| 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 |
| Jan 2023 | AIR BAGS,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | 12/02/2022 while parking the vehicle in a parking spot in a parking garage, vehicle suddenly lurched forward causing the vehicle to hit the parking garage cement wall. This caused him to hit his head very hard on the steering wheel. The air bag deployed after he hit his head. The Air Bag did not protect him. He did not hit the accelerator pedal, and the vehicle accelerated by itself, which caused it to hit the parking garage wall. Shortly after this occurrence; he was at the Post Office, to drop mail in the mail box, and he very slightly removed his foot from the brake pedal to move the vehicle up a foot or two, and the vehicle lurched ahead approximately four to six feet. Again, he did not hit the accelerator pedal. Luckily, there was no other car in front of him or the vehicle might have hit it. Prior to the self acceleration of the vehicle in the parking garage and at the Post Office, this issue occurred while he was driving on the highway. He was going 55 mph and the vehicle suddenly went 75 mph. He was at a place where there is an exit, and he would not go that fast at this particular area. He explains he did not accelerate the car himself. He was so concerned about the vehicle self accelerating that he immediately got off of the highway to look under the hood to see if there was some explanation for this. We addressed this issues with the Hyundai dealer. On 01/06/2023, according to the report from them they drove the vehicle around their building and then looked for engine or transmission, and they said there were none. | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2023 | STEERING,LANE DEPARTURE | 2022 Hyundai Tuscon abruptly locks steering wheel while driving to the point you cannot turn the steering wheel. Many different types of warnings appear on the dash from blind spot warning to front end collision. luckily, we were going at a moderate speed, I was driving and forced the wheel to turn enough to get off the road. If this happens to a woman while driving, they will most likely not be able to turn the wheel at all with zero control of the vehicle. Extremely dangerous life-threatening situation, and dealer has been notified. The vehicle has to be towed as it's a major safety risk. This has happened 3 times and the dealer has record of the fault codes but do not know what the problem is at this time. vehicle only has 16,000 miles on it. when this happens, I can turn off the vehicle and let it power down a minute or two and re-start it and all dash lights are gone and the vehicle is fine again. most certainly a faulty very dangerous electrical system problem in my opinion. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2022 | SUSPENSION,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES | The car has been erratic in its performance since purchase. The car has a continuous issue with the suspension, electronic system, and brakes. I have reached out to Hyundai manufacturer on numerous occasion regarding the car and no one is addressing my concerns. The car drives so erratic and unpredictable that I am fearful that someone will be injured or worst. Attached is a photo of the entire system going offline, which occurs all the time, and because the whole care is computerized this poses a safety risk for me and others on the road. When the car goes offline, I no longer have control of the vehicle and all mechanical systems are down. Please help me to get this issue resolved before someone gets hurt. This is the second submission in regard to this car. 5nmjfcae4nh015882 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2022 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving from a stationary position the vehicle switched to safe mode and suddenly decelerated, and would not accelerate above 20 - 27 MPH. During the failure, the message "Limited to 20 MPH" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on multiple occasions but the failure could not be duplicated. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500. | Crash: No Fire: No | 1,500 |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The vehicle lost acceleration just as I was getting on the freeway ramp. It would move but slowly. I put emergency lights on, drive on the side and crept off the next exit and pulled into parking lot. Shut the vehicle off and checked tires, gas pedal, under hood. All seemed ok. I started the car and it started moving and then went back to hardly moving. I was near the dealership when this happened so took it to dealership/ service. It has had a few episodes we’re it seemed something was wrong with the car prior to this. A dragging or not shifting into gear as it should were I have pulled over to see if my tire had gone flat or something. Then it goes away. Also clock kept running slow loosing a minute every few days. Hyundai service could not get the car to repeat the incident. They ran a scan and codes were ok. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | The automatic emergency braking has numerous false alerts, several times each day. The problem seems to be worse when a vehicle travelling the same direction in a different lane slows. The problem also appears when the Tucson's own shadow shifts directly in front of the car near sunrise and sunset when longer shadows are present. The car will brake hard though there is no risk of forward collision. This creates a danger as vehicles behind my own cannot anticipate this sudden hard braking, thus increasing the risk of a rear end collision. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | VISIBILITY | I bought my brand new car about 4 months ago. When i bought the car it was raining and i mentioned about the driver side wiper not working properly. They told me i have warranty and just bring it in when i can. I made an appointment and i have been there 2 times with same issue. The issue is the wiper skips on the windshield and makes loud bang when it goes to the left of the wndshield. I changed the factory wipers to brand new $30.00 Bosch and they same thing happened until 2 weeks the wiper finally just broke. I am on my 4th driver side wiper since i bought the car brand new 4 - 5 months ago. All i ask them is to replace the wiper arm but they told me until there is a recall they cannot replace it. Even though they see the issue. I cannot drive my suv if it rains out and in florida it rains everyday. The wiper just skips while making loud screacing noise. The Advisor told me that universal hyundai sold me the car without the lining on the windshield and idk what that means. I take my car to same dealer i bought the suv at. Please have a solution so i can get this fixed. Thank You | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I bough my new suv around 4 to 5 months ago. Since i bought it and this only happened about 3 times. I was on