Your 2012 Tucson has been leaking large amounts of oil intermittently over the past week, and is now making noises from the engine. Two mechanics have told you this appears related to a Hyundai engine recall, but your vehicle isn't listed in that recall. You're concerned about fire and stalling risks, and frustrated that the dealership wants to charge you for diagnosis when the problem is clearly audible and visible.

At 139k miles, my wife was on her way to work when she stated she heard a knocking coming from the engine. On her way home the engine stalled out 3 times where she had to pull over and shut it off completely for a minute. By the time she made it home the vehicle was making a really bad knocking/ticking sound with the oil warning light flashing. I have not heard back from the dealership where it was towed to, but this is the same sort of rod bearing problem that plagued other vehicles from Hyundai in that 2012 range.

On 5/13/21 I took my vehicle to Preston Hyundai to complete 2 recall campaigns. Campaign 958 20-01-012H and Campaign 181 #19-01-012H. Part of the instructions for Campaign 181 (attached), states they must "Loosen the intake manifold stay bolts and remove the intake manifold stay. After the recalls were done, Preston checked my vehicle and there were no active . Also, my vehicle was working fine prior to the recalls that were done. Less than 2 weeks after Hyundai completed the engine oil recall campaign, my engine light came on. I took it back to Hyundai on 6/1/21 and they said the Intake Manifold was broken and needed replaced. I told them if was fine when I brought it in for the recall and they worked on it during the recall and therefore, needed to replace it. They refused. Hyundai said it would be $1149.76 to replace Intake Manifold and Ford said only the Intake Manifold Runner needs replaced and it would be $360.43 before tax to replace it. I am requesting that my Intake Manifold be replaced by Preston Hyundai or that they pay the $360.43 plus tax for Fairway Ford to replace the Intake Manifold Runner.
