All Fuel/propulsion System Complaints (112)
The fuel injectors in the car keep misfiring causing the car to shake while driving, be loud and idle hard. In the past I have already replaced two different fuel injectors and now this is a third one that needs replaced.
While driving our 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited with the 2.5L engine and about 39,000 miles, the check engine light suddenly came on. Right away the car started behaving strangely. The throttle response became jerky and uneven, and when idling the engine ran at a higher RPM than normal and sounded off. The vehicle also struggled to accelerate, which made it feel unsafe to drive. Thankfully this happened while we were not on the highway, but if it had occurred while merging or keeping up with traffic, it could have been dangerous. Even in city driving, the jerky response and slower acceleration created risk. What would normally be a safe turn across or into traffic could easily have turned into a slower, delayed turn and a potential accident. When we got home, I checked the code and it said it was a cylinder misfire on cylinder 3. The car had been regularly serviced at the dealer and had never shown signs of this issue before. Based on the symptoms, I suspect it may be related to the fuel injectors, but we haven’t been able to get the vehicle in for inspection because local dealers are backed up. One dealer even told us it was fine to keep driving as long as the check engine light wasn’t blinking, which feels concerning given the way the car is performing.
Car started stalling and misfiring. When I took the vehicle for service they said it was a known issue and they were replacing all 4 fuel injectors. This was my wife’s car. About a year and a half ago the same thing happened to my 2022 Hyundai Tucson N-Line. I have googled around and found many many issues of the same thing happening on 2022 Tucsons.
I just bought this car back in february. It has 50k miles on it. Five minutes after starting it, and in the middle of a busy road, my accelerator suddenly stopped working, my car started shaking, and then it died. My dash lit up and it turns out, it was an issue with the factory fuel injectors.
Driving on Interstate 64 in southern Indiana approximately 70 mph in left lane when engine died without any warning signs. Was able to safely maneuver vehicle to shoulder without incident. Paid to have the vehicle towed 60 miles to Hyundai dealer. Dealer stated engine failure was due to injector issue known by Hyundai as a technical issue was released.
Fuel injectors failed after 4 years of having the car. This led to misfiring, shaking of car, and complete shut down of car within 10 seconds of starting the vehicle.
All four GDI injectors failed resulting in the car completely stopping on the highway.
Two separate times over the last year I’ve had a fuel injector go bad after using the auto start feature in semi colder temperatures. I’m not sure if the auto start has something to do with it but seems to be a cold weather issue.
What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Cylinder 4 fuel injector failed while driving 70 MPH down the highway. The dealer or manufacturer will have the faulty parts for inspection. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Loss of power and acceleration put me and others at risk; I could not go over 40 MPH on the highway, the car was lurching the entire time. Inattentive drivers being the main concern, with low speeds and driving/sitting still on the shoulder of the road. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the dealership I had it towed to confirmed the injector failed. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? The manufacturer is aware of the issue. There is a TSB issued that asks the dealer to send the faulty parts back to them. They are fully aware of the issue and are choosing to replace faulty parts with equally faulty parts. The dealer told me the replacement injectors “are not supposed to have the factory defect” but confirmed they are the same parts. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the engine light came on and I lost power/acceleration simultaneously.
It’s been three years now and I had “Brake system failure” happened two times in 3 years. When traveling the brake system warning appears and while driving, and stopped at sign brake releases slightly and car would start to move unless I apply brakes firmly again. When slowing down at traffic lights holding the brake doesn’t bring car to complete stop. I had apply brake, slightly release and then apply again until car comes to full stop. I was told they need to replace IEB module and brake pedal module replacement. I checked in Reddit and other platforms where users had seen the issue multiple times on their vehicles. Also had an issue with Fuel system like replacement of Egr valve which seems to be common on multiple Vehicles.
Taken car to work, driving down highway check engine light come on with loss of power. Took to dealership reported cylinder number 3 fuel injector was stuck open. Replaced all 4 injectors. Found TSB for it
I went to fill up the gas and the gas cap door would not open. The gas station attendant tried to help with no luck. I drove to the dealer - the fuel release actuator had failed. Part was replaced under warranty. I am lucky I had enough gas to get to the dealer. Very scary when you can’t put gas in your car!
I have had 3 fuel injectors go out on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. When this happened it was completely random and my car would stall and I would be stuck on the side of the road. I have had to miss work due to this happening. They told me that they are only able to replace the broken one each time instead of replace the all 4 while covered under warranty. They also told me that fuel injectors breaking is a common problem in 2022 and newer Tucson's as they are higher pressure systems than previous models. Im worried that this is going to keep happening and I'm going to keep breaking down due to fuel injectors breaking and end up stranded somewhere.
Stopped accelerating/disabled in the middle of interstate during rush hour traffic
Hyundai has a known issue with GDI fuel injectors. Car begins to shake and lose power and eventually will stall due to cylinder misfire caused by defective injectors.
Fuel injector failure. Car was losing power completely when pressing the gas pedal then would suddenly catch and go again. Then go very slowly with little power, almost got into an accident because of the loss of acceleration. They replaced the fuel injectors and it is now happening a second time with the check engine light coming on again. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE! SEVERAL OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON HERE!!!!!!!
I am submitting this complaint due to repeated and dangerous fuel injector failures on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson. This is the third time this issue has occurred in less than three years of ownership. •First incident: My vehicle broke down on the side of the road while I was 10 hours away from home in Florida. This left me stranded and required towing and repairs. •Second incident: The fuel injectors failed again, though fortunately closer to my home. •Third and most recent incident: The same issue happened again, this time with my wife driving—a major safety concern. We purchased this vehicle specifically to avoid breakdowns like this and for the safety and reliability it was supposed to provide. This recurring failure is unacceptable for a newer vehicle and poses a significant safety risk to my family and other drivers. Fuel injector failure can lead to stalling in traffic or on highways, increasing the potential for accidents. I urge NHTSA to investigate this matter, as it appears to be a systemic issue with this model and could lead to serious harm if not addressed.
