Hyundai Tucson problems
The Hyundai Tucson (/ˈtuːsɒn/; Korean: 현대 투싼) is a compact crossover SUV produced by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai. It is named after the city of Tucson, Arizona. It was originally known as the Hyundai JM when it was introduced in Japan in 2004.
The second-generation model was marketed as the Hyundai ix35 in several markets, including Europe, Australia and China, before reverting to Tucson for the third generation. Since its first generation, the Tucson has been developed alongside the Kia Sportage, sharing platforms and engines.
The Tucson is the best-selling Hyundai SUV model, with more than 7 million units sold globally since it launched in 2004. Of these, 1.4 million units have been sold in Europe.
The fourth-generation model marked the switch to a mid-size car platform using the N3 platform which is shared with another three corporate siblings, the Hyundai Santa Cruz, the Hyundai Mufasa and the fourth-generation Kia Sorento. As of 2022, the Tucson is positioned between the Kona or Creta and the three-row Santa Fe in Hyundai's crossover SUV lineup.

Common Hyundai Tucson problems
The Hyundai Tucson has been a popular compact SUV due to its stylish design, upscale cabin, safety features, and efficient hybrid options:
- Airbag control module defect: The second most frequently reported Hyundai Tucson problem is a defect in the airbag control module, which increases the risk of the passenger-side airbag incorrectly deploying during a collision. The defect has led to recalls for eight Tucson model years: 2005 through 2009, 2013, 2014, and 2016. The airbag control module must be replaced to address the problem, but the cost should be covered by Hyundai at an authorized dealership.
- No sound from the speakers: The third most common Hyundai Tucson problem is speakers in some SUVs with a multimedia navigation system suddenly stopping to emit sound. The problem occurs whether it's when using the radio, CD player, navigation system, or other sources. Over 50 owners of nine model years from 2009 to 2017 have reported the problem to RepairPal. Fortunately, the no-sound issue is easy to fix and typically doesn't require a service center visit. The cause of the problem is a software glitch, which can be resolved with a hard reset. To do the hard reset, disconnect the negative battery terminal in the SUV. Wait about 15 minutes and then reconnect the terminal. After that, the sound should return.
While these issues don't affect most Tucson models, they are the most frequently reported problems across all model years. Therefore, potential buyers should be aware of these common problems and perform thorough inspections during a test drive to ensure a smooth and enjoyable driving experience.
What is the most common problem with Hyundai Tucson?
One of the most frequent problems reported by Tucson owners is related to transmission shifting. Common transmission issues reported with the Hyundai Tucson include: Rough or delayed shifting: Some Tucson owners have experienced rough or delayed shifts, which can lead to an unpleasant driving experience.
Is a Hyundai Tucson a reliable car?
Hyundai Tucson is known for above-average reliability with a RepairPal score of 4.0/5, a 79/100 J.D. Power rating, and a high owner satisfaction score from the Honest John Satisfaction Index.
Which year of Hyundai Tucson is the best?
When shopping for a used Hyundai Tucson, the third generation is likely to provide the best quality. These vehicles, from the 2016-2021 model years, were seen as a big leap forward for the Tucson name. A brand new engine, design overhaul, and access to more modern technologies transformed the vehicle.
What are the disadvantages of the Hyundai Tucson?
Tucson Disadvantanges
The 2.0L normal petrol engine of the Tucson lacks the power and torque output one would expect from an SUV from this segment. Furthermore, the fluid coupling torque converter transmission further reduces its fuel efficiency, especially in bumper-to-bumper traffic driving.

