2022 HYUNDAI TUCSON Engine Problems

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...

System Failed: Shut off in traffic. Vehicle can be inspected upon request. Safety risk: Potential for collision. Input from Dealership: Dealerships error code/diagnostic code was P213800. Reset system and recharge battery. Warning lights came on at the same time as the car shut down. One month prior check engine light came on, but car was operating normally. Dealership ran diagnostic test which did not indicate any issues. The suggestion was to tighten the gas cap.

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.

For the second time vehicle has lost power and slowly began slowing down. This time it was on the interstate which almost caused a collision with a semi. It is due to faulty fuel injectors which is a known issue with hyundai.

I am writing to express my deep concerns regarding a series of ongoing safety issues with our HYUNDAI TUCSON 2022 (leased in 2022). We have encountered alarming problems that are affecting the safety and reliability of the vehicle. On July 29, 2023, my husband was driving the vehicle up a sharp incline when the car started shaking/jolting and abruptly shut off. This resulted in a highly dangerous situation as the car began to roll back. He was unable to restart the vehicle, and it had to be towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership. It took over a week for the dealership to address and rectify the issue...so we thought (see below). Also, please note that there was smoke coming out from the exhaust when the tow truck came. It looked like smoke from a flame inside. Fast forward to November 8, 2023, the vehicle was experiencing the same issue as...

Car lost ability to accelerate and was shuddering for the second time. My personal code reader pulls up codes P0191 and P0303. Engine misfire. Second time since June28,2023. Bought the Hyundai Tucson brand new in December of 2021. First time car lost acceleration and was shuddering on the interstate with my toddler son and pregnant wife stranded. The second time was tonight, October 30th, 2023. I was in the car with my still pregnant wife and toddler son.

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.

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.

July.2023: Check Engine Light On ; It came as we were driving on the highway. Acceleration was sluggish due to this issue. Error code indicated that 1 of the 4 engine had issues. Escalated the issue to Hyundai Customer Service. Issue was resolved during first week of Aug.2023. Sept.2023 We were driving on the highway and Check Engine Light came once again. It was late at night. The acceleration was sluggish and managed to drive to a nearby hotel. Contacted Hyundai Customer Service. 2 out of 4 cylinder had issues (replace rotor, wiring etc.,). Dropped the car in a Hyundai dealership (Urbana, IL). Rented a rental car to drive back to MI. Given the recurring cylinder issue, Hyundai Customer Service is NOT willing to accept the issue with Engine. 2 out of 4 cylinders had issue. Remaining 2 cylinders may have similar issue. Given the issue, quality of 2022 Hyundai...

When I’m at a dead stop, and start to drive off, there is a jerking at around 13 miles per hour. I believe it is when it is shifting from first into second gear. It happens often, but not all the time. This happened when I first bought my car, and I was told that the car has to get to know me. I thought this was true, because it seemed to have stopped at some point for a while. Now it is doing it again, but more dramatically. The jerking is very obvious. Also there have been about 5 times when the car revs by itself when I am in the 40’s. I am not pressing heaving on the gas, I am just driving, and it sounds like it slipped out of gear for a second and the car is revving, and then it just goes back to normal.

Since I received my car, within a few couple of months I have noticed that the car would jump forward when changing the RPMs/gears. When I had brought it in for an oil change, I had mentioned it to the service tech and they told me they would run a diagnostic to see if anything would pop up but the likelihood hood it wouldn't show anything. The second time I mentioned it again while I was driving, the car would accelerate faster than normal as though it was on Sports Mode even though it wasn't, and then the car/engine would jump or make the car lunge forward as it was slowing down. They said they would look into it again but nothing was found. a few months later I was driving home on the freeway when my car jumped again, the engine turned off and I was in the middle...

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.

Engine light is on at 6,000 miles,they fixed but on again a month after repair.

The affected part is the engine and/or power train, the engine light constantly stays on. The acceleration decreases and unable to drive over 40 mph. These parts were inspected by two different car mechanics at Hyundai Car dealerships, Alexandria, VA (April May 2023) and Waldorf, MD, (June -July 2023) which they say was the gas cap. After getting a diagnostic the reading was P0 301. On August 22,2023 at 9:30am took the car to mechanical service at Hyundai In Waldorf, MD they concluded it was the gas cap, again, today the engine is on again.

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!

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. Additionally, an unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 12,000.

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...

-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...

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...

Check Engine Light comes on randomly.

My vehicle wouldn't start.3 warning indicator lights came on. I had just driven my car 4 hours ago and was going to delivery a cake. My car was parked in my garage. I pushed starter but vehicle wouldn't start. Had to push starter several times before indicator lights would shout off. Had to have vehicle towed to dealership on 7/9/23

My pregnant wife’s 2022 Hyundai Tucson lost engine power while on the interstate with our 16 month toddler in the car. Luckily she was able to get off the interstate and into a safe parking lot. The car only has 23000 miles and has been kept up with Hyundai’s scheduled maintenance from their dealership. The engine is knocking and experiencing rough idle. Once I arrived I was able to read that there was an engine cylinder 2 misfire. About an hour later the “MyHyundai” app sent the same error codes. It took the tow truck driver 15 minutes to go 10 feet to the flat bed as the car would turn its self off. Incredibly dangerous for a car less than two years old. I hate that I might’ve gotten my wife and son such a dangerous vehicle.

