| Sep 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I have had 3 fuel injectors go out on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. When this happened it was completely random and my car would stall and I would be stuck on the side of the road. I have had to miss work due to this happening. They told me that they are only able to replace the broken one each time instead of replace the all 4 while covered under warranty. They also told me that fuel injectors breaking is a common problem in 2022 and newer Tucson's as they are higher pressure systems than previous models. Im worried that this is going to keep happening and I'm going to keep breaking down due to fuel injectors breaking and end up stranded somewhere. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Stopped accelerating/disabled in the middle of interstate during rush hour traffic | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Hyundai has a known issue with GDI fuel injectors. Car begins to shake and lose power and eventually will stall due to cylinder misfire caused by defective injectors. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2025 | STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,VISIBILITY/WIPER | While driving my 2022 Hyundai Tucson at highway speed, the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered with a loud “explosion” sound. There was no road debris, overhead structure, or external cause, and no warning lights or prior symptoms. The glass shows a central hole with spiderweb cracking radiating outward, which is consistent with a manufacturing defect in tempered glass panels, not an impact. The sunroof shade was closed, preventing glass from entering the cabin, but this failure created a serious safety risk to occupants and nearby drivers. This matches numerous reports of Hyundai panoramic sunroof failures and is similar to the pattern documented in NHTSA Investigation PE13-017. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Hyundai but is available for inspection. Incident occurred on [XXX], while driving from Monroe, Louisiana, to Atlanta, GA, shortly after departure. The failure created a serious safety issue, forcing us to stop at a Home Depot and perform emergency repairs using tarp and Gorilla tape to secure the roof and continue our trip safely.

| Aug 2025 | AIR BAGS,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | During a recent accident, the driver pressed the brakes but they did not respond, almost as if they locked up. Police at the scene noted there were no skid marks on the road, suggesting the brakes never engaged. The vehicle suffered major side impact damage, including broken windows and crushed passenger-side doors, but none of the airbags deployed. This raises serious concerns about a possible brake system failure and airbag non-deployment defect. The vehicle has not yet been repaired and is available for inspection. Police have reviewed the accident, and the insurance company has also seen the vehicle, but no mechanical inspection has been completed by the manufacturer. There were no warning lights or error messages prior to the failure. The safety of the driver and passengers was put at risk because the car could not be stopped and the airbags did not deploy to provide protection. | Crash: Yes Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injector failure. Car was losing power completely when pressing the gas pedal then would suddenly catch and go again. Then go very slowly with little power, almost got into an accident because of the loss of acceleration. They replaced the fuel injectors and it is now happening a second time with the check engine light coming on again. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE! SEVERAL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE!!!!!!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Unbearable Sound While Driving the Car, Causing Ear Numbness and Safety Concerns I purchased a certified pre-owned vehicle from the dealership with the expectation that it would be free from defects. On the very first day, during the drive back home, the vehicle began making a persistent rattling noise that was both distracting and concerning. The sound was so severe that it caused ear numbness within just a few minutes and made it difficult to concentrate on driving, raising serious safety concerns. Upon arriving home, I immediately contacted the dealership to report the issue but received no positive or constructive response. I reported this matter to Hyundai Motor America Customer Service on April 1, 2025. It has now been almost five months, and they have been unable to resolve the issue and mentioning its cosmetics defect. Therefore, I am reaching out to you to address this safety concern and request that precautionary action be taken against Hyundai Motor America, USA. The noise and vibration are so extreme that ear numbness occurs within 2–3 minutes of driving, making the vehicle unsafe to operate and safety concersn. Thanking you.

