2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Complaints

I have had 2 failures of the EGR valve. The first was covered under warranty. Hyundai is refusing to cover the second repair even though I think it should be covered under the 80,000 mile federal emissions warranty. The vehicle currently has 73,000 miles.

When My wife was driving our car on the highway today to work, the car suddenly threw a "check hybrid system - pullover safely" light when she was at highway speeds. She was able to luckily pull over quickly onto the shoulder before the car completely powered down. This is incredibly dangerous. She had to click on the reset 12 volt hybrid battery button in the car to get it started again but the complete loss of power at highway speed was very upsetting.

We brought our 2022 Hyundai Tucson into our local Hyundai dealership under warranty for Technical Service Bulletin MISFIRE DTC (P030X) – INTERNAL GDI INJECTOR LEAK REPAIR. We were surprised to learn the dealership did not have the parts in stock considering this is a widely known issue and we incurred significant expenses while waiting for the vehicle to be repaired. Expenses incurred: $211.47 for Enterprise car rental (2026 Hyundai Sonata) from 1/19/26 to 1/23/26 $140.00 to have the vehicle towed to the dealership since it could not be driven $18.14 for Uber to local rental car agency Total out-of-pocket expenses: $369.61 All documentation was presented to Hyundai corporate, but we have been waiting 3 weeks and the company has not reimbursed or provided any update. On a related note, to avoid the inconvenience of having to bring our vehicle in again for another known issue, we asked if the current recall on our vehicle could be completed while our car was in the shop for the week, but we were advised that our vehicle did not have any recalls. However, according to NHTSA.gov, there is an existing safety recall that was issued more than 2 months ago on December 19, 2025 (NHTSA Safety Issue ID #25V893000 / Hyundai recall #290). The fact that we were told there were no recalls on our vehicle is unsettling and this experience has us seriously reconsidering if we will be purchasing another Hyundai again.

I was driving down the highway going about 60-65mph with cruise control and LKA on. I turned my blinker on to switch lanes, checked my blind spot, and moved over to the left. As I was doing so, a semi switched lanes from the left into the right (my new lane) right in front of me. The truck then slowed down a lot, and usually my Forward Collision Warning would say something if my Adaptive Cruise Control isn’t on (or is and I’m just going too fast to slow down) neither of those things happened. No warning. No automatic brakes. No slowing down. I tried to engage the brakes manually but nothing happened. I slammed into a semi at around 60mph because of 3 different system failures. Not only did I hit the semi at 60~mph, apparently my brakes didn’t work at all and I spun out until I hit the concrete barrier on the highway. If my brakes had engaged automatically, I could have slowed down enough to avoid the collision altogether. And if they had engaged manually I could have at least minimized the damage to my vehicle (and myself) because I wouldn’t have hit the concrete barrier as well.

Repeat Repair Timeline – Loss of Acceleration Vehicle: 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue Issue: Intermittent loss of acceleration from a complete stop (safety concern) Occurrence 1 Approx. Date: 12/2025 Mileage: ~ 48000 Description: Vehicle failed to accelerate immediately after a complete stop. Pressed accelerator and experienced a noticeable delay before the vehicle moved. No warning lights. Turned on and off. Restarted normal. Action Taken: No service visit at this time. Occurrence 2 Approx. Date: 01/2025 Mileage: 12/2025 Description: Same issue occurred again from a complete stop. Delay in acceleration while entering traffic. No dashboard warnings. Action Taken: Issue noted for future service visit. Occurrence 3 (Reported to Dealership) Date: 50,000-mile service 01/14/2025 Mileage: ~50,000 miles Description: Loss of acceleration from a stop occurred multiple times prior to this visit. I informed the dealership that this was a very dangerous safety issue. Dealership Response: Vehicle was serviced as part of the 50,000-mile maintenance. Dealership stated they could not find anything wrong. No specific repair or explanation provided. Outcome: Issue was not resolved. Occurrence 4 (Post-Service) Date: January 28, 2026 Mileage: ~55,999 miles Description: After coming to a complete stop, I pressed the accelerator and the vehicle did not respond for several seconds. No warning lights or alerts. This occurred after the dealership stated no issue was found. This condition has resulted in a dangerous delay while entering traffic and creates an immediate and ongoing safety risk to the myself and young children passengers, and surrounding vehicles. The defect involves a loss of acceleration / loss of motive power and has occurred repeatedly without warning. I am formally requesting escalation beyond the dealership level, full documentation of this safety defect, and a permanent corrective resolution. It is not safe.

I am submitting this complaint due to a potential safety-related engine failure that occurred while my vehicle was under dealership repair. My vehicle was dropped off at Huffines Hyundai on October 2, 2025, for a fuel injector issue and has remained under the dealership’s exclusive possession since that date. I have not driven or had access to the vehicle after drop-off. During the repair process, I was informed by dealership staff that an injector was seized in the fuel rail and difficult to remove. Although the injector replacement was documented as a short repair, the work was delayed and completed on October 16, 2025. Immediately following this repair, on October 17, 2025, the engine was documented by the dealership as having low compression. I was not notified of this condition until October 27, 2025. The engine damage occurred while the vehicle was under dealership control and immediately following a repair involving seized components. The diagnostic documentation provided to me is incomplete and does not include compression PSI values or supporting data. I am concerned that improper repair or handling may have caused internal engine damage, resulting in a condition that could lead to engine failure or unsafe operation. Due to the circumstances and lack of transparency, I do not feel the vehicle is safe to operate and am concerned about the risk of engine failure.

When getting onto the highway on November 30, 2025, the engine on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson made an odd sound, acceleration was compromised and the check engine light came on. My husband was driving and he safely navigated us off the highway and back to our home via city streets. We were very concerned we were going to break down on the highway or city street during a cold time of year. The next day we had the vehicle towed to a local auto service center and they diagnosed the problem as a failed fuel injector. They stated this was a known issue by Hyundai. The auto service center ordered the fuel injector kit to make the repair, but they were only allowed to repair the failed fuel injector, not all of them. I'm concerned another fuel injector will fail. If Hyundai knows about the fuel injector issue why haven't they issued a recall?