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.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while entering the highway and depressing the accelerator pedal to the floor, the vehicle failed to accelerate over 50 MPH. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the steering wheel and vehicle was shaking abnormally. The contact continued driving to her destination. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer the following day, where it was diagnosed with needing fuel injector #4 to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and continued to experience the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer the following day, where it was diagnosed with needing the remaining fuel injectors to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

2022 2.5L HTRAC Tucson (Current Mileage: 27,088) This issue became notably clear roughly around the 12,000-to-15,000-mile mark on the vehicle. It's also worth mentioning that since month one of ownership, the vehicle has displayed some unnatural characteristics. Under hard throttle the engine created a tone that was very much discomforting and not confidence inspiring. It was abundantly clear the engine struggles to move this heavy AWD vehicle. The vehicle is so aggressive when it comes to shifting up to the next gear, I find myself doing 38-40 mph and the vehicle would be in 8th gear. When I would try to accelerate naturally the vehicle growls and vibrates and makes crunchy sounds as it struggles to accelerate against 8th gear. It's gotten so loud it can be heard over the AC and low volume radio. It's across the board as well, this issue occurs at highway speeds down to neighborhood...

I was driving on the highway with my ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) and Lane Keeping Assistance on. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise from the engine. My vehicle was slowing down and was not able to accelerate. As I was pulling my vehicle on the side of the road, I saw oil warning light and check engine light on at the dashboard.

On Tues Feb 7, 2023, I was traveling at approx 6:50 pm on a suburban street at the posted 35 mph limit. My car started to lose speed, slowing to 27, then about 22-24 mph. I felt as though the engine was misfiring for an unknown reason. Since I was approaching an intersection and needed to make a left-hand turn, I started to depress the brake pedal. With no oncoming traffic, I slowed not quite to a stop, made the turn, but then had extreme difficulty getting the car to accelerate, again with the engine sputtering, chugging like a misfire, and shaking. My vehicle did not seem to go beyond 15 mph, and slowed again as I turned into my destination, about 2-3 blocks from the intersection. I parked and locked the car and was in a store for approximately 10 minutes. When returning to my vehicle, it would not...

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle was intermittently decelerating and was unable to accelerate to exceed 42 MPH, despite depressing the accelerator pedal. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact made a local dealer aware of the failure; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 4,000.

Initial incident happened in June 2022; car under 5k miles. When slowing down at a light, car suddenly started to shake and engine would shut off. Dashboard warning indicated place in neutral and start car again. After restart, car would still turn off, unable to move or shift gears without shutting down. After keeping engine off for a few minutes, car was driveable again but a sound coming from engine when in D while at a light. Brought to dealership in Woodbridge, VA but was told they were unable to replicate incident. 2nd incident occurred in October 29, 2022. At a light, car was going to auto shut off while at light but then lurched, shook violently and engine shut off. The dashboard said place in neutral and turn engine on. Was able to move car after a few attempts and move to safe area. Let car rest for a...

I bought this car less than 30 days ago, and it has 1,500 miles. I tried to start my car in the morning and when I put it in reverse, it just rolled forward. I braked and put it back in park and the engine shut off. I tried this a few more times before I gave up. A tow came and first suggested it was the alternator, before another tow came and suggested it was a sensor. It has been at the dealer for 48 hours without a diagnosis, “maybe the injectors.” I am fortunate this happened in a parking lot and not while I was on the road. I am now terrified to drive this car.

I was leaving a drive-through. Crossing traffic when my 2022 Tuscan N-Line just stopped accelerating the engine started to shake and SUV became unresponsive. As I was crossing traffic. I was almost hit. Moved the SUV to the middle of the street. Turned the SUV off. Restarted it. The SUV had no power and the check engine light came on. The engine started shaking violently. A bad burning smell ( like) burning rubber/ plastic started, then the engine started to smoke. I turned the SUV off again. After that the SUV wouldn’t start. Had it towed to the dealer. It only has 1130 miles on it. I just bought it July 20th.

I was driving when the car stopped accelerating. Then I smelled something burning. I was able to pull over and saw smoke coming from my tailpipe. After that, the engine light came on. A warning came up on the display that said, multiple possible conditions have occurred with your vehicle.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Since February of this year, a few weeks after I purchased this car the center console has to be replaced...it is on order to be replaced since April due to rear camera malfunction (Hyundai of Bowie, submitted BBB complaint). A few weeks ago the emergency brake initiates randomly. And yesterday the Engine light is on. Yes available upon request How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I'm unable to see cars or people when in reverse. While taking off from a parked position, the emergency brake comes on and can cause me to crash or stop suddenly forcing someone to crash into the back of me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, took the truck for repair back in April, still...

