2017 Hyundai Tucson

Engine and powertrain complaints dominate what owners report for the 2017 Hyundai Tucson, making up the bulk of the more than a thousand complaints filed. The most commonly described engine symptoms include stalling at stops and at highway speeds, rough idling, shaking or hesitation during acceleration, and difficulty starting. Multiple owners report the engine shutting off unexpectedly at red lights or while merging onto highways. Powertrain complaints frequently describe transmission hesitation, shuddering, and sluggish engagement, sometimes accompanied by the engine struggling to hold RPMs. A smaller but recurring set of complaints under vehicle speed control involves the engine cutting out or losing power during highway driving. Several owners also report sudden and dramatic engine failures, loud noises followed by smoke and mechanical damage, though these appear to represent a more severe end of the complaint spectrum rather than the most common experience. A number of reports mention multiple warning lights illuminating alongside the stalling events.