My fuel injectors has been blown and Hyundai will not replace all 4 when one goes out. So I have to keep going back up to the dealership to get it fixed each time. They always blow on the highway. The first time I was doing some distance driving from Columbus, OH to Dayton, OH. Then the other time happened when I was on the highway during rush hour traffic. There were no other warnings before this happens. It just happens and the engine light comes on as the steering will begins to shakes like crazy.
I’ve already had my fuel injections changed about 20,000 miles again and my car is starting to stall again check engine light on again seems to be same issue now my car is no longer under warranty. I don’t seem this problem on the recall list but this is not a problem I want to have every 20,000 miles.
For the second time I was driving and all of a sudden lost power and couldn’t give it gas to go. I was almost hit from behind both times.
While merging onto [XXX] in Southington, CT, the vehicle would not accelerate past 25 MPH which is very dangerous for merging onto an interstate highway. Luckily, my wife was able to safely pull over onto the shoulder. We shut the vehicle off for a minute, restarted it, and have had no problems since. There were no warnings, and no check engine indicator was displayed. I'll contact the dealer this month at a regular maintenance visit.

My high pressure fuel injectors and spark plug had to be replaced at 72,000 miles. My check engine light came on and the car started vibrating and was not accelerating properly. I spoke to three Hyundai dealership service centers and each of them acknowledged that it was a known issue with 2022 Hyundai Tucsons.
FUEL INJECTORS FAILURE..... SECOND ONE IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. BROKE DOWN ON MAJOR HIGHWAY.. TOWED TO HUNDAI IN CAPE GIRARDAU AS IT IS UNDER POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT PART OF THE POWER TRAIN EVEN THOUGH IT IS IN THE ENGINE. KNOWN ISSUE,, LAST TIME THE MECHANIC TOLD US IT WAS PART OF POWER TRAIN. THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE.
Fuel injectors. It is available for inspection. (Please!)This is the second failing of an engine, fuel or Powertrain issue. The car was in motion and suddenly just lost power. The first time it occurred about a month after purchased brand new in 2022, the car was coming from a stop light into the middle of an intersection. Driver was thankfully able to glide to side of road since it was early morning and had it towed to dealership. Second time it happened approximately 2 1/2 years later May 29, 2025, the car once again lost engine power at an intersection. Driver, again ,was in a fortunate position to glide off road from a right turn lane. If driver had been in left lanes going speed (55) this would not have ended as well. The car would not restart. Car was towed to dealership. The dealership confirmed that this was a known issue and there was a TSB out. However, there are no kits available to fix it at the moment. And we have no time frame for getting our car back and they have not provided a loaner. The vehicle has only been inspected by the Hyundai dealership. There were absolutely NO warnings before either incidents. However, once the car was in possession at the dealership, we received a phone call from Hyundai BlueLink saying we had a Powertrain issue, which did not make sense since our car had been sitting for two weeks unserviced. If this was related to the same issue they were at least two weeks late. Dealership did not confirm Powertrain issue or how anything would be resolved.
Cylinder 2 misfires, engine code P0302. Yes, it is available. Engine loses power during acceleration. Yes, Hyundai of Anderson (South Carolina) No warning or symptoms. Driving great then the engine starting misfiring going down the interstate.
Without warning the car started misfiring while I was driving around town. It continued and became worse. I was in Wisconsin on vacation with the closest Hyundai dealer over an hour away. Mileage was 62416 and I had the tires replaced two weeks prior to leaving and while there I explained I would be driving from Virginia to Wisconsin and asked they let me know if the vehicle needed any service. I took it to a local shop to see if it was something easily repaired and was told it was probably a fuel injector and I should take it to the dealership as it may be under warranty. So I had to have it towed and rent a car. According to the dealership the warranty for the fuel injectors ended at 60000 miles.
My car stopped on the street without notice, check engine light came on and won’t moved, no power on acceleration. Was towed to dealership. Next two days, they told me that two fuel injectors were blocked/broke. I searched on internet and that has happened in many vehicles.
Component or System That Failed: After a routine oil change at Rick Case Hyundai of Roswell on Saturday, \[insert date], my 2022 Hyundai Tucson began shaking significantly. The dealership later informed me the issue was related to a **malfunction in the fuel injector system**. The vehicle is currently at the dealership and available for inspection upon request. How Safety Was Put at Risk: The shaking occurred immediately upon driving away from the dealership and worsened rapidly. I was concerned about losing control of the vehicle orengine stalling while driving, which could pose a danger to myself, passengers, and others on the road. I returned the vehicle immediately to avoid further risk. Reproduced or Confirmed by Dealer or Service Center: Yes, the problem was confirmed by the dealership (Rick Case Hyundai of Roswell). They diagnosed the issue as being related to fuel injector failure. I am waiting on a written report and confirmation of warranty coverage. Inspected by Manufacturer, Police, Insurance, or Others: At this point, the issue has been inspected and diagnosed by the Hyundai dealership. It has not been inspected by police, insurance, or any other outside parties. Warning Lamps, Messages, or Other Symptoms Before Failure: Warning Lamps, Messages, or Other Symptoms Before Failure: Yes, the check engine light turned on shortly after I noticed the vehicle shaking. The symptoms began **immediately after the oil change**, and the engine light appeared as the shaking worsened. There were no prior warning signs before this incident. This suggests a sudden failure, possibly related to the fuel injection system*, as diagnosed by the dealership.
Engine started idling rough, loss of power. Trouble codes show misfiring in Cylinder 4, believed to be from faulty fuel injectors
On May 20, 2025, at approximately 76,100 miles, I attempted to open the fuel filler door on my 2022 Hyundai Tucson and found that it would not release. The car was unlocked and parked, but the fuel door remained stuck. I eventually managed to open it only after a frenzied random sequence of repeatedly pressing the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob while simultaneously pressing on the fuel door. The mechanism finally released after many attempts, but it was inconsistent and unreliable. A second incident occurred on May 26, 2025 at 76,460 miles when I needed to refuel. While I was not stranded, the experience was frustrating and concerning — especially since the vehicle does not appear to have any kind of manual emergency fuel door release. If this issue occurred while low on fuel or far from help, it could lead to a significant inconvenience or hazard. I brought the vehicle to a Hyundai dealership on May 28, 2025 and demonstrated the problem to a Service Advisor. The Advisor that assisted me was unaware of the problem and could not find a recall or Technical Service Bulletin (TSB). Since it is past the 60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, I was told the issue would not be covered; I would have to pay out of pocket. However, I’ve read about other 2022/2023 Tucson owners experiencing similar failures, suggesting a possible design flaw in the fuel door actuator or latch assembly. I believe this should be reviewed as a potential defect. Consistent failures of a basic refueling mechanism across multiple vehicles should be taken seriously.
