|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | The affected part is the engine and/or power train, the engine light constantly stays on. The acceleration decreases and unable to drive over 40 mph. These parts were inspected by two different car mechanics at Hyundai Car dealerships, Alexandria, VA (April May 2023) and Waldorf, MD, (June -July 2023) which they say was the gas cap. After getting a diagnostic the reading was P0 301. On August 22,2023 at 9:30am took the car to mechanical service at Hyundai In Waldorf, MD they concluded it was the gas cap, again, today the engine is on again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Car intermittently will loose power (shortly after commencement of driving). This will remedy itself by shutting off engine and restarting. This has happened 4 or 5 times within the fist 3,000 miles. This is a vehicle and traffic SAFETY issue that could cause lives! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Constantly having warning lights on, car jerking into other lanes, emergency braking randomly, brakes went to the floor and car propelled through an intersection | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Sound stopped working. No warning just stopped no alarms/alerts. First time was August 14th, 2023 less than 5000 miles. Looked up seems problem has been acknowledged but no recall. Had to reset battery for system to rest. Fuse is problematic per reports. Must happen 3 times for dealer to replace. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | -There are 3 problems. The 1st and most dangerous, is a combo of the engine, transmission, and fuel system. The 2nd is malfunctioning sensors. The 3rd is water leaking in under my glove box onto the floor mat. The car upon 3 different occasions has stopped accelerating in the middle of traffic. 1st: the car would not go past 30mph and it stuttered/ shook. I parked and turned the car off, but 5 minutes later it reset and ran "normal". The 2nd time in Dec 2022, I was on Annapolis Rd.(Maryland) at about 10pm while alone. It would not accelerate past 35mph, the check engine light came on, and the engine/transmission started shaking and stuttering. I was almost rear ended so I pulled over. The next day when I called the dealership, the car had once again reset itself. The dealer brushed me off, said the cars are so computerized that if they couldn't replicate it they couldn't fix it and said they were backed up on appointments. The 3rd time, the car stopped accelerating on the beltway as I was taking my exit home, almost got rear ended, as I was pulling off the exit and trying to pull over the car started producing white smoke and the smell of gas, the engine control system (1st time of these 3 instances) alerted to shut the car down. The gear shift would not work properly while trying to shut it off. It massively leaked gas out of the vehicle and into the oil/ oil filter. While broken down, multiple cars almost ran into it as it had shut down after a major intersection. The car almost exploded/ caught fire. It was towed to an autobody shop to be inspected as I did not trust the dealership. No repairs were made. Only an oil change and new oil filter. There was a random misfire code. But ran normally once reset. There was no damage that he inspected and called it a Lemon. The dealer has the car, and has yet to diagnose it or give me a loaner. All regular maintenance performed and all system checks have come back normal up to this point. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | This Tucson Limited has 3500 miles on it from purchase last September - 2022. Less than 1/2 mile from home and accelerating to about 35mph the engine lost power where speed reduced to about 20mph, acted like air intake was being choked. Did not see any caution lights on the dash. I coasted for 30 feet - luckily the street had no traffic - and the engine began to operate normally. I continued traveling about 2 miles and it happened again but briefly - still on town roads, continued driving and it happened once again climbing a hill. Made it part way up and power came back. Continued driving to destination another 2 miles, parked the car for about 45 minutes, came back, car started normally, drove home without incident. If this occurred on a busy road or highway I'm sure the trip would have ended in an accident. I believe this is a dangerous fault. Car is in for service now and they say the ECU was updated. Hope that corrected the problem as my wife refuses to drive it without some confidence level improvement. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | ENGINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Additionally, an unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 12,000 |
| Aug 2023 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The front windshield starting cracking from the bottom left corner ( driver's side) upto the middle of the windshield and continuing to the right going upward. There is no visible signs of and rock damage. Also the wipers blades (when turned on wiping) don't cover the windshield completely. It leaves open s o aces when in the wiping mode. This is a brand new car we bought. This is unacceptable. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson with about 15k miles on it. I have had it serviced twice for oil changes and the recommended manufacture recommended maintenance. However, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT loss in power upon acceleration with this vehicle. My new car drives very rough and this is a safety issue due to the fact when entering the interstate, the car will not increase speed as requested putting myself and others on the road in danger. Additionally, simple maneuvers like turning into cross traffic are of concern because the vehicle doesn't respond to acceleration when accelerating from 0mph as well as in stop and go traffic. There are no engine lights or codes that I can visibly notice but even in sport mode the acceleration of the vehicle is not responsive. This is a KNOWN issue at Hyundai as one local dealership offered me a service visit 6 months out because they are so overbooked with these issues. A quick Google search also brought up numerous owners experiencing similar and and escalated issues to include complete engine failure and vehicle overheating. This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately! I experience this loss of power EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE and I don't feel safe driving my new car anymore. I have mentioned this to my dealership and they are going to take a look at it today. Occasionally, the car will also indicate to me that I should keep my hands on the steering wheel when I typically drive with BOTH hands on the steering wheel. