2019 Hyundai Tucson problems
The Hyundai Tucson (/ˈtuːsɒn/; Korean: 현대 투싼) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. It is named after the city of Tucson, Arizona. It was originally known as the Hyundai JM when it was introduced in Japan in 2004.
The second-generation model was marketed as the Hyundai ix35 in several markets, including Europe, Australia and China, before reverting to Tucson for the third generation. Since its first generation, the Tucson has been developed alongside the Kia Sportage, sharing platforms and engines.
The Tucson is the best-selling Hyundai SUV model, with more than 7 million units sold globally since it launched in 2004. Of these, 1.4 million units have been sold in Europe.
The fourth-generation model marked the switch to a mid-size car platform using the N3 platform which is shared with another three corporate siblings, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, the Hyundai Mufasa and the fourth-generation Kia Sorento. As of 2022, the Tucson is positioned between the Kona or Creta and the three-row Santa Fe in Hyundai's crossover SUV lineup.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-06
- VIN: KM8J23A42KU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My car lost power and was shaking while driving, the dealership service department told me that that my car was producing a code for a misfire in my exhaust valve chamber #3 and I could replace this for $4400 but in a few months I would need a new engine so they recommended I replace the engine for $8000. I am 1000 miles over my warranty so Hyundai is refusing to pay for this. I currently finance my car and owe $22000 on it still and can not afford to fix my car out of pocket. My car has been at the service department since 9/6/2024, I’ve researched this problem with this make and model and thousands of Hyundai owners are being denied for new engines because the engine failure was not caused by the rod bearings, ultimately both of these concerns and problems are cause from oil consumption and these vehicles burning oil. After multiple exhausting attempts to clear this up with Hyundai USA corporate and my local dealership. I’m am now working on other options. Driving down a 70mph highway losing acceleration is dangerously unacceptable

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-26
- VIN: KM8J2CA40KU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: I have had to replace the exhaust manifold and catalytic converter twice since owning my car. I have owned my car since 2020 and bought it at 23,000 miles. The car now has 100,000 miles - all highway. The code P0240 has displayed again and the dealership said I need to replace the catalytic converter and manifold for a third time. The car burns synthetic oil very quickly as well. Dealership has found no leaks of oil. I have to change oil every month because of how quickly the oil burns. I have conducted my own research and have found several other owners of 2019 Hyundai Tucson are having similar issues. I encourage Hyundai and its partners to initiate an investigation. This could cause detrimental damage to the engine. Something is wrong!

UNKNOWN OR OTHER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-08
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KM8J2CA42KU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the recent theft of my 2019 Hyundai Tucson, which I believe was exacerbated by a software update provided by Hyundai. Several months ago, I had my vehicle updated with a software patch at a Hyundai dealership, specifically intended to address vulnerabilities related to vehicle theft. However, despite the update, my vehicle was stolen on August 8, 2024, and later totaled in a crash. I have been informed by police and insurance company officials that thieves are now exploiting a method involving breaking a window and popping the ignition, as demonstrated in online videos. This method remains effective despite the software update. Adding to my frustration, Hyundai placed a sticker on my driver’s window to indicate the software update. This inadvertently advertised to thieves that my vehicle was among those with the known vulnerability, potentially making it a target.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-27
- VIN: KM8J2CA43KU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: The drain plug was loose, even thought the mechanics ensured it was tightened. This is another case out of many of 2019 Hyundai Tucson owners who have found the drain plug to be faulty causing loosening and then falling out causing all oil to drain quickly and without warning. My engine unfortunately died mid drive while at the base of a large bridge, causing safety risks to myself and my passenger, as well as other drivers on the road. The engine lost so much oil at once giving no chance to even be warned about malfunction, as we were driving and it just fell out. My engine seized completely. This is not the first time Hyundai parts have done this, according to other owners, mechanics and other forums. Hyundai still has no recall for this faulty parts and offers no assistance to remedy a potentially life threatening situation.

ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-11
- VIN: KM8J33A42KU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: My car is burning oil like crazy, having to top off engine with 1.5 quarts between 5,000 mile oil change with synthetic oil. Took to Hyundai for oil consumption test. Let them know I'm having issues with burning oil, and my check engine light comes on often. They looked at my car saw enough of a problem according to advisor to skip first step of oil consumption test and jump straight to step 2 an engine combustion cleaning, which cause multiple more codes to come on. Drove the 1,000 mile 1378 to be exact because I explained to them that I couldn't bring back at exact mileage and was told that was fine. I was toldy car was only a quart low and that that meant everything was fine and that they would now honor the warranty. I am using in ungodly amount of gas and my engine oil smells like straight gasoline. I explained this to the manager and he said he resubmitted to try to retest again and was denied. I do not know what to do at this point. The advisor even said he didn't agree with their decision but it was up to them. His hands were tied. I am a single mother still paying on the car and only bought new because of the warranty. I provided immaculate proof of oil changes and maintenance. Please help .

