I have a new Tucson Hybrid SEL with just over 1,500 miles on it. When in 1st & 2nd gear, I'm hearing a strange noise coming from the engine, almost like a knocking kind of sound. Not sure if it's the engine or transmission. It's especially pronounced under load... going up a hill, etc. It might be my imagination, but it seems to be getting worse. I'm bringing it in to the dealer but just curious if anyone else has heard this sound. It's quite noticeable in the car but harder to pick up on video. Here is short clip.

Definitely need to take that into the dealership and have that looked at. Have the service manager ride with you to duplicate. There was another thread where a bunch of people found that some of the undercarriage panels were loose. Don't know if this is same thing but it's definitely not normal.

it almost sounds like transmission to me. Try with the tachometer showing and document the rpms and manually shift the in various and see if it is a certain gear versus a certain rpm

Definitely not the transmission it’s the engine you can hear it when it transitions from EV to Gas engine

My car same noise it sucks and is pissing me off!

When it switches from ICE to EV does the transmission get bypassed and its direct power from the EV or does ii still use the transmission in EV mode? I always just figured the transmission was making the EV more efficient.

NOT THE TRANSMISSION ITS THE ENGINE

The electric motor is on the engine which goes through the transmission

The electric motor is mounted between the engine and transmission, in place of a torque converter. The electric motor always launches you and he ICE kicks in when they synch up. That is why "hole shots" are not very smooth . You can mash on the gas all you want, but until the ICE kicks in, you won't get good launching power. Unless you are in low traction situations, you will likely never break traction. Most times when not in EV mode, both sources are providing power through the transmission.

I brought the car in to the dealership to have it looked at but the experience was comically bad. The master tech and I drove it together. He heard the noise but said he didn't think it sounded bad or concerning. I told him the noise wasn't there when I first started driving so it must be something. He THEN admitted this was the first 2022 Tucson Hybrid he's had in the shop and wasn't sure what the engine was supposed to sound like. He said when a new one comes into the dealership he'll test drive that one to have something to compare mine too. Ridiculous. He put the car up on the lift and did not see any evidence of oil, and the oil was at the right level on the dip stick. He then suggested I try putting in premium gas to see if that helps. I told him I refuse to do that b/c the car's manual does not call for premium. He suggested I try once just to see if I notice a difference. I said I'd only do that is the dealership pays for that tank of gas. He told me to drive it for a few more weeks to see if I notice any difference and that by then they should have a new Hybrid come in that he can test drive. The whole thing was absurd. I'm going to bring it into a different dealership to have it looked at by someone else.

Have them looks at the transfer case. I had a similar sound and it turned out to be a loose bearing on the Transfer case.

I have an engine noise Tucson Blue started making engine noises at 1200 miles brought it to dealer requested a ride along the service writer who is an idiot said the noise is normal? Then they tell me it will be a 3-4 hour wait what? I made an appointment with the “service manager” for 10:00 and they want me to wait?

Went to the dealer spoke with Service Writer “Ex McDonald’s Worker” about The Engine noise without looking at or hearing the noise he said and I quote that’s normal what? The Level of in competence is astonishing 😀
