My Wife has Leased a bunch of Hyundai's but I swear the 2.4 in her 2019 Tucson(5k OCIs) made more of a racket than my XJs 4.0 at cold start by the time she turned it in.

It has over 200k no doubt, but the top end is quiet not so much the bottom. When I did my RMS I checked the side crank clearance and it was the middle of the spec so I'll rebuild it when it blowsMaybe your 4.0L needs a top end rebuild, mine is silent

Yeah, when I heard they were intending on paying to have the engine replaced / rebuilt all I could think of is the next thing to go will likely be the transmission. They probably are unaware of the horrible track record on those.My Mom's got a 2019 Tucson 1.6. I will not be a bit surprised if the transmission grenades before too much longer. I visited in November and drove it quite a bit. That transmission made some seriously wrong gear change decisions, was incredibly indecisive and exhibited shift flare in 2-3 and 3-4 gear changes. I tried to give it some leeway considering it's dual clutch and sometimes feel kind of weird (to me). Very nice little car otherwise, but driving it is an experiment in how much nerve you have to get far from home in it. She gets it serviced on time exclusively at a dealership, so the warranty is there. Good thing for her.
It would appear that way.I remember everybody wondering how Hyundai and Kia could put so many electronic gizmos and have such good infotainment systems for such low prices, well now we know, they cut corners on engine design.
My understanding is that it is not the design that is the problem. Supposedly, they copy the design of good engines from other companies but the quality of the metal and the quality of the tolerances that are held is total garbage. Put that together with a good design and you still end up with a total piece of garbage.I remember everybody wondering how Hyundai and Kia could put so many electronic gizmos and have such good infotainment systems for such low prices, well now we know, they cut corners on engine design.
I don't know the rate, but i take mine every year for a mileage record and i get a card for $30-100 depending on mileage. For as long as i own the car.I also remember everytime he got the car serviced they recorded the mileage and he got gas cards because hyundai lied about the gas mileage estimates.
From my experience on a previous vehicle ('08 Kia Sorento), I would have to agree with this somewhat. If you look under a 1/1.5 gen Sorento, you'd swear you were looking under a Toyota truck/suv (4Runner)...especially, the rear axle. Like the Toyota's the Sorento had a 3rd member type axle...almost a copy of the Toyota rear axles. It looked like a Toyota axle, but it was not built like a Toyota axle. I swear, they must have used powdered metal in the assembly because after a while (I've heard as little as 50,000 miles), it will start to self destruct. This was/is such a big problem for these vehicles that the part supply ran out...new and used. It is the main reason I got rid of mine and now drive an Xterra.My understanding is that it is not the design that is the problem.

With all the other solid proven options out there made by other companies I scratch my head why if people know the history of Hyundai/Kia engine failures why they still buy them. Hopefully they can get a free replacement engine.
