“Our 2017 Hyundai Tucson is going through a lot of oil. We are having a consumption test done. I called the Hyundai dealer where we had the oil change and he said he heard something about Hyundai Tucson's burning through a lot of oil. I did see a lawsuit for the 2016 models and think 2017 models are having similar issue. Our seat reclining electrical button is also failing the seat to recline properly.”
NHTSA complaint #11367039, filed 2020-10, 60,000 miles“I made a complaint against this same problem but now it is on the opposite side. The brake rear passenger side has burned. The dealership blocked em from making an appointment to repair the defect. I will try again. This is the second burning of the brake light system.”
NHTSA complaint #11252945, filed 2019-09, 23,000 miles“At approximately 6:10 pm on wednesday 8/7/19, I was on an outlying road turning on a roundabout, I had slowed to approximately 15 MPH to enter the roundabout and was accelerating to exit it, when my 2017 Hyundai tuscon spontaneously and without warning shut off. The car slowed and the screens went black. I was able to get to the shoulder before it stopped completely and turn my hazard lights on. I waited a few seconds and tried the car, it started right up. …”
NHTSA complaint #11242380, filed 2019-08, 29,150 miles“Nhtsa #20v543000 recall number 195 still has no remedy for this year model. The dealer I just bought my vehicle from has 13/14 certified pre owned with open recalls of this nature. I purchased and then was told I could not take it until the recall was fixed. Understandable and appreciated. The next day nobody would answer my texts or messages. Upon researching I see why. Obviously I do not want to drive my child around in a 'new' vehicle that might catch fire. Why do you allow them to continue to sell them? Why isn't there a remedy after 2.5 years?!?”
NHTSA complaint #11386743, filed 2021-01, 50,000 miles“The vehicle failed to accelerate on a circle causing me and another vehicle to collide. I have taken the car into the shop on numerous occasions the first time at 150 miles on the odometer and continuing for over a year, each time the dealership insists that no problem exists or existed, neither Hyundai nor the dealership will acknowledge that there is an inherent safety issue with this 7 speed transmission, this vehicle decelerates, hesitates from a stop and does not always handle in a safe manner. …”
