In owners' own words
My car broke down on the highway, found oil leaked out. Oil Plug fell off during drive making immediate oil loss which in result caused catastrophic engine failure. Vehicle needs new engine. The car received service maintenance in authorized Hyundai City of Bay Ridge Dealership. Car is less then one years old with only 4500 miles on it and oil plugs are not supposed to fall off the car without any apparent reason. Engine
1) Transmission: while driving car jerks. when Iâm accelerating from a stop sign or stop light the wheels kind of feel like theyâre spinning/shaking and driving over gravel when I accelerate, before it actually starts and shifts gears. Car accelerating but not moving. 2) Not safe. Almost hit other cars around and people. 3) Dealer confirmed and replacing with new transmission. 4) No warning signs Engine
Iâve experienced repeated electrical and mechanical issues with my 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. These include full battery drainage without engine activation (leaving me stranded), multiple warning lights, and recently a heater failure that remains unresolved. Iâve had over 8 service visits in two years, and Hyundai has not responded to my formal letter. A detailed timeline is available if needed. Engine