1. What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The engine will not start despite having the key fob with live battery on my person. 2. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I was stranded 3 times in a week in dark public parking lots with limited cell reception. I had to abandon the vehicle to get to a warm, safe location, and as a single woman, did not feel comfortable staying with the car while other cars were loitering at night. 3. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? The car has been with the dealer for 6 days now and they have not been able to replicate the issue and it has happened to me 3 times in one week. 4. Has the vehicle or component been inspected...

I purchased the vehicle 3/31/2022, & it left with recalls. I brought it BacK with 48hr, as the check engine light turn on, also the tires, dashboard, and overall the screen. Its been left at the dealer and no results. Also it has affected my life as a disabled handicap person as I'm unable to get to and from doctor appointment etc including to transport my scooter or wheel chair. its a nightmare. I came to purchase a car and was given a "lemon". with only 12miles purchased. I was directed by finance department to proceed with this matter for a resolution as we resolve this matter. The vehicle has been a problematic problem from the start. Definitely not standing firm on the customer Hyundai core value & warranty. The car is at the dealer and I'm temporally with a loaner on which I need to know all my option...

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.

3rd time Engine Control System code has appeared with complete engine loss the 3rd time. Dealership reset the other times I had called AAA to have it towed to dealership. Car was undrive able. Shaking with no RPM. Dealer ship won’t look at it till the 24th of August 2022

The engine will suddenly turn off several times while driving There has not been a turn-off at high speeds yet and the engine is turned off while driving at a low speed of approximately 20 to 40 miles.

When the car is warm, after driving. While the car is turned off and parked, for a time frame of 10 minutes or more re-entering the vehicle and pressing the push to start creates a false start. The vehicle turns over and the dash activates but the motor stalls. While the motor is stalled, it still displays that the engine is running.

When turning left or accelerating from 20 mph there is a really bad hesitation. The car has a hard time accelerating. It didn’t have this problem when we bought it. This poses a safety issue because you really have to give your self a lot of space or you will get hit for not accelerating. Every other time the car is quick and responsive.

I have owned the car for 5 months. But have had the ability to drive it for four and a half of them. This vehicle has put me and my family at serious risk multiple time. The first incident my car would not accelerate when I drove onto the highway and it would constantly stutter when I would attempt to accelerate again causing a truck to almost rear end us. The following day my vehicle had a hot engine temp. I pulled over on the highway to an empty antifreeze tank. Refilled it multiple times to only have it empty out and completely shut off while we were driving! Took it to the dealership where it took them 2 weeks to return it. When I asked what the problem was they said they don't know they just replaced it. 3 weeks later ( 5/28/22) while driving back from an event...

I was in a turning lane & a driver swerved in front of me. My car is equipped with auto start stop and it was on. I slammed on my brakes and the engine turned off. When I tried to start restart the car there was a fluttering/grinding noise. Turned off the key and restarted the car. Dangerous in the intersection with a stalled car. At the dealer now but not optimistic. Annoying to have to turn off feature each time.

The car will accelerate, but not beyond a speed of 20 - 30 MPH. The issue is intermittent, one happens in January 2022 and another one happens in Feb 2022. The issue happens after parking overnight, and the issue will go away after restarting the car. No-fault light shows up. The problem has not been reproduced by a dealer since it is intermittent. The issue is reported to the manufacturer, but no actions from the manufacturer have been taken. The issue does pose a safety risk to me and other road traffics since the problem may happen anytime on driving.

At highway speed engine began stumbling and shaking car and stalled the car within 5 seconds bring car to halt. Engine would not restart properly, would not settle at idle rpm with rapidly inconsistent rpm shaking the car and then stall within 5 seconds. Any attempt to place car in drive immediately stalls car. After attempting 50-60 bump starts to get car off road the check engine light and error message about engine control system error eventually showed. Hyundai towing refused to take inoperable car to dealership for warranty repair of 1000mi car, instead left it at our apt parking lot. The engine failure left the driver and other motorists in danger as unable to move stranded car off 50mph busy main road on cold dark snowy evening. Dealer reports they are “swamped” with repairs and cannot see an inoperable car for at least 2-3 weeks and no loaners or...

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 mph, she collided with an Elk. The engine caught fire and the vehicle was engulfed in the flames. The driver was able to exit the vehicle safely. The contact stated that prior to the crash, the check engine warning indicator light was illuminated. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no reported injuries. A police report was filed. The fire department extinguished the fire. The vehicle was towed to an independent lot. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 1,000.

Before even reaching 3,000 miles, the engine in this brand new vehicle overheated in very normal driving conditions (under 80 mph on straight, flat interstate in 60-70 degree sunny weather). The dealership technician determined that the engine overheated and the water pump was severely damaged due to the compressor bolts not being tightened correctly during the manufacturing process at the factory.

Dear all, I bought the 2022 Hyundai Tusan SUV on June 16th, 2021. Since then, the car engine has been turn off more than 20 times, causing problems that require restarting. When I stop at the traffic light while driving and start, the car will turn off and I have to take off my car key and wait in 30 seconds and turn on the car again. Nowadays, The brakes were not applied because the engine was turned off while driving. At that time, my driving speed was around 15mph because I exited from a HWY. I think the engine issue is occurred when the engine rpm is low. I took a video of the engine turn off issue. Thank you,
