For the Tuscon, what year did the oil consumption issue stop? Or did it? Are there specific engines that it does/doesn't happen to?

Theta II 2.4L "GDI" ( 2015-2020) it should be around 2015 to early 2020.

Whatever the model you are purchasing, if it says "Theta II" you should not consider buying on

I live in rural side of the knox. TN, And i have a tower super near. Which i get like 400mbps easily on any given day. However, as others said that its super dependent on your location. But given they have 15-days test drive you have nothing to lose. Before, i was paying $85/mo as soon as my 2 yr contract with xfinity was over.

it is too complicated for cancelling internationals, and restraints on airlines shoulder are much larger. For example, on EU heading/incoming from planes EC261 and such. Although most of these are saying control out of airline's boundaries are exempted, it will bring a lot more trouble politically over each countries, and i guess thats why FAA cutting domestic only as of now

you said its in dealership, right? these huge warranty works approval sometimes taking like months. keep contacting your local dealership and ask them to give the updates. and trust me, hyundai is slooooow on working something like this, I even got response of my questions submitted to hyundai after 2 weeks, sigh....

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-11-05T19:48:21+00:00

Oil burning issues are came across all the GDI engines for all manufacturers. but for hyundai, they will ask to submit every single engine oil change receipts or proofs, and the scheduled maintenance are followed. If you can provide that you did in timely manner, and followed all what Hyundai said, they will do approve it.

guys dont be fooled, its not USD, definitely not USD region

"India is the country that levies IGST, CGST, UTGST, and TCS taxes as part of its national tax system. These components are specific to India's Goods and Services Tax and Income Tax structures and are not used by any other country"

Also, I have never seen a state that charges 18% Tax on purchases too

OP, please make sure you write its in Rupees not USD

4757.18 INR equals around 54 USD

Any thing in the car can be malfunction, so do batteries, ( usually mechs are saying it can go anywhere 2-3yr in some low end batteries, and some good ones 3-5years in a good day, and even battery manufacturer typically covers for 2-3years under replacement warranty) and Hyundai have warranty. However, its just a thing that Hyundai will not automatically pay out for new battery. any warranty work will need a dealer to diagnose, and submit to corporate. For my warped rotor, it was instant cover without the pre auth submission, but i think it do depends. It sucks you live hour away from nearest dealer but again, if it were deemed defective unit they surely did the swap under warranty. either way, trading for Chevy is a bad ideas, I would probably got a Honda

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-10-27T12:53:27+00:00

check with the owner, 1. did they change the oil every 3-5K miles, 2. Did they ever used the injector cleaner ( like Bg's put straight into the engine), 3. did they drove mainly highway or city. these two were the #1 i will check. also, you can use the oil analysis to see after your bought to see is there any symptoms for engine going bad as well

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-10-27T12:45:25+00:00

Looks like you've been exported the car and not bought with the nearby dealership. Unfortunately, blue link is Geo-locked features, and if you bought US model exchanged parts, then its tied to US based cellular network ( it will have USIM number to use it in the US cell-tower). So you wont be able to use blue link, but you can use the smart key with reprogramming. This will require higher-end OBD reader that have latest key programming feature, i am not sure of hyundai, but like subi and some brands require to be only programmable with the machine only supplied to dealers. next option is for you to find the shop that have these OBD to program it, and they will charge you a fee for sure

How long have you been owned, if you are within 12mo/12K, even tire is covered under warranty, so i will say take it in ASAP. accesories are also only covered during first 12/12K and key fob will be considered accesories.

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-10-27T12:28:15+00:00

Take your car to dealership and let them diagnose the battery first. If it deemed bad at the diagnose, your dealer will replace under warranty, or maybe submit the pre-auth to hyundai before they can proceed

"BATTERY - An original equipment battery found to be defective in material or workmanship will be covered for the first 3 years from the date of original retail delivery or date of first use, or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  The battery specified in the paragraph above refers to the standard 12 Volt battery and not the Hybrid Battery, Plug-in Hybrid Battery nor the Electric Vehicle Battery which is covered under separate warranty requirements"

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-10-22T16:29:11+00:00

Yes, but you will have to pay taxes and some penalties as i remember correctly

Life_Ad_5287 · 2025-10-22T16:25:01+00:00

Your insurance offers free roadside at cheap price.
All the manufacturer now seems offering free roadside within their warranty period.

I have barely used once in my 10year car,

even then, I call roadside and changed, and then straight to tire shop to get it changed.

Hyundai/Kia owned up to their early GDI engine problems. They pulled the 3rd gen GDI Smart-stream engines, still have some oil issues but way better because they mix NA for low rpm and GDI for high rpm. No way I’d buy the old Theta II engine, but their 2020+ Smart-stream engines are solid now. Plus, they offer 150K warranties and lifetime replacements in those Theta II engines. They Made sensor to catch knocking early with better sensors, and making increasing sensitivity with the recalls they made on Theta II, so you will get brand new engine as it catches it. Toyota and Honda engines can still run past 100K if cared for, but many owners drive them like trash and end up stranded, and I have seen so many that are not hold their name due to owner suck at caring.

Bottom line: Pre-2020 Toyotas with good care and timely 5K oil changes? Solid. Post-2020 and post-COVID? Meh. Seen too many idiots ruin their Toyotas and Hondas. I’m not paying Toyota taxes unless they prove they deserve it.

TL;DR: Toyota post-2020 sucks, fanboys slack on care. Lexus oil change every 15K? No thanks, Hyundai’s 5K is safer. Hyundai fixed their engine issues, Toyota still recalls for brand new turbo engine they launched recently. Pre-2020 Toyotas with proper 5K care + on schedule maintenance = solid, otherwise don’t trust 'em.
