2017 Hyundai Tucson Recalls, Issues & Maintenance

“There is an excessive engine oil consumption on the 1.6L turbo charged motor. Motor oil is completely depleted between recommended oil changes. It is a necessary to add roughly 1qt of oil per 1,000 miles driven, between oil changes, in order to maintain safe oil levels”

“About every 500 miles I have to add about a quart of oil. I brought my car to McDaniels Subaru for maintenance on my car. My son is a master tech there and I know he is very thorough”

“The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. During frequent oil checks, the oil on the dipstick was low soon after an oil change. The vehicle was taken to the dealer approximately 15 times for oil consumption issues”

“Knocking noise in motor and metal flakes in the oil. Called local dealership. They report no recalls for this issue”

“The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, an abnormal knocking sound was heard coming from under the hood, and the RPMs independently increased. The "Check Engine Oil" warning light illuminated”

“Engine failed at 137,000 miles. The vehicle is available for inspection. The engine failed while driving with no warning lights, or indications that anything was wrong. It started with a knock that gradually got worse and worse over the course of 5 miles”

“My 2017 Hyundai Tucson Limited 1.6L Turbo (with 7-speed EcoShift DCT) has ongoing transmission problems. The vehicle hesitates, jolts, and sometimes fails to accelerate from a stop, which creates a serious safety risk when entering traffic or crossing intersections”

“I own a 2017 Hyundai Tucson with the dual-clutch transmission. For months I experienced serious hesitation and sputtering when accelerating from a stop or low speed”

“There is an intermittent problem with the transmission. It’s impossible to predict when the transmission will slip. When navigating traffic, it has happened multiple times trying to pull out across oncoming traffic”

“Catalytic converter has now failed twice with only 105,000 miles”

“My car has been consuming large amounts of oil and as a result has had two catalytic converters replaced. Twice now we have been disabled on the highway due to aggressively poor engine performance”

“The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter needed to be replaced. The catalytic converter was replaced; however, the failure persisted”

“The rear driver's side door will not open, neither with the remote nor manually from both the inside and outside. Without enabling rear passengers to exit the car during an emergency is very much a safety issue. No warning lamps or messages”

“Left rear passenger door latch failure to open either from inside or outside. This is a mechanical failure of the cables operating the latch”

“RIGHT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN WHEN ACTUATING HANDLES INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. UNABLE TO REMOVE CHILD OR ALLOW PASSANGERS SAFE EXIT OF VEHICLE”

“While traveling on the highway the car began to lose speed rapidly until coming to a complete stop, no warning lights were present prior”

“Engine lost power suddenly on the highway. Vehicle entered limp mode and became limited to 45MPH and reduced acceleration”

“While driving to work on I-26 in the far left lane at approximately 55 mph, my vehicle suddenly and completely shut off without warning. The engine power was lost instantly, forcing the car to come to an abrupt stop in live interstate traffic”

“Was driving on a Highway doing approx. 65-70mph within 30 minutes of the 1hr and 1/2 drive I had lost complete POWER STEERING. Wheel stiffened up and was scary and difficult to lane change to a slower lane or attempt to pull over at 11:00PM due too safety”

“The power steering of the vehicle suddenly stopped working. We had the car towed, and after inspection we were told that the steering column had failed”

“Recently, I began experiencing intermittent steering problems in which the steering wheel becomes extremely difficult to turn and appears to momentarily jam or lock while driving”
