NHTSA Complaint #11575710 — 2019 HYUNDAI TUCSON

On [XXX] as I was driving down the highway, the check engine light came on the dashboard and the car lost acceleration. I could not go any faster than approximately 30 miles per hour. Very dangerous situation when you’re traveling in a lane of traffic that’s is doing 65/70 mph. I was able to get the car to Premier Hyundai, a dealer in Seaside, CA. At that time there was a recall for the Knock sensor. They replaced the knock sensor at that time and did some other services including an oil change and sent me on my way. They told me at the time that the code that had come up was P1326. Entering this incident now, because I realized I had missed reporting this specific incident. This VIN# has had the issues 5 times since the [XXX] incident and I feel very strongly that this is a HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. when this happens when you are driving down the freeway at 65-70 MPH and it suddenly goes into LIMP MODE. You are at the mercy of the cars that are approaching you from behind doing 70 when you're only able to do 30 mph. This is an ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. PLEASE Do SOMETHING. I see where you closed an investigation into these issues. - PLEASE REOPEN the investigation and hold the manufacturer accountable. These settlements they come up with are not worth the paper they're written on. The consumer is getting fed up and we need someone to help us.