While driving home on the freeway in stop-go traffic, the check engine light suddenly came on. At idle and low speed, the engine ran very rough with lots of vibration and acceleration became difficult. I got off the freeway as soon as possible to take surface streets as I felt unsafe continuing to drive on the freeway. The car continued to vibrate significantly. This happened very close to home and I was able to get home but slowly. When the car cooled down I checked the fluid levels - oil was fine and clear but coolant level was low despite a recent service where a coolant flush was performed and the coolant level was at the minimum level indicated by the reservoir. The dealer performed a test and the fuel injector unit for cylinder 3 failed. Apparently there is no observable coolant leak. The car is now awaiting repair under warranty, but the part is not available for 8 weeks. The dealer intends to replace the failed injector when the part arrives.
Fuel injector failure. Vehicle misfired at startup. When attempting to accelerate, vehicle was hesitating and couldn’t. Towed to dealer and they were able to recreate the issue and place code reader on vehicle to find injector problem. Dealer states that Hyundai is revamping all fuel injectors, not just replacing with current supply on faulty injectors. Car will be at dealer for unknown period of time due to nationwide parts supply shortage
In Dec. 2023 my car stopped dead in the middle of the road. After being towed to ABC Hyundai in las Vegas they had to replace a fuel injector and I was told it could occur again On [XXX] the car began sputtering and shaking. When I bought it in I was told it was the fuel injector. I was told that Hyundai no longer changes just the one injector as they did before but now Hyundai has a complete kit. There was none at the dealership so it was ordered on Sat May 17 and told it would be in on Tues May20 but now I'm told it's back ordered. They are supposed to give a loaner but non available. I cannot be without a car as I live alone and need a car. I called corporate customer service today May 22 but the won't get back to me for several days. I was told by dealer service to rent a car and I would get reimbursed but corporate said that it would be at my discretion. My car has 14700 miles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6
At only 35k miles. Check engine display with heavy vibration due to misfire faulty fuel injectors. Repair took one month. Seems like Hyundai is not taking any action for this common safty issue.
Faulty injectors, engine was shaking, sluggish acceleration, possibly fuel mixed into the oil, check engine light on for cylinder misfires.
Fuel injectors fail at 26K miles
I purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson brand new, expecting it to be a reliable and safe vehicle for many years. Unfortunately, the fuel injectors failed and had to be replaced far too early in the car’s life. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The fuel injection system failed. The injectors had to be replaced, and the problem persists even after the repair. I believe the issue may still be present and can be made available for inspection if needed. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? The vehicle continues to run poorly and unpredictably, which puts me and my family at risk—especially while driving at higher speeds or in heavy traffic. I’m concerned about stalling, power loss, or a potential engine fire due to leaking fuel. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue was diagnosed and confirmed by the dealership, and the fuel injectors were replaced. Despite this, the engine still doesn’t perform correctly. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle was inspected by the dealership during service, but not by police, the manufacturer directly, or insurance representatives. Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, there were signs of rough idling, engine hesitation, and overall poor performance before the failure. These symptoms started appearing within the first year of ownership. I have since learned that many other owners of 2022 Hyundai Tucsons are experiencing the same issue. I believe this is a widespread defect that poses a safety concern and needs urgent investigation.

My 2022 Hyundai Tuscon is in the shop for a SECOND time due to a bad fuel injector. The first time was 4 months ago. My vehicle's check engine light went on and it went into "limp mode" on a major roadway. (I take all major highways to work.) A vehicle going into "limp mode" on a highway is super dangerous. My check engine light went on once again, and I brought it into the dealership service center. I left it there for 36 hours, only to learn that they did not have the parts on site to do the repairs. I have to bring it BACK for another 24-36 hours for the repair to be completed on a SECOND bad fuel injector. How Hyundai hasn't issued a recall for the fuel injectors yet is appalling.
In December 2024, the engine lost power while driving. We were able to pull over on a busy road, where we were blocking traffic on a curve. We had it towed to the dealership. There was no warning or light indicating any problem. Thankfully we were not on the freeway when this occurred. The Hyundai app said that all systems in the vehicle were normal. The fuel injector was replaced by Hyundai. Now, 4 months later, the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership, and another fuel injector needed to be replaced. The service manager stated that he requested that all of the fuel injectors be replaced because this is a known issue, but Hyundai denied the request, so they only replaced one fuel injector. I am expecting this to happen again, and I am especially worried that the vehicle could lose power while driving on the freeway. Please note that this vehicle was purchased new, and I have had all the scheduled maintenance performed at the Hyundai dealership.
August 26, 2024, (and again on 4/10/2025...I will file that complaint separately) I experienced very rough engine performance and I could not throttle or go faster than 20 mph without the engine seriously rattling. In August under warranty a fuel injector was replaced, and now again in April 2025 the same problem again. Twice I was on a major highway but was luck to be able to get off so as not to cause an accident.
While driving in Dallas the engine seemed to have problems. We ended up pulling over and having the vehicle towed to a Hyundai dealer in Arlington TX where we live because we were concerned the vehicle was unsafe to drive and could stall out on a freeway. The dealer informed us they needed to replace the fuel injectors at a cost of approximately $1800. The vehicle has approx 60,000 miles and we also purchased an extended warranty. Apparently no warranties cover this issue according to the dealer. It seems Hyundai should take some responsibility for this defect which could be potentially dangerous when driving the vehicle with these known issues.
