalled as I was pulling onto a highway and would not accelerate beyond a low mph. I turned back into gas station I had left and checked the oil. It did not register any oil and had a burning smell. There were never any dash lights indicating low oil. I put almost 2 quarts in vehicle. I then proceeded to drive as it seemed okay. I have had oil changes where the technicians have told me I was low on oil even though it was a normal time frame for oil change. I recently checked my oil just right as my oil change is due and the oil level did not register, nor were there any low oil indicators on dash. I had to add a quart of oil. This poses a hazard/safety problem. If not checked more often than normal, oil could go low and stall again. If pulling into a busy traffic area and a stall occurs, there could be an accident etc not to mention damage to the motor/engine itself. I have to frequently check the oil levels which should not have to happen for a vehicle with 70k+ miles.
Replaced catalytic converter been to the shop twice. It keeps having reoccurring issue of not wanting to accelerate, won-??t go over 54, wont go over 2000 rpm, stalls and misfires. My neighbor has same model and year and just had to replace catalytic converter as well.
My car is burning oil at an abnormal fast rate. I have taken it in to the dealership and they couldn't find the reason for the abnormal increase in oil burning rate. They couldn't find any leaking of oil. I am constantly putting in oil before the 3000 or 3 month oil change is due. If I don't the check engine light comes on and my oil is low. I haven't ran it out of oil but this worries me. Due to persistence from me the dealership replaced the oil sensor but that didn't change anything in regards to the amount of oil this car uses. This started in 2021. My warranty has since expired and I haven't been able to afford taking the car back and fourth to the dealership. I have had it looked at several times without a resolution. We ended up purchasing an extended warranty but that doesn't cover this apparently so we have wasted our money with that and still the problem isn't resolved.
I-??m traveling for work and I have only had to car 11 months. I have 52,000 miles on it and today tracking home my car engine light came on and my car wouldn-??t shift through the hills in Missouri. It got so bad after 1 mile of the engine light flashing at me that I had to stop in a construction highway with one lane and stop all traffic to let my car cool down for almost 15 minutes and I started it up and it would not go over 10 miles a hour. With my flashers on I got off the next exit and ran a diagnostic at O-??riley-??s in St. James Missouri. My codes are reading CAMSHAFT IGNITION CONTROL (P000B) and IGNITION CONTROL MODULE COMBUSTION QUALITY INPUT SIGNAL (P1326)

My engine is abnormally burning oil with no leaks. Hyundai dealership technicians have verified no leaks. Every 800-1000 miles driven, my oil is down to less than half, and I have to get an oil change. I've now gotten 4 oil changes in 4500 miles.
We have been told by our local Hyundai dealership that the car is burning oil and is unsafe to drive. The dealership recommended a full engine replacement and put in the request to Hyundai HQ who denied the request. The dealership then told us that we need to drive the car for at least 4,000 miles and bring the car in for 24hr - 48hr testing every 1,000 miles. This is our primary family car and we have been told by our own mechanic and the dealership service center that the car is not safe to drive and could be a fire risk. Yet, Hyundai HQ is insisting that we do this oil consumption test and risk our lives and the lives of our children.

