The documented failure patterns on used Hyundai Tucsons — the mileage window where each shows up,
and what the repair typically costs at an independent shop. This is the same data NoLemon's Brief checks
against every VIN.
Same Theta II bearing-failure pattern. Listen for bottom-end knock at cold start; verify recall/campaign completion by VIN.
BEFORE YOU BUY Ask for repair records covering this item. If it hasn't been addressed and the
car is in or near the mileage window, price the $3,000–$5,500 repair into your offer — or make it the seller's problem.

7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) hesitation
The 7-speed dual-clutch hesitates or briefly loses drive when pulling away, especially uphill or in stop-and-go; Hyundai recalled 2016 models for a software fix and replaced many clutches under warranty. Test drive from a stop repeatedly — any lag, shudder, or transmission-hot warning is a real problem, not a quirk.
