My vehicle has also automatically braked on the highway when there was no one in front of me. these are just two incidences that have nearly resulted in collisions on the highway.

This continued to happen until we could pull over safely and turn off the vehicle and restart. No engine light or warnings illuminated. Vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic and nothing was found. Second occurrence was 01ARP23, with exactly the same results.

| Mar 2023 | AIR BAGS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The following is an account of what happened when the SUV's brakes failed, which caused serious damage to the 2022 Hyundai Tucson (the "SUV") and also damaged two other vehicles. On February 15 in the afternoon, The SUV was traveling approximately 20-30 mph and was rolling up to a red light. There were about 6 car lengths between the SUV and the next vehicle as driver started pressing the brakes. Driver noticed the SUV wasn't slowing down so Driver started pumping the brakes and still nothing. Driver even looked down to make sure he/she was pressing the right pedal and he/she was. The SUV was getting closer and closer to the vehicle in front. Driver kept trying the brakes, pumping, flooring, everything. The SUV would not slow or stop. Driver tried to avoid the car ahead and did all driver could think of to slow and not hit the car ahead but the SUV would not slow down. The collision warning came on as the SUV struck the right of car in front of it. The emergency braking did not come on. Further, the SUV still did not stop until the tire hit the concrete barrier in the road. The airbag did not deploy. In total three vehicles were damaged as the SUV hit one which pushed it into another at the light. Hyundai corporate consumer assistance was contacted and a case opened. The case manager did the initial reach out after the complaint but has failed to return any phone messages or emails about the case for close to a month.They were told where the vehicle was and consent signed so they could inspect and it remains available for them to do so. The dealership was contacted but the person spoken to said its a corporate issue. The SUV is at a body shop and will be sent to Hyundai for mechanical issues and we are hoping they will look at least then for cause. There were no issues before the accident. No previous brake issue. The SUV is badly damaged. It is available to inspect upon request. The accident could have caused driver or others serious harm. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Towed | Unknown |

