| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | I have had 2 failures of the EGR valve. The first was covered under warranty. Hyundai is refusing to cover the second repair even though I think it should be covered under the 80,000 mile federal emissions warranty. The vehicle currently has 73,000 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | engine light #2 GDI injector at 60,900 miles been repaired but not under warranty out at 60,000 miles | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | STEERING | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving 15 MPH, the vehicle jerked right and inadvertently drove into a snowbank. The vehicle was taken to the residence and then towed to a dealer, where the failure could not be duplicated. The contact had not sustained injuries, and a Police Report was not filed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 30,200. | Crash: No Fire: No Towed | 30,200 |
| Feb 2026 | ENGINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a misfire in the engine, and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with engine cylinder failures. The contact was informed that the cylinders needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 55,000 |
| Feb 2026 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | When My wife was driving our car on the highway today to work, the car suddenly threw a "check hybrid system - pullover safely" light when she was at highway speeds. She was able to luckily pull over quickly onto the shoulder before the car completely powered down. This is incredibly dangerous. She had to click on the reset 12 volt hybrid battery button in the car to get it started again but the complete loss of power at highway speed was very upsetting. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | We brought our 2022 Hyundai Tucson into our local Hyundai dealership under warranty for Technical Service Bulletin MISFIRE DTC (P030X) – INTERNAL GDI INJECTOR LEAK REPAIR. We were surprised to learn the dealership did not have the parts in stock considering this is a widely known issue and we incurred significant expenses while waiting for the vehicle to be repaired. Expenses incurred: $211.47 for Enterprise car rental (2026 Hyundai Sonata) from 1/19/26 to 1/23/26 $140.00 to have the vehicle towed to the dealership since it could not be driven $18.14 for Uber to local rental car agency Total out-of-pocket expenses: $369.61 All documentation was presented to Hyundai corporate, but we have been waiting 3 weeks and the company has not reimbursed or provided any update. On a related note, to avoid the inconvenience of having to bring our vehicle in again for another known issue, we asked if the current recall on our vehicle could be completed while our car was in the shop for the week, but we were advised that our vehicle did not have any recalls. However, according to NHTSA.gov, there is an existing safety recall that was issued more than 2 months ago on December 19, 2025 (NHTSA Safety Issue ID #25V893000 / Hyundai recall #290). The fact that we were told there were no recalls on our vehicle is unsettling and this experience has us seriously reconsidering if we will be purchasing another Hyundai again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | I was driving down the highway going about 60-65mph with cruise control and LKA on. I turned my blinker on to switch lanes, checked my blind spot, and moved over to the left. As I was doing so, a semi switched lanes from the left into the right (my new lane) right in front of me. The truck then slowed down a lot, and usually my Forward Collision Warning would say something if my Adaptive Cruise Control isn’t on (or is and I’m just going too fast to slow down) neither of those things happened. No warning. No automatic brakes. No slowing down. I tried to engage the brakes manually but nothing happened. I slammed into a semi at around 60mph because of 3 different system failures. Not only did I hit the semi at 60mph, apparently my brakes didn’t work at all and I spun out until I hit the concrete barrier on the highway. If my brakes had engaged automatically, I could have slowed down enough to avoid the collision altogether. And if they had engaged manually I could have at least minimized the damage to my vehicle (and myself) because I wouldn’t have hit the concrete barrier as well. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 1 Towed Medical attention | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | POWER TRAIN | I am submitting this complaint due to a potential safety-related engine failure that occurred while my vehicle was under dealership repair. My vehicle was dropped off at Huffines Hyundai on October 2, 2025, for a fuel injector issue and has remained under the dealership’s exclusive possession since that date. I have not driven or had access to the vehicle after drop-off. During the repair process, I was informed by dealership staff that an injector was seized in the fuel rail and difficult to remove. Although the injector replacement was documented as a short repair, the work was delayed and completed on October 16, 2025. Immediately following this repair, on October 17, 2025, the engine was documented by the dealership as having low compression. I was not notified of this condition until October 27, 2025. The engine damage occurred while the vehicle was under dealership control and immediately following a repair involving seized components. The diagnostic documentation provided to me is incomplete and does not include compression PSI values or supporting data. I am concerned that improper repair or handling may have caused internal engine damage, resulting in a condition that could lead to engine failure or unsafe operation. Due to the circumstances and lack of transparency, I do not feel the vehicle is safe to operate and am concerned about the risk of engine failure. