Hyundai Tucson Persistent Particulate Problem

Since purchasing my 2023 Hyundai Tucson Elite Plus package in April 2025, I have been constantly experiencing issues with the particulate filter. Starting in May 2025, I have been receiving the “particulate warning” almost every week, and in the past month, the warning repeated three times. On the third occurrence, the engine warning light also came on, and the screen continuously displayed “check exhaust system.” On August 20, I took the car to Meteler service, where a regeneration process was performed, and I was only told to “drive the car at high RPM for 20–25 minutes.” However, under Artvin conditions, such long and high-RPM driving is not possible, and if there is a chronic issue with the vehicle, I expect the brand to stand behind it. We are satisfied with Meteler service, and the staff are doing their best, but I am dissatisfied with Hyundai for not providing a solution to this chronic problem and for disregarding customer satisfaction. It is unacceptable for a brand to remain indifferent to such issues. This vehicle is my only means of transportation; I use it to take my children to school and commute to work. Having to find another vehicle every month causes both hardship and significant financial burden. During regeneration and particulate burning drives, I consume a large amount of fuel, and I also incur travel expenses going back and forth to the service in Rize. Even though the car is under warranty, Hyundai customer service repeatedly tells me, “You need to use it this way; we cannot do anything else.” It is unacceptable that this issue persists both in city driving and on long trips. Even after a 2,000 km trip, the warning still appeared. I want a permanent solution, whether it be a part replacement or another technical intervention. My car’s license plate is 08 BB 333. I demand that my grievance be resolved and this chronic problem be permanently fixed. If this issue continues, I will complain about Hyundai everywhere and, if necessary, take the matter to court. It is unacceptable for a brand to sell a car worth over two million and then send it to service every month without standing behind its vehicle.

On September 15, 2025, I applied to the Rize Meteler authorized service for my Hyundai Tucson vehicle due to a recurring particulate warning. The vehicle was inspected until Thursday, and I was informed that regeneration needed to be performed according to the fault code, but since the problem recurred, a more detailed inspection was carried out. On Thursday, the technicians said there might be a problem with the injectors and sent them to Istanbul. Days after the inspection in Istanbul, I was told that there was no problem with the injectors and that the fault might be elsewhere, and we still have not received any definite information. Tomorrow will be the ninth day and my vehicle is still at the service center.

During this process, although my vehicle is under warranty, I have not been provided with any information or solution regarding my grievance. When Hyundai customer service calls, they ask irrelevant and inadequate questions and end the call without taking any action. I expect customer service to consist of people who can actually provide solutions and take action, rather than robots giving automatic answers. I am experiencing victimization due to my vehicle being at the service center for a long time and I cannot find anyone to address my concerns.

I demand that my vehicle be repaired as soon as possible, an explanation as to why no solution was offered during the 8 days I have been without a vehicle, and compensation for the period I will be without a vehicle from now on. I also expect customer service to be more attentive and solution-oriented.

It has been 8 days and our car is still at the service center. It was taken to the service on September 15th, and until Thursday, there was no action except for 'we are investigating.' Then, thinking there might be a problem with the injectors, the service sent the injectors to Istanbul on Thursday. They said if this is the issue, they would not wait and install new ones here. But today we learned that they were also asked to check other parts in Istanbul, and it is still unclear where the problem is coming from. If it’s not the injectors, we will have to wait for them to be sent back from Istanbul as well. For a week, I have been in a difficult situation taking my children to school and going to work myself, and it is still ongoing. It really should not take this long to genuinely solve a car’s problem. Also, no one is asking what kind of grievance it causes not to be able to use the car you paid for because of our company. I really can no longer think positively about the relevant company and people regarding this matter.

Update! It was determined that there was a problem with all four injectors of our vehicle. While we were waiting for approval for replacement under warranty, we learned that it was rejected. The company claimed the problem was due to the customer and the fuel used, even though the service center reported that the issue was not customer-related. Any mechanic you ask will not confirm that the injectors of a car with 30,000 km could be damaged due to fuel. Onur Kırkaya from Hyundai Motor and Hakan Meyveci from Rize Meteler service worked very hard to resolve our grievance, and I thank them for that. After a long process, we received approval for the injectors to be replaced under warranty. The injectors were replaced and we got our vehicle back at the end of the third week. I would also like to thank master mechanic Hızır at Rize Meteler service. During this process, both Mr. Hakan and master Hızır did their best in terms of communication and providing information. I had already stated from the beginning that the problem was with the company, not the service center.

"Sure, here is the translation of the text from Turkish to English: "Still, no one has contacted us. It is a complete garage car; we are afraid to drive it since we bought it due to the emission problem. We want this issue to be resolved so that we can drive our car confidently and without fear.""
