| Mar 2025 | STRUCTURE,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 1-- Fuel injector failed 11/2023 one month to replace it, 2-- Fuel injector failed 3/2025 in dealer, 3-- Fuel door does not open, replaced by dealer 3/2025 | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injectors failed. I was left on the side of a rural road for 2.5 hours waiting on a tow truck. No warning lights came on until my car was dead. I was told the injectors (4 of them) had failed by the dealership service center. This vehicle is still under warranty. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Mar 2025 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | The fuel door actuator stopped working. This caused a safety issue because it left me stranded in the desert. I had no way of opening the fuel door to put gas in the vehicle. This model does not have a lever for emergency. The only way to gain access is to take pull the panel inside apart inside the trunk. I had to call my husband to help me. I was 110 miles away from him. This caused a very dangerous unsafe situation. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | Had the oil changed at the 36k mark. Since then some weird electrical issues are happening. Bluetooth nor android auto will play a song more than 2 minutes before starting again. The screen is harder to "touch" for anything. If I turn my blinker on or use any control on steering wheel as well as roll down the window, the electrical will "flash" and again song starts all over. My husband went out to garage last night and opened the garage door to go to his truck and did not have the key to my Tucson on him. He opened the garage door and the hatch to the Hyundai started opening as well. Taking into the dealer on Tuesday, they state no recalls on any electrical issues, though I see it throughout multiple platforms online. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | ENGINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power and was pulled over to the side of the road and stalled. The vehicle was restarted 20 minutes later with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the residence. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer twice however, the failure could not be duplicated. The contact stated that on the second visit to the dealer, the dealer was able to provide an undisclosed update for the engine. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 8,089. | Crash: No Fire: No | 8,089 |
| Feb 2025 | POWER TRAIN,UNKNOWN OR OTHER,ENGINE | Dealership tried to fix vehicle multiple times and failed. Would be considered a Lemon but is over 3 years old. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injector failure. Sudden loss of engine power creates a major safety issue when traveling at speed on highways or especially busy interstate highways. Vehicle was towed to dealer and repaired under warranty promptly. This is a known issue with this and other Hyundai models and all four fuel injectors should be replaced. At present, Hyundai only authorizes one be replaced at a time as they malfunction. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving 70mph on the freeway, the car’s emergency braking assistance activated twice for no apparent reason. This is very dangerous at such high speeds and could result in a serious accident if cars are following close behind. This car has not been inspected for this issue. A google search of this issue revealed many similar complaints that have not been addressed or taken seriously. A possible related warning message about “blocked forward safety” has appeared a few times in the last week. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | 2022 to hyundai tuscon now with the third cylinder misfire due to faulty fuel injector. This can be inspected upon request. Upon second occurrence, requested all cylinders be replaced and advised could not do this under warranty. Second filing to NHTSA. This incident put myself and other drivers at risk. I was driving on a highway and the cylinder misfire occurred resulting in check engine light and vehicle going into limp mode and inability to drive more than 30-40 mph. The entire vehicle violently shakes and loses power with this misfire. In the previous occurrences , could not accelerate beyond 20 mph. I could have been rear ended or caused a serious accident on the highway as a result of Hyundai faulty fuel injectors and cylinder misfires. My vehicle has now been seen 3x for the same issue and replaced by dealer. There were no warning signs prior to the failure of the fuel injector resulting in cylinder misfire and loss of power and inability to accelerate. This is a very dangerous faulty component of this year make and model- it is a known issue. Still no recall. I have a "new" car that puts me in danger every 4-6 months when I lose power in my vehicle with no warning or cause except from faulty parts. This faulty part is going to cause serious injuries/accidents if it is not addressed. