Hyundai Motor America (Hyundai) is recalling certain model year 2016 Hyundai Tucson vehicles manufactured May 26, 2015 to January 15, 2016 and equipped with an accessory trailer hitch harness either included with the accessory trailer hitch or sold as a service part.

HELLO, I BOUGHT A USED 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO LESS THEN A MONTH AGO FROM AUTONATION THAT HAD ONLY 40,000 MILES ON IT. WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE TURNED ON FOR A P259F TROUBLE CODE FOR A TURBOCHARGER POSITION SENSOR THAT I HAD GOT FROM USING AUTONATION'S VEHICLE APP. NATURALLY , I CALLED AUTONATION TO HAVE MY CAR FIXED, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT HAD GONE OFF BEFORE I BROUGHT MY IN VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS. WHEN I DID BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FROM MY TURBO, BUT THAT IT HAD GONE OFF AND THAT THE CAR WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY, AND TO GO TO A HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP FOR A SPECIAL DIAGNOSTIC IF THE ISSUE CONSISTED. ON THE SAME DAY OF GETTING MY CAR BACK, I STARTED NOTICING ENGINE PERFORMANCE ISSUES, MY ACCELERATION WOULD BE AFFECTED BY 1 TO 2 SECONDS WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO, AND WHEN IT WOULD FINALLY NOTICE THE THROTTLE IT WOULD JUMP KICK THE CAR. ALSO THE WORST OF ALL, IT ALSO CUT OUT AT ONE POINT WHERE IT DID NOT WANT TO GIVE ANY SORT OF THROTTLE AT ALL, I NEEDED TO HAVE MY FOOT ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO JUST GO 30 MPH. DURING THAT TIME I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD BE REVVING HIGH WHILE NO SPEED WAS BEING GAINED, AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS WHERE GOING OFF EITHER. BECAUSE OF THAT, I WAS ALMOST INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I COULD NOT ACCELERATE OUT OF AN INTERSECTION WHEN MAKING A TURN. WHAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THIS IS THE TURBO ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, IS THAT THE WAY I GOT MY CAR TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY IS THAT I PARKED IT AND RESTARTED IT, AFTER THAT IT STARTED ACCELERATING NORMALLY, BUT AT TIMES THE ACCELERATION WOULD STILL BE AFFECTED.

I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2016 TUCSON. HERE ARE ALL THE SYMPTOMS AND ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE: DEALER RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER DEC 2019 AND I HAD THE PART REPLACED. HAD AN OIL CHANGE ON 1-26-2020 AND THE NEXT WEEK ON 2-2-2020 THE ENGINE WAS TAPPING, CHECKED THE OIL AND DISCOVERED NO OIL IN THE ENGINE. THE LOW OIL INDICATOR LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THE CAR CONTINUES TO BURN OIL. MECHANICS CHECKED CAR AGAIN AND NO LEAKS WAS DISCOVERED. AND STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS CAR IS BURNING OIL. MECHANIC IS RECOMMENDING A NEW ENGINE. ALSO, THE CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE ACCURATELY AND HESITATES AT ABOUT 45 MPH. THERE IS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT DOES CAUSE ANY PROBLEMS BUT THE PART CAN BE REPLACED. THE DRIVERS DOOR STICKS HAVE TO PULL ON THE DOOR HANDLE 2-3 TIMES BEFORE THE DOOR OPENS. MAJOR ENGINE ISSUES,

PASSENGER BRAKE LIGH REPEATEDLY GOES OUT, HYUNDAI DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED IT IS A RECURRING ISSUE ARISING FROM SUBPAR PARTS WITH KNOWN QUALITY PROBLEMS. OCCURS RANDOMLY; STATIONARY, IN MOTION. VEHICLE PRIMARILY USED FOR CITY DRIVING.