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-24
- VIN: KM8J3CAL5KU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE
- Summary: The TSB needs to be replaced according to the Hyundai Dealership. This is a known problem and would normally be covered under warranty but I am just outside of my warranty window and it just started happening. The entire audio system, touch screen controls, and hands-free controls do not work. The touch screen freezes after a few seconds and freezes on my backup camera creating a major driving distraction. The audio system does not shut of once the vehicle has been turned off creating a problem for the battery which I have to manually disconnect or it will continue to power my touchscreen system even after I leave the vehicle. The lane assist, blind spot indicator, and any beeping warning sounds do not work because of the failing TSB. I cannot change my cars settings or hear any warnings from the car's sensors. I believe this is a major manufacturing flaw and Hyundai will not fix it even though those warning sounds are part of the safety features of the vehicle and are a major player in driver safety. The radio controls do not work - volume included. I cannot adjust any noises in the car and beeping warnings are no longer sounding. I am worried that this problem is also affecting any and all car audio warnings such as the forward collision warning, parking collision warning, and lane departure warning.

- Summary: I was driving approx 55mph on [XXX] in my 2019 hyundai tucson when the check engine light came on and the engine started to stall. I felt the acceleration dying down in the middle of busy highway traffic. Gray smoke started coming from the hood cracks. I luckily was in the right lane already, so when I could I veered off to the shoulder and the car quit. The smoke was increasing badly. Ppl from the highway were yelling its going to blow up get away from it! I was so scared. I grabbed my phone and keys and ran as far as I could while dialing 911. Within a couple minutes flames were swallowing the entire engine and front of the car. I am furious. I researched online and hyundai has had many similar incidents with this car and other with this engine ! These need to be banned and taken off the road before they kill anyone else. Ppl have been injured and killed from similar situations just like mine. I thank God I made it out of this horrific situation alive. But now I have no car and am at risk of losing my job and then housing . I thought I would have this car for years. Now I'm traumatized and without transportation.

Hey there! It seems like the acceleration from start could use a bit of a boost, don't you think?
-
My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with our 2019 Tucson SE AWD. Having lived all over the US, we've had the opportunity to drive this vehicle in snow throughout the Mid-West and New England. Here in New England, where everyone seems to own a Subaru because of their snow/mud capabilities, we've found that our Tucson is just as capable, if not more so. We've owned two Subarus in the past, but we have never regretted our decision to purchase the Tucson. It has handled the snow and mud exceptionally well, without any issues. The warranty offered by Hyundai is also fantastic, which gives us peace of mind. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our purchase and we will definitely be recommending the Tucson to anyone who asks. It's simply the best choice you can make!
-
I love the way it handles. It's just the right size for a recently retired grandma.
-
This is a great car! It easily gets 30+mpg, handles very well, and is super comfortable. The only reason I might consider trading it is because of the current 'green movement' that is skewing the market so heavily away from fossil fuels. I would love to have the option to use both electric and gasoline, along with my independent home solar power supply. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about which way things go!
-
Hi there! Based on my experience, I usually get around 27 mpg on average with my front wheel drive. However, my friend who has a Honda CRV all wheel drive gets over 30 mpg, which is pretty impressive! I did notice that my older Elantra had roof rack mounts, but unfortunately, the Tuscon SE doesn't. After some searching, I was able to find a Yakama rack that fits for $620. Although the Tuscon SE is much larger than my Elantra, I'm happy to report that it gets about the same mpg. Overall, I think it's a great car with a solid warranty. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!

Hi there! I recently purchased a Tucson 2019 with 32000 miles on it. Unfortunately, after only 2 days of driving, the engine light came on and I couldn't drive over 45 mph. I took it to the dealership and they said they fixed it, but after driving it for only 20 miles, the light came on 4 more times. Now they have decided to put in a new engine. I'm starting to worry that this car might be a lemon. If this doesn't work out, I hope they can give me my money back. It's been almost a week since I got the car on January 23rd and I still don't have it back. Thanks for your help!

The car has some basic features, but I've noticed a few areas for improvement. For example, I'm currently trying to move a piece of furniture that is slightly too long for the car, and I've found that there is no place on the hatch door to tie a rope. In my previous car, I was able to pad the furniture and tie a rope to keep the hatch door almost closed and prevent it from moving. Unfortunately, the Tucson doesn't have a handle or any place to thread a rope to keep the door from flopping around. I contacted my dealer for assistance, but they were unable to provide a solution. Additionally, I've noticed that the car doesn't have a compass, which can be inconvenient in areas where GPS is often lost. Overall, while there are some areas for improvement, the car still runs well. However, I may consider other options in the future that better meet my needs.

I had the opportunity to drive one for a week on the island of Oahu, and while it got me where I needed to go, I found it to be underpowered and lacking in pickup. The transmission seemed to struggle with shifting between gears, which made for a less than smooth ride. Additionally, the interior felt a bit cheap and the controls were dated. Overall, I didn't find it to be a very enjoyable driving experience and would probably choose a different rental in the future. For comparison, I usually drive a BMW X-1, and while the price difference may not be insignificant, I think it's worth it for the superior driving experience.

I test drove a 2019 Tucson which was smaller than I expected. It looked larger in photos. However, the ride was smooth and the suspension was great, hardly feeling any bumps. The acceleration was acceptable but I found the interior to be no larger than a Corolla. Based on my preferences, I decided to decline on the purchase.

Hello! I have a 2019 Hyundai Tucson. The car has a stylish design and comes with many features, but I have noticed that the collision alert could be improved. Additionally, I have found that the car's acceleration is not as strong as I would like it to be, even in sports mode. The gas mileage is also not great, and I find myself needing to fill up the tank frequently, even for short distances. While some reviews from sources like Car and Driver, Edmunds, and Kelly Blue Book have mentioned these issues, I still appreciate the car's overall design and features. Thank you for listening to my feedback!