September 15, 2024 while driving with cruise control set at 65mpg, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson began shaking and experienced an abrupt loss of power. I released the cruise control, and the vehicle wouldn't accelerate over 45 mph without shaking severely. September 16, 2024 car was inspected by a dealership and determined it was the 4th cylinder fuel injector; mileage on the vehicle was 45,314. Repairs were made per a TSB P030X. January 27, 2025, while driving with cruise control at 60mph, the same thing happened again. Managed to get the car to another dealership, only to find out all 4 fuel injectors needed to be replaced; this time with a TSB 25-FL-001H kit; mileage was 50181. Approximately March 11, 2025 car started the same issue, only this time there was no abrupt shaking or loss of power, however very strong smell of fumes. I refused to park the car in my garage, and immediately called Hyundai USA with all of this information from the start of these issues until current. The car was then taken to another dealership with mileage at 51332, only a difference of 1151 miles since last issue. This time all of the fuel injector seals are melted. Hyundai USA refuses to do anything about it. It was verified with the service technician this last time, that raw fuel was leaking onto the hot engine and could have resulted in the car catching on fire. The first two times this happened, I was out of state while being broken down.
Fuel injectors failed. It's been 3 weeks and it hasn't been fixed yet. It is still under warranty. But it's been 3 weeks.
The fuel injectors are bad. When the first fuel injector failed, the Hyundai mechanic stated that the remainder of fuel injectors would also fail but they could not proactively replace them. Two fuel injectors have failed in the matter of 6 months and it’s expected the last two will follow suit.
Vehicle began shaking upon starting and was not accelerating properly. Engine light came on and a warning appeared on the LED screen to take care to dealer immediately. Upon inspection by the dealer, the problem was determined to be a faulty fuel injector (on Thursday 3/20). The part is NOT kept in stock at the dealer and was ordered from the warehouse for delivery the next day (Friday 3/21). I should have had the car repaired and returned to me by end of day 3/21 or next day, Saturday 3/22. I called after not receiving an update on Friday and was told the part is on BACKORDER. When the problem was diagnosed on 3/20, at the Hyundai dealer service department, the employee in the service department admitted that this was a common problem with the Tuscon and that no recall had been issued. He also said that the car is NOT DRIVABLE until the issue is fixed. A quick Google search showed that is very much a serious and common issue. I also appears that once one goes out, the rest will start to need to be replaced and are being done AS THEY BREAK, rather than replacing them all and/or fixing what is causing them to be faulty. I was told they have no idea when the parts will be ready. It clearly is a common problem if they do not have the parts readily available to fix my vehicle. In addition, he added it may take up to several weeks. The car just turned 3 years old and has 34,000 miles on it. I have NEVER had such a bad issue with any new care I have owned. There was absolutely no indication anything was wrong on prior drives before starting up the car. I had just driven it 260 miles to my daughter's college and back. Thank goodness it didn't happen on the busy highway or on one of the country roads in the middle of cornfields. The dealer service employee said the broken part would be "sent for inspection" once they have it off and a new part available.
1-- Fuel injector failed 11/2023 one month to replace it, 2-- Fuel injector failed 3/2025 in dealer, 3-- Fuel door does not open, replaced by dealer 3/2025
Fuel injectors failed. I was left on the side of a rural road for 2.5 hours waiting on a tow truck. No warning lights came on until my car was dead. I was told the injectors (4 of them) had failed by the dealership service center. This vehicle is still under warranty.
Fuel injector failure. Sudden loss of engine power creates a major safety issue when traveling at speed on highways or especially busy interstate highways. Vehicle was towed to dealer and repaired under warranty promptly. This is a known issue with this and other Hyundai models and all four fuel injectors should be replaced. At present, Hyundai only authorizes one be replaced at a time as they malfunction.
2022 to hyundai tuscon now with the third cylinder misfire due to faulty fuel injector. This can be inspected upon request. Upon second occurrence, requested all cylinders be replaced and advised could not do this under warranty. Second filing to NHTSA. This incident put myself and other drivers at risk. I was driving on a highway and the cylinder misfire occurred resulting in check engine light and vehicle going into limp mode and inability to drive more than 30-40 mph. The entire vehicle violently shakes and loses power with this misfire. In the previous occurrences , could not accelerate beyond 20 mph. I could have been rear ended or caused a serious accident on the highway as a result of Hyundai faulty fuel injectors and cylinder misfires. My vehicle has now been seen 3x for the same issue and replaced by dealer. There were no warning signs prior to the failure of the fuel injector resulting in cylinder misfire and loss of power and inability to accelerate. This is a very dangerous faulty component of this year make and model- it is a known issue. Still no recall. I have a "new" car that puts me in danger every 4-6 months when I lose power in my vehicle with no warning or cause except from faulty parts. This faulty part is going to cause serious injuries/accidents if it is not addressed.
While driving on the highway, I attempted to accelerate up to 70 mph and the check engine light came on and the front end of the car started shaking. Had to pull over and restart the car to continue safely. This has happened four separate times at different mileage variables and each time they replace 2-3 of my fuel injectors with no explanation as to what is causing them to constantly blow. They never make it even 1000 miles before at least one goes out again. My vehicle is approaching 52,000 miles and has been serviced four times for this since December 2023. This needs to be a vehicle recall as the warranty will not pay for this forever and the underlying cause of the problem is not being addressed by Hyundai.
Lost acceleration while driving on the freeway and car started shaking with Check Engine light on. Took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and was informed that #4 injector failed causing the engine to misfire. This was the 3rd fuel injector failing in 5 months. Per my service advisor, Hyundai released an updated TSB (25-FL-001H) in January 2025 with a 4 new fuel injector replacement kit. Unfortunately, this injector kit was so new that I had to drive a service rental car for a week waiting for the kit to arrive. Let's see if these new fuel injectors will last longer than the old ones.
Car was driving fine. Started sputtering and died, unable to restart. No prior warning injectors will fail. Known fuel injector problem with model years found and replaced. Hyundai Tsb 25-fl-001h used.
Fuel injectors failed while driving on parkway. Car lost power(would not go over 25mph) without notice. Not fun driving at 60mph then abrutly go to 25mph on left lane cars behind me nearly hit my car and could have caused a major pileup.There was no warning prior to losing power and check engine lights came on maybe 2 minutes later. Was able to get to right lane and exit parkway to a secure location to have car towed to dealership. Dealership replaced the fuel injectors.
