2022 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 2022 Hyundai Tucson problems
The 2022 Hyundai Tucson has been subject to several common problems reported by its owners, as detailed on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website. Here's an overview of the issues:
- Electrical System Issues: Some drivers have reported problems with the electrical system, particularly with the infotainment system. The screen may stop working without warning, affecting the functionality of Apple CarPlay, Bluetooth, and the backup camera. Dealerships have found a short in the radio/amp and replaced both under warranty. A Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) has been issued to replace the External Amplifier and related pieces.
- Powertrain Issues: Some drivers have experienced instances where the Tucson stops accelerating and displays a "Limited to 20 MPH" message on the dashboard. This issue is categorized under the powertrain and unknown categories, as dealerships have been unable to replicate the case consistently.
- Driver Assistance Systems: Several drivers have reported issues with the driver assistance systems, such as the Emergency Braking System engaging without a vehicle in front and the forward collision avoidance systems not turning on during emergencies. These systems have been reported to work erratically, leading to accidents in some cases.
- Visibility Issues: Drivers have also reported problems with windshield wipers affecting visibility during inclement weather and windshields or windows cracking prematurely, impacting overall visibility.
- Roof Moldings: The NHTSA has issued a recall for roof moldings that can become a road hazard, increasing the crash risk.
- Headlights/Taillights: Another recall has been issued for inoperable headlights or taillights, requiring an update to the ICU, which can be done at the local dealership free of charge.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-24
- 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.
SUSPENSION PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-21
- 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.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-23
- VIN: 5NMJBCAE0NH
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-22
- VIN: KM8JB3AE4NU
- Components: LANE DEPARTURE,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: Vehicle was parked for an hour facing south. When vehicle was started, forward safety and blind spot monitoring warnings came on and many other systems tied to forward camera were disengaged. Mileage: 123k. Power steering was unresponsive and brakes felt spongy. Disconnected battery and let sit for a day. Reconnected and issue went away. A week later, was parked at hospital facing south for 4 hours. Issue came back, this time disconnecting battery did not fix issue. Dealer currently has the vehicle and they are claiming it shows rear end damage even though the car hasn’t been in an accident since I was rear ended and car was repaired. Dealer reported over 80 body codes including blind spot monitoring radar.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-14
- Crash: 1
- VIN: KM8JFCAE9NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: Vehicle has experienced, unexpected, slight and brief, acceleration 3 times at highway speeds up to 60 mph. The 4th incident was an uncontrolled acceleration when parking behind another parked vehicle. Car accelerated into the backend of parked vehicle. Operator was at a complete stop and needed to pull forward a few feet. They took foot off of brake and lightly pressed the gas peddle. The car unexpectedly surged forward hitting parked car. 1 day later we received an email from Hyundai Blue Link stating that "a possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected" and recommends bringing in for service for a full system check. Both cars were damaged and Tuscon had to be towed to a repair shop.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-15
- VIN: KM8JECA1XNU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING
- Summary: After dark, the headlights will randomly switch from auto to parking lights to headlights on or completely off. When using the selector sometimes takes a few seconds to switch from auto to off and sometimes won’t switch off. This just started three days ago. It happens while it’s parked and while driving the lights will shut off. You can use the switch to turn them on but both auto and off take a while to be selected.
POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-08
- VIN: KM8JFCAE9NU
- Components: POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES,ENGINE
- Summary: 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.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-02
- VIN: 5NMJFCAE8NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-10-03
- VIN: 5NMJECAE1NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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..
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-09-28
- VIN: 5NMJA3AE9NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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
VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-01-01
- VIN: 5NMJCCAE8NH
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: 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.
UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-19
- VIN: KM8JECA16NU
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
- Summary: A week ago, I was driving my 2022 Tucson Hybrid Limited on the highway on my way to work around 7:50 a.m. It was a bright day, good weather. I was in the center lane when my car suddenly braked HARD and came to a stop on the highway! My foot was still on the gas pedal, but the Automatic Emergency Braking light was on. I panicked because I had no control over what the car was doing. Thankfully, I was not rear-ended and didn't cause an accident. I put on my hazard lights, shifted into park on the highway's center lane, then back into drive and it seemed fine. There was not really any traffic in front of me that I remember, but there were some cars on either side and behind me that had to swerve around me. I don't trust this car anymore. It is going to get me or someone else killed. I took it to the dealer 2 days ago and the initial inspection didn't show any problems or error codes. They told me I could have it back since there didn't seem to be a problem or they could give me a loaner car and keep testing my car. I have a loaner. I hope they find something wrong with the car, otherwise, I am afraid of my car getting me or someone else killed. I am especially scared after reading about all the others here who have had this same issue.
POWER TRAIN PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-06
- VIN: 5NMJBCAE6NH
- Components: POWER TRAIN
- Summary: 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
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-23
- VIN: 5NMJC3AE6NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
SERVICE BRAKES PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-22
- VIN: 5NMJCCAE3NH
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: While driving I noticed that the navigation went out for a second and then the brakes would not work. I was about to hit the car in front of me, but the auto braking stopped the vehicle.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-13
- VIN: 5NMJC3AE8NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2023-07-18
- VIN: 5NMJFCAE6NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-06-17
- VIN: 5NMJFCAE6NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-20
- VIN: 5NMJFCAE6NH
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-06
- VIN: KM8JECA15NU
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: The check hybrid system light came on just after I tried to accelerate from a complete stop and I had no acceleration. I had the accelerator pushed to the floor and I got no response and was not able to accelerate two different times within 5 minutes of one another. I was in traffic unable to accelerate. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to find anything wrong and told me to bring it back if it happened again.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2024-09-05
- VIN: 5NMJF3AE8NH
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The Apple Car Play goes on and off at random. It works perfectly about 70% of the time, then will not work for no apparent reason. While trying to get it reconnected, the Seat Heater on the driver's side would come on. This has happened many times so I want to mention it in case it's connected. I don't think I've accidentally engaged it that many times. It poses a risk because it takes my attention away from driving and could cause me to run into the car in front of me. I'll be taking it to the dealership in 3 weeks. There were no warning lamps or messages.

