On three separate occasions the vehicle refused to accelerate after being in a stop and go mode (I.e. traffic/drive thru). All three times an alert popped up on the dashboard stating: HEV Check Hybrid System Stop Safely. The second time this occurred a diagnostic code came up: DTCP112000. In all three occasions turning the car off and restarting resolved the issue at least temporarily. Also- the battery was completely depleted after each incident. Vehicle is at the dealership service center for the second time without and current diagnosis or solution.

The car has been erratic in its performance since purchase. The car has a continuous issue with the suspension, electronic system, and brakes. I have reached out to Hyundai manufacturer on numerous occasion regarding the car and no one is addressing my concerns. The car drives so erratic and unpredictable that I am fearful that someone will be injured or worst. Attached is a photo of the entire system going offline, which occurs all the time, and because the whole care is computerized this poses a safety risk for me and others on the road. When the car goes offline, I no longer have control of the vehicle and all mechanical systems are down. Please help me to get this issue resolved before someone gets hurt. This is the second submission in regard to this car. 5nmjfcae4nh015882

No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500.

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 unresolved (center console), no response from them after they supposedly ordered the replacement part. The emergency brake issue just started. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others" NO Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear" Yes, the rear camera would show previous images on the camera or green screen with lines. When the emergency brake comes on without being initiated by me, other lights come on as well. Now (10/24/22) the engine light is on!

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 before we proceed. This is a very serious matter on which Hyundai is fully aware & infant they directed me to this process. My life was at risk as I was told to keep a car that is unreliable with a donut tire without repair. I felt as if I could've die if something was to happen to me within a week until service still count fix the tires as I was placed in jeopardy of my life & kids during Labor Day weekend.. Driving an unsafe vehicle. I was in concern since day 1!

purchased new 2022 hyundai tucson plug in hybrid in december 2021. In April 2022 the vehicle with 5500 miles experienced loud transmission bangs and lost ability to change gears. vehicle then stuck in neutral in driveway unable to select drive or reverse. had vehicle towed to dealership. once at dealer, mechanic unable to replicate problem but was able to pull up trouble code history. mechanic was told by hyundai corporate technicians to reset the transmission to fix problem. Fast forward to July 21, 2022, vehicle started to flash several warning indicators on dash including forward collision assist, no left turn signal and check engine light and transmission once again stuck in gear unable to select drive or reverse( approx. 9000miles) Upon disconnect of vehicle battery was able to get vehicle into gear to remove from garage. All warning lights remained on vehicle for 4 weeks before I was able to get a service appointment to fix problem. at dealer on august 16, 2022, check engine light reset prior to arrival, once again dealer unable to replicate problem and was told to return if vehicle exhibited issue again. August 22, 2022, upon leaving driveway and while in drive the vehicle just stopped in middle of roadway. once again stuck in neutral and all warning lights once again lit up. vehicle pushed to side of road to get out of roadway. upon starting the vehicle several times and turning off vehicle, finally was able to switch into gear. Roadside assistance was called to tow vehicle to dealership, where once again no loaner cars were available. The vehicle has exhibited lack of power on several occasions as well. specifically when going up a graded road. on one occasion vehicle would not go over 10mph. The fact that the vehicle died in the middle of the road while under operation is a huge safety concern as if i were on a freeway or expressway and it just stopped it could have been catastrophic. please look into this issue before someone gets seriously hurt.

After putting that car won-??t start and they called again to Hundai engineers and they told them to put harness outside. I am waiting for the other part. This new car should not have this problem.

I have a 2022 Hyundai Blue Tucson Hybrid which I bought last year late July, early August, 2021. I have encountered a safety issue that occurred three times in a course of one month in April, 2022. When I am driving, I will get a message, "Check Hybrid System, Stop the car safely, " in the middle of the freeway. The car will lose power prior to getting the message and trying to merge to the right on a freeway when everyone is driving fast is quiet the safety challenge. Once I pull over on the side of the freeway for few minutes, I can start the car again and keep going as if nothing happened. Each time it happened, it was unpredictable. My biggest discontentment, fear, and worry is when I took the car to the dealership (Tuttle Click in Irvine, California), they kept it there for almost a week and said that there is nothing they can do about it since they took it on a test drive and there was no problem. I even showed them the picture that I took of the error message but to no avail. They recommended calling Hyundai corporation and open a case, which I did but nothing has been done with Hyundai for now one month. They did ask me (Hyundai) what is that I seek because of this problem, and I told them either a buy back, or a replacement. They continue to drag me on and I do NOT feel safe driving my car. Here is my case number with Hyundai: [XXX] Thank you for your time, concern, and consideration in this urgent matter. It is greatly appreciated and I hope to hear from you soon so that I may get this urgent issue resolved. Sincerely, [XXX] Orange County, California [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The backup alarm sound is unreasonably loud. I understand that it's a Hybrid Vehicle and can be quiet but very few ICE vehicle are as loud as the backup sound on my vehicle. One impact of the loud sound is that I find myself rushing to backup just to be able to get my vehicle out of reverse so that alarm can shut off. This is especially true when I'm in trying to avoid noise. This can be backing into my own driveway if I come home late at night so not to wake the family or neighbors. Neighbors have also complained that the sound is as if a semi truck is backing up. This requirement is insane and makes an EV significantly louder than a regular vehicle which makes more of a regular sound and isn't as annoying as a beeping sound. The loud sound is a safety concern because what I'm doing (rushing in reverse) to avoid the vehicle from making the noise is not a safe practice.
