1-month-old Tucson's engine overheats on 100km drive: Sent to workshop

The SUV has just covered 1152 km with 90% of it in the city.

BHPian Utkarsh1907 recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

A huge problem with the Tucson 2WD Diesel signature. The car is barely a month old (bought on 10th November) and it suddenly started overheating after a 100 km drive. Smoke started coming out of the vents and subsequently, the car gave an “Engine overheated” warning. We paused for fifteen minutes and then the warning was no longer there. Tried talking to the roadside assistance, but couldn’t reach them. The next day, the problem resurfaced and now the on-site road assistance has taken the car to the workshop. Highly disappointed with such an expensive car.The car has just covered 1152 km with 90% of it in the city.

Maybe, Hyundai has given a lemon. Hopefully, they resolve it soon.

Here's what BHPian debuda had to say on the matter:

This is quite worrisome. Not expected from a costly modern car. Maybe the electric cooling fan has stopped working or there is a coolant leak. The former seems more likely. Incidentally, such failures can happen if there is a rat problem.

Do keep us posted about the actual diagnosis and rectification of the problem by Hyundai Service.