Engine lost power. The vehicle was brought in 3 times since 10/22 to Atlantic Hyundai in. The last time was 3/23. The motor was finally evaluated and results sent to Hyundai Corporate Headquarters and the told Atlantic to replace the motor. Service manager Tim Turnbull refused to do so and stated he was putting in a chip in, for us to drive it for 30 days and bring it back in for evaluation. The motor is unsafe.
Vehicle engine light has been on for months, it would come and go. I-??ve taken it to Hyundai but they kept saying nothing comes up and maybe it was the gas cap needing to be changed. My car also burns oil TOO fast and the dealership has expressed concern. I-??ve also been getting a front collision camera disabled message on the dashboard for the last two days. On 3/23/23, my Tucson not only start making a loud noise but the engine light is blinking and barely drives. I almost didn-??t make it home safely or at all
While driving to work on Thursday, February 23 2023, the car suddenly turned off flashing the check engine light and oil light. I was driving on the palisades interstate parkway in New York and had enough momentum with the car to get off on the next exit. Once the car was safely off of the road, I opened the hood and pulled the dipstick because the oil light was flashing and it was smoking. The oil light never came on before with the car. The car also had the recall for the knock sensor replacement to avoid this engine failure. I called Hyundai and the salesperson directed me to have the car towed to the dealership at my expense. Once at the dealer ship, the service advisor explained that they have had several cars come in with the same issue and that they would get back to me. A couple days later, they explained that the engine had burned all the oil and that Hyundai would replace it. The issue here is that that was my only car. I have a job and a son while other duties to fulfill. I was explained that it would take a while to get a motor since they-??ve had cars sitting with the same issue since December and that they also had a wait of double digits people for the next loaner. I did not get an eta of when I would have my car back or when I can get a loaner. They also will not cover rental fees for a rental car. I have been paying for cabs and other forms of transport and still have no estimation of when I will get my car back.
2019 Hyundai Tuscon experienced engine failure at 66k miles. This vehicle experienced the exact same issues of vehicles Hyundai previously recalled. It is equipped with knock sensor which was supposed to be a "fix" for the known engine issues. A sensor displaying on dash at the same time the engine starts loudly knocking does not make the vehicle safe. The engine still has the potential to fail and catch fire. Hyundai needs to fix all these engine issues. The Hyundai corporate consumer affairs office nor the dealership will return calls or emails about our vehicle.
Check engine light has come on twice AFTER the car was at dealers for the recall about the knock sensor. Dealer states the recall fix was implemented, however the light came on a day or two after the vehicle was in the shop. I believe they installed a new knock sensor but I-??m not sure, check engine light was off when I picked it up. It-??s been approximately 5 weeks since I-??ve gotten it back and the check engine light came on again. Friend had a scanner tool and used it - code indicated it was the knock sensor again. Went to dealer and was told there was nothing they could do because the code was cleared. This is a huge safety issue as I drive CA freeways with cars doing 75 mph- it will run for a limited time but it won-??t let you accelerate and will get you to the dealer but you must get it to dealer in a very short window- it-??s an engine problem and could put me in extreme danger -?"?
At approximately 55,000 miles, the check engine light illuminated. Code P0420 "Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 1)". When inspected, the car had consumed about 1 quart of oil after driving at highway speeds for approximately 3000 miles.

I was merging onto a highway at high speeds when the car stuttered. The check engine light began to flash and I lost acceleration. I could push the gas pedal to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. The car lost it's speed and I could not go anymore than 30mph, and it would not go higher than 2rpms. It put me and my baby (who was in the backseat) in danger as we were going fast on a highway and out of nowhere the car lost speed and I could not accelerate. I could've easily been hit by another driver going the regular speed limit. I drove it to the dealership that just happened to be down the street, and the car struggled to accelerate from a complete stop, as well as in general. From a complete stop, the car would sputter and jerk when pressing on the gas pedal. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty Knock Sensor. They said they would replace the sensor as it was still under warrenty. When I left the dealership, the check engine light was off and the car was driving fine. Fast forward to the next day, I was driving again on a highway at about 65mph, when the SAME thing happens. The car stuttered, lost all acceleration, and the check engine light was flashing. I ended up driving it home (about 10 miles away) and the whole time I could not go faster than 30mph without the car shaking. This time the car would not go higher than 1.5rpms. I checked the engine at home and a P1326 code came up, which is a code for the Knock Sensor. I called the Hyundai dealership that I originally went to and they said there was nothing they can do about it at the moment since they had just replaced it. Prior to all of this, there was no warning sign at all that this was a potential hazard. It happened so suddenly and both times it happened put me in a dangerous situation.

While driving, I came to a stop sign and the car completely shut off. The car restarted and then I stopped at a stop sign and the car completely shut off. I had the car towed and they told me that it had catastrophic engine failure. I haven-??t even owned this car for 1 year yet. How could the engine fail. Upon further investigation, it appears that this is a known issue with Hyundai Tucson-??s of the same year.
The contact owns a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while in her daughter's possession, the engine had failed to start after multiple attempts. Several warning lights illuminated the instrument panel during the failure. The vehicle was jumpstarted and the horn began to blare once the engine restarted. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where they were unable to determine the failure. The contact also stated that the vehicle would rattle while both idle and upon activation of the AC. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was given to a case manager; she was later instructed by the case manager to take the vehicle back to the dealer for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 23,000.
