| Jul 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES | On XXX, while approaching a stop sign, the vehicle did not engage the brakes as expected. I had to press the brake pedal multiple times, and the vehicle jerked several times before it came to a stop. Given that a brake failure of this kind poses an immediate risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road, I had the vehicle towed in for service right away. I took the vehicle to Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa (3810 W Hillsborough Ave, Tampa, FL 33614) on Monday, XXX (Repair Order #XXX). Service Advisor Dominick DeLeva documented the complaint and had the vehicle test driven. The dealership's notes state that the issue could not be duplicated, no fault codes were present, and the brake fluid level was correct. A multi-point inspection was also completed. The vehicle was returned to me on July 14, 2026, with no repairs made and no explanation for the braking irregularity I experienced. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Phantom braking while driving under a bridge. No cars around but Tucson warned collision while driving under a bridge and slammed on the brakes! This has happened multiple times. This fake safety feature is actually a hazard! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | When driving have been reviving a warning that says adaptive cruise control failure followed by a short time were the car may unexpectedly break on the interstate. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I became aware of a Technical Service Bulletin that Hyundai published in Jan 2025 acknowledging that many vehicles (of which mine is one) have a faulty fuel injector and it will fail. Hyundai elected to not issue a recall on this issue so the public has no idea they are driving vehicles that are just awaiting for a malfunction in their engine. It appears the reason Hyundai is doing this is because fuel injectors are only covered on the manufacturer’s limited 5-year 60,000-mile warranty so they are hoping the faulty injectors last long enough to get beyond that point and customers don’t know the injectors were even faulty to begin with (because TSBs are not public knowledge). Hyundai can then charge for full repairs and omit admittance that the injectors were faulty and blame it on wear and tear. Mine failed beyond 60,000 miles and I am in this predicament. I imagine most customers with 2022 vehicles have not driven as much as me and haven’t had this come up. It seemed like something I should inform someone about. Do with this what you wish | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | My 2022 Hyundai Tuscon came to a complete stop on the highway in Colorado twice in the last 2 months for no apparent reason. There weren't any obstacles or cars in front of me that would have caused the car to brake suddenly. I had passengers in the car and we were jolted forward. The air bags did not inflate and we were not hit from behind, but we could have been severely injured or killed. There are numerous "phantom braking" reports like this here on the NHTSA site for the 2022 model as well as more recent models. Yet Hyundai has only issued recalls for the 2025 and 2026 models. How are you addressing this issue? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Fuel door actuator failed to unlock had to take the car into the dealership to replace a malfunctioning actuator. Left me stranded at a gas station unable to fuel the car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On 3 occasions over my 18-month ownership of this certified pre-owned Hyundai 2022 Tucson, the vehicle surged suddenly forward WITH BRAKE APPLIED at creeping (parking) speeds of 3-4 mph. No warning lamps were observed. On the most recent (3rd) occasion, a crash over a sidewalk and into a storefront caused $10,000 damage. No pedestrians were harmed, no airbags deployed and neither passenger was harmed. The service department is "unable to duplicate" the surging behavior and declares the car mechanically "safe to drive." | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | My 2022 Hyundai Tucson Experience, a sudden transmission failure at approximately 92,520 miles. The vehicle develop shifting issues and abnormal noises before losing propulsión. While driving. Hyundai diagnosed and internal Transmission failure and approved transmission replacement. I’m concerned about the sudden loss of proportion and the safety risk this creates. Hyundai proposed repair is to replace the transmission with a rebuild remanufacture transmission rather than a new transmission. I am concerned about the reliability of the repair following a complete transmission failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | I am submitting this complaint regarding my 2022 Hyundai Tucson equipped with the 2.5L engine. The vehicle has experienced multiple incidents of severe engine misfiring while driving. During these events, the engine begins to shake violently, the entire vehicle vibrates, and engine power is significantly reduced. The vehicle becomes unable to accelerate normally, creating a serious safety hazard, especially when driving on highways or in traffic. The malfunction has occurred several times. Diagnostic trouble codes P0302 and P0303 have been recorded, indicating cylinder misfires. In some cases, turning the engine off and restarting it temporarily restores normal operation. On other occasions, adding fuel system cleaner appeared to temporarily improve the condition. However, the problem eventually returns. Because the condition is intermittent, the Hyundai dealership has been unable to reproduce the failure during inspection and therefore has not performed a repair under warranty. Despite multiple visits, the root cause remains unidentified. I am concerned that the sudden loss of power and severe engine vibration could result in an accident if the vehicle is unable to maintain speed or accelerate while traveling at highway speeds. This issue has significantly affected the safe operation of the vehicle. I request that this matter be investigated, as it appears to be a recurring safety-related defect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | I was told there was a known issue with the electrical system with the front bumper harness and wiring harness need to be replaced due to water damage & Vehicle's horn keeps on going out and has to be replace | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2026 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that the fuel door had failed to open intermittently. The contact stated that the failure had progressively worsened, causing the contact to seek assistance to open the fuel door. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was being repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 50,000 |
| May 2026 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | About once a month on average my Tucson's emergency system braking comes on without an emergency. It seems to occur mostly when taking an exit on the highway, but a few times it has been completely random. All of these instances have had no other vehicles around or any roadway barriers present. When it activated, lighting comes up on my dash telling me the emergency braking is activating. Sometimes it brakes, other times it does not seem to. Mostly, it seems that if I keep pressing down on the gas pedal it just turns itself off. I've never had my car come to a complete start but I have had it hit the brakes hard a few times. I bought the vehicle brand new and have had it for 4.5 years, and it has always done this. I've had the dealership reinstall the software that controls the braking system, but it had no affect. I ask the dealer every time I go in if others are complaining about this and I am always told no. However, I saw a similar recall was just put into place for the newer years of the Tucson, and it makes me think they are told to tell people no one is complaining about this. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I have experienced the Emergency Braking System Warning and Sudden Application of my Brakes when traveling at highway speeds for what seems to be no apparent reason. I thought it had to be a glitch related to just my car; However, this has happened twice in the past month and it is an unnerving experience. As I just read about this same problem occurring in later models of my car I want to document that this same problem exists in my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Multiple DTC codes on car at 25,120 miles,32,344, 34,324, 47,484, 51,853, 53,521, Consistent Fuel Injector failing under warranty, prior to 60,000 miles and not replaced correctly, as I have had to see dealership 4 times for ineffective fuel injector replacement and consistent problem.

