| Oct 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | At 37,430 mileage while driving on the interstate our vehicle check engine light came on, shortly after, our vehicle began to shake, and would stall if our RPM fell below 2000, placing us at a serious safety risk of breaking down and causing an accident on the interstate driving 80 mph. We were 290 miles from the nearest Hyundai service department, and managed to make it without breaking down. After inspecting our vehicle, the service department reported that our fuel injector for cylinder two needed replacing, but that it would take 3 business days to order the part, leaving us stranded 1600 miles from home for 6 days in total. On our way back home, at around 38,800 mileage, our check engine light came back on and are car began to shake and stall if our RPM fell below 2000 (same as before) while driving on the interstate. We were 140 miles from the nearest Hyundai service department and still 800 miles from home, leaving us stranded once again. The service department replaced our fuel injector for cylinder 1, and confirmed that this is a known issue for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson, but that Hyundai refuses to replace the fuel injectors until they go bad. This is extremely unsafe, and we still have two fuel injectors that will likely need replacing. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injector failure while driving at highway speeds to only have the car lose power and becoming a danger while attempting to get off the highway. The fuel injectors are a regular problem with this year, make, and model vehicle. The warning lamps didn’t come on until after loss of power. This is the second time that this has happened. First time was on July 12,2024.. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I am dealing with my 3rd clogged fuel injector. My car lost power, starting shaking and wouldn’t accelerate. The engine light went on when it happened, not before. The first time I was on the highway, second time on a major thoroughfare. Not places where I could just pull over. Very scary. I got the first one fixed in 2023. This happened again a year later with a different fuel injector. I just got my car back 2 weeks ago and it is doing it again. I will have it towed but NOT to the dealer this time. They told me it wasn’t a problem with this car, until I called them out on it. Then she said she misunderstood. They are well aware of the problem. I can’t believe the dealer because they aren’t upfront about the problem. They didn’t even give me the paperwork this second time, just a receipt. I when I get this third one fixed, I will never be comfortable driving it | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Oct 2024 | VISIBILITY/WIPER | The component that failed are the visibility with headlights being completely snow packed and covered in a snow storm. The lights themselves did not fail, but the design causes snow to get stuck over all the headlights, which continues building to a point where 99%+ of light blocked. This has occurred numerous times since owning the car, easily 20+ times. VERY dangerous, oncoming cars will flash their headlights because the Tucson headlights are completely covered. Visibility is greatly decreased. Have to pull over multiple times driving in snow storms to break the snow and ice free from the headlights, only to build up again once driving. This puts not only our lives, but other drivers lives at risk. Just imagine driving in winter conditions, at night, with no headlights. Mentioned to dealer, but not documented anywhere and was not given any serious consideration. At that point we were focused on trying to get the power loss/hesitation and extremely rough shifting fixed. Big design flaw with the combination of headlights built into the grill, and with new technology, the lights must not get hot enough to melt the snow. Anyone who thinks that driving in a snow storm, at night, and no headlights isn't a huge safety issue or that this is exaggerated, I invite you to come take a ride with us this winter. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel Injector went out while I was driving to work approximately 5,000 miles later, I was driving home from work and another fuel injector went out. Both times I had to have my car towed to the dealership. They said that was a recall on fuel injector but only could fix the one that went out each time. I am nervous about the next time it goes out. Where will I be and will it be dark and unsafe. I have been a loyal Hyundai car owner. I am now thinking about not purchasing another Hyundai and selling my Tuscon. Customer service and making sure customers are placed in a safe car at all times is very important. Hyundai failed this time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | I have a cylinder misfire related to known issues with this product and any dealership affiliated with warranty work are months out, there are no backup vehicles and Hyundai will not take any action until they are diagnosed. We have no backup vehicle and my wife was almost hit. There was sudden power loss of the vehicle and it is a safety concern. No reimbursement for rentals or alternate solutions provided | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | SERVICE BRAKES | While driving I noticed that the navigation went out for a second and then the brakes would not work. I was about to hit the car in front of me, but the auto braking stopped the vehicle. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Fuel injector failure. UTC code PO030300 detected at 27500 miles. Car is shaky and loss of power in idle. Code showing on infortainment screen. Taken to dealership on 9/17/24 with appointment and vehicle was not "diagnosed" until 9/19/24. From loss of power, with children in car it is a safety issue. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was driving the car home on 8/20/24 at roughly 50 MPH, and I felt this brief bucking motion with the vehicle and a loss of power to the motor. The vehicle did not fully shut down and continued to drive, but it struggled when trying to accelerate. When I got home, I checked the Engine code through MyHyundai, which showed code P219CF0. I reached out to the dealership, leaving multiple voicemails, and after over a week of trying to get them on the phone, I went in person and scheduled an appointment for them to service the vehicle on 8/28. They were not able to see the vehicle until 9/3/24, and after talking with the service manager and reviewing my car history, they were confident it was another injector; he was ordering the parts because he said he didn't have any, and it would take a bit to get them. The car went in on 9/3 as planned, and they called to confirm that Cylinder 1 had an Air-Fuel Ratio imbalance and that the GDI Injector had failed. They had gotten in the injector but did not have the High Press Pipe needed to go along with it, and they would have the pipe in by 9/6. I'm unsure when the pipe arrived, but I called in mid-afternoon on 9/9/24, and they were wrapping up my vehicle and that it would be ready shortly. They performed the standard 34-point inspection on the vehicle and did not find further issues. I reached back out to Hyundai Motors America as I had reached out to them after my second Injector failed; at the time, they were unwilling to replace the remaining injectors proactively. I've now opened my second case with Hyundai Motors America. I am communicating through email now, and I do not believe Hyundai is willing to replace the final fuel injector proactively, even though the vehicle only has one original injector remaining, and based on the bulletin Hyundai has out, the chances are pretty good it will soon fail too. