2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

This is the 4th time that a new fuel pump has been replaced on this 2022 Hyundai Tucson hybrid. I think the car part needs a recall because the fuel pump keeps breaking.

On XXX, while approaching a stop sign, the vehicle did not engage the brakes as expected. I had to press the brake pedal multiple times, and the vehicle jerked several times before it came to a stop. Given that a brake failure of this kind poses an immediate risk to my safety and the safety of others on the road, I had the vehicle towed in for service right away. I took the vehicle to Courtesy Hyundai of Tampa (3810 W Hillsborough Ave, Tampa, FL 33614) on Monday, XXX (Repair Order #XXX). Service Advisor Dominick DeLeva documented the complaint and had the vehicle test driven. The dealership's notes state that the issue could not be duplicated, no fault codes were present, and the brake fluid level was correct. A multi-point inspection was also completed. The vehicle was returned to me on July 14, 2026, with no repairs made and no explanation for the braking irregularity I experienced.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving, after an hour, the vehicle was shaking and shuddering abnormally and the vehicle lost motive power. The driver was unable to maintain a steady speed while driving the vehicle. The vehicle was making an abnormal sound while driving at 60 MPH, and the vehicle was struggling to accelerate. There were no warning lights illuminated. The blue link indicated that the failure was associated with DTC: P03600. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who was unable to retrieve a diagnostic trouble code. The vehicle was diagnosed as needing the fluid, tires, and brakes to be changed, and the low jack to be removed. The vehicle was not repaired. Another local dealer, Napleton Hyundai (4333 W Ogden Ave, Aurora, IL 60504) was contacted, but there was no response. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

Phantom braking while driving under a bridge. No cars around but Tucson warned collision while driving under a bridge and slammed on the brakes! This has happened multiple times. This fake safety feature is actually a hazard!

When driving have been reviving a warning that says adaptive cruise control failure followed by a short time were the car may unexpectedly break on the interstate.

I became aware of a Technical Service Bulletin that Hyundai published in Jan 2025 acknowledging that many vehicles (of which mine is one) have a faulty fuel injector and it will fail. Hyundai elected to not issue a recall on this issue so the public has no idea they are driving vehicles that are just awaiting for a malfunction in their engine. It appears the reason Hyundai is doing this is because fuel injectors are only covered on the manufacturer’s limited 5-year 60,000-mile warranty so they are hoping the faulty injectors last long enough to get beyond that point and customers don’t know the injectors were even faulty to begin with (because TSBs are not public knowledge). Hyundai can then charge for full repairs and omit admittance that the injectors were faulty and blame it on wear and tear. Mine failed beyond 60,000 miles and I am in this predicament. I imagine most customers with 2022 vehicles have not driven as much as me and haven’t had this come up. It seemed like something I should inform someone about. Do with this what you wish

My 2025 Mazda CX-5 has an intermittent defect that causes Android phones connected to Android Auto through the vehicle's USB-C port to unexpectedly perform a complete device reboot while the vehicle is being driven. The problem began in August 2025 after I purchased a Google Pixel 9. I initially believed the phone was defective and spent several months troubleshooting the phone. After the same problem occurred with my son's Google Pixel 10, I determined the issue was not phone-specific. I reported the problem to Mastria Mazda in March/April 2026 and returned again in May 2026. I opened a case with Mazda Customer Experience on June 4, 2026. The vehicle software has been updated, but the defect remains. The failure is random. It does not occur immediately after connecting the phone and is not associated with navigation, music, phone calls, messaging, or trip duration. It can occur once during a trip or multiple times during the same trip. The defect has been reproduced with two different phones (Google Pixel 9 and Pixel 10) using multiple USB-C cables. The same phones were then tested using wired Android Auto in another 2025 Mazda CX-5 (loaner driven for one week), a Mazda3, a Mazda CX-90, and a Tesla. The problem did not occur in any of those vehicles. My Pixel 9 also works normally in my vehicle when using wireless Android Auto. The reboots occur only through the wired USB-C Android Auto connection in my vehicle. This creates a safety hazard because Android Auto immediately disconnects, causing the sudden loss of navigation, the head-up display directions, hands-free calling, and voice commands while driving. The defect has occurred multiple times during Boston morning rush-hour traffic and while navigating a major highway interchange under construction where lane assignments had been temporarily changed. The unexpected loss of navigation and driver information at these critical moments creates a significant driver distraction and potential safety risk.

My 2022 Hyundai Tuscon came to a complete stop on the highway in Colorado twice in the last 2 months for no apparent reason. There weren't any obstacles or cars in front of me that would have caused the car to brake suddenly. I had passengers in the car and we were jolted forward. The air bags did not inflate and we were not hit from behind, but we could have been severely injured or killed. There are numerous "phantom braking" reports like this here on the NHTSA site for the 2022 model as well as more recent models. Yet Hyundai has only issued recalls for the 2025 and 2026 models. How are you addressing this issue?

WIPERS STOP WORKING. THEY WILL FREEZE AND STOP MOVING ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD. SO FAR I CAN FIX THE PROBLEM BY TURNING THE WIPERS OFF AND THEN BACK ON. MY CONCERN IS THAT MAY NOT WORK IN THE FUTURE. ALSO, IN HEAVY RAIN AN ACCIDENT MAY HAPPEN BEFORE I CAN RESTART THE WIPERS. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.

Fuel door actuator failed to unlock had to take the car into the dealership to replace a malfunctioning actuator. Left me stranded at a gas station unable to fuel the car.
