Engine Burns Oil

2017 Hyundai Tucson SE 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

Do not purchase Hyundai Tucson. I purchased this beast in Tinley Park, IL dealership and corporate are aware that there are issues with 2017 engines burning oil. The car has died while driving due to burning oil. No warning lights and the car just stops. Apparently I have to get killed in an auto accident or burn over 1 quart of oil before the dealership or corporate does anything. This is the first time and last time I ever purchase a Hyundai vehicle Shame on you Hyundai corporation. People work hard for their money and they get screwed by you. Do right by consumers.

Buyers Beware! Engine burns oil and Hyundai is aware of the issue but they do NOT want to resolve this issue. Instead they will make every excuse to not resolve the issue. I will never purchase a Hyundai vehicle. Shame on Hyundai corporation.

Nice Ride Very few problems

2017 Hyundai Tucson Night 4dr SUV (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

At 76K and still feels like new. Turbo offers great acceleration, but I don't push it unless I have to. The dealer replaced my transmission for free a few years ago, even though I wasn't having problems. Did have to replace my AC early on, but that was on warranty. Also had problems with my moon roof early on, so I don't open it much anymore. It doesn't handle Arizona dust very well. Probably true of any moonroof, so my next car won't have one.

This car was JUNK!

2017 Hyundai Tucson Eco 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

Soon after we bought this car we discovered a major problem with the transmission. When backing up, the transmission produced an audible and physical vibration, similar to a shudder. That wasn't the worst of it though. When trying to pull onto the road from a stop position the transmission really misbehaved. Sometimes it would gallop to a start. At other times you would press the accelerator and the car would not move. That made this very dangerous to drive in any locations that have even moderate traffic. We told our dealer about it but we're told, that that condition is normal. At somewhere near 100,000, mi. The car began drinking oil. There was no evidence that it was leaking or even burning oil but the oil was going somewhere. I was putting about a quart a week in it and once again when brought to the dealer we were told that this was normal oil consumption. We just bought a new Honda and of course steering the showering experience we did not even slightly consider Hyundai. It's too bad for them because I've heard they make some pretty good cars but once burned twice removed.

Wonderful Family Car

I spent way too much time researching vehicles and I finally ended up on the Hyundai Tuscon based on the spirited test drive. In the end the sporty turbo engine and the 19" wheels won me over the Rav4 and the Forester but it's the cargo space and the panoramic roof that I ended up liking the most.
