Fuel/Propulsion System · reported Sep 28, 2026

An authorized Hyundai dealership performed a major engine replacement on my vehicle on June 11, 2024. The vehicle mileage was documented as 110,797 miles in and 111,799 miles out. In September 2026, after the vehicle had reached 129,430 miles, I brought it to an authorized Hyundai dealership because of a severe gasoline odor and evidence of gasoline entering the engine oil.

The documented mileage from the 2024 engine replacement's out-mileage of 111,799 to the September 2026 diagnostic in-mileage of 129,430 is…

Unknown or Other · reported Jan 12, 2026

I AM the original owner of this 2014 hyundai tucson. In august 2025 I noticed that the rear passenger door locks seized. This meant the door could not be opened from the inside, outside or remotely. This presented a serious safety hazard in the event of a collision , overturn , fire or flood. No passenger could exit, and no rescuer could open the door. I notified hyundai customer service and they gave me a case #[xxx], but said there was nothing they coud do as no recall had been made. However they did recall the 2015 hyundai tucson for the same defective part. So they are aware of this defect…
