Engine was burning oil and depleted all of the oil before oil change was due. There were no warning lights to indicate low oil pressure and car stopped accelerating properly almost causing us to be hit when pulling out into traffic. Vehicle has continued to burn oil and has to be checked constantly and oil added or the problem will reoccur
The vehicle started exhibiting symptoms of oil consumption in February 2022 and I had it into the dealer because I thought there was a leak but there was lack of power and the car seemed like it wanted to fail. After months of adding oil due to the excessive consumption, it just stalled and died in February 2023. I received an extended warranty for 150,000 miles on the engine and the dealer denied my claim and placed blame on me because there was sludge in the engine, lack of maintenance records even though I provided thorough maintenance records.
My Hyundai Tucson beginning at 65,000 miles Began consuming more oil than normal. There was a transfer of title through a family member with the vehicle and was not aware that in that case the cars 100,000 mile warranty is no longer valid. It is then reduced to half that or 60,000, one of the 2. I brought the fact up to the service rep at Hyundai that it was going through a lot of oil and they stated that it was normal with multiple cars that Hyundai produced. The oil was burning off and no detection of leak and no check engine light has ever came on. It never over heated. I then brought this up to Hyundai at about 92,000 miles and thats when I learned about the warranty being voided because of the transfer. The car at the time is running just fine but still burning oil and still nothing from the dealership about any issues because the check engine light never came on. Until I was going home one day and the car began to stutter and losing power. It was struggling to produce power and I finally pulled over to a safe spot. It did not wanna start after that. I had it towed to Hyundai service center and they later told me that my engine needed a fuel system flush. They did that and I drove it just fine for about a month. Then it did the same thing only this time the check engine light finally came on. The code was giving them a misfire of 2 cylinders and was not holding enough pressure. They then said my motor was gonna need to be replaced and that threw me off. I feel like that should have been detected much earlier but without any sign of overheating or engine alarms it just kept running up until that point of the motor no longer running. I feel that if I were to get some kind of check engine light earlier in then it is possibly that this could have been avoided. I feel like this issue remains and is well overlooked to many of their vehicles. I just need a new engine not looking for money or anything else, just a car that is reliable and safe.

So my engine has a lawsuit with Hyundai because the type of engine that is in it is causing it to consume more oil. My cylinder one has completely gone out because of it consuming to much oil. It is a huge safety problem because it could have shut off while I was driving it. Hyundai dealership is trying their best to not to have to pay for it. My check engine light came on and said spark plugs and coils needed to be changed. We changed them and they were coated in oil which isn't supposed to happen. My light was still on after changing them and the code reader was saying cylinder 1 misfire. I take it to the dealership and they said cylinder one has gone out. I think they dismissed it because the coils and plus were clean but we just changed them and maybe drove 10 miles so they wouldn't have had a chance to get coated in oil. I hope I don't have to get a lawyer to get my car fixed under the lawsuit like it needs to be. I know a few other people having the same problem and theirs is getting covered under the same lawsuit.
On 4/8/2023 I began hearing a ticking noise coming from my engine while driving. I took my car into Sid Dillon Hyundai Dealership of Lincoln NE on 4/10 and picked it up on 4/11. They completed 2 recalls (valve cap replace and ABS kit replace) and an inspection on the engine. The recalls did not fix the issue. They determined that the cylinder 3 rod bearing has excessive clearance of.37 MM. They advised that the vehicle should not be driven as it could lock up at any time. They found that the engine needs a replacement. I was quoted $13,000 for a new engine replacement. They let me know that there has been extended warranted for this exact issue on the 2.0 and 2.4 engine. However, my vehicle has the 1.6 engine which was not included in the extended warranty although it has the same issue.
March 6, 2023 the check engine came on and I came out of pocket $900 for new Ignition coils.. A month later, the engine starts knocking and now they're saying that the engine is completely bad and would have to replace it. The engine burned alot of oil in that time. I was getting oil changes before the oil change mileage mark. I'm stuck at this moment because there is no recall for the engine for my vin.

Excessive Engine Oil Consumption. Have had this problem close to Two Years. Keep going back to the Dealer they have done multiple Oil cconsumption checks an engine Combustion cleaning was done. Was told that the car needs an engine replacement but manufacturer refuses to so.
Engine stalled while stopped at a traffic light on busy highway. Driver turned off engine and attempted to restart, but engine would not restart. Vehicle had to be towed from roadway. Oil level was checked and the dipstick was dry and crusted. Oil was added to engine and engine eventually restarted. However, there is now a severe knocking noise. The vehicle was towed to Hyundai dealership. Dealership advised engine needs replaced. Dealership advised Hyundai discontinued engine so there is not a new engine available. Hyundai advised there is not a remanufactered/rebuilt engine available. There was not ever a check engine or low engine oil level light illuminated prior to engine failure.

My vehicle did not accelerate when I pressed the gas - also I am low on oil and I-??m not due for an oil change, meaning there is an oil consumption issue with the engine. Something is wrong with the engine/oil.
The Check engine light never went on and I did not cause any harm to the car. I was simply driving and all of a sudden the engine sounds like the car will explode with no warning. 58,000 miles. The car was checked out by the dealer and they are recommending a completely new engine. They have no explanation for me.
Been having issues with the vehicle for about 10,000 miles, started misfiring replaced all plugs and 1 coil. Started misfiring again. Turns out a valve got burnt up drop into cylinder and cause a compression failure. I-??m in the hole 16,000 dollars on a vehicle that is going to need a engine replacement on a engine that is over
It's like the transmission has hesitation before it decides to go. I step on the gas and it doesn't go right away, it takes a couple seconds and then the rpms go up really high. There has been no accident but this has happened many times.
I was driving on the highway going 55 mph. My car started sputtering and decelerated to 30mph. The engine light was flashing. Cars behind me had to brake without warning.
The car has been having numerous acceleration issues, it can take upwards of 30secs to actually start moving from a light or stop sign. It also seems to be shifting late and/or slipping. This had caused me to be stuck at a light in the middle of the road and almost hit by another car. Also, my engine completely failed within 5mins, I was driving and the check engine light came on, then the oil light, then the engine started smoking, and then the car died in the middle of the road. The engine completely seized in 5mins. I had all oil changes done and there was never an oil light on saying it was low. When the dealer checked the engine there was no oil, probably from the rod breaking out. There. Was some if the same issues with the same year that got recalled and fixed for free. I got quoted $16,000 from the dealer. That's more than I owe and what the car is worth. I'm stuck with no vehicle and don't know what to do.