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Feb 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving approximately 75 mph in the passing lane on highway, the vehicle suddenly automatically brake. Pulled back into the right lane and didn't really understand what happened. Next time i pulled out to pass and had a car on my right hand side it did the same thing. Pulled back into right hand lane and stayed there for quite some time. I then turned off the all around sensor @ and it didnt do it again but as i got closer to home the warning light came on and a message popped up. It now has the triangle caution sign on and the picture of car icon in amber. I had driven the car from my home for about 50 miles and parked car for two hours, the drove back toward home for about 20 miles when the event happened. It was dangerous and makes not want to use any of the "assist system's" going forward. I plan to wash the car today to see if the lights will go off- if they don't then i shall call dealer on Monday. This occurred on saturday. Ill be washing car today (sunday). If i had anyone driving closely behind me, i for sure would have been rear ended. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While driving on the highway, I attempted to accelerate up to 70 mph and the check engine light came on and the front end of the car started shaking. Had to pull over and restart the car to continue safely. This has happened four separate times at different mileage variables and each time they replace 2-3 of my fuel injectors with no explanation as to what is causing them to constantly blow. They never make it even 1000 miles before at least one goes out again. My vehicle is approaching 52,000 miles and has been serviced four times for this since December 2023. This needs to be a vehicle recall as the warranty will not pay for this forever and the underlying cause of the problem is not being addressed by Hyundai. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | While driving on the highway at approximately 65 mph the car emergency brake kicked in with no cars in front of it. Causing a huge jerk. This happened 3 times within a 25 minute time span | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Lost acceleration while driving on the freeway and car started shaking with Check Engine light on. Took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and was informed that #4 injector failed causing the engine to misfire. This was the 3rd fuel injector failing in 5 months. Per my service advisor, Hyundai released an updated TSB (25-FL-001H) in January 2025 with a 4 new fuel injector replacement kit. Unfortunately, this injector kit was so new that I had to drive a service rental car for a week waiting for the kit to arrive. Let's see if these new fuel injectors will last longer than the old ones. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Car was driving fine. Started sputtering and died, unable to restart. No prior warning injectors will fail. Known fuel injector problem with model years found and replaced. Hyundai Tsb 25-fl-001h used. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injectors failed while driving on parkway. Car lost power(would not go over 25mph) without notice. Not fun driving at 60mph then abrutly go to 25mph on left lane cars behind me nearly hit my car and could have caused a major pileup.There was no warning prior to losing power and check engine lights came on maybe 2 minutes later. Was able to get to right lane and exit parkway to a secure location to have car towed to dealership. Dealership replaced the fuel injectors. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My 2022 Tucson's fuel injectors for the first cylinders have failed, creating a misfires in cylinder one. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Jan 2025 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS,SERVICE BRAKES | Purchased a brand new 2022 tucson. Within 2 months it went to the dealer with about 7 dash fault lights turning on (abs, Air bag, lane assist, check engine, just to name a few) and breaks engage on their own. Stayed at the dealership for over 2 months while they had the Hyundai engineers try to figure out the issue. They gave it back to me and said it was a connector in the rear door. The vehicle has been back 4 times for the same exact issues for months at a time and they keep experimenting and giving it back to me. I tried to get it exchanged for a safer one and they denied my request. I guess my families safety isn't that important to hyundai after all. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost motive power. The check engine, emissions, and other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road and had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The contact stated that the failure had occurred 3 times within 10 months. The dealer diagnosed the vehicle with fuel injection system failure. The dealer replaced the fuel injector for the first time. The contact stated that after the second failure, the vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact stated that another fuel injector was replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was diagnosed again after the third time and the contact was informed that the fuel injectors needed to be replaced; however, the were not yet repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and opened a case. The failure mileage was 28,000. | Crash: No Fire: No | 28,000 |