My 2022 Tucson's fuel injectors for the first cylinders have failed, creating a misfires in cylinder one.
Within the first year of purchase, my power train system has beeb throwing codes. I took it to the dealership where they assured me nothing was wrong. My fuel injectors then gave out. The dealership replaced them and told me “yes these things are faulty and we see it a lot”. After replacing it, they did not seal the fuel injectors, causing gas to gush out and set my car to smoke. I was ill from inhaling gas fumes for days. They took accountability and said that the injectors were defective in the vehicles and that they would once again fix it. I am not experiencing further engine issues which they do not know how to diagnose. My car is a 2022 purchase from the lot. The engine is defective and Hyundai is negligent. They admitted they were aware of the injector issue but didn’t do much to correct this. After corrected, they almost had my car set on fire from fuel pouring on the engine.
This is the 3rd time that my 2yr old Tuscon failed and had to be towed in a 4 month period. I was at a light and when it turned green, the vehicle barely moved when I pressed on the accelerator. I was only able to drive a few feet and pulled over and had to have it towed again. They are only replacing the fuel injectors as they fail!!
While on a trip my wife started out leaving the hotel as normal. After a minute of so, we lost the ability to accelerate as if the Tuscon was not responding to the gas pedal. We were lucky we were in town so we pulled into a gas station and turned off the truck. I thought it might be bad gas so we filled the tank with hi-test and turned off several features that are related to speed control (like tracking the speed limit etc.) I have noticed at the same time we lost the ISG system (Idle stop and Go). The indication in the owner's manual points to a battery function that detects the battery is fully charged. I used a voltmeter and the battery reads 12.5v and is charging at 14v. See today's recall for Hyundai vehicles, I think the problem involves a lot more vehicles. If you check the Hyundai forum, there are a lot of complaints on Tucson as well. I hope you take this into consideration when looking into this intergrated charging control issue.
The fuel injection system has failed 3 times now causing the car to become slow/sluggish while driving (sudden slow down and lurching). This is a known issue with the car per [XXX] . Each time, the dealer has stated it's a known issue that's not covered by warranty or recall. Each time, the technician has stated that they are unsure why it hasn't been recalled given the prevalence of the issue and the risk of causing an accident.

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson stalled in the middle of a busy highway with my wife in the vehicle. The car suddenyly stalled while going 75mph and she was almost killed and got rear ended. Later we were informed by the dealership that there is a inherent issue with the fuel injection system on these vehicles and the fuel injector has gone bad. These people only replaced the faulty injector. Two months back another injector went bad and then i researched and found this is a bad engineering issue. Now Hyundai is trying to hide behind the veil of Texas Leamon law and is not taking any responsibility or buying back the vehicle. Hyundai forums are full of this problem and many people avoided near death experience because of the stall. I can provide reditt and hyundai forum urls for reference if required.
2 months ago our engine control system warning light came on with a great decrease in speed while driving on the freeway. Brought to Hyundai dealership and was determined that fuel injector 1 misfired and needed replacement. Just last week exact same issue in fuel injector 4 occurred. They admitted issues with 2022 Tuscon injectors but won’t replace until they fail as no recall. This is a massive safety issue as can be driving at a high rate of speed and speed slows immediately.
Running lean on bank 1-Dealership states it is a bad fuel injector on cylinder 1says it is not covered under 100,000 mile warranty. Vehicle currently at 80,000 mile. Radio in vehicle is restarting itself and not shutting off when car is turned off. Radio does not respond to commands such as volume adjustment. Dealership performed software update, but it did not work.
Here we go again. Last time the #3 fuel injector failed while driving on the freeway. Car started shaking and lost acceleration with "check engine" warning light on. Two months later, #2 fuel injector failed while driving on the street with same symptoms as last time. Fortunately, both incidents did not cause any accident but was terrifying. I requested the Hyundai service dealer replace the remaining fuel injectors and again, was informed that Hyundai will only authorize them to replace a defective injector when it's failed. I do not understand Hyundai's logical thinking. Hyundai is fully aware of this issue and have already sent out TSBs. Are they waiting for someone to be in an accident and have major bodily injury caused by defective fuel injectors before taking this matter seriously? I will also address this matter to Hyundai Corporation for a response.
Check engine light and error message popped up on screen "A possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected. A full system check is recommended to be done when convenient. Please contact your local dealership to schedule an appointment." Roughly 46500 miles. Contacted BlueLink and they could not help because dealerships were already closed.
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
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.
Fuel injector failure. UTC code PO030300 detected at 27500 miles. Car is shaky and loss of power in idle. Code showing on infortainment screen. Taken to dealership on 9/17/24 with appointment and vehicle was not "diagnosed" until 9/19/24. From loss of power, with children in car it is a safety issue.
I was driving on the highway, and at roughly 55 MPH, the vehicle suddenly lost power; it seemed to regain function momentarily, and then the check engine light went on, and then the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was then rolling. Thankfully I was able to throw hazards on quick enough and the vehicles around me were alert enough not to collide into my vehicle and I was able to get the vehicle over to the shoulder before the lost momentum. The vehicle was then towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. The dealership informed me that the engine produced code P030200, meaning that the fuel injector on Cylinder 2 had failed. They were able to replace it. The vehicle was at 24188 miles at the time.
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.
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 2 fuel injectors fail on my car within a 3 week period. The car is only 2.5 yrs old and has 48,500mi on it Both instances where when I was on a highway. I had the 1st fuel injector fail on [XXX] and then the 2nd one failed about 3 weeks later on [XXX]. When the 2nd fuel injector failed, I was barely able to drive the car to a safe place to get it towed. I spoke with a Hyundai Corp case worker and I asked why they didn't just replace the remaining 2 fuel injectors. Her response was that they don't replace them when they fail. I now have a 2 year old car that I am afraid to drive because I never know where or when It will leave me stranded.

(2) fuel injectors failed while driving on the highway. This is a know issue with Hyundai, but no recall has been issued. The warranty would have covered it up to 60k miles. My odometer was at 60,232.
