Description of the problem | Noticed an engine knocking noise and slight lurching of car after a cold start. Took it to the hyundai dealership for diagnosis and maintenance and they told me i would need to replace my short block for five or six thousand dollars very soon or my engine would seize up. They mentioned that my car's symptoms were identical to those of the hyundai models that have a recall for their engines, namely thick oil with debris in it. My 2014 tucson uses the exact same engine as the one currently being recalled so i think it's just a matter of time until enough complaints accumulate that the tucson is recognized as being effected by the same issue as the other models using this engine. |
