2014 Hyundai Tucson

Engine complaints dominate what owners report for the 2014 Hyundai Tucson, accounting for nearly half of all filed complaints. Owners frequently describe a ticking or knocking noise that develops while driving, often accompanied by a loss of power, and in many cases the engine seizes entirely or fails outright. Warning lights illuminating suddenly while underway is a common precursor owners mention before the vehicle loses power and requires a tow. Brake complaints are the second most-reported area, though at a notably lower volume. The engine failure pattern spans a range of scenarios, some owners catch it early with audible knocking, while others describe the vehicle going completely dead on the road, sometimes with smoke coming from under the hood. Warranty coverage disputes also appear across multiple engine complaints, with owners reporting that claims were denied.
