2011 Hyundai Tucson Engine

The contact owns a 2011 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for scheduled maintenance, the contact was informed that an oil pan seal leak had been discovered. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V063000 (Engine and Engine Cooling), and the VIN was included, but the repair had already been completed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 47,000.

I purchased this vehicle from an acquaintance, who had it serviced by a local mechanic. Before I decided to buy it, I spoke with the mechanic he used, as well as calling the dealer with the vin number to verify that the recall issues had been taken care of. It was purchased around 9/19/2022 per the title. I change the oil and rotate the tires every 3000 miles. Checking the oil weekly to see if it needs filling.I was attending an outdoor music show about 120 miles away. After leaving and not getting more than 20miles from the venue late that evening, my car with no indication slowed down and thankfully with not as much traffic I was able to pull to the side of the highway. The car would not turn over. I heard no noises when this occurred, nor did I smell anything, it just it quit working. It was late when the car was towed to S&B Automotive in Bridgewater. I had to wait for a ride and didn’t get home till early morning. When I contacted the place where it was towed, they said I needed a new engine at $6,000.00. I drained my bank account to pay for this 2011 Hyundai Tucson. So I could not have it repaired and was not aware of the recall and still never received the recall notice to this day. Just the one regarding the key issue and class action suit. If I had known that there was a recall on this vehicle I would have had it towed to the dealership for the repair and then traded it in for another vehicle other than a Hyundai. I was forced to take out an unwanted loan in order to purchase another vehicle. This vehicle although well maintained has too many issues. I still have the title as I inadvertently gave the automotive company the wrong title. I want to be compensated for the full blue book value of this vehicle.

MY CAR WAS HAVING ISSUES STARTING UP. ONE DAY WE STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE INTO TOWN AND IT STARTED TO MAKE A RATTLING NOISE. THE CAR WAS ALSO SLOW TO ACCELERATE. WHEN WE TRIED TO DRIVE HOME OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE WENT OUT AND THE CAR WOULDN'T START AGAIN.

THERE IS A RECALL OUT ON MY VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 181/NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 19V063. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE FOR THIS AND THEY ISSUED THE RECALL IN FEBRUARY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR P.M. SERVICE AT THE HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS INDEED SYMPTOMATIC OF THE NATURE OF THE RECALL (LEAKING FLUID BETWEEN ENGINE BLOCK AND OIL PAN), BUT THAT HYUNDAI DID NOT YET HAVE A REMEDY. WHEN I LOOK UP THE RECALL ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT SAYS,"IF THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL FOR YOUR VEHICLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, PLEASE CONTACT THE NHTSA..." I FEEL AS THOUGH, GIVEN THE POTENTIAL RISK (FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED/POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE) AND TIMELINE (RECALL ISSUED IN FEBRUARY - NO REMEDY YET AVAILABLE IN MID APRIL), HYUNDAI HAS INDEED FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. FURTHERMORE - I HAVE RECEIVED NO OFFICIAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM HYUNDAI REGARDING THIS MATTER WHICH I FIND UNPROFESSIONAL AS WELL.

ENGINE HAS A VERY BAD KNOCKING SOUND AS DESCRIBED IN RECALLED CARS THAT CATCH FIRE WITH THE SAME ENGINE. I CAN'T DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION AND THE MECHANIC SAYS REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND MIGHT NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A CONCERN THAT THERE ARE NO GOOD ENGINE PARTS FROM WHICH TO EVER FIX IT. THE SOUND JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE.
