for a basically brand new Hyundai Tucson, at only 9,000 miles, the SUV should not be burning up all it's crankcase oil. It might have experienced a leak through seals or a bad gasket that, by all rights, should be Hyundai's responsibility to replace the engine for you under the Long-Haul Warranty.
 
I agree, the light appearing that your wife saw is evidence of a problem, a problem that shouldn't be there but it was.
 
If they want to stick to their story about your wife seeing the light come on and you guys not doing anything, then I think they should at least meet you guys halfway in engine replacement costs. Something's rotten in Germany.

Had my Tucson for a little over a year and half and began to experience water in my engine and then oil in the radiator. Turns out my head gasket had blown or at least so I thought. Then the Tucson dealers realized it was a cracked cylinder. For a vehicle this new I should not be having these problems.
 
Anyone else has any issues such as this?

Warranty only for 12 months. They are trying to source the replacement part but it's taking them a while. My thing is, it's a manufacturer problem and I wanted to know if anyone has had that sort of problem before with their Tucson.

If your vehicle is only a year and a half old....why does it only have a 12 month warranty. Isn't it covered with a 3 year, 36000 mile OEM warranty?????

Hi there, actually hyundai has 5yr 60,000 mile new car warrantry with 100,000 power train, but in either case should be under warranty unless the car was driven alot since buying. I would be fighting tooth and nail to have that repair covered under warranty, if they try to have me pay for such repairs.

Actually you guys have it better than us. Where I'm at that's what they give us, 1 year or 12,000 miles.
 
We haven't discusssed anything on who is going to pay as yet but I'm certainly not planning to pay for the entire cost.
 
It's taking them far too long to repair it though.

what i find interesting/frustrating is that these engine faults should be under warranty so why are the dealers trying to back out of the warranty with excuses. Either the dealers are incompetent OR Hyundai in Korea has set up a system whereby the dealers are rewarded for not honoring the warranty. I would like to find a contact at Hyundai corporate and find out if it is my dealer nonsense or the Hyundai that makes it difficult or discourages the dealer for honoring the warranties. I imagine there must be some place or legal recourse when companies fail to honor warranties.
1. Does anyone know where how to complain to the main Korean Hyundai?
 
In my case after much fussing and over a month of repair time the dealer will fix the engine free, but not re-reimburse for the towing, taxi replacement car rental, monthly lease payment. So they will stiff me out of around 800USD. Which in reality if i want to fight in court it is not worth it becuase who knows what would happen, i generaly do not want any more hassle, but i think it is rude and they acted in bad faith and did not keep ther word about the warranty.