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have had numerous issues with fuel Injectors failing. The first incident was about 30,000 miles. This was fixed by the manufacturer not even 10,000 miles later, I once again had to return the vehicle, to be inspected by the dealership. Instead of replacing all of the fuel injectors at the same time they chose to only replace one. As soon as my car went over the 80,000 mile warranty limit, my fuel injectors went out once more. My mechanic son, has also changed several as well. I had to tow it, 100 miles to the Hyundai dealership, as I live in a rural area. I was told by a young lady, at the dealership, that it was be covered under the engine warranty, which is 100,000 miles. They weren’t even able to look at the car for a week charged me $250 for a diagnosis… After a week 1/2 dealership finally told me it would be over $3000 to repair.. NO! I had to pay to tow it back. I’ve been without a vehicle for five months. When the fuel injectors went out, it also damaged the high-pressure fuel rail, the high pressure fuel pump, and various sensors. This is dangerous, I live in a very rural area. It stopped operating out of the blue. It chugged/bumped a few times, and it was dead. This is inconvenient, and It’s dangerous, especially during the winter time where temperatures reach -20 regularly and no cell phone signals. I believe Hyundai is well aware, of the problem. In fact the service manager had mentioned that the parts were on backorder because apparently they are in quite high demand. No fuel injector should be going out in 15,000 or 20,000 miles, causing systemic failure. Hundai has made no effort to redesign failed parts. It’s quite disheartening, to replace/repair with a new defective part. That is going to go bad, in just a few thousand miles!! Im retired, on a fixed income. I bought new, so I wouldn’t have issues. Paying new prices, to drive junk. I’d just drop it off @ dealers, and walk away.. But the loan, is so upside down that isn’t even possible. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | When getting onto the highway on November 30, 2025, the engine on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson made an odd sound, acceleration was compromised and the check engine light came on. My husband was driving and he safely navigated us off the highway and back to our home via city streets. We were very concerned we were going to break down on the highway or city street during a cold time of year. The next day we had the vehicle towed to a local auto service center and they diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel injector. They stated this was a known issue by Hyundai. The auto service center ordered the fuel injector kit to make the repair, but they were only allowed to repair the failed fuel injector, not all of them. I'm concerned another fuel injector will fail. If Hyundai knows about the fuel injector issue why haven't they issued a recall? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | TRAILER HITCHES | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the driver’s and passenger’s side turn signals were flashing quickly. No warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the driver’s side and passenger’s side turn signals failed to properly illuminate. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with a short-circuited wiring harness, which caused the junction box to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. Upon further investigation, the contact stated that the Part Number: CWF61-AU000; was installed previously by the same local dealer; however, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign: 25E091000 (Trailer Hitches). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 64,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 64,000 |
| Jan 2026 | AIR BAGS | The contact owned a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 25-30 MPH, another vehicle struck the front driver side, flinging the vehicle to the right side before another vehicle crashed into the front passenger side. The air bags failed to deploy. No warning light was illuminated. The contact's husband sustained back injuries, while the contact suffered a concussion. Medical attention was received for both. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard, where it was deemed totaled by the insurance company. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 46,000. | Crash: Yes Fire: No Injuries: 2 Towed Medical attention | 46,000 |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The fuel door would not open, preventing me from refueling the vehicle. I had to purchase a new fuel door actuator and have the vehicle towed to a repair shop, which caused a significant inconvenience. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The fuell door will not open on the vehicle, and I am not able to put gas in the vehicle. Have taken it to a mechanic and he is unsure of what is going on. For a 2022 Vehicle this seems very odd. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The fuel injectors in the car keep misfiring causing the car to shake while driving, be loud and idle hard. In the past I have already replaced two different fuel injectors and now this is a third one that needs replaced. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | Brake lights, hazard lights, and turn signals in the back of the car stopped working. Took vehicle into Glenbrook Hyundai dealer in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the dealer confirmed the problem is caused by the open safety recall. No remedy exists yet, so dealer charged me diagnostic fees for recall-related work. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2026 | AIR BAGS | Airbag indicator came on around 62000 miles. Was told by Hyundai technician that it cost $2100 plus to replace part. Hyundai has known problems with airbags. Did this extend to my model? Have others had similar problems? | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | The contact owned a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact's neighbor knocked on the contact's residential door and informed the contact that the contact's vehicle was on fire.

