While driving uphill, the car lost power, beginning to spurt and stalling. Then the car was not able to accelerate while car kept spurting and stopping. It was a dangerous situation as this happened while we were driving, in the middle of the road, while going uphill. Thankfully it was at night and there were no cars behind us but if there was we would have clashed into it. Towed the vehicle to the dealership and was informed that the same year TUCSON came in the night before with similar problems. It appears that there is a pattern to this safety concern. Please take action before someone gets hurt. Car shutting off like this while driving poses safety concerns for drivers and all the people around it. Even with fix, I don't feel safe driving unless I see actions taken by Hyundai to solve this apparent issue with powertrain/engine.

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 to the vehicle. Cops were called at the scene but a formal police report was not given. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

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 before: continuous shaking/jolting, and the vehicle abruptly shut off once again... stalling in the middle of a highway. A police officer saw what happened and helped my husband relocate the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway to avoid oncoming traffic/collision. He waited with my husband as he kept trying to get the vehicle to turn on. After 30 min, he was able to get it back on. The "check engine" light was illuminated. My husband drove home while the car was still shaking/jolting. We plan to, once again, have it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership today. We were told the issue had been "resolved" from the last time this happened in July. Clearly, it was not resolved and I feel this vehicle should be recalled. These recurring problems are deeply unsettling for a vehicle that is not even two years old. Given the repeated and unresolved safety issues with this vehicle, I am concerned for the safety of myself, my family, my unborn child as I am expecting and other road users. I would like to request your immediate attention and intervention to address these problems effectively.

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.

- Woodstock, GA, USA

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.

1) Transmission: while driving car jerks. when I-??m accelerating from a stop sign or stop light the wheels kind of feel like they-??re spinning/shaking and driving over gravel when I accelerate, before it actually starts and shifts gears. Car accelerating but not moving. 2) Not safe. Almost hit other cars around and people. 3) Dealer confirmed and replacing with new transmission. 4) No warning signs

- Plano , TX, USA

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.

- Moreno Valley, CA, USA

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 Tucson Engine design and build quality is a MAJOR issue and RISK for customers. Should you be driving in a freeway, acceleration will be sluggish and can cause major accidents.

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 of the freeway not being able to accelerate but take the speed I was going to move over to the emergency side in order not to get hit by another car. I got it towed into the dealership, they said they would get back to me after a few days and once they found out what happened, they had my car for about 2 weeks. They also wanted me to pay for a fuel system flush and returned the car to me on empty gas which was full when I brought it in. The back passenger window wasn't working either and I had brought that up to their attention saying if I were to bring it back in I would need to pay for a diagnostic to get it fixed. I was upset and brought it into another dealership to get fixed and mentioned again about the car jumping and afraid that I would be left on the side of the road or the engine would turn off again. They couldn't do anything without an engine light to be turned on. I'm afraid of driving my car but why am I paying for something that the dealership cannot fix or know that whatever they did wasn't fixing the problem? I have brought in my car time and time again to get seen or fixed before the major issue happened and now electrical parts of the car are faulty with things turning off randomly.

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.

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.

- Woodbridge, VA, USA

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!

- Orchard Park, NY, USA

-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 that if they couldn't replicate it they couldn't fix it and said they were backed up on appointments. The 3rd time, the car stopped accelerating on the beltway as I was taking my exit home, almost got rear ended, as I was pulling off the exit and trying to pull over the car started producing white smoke and the smell of gas, the engine control system (1st time of these 3 instances) alerted to shut the car down. The gear shift would not work properly while trying to shut it off. It massively leaked gas out of the vehicle and into the oil/ oil filter. While broken down, multiple cars almost ran into it as it had shut down after a major intersection. The car almost exploded/ caught fire. It was towed to an autobody shop to be inspected as I did not trust the dealership. No repairs were made. Only an oil change and new oil filter. There was a random misfire code. But ran normally once reset. There was no damage that he inspected and called it a Lemon. The dealer has the car, and has yet to diagnose it or give me a loaner. All regular maintenance performed and all system checks have come back normal up to this point.

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 believe this is a dangerous fault. Car is in for service now and they say the ECU was updated. Hope that corrected the problem as my wife refuses to drive it without some confidence level improvement.