| Dec 2024 | POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Within the first year of purchase, my power train system has beeb throwing codes. I took it to the dealership where they assured me nothing was wrong. My fuel injectors then gave out. The dealership replaced them and told me “yes these things are faulty and we see it a lot”. After replacing it, they did not seal the fuel injectors, causing gas to gush out and set my car to smoke. I was ill from inhaling gas fumes for days. They took accountability and said that the injectors were defective in the vehicles and that they would once again fix it. I am not experiencing further engine issues which they do not know how to diagnose. My car is a 2022 purchase from the lot. The engine is defective and Hyundai is negligent. They admitted they were aware of the injector issue but didn’t do much to correct this. After corrected, they almost had my car set on fire from fuel pouring on the engine. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | POWER TRAIN | At the end of May 2024 my car was diagnosed with a faulty fuel injector that caused sputtering and problems accelerating. I was driving on a busy freeway when my car began to shake and sputter and lose power. A check engine light came on when the car first started to shake and sputter. I was able to pull off the freeway but, in an area, where I was unfamiliar. I was able contact family nearby who assisted me in driving the car slowly to a Hyundai dealership about 15 miles away. This happened on a holiday weekend and I had to get a rental car as the dealership was unable to service the car for several days. The dealership diagnosed the car as having a faulty fuel injector and a new fuel injector was installed. On December 5, my car again started sputtering and shaking and had problems accelerating. It needed to be towed to a Hyundai dealership about 50 miles away from my home. I am currently waiting for them to diagnose the problem. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | On 10-11-24 the panoramic sunroof on our car exploded. We were driving at the time at approx 45mph, clear and 60° out, and we heard a loud bang and in looking around for the cause saw the sunroof looked like crackle glass. We closed the sunshade in case it fell on us, and within a minute it did just that. Had we not closed that shade we would have been showered with glass. We did not see any obstacles coming at us and there were no cars around close enough to throw up a rock. After calling our insurance company to start a claim I did some research online while waiting for the adjuster to call. I discovered the class action suit regarding the exploding sunroofs and realized that is what had just happened to us. I then spoke to Hyundai customer service and started an incident report. We were finally able to take the car to a dealer on 10-31-24 and requested the repair be covered under the limited warranty. They eventually agreed to repair it under warranty and we picked the car up on 11-29-24. We were without the use of it for 7 weeks. We knew we would never trust that it wouldn't happen again and that we would need to trade it in. We did just that 3 days later at a different dealership. Of course we lost money on the car. There were no prior warnings with any lights, noises, or anything. No other vehicles or people were involved and no police report or anything was made. Had we been going faster or on a multiple lane road, or had the glass fallen as soon as it exploded, I believe the shock and reaction would have ended in an accident and severe injury to us or others. Pictures are available but they were taken after we cleaned up the mess. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The backup camera turns off without warning. Suv is low miles. Hyundai has a recall for this on other models. I'd like to see it extend over to the Tucson also. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Dec 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | This is the 3rd time that my 2yr old Tuscon failed and had to be towed in a 4 month period. I was at a light and when it turned green, the vehicle barely moved when I pressed on the accelerator. I was only able to drive a few feet and pulled over and had to have it towed again. They are only replacing the fuel injectors as they fail!! | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | While on a trip my wife started out leaving the hotel as normal. After a minute of so, we lost the ability to accelerate as if the Tuscon was not responding to the gas pedal. We were lucky we were in town so we pulled into a gas station and turned off the truck. I thought it might be bad gas so we filled the tank with hi-test and turned off several features that are related to speed control (like tracking the speed limit etc.) I have noticed at the same time we lost the ISG system (Idle stop and Go). The indication in the owner's manual points to a battery function that detects the battery is fully charged. I used a voltmeter and the battery reads 12.5v and is charging at 14v. See today's recall for Hyundai vehicles, I think the problem involves a lot more vehicles. If you check the Hyundai forum, there are a lot of complaints on Tucson as well. I hope you take this into consideration when looking into this intergrated charging control issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Nov 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | The fuel injection system has failed 3 times now causing the car to become slow/sluggish while driving (sudden slow down and lurching). This is a known issue with the car per [XXX] . Each time, the dealer has stated it's a known issue that's not covered by warranty or recall. Each time, the technician has stated that they are unsure why it hasn't been recalled given the prevalence of the issue and the risk of causing an accident.