| Aug 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The vehicle is currently in the shop due to safety concerns involving malfunctioning exterior lighting and a serious incident of the vehicle entering limp mode. 1) With automatic headlights activated, all exterior lights shut off while driving at night, posing a significant safety risk. 2) During daylight hours, the automatic headlight system inconsistently toggles between different lamp settings, switching off and on erratically. 3) While attempting to turn left during morning rush hour traffic (on a 40 mph road where vehicles often travel 50+ mph), the vehicle entered limp mode upon acceleration. It bogged down in the middle of both lanes, unable to exceed 13 mph, placing me in a highly dangerous position. After pulling over and leaving the vehicle off for 5 minutes, the issue temporarily resolved upon restart. 4) The vehicle is stored in a garage, and following the limp mode incident, I received repeated “door unlocked” notifications every 30 minutes from 2:30 AM to 5:30 AM, though the vehicle had not been accessed. These issues are of serious concern and appear comparable to conditions outlined in Recall #149 and Recall #236, both of which address similar malfunctions related to exterior lighting and powertrain performance. VIN# currently is not within the recalls. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | While driving on highway going 65 MPH my car 22 Hyundai Tucson SEL dashboard lights turned red and shut off on the highway with no warning, was not able to put in park for 10 minutes. My safety was put at risk, the vehicle stopped mid drive on the highway with other vehicles. Dealership has not fixed or looked at the issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The fuel injectors failed on this vehicle, the vehicle’s engine light came on as I was driving and I took the car to the dealer where I purchased it from. The dealer told me.what the issue was and that they needed to keep the car because it was dangerous to drive. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and dangerous fuel injector failures on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. This is the third time this issue has occurred in less than three years of ownership. •First incident: My vehicle broke down on the side of the road while I was 10 hours away from home in Florida. This left me stranded and required towing and repairs. •Second incident: The fuel injectors failed again, though fortunately closer to my home. •Third and most recent incident: The same issue happened again, this time with my wife driving—a major safety concern. We purchased this vehicle specifically to avoid breakdowns like this and for the safety and reliability it was supposed to provide. This recurring failure is unacceptable for a newer vehicle and poses a significant safety risk to my family and other drivers. Fuel injector failure can lead to stalling in traffic or on highways, increasing the potential for accidents. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter, as it appears to be a systemic issue with this model and could lead to serious harm if not addressed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | The car keeps loosing power when it is over 90 degrees outside. On my way to work in the morning it has plenty of power but on my way home around 5 or 6 PM it struggles to gain speed. I’ve already had all the fuel injectors replaced so I don’t think it is related to that. It mainly happens when I slow down but not to a full stop around 20 MPH. Then it struggles to accelerate after that. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My fuel injectors has been blown and Hyundai will not replace all 4 when one goes out. So I have to keep going back up to the dealership to get it fixed each time. They always blow on the highway. The first time I was doing some distance driving from Columbus, OH to Dayton, OH. Then the other time happened when I was on the highway during rush hour traffic. There were no other warnings before this happens. It just happens and the engine light comes on as the steering will begins to shakes like crazy. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES | The vehicle's brake system intermittently fails after driving over bumps or uneven roads. The brake pedal becomes soft and unresponsive, and the vehicle continues rolling forward for several seconds before the brakes finally engage. This has happened repeatedly while driving home from work. On one occasion, the vehicle rolled through a red light and I had to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid a collision. This issue first became noticeable in 2022 and has worsened over time. It puts both my safety and the safety of others at serious risk. There are no warning lights or error messages before or during the failure. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. Independent mechanics have confirmed that brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels are in good condition. They suggested the cause could be air in the brake lines, a malfunctioning ABS system, or a faulty master cylinder—all potentially covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. The manufacturer’s service center initially refused to inspect the vehicle without an upfront diagnostic fee and only offered assistance after I escalated the matter through repeated complaints. The service director later described the issue as “unsettling but normal,” which is not accurate according to independent professionals. The problem has not been resolved and continues to occur regularly. I am requesting that this be formally investigated as a potential safety defect. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jul 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I’ve already had my fuel injections changed about 20,000 miles again and my car is starting to stall again check engine light on again seems to be same issue now my car is no longer under warranty. I don’t seem this problem on the recall list but this is not a problem I want to have every 20,000 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | For the second time I was driving and all of a sudden lost power and couldn’t give it gas to go. I was almost hit from behind both times. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,UNKNOWN OR OTHER | Safety issue having to replace multiple horns on the vehicle. Known issue from Hyundai America. Would like an investigation, maybe a recall. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My high pressure fuel injectors and spark plug had to be replaced at 72,000 miles. My check engine light came on and the car started vibrating and was not accelerating properly. I spoke to three Hyundai dealership service centers and each of them acknowledged that it was a known issue with 2022 Hyundai Tucsons. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While merging onto [XXX] in Southington, CT, the vehicle would not accelerate past 25 MPH which is very dangerous for merging onto an interstate highway. Luckily, my wife was able to safely pull over onto the shoulder. We shut the vehicle off for a minute, restarted it, and have had no problems since. There were no warnings, and no check engine indicator was displayed. I'll contact the dealer this month at a regular maintenance visit.