2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON ECO: VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I NOTICED THE AIR BAG INDICATOR IS ILLUMINATED. I REMOVED KEYS FROM IGNITION AND RE-STARTED WITH SAME RESULTS. NOT SURE IF IT'S A MODULE OR A DEFECTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HIS WIFE WAS DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM THE ENGINE. WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE CEASED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO SAFELY GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE ROADWAY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. TRIPLE -A WAS CONTACTED AND TOWED THE VEHICLE TO (FREEHOLD HYUNDAI 4065 U.S. 9, FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP, NJ 07728 (732) 625-1200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AND DETERMINED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO ANY RECALLS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

IN SUMMER OF 2019 I NOTICED LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING. A FEW MONTHS LATER, RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR STARTED NOT OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE. FAST FORWARD 3 MONTHS LATER, DRIVER WIDE WINDOW STOPPED FUNCTIONING AND NOW A FEW SHORT WEEKS LATER THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE OUTSIDE. I HAVE TRIED OPERATING THE WINDOWS THAT AREN'T WORKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND ALSO WHILE MOVING. THE DOORS OBVIOUSLY HAVE ONLY BEEN ATTEMPTED TO BE OPEN WHILE STATIONARY AND IN PARK. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL ISSUE? BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *LN CONSUMER STATED SHE NOW HAS 3 DOORS AND 2 WINDOWS THAT ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONTACTED. *JB

THIS ISSUE RECUR AFTER THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT MADE US GO BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALERSHIP 3YRS AGO. HYUNDAI OF SEATTLE SHOULD HAVE A FULL RECORD OF THIS ISSUE. RECENTLY THEN, OUR CAR SHOWS SIMILAR ISSUES. THE CAR IS SLOW TO ACCELERATE FROM STOP TO GO. DOES NOT PICK UP ACCELERATIONS WHEN YOU STEP ON THE GAS. ON INCLINED OR CLIMB, ENGINE HAS A HARD TIME AND SEEMS TO SHAKE A BIT THEN STEADY ITSELF AFTER 2 MINS AS YOU STEP IN THE GAS TO KEEP IT IN MOTION

THE TRANSMITTION FAIL AND DOING A HITS IN LOW VELOCITY OTHER STING IS WHEN I TAKE A UP HILLS AND STOP THE SUV, IT GO BACK QUICKLY AND IS VERY DANGEROUS, BECAUSE THE SUV CAN,T HOLD IN STAND BY UNTIL STAR THE TRIP
Steering, Jan 2, 2020
I REPORTED TO MY LOCAL HYUNDAI DEALER (FLEMINGTON NJ) OF CLICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN. THE DEALER SAYS THE STEERING JOINT SHAFT IS LOOSE AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED. PART NUMBER IS 56400-D3000. LOOKING ONLINE, I SEE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH OTHER OWNERS. THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF HYUNDAI; IF THE SHAFT FAILS, DRIVER MAY LOOSE TOTAL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. THIS SERVICE IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AFTER 50,000 MILES. THANKS. MIKE

