Problem overview

Some Hyundai Tucson owners report experiencing intermittent riding noise during acceleration, particularly in cold weather conditions. This noise may be linked to engine or exhaust issues, such as misfires, faulty spark plugs, or muffler problems. Additionally, transmission problems, including low fluid levels or a worn-out clutch, can contribute to this noise. Owners may also notice that cold weather exacerbates suspension concerns, resulting in clunking sounds on uneven surfaces. Furthermore, ignition coil problems may manifest as rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, decreased fuel efficiency, or an illuminated check engine light. It is recommended that owners have their Hyundai Tucson inspected by a mechanic to diagnose the specific cause of the noise and perform necessary repairs or replacements to ensure optimal performance.