Vehicle suddenly unable to accelerate. Engine shuddered & produced a burning smell until we could safely pull over. Towed to dealership where diagnostics showed faulty fuel injector & they replaced 1 GDI fuel injector per TSB 23-FL-002H-1.
My service advisor said that another fuel injector would probably go out but it wouldnt be covered under warranty until the car stalled. I am planning to move to Idaho from Texas for college so I spent $840 for new fuel injectors. The engine was pulsating and lost power multiple times. Definitely not what I was expecting to spend on a 2 year old car.
On August 13, 2024, while merging onto the freeway with a driving speed of around 45mph, my car suddenly lost acceleration and started shaking. Seconds later, the "check engine" warning indicator light came on as well. I slowly got off the freeway still without acceleration power and found a safe place to park the car. I contacted Hyundai Roadside Assistance to request a towing service to the Hyundai dealer. I left the car at the dealer overnight and contacted the Service Advisor the next day. The Service Advisor stated that one of the fuel injectors was defective and will be replaced under the warranty. After researching online, defective fuel injectors for my car are a well known issue from the public and Hyundai service departments (2 related TSBs were issued in October 2022 and March 2023). Incredulously, per the Service Advisor, Hyundai will only replace the defective fuel injector one at a time. NHTSA should demand Hyundai to recall all affected vehicles listed in the TSBs to replace all fuel injectors at the same time (defective or not) to prevent another sudden acceleration power loss, which may cause a major traffic accident and great bodily harm.
Car lost power as I was entering fast traffic area. Acceleration became unresponsive and vehicle came to halt. Would not move there after. Had it occurred a few seconds later I would’ve found myself unable to accelerate in an acceleration lane, or shortly after merging potentially causing injury to myself and others. After getting the issue diagnosed by Hyundai it is apparently a faulty fuel injectors. Researching online, this appears to be a known problem for the 2022 Hyundai Tucson with many claiming they were left stranded on highways, at intersections and during snow fall. In general this issue makes owners fearful to drive their cars. Apparently, this may be caused by a bad batch of injectors but to my knowledge Hyundai only replaces known bad injectors instead of replacing all injectors from the faulty batch. Due to this many experience multiple failures in short periods in short periods of time, increasing risk of safety incidents. My vehicle’s failed at approximately 22k miles but others have reported failures much sooner.
2022 Hyundai Tucson with repeated check engine light and vehicle losing power. Vehicle losing power and inability to exceed speeds of 15 mph with vehicle shaking, knocking, and pedals shaking. No warning that this was going to occur until vehicle becomes unsafe to drive. This has happened twice and one of which was on a high way which created an incredibly unsafe situation. First time diagnostic code was P0303 which was a cylinder 3 misfire and second time - less than 4 months later- diagnostic code was a P0302 cylinder 2 misfire. Hyundai only repairs one injector at a time; refusing to do all 4 despite being a heavily documented issue on this make/model. This would be able to be confirmed by request. This was also confirmed both times by two separate independent service centers. Vehicle has about 25,000 miles on it and has had 3 check engine lights over the past 3 years of owning- it was bought new. The first time was 2 days of owning and it was a bad IAT that resulted in engine stalling once again. All 3 times the car was unable to be driven and created substantial safety concerns with inability to drive.
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.
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.

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.
Vehicle started jerking and sputtering. Loss of rapid acceleration. Check engine light came on. Did this at idle and all speeds.
The first incident was on 5/27/24 when I was traveling about 45 mph. The check engine light came on and the car started to shimmy and shake when I pressed the gas. Error code came up on the screen for P0304, injector #4 was bad. Had the vehicle towed to the closest dealer for warranty repair and was told this is a known issue but no recall has been placed. Then on 7/16/24, same thing happened while traveling out of town. Hyundai app was down so couldn't get an error code. Again had the vehicle towed to a dealer and this code was P0302, #2 injector was bad. Obviously there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Need to know if this is a permanent fix or if the other 2 will go out soon. I attached a photo of this report and can also get a copy of the one from May as needed.
Fuel injector failure on 02/2024. Fuel injector failure on 06/2024. Both times car lost power and started shaking. Hyundai service center will only replace one at a time. Car only has 28k miles.

A faulty fuel injector caused my Tuscon to lose all acceleration while I was in the passing lane of a 4-lane highway going 75mpg. A check engine light came on and it just bricked itself. I had to glide through 3 lanes almost causing a wreck. We were on a family vacation with our [XXX] daughter in the back seat and we had to wait over 2 hours in the blazing heat for a tow. The dealership said there is a known problem with the fuel injectors in these SUVs. I can't believe there isn't yet a recall for these fuel injectors. I'm concerned someone is going to get hurt because of this very fixable problem. Thanks for the help. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
NHTSA Complaint On Sunday, March 10th 2024 our 2022 Hyundai Tucson with 2.5L engine started missing in one of the cylinders. It did not disable the vehicle and it ran like that for several blocks until we could pullover to safety. At this time there were no warning lights of any kind. It wasn’t until I turned the car off, checked the oil (which was good), started the car again and did a lap around the parking lot that the check engine light came on. So there were no warnings. We dropped the car off at our local Hyundai service center that night so it could be checked first thing the next day. It turned out that it was a bad spark plug and injector. At that point it was no big deal. We chalked it up to a fluke. We received the car back on Thursday, March 14th with the explanation of what happened and that it was replaced under warranty. There were NO RECOMMENDATIONS made upon pick up. Exactly 2 weeks later on Thursday, March 28th, the car lost all power while traveling 60mph in the middle lane of the interstate. Again, there were no warning or diagnostic lights coming on. It was pure luck that there was minimal traffic and other drivers were paying attention as the car came to a complete stop in the middle of the highway in order to be restarted and it refused to accelerate above 20mph in order to limp to the shoulder and get to safety. Over an hour later and stopping and starting the car in a parking lot, the check engine light finally came on. The engine was running worse this time. The car had to be towed this time to the service center. After being checked out it was another spark plug and a fouled fuel injector. Researching online showed that this is a very common issue with Hyundai fuel injectors between 12,000 and 25,000 miles. There are currently no technical service bulletins or recalls warning owners of this common failure and potentially losing power traveling at high speeds. Research showed there have been 3 collisions caused by this exact issue to date.
