FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

I had just started accelerating from a stop light at 715 am on a clear morning. I was not close to any other cars and there was no traffic entering. Without warning my collision warning came on and brought the car to a sudden stop. This is damgerous and I am lucky I was not rear ended

POWER TRAIN,ENGINE,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

In April 2026 (29,805 miles) I was on an interstate underpass U-turn and when I went to accelerate from the U-turn, the vehicle “revved”, had difficulty accelerating, and appeared to not go into the next gear for a roughly 10 seconds, meaning I was unable to accelerate and get out of the way from oncoming traffic. Traffic slowed and the vehicle suddenly returned to normal (no warning lights appeared) and I drove home cautiously with hazards on. When attempting to leave less than 45 minutes later, the vehicle started, then as I placed it into drive, it began lunging and the check engine light appeared. Because it was running rough and kept lunging, I parked and had it towed to the dealership. The DTC code listed was PO30300 (DTC system powertrain and subsystem EMS). Per the dealership, fuel injector #3 was bad and needed to be replaced. When I picked up the vehicle, notes stated “ GDI FUEL INJCTR REPL (ALL4)”. I picked up the vehicle after the repair. In August 2026 (30,923 miles), with less than 1,000 miles driven since repair, I started the vehicle and it immediately “died”. I restarted it and the check engine light came on and it began lunging out of my driveway. I also had difficulty getting the vehicle to brake and almost hit our community entrance/exit gate. A notification appeared on my infotainment system stating: “A possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected. A full system check is recommended to be done soon. Please contact your local dealership to schedule an appointment”. The DTC codes listed on the Hyundai app were: PO30020, PO30040, PO30010, PO30000, and PO19185, P217700. (DTC system powertrain and subsystem EMS). I had the vehicle towed to the dealership. They didn’t have a loaner vehicle and I canceled my trip. Later, I was notified that “a hose was disconnected and was allowing air to enter the engine”. He stated, “we flushed it out and everything is working now”. I was told I could come pick it up before they closed.

ENGINE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

On August 26, 2026, while driving to work, my 2022 Hyundai Tucson unexpectedly lost power and shut down while the vehicle was being driven. This created a serious safety concern because the vehicle became inoperable while in traffic. This vehicle has had a history of repeated problems and has been taken to Hyundai dealerships for repairs on numerous occasions. Despite these previous dealership visits and repair attempts, the vehicle continues to experience problems. The latest incident, in which the vehicle shut down while being driven, has significantly increased my concern regarding the safety and reliability of the vehicle. The vehicle is being made available for inspection and diagnosis. At this time, the exact component or cause of the failure is unknown. I am requesting that this complaint be documented because of the sudden loss of power while driving and the vehicle's history of repeated dealership visits and repairs. I am concerned that this condition could cause a crash if the vehicle unexpectedly loses power again while traveling in traffic or at highway speeds.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Fuel injector went bad causing vehicle engine to misfire and shake rapidly. Check engine light is on. The vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it. Seems to be a very common concern for this make and model and roughly the same years. Will not accelerate instantly and will surge a bit when it does. Will still shake when the vehicle is idle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

My wife was driving my SUV while I was a passenger. We were in the left lane, and put the left turn signal on while traveling south bound approaching an intersection to take a left turn (traveling approximately 3-5 Miles Per Hour and slowing) at the traffic light (traffic light was green). There was a car in front of us that had stopped waiting for oncoming traffic to clear and make the same left turn onto the same road as us. While traveling in this lane we hit a deep pot hole (not very visible while driving), just as we were approaching the vehicle stopped in front of us. When hitting the pot hole, our SUV seemed to leap forward a bit and when the brakes were applied to slow and stop, the braking system failed (appeared to freeze) and the brakes did not work, and because the braking didn’t work, our vehicle hit the car in front of us. Prior to and after hitting the pothole, no audible warning sounds or visible alerts appeared and no emergency braking was activated. The airbags in our vehicle never deployed. Our safety (my wife and I) as well as the safety of the 2 passengers in the other vehicle were at risk as we all could have been injured in the accident. As we needed the vehicle for transportation, we immediately began filing all the necessary police and insurance reports and brought our vehicle into an Auto Body Repair Shop to be repaired the next day. During the repair work, some of the responsible components may or may not have been replaced and the Auto Body Repair Shop also had all the car sensors recalibrated by a 3rd party, which is why we did not bring the car to a dealership to evaluate. To the best of our knowledge, the manufacturer, the police and the insurance company did not inspect the vehicle. We are not experts, but hitting a pothole might be considered an edge case, so I’m not sure that a dealership would have tried or been able to replicate the issue.
