I got word that my cousins 2017 Tucson (with the 1.6t) blew the engine. The turbo was shot and there was metal caked all through the engine. The car has just below 100k. They are not the original owners so no powertrain warranty left. Hyundai has a lot going for it, but it seems apparent to me that they have still not solved their engine problems. Of the 6 Hyundai owners in our circle, 3 have had blown engines, and 1 currently has major oil burning. That’s a small sample size, but I think it paints a big picture.
Anyway, I told him to contact corporate and request goodwill assistance, not sure if he has gone through with that yet.