highway and with no cars on the highway and myself going 70 the collision in the front came on and emergency breaking saying im about to hit something. But nothing was there. This also happened when i reversed too. The brakes would slam on saying collision. Also when im driving in a straight line the lane detection moves me in the middle of the road to the white lines are under my car and i am driving on 2 lanes. It keeps trying to move me over to other lane even though im in the correct lane. I have almost got into like 7 accidents. I already brought my car to the dealer and they told me there is no fix for that. I am not the first to come in saying the same thing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Purchased this vehicle 12/2021 it hesitated on pick up but drove good after that nice look but the headlights are bad at night. First month I had a bad scare as when attempting to stop the brakes gave out, I had to pump multiple times to get the car to stop, this happened again about 1 month ago. On 10/10/22 while attempting to park in my driveway which is on a hill the car did not want to accelerate when pressing the gas and many lights turned on the dashboard. Warning, check engine, brake, front collision, etc. I have not had any accidents for the collision light to be on anyways. I turned the car off and restarted it I even disconnected the battery but still nothing the car has power because it does turn on and the lights, radio work but it just would not accelerate. I'm on a very dangerous hill lucky this happened late night when not much vehicle traffic. The next morning 10/11/22 around 10 am Hyundai came to pick up the vehicle. I passed by that day around 4 pm to see what was going on. They had not checked it yet which is understandable we ask the guy when he thought it would be checked out and he responded that towed vehicles take longer to be checked, we asked for a loner and they said they did not have. Saturday 10/15/22 went again, the car was still in the same spot not looked at yet, today 10/19/22- 1 week and 1 day they have not checked the car and we were told they had a lot of cars to work on and we were far down on that list. So basically they will probably take 2-3 weeks to even look at it and if any parts are needed it would probably take another month and without a loner. So we the paying clients have to figure it out. This is very unacceptable not to mention how scary it was for the car to completely give out on a hill thank god no one was driving or walking behind me. I have been driving for 29 yrs and have never experienced something like this. This car can potentially be deadly specially to a new driver. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Initial incident happened in June 2022; car under 5k miles. When slowing down at a light, car suddenly started to shake and engine would shut off. Dashboard warning indicated place in neutral and start car again. After restart, car would still turn off, unable to move or shift gears without shutting down. After keeping engine off for a few minutes, car was driveable again but a sound coming from engine when in D while at a light. Brought to dealership in Woodbridge, VA but was told they were unable to replicate incident. 2nd incident occurred in October 29, 2022. At a light, car was going to auto shut off while at light but then lurched, shook violently and engine shut off. The dashboard said place in neutral and turn engine on. Was able to move car after a few attempts and move to safe area. Let car rest for a few hours. When driving, and slowing down at a light, car would shake; i would place in Neutral and car will settle. Any time at a light, it has to be in neutral or else engine will die. Brought to dealership, added 15miles but unable to replicate. Nov 3rd, car began to lurch when at speed of 40 - 45. after stopping at a light, car would not accelarate, engine revving but little movement. had to pull over and turn engine off. Nov 5th, while on highway vehicle began to lurch at 55-60mph, engine was at 4rpm, engine struggling but speed not increasing. since on a downhill, car was moving but engine revving; speed not accelerating. Had to merge to shoulder; shut car off 2x and restart before car drove without incident. Videos of dashboard were taken during incidents in October and November. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | I bought this car less than 30 days ago, and it has 1,500 miles. I tried to start my car in the morning and when I put it in reverse, it just rolled forward. I braked and put it back in park and the engine shut off. I tried this a few more times before I gave up. A tow came and first suggested it was the alternator, before another tow came and suggested it was a sensor. It has been at the dealer for 48 hours without a diagnosis, “maybe the injectors.” I am fortunate this happened in a parking lot and not while I was on the road. I am now terrified to drive this car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2022 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ENGINE | I was leaving a drive-through. Crossing traffic when my 2022 Tuscan N-Line just stopped accelerating the engine started to shake and SUV became unresponsive. As I was crossing traffic. I was almost hit. Moved the SUV to the middle of the street. Turned the SUV off. Restarted it. The SUV had no power and the check engine light came on. The engine started shaking violently. A bad burning smell ( like) burning rubber/ plastic started, then the engine started to smoke. I turned the SUV off again. After that the SUV wouldn’t start. Had it towed to the dealer. It only has 1130 miles on it. I just bought it July 20th. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2022 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | With approximately 6552 miles on the car, 7 months after I bought it new, the Vehicle sputtered and shut off. The GDI pump was replaced. It has not runnright since. It sputters, it does not respond appropriately when the accelerator is pressed, it went into limp mode and would not go more than 35 mph. It did not throw and engine code when this happened. This is a huge problem in itself. I could be out of oil and it potentially will not throw a code or warning. When the dealer had it for 45 days they drove it approximately 100 mile and could not duplicate. It is a serious danger to my life and I refuse to drive it. I had it towed and it now sits in my driveway will the lemon law case is processing | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2022 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | I was driving when the car stopped accelerating. Then I smelled something burning. I was able to pull over and saw smoke coming from my tailpipe. After that, the engine light came on. A warning came up on the display that said, multiple possible conditions have occurred with your vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
