2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

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.

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.

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.

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.

On multiple events brakes would not come to a full and complete stop. Many close calls of not being able to stop quickly on the highway or going down hill. The problem has been reproduced by the dealership. No warning messaging.

The Tucson Hybrid has died on the highway multiple times. Seems to happen on long drives the dealer has not reproduced this yet but my car has been at the shop for over 60 days. Car will stop accelerating even when gas pedal is pressed to the floor. Does not seem to be switching from battery power to gas power. No warning messages. First started in April.

On August 13, 2024, while merging onto the freeway with a driving speed of around 45mph, my car suddenly lost acceleration and started shaking. Seconds later, the "check engine" warning indicator light came on as well. I slowly got off the freeway still without acceleration power and found a safe place to park the car. I contacted Hyundai Roadside Assistance to request a towing service to the Hyundai dealer. I left the car at the dealer overnight and contacted the Service Advisor the next day. The Service Advisor stated that one of the fuel injectors was defective and will be replaced under the warranty. After researching online, defective fuel injectors for my car are a well known issue from the public and Hyundai service departments (2 related TSBs were issued in October 2022 and March 2023). Incredulously, per the Service Advisor, Hyundai will only replace the defective fuel injector one at a time. NHTSA should demand Hyundai to recall all affected vehicles listed in the TSBs to replace all fuel injectors at the same time (defective or not) to prevent another sudden acceleration power loss, which may cause a major traffic accident and great bodily harm.

Car lost power as I was entering fast traffic area. Acceleration became unresponsive and vehicle came to halt. Would not move there after. Had it occurred a few seconds later I would’ve found myself unable to accelerate in an acceleration lane, or shortly after merging potentially causing injury to myself and others. After getting the issue diagnosed by Hyundai it is apparently a faulty fuel injectors. Researching online, this appears to be a known problem for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson with many claiming they were left stranded on highways, at intersections and during snow fall. In general this issue makes owners fearful to drive their cars. Apparently, this may be caused by a bad batch of injectors but to my knowledge Hyundai only replaces known bad injectors instead of replacing all injectors from the faulty batch. Due to this many experience multiple failures in short periods in short periods of time, increasing risk of safety incidents. My vehicle’s failed at approximately 22k miles but others have reported failures much sooner.

2022 Hyundai Tucson with repeated check engine light and vehicle losing power. Vehicle losing power and inability to exceed speeds of 15 mph with vehicle shaking, knocking, and pedals shaking. No warning that this was going to occur until vehicle becomes unsafe to drive. This has happened twice and one of which was on a high way which created an incredibly unsafe situation. First time diagnostic code was P0303 which was a cylinder 3 misfire and second time - less than 4 months later- diagnostic code was a P0302 cylinder 2 misfire. Hyundai only repairs one injector at a time; refusing to do all 4 despite being a heavily documented issue on this make/model. This would be able to be confirmed by request. This was also confirmed both times by two separate independent service centers. Vehicle has about 25,000 miles on it and has had 3 check engine lights over the past 3 years of owning- it was bought new. The first time was 2 days of owning and it was a bad IAT that resulted in engine stalling once again. All 3 times the car was unable to be driven and created substantial safety concerns with inability to drive.

Engine failed to switch out of battery power and loses power on the highway. This has happened on two different days the first time I had 58,000 mile the second time after Hyundai said it had been repaired the car has 65,000 mile. Both times my car went from 60 mph to 30 mph quickly. The last time I was in a construction zone and unable to get off the road and was only driving at 10 mph on a very busy highway. The car has been at the Hyundai shop since June. No there were no warning lamps, or messages.
