2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

I am submitting this complaint regarding an ongoing and dangerous issue with my 2022 Hyundai Tucson involving repeated fuel injector failures that have caused the vehicle to stall and lose power while driving, without any prior warning indicators. The first incident occurred in October 2023, at approximately 16,000 miles, when the car suddenly died while I was driving. There were no warning lights or signs of a problem before the stall occurred. The vehicle had to be towed to the dealership, where they replaced two fuel injectors. Just two weeks later, the same issue happened again—the car died while driving and was towed back to the dealership. The remaining injectors were then replaced. Unfortunately, this problem has continued. In November 2024, at around 26,000 miles, the vehicle again stalled while driving, with no warning, due to another fuel injector failure ( more failed injectors). Most recently, on October 18, 2025, with 31,000 miles on the odometer, my Tucson lost power and died while I was merging onto an interstate—once again with no warning or alert of any kind. I am still waiting for confirmation of how many injectors have failed this time. This is an extremely serious safety hazard. Losing engine power unexpectedly, especially while merging into highway traffic, puts both the driver and others on the road at significant risk of a collision or serious injury. Despite multiple occurrences, Hyundai has not identified the root cause of the injector failures and continues only to replace the faulty parts, which clearly does not resolve the underlying issue. It is unacceptable that a relatively new vehicle would experience repeated fuel system failures of this nature, and it is clear that there is a systemic defect affecting safety and reliability. I urge the NHTSA to investigate this issue to determine whether other Hyundai Tucson owners are experiencing similar failures and whether a recall or safety action is warranted.

On [XXX] at approximately [XXX] we were traveling west on [XXX] in Canida when we heard an explosion and could hear air rushing into the vehicle. As soon as we could safely pull to the right and into the breakdown lane my wife got out and noticed a large hole in the panoramic sunroof. The glass was shattered but the glass stayed within the cloth cover. We were in shock but decided to continue on to our medical appointment in Manchester. We had not been near an overpass and we felt no debris flying from the road or another vehicle. we called our insurance company, Amica Mutual and reported the incident.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Cylinder 4 fuel injector failed while driving 70 MPH down the highway. The dealer or manufacturer will have the faulty parts for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Loss of power and acceleration put me and others at risk; I could not go over 40 MPH on the highway, the car was lurching the entire time. Inattentive drivers being the main concern, with low speeds and driving/sitting still on the shoulder of the road. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the dealership I had it towed to confirmed the injector failed. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The manufacturer is aware of the issue. There is a TSB issued that asks the dealer to send the faulty parts back to them. They are fully aware of the issue and are choosing to replace faulty parts with equally faulty parts. The dealer told me the replacement injectors “are not supposed to have the factory defect” but confirmed they are the same parts. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the engine light came on and I lost power/acceleration simultaneously.

Car goes into limp mode and will not accelerate over 25 mph. This has happened 5 times while driving in traffic. It is very unsafe and could be the cause of an accident. Fortunately we found a place to pull off the road, wait a while, and restart the car.

It’s been three years now and I had “Brake system failure” happened two times in 3 years. When traveling the brake system warning appears and while driving, and stopped at sign brake releases slightly and car would start to move unless I apply brakes firmly again. When slowing down at traffic lights holding the brake doesn’t bring car to complete stop. I had apply brake, slightly release and then apply again until car comes to full stop. I was told they need to replace IEB module and brake pedal module replacement. I checked in Reddit and other platforms where users had seen the issue multiple times on their vehicles. Also had an issue with Fuel system like replacement of Egr valve which seems to be common on multiple Vehicles.

I took the vehicle to the service station because it takes a long time to stop, and I braked close to a vehicle on several occasions. They replaced the brake pads, and when I took the baby in, it was worse. When they finally agreed to let me take the baby in for another inspection, they said they would have to remove and reinstall the parts. Two months later, my baby started doing the same thing.

Both horns needed to be replaced three times due to both stopped working and I listed the dates below. First time replacement: 4-6-24, Second time replacement: 10-9-24, Third time replacement: 1-16-25. Now on 9-26-25 both horns stopped worknig again, I checked the horn fuse and that is good. I now need to call the dealer to have both horns replaced for the fourth time. I also contacted Hyundai's national customer service to log a complaint as well. To me this is a safty issue since the horn is used to possible prevent an accident. I check the horns when I drive the car since they go bad so often and I have under 28,000 miles on the vehicle.

Taken car to work, driving down highway check engine light come on with loss of power. Took to dealership reported cylinder number 3 fuel injector was stuck open. Replaced all 4 injectors. Found TSB for it

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that there was a delay in the operation of the rearview camera to provide an image while reversing. The contact stated that the rearview camera remained activated temporarily while the vehicle was in drive(D). The contact stated that the infotainment system screen turned off and activated functions unintendedly while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the infotainment system and the rearview camera were replaced twice; however, the failure persisted. Additionally, the contact stated that while attempting to shift from reverse(R), the gear shifter was sticking and failed to shift to drive(D). The contact was able to shift to drive(D) after several attempts. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Had my car scanned it said air control unit. With that light on if I have a collision my ai bags won't deploy and my safety belts will not lock.