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | My signals completely stopped working. Cameras are not showing from either side mirror either. Tried turning off and turning on the car and it still does not come back on. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | ENGINE | Check Engine Light comes on randomly. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Without any warning indicator my 2022 Hyundai Tucson (11850 miles on car) stalled on the road. I received an alert on my phone from Hyundai, after the car shut down that there was a system failure. Car was towed to Pugi Hyundai dealership (where I purchased in new in Jan. 2022) and after several days I was advised the following: Cause: P0303 Cylinder #3 misfire active. Hyundai technical service Bulletin 23-FL-002H-1 addressed concern. 20DA14R1 Replace 1 GDI fuel injector which includes ((1) injector assey-fuel, (3) combustion seal ring, (1) pipe-high pressure, (4 ) k-Bolt. The dealership and Hyundai Corp. state that until the vehicle breaks down they aren't able to replace the KNOWN defective parts. Therefore, I am left driving a vehicle that WITHOUT warning can stall on the road which is a MAJOR safety risk!!!! This is absolutely not acceptable. This should be a recall! The dealership stated they can replace the remailing 3 fuel injectors for $799.00 pre-tax. I asked what batch of fuel injectors are they using and the Service Manager stated the new and improved. The old batch was discarded!!!! How is this legal?????? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Sudden braking / collision warning. Approximately 10 times in reverse at a very low speed. 2 times in forward Drive (once at a very low speed & once at approximately 30 mph). Dash constantly alternates between warnings for Uneven Roads Ahead and Slippery Roads Ahead. I took it to Brookshire Hyundai service on 7/19/23. I was told that Hyundai is aware of the problem but doesn’t know how to fix it so just take my car home and check back to see if they have a fix in a month or so. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2023 | POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | My pregnant wife’s 2022 Hyundai Tucson lost engine power while on the interstate with our 16 month toddler in the car. Luckily she was able to get off the interstate and into a safe parking lot. The car only has 23000 miles and has been kept up with Hyundai’s scheduled maintenance from their dealership. The engine is knocking and experiencing rough idle. Once I arrived I was able to read that there was an engine cylinder 2 misfire. About an hour later the “MyHyundai” app sent the same error codes. It took the tow truck driver 15 minutes to go 10 feet to the flat bed as the car would turn its self off. Incredibly dangerous for a car less than two years old. I hate that I might’ve gotten my wife and son such a dangerous vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Jun 2023 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | On two occasions, both on busy highways traveling at about 65mph the engine just quit running. Very scary but fortunately was able to drift to the side of the road and wait for assistance. The car was towed to the nearest dealer two hours from my home. After the fuel injectors were replaced it was returned to us two weeks later. It only had 9,000 miles on it. This is a very dangerous problem to just stop running with no warning. We could have been hit from behind and killed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES | It was around 7 in the morning and I was getting ready for work. My garage door was open. A neighbor started pounding on my front door telling me my garage was on fire. I opened the door from my kitchen to the garage and seen smoke but it didn't seem major. I grabbed my keys and ran outside to pull my car out of the garage. I started the car and put it in reverse. It didn't want to move so I floored it. Once I got it into the driveway I heard the neighbors yell, "Lady! Get out of the car! The car is on fire!" I jumped out and seen the car was fully engulfed and had spread to the roof of the house. I grabbed the waterhose. It was of no help so I ran into the house to get my children out. Our home and everything in it were a total loss. Also my daughters car. Two of our dogs ran away. The car has been inspected by State Farm. They stated that the fire started in the engine compartment; the right front drivers side. Electrical; most likely the ABS. There were no warnings lights or symptoms. We only had the car for 5 months, it had 8000 miles on it. The oil had been changed at the Hyundai dealership just 5 weeks prior. I have talked to numerous people with Hyundai's that have caught fire, but not a 2022 as of yet. We have signed releases for Hyundia to inspect the car in February but they have not. It is still at the local tow yard. They are also supposed to inspect the house. They have offered to buy the car back but we have not agreed. We believe we are entitled to more compensation than that. I also have videos taken by neighbors and ring doorbells. | Crash: No Fire: Yes | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | VISIBILITY/WIPER,VISIBILITY | While driving our 2022 Hyundai Tucson, with panoramic sunroof, on the highway my wife and son suddenly heard a very loud bang, like a gunshot. After pulling over an inspection of the car found the sunroof had completely shattered and there was a large hole in the roof. Fortunately, the interior fabric cover was closed otherwise they would have been showered with shattered glass while driving. When this occurred there was no indication of any flying or falling objects and inspection of the glass shards captured by the fabric cover didn't show anything but glass, no rocks, etc. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | All electrical systems proceeded to malfunction with the check engine and driver safety system warnings blaring.

After engine was shut off and given time it was restarted and vehicle operated normally. Vehicle is currently under diagnosis with service center (Huffines Hyundai McKinney). | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2023 | AIR BAGS | On 6/2/2023, my 16 year old Granddaughter was involved in a head on collision involving a driver who ran a red light. Upon impact of the two vehicles, none of the airbags in my Granddaughter's 2022 Hyundai Tucson SEL deployed. The impact was so severe that the Hyundai Tucson was totaled. My Granddaughter and her passenger's safety were severely at risk because of this malfunction!