First incident: While driving on the highway, my vehicle began to vibrate intensely, jerking, lost acceleration and ultimately was unable to drive. Smelled burning. No warning lights came on- no indication of a problem. I only had time to exit on ramp and car stopped in the middle of traffic. Car had to be towed to dealer. Second incident: I was driving and the vehicle began jerking and vibrating with no acceleration. Smelled burning again. Only after this happened did the engine light appear. I was able to get over to the side of the road. Luckily I wasn’t far from home. Car had to be towed to dealer again Very unsafe and no recall from Hyundai.
New 2022 tucson limited power train stalled, would not accelerate randomly while on the highway in NJ on [XXX]. Had to get to side of the road and put hazards on as was unable to accelerate past 40mph in a 65mph zone. Once turning off the car, the electrical systems reset. It was crazy i only had the car for 200miles. Thank God it was a leased car. Flash forward it occurred twice before hitting 1k miles. Took it to get serviced and service department had no idea and said nothing was found to be the cause after the second time it stalled. Other incident was around 20k miles gas lock latch broke somehow and couldn't open gas tank to put gas in car. Went to 3 dealerships, 2 couldn't see me without an appointment. Had to get it snapped off then come back to get car serviced which took 2 additional hrs. Unreliable. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My wife was with my Aunt and driving at 70mph on PGBT highway and instant the check engine light come on and the car started smelling of burnt equipment and stalled. The cabin was filled with white smoke and the windows jammed as well. The car was stalled in the middle of the highway with traffic zooming past and severing to save us. This car put my family is a life threatening situation and I want that to be recorded. We use this vehicle for our family trips and it haunts me to think what it can do to my wife and kids. I have started a formal complaint with Hyundai corporate and the complaint number is [XXX]. Also the car is with Hyundai Dealership at Address: 1301 N Central Expy, McKinney, TX 75070 (469) 525-4300) and I am yet to receive a diagnosis from them on what actually happened to the vehicle.

This car has 36,000 miles, purchased new and serviced on schedule. The car is at the dealer for the third time since purchase. The first was a fuel injector issue/drivetrain error. The second time was a bad spark plug. The most current issue is another fuel injector. People on the internet have reported similar problems. The dealership has directed us to come get the car, which is unacceptable, because this is an engine error. I spoke to Hyundai Customer Car and they directed me to rent a car at my own cost and to not drive the car.
•What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? High Pressure Pump Assembly.

Yes •Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? No •Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? There were no warning messages. The car didn’t seem to smoothly respond to pressing the accelerator, but the issue resolved until it didn’t.
In the last 4 months my vehicle has had 2 bad fuel injectors. In both instances my check engine light came in while I was driving down the road. The vehicle shuttered and could not accelerate. Luckily both times J was close to home and was able to turn around. This came with no warning. Both times, I had previously driven the car that day with no issues. When I went out for another trip, the vehicle then had an issue. I am concerned the fuel injectors for this vehicle/model may have a defect of some kind, as I have lost two in a very short amount of time. If this happened in a congested area or highway it could absolutely present a safety issue. The first incident occurred when the vehicle had about 59,000 miles on it.
While driving vehicle, car lost power and show down on highway. Car would not start. Eventually started and sputtered white smoke and the smell of fuel. Car would only go 2 miles and hour. Took to dealership and they said it was the fuel injector pump. No recall has been issued even though several other Hyundai and Genesis i models have recalls for same issue.
Driving on hwy 24 about 6 weeks ago car started missing badly. Engine light came on had to pull off hwy almost got rear ended. Waited for roadside assistance over 2 hours was 110 degrees outside. Called Hyandai road side assistance they said another 2 hours. We called dealer they said to just try driving it to dealer. They had car 2 weeks finally figured out had bad fuel injector car had 22000 miles. We got car back still didn't run right. Three weeks later same thing happened they had for one week different fuel injector bad. This time broke down with grandkids in car. There is service bulletin for the problem. Very unhappy care very unsafe to drive.
While driving the check engine light comes on and the car loses power and starts running very ruff and almost stalls at times. This is the second time this has happen in 3 months, last time they replaced a fuel injector. I look up the problem and it seams to be common problem with the 2022 Hyundai Tucson.
Vehicle would not accelerate leaving driveway. Was bucking as I went down the street. At end of street when I tried to turn off it stopped as I accelerated and I was almost rear ended. I pulled over there were no warning lights on at all. I pulled out as I wanted to turn around and go home and it would not accelerate again. I was able to make it home. I looked up problem on line and it seems like I am not alone. As it is Sunday going to call dealer tomorrow but not expecting them to take it in soon as most appointments take over 1 month to get. I am very scared to drive my car.
Car intermittently will loose power (shortly after commencement of driving). This will remedy itself by shutting off engine and restarting. This has happened 4 or 5 times within the fist 3,000 miles. This is a vehicle and traffic SAFETY issue that could cause lives!
This Tucson Limited has 3500 miles on it from purchase last September - 2022. Less than 1/2 mile from home and accelerating to about 35mph the engine lost power where speed reduced to about 20mph, acted like air intake was being choked. Did not see any caution lights on the dash. I coasted for 30 feet - luckily the street had no traffic - and the engine began to operate normally. I continued traveling about 2 miles and it happened again but briefly - still on town roads, continued driving and it happened once again climbing a hill. Made it part way up and power came back. Continued driving to destination another 2 miles, parked the car for about 45 minutes, came back, car started normally, drove home without incident. If this occurred on a busy road or highway I'm sure the trip would have ended in an accident. I believe this is a dangerous fault. Car is in for service now and they say the ECU was updated. Hope that corrected the problem as my wife refuses to drive it without some confidence level improvement.