| Jun 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | FUEL INJECTORS FAILURE..... SECOND ONE IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. BROKE DOWN ON MAJOR HIGHWAY.. TOWED TO HUNDAI IN CAPE GIRARDAU AS IT IS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE ENGINE. KNOWN ISSUE,, LAST TIME THE MECHANIC TOLD US IT WAS PART OF POWER TRAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injectors. It is available for inspection. (Please!)This is the second failing of an engine, fuel or Powertrain issue. The car was in motion and suddenly just lost power. The first time it occurred about a month after purchased brand new in 2022, the car was coming from a stop light into the middle of an intersection. Driver was thankfully able to glide to side of road since it was early morning and had it towed to dealership. Second time it happened approximately 2 1/2 years later May 29, 2025, the car once again lost engine power at an intersection. Driver, again ,was in a fortunate position to glide off road from a right turn lane. If driver had been in left lanes going speed (55) this would not have ended as well. The car would not restart. Car was towed to dealership. The dealership confirmed that this was a known issue and there was a TSB out. However, there are no kits available to fix it at the moment. And we have no time frame for getting our car back and they have not provided a loaner. The vehicle has only been inspected by the Hyundai dealership. There were absolutely NO warnings before either incidents. However, once the car was in possession at the dealership, we received a phone call from Hyundai BlueLink saying we had a Powertrain issue, which did not make sense since our car had been sitting for two weeks unserviced. If this was related to the same issue they were at least two weeks late. Dealership did not confirm Powertrain issue or how anything would be resolved. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE | Vehicle has just over 20,000 miles, and all four high-pressure fuel injectors have been diagnosed as “bad”. This is a very common issue reported on the Internet for 2022 Hyundai Tucson vehicles. Vehicle misfires and loses power with check engine light. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Cylinder 2 misfires, engine code P0302. Yes, it is available. Engine loses power during acceleration. Yes, Hyundai of Anderson (South Carolina) No warning or symptoms. Driving great then the engine starting misfiring going down the interstate. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | POWER TRAIN | The safety alert system on the vehicle alerted us five different times that the vehicle needed to be parked and checked immediately due to a Powertrain issue and each time we took it to the dealership because it is still under warranty at 47,984 mi. This last time they have had it for just over 3 weeks and said there are three or four of the same vehicle with the same issue that they are trying to get parts for. This is not coming up as a recall, but it has been an issue with safety because it tells us to immediately Park the vehicle and it loses engine power when accelerating which is very dangerous for navigating traffic. Insurance has not been involved as it is on warranty and there has not been an accident because of this issue yet. Please look into this because we do believe there should be a recall on this model. I know other people who are having the same issue with the same type of vehicle but on the Santa Fe. The issue starts out where they say it's just a gas cap. But then switching out the gas cap doesn't fix the problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jun 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Without warning the car started misfiring while I was driving around town. It continued and became worse. I was in Wisconsin on vacation with the closest Hyundai dealer over an hour away. Mileage was 62416 and I had the tires replaced two weeks prior to leaving and while there I explained I would be driving from Virginia to Wisconsin and asked they let me know if the vehicle needed any service. I took it to a local shop to see if it was something easily repaired and was told it was probably a fuel injector and I should take it to the dealership as it may be under warranty. So I had to have it towed and rent a car. According to the dealership the warranty for the fuel injectors ended at 60000 miles. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