MY 2016 HYUNDAI TUCSON STUMBLES A LOT UPON ACCELERATION FROM A STAND STILL. SOMETIMES WHILE MAKING A TURN. A FEW TIMES IT PUT MY DAUGHTER IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. HESITATING WHILE ACCELERATION THOUGH AN INTERSECTION. IT IS VERY FRIGHTENING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TWICE. ONCE IN JULY 2019 THEN AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2019. THE FIRST TIME THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD NO IDEA WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE AND STUMBLE UPON ACCELERATION. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAD RESET THE COMPUTER ON THE CAR IN HOPES THAT IT WILL FIX THE ISSUE. THEN THE SECOND TIME THEY TOLD ME IT MAY BE MY AIR FILTER AND OR MY FUEL INJECTORS NEED CLEANING. I DECLINED BOTH BECAUSE THE DEALER WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM JUST HAD THEM CLEANED AND AIR FILTER WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW. AFTER TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT SOMETHING ELSE COULD BE CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE HE FINALLY CONFESSED THAT IT WAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THAT ONE OTHER HYUNDAI CAR HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION FOR THE FIX. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THEY WERE WAITING ON HYUNDAI TO COME UP WITH A FIX. IN THE MEAN TIME MY DAUGHTER, WHO I BOUGHT THE CAR FOR, CONTINUES TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL HYUNDAI RECALLS THE CAR AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF.
Structure, Dec 25, 2019
THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT OPEN FROM EITHER INSIDE OR OUT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO DOOR OR VEHICLE, THIS STARTED RANDOMLY OVER AN YEAR AND FINALLY WON'T OPEN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID ITS OUT OF WARRANTY BY 1,000 MILES AND IT WILL COST OVER $500 TO BE FIXED. THEY RECOMMEND CUTTING THE DOOR HANDLE OFF TO GAIN ACCESS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE LOOK INTO, THERE ARE MANY TUCSON OWNERS OF SEVERAL HYUNDAI FORUMS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. (UNABLE TO OPEN DOORS). HOPING TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU, (XXXXX) REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THIS EVENING ME AND MY FIANC WERE DRIVING 45MPH DOWN HILL ON A STRAIGHT ROAD TO GET CHRISTMAS GIFTS, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE JUST DIED/STALLED (NO WARNING/DASHBOARD LIGHTS). THANK GOD WE WERE ABLE TO COAST INTO A GAS STATION AND GET OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. THE CAR WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER, SO MY FIANC CHECKED THE OIL AND IT WAS LOW. THE CAR DOESN'T LEAK OIL AND WE DO OIL CHANGES EVERY 3,000 MILES RELIGIOUSLY. WE CARRY EXTRA OIL IN CASE AN OIL WARNING LIGHT APPEARS SO WE ADDED OIL TO CORRECT FILL LEVEL. TO NO LUCK THE CAR STILL WOULDN'T TURN OVER. AS IT IS SATURDAY NIGHT AND TOMORROW BEING SUNDAY WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL MONDAY MORNING TO GET THE CAR TO A HYUNDAI DEALER TO BE ASSESSED BY THEM. HOPEFULLY THEY WILL COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CAR BURNS OIL OUT OF NO WHERE AND THAT THE CARS OIL WARNING/PRESSURE LIGHT IS MALFUNCTIONING/FAULTY. IN FINDING THAT I AM HOPING THE DEALER WILL HONOR MY WARRANTY AND REPLACE MY ENGINE.
Other or unspecified, Dec 21, 2019
MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR WON'T OPEN. IT'S NOT LOCKED, AND I'VE PUT AS MUCH FORCE ON IT AS I THINK I CAN WITHOUT BREAKING THE HANDLE AND IT WON'T OPEN. THIS SEEMS LIKE A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM WITH TUCSON'S AND WITH HYUNDAI'S IN GENERAL. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

CAR USUALLY BOGS DOWN WHEN STARTING OUT FROM A STOP. LIKE IT ISNT GETTING ANY FUEL. MY CAR IS A TURBO AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS NORMAL FOR TURBOS. BULL!

ON DEC 17, 2019 AT THE INTERSECTION OF PINEVILLE MATTHEWS RD AND 485 IN PINEVILLE N.C.AT APPROX 5:00 PM TURNING LFT ON TO 485 I WAS NEARLY T BONED AT THE INTERSECTION DUE THE DUAL CLUTCH TRANSMISSION NOT ENGAGING IN 1ST GEAR AND THEN LUNGING FORWARD WHEN IT DID.THIS IS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE.THE SUV NOW HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME. WERE THEY WILL NOT DOCUMENT WHAT I ASK THEM TO DOCUMENT AND ONLY RECORD AN EVASIVE STATEMENT OF DRIVING CONCERNS.AND TELL ME IN THE END WE DID RESET THE CONTROL MODULE BUT WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE YOUR CONCERN. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO SHUTTERS AT TIMES WHILE IN GEAR. DEALERSHIP KEFFER HYUNDAT MATTHEWS N.C.
Exterior lighting, Service brakes, Dec 18, 2019
THE DRIVER SIDE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FAILING INTERMITTENTLY. HOWEVER THE BULBS ARE STILL WORKING. WHEN I SWITCH THE BRAKE LIGHTS BETWEEN THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT, THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS ON THE LEFT SIDE. HOWEVER THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY AND ALL THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE WORKING FOR A WHILE. I HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT A PATTERN TO HOW LONG THEY WORK TO HOW LONG THEY DON'T WORK. THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE SWITCH SINCE 2 OUT OF 3 LIGHTS ARE ALWAYS WORKING. IT IS NOT A LIGHT BULB PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAILURE DID NOT FOLLOW THE BULB AFTER SWITCHING THEM.