Hyundai Tucson 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: KM8J33A40GU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: Left driver side window conked out, does not go up or down.
Hyundai Tucson 2023
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-11
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: KM8JFCA17PU
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: While traveling out of town, our 2023 Tuscon HEV with 31,000k started chugging/hesitating during acceleration. This chugging continued to worsen, so we took it to a Hyundai dealership to diagnose. We were told that fuel injector #3 was misfiring, and, as they did not have the parts in stock, that it would be safe to make the 5 hour drive back home to service the vehicle. During the first 4 hours of the drive the chugging/hesitating worsened, several times suddenly losing power and speed dropping from 70 or so mpg, to 40 mpg and lower, creating extremely harrowing and dangerous conditions from the higher speed drivers behind and around us on the highway. During the last hour of the drive, the vehicle started making a screeching sound, and emitting a burning smell, and chugging so convulsively that we made an emergency detour to drop it at the closest Hyundai dealership. The second dealership said that they could not use the 1st dealerships diagnosis, and that they would need to do their own assessment. Almost 2 weeks later, we were informed that the vehicle was fixed and that issue was a cracked tensioner belt and that likely is what set off the other code(s), including the fuel injector code. Upon picking up the vehicle we discovered that the same chugging issue was still occurring and returned it to dealership #2. They ran another diagnostic and determined that fuel injector #3 needed to be replaced-the issue that dealership #1 originally diagnosed. We were also told that, the problem is with the outsourced company that makes the fuel injectors, and that this is a recurring issue with the other injectors. Unfortunately, Hyundai has yet to take responsibility and save its customers a lot of inconvenience and safety concerns, by allowing dealerships to go ahead and replace all of the fuel injectors at once when the 1st one goes bad.
Hyundai Tucson 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-24
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: 5NMJECAE5NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
Hyundai Tucson 2015
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-16
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-26
- VIN: KM8JU3AG3FU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: --->While I was driving my hyundai tucson engine seized (-engine model (lm) 2.4l theta ii--> 63,664 miles). Yes, the vehicle is available for inspection. ---> As I said before I was driving in a express way when the incident happened. My car just stopped working out of a sudden and I had to take the side road by applying a much force effort from myself not to get hit by several vehicles behind. When I finally managed to step aside, I sensed some sort of smoke smell. And also all warning lights from car dashboard came up with no prior lamp alerts before this incident. ---> I took the vehicle to the nearest repair shop called Sam's certified auto repair. And there it was diagnosed that the vehicle engine was seized. So i inmediately called the dealer and the asked me to tow my SUV. There they diagnosed the vehicle with a seized engine too. From there on I found out that these vehicle i bought have a recall and that the this engine model has a major malfunctioning manufacture issues. Then I tried to get an authorization approval for a new engine but it was denied because they stated that I have a savage title.
Hyundai Tucson 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-21
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-25
- VIN: 5NMJECAE3NH
- Components: SUSPENSION
- Summary: Trailing arm bushings on both sides appear to generate considerable noise indicating wear (has been since delivery but getting much worse over this year). Dealer's solution was to simply lubricate them. The owner manual says nothing of this, and I think this is a simple "go away" band-aid solution. Attempted to reach Hyundai corporate, who asked me to confirm with the dealer if that is proper. That seems like a question for engineering, not the dealer who applied the band-aid fix. It is apparent that the bushings they affixed to the vehicle are defective and could possibly cause larger issues down the line -- far enough down the road when Hyundai can claim they are a wear item and need to be replaced.

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.

Hyundai Tucson 2016
- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-01
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-24
- VIN: KM8J3CA47GU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: There two incidents where I was driving in the highway and my car died mid driving. It put my life on risk twice. Took it to the mechanic and was told that my car was leaking oil and caused my car to have an engine misfire. My car is un drivable. There were no engine or oil lights that appeared prior to the incident and I always got my regular oil changes and had put in more oil myself. Hyundai refused to pay to the engine replacement even through this is a known issue. I’ve only had the car for two years and it’s under 100k miles.
Hyundai Tucson 2024
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-12
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-23
- VIN: 5NMJB3DEXRH
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: While driving in light traffic, speed at 45 mph, my Tucson alerted me with a beep, steering wheel vibrated and a red alert on the dash was present for about 3 seconds then the speed automatically slows down to 15 mph all on its own while my foot is still on the accelerator. This has occurred at a minimum 6 times. I purchased this vehicle brand new and driving it off the lot it had 22 miles on it. I've taken it to a Hyundai dealership, and they can't figure out what it wrong with it. I feel very unsafe and unhappy now of this major safety concern. This has high probability of getting rear ended. I see that this has been occurring with various years of Hyundai and am wondering why there has not been a recall on this issue. I owned a Hyundai prior to this 2024 (Tucson 2011) and it was wonderful. This is highly concerning for me, and I am not confidant driving this vehicle and will more than likely trade it in for another vehicle. Can someone please research this issue with the automatic emergency brake system. This can autonomously go off whether you are in traffic, highway, street or completely zero vehicles or pedestrians around.

Hyundai Tucson 2024
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-20
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-20
- VIN: 5NMJE3DE9RH
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Two incidents while driving on the highway. 1. Emergency braking activated on its own. No cars around me. It was a rural area. The red emergency braking activated light showed up and my car braked but resumed driving. This is a new car with less than 4k miles on it. 2. The hands free assist and cruise control were activated. My care swerved to the right abruptly. My hands were on the wheel and I was able to correct this but this is very concerning as my daughter drives this car on mountain roads when she is going to college. I have read online reports when others driving the same make, model and year vehicle.
Hyundai Tucson 2014
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-17
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-20
- VIN: KM8JT3AF4EU
- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: On August 17th 2024 my 2014 Hyundai Tucson wouldn't start. I had my vehicle towed to the dealership so that they can figure out why my vehicle wasn't working. I just leased the vehicle in March 2024. The dealership told me there was an engine recall on my vehicle and they didn't handle engine work and it needed to be towed to an Hyundai dealership. I contacted the Hyundai dealership and they told me there was an engine recall on my vehicle and that it would be serviced on October 17th 2024 at 11 am and hopefully done by 6 pm that day. I was and still am blown away that I have to be without my vehicle for 2 months. Fast forward to October 17th 2024 I'm excited about finally getting my vehicle back as this recall has caused me so much stress and a Major Inconvenience on my life. I contact Hyundai and am told the appointment is for a vehicle diagnostic and they don't have the engine it has to be ordered and then make an appointment to install. I also was told there were 2 other recalls on the vehicle that would be covered under the warranty or recall but the engine would not be covered under the warranty or recall because my name is listed under the dealership name on the title so my vehicle is currently still sitting at Hyundai with no answers from either party about me getting my vehicle fixed and back on the road

