Research will reveal that Hyundai-Kia’s engines and transmissions frequently have problems. Although I’ve seen a lot of them with blown engines, the 1.6T is one of their better engines.

The only option to address excessive oil consumption is to repair or rebuild the engine because it indicates that the piston rings need to be replaced. Until the automobile is no longer covered under warranty, Hyundai is likely to contest your claim for a replacement. After doing an oil consumption test, if the results are not abnormally high (more than one quart per 1000 miles), they will refuse to rebuild the engine, stating that it is “within spec.”

Some Elantras have had transmission hiccups, and older models might have engine oil consumption issues.

But don’t let that scare you off! Newer models have addressed these, and with proper maintenance, you’ll be fine.

While the 2018 Hyundai Tucson is generally considered reliable, it does have some potential issues that owners have reported.

Common Problems:

  • Engine Issues: Some owners have experienced problems such as excessive oil consumption, stalling, and even engine failure. Hyundai has addressed some of these issues through updates and recalls.
  • Transmission Problems: Reports of rough shifting, delayed responses, and occasional hesitation have been noted by some drivers.
  • Electrical Glitches: Issues with the infotainment system, power windows, and other electrical components can sometimes arise.
  • Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Issues: False alarms or inaccurate readings are common complaints.

It’s important to remember that not all owners experience these problems, and many have had positive experiences with their 2018 Tucson.

Tips to Mitigate Potential Risks:

  • Thorough Inspection: Have a pre-purchase inspection done by a qualified mechanic.
  • Check Vehicle History: Use services like Carfax or AutoCheck to review the vehicle’s history for any red flags.
  • Extended Warranty: Consider purchasing an extended warranty to provide added peace of mind.
