Engine failed after 125000. Paid to have a replacement because it was outside hyundai warranty.....less than a year later replacement engine failed. My mechanic says he is starting to see more and more newer model tuscons with this issue. Update : they have began issuing recalls for the model newer version of this vehicle for catastrophic engine failure.

Bought it new end of 2012. Never bought anything but Chevrolets and Fords over 50 years. Maintenance problems with an Equinox made me try a Hyundai. It now has 120,000 miles and it is still top notch. Including oil changes, a set of tires and a new battery this car is my absolute lifetime favorite. It is fun to drive. Whips in and out of parking places nicely and it looks wonderful....still! The gas mileage is still good and everything in the car works perfectly. I am waiting until the redesigned 2022 Tucson’s come in this summer to purchase another Hyundai. I will never drive anything else. Janet, Ann Arbor, Michigan

Gas mileage could be better. Make sure you get a extended warrantee from Hyundai or a reputable company.

Transmission replacement at 12K miles

I bought this car brand new in May 2013 to replace my 2002 Toyota Sienna (which was totalled when rear-ended by another vehicle). The seats were stained within a week when my wet umbrella brushed the seat as I was putting it on the floor. Yes......simple water stains this cheap fabric. I have no small children yet my seats still look horrible. At 12,000 miles my transmission needed replacement! I have previously owned a Toyota Corolla, Celica and Sienna and the quality of the Tucson doesn't even come close. First and last Hyundai I will ever own.