I'm glad to hear that you're a fan of Hyundai, having owned three of their cars! Your experience with the 2022 Tucson Limited sounds fantastic, with its upgraded comfort and technology. It's great to hear that the safety features are more advanced and that the car has ventilated front seats and rear heated seats, which are not always offered by other brands. The digital cockpit/tachometer sounds like a really cool feature, and I love that it has cameras that show in the tachometer of your view. It's also great that the car has 'smart park', even if it's a feature that you may not use often. I understand that the small gas tank and range can be frustrating, especially on long trips, but it's good to know that you're still getting decent gas mileage. It's a shame that the car doesn't have adaptive headlights or fog lights for better cornering at night, and automatic fold-in mirrors would have been a nice touch. Overall, it sounds like the 2022 Tucson Limited is a great car and definitely worth considering for anyone in the market for a new vehicle. Thank you for sharing your experience with us!

I recently purchased two of these vehicles, one on May 13th, 2021 and the other on July 2nd, 2021. Both are SEL Convenience packages. The first one is in Amazon Grey with a beautiful 2-tone Grey and Black interior, while the second one is in Quartz White Pearl with an all-black interior. Although the black interior is nice, the 2-tone is absolutely stunning. I chose the SEL Convenience package because it had everything I wanted in a vehicle, including the appearance of the Limited, panoramic roof, and 19-inch wheels. I'm not a fan of leather and I don't need ventilated seats with cloth. The stereo is perfect without being a Bose. This model is loaded with all the right features. I've owned all of the Toyota Hybrid models, but I got rid of each one because of noise, rattles, and uncomfortable seats. However, with the break-in period, this car smooths out after about 1000 miles. I get excellent mileage by accelerating to five MPH above the limit, then letting off the pedal and waiting for the EV indicator to come on before feathering the pedal back on. I constantly watch the EV light and achieve 43 or more MPG in mixed driving. That's as good as my RAV4, and this is with a real AWD setup, not electric like the RAV4. The engine is so quiet and the acceleration is amazing. This vehicle feels effortless to drive. It's my favorite vehicle I've ever had, and I've had way over a hundred. I'm sure Hyundai will offer a spare tire kit for those who really want one, since there is already one in the gas version. I feel this is the best-looking vehicle Hyundai has put out, besides Genesis. I think they've gone upmarket with the Tuscan. With all of the warranty and free maintenance, and the dealer included a lifetime powertrain warranty for free, you just can't lose. I've now had the last vehicle for 3 months and a few days, and it has been fantastic. Consumer Reports has now listed this as the number one vehicle over Honda and RAV4 hybrids.They loved it for the same reasons I love it. Hyundai and Kia have really upped their game. I have now had this vehicle for 9 months and 9,500 miles, and it has been absolutely perfect. Consumer Reports rated it as the second-best vehicle, with the Kia Telluride coming in first with 97 points. The 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid received 93 points, which really represents the car well. I cannot find a single fault with this car. It does everything perfectly, and I am so happy that I purchased it. Even with the snow we had this winter, nothing could stop this car. While all the 4x4s were stuck on the side of the street, my car just kept going. I'm sure it has something to do with the Michelin Primacy all-season tires. The four-wheel drive system works perfectly.

