The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle was not shifting properly causing the vehicle to overheat. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and the transmission fluid tank was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred. The dealer was contacted but was unable to schedule an appointment.

Vehicle vehicle slowed down from 65mph to 35mph suddenly on freeway. This happened 4 times. 3 times engine light went away after vehicle was shut down and restarted. 4th time repair light came stayed on.

The sunroof exploded outward, after being driven earlier in the day then parked in our garage. We went to pull it out of the garage again and didn’t even leave our driveway and the sunroof exploded. Researching the issue seems to have uncovered an existing problem with Hyundais that the manufacturer has not taken responsibility for yet. Seems like the government should get involved.

While on the highway my car (2022 Tucson Hybrid) lost almost all power while I was driving. I was approaching traffic and started to slow down. The battery light illuminated red and the car was jerking backing forth cutting power and juddering while I was slowing down. Being that I was still in the flow of traffic and my car wasn’t fully dead yet I tried to move out of the road but due to traffic on my right I had to make a left turn. I was still able to get up to about 15 mph, but as I was turning to get off the road all power was essentially cut allowing me to only proceed at about 2 mph. Luckily oncoming traffic was far enough away to slow down. I was practically driving like a grandma blocking two lanes of traffic. I managed to limp my car off the road and at this point a “Check Hybrid System” message was shown. My car was towed and after talking with the dealership it seems the transmission went out. My car is still currently at the dealership waiting to be repaired.

I have a 2022 Hyundai Blue Tucson Hybrid which I bought last year late July, early August, 2021. I have encountered a safety issue that occurred three times in a course of one month in April, 2022. When I am driving, I will get a message, "Check Hybrid System, Stop the car safely," in the middle of the freeway. The car will lose power prior to getting the message and trying to merge to the right on a freeway when everyone is driving fast is quiet the safety challenge. Once I pull over on the side of the freeway for few minutes, I can start the car again and keep going as if nothing happened. Each time it happened, it was unpredictable. My biggest discontentment, fear, and worry is when I took the car to the dealership (Tuttle Click in Irvine, California), they kept it there for almost a week and said that there is nothing they can do about it since they took it on a test drive and there was no problem. I even showed them the picture that I took of the error message but to no avail. They recommended calling Hyundai corporation and open a case, which I did but nothing has been done with Hyundai for now one month. They did ask me (Hyundai) what is that I seek because of this problem, and I told them either a buy back, or a replacement. They continue to drag me on and I do NOT feel safe driving my car. Here is my case number with Hyundai: [XXX] Thank you for your time, concern, and consideration in this urgent matter. It is greatly appreciated and I hope to hear from you soon so that I may get this urgent issue resolved. Sincerely, [XXX] Orange County, California [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I purchased a 2022 Tucson Hybrid on Friday 5/27. I purchased the insurance package as well as the Tommy Car protection. On Wednesday 6/1 it got stuck in neutral, thankfully in my driveway. I tried to put it in reverse, but it instead went into neutral. I couldn't get the emergency brake to engage at first and my car was rolling down my driveway, which leads to a lake. I can't even imagine what could have happened to myself or my four year old daughter who was in her car seat. I honestly didn't even trust the emergency brake. I am scared to ever get in that car again. I called Country Hyundai right away and they said I will have to get it towed through roadside assistance. I asked what am I supposed to drive? The service manager said he couldn't help me with that.The tow truck driver attempted to get my car to go into park and other gears but couldn't. My car was then towed to the closest dealer. My car didn't even go to Country Hyundai. It went to Balise. Balise Hyundai let my car sit in their lot for 2 days and the battery died. They attempted to do diagnostics after recharging my battery and said they can find no issues or warnings and the car is working again. Spoke to Hyundai corporate a case manager got back to me today 6/7 and said they can't find anything wrong so I can drive the death trap until it does it again. Then have it towed in and if it's under warranty they will attempt to repair it. I am beyond frustrated with this. I have never experienced something like this.

On May 27, 2022 I started my car in the parking garage at work. The engine stuttered slightly but recovered. After I left the garage and accelerated I found that the car would not rev past 3000 rpm. At 3000 rpm the car began to lose power. It would recover when you backed off of the accelerator. This issue continue for the 27 mile trip from work to home. I restarted the car once I reached home and it was okay. I have tried to recreate the issue and it has not happened again. I took the car in for service and Hyundai dealership could not find any issue or recreate the problem. I am attaching the service invoice. I did find other 2022 Hyundai Tucson owners reporting the same issue in online forums so thought it best to provide info to both the NHTSA and Hyundai USA.

The contact owned a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph when a semi-truck failed to slow down with traffic and crashed into the rear passenger side of the vehicle. The side air bags failed to deploy. The contact had bruising on their body and the passenger had injuries to their head and bruising to the body. Medical attention was needed. A police report was filed. The vehicle had been towed and deemed totaled. The semi-truck was damaged as well. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 14,670.

I have owned the car for 5 months. But have had the ability to drive it for four and a half of them. This vehicle has put me and my family at serious risk multiple time. The first incident my car would not accelerate when I drove onto the highway and it would constantly stutter when I would attempt to accelerate again causing a truck to almost rear end us. The following day my vehicle had a hot engine temp. I pulled over on the highway to an empty antifreeze tank. Refilled it multiple times to only have it empty out and completely shut off while we were driving! Took it to the dealership where it took them 2 weeks to return it. When I asked what the problem was they said they don't know they just replaced it. 3 weeks later ( 5/28/22) while driving back from an event the car starts making a clunking sound and shuts off on me 3 times on my way home with my 9 and 7 year old in the back. Thank goodness it wasn't on the highway! It's now 6/1/22 and I still haven't heard anything about my vehicle! This death box has put my family at risk 5 times. I would strongly advise against buying it! The manufacturer could care less. Luckily the lemon law protects them against people who's lives are constantly put at risk while driving there vehicle!