| Mar 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | twice when my car shifted from second to third gear i lost throttle response and the engine went to idle speed. when i shut the vehicle off and restarted it worked | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | 2022 2.5L HTRAC Tucson (Current Mileage: 27,088) This issue became notably clear roughly around the 12,000-to-15,000-mile mark on the vehicle. It's also worth mentioning that since month one of ownership, the vehicle has displayed some unnatural characteristics. Under hard throttle the engine created a tone that was very much discomforting and not confidence inspiring. It was abundantly clear the engine struggles to move this heavy AWD vehicle. The vehicle is so aggressive when it comes to shifting up to the next gear, I find myself doing 38-40 mph and the vehicle would be in 8th gear. When I would try to accelerate naturally the vehicle growls and vibrates and makes crunchy sounds as it struggles to accelerate against 8th gear. It's gotten so loud it can be heard over the AC and low volume radio. It's across the board as well, this issue occurs at highway speeds down to neighborhood driving. It will wholistically shift into too high of a gear whenever its possible, and the only way to prevent this experience is to manually shift the vehicle. This demonstrates that the driver is smarter in shifting requirements over the TCU. Furthermore, the gas milage for the first 12-to-15,000 miles failed to meet the specified expectations, additionally, the computer is aggressive in its calculations for the achieved MPG, and hand calculations tend to show they are off by 2 to 3 mpg consistently. I took the opportunity to change the oil in the vehicle early (1,500 miles) knowing that break in periods could have small metal build up as components seat and find their mark etc. To my Suprise, I was met with a substantial (in my opinion) amount of rolled metal material and metallic material in the oil. I took pictures and videos and decided to continue to change the oil every 2,000 miles to document changes. Currently the vehicles last oil change was at 25,000 miles and there is still a concerning amount of metallic material and occasionally rolled pieces of metal during oil changes. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE | I was driving on the highway with my ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and Lane Keeping Assistance on. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise from the engine. My vehicle was slowing down and was not able to accelerate. As I was pulling my vehicle on the side of the road, I saw oil warning light and check engine light on at the dashboard. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2023 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | No audio from all speakers. This issue is recurring and requires the vehicle to be brought to the service department for repairs. There is a Hyundai technical service bulletin issued #22-be-008h. I have experienced two incidents since purchasing the vehicle. I only have 1931 miles on the vehicle. Each incident I have waited over 2 weeks to have the vehicle looked at and diagnosed. I am now waiting on a part (external amplifier) that is on back order. Without sound none of the safety warning features that are relayed through the speakers are available to me while driving. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was pulling out of a parking lot when my auto-braking activated. There was absolutely nothing anywhere around my car. I was entering a 2 lane road with zero traffic on it at that moment. When I pressed the gas pedal the brakes stayed locked. I quickly pressed the brake pedal at which time it released the brakes. I was then able to accelerate freely. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | STRUCTURE,VISIBILITY | 1. I had an issue with my new Hyundai: rear driver side window just shattered with no reason. 2. It's happened what car was in parking spot and glass does not hurt anyone, but it could happen on a highway with worst consequences. 3. I believe it was kind of factory defect or so, but local dealership doesn't agree with me, they didn't even inspect it. 4. There were no signs that this going to happen, window was just fine all the time, and the day before incident, and the same day in the morning. Also I have video recording from outdoor surveillance cameras of the moment when it's happened if you would like to take a look. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES, AIR,SERVICE BRAKES | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 70 MPH down a mountain, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle started vibrating abnormally. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that the front brake rotors hot spots. The rotors were turned. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 76,000 |
| Feb 2023 | SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE | On Tues Feb 7, 2023, I was traveling at approx 6:50 pm on a suburban street at the posted 35 mph limit. My car started to lose speed, slowing to 27, then about 22-24 mph. I felt as though the engine was misfiring for an unknown reason. Since I was approaching an intersection and needed to make a left-hand turn, I started to depress the brake pedal. With no oncoming traffic, I slowed not quite to a stop, made the turn, but then had extreme difficulty getting the car to accelerate, again with the engine sputtering, chugging like a misfire, and shaking. My vehicle did not seem to go beyond 15 mph, and slowed again as I turned into my destination, about 2-3 blocks from the intersection. I parked and locked the car and was in a store for approximately 10 minutes. When returning to my vehicle, it would not start-the brake pedal could not be depressed at all, it appeared extremely hard. After 1-2 minutes of gently tapping the brake pedal, it loosened and I started the car. I put the car in reverse and it stopped in the middle of the parking lot with cars almost hitting me. I saw Engine Warning lights, Battery Warning lights, and a quick message across the screen but was unable to capture the meaning. After several more attempts, the engine started but was shaking violently, but I could not go beyond 3 mph. The shaking was so strong, items on the passenger seat shifted on the floor. I chose to remain in the parking lot and call Hyundai Bluelink. Since it was dark, I remained in the vehicle with the engine running, but excessive smoke billowed from the rear of the car. It was towed to Gerald Hyundai in North Aurora. After 3 days the dealer could not find any issue, however, I refused to take the car back, as I could recall it misfiring in previous weeks but unfortunately dismissed it. I requested a Technical Case File be opened at the Dealer. I still do not have my car after 1 week. This is a very serious issue and I am aware other owners have experienced it as well. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle was intermittently decelerating and was unable to accelerate to exceed 42 MPH, despite depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 4,000 |
| Feb 2023 | STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,LANE DEPARTURE | I was driving and as I tried to turn a corner the steering wheel locked and became extremely difficult to steer. A few warning symbols came up on the dashboard. All of the lights for the advance driver assistance systems came on. I could not steer the car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2023 | POWER TRAIN | My car has 7000 miles on it. Three times now when trying to accelerate the RPM went up to 3000 RPM and the engine acted as if it was hitting a Rev limiter. The car slowed down to approximately 10 mph. One was pulling out of my driveway interning a intersection and the others was when I was merging onto a major highway. All three times I was barely able to make it to the side of the road. I shut the car off and restarted it and everything was OK. The incidents happened a couple weeks apart. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2023 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The car completely stalled while in the middle of driving. I was on the interstate and was unable to go at appropriate speed, making it dangerous for other drivers. This is the second time that this has happened. The first time, the dealerships said that it was a faulty fuel injector, and replaced it. However, 2 months later, the same problem occurred again. Because I wasn't in an accident, the car was not inspected by anyone other than the dealer. I did not receive any warning lights or symptoms. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2023 | VISIBILITY | I was driving down the road with no other vehicles around me when there was a loud popping sound. it was so loud it made my ears ring and i jerked the steering wheel a little to the left but i luckly did not leave my lane. it just really scared me. i slowed my car down and pulled over and inspected my car and i noticed a little crack in my windshield which has a little longer. i noticed about a year ago where this same windshield had ice on the inside which i had to scrape and wipe off before i could drive it. i love my car but could there be a defect on this windshield. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