The ride is really smooth and the seats are incredibly comfortable. There's also plenty of leg room in the back row, even for taller people. The trunk space is also really impressive. I highly recommend getting the convenience and premium package - it's definitely worth it. There are so many great features, like the heated/cooling seats and steering wheel, as well as the lane assist and cruise control features that work together seamlessly. It almost feels like you're driving a Tesla car that drives itself! Additionally, this car is loaded with safety features, which is always reassuring. And let's not forget about the amazing Bose sound system - it really puts the icing on the cake.

Never thought I would buy a hybrid car... but I absolutely love it!! The Tucson has plenty of space, drives smoothly, and being a hybrid means spending less money on gas :) So far, it's been great!

I really like this car! It's so much fun to drive, and it handles great. The interior is comfortable, and the storage is well optimized. The technology is also very well integrated. While I would have preferred real buttons and knobs instead of the touch screen controls, it's not that bad. The low turn signals on the back could be improved, but overall, it's a great car. I have noticed that the gas mileage is not quite as good as I had hoped, but I'm still getting between 27 and 30 mpg, which is not bad. I did notice that my mileage was a bit lower than the EPA estimates, but I'm hopeful that it will improve as the weather gets warmer. Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase!

I bought the 2022 Tucson Hybrid (limited) on April 30, 2021. At first, I noticed that the Highway mpg was around 27-31mpg, which was slightly worse than what my 2013 Tucson could get. During the winter, I started noticing that the car felt like the gears were getting stuck, and the electric motor did not turn on at all in cold weather. The real trouble started around 8,000-10,000 miles when city mpg went down to 25-27mpg. On my next oil change, I asked about the mpg not being close to the 36-38mpg sticker. The dealership tried to insinuate that I was going to the wrong gas stations and that hybrids don't get better gas mileage, but after much debate and them looking at the sticker on the same make, they resynced the computer. It started getting 34-45mpg on my city work drive again. The next tank of gas was on the interstate, where it got 27mpg with no cruise control, no steering assist, and no eco mode. The next interstate tank averaged 22-25.5mpg. Unfortunately, it's not getting 300 miles range on a tank. Another issue I have with this Tucson is that it is completely unsafe to drive outside of city lighting at night. The headlights are positioned in a way that creates a dark band in the driver's view, making it impossible to see across the highway at night. I thought maybe it was my height or seat position, but after seeing multiple reviews with all the same complaints as me, I know I'm not alone.

undefinedFinally got the car back on 12/01/22 after they installed a new accelerator pedal. Unfortunately, on Christmas Eve (12/24/22), the check engine light came on and the car started sputtering as if it wanted to shut off. It's been at the shop since then and I'm still waiting for a call back. I'll be sure to update again in 2 months!

Avoid purchasing this car at all costs. Despite having owned it for a year, it has been nothing but a headache. The car has been in for repairs four times, twice for rotor issues and twice for fuel-related problems. Although the dealer has attempted to fix the issues twice, the car still jerks upon acceleration and has a strong gas odor when starting. I strongly recommend considering other options instead of a Hyundai.

I recently purchased a car with under 5000 miles on it, but unfortunately encountered an issue with the engine control system. When I tried to schedule an appointment with the dealership where I bought the car, I was informed that they were two weeks out and had 13 cars in the shop for engine or transmission replacements. This made me panic, so I called another local dealership, who were able to schedule me in about a week. However, they were unable to provide a loaner car, which was surprising to me as my previous experiences with other car companies have always included a loaner car. It's difficult to go without a car for weeks, so I hope the service will be better than what I'm expecting. If it is, I'll update my review. While I understand that cars can have problems, it's important to me that the company takes care of their customers. As a first-time Hyundai customer, I'm disappointed with my experience so far and would not recommend this vehicle at this time. Please keep in mind that many of the 5-star reviews you may see were likely posted during the honeymoon phase.

I recently purchased a 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue and unfortunately experienced some issues with the car's acceleration after only driving it for four days. The dealership informed me that the accelerator sensor was faulty and the car was taken in for repairs. While I am disappointed that the part is not readily available due to the car being so new, the dealership is doing their best to resolve the issue. I have also reached out to Hyundai directly and am awaiting a response. Despite this setback, I remain hopeful that the issue will be resolved soon and I can enjoy my new car. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