The vehicle was condemned a total loss by the insurance company. The fire inspector informed the contact that the fire started in the engine near the battery. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,500. | Crash: No Fire: Yes Towed | 76,500 |
| Dec 2025 | BACK OVER PREVENTION | It has randomly stopped working, I wasnt in any accidents. One day it just stopped. This could easily cause an accident, if I was driving with kids and needed the extra warning. Or if I couldn't see. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ENGINE | While operating the vehicle, the engine shut down. Complete loss of power. Engine would restart, stall and then not restart. Vehicle immobile. Vehicle towed to dealership since could not be driven. Strong smell of gasoline. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The horn stopped working. This is a huge safety concern. In a busy intersection unable to warn other drivers not paying attention to the road since horn does not work. This started few days prior with only high tone working, but not low tone (which is very hard to hear from other vehicles since not very loud), then after couple of days no horn at all. Looking online this seems to be a known issue with multiple hyundai cars (venue, tucson, santa fe, elantra etc) and some of them apparently had had to get their horns replaced multiple times since they keep being replaced with defective horn units, yet it is for some reason not a recall yet. Could you please investigate into this? I think there should be a recall for defective horn units. Huge safety concern, accidents could be prevented by fixing this | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | Vehicle randomly activated automatic emergency braking and the forward collision warning with no other vehicles in sight. The vehicle slammed on the brakes almost causing a trailing car to rear end our vehicle. This has happened 5 times with speeds between 40 and 80 mph over the past 4 weeks. Conditions were cloudy. Problem has not been reproduced by the dealorship. No inspections have occurred. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2025 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that upon shifting to reverse(R) and depressing the brake pedal, the engine revved and the vehicle accelerated unintendedly. The contact continuously depressed the brake pedal, and the vehicle made a 360-degree turn and almost struck three vehicles. The contact was able to stop the vehicle after several attempts, and the contact parked the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stopped driving the vehicle due to safety concerns. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 47,005. | Crash: No Fire: No | 47,005 |
| Dec 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The vehicle comes with a panoramic sunroof and there is a ~8inch wide piece of glass that is between the windshield and the sunroof. While driving on the highway, at approximately 80mph, with no other cars or hazards in front of the vehicle, this piece of glass shattered. We heard a loud popping sound, immediately followed by shattering/cracking noises. It was not struck by any rocks or debris. After arriving at my location, the vehicle was immediately inspected at a Hyundai dealership where the determined the damage to be a manufacturing defect. This damage decreases the structural integrity of the vehicle and subjects it to water and electrical damage. There are multitudes of similar reports on forums across the internet. The damage currently remains present on the vehicle and photos have been taken. The damage has been assessed by two Hyundai dealerships but an insurance claim has not been filed as I am currently seeking the damage be covered under the basic 5yr/60,000 mile warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While driving our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited with the 2.5L engine and about 39,000 miles, the check engine light suddenly came on. Right away the car started behaving strangely. The throttle response became jerky and uneven, and when idling the engine ran at a higher RPM than normal and sounded off. The vehicle also struggled to accelerate, which made it feel unsafe to drive. Thankfully this happened while we were not on the highway, but if it had occurred while merging or keeping up with traffic, it could have been dangerous. Even in city driving, the jerky response and slower acceleration created risk. What would normally be a safe turn across or into traffic could easily have turned into a slower, delayed turn and a potential accident. When we got home, I checked the code and it said it was a cylinder misfire on cylinder 3. The car had been regularly serviced at the dealer and had never shown signs of this issue before. Based on the symptoms, I suspect it may be related to the fuel injectors, but we haven’t been able to get the vehicle in for inspection because local dealers are backed up. One dealer even told us it was fine to keep driving as long as the check engine light wasn’t blinking, which feels concerning given the way the car is performing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