-There are 3 problems. The 1st and most dangerous, is a combo of the engine, transmission, and fuel system. The 2nd is malfunctioning sensors. The 3rd is water leaking in under my glove box onto the floor mat. The car upon 3 different occasions has stopped accelerating in the middle of traffic. 1st: the car would not go past 30mph and it stuttered/ shook. I parked and turned the car off, but 5 minutes later it reset and ran "normal". The 2nd time in Dec 2022, I was on Annapolis Rd.(Maryland) at about 10pm while alone. It would not accelerate past 35mph, the check engine light came on, and the engine/transmission started shaking and stuttering. I was almost rear ended so I pulled over. The next day when I called the dealership, the car had once again reset itself. The dealer brushed me off, said the cars are so computerized that if they couldn't replicate it they couldn't fix it and said they were backed up on appointments. The 3rd time, the car stopped accelerating on the beltway as I was taking my exit home, almost got rear ended, as I was pulling off the exit and trying to pull over the car started producing white smoke and the smell of gas, the engine control system (1st time of these 3 instances) alerted to shut the car down. The gear shift would not work properly while trying to shut it off. It massively leaked gas out of the vehicle and into the oil/ oil filter. While broken down, multiple cars almost ran into it as it had shut down after a major intersection. The car almost exploded/ caught fire. It was towed to an autobody shop to be inspected as I did not trust the dealership. No repairs were made. Only an oil change and new oil filter. There was a random misfire code. But ran normally once reset. There was no damage that he inspected and called it a Lemon. The dealer has the car, and has yet to diagnose it or give me a loaner. All regular maintenance performed and all system checks have come back normal up to this point.
I have a 2022 Hyundai Tucson with about 15k miles on it. I have had it serviced twice for oil changes and the recommended manufacture recommended maintenance. However, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT loss in power upon acceleration with this vehicle. My new car drives very rough and this is a safety issue due to the fact when entering the interstate, the car will not increase speed as requested putting myself and others on the road in danger. Additionally, simple maneuvers like turning into cross traffic are of concern because the vehicle doesn't respond to acceleration when accelerating from 0mph as well as in stop and go traffic. There are no engine lights or codes that I can visibly notice but even in sport mode the acceleration of the vehicle is not responsive. This is a KNOWN issue at Hyundai as one local dealership offered me a service visit 6 months out because they are so overbooked with these issues. A quick Google search also brought up numerous owners experiencing similar and and escalated issues to include complete engine failure and vehicle overheating. This vehicle needs to be recalled immediately! I experience this loss of power EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE and I don't feel safe driving my new car anymore. I have mentioned this to my dealership and they are going to take a look at it today. Occasionally, the car will also indicate to me that I should keep my hands on the steering wheel when I typically drive with BOTH hands on the steering wheel.
Without any warning indicator my 2022 Hyundai Tucson (11850 miles on car) stalled on the road. I received an alert on my phone from Hyundai, after the car shut down that there was a system failure. Car was towed to Pugi Hyundai dealership (where I purchased in new in Jan. 2022) and after several days I was advised the following: Cause: P0303 Cylinder #3 misfire active. Hyundai technical service Bulletin 23-FL-002H-1 addressed concern. 20DA14R1 Replace 1 GDI fuel injector which includes ((1) injector assey-fuel, (3) combustion seal ring, (1) pipe-high pressure, (4 ) k-Bolt. The dealership and Hyundai Corp. state that until the vehicle breaks down they aren't able to replace the KNOWN defective parts. Therefore, I am left driving a vehicle that WITHOUT warning can stall on the road which is a MAJOR safety risk!!!! This is absolutely not acceptable. This should be a recall! The dealership stated they can replace the remailing 3 fuel injectors for $799.00 pre-tax. I asked what batch of fuel injectors are they using and the Service Manager stated the new and improved. The old batch was discarded!!!! How is this legal??????
On two occasions, both on busy highways traveling at about 65mph the engine just quit running. Very scary but fortunately was able to drift to the side of the road and wait for assistance. The car was towed to the nearest dealer two hours from my home. After the fuel injectors were replaced it was returned to us two weeks later. It only had 9,000 miles on it. This is a very dangerous problem to just stop running with no warning. We could have been hit from behind and killed.
On Friday 05.26.2023 I was driving on the highway and lost all acceleration power to the vehicle and was almost rear ended by a semi. Iwas able to pull off the road but had no power of more than 2 MPH to do so. No warning lights came on, no engine error codes. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership pending review. I have only 1,355 miles on the vehicle. I am afraid to drive this car.
While driving on the freeway, suddenly lost power while driving 60 mph and was unable to accelerate. Almost avoided an accident, while trying to merge to the shoulder of the road, while the car just puttering. While on the shoulder, the check engine light came on. Unable to drive and had to get towed.
twice when my car shifted from second to third gear i lost throttle response and the engine went to idle speed. when i shut the vehicle off and restarted it worked
The car completely stalled while in the middle of driving. I was on the interstate and was unable to go at appropriate speed, making it dangerous for other drivers. This is the second time that this has happened. The first time, the dealerships said that it was a faulty fuel injector, and replaced it. However, 2 months later, the same problem occurred again. Because I wasn't in an accident, the car was not inspected by anyone other than the dealer. I did not receive any warning lights or symptoms.
With approximately 6552 miles on the car, 7 months after I bought it new, the Vehicle sputtered and shut off. The GDI pump was replaced. It has not runnright since. It sputters, it does not respond appropriately when the accelerator is pressed, it went into limp mode and would not go more than 35 mph. It did not throw and engine code when this happened. This is a huge problem in itself. I could be out of oil and it potentially will not throw a code or warning. When the dealer had it for 45 days they drove it approximately 100 mile and could not duplicate. It is a serious danger to my life and I refuse to drive it. I had it towed and it now sits in my driveway will the lemon law case is processing
My wife was driving on the parkway north in New Jersey at approximately 65 miles an hour at about 3:45 pm. The car began to lose power, was shaking, and sputtering. Luckily, she was able to pull onto the shoulder and did not get hit by another car or truck. Once she pulled over, she let the car rest for about 10 minutes and started it up again. It hesitated, but started. Once she put it in gear, it stalled. she tried this two other times and it stalled each time. she waited for a tow truck and the care was towed to the dealer. The dealer invoice with repairs is attached.
