Failed AC at 62k miles

Disappointed in Kentucky, 03/08/2023
2018 Hyundai Tucson Limited 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful

I have a Hyundai 2018 Tucson Turbo, at 62K miles my AC went out. I'm in KY, not a desert area--AC used 4 months a year. It's going to cost me $900 plus 1-2 days of a car rental (because dealerships are so backed up and don't offer loaner cars since COVID) to get it repaired. Hyundai CSR says she will note my 'concern', but no one will reach back out to me. Note I have a 2005 Tucson with 162K miles and have had no issues with air than regular filter changes, and a charge and freon. On a side note I also hate that there is only 1 USB port in this SUV...none in the middle console, none in the back seats!

Love the car looks, handling features, roominess. Only negative is the get up and go when getting onto a highway. Once it gets over its sluggishness, it runs great.

The engine seized at 89k miles. The vehicle was properly maintained. Hyundai is refusing to help with the repair in any way. NEVER BUY A HYUNDAI

2018 Tucson Sport 2.4 AWD - Don't buy 1

The styling of the 2018 Tucson is nice. That's about it. the 2.4 has no power and if you want power it sounds like the motor is going to blow. Don't worry about the quart of oil it burns every 1500 miles that's Normal per Hyundai. It started burning oil around 40k now has 53k. Dealer said its because carbon has built up around the rings and can't make a tight seal in the cylinder. When it starts burning a quart every 1000 miles then the will look at it and put a chemical in each cylinder to try and break up the carbon. If that doesn't work then they will replace the short block. I'm glad I have all this time to waste with this car. I bought it brand new and have taken great care of it. The front grill has these great big gaping spaces in it to let all the air in to keep the engine cool it also lets all the rocks kicked up from the trucks and cars in front of you to put a whole in your AC coil. That isn't covered under the warranty either. That repair is $1300 dollars at the dealer. The AC coil is only like $150 dollars. Did I mention the horrible gas mileage it gets? I do mostly highway driving and I'm lucky if I get 20 mpg, more like 18 or 19mpg. The 19 inch low profile tires are expensive when they need to be replaced. So no more Hyundai for me.