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I had gone out with my vehicle for an errand, and it was running fine. When I finished, I came back into the vehicle and started it up, and it was shaking tremendously on startup. I turned off the car, started it back on, and it started fine. I got about 300 feet from where I was going, not even ten mph, and the vehicle started shaking the same as minutes before; this time, a check engine light came on. I immediately parked it in a safe spot and called for Roadside Assistance. The dealership that serviced the vehicle informed me the DTC code was P030400, meaning the Fuel Injector for Cylinder 4 had failed. It was luckily replaced promptly. This was the second GDI Injector that had been replaced on the vehicle. Unfortunately, I was told there was a service bulletin on the problem and that the dealership was seeing a lot of this problem. I contacted Hyundai Motors America directly to try proactively to get the remaining two injectors replaced. Still, I was told that because there was no current issue with the injectors, they would be unable to provide any assistance proactively. The vehicle had 35645 miles on the motor when this incident occurred. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I was driving on the highway, and at roughly 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power; it seemed to regain function momentarily, and then the check engine light went on, and then the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was then rolling. Thankfully I was able to throw hazards on quick enough and the vehicles around me were alert enough not to collide into my vehicle and I was able to get the vehicle over to the shoulder before the lost momentum. The vehicle was then towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. The dealership informed me that the engine produced code P030200, meaning that the fuel injector on Cylinder 2 had failed. They were able to replace it. The vehicle was at 24188 miles at the time. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |

| Sep 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | The Apple Car Play goes on and off at random. It works perfectly about 70% of the time, then will not work for no apparent reason. While trying to get it reconnected, the Seat Heater on the driver's side would come on. This has happened many times so I want to mention it in case it's connected. I don't think I've accidentally engaged it that many times. It poses a risk because it takes my attention away from driving and could cause me to run into the car in front of me. I'll be taking it to the dealership in 3 weeks. There were no warning lamps or messages. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Sep 2024 | POWER TRAIN | I purchased a Hyundai tucson 2022 in November 2022 and Ive been having great issues with the vehicle since. Ive had to bring the car in over 3 times in less than 2 years for powertrain issues. The first was in Oct 2023, then Nov 2023, followed by Jun 2024. Today is engine light is back on and the diagnostic code is saying Powertrain. The car misfires and there is little or no acceleration. This happened on the highway more than once and i was terrified. Also the car does this jerky shaking thing. When i spoke to the dealer about it they made it seem like an uncommon issue but after doing my research, there are lot of complaints about similar situations. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | I had 2 fuel injectors fail on my car within a 3 week period. The car is only 2.5 yrs old and has 48,500mi on it Both instances where when I was on a highway. I had the 1st fuel injector fail on [XXX] and then the 2nd one failed about 3 weeks later on [XXX]. When the 2nd fuel injector failed, I was barely able to drive the car to a safe place to get it towed. I spoke with a Hyundai Corp case worker and I asked why they didn't just replace the remaining 2 fuel injectors. Her response was that they don't replace them when they fail. I now have a 2 year old car that I am afraid to drive because I never know where or when It will leave me stranded. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6) | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | (2) fuel injectors failed while driving on the highway. This is a know issue with Hyundai, but no recall has been issued. The warranty would have covered it up to 60k miles. My odometer was at 60,232. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | VISIBILITY | The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at approximately 75 MPH, the contact heard a loud noise, and the sunroof glass exploded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed but the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the sunroof glass shattering. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 36,126. | Crash: No Fire: No | 36,126 |
| Aug 2024 | FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | My service advisor said that another fuel injector would probably go out but it wouldnt be covered under warranty until the car stalled. I am planning to move to Idaho from Texas for college so I spent $840 for new fuel injectors. The engine was pulsating and lost power multiple times. Definitely not what I was expecting to spend on a 2 year old car. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I was driving and came to a stop to make a right turn. I put on the turn signal and nothing happened. I drove to where I could pull over and I tried the flashers and they worked so I turned the car off. I then turn on the car and still no turn signals inside and outside. I drove to where I was going and we ate supper. When I came back about 1 1/2 hours, I turned on the car and tried the turn signals and there worked. It's been almost a week and it hasn't happened again. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM | Vehicle suddenly unable to accelerate. Engine shuddered & produced a burning smell until we could safely pull over. Towed to dealership where diagnostics showed faulty fuel injector & they replaced 1 GDI fuel injector per TSB 23-FL-002H-1. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE | I had my gps on and it completely stopped working sending me in circles and the voice directing completely stopped. Very dangerous it had me making U-turns at dangerous intersections. I stopped several times put address in again. This has happened several times and it is very dangerous. Also this address is a known gps address not some obscure destination ´ Next twice I have pushed the start button with my foot on the brake and the car would not start. Third try it started. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
| Aug 2024 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | All my audio stopped working in vehicle. Did a search on this and found out there is a TSB on this problem. The amp stopped working and it affects all safety features. It took me 3 weeks to get an appointment. I feel this is a safety hazard and they need a recall. It only affects certain vins it says and mine is one of them. I’ve read many complaints all they do to “fix” is unplug amp and plug back in. It works for awhile and then it happens again. So the way it’s being fixed is just a bandaid. | Crash: No Fire: No | Unknown |