Caused car to engine fail in middle of driving!! *SAFETY CONCERN. I Have started multiple cases with Hyundai Motor America, and they had done nothing to report the problem or keep car for further testing and safety priority. Car is brand new, has about 66,800 miles on it now, had to replace all FUEL INJECTORS, FUEL RAIL, and now needing to replace Catalytic Converter due to Hyundai not covering issue that was consistent with Fuel Injector and initial GAS leak into Cabin. I had to visit the doctor many times due to GAS FUMES. 2025-2026-DTC codes stated under individual mechanic, and within my Hyundai Blue Link app as reading multiple DTC codes that Hyundai Refused to cover or fix initially.

| May 2026 | TRAILER HITCHES | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V893000(TRAILER HITCHES); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer and local dealer was not contact made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced the failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES | Unintended acceleration, brakes unable to stop vehicle. Almost hit a car stopped at red light. I was able steer right avoiding hitting the stopped car and quickly put the car in neutral and then applied the brakes again. I was able to drive home another 10 miles. I had the car towed on 5/18/2026 to the car dealership for inspection. This put the car stopped and me and my wife at risk of injury. Car dealership has inspected the car and can not duplicate the problem. No warning lights before the event. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | The rocker arm of the engine has failed, causing a repair for a full engine replacement. The car has always undergone maintenance timely, and upon inspection by the dealership technician, the report state the vehicle was up to adequate level. There were no symptoms before the issue occurred, only the sudden catastrophic engine failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | this recall still hasn’t been resolved. why hasn’t the manufacturer found a fix for this problem I have owned the vehicle for 4 years they should have known about this and fixed it by now. NHTSA recall number: 25V-893 Hyundai recall number: 290 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | POWER TRAIN | The issue involves the vehicle’s drivetrain and hybrid/electronic control system, where the car suddenly jerked forward in stop-and-go traffic on the freeway as if it had been struck from behind. Immediately following this event, the vehicle would not accelerate beyond approximately 40 mph, indicating a loss of normal power. This created a significant safety risk, as the sudden jerking could have led to a rear-end collision, and the inability to accelerate properly made it difficult to keep up with traffic on the freeway. I was barely able to safely pull off the freeway while surrounding traffic continued at higher speeds, increasing the risk to myself and other drivers. The problem appeared to resolve after turning the vehicle off and then back on; however, this raises concern about intermittent failure. The vehicle was taken to a dealership for inspection, but they were unable to reproduce or identify the issue. The vehicle remains available for inspection upon request. The vehicle has been inspected by a dealer but not by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. Prior to the failure, there were no warning lights, messages, or noticeable symptoms indicating an issue. Based on similar reported experiences, this event may be consistent with a “limp mode” condition or a malfunction in the transition between the electric motor and gasoline engine, potentially involving the transmission or hybrid control system. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| May 2026 | ENGINE | Check engine light appeared, Car began shaking and struggling to accelerate. Independent mechanic and OReileys test stated cylinder 3 misfirw.

THE CAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND A POWER REDUCTION BEGAN ALONG WITH SHAKING OF THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO CLEAR THE INTERSECTION SAFELY. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A SAFE SPOT AND SHUT DOWN THE CAR. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO THEN INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS AN INJECTOR KNOW ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR AND WOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY. HOWEVER, AS THIS IS A ENGINE/POWERTRAIN PROBLEM, IT SHOULD BE COVERED ON THE 100,000/TEN YEAR WARRANTY. A TSB (23-FL-002H-1) ALERT HAD ALREADY BEEN ISSUED, BUT NOT A RECALL. MANY OWNERS HAVE REPORTED HAVING THIS PROBLEM REPEATEDLY, AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A KNOWN MFG DEFECT. WHEN IS THE GOVERNMENT GOING TO STEP UP AND DEMAND A REAL FIX BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED? OWNER ARE CURRENT LEFT FIGHTING WITH THE DEALERS OVER THE WARRANTY LIMITS OR TAKING LEGAL ACTION. IF YOU GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM, YOU CAN FIND OUT THE NATIONAL LEVEL OF THIS PROBLEM, FROM ACCIDENTS WHICH CAUSED FIRES OR ACCIDENTS FROM POWER LOSS. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING ON PARTS. ITS TIME TO FORCE A RECALL! I WILL BE DEMANDING THAT IT IS COVERED FOR THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD AND CONSIDERING TAKING ACTION UNDER THE LEMON LAWS. IF THE GOVERNMENT FAILS TO ACT ON THIS SOON, THAN THEY ARE JUST AS LIBEL AS THE MANUFACTURER. YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION TO THIS ISSUES IS REQUESTED. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
