My vehicle that I finance is a 2022 Hybrid Tucson it failed at 14,596 miles I had it since November 2021 so for a good 9 months until it decided to finally malfunction. As I been driving it previously for the past month I-€™ve been hearing the transmission struggle a lot more everyday that I use it. I also noticed that the engine really lacks power, when I accelerate it takes a really long time for the gears to shift which has been getting worse for the past month now. Which is what I believe led up to my vehicle losing complete engine power while I was driving 30mph. I saw on my digital cluster a message saying -€œCheck Hybrid System, Stop the car safely.-€ In an orange triangle, I had cars backed up close to me and I was confused as to why this was happening to my not even a year old vehicle. This is a major safety issue to me that while I-€™m driving anywhere my engine will go completely off and I am only to rely on 20mph on EV Mode. If I was on the freeway I could-€™ve gotten into an accident and with my whole family in the car. I personally feel unsafe driving, it-€™s my daily driver and my only way to get to work.

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.

While on the highway my car (2022 Tucson Hybrid) lost almost all power while I was driving. I was approaching traffic and started to slow down. The battery light illuminated red and the car was jerking backing forth cutting power and juddering while I was slowing down. Being that I was still in the flow of traffic and my car wasn-€™t fully dead yet I tried to move out of the road but due to traffic on my right I had to make a left turn. I was still able to get up to about 15 mph, but as I was turning to get off the road all power was essentially cut allowing me to only proceed at about 2 mph. Luckily oncoming traffic was far enough away to slow down. I was practically driving like a grandma blocking two lanes of traffic. I managed to limp my car off the road and at this point a -€œCheck Hybrid System-€ message was shown. My car was towed and after talking with the dealership it seems the transmission went out. My car is still currently at the dealership waiting to be repaired.

I purchased a 2022 Tucson Hybrid on Friday 5/27. I purchased the insurance package as well as the Tommy Car protection. On Wednesday 6/1 it got stuck in neutral, thankfully in my driveway. I tried to put it in reverse, but it instead went into neutral. I couldn't get the emergency brake to engage at first and my car was rolling down my driveway, which leads to a lake. I can't even imagine what could have happened to myself or my four year old daughter who was in her car seat. I honestly didn't even trust the emergency brake. I am scared to ever get in that car again. I called Country Hyundai right away and they said I will have to get it towed through roadside assistance. I asked what am I supposed to drive? The service manager said he couldn't help me with that.The tow truck driver attempted to get my car to go into park and other gears but couldn't. My car was then towed to the closest dealer. My car didn't even go to Country Hyundai. It went to Balise. Balise Hyundai let my car sit in their lot for 2 days and the battery died. They attempted to do diagnostics after recharging my battery and said they can find no issues or warnings and the car is working again. Spoke to Hyundai corporate a case manager got back to me today 6/7 and said they can't find anything wrong so I can drive the death trap until it does it again. Then have it towed in and if it's under warranty they will attempt to repair it. I am beyond frustrated with this. I have never experienced something like this.

It appears the oil pan is leaking. Upon researching online, other 22 Tucsons with the 1.6L Turbo also have this issue. Unsure if they have reported the issue. I am losing about 10-20 drops/day and unable to get into a dealership until a month later due to no availability at any of my 10 local dealerships. I first began noticing the drops about late March/early April. I took delivery in September 2021 and at the time it started it was right after the first oil change...maybe 6000 miles? I smell oil in the car after getting off of the highway from driving 15 minutes. The smell lingers until car is stopped. There are no warning lamps on the dash and via the vehicles telematic/infomatics the oil level is still at 100%, however I have evidence of leakage as I have put oil soak pads under my car and every day there are drips. I'm hoping the car can hold out until I get to a dealership in mid June and not burst into flames. I called the dealership that had the soonest availability and mentioned I have a leaking oil pan and the advisor still said no available time slots. Didn't offer that I could bring the car in on an emergency basis. As depicted in the photos, I am unable to remove the undercover, but there is no damage that I ran over anything. The engine bay is free from any oil on top.

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.