MY CAR WAS MAKING A LOW, RUMBLING NOISE WHEN I ACCELERATED. IT STARTED GETTING LOUDER AND AS I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY VEHICLE LOST POWER AND SMOKE STARTED COMING FROM THE HOOD OF MY CAR. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND WALKED AWAY FROM IT, I COULD SEE A FIRE HAD STARTED UNDER THE CAR AROUND THE ENGINE. MY CAR WAS QUICKLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES AS I WAITED FOR EMERGENCY SERVICES TO RESPOND. AS A RESULT, MY VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND I LOST ALL OF MY PERSONAL BELONGINGS IN MY CAR
Power train, Electrical system, Dec 16, 2019
WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN I LET OFF THE BRAKE AND HIT THE GAS AND THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO MOVE IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL AND ONCE IT STARTS MOVING THE CAR STARTS JERKING AND SLIPS FROM 1 TO 2ND GEAR. SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, AND MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. AFTER TAKING IT TO THE DEALER AND REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER IT WILL STILL DO IT. THE CAR HAS 56K MILES ON IT AND IT SEEMS TO BE DOING IT MORE OFTEN NOW. I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ANYONE ELSE HAD THIS ISSUE, BUT AFTER READING UP ON IT, IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE ON THE 1.6 TURBO TUCSON. ALSO THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS SEEM TO STOP WORKING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN JUST WORK AS IF ANYTHING WAS WRONG. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AS WELL. I'M AFRAID WE'RE ARE GOING TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS.
Engine, Dec 9, 2019
THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL, THERE ARE NO LEAKS AND NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS. ON 12/5/19, MECHANIC FOUND A DRY DIP STICK AND REMOVED LESS THAN 1 QUART OIL FROM THE ENGINE AND EXAMINED FOR LEAKS. OIL CHANGES ARE IN REGULAR 5,000-6,000 INTERVALS USING SYNTHETIC 5W30 OIL AND THIS ISSUE WAS NOT FOUND AT THE LAST OIL CHANGE ON 4/11/19. OIL WAS CHECKED ON 12/8/19 AND THE OIL BELOW IS ALREADY BELOW FULL.
Engine, Nov 27, 2019
THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED AND THE LAST OIL CHANGE AT 52,000 MILES HAD NO WARNING LIGHTS AND THE TECH SAID THERE WAS NO OIL. IT WAS JUST ABOUT 5,000 MILES SINCE LAST OIL CHANGE. SEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A FAR TOO COMMON PROBLEM.

MY TAILLIGHT SAYS IT'S NOT WORK AND IT BE WORKING AND VIS VERSUS, AS IF THERE'S A SHORTAGE. NOW THE STEEP HILL LIGHTS COME ON ALONG WITH THE CAR TRACTION LIGHT. IT'S DOING IT MORE NOW THAN EVER. HAVING TO RESTART MY VEHICLE EVERYTIME NOW TO RESET IT. IT DOING IT AT RED LIGHT AND WHILE I'M DRIVING ALL ON IT OWN. MY BIGGEST FEAR IS MY DOORS STICKING AND THE DEALERSHIP IN TUPELO MS TOLD ME I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND TO ME I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BECAUSE THAT DEALING WITH MY SAFETY. THERE HAVE NOT BE ANY THING DONE TO EITHER DOOR FOR THE TO BE THAT WAY ON MY BEHALF.
