2022 Hyundai Tucson

While driving the car the engine died, locking up both the gas and brake pedals. The car had to come to a stop on its own, my wife could not depress the gas or brake to stop the car. She was going through an intersection and narrowly avoided a major accident! The battery light came on, the check engine light and the car started to fill up with a smell of burning plastic and gas. When trying to turn the car back on after turning it off it would start with a major shake and bang then turn back off. All warning lights stayed on. Battery was fully charged still. Autobody shop found engine issues in their pre scan before sending it to Hyundai to warranty it as it only has 6,626 miles and is 2 years old. There was a warning of low battery while we were on vacation and the car was sitting for a few days. And a sluggish start when it sat for few days like the battery was low, but it wasn’t based on the volt meter.

At 37,430 mileage while driving on the interstate our vehicle check engine light came on, shortly after, our vehicle began to shake, and would stall if our RPM fell below 2000, placing us at a serious safety risk of breaking down and causing an accident on the interstate driving 80 mph. We were 290 miles from the nearest Hyundai service department, and managed to make it without breaking down. After inspecting our vehicle, the service department reported that our fuel injector for cylinder two needed replacing, but that it would take 3 business days to order the part, leaving us stranded 1600 miles from home for 6 days in total. On our way back home, at around 38,800 mileage, our check engine light came back on and are car began to shake and stall if our RPM fell below 2000 (same as before) while driving on the interstate. We were 140 miles from the nearest Hyundai service department and still 800 miles from home, leaving us stranded once again. The service department replaced our fuel injector for cylinder 1, and confirmed that this is a known issue for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson, but that Hyundai refuses to replace the fuel injectors until they go bad. This is extremely unsafe, and we still have two fuel injectors that will likely need replacing.

Fuel injector failure while driving at highway speeds to only have the car lose power and becoming a danger while attempting to get off the highway. The fuel injectors are a regular problem with this year, make, and model vehicle. The warning lamps didn’t come on until after loss of power. This is the second time that this has happened. First time was on July 12,2024..

I am dealing with my 3rd clogged fuel injector. My car lost power, starting shaking and wouldn’t accelerate. The engine light went on when it happened, not before. The first time I was on the highway, second time on a major thoroughfare. Not places where I could just pull over. Very scary. I got the first one fixed in 2023. This happened again a year later with a different fuel injector. I just got my car back 2 weeks ago and it is doing it again. I will have it towed but NOT to the dealer this time. They told me it wasn’t a problem with this car, until I called them out on it. Then she said she misunderstood. They are well aware of the problem. I can’t believe the dealer because they aren’t upfront about the problem. They didn’t even give me the paperwork this second time, just a receipt. I when I get this third one fixed, I will never be comfortable driving it

The component that failed are the visibility with headlights being completely snow packed and covered in a snow storm. The lights themselves did not fail, but the design causes snow to get stuck over all the headlights, which continues building to a point where 99%+ of light blocked. This has occurred numerous times since owning the car, easily 20+ times. VERY dangerous, oncoming cars will flash their headlights because the Tucson headlights are completely covered. Visibility is greatly decreased. Have to pull over multiple times driving in snow storms to break the snow and ice free from the headlights, only to build up again once driving. This puts not only our lives, but other drivers lives at risk. Just imagine driving in winter conditions, at night, with no headlights. Mentioned to dealer, but not documented anywhere and was not given any serious consideration. At that point we were focused on trying to get the power loss/hesitation and extremely rough shifting fixed. Big design flaw with the combination of headlights built into the grill, and with new technology, the lights must not get hot enough to melt the snow. Anyone who thinks that driving in a snow storm, at night, and no headlights isn't a huge safety issue or that this is exaggerated, I invite you to come take a ride with us this winter.

Fuel Injector went out while I was driving to work approximately 5,000 miles later, I was driving home from work and another fuel injector went out. Both times I had to have my car towed to the dealership. They said that was a recall on fuel injector but only could fix the one that went out each time. I am nervous about the next time it goes out. Where will I be and will it be dark and unsafe. I have been a loyal Hyundai car owner. I am now thinking about not purchasing another Hyundai and selling my Tuscon. Customer service and making sure customers are placed in a safe car at all times is very important. Hyundai failed this time.

I have a cylinder misfire related to known issues with this product and any dealership affiliated with warranty work are months out, there are no backup vehicles and Hyundai will not take any action until they are diagnosed. We have no backup vehicle and my wife was almost hit. There was sudden power loss of the vehicle and it is a safety concern. No reimbursement for rentals or alternate solutions provided

I was driving the car home on 8/20/24 at roughly 50 MPH, and I felt this brief bucking motion with the vehicle and a loss of power to the motor. The vehicle did not fully shut down and continued to drive, but it struggled when trying to accelerate. When I got home, I checked the Engine code through MyHyundai, which showed code P219CF0. I reached out to the dealership, leaving multiple voicemails, and after over a week of trying to get them on the phone, I went in person and scheduled an appointment for them to service the vehicle on 8/28. They were not able to see the vehicle until 9/3/24, and after talking with the service manager and reviewing my car history, they were confident it was another injector; he was ordering the parts because he said he didn't have any, and it would take a bit to get them. The car went in on 9/3 as planned, and they called to confirm that Cylinder 1 had an Air-Fuel Ratio imbalance and that the GDI Injector had failed. They had gotten in the injector but did not have the High Press Pipe needed to go along with it, and they would have the pipe in by 9/6. I'm unsure when the pipe arrived, but I called in mid-afternoon on 9/9/24, and they were wrapping up my vehicle and that it would be ready shortly. They performed the standard 34-point inspection on the vehicle and did not find further issues. I reached back out to Hyundai Motors America as I had reached out to them after my second Injector failed; at the time, they were unwilling to replace the remaining injectors proactively. I've now opened my second case with Hyundai Motors America. I am communicating through email now, and I do not believe Hyundai is willing to replace the final fuel injector proactively, even though the vehicle only has one original injector remaining, and based on the bulletin Hyundai has out, the chances are pretty good it will soon fail too.

I had gone out with my vehicle for an errand, and it was running fine. When I finished, I came back into the vehicle and started it up, and it was shaking tremendously on startup. I turned off the car, started it back on, and it started fine. I got about 300 feet from where I was going, not even ten mph, and the vehicle started shaking the same as minutes before; this time, a check engine light came on. I immediately parked it in a safe spot and called for Roadside Assistance. The dealership that serviced the vehicle informed me the DTC code was P030400, meaning the Fuel Injector for Cylinder 4 had failed. It was luckily replaced promptly. This was the second GDI Injector that had been replaced on the vehicle. Unfortunately, I was told there was a service bulletin on the problem and that the dealership was seeing a lot of this problem. I contacted Hyundai Motors America directly to try proactively to get the remaining two injectors replaced. Still, I was told that because there was no current issue with the injectors, they would be unable to provide any assistance proactively. The vehicle had 35645 miles on the motor when this incident occurred.
