2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

Twice in 2 months the fuel injectors have went out on my vehicle. It causes the car to start shaking uncontrollably and lose power when hitting the gas almost causing a crash. First injector was injector 3 May 2024 and today 8/10/24 injector 4 went out.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving approximately 65 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle began to vibrate, lose motive power, and then stalled. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that cylinder #4 fuel injector had failed. The fuel injector was replaced; however, the same failure occurred with fuel injector #3. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 34,219.

Fuel injectors have failed three times now. Each time they have replaced a single injector and told me the issue is fixed. Once one is fixed, the other goes shortly after. The vehicle enters limp mode with a check engine light, making it extremely dangerous to try and drive the vehicle, especially on entering the highways. The problem has been confirmed by the dealership, and TSB 23-FL-002H-1 shows they are aware of the issue. I have not had it inspected by the manufacturer (other than technicians at the dealership) or any other entity. This issue has happened twice this year, once in March, and this July as well.

Fuel injector failure in fuel injector #2 Hyundai is aware of the issue and has a technical service bulletin. Hyundai only replaced the one fuel injector in November of 2023. July of 2024 failure in fuel injector #3 and they are now replacing all remaining fuel injectors. I have opened up a complaint with corporate Hyundai and I’m awaiting a response. This failure caused my engine to misfire and a loss in acceleration causing the car to be unsafe to drive.

While driving over 50 mph the emergency brake has initiated 3 times in a 4 month period. There are no cars in front of my vehicle and it is not the collision warning but it will flash on the dash the the emergency brake is engaged in red, it will make a warning beeping noise and the car will brake on its own.

On 5/27/24, my check engine light came on and the vehicle stayed to shimmy and shake each time I would press on the gas. Had the vehicle towed to the dealer for the #4 fuel injector assembly to be replaced. The same thing happened on 7/16/24 while traveling out of state. I was traveling on a highway and had to keep my emergency flashers on as I tried to coax the car to the next exit. Couldn't go above 25-30 mph. Had vehicle towed to a dealer for the #2 fuel injector assembly to be replaced. Now I am again without a vehicle because on 7/26/24, the same thing happened and I was told it is the #1 fuel injector. I was told by 2 different dealers that this is a known Hyundai Tucson issue but they are only allowed to replace what is coming up with an error code. They are not permitted to change all of the assemblies at one time, even though it would save them and Hyundai Corporate quite a bit of money in the long term. They've now paid to tow my car 3 times, paid workers 3 times the amount of money to replace what could've and should've been done the first time. The dealer was going to try to get the #3 assembly replaced now but there is no guarantee. I'm afraid that I'll have to be back there in another week or two for the last one. This is a serious issue that is not being addressed.

Car lunched from a traveling in traffic 50+ mph to 39 mph and then had to push the pedal to the floor to get it off the highway and on the side during 5 o'clock traffic. Said something about the hybrid battery and went dead. Dealer has had it for 11 days and still can't get it started. Apparently there are THREE batteries in relation to this hybrid and all 3 don't work and never seen this before. Since it's been at the dealer, hyundai has emailed me no less than 3 times that I need to check my lights because my battery is getting low all the while it has been completely dead and they don't even know it. Suffice to say, there was NO WARNING other than a couple of miles prior, my car lunched down to the 39 mph and I lunged on the gas and it picked back up again but it wouldn't do it a 2d time. They obviously still don't know about the vehicle being so dead 2 different tow trucks had to be called because even the tires were locked up. Just still receiving my messages I need to check my lights because my battery (NOT BATTERIES MULTIPLE) is low and it's not low, THEYRE ALL 3 DEAD. I was in a dangerous situation and always felt safe in a 2 yr old car with a full tank and hybrid battery backup and less than. 20k miles. IF EVER FIXED because service may have to send OUT OF STATE I will never buy a hyandai or hybrid again. The entire battery system broke down. Which killed the entire electrical system which now no one knows how to fix