I called a tow company and had to wait more than an hour in the heat with my [XXX] for them to reach me. I called the closest dealer which was aslo an hour away and made sure they were aware the vehicle was coming. A family member drove two hours to get us. A service tech texted me that night and told me the car was awaiting a tech. First thing Monday I received another text that a new engine replacement had been approved. It actually took several phone calls and trying to reach anyone to actually find out that the car had code p1326 and had failed the rod bearing test. And I read more about the gdi theta II settlement and reached out to customer care and opened a ticket to be reimbursed for towing. The vehicle had a previous recall completed for the knock sensor. No rental cars were available to me AT ALL. I received a remanufactured short block all said and done in 10 days. My family was left with no car for that time. There were no warning signs on my car-no excessive oil consumption, no other lights or noises. terrified it will occur with the replacement.

I purchased my Tucson four months ago and it has been everything I wanted in a car. It's a mainly city SUV that can also handle my ski equipment in snowy Canadian winters and camping gear in muddy summers. The Tucson is a reliable, spacious, and comfortable car that has almost everything I need. It comes with 4WD, V6, stability control, shiftronic, front/side/roof airbags, leather seats, moon roof, mp3 player, roof racks, fog lights, alloy wheels, and much more. For a compact SUV, it's hard to ask for more. The build quality of the Tucson is exceptional and can compete with many other cars from more recognized brands. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I've owned my GLS for a little over 2 months now and so far it's been good, except for the gas mileage. Despite moderate driving, I have yet to reach even 19 mpg, which is below the rated 19-24 mpg. Even on the highway, I only get 18 mpg, which bothers me. Other than the mpg, it's been a fun car to drive.

I took it for a test drive along with its sister, the Kia Sportage. In my opinion, Hyundai may have made a mistake when they switched to the 7-speed transmission. I hope Kia won't make the same mistake with their next year's model.

I recently took my 2001 Hyundai Elantra to the dealership for an oil change and tune-up. However, I ended up leaving with a 2005 Hyundai Tucson, which I absolutely adore. I love everything about this car, from its sleek look to its stylish interior. Unfortunately, just one week after purchasing it, my best friend's husband accidentally backed into the front bumper, causing around $1200 worth of cosmetic damage. Thankfully, the engine was not affected, but the bumper was severely damaged. It was quite challenging to find the necessary parts for this new car, and it took two weeks to get the front bumper replaced. So, let's all be careful and avoid any accidents with our beloved cars!
Are you having problems with your Hyundai Tucson?

Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with my Tucson cars. I've had two so far and unfortunately, I've had some trouble with the engine losing power periodically on acceleration. I reported the issue to my dealership and Hyundai USA, but it was difficult to diagnose because it couldn't be reproduced while at the service department. I'm now experiencing the same issue with my 2020 model, even though I was assured that the issue had been corrected. It's even more frequent now. Interestingly, a family member of mine is also experiencing the same issue with their 2021 Sonata. Have you experienced anything similar? Thanks for your time!

The crossover I owned in 2017 was not up to my expectations. Despite being a Tuscan plus AWD with a 2.0L engine and 7-speed transmission, I experienced issues with acceleration and had to trade it in within the same year. It was not a satisfactory purchase for me.

Although there are some areas for improvement, the car may not be the best fit for families with children. The windshield may require extra care to avoid scratches and chips, and the interior seats and plastic may also be prone to staining and scratching. Additionally, the tires may not meet everyone's expectations. The car's design may not be the most spacious, especially for families with children and car seats. However, it is important to note that the car may still be a good option for those who prioritize other features. Thank you for considering this information.

My wife and I purchased a 2012 Hyundai Tucson from San Francisco Hyundai on December 28th. Unfortunately, less than three months later, we experienced an issue with the engine due to a faulty gasket that caused coolant to leak into the engine. While we were understandably concerned, the service department was knowledgeable about the problem and its solution. However, they were instructed by Hyundai Motors Company to wait until the gasket could be tested. Although we appreciate Hyundai's thoroughness in identifying the issue, we were disappointed that our car had to spend so much time in the shop. It would have been a nice gesture if they had filled up our tank after the repairs were completed.

This car is extremely unsafe to drive and has had multiple issues, including cutting off while driving in traffic and various warning lights flashing. Despite being taken to two dealerships, the car has not been fixed and has been in the shop for over a month. The technicians have attempted to fix the car by changing the water pump, flushing the coolant, and changing the 12v battery, but have been unable to identify the root cause of the problem. The car has only 15,000 miles on it and has been serviced regularly, yet it continues to experience issues. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend purchasing this hybrid vehicle.
