LANE DEPARTURE: WARNING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
I bough my new suv around 4 to 5 months ago. Since i bought it and this only happened about 3 times. I was on highway and with no cars on the highway and myself going 70 the collision in the front came on and emergency breaking saying im about to hit something. But nothing was there. This also happened when i reversed too. The brakes would slam on saying collision. Also when im driving in a straight line the lane detection moves me in the middle of the road to the white lines are under my car and i am driving on 2 lanes. It keeps trying to move me over to other lane even though im in the correct lane. I have almost got into like 7 accidents. I already brought my car to the dealer and they told me there is no fix for that. I am not the first to come in saying the same thing.

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
I bought my brand new car about 4 months ago. When i bought the car it was raining and i mentioned about the driver side wiper not working properly. They told me i have warranty and just bring it in when i can. I made an appointment and i have been there 2 times with same issue. The issue is the wiper skips on the windshield and makes loud bang when it goes to the left of the wndshield. I changed the factory wipers to brand new $30.00 Bosch and they same thing happened until 2 weeks the wiper finally just broke. I am on my 4th driver side wiper since i bought the car brand new 4 - 5 months ago. All i ask them is to replace the wiper arm but they told me until there is a recall they cannot replace it. Even though they see the issue. I cannot drive my suv if it rains out and in florida it rains everyday. The wiper just skips while making loud screacing noise. The Advisor told me that universal hyundai sold me the car without the lining on the windshield and idk what that means. I take my car to same dealer i bought the suv at. Please have a solution so i can get this fixed. Thank You

STRUCTURE:BODY
The driver's door gets stuck on a regular basis preventing entrance from the outside. This problem causes an inconvenience of needing to open the door from the inside of the car. As a reference, a few years ago the same issue above occurred but with the back door in which Hyundai repaired.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There have been several incidents where my Hyundai Tucson could have caused a major accident with another vehicle. The first time, I was driving down a hill and I barely could control the car. It began to jerk and I had to gradually steer it into another lane out of traffic. Another time, the oil just began to spout out from under the car while I was driving. It's still difficult keeping oil in the car, but the mechanic says there's no leak. Lastly. my engine light has been blinking off and on , and the mechanic changed the spark plugs and a number 2 coil, but I am still having engine problems. I was given the engine code P1326 from their diagnosis. Since purchasing the car with only about 43000 miles, I have had to replace the transmission, catalytic converter. get a tune up, spark plugs and a coil, and get the drivers side window fixed. All of this has come to over $5000, and now I'm told the engine needs to be replaced. Something about the camshaft.

SERVICE BRAKES
I needed to stop quickly, but not unreasonably fast. I had time to consider my passenger and that this would be a quick stop for them. I then firmly applied the brakes and it felt like something kicked in causing the car specifically not to stop or slow down as expected. I subsequently had to push harder and harder to try to get the car to stop, which it didn't in time and I t-boned another vehicle (minor) that then left the scene. My passenger, who I do not have a relationship with and had just met that night, turned to me and said "you're car didn't stop." She noticed this as well. Upon having it fixed at the auto body shop, they found that "the brake pedal is below the gas pedal and keeping brakes applied when brake pedal is released. The brake pedal assembly is bend and holding brake pads applied when driving." I spoke to the technician (owner?) who said that "if the pedal assembly is bending instead of stopping then it is possible that this caused it." He also suggested that "brake assemblies don't bend" and that he has never seen or heard of one bending in his decades of work. All I know is that I applied the brakes quickly, but not unreasonably and the car reacted in a way causing it not to stop when it should have. Whether this was a problem with the ABS or the brake pedal assembly bending, I am not sure. I do want to document that this car did not stop as it should have and feel that a mechanical problem caused this collision. Fortunately we made light contact with the other vehicle, the air bags did not go off and there were no injuries. There was, however serious risk of injury should cars have been only a few feet further in any direction. This car was repaired by a body shop.

ENGINE
My car stopped abruptly on my way home. Tried to restart the car to no avail. Placed a call to McGovern Hyundai dealership in Leominster Ma and they ask me to hold, They informed me my car is part of a safety recall and needs to be tow over. I did as instructed, McGovern dealership informed they will work it out with Hyundai Motor America. I received two letters in my mail, One for safety recall and they will be fixed at NO CHARGE. Dealership informed me my engine work is not part of a recall and i should pay for the charges. Further checks reveals that my car model, year and make was part of a class action lawsuit which Hyundai settled due to failure of engines.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I was merging onto a highway at high speeds when the car stuttered. The check engine light began to flash and I lost acceleration. I could push the gas pedal to the floor and the car would not accelerate at all. The car lost it's speed and I could not go anymore than 30mph, and it would not go higher than 2rpms. It put me and my baby (who was in the backseat) in danger as we were going fast on a highway and out of nowhere the car lost speed and I could not accelerate. I could've easily been hit by another driver going the regular speed limit. I drove it to the dealership that just happened to be down the street, and the car struggled to accelerate from a complete stop, as well as in general. From a complete stop, the car would sputter and jerk when pressing on the gas pedal. The dealership diagnosed it as a faulty Knock Sensor. They said they would replace the sensor as it was still under warrenty. When I left the dealership, the check engine light was off and the car was driving fine. Fast forward to the next day, I was driving again on a highway at about 65mph, when the SAME thing happens. The car stuttered, lost all acceleration, and the check engine light was flashing. I ended up driving it home (about 10 miles away) and the whole time I could not go faster than 30mph without the car shaking. This time the car would not go higher than 1.5rpms. I checked the engine at home and a P1326 code came up, which is a code for the Knock Sensor. I called the Hyundai dealership that I originally went to and they said there was nothing they can do about it at the moment since they had just replaced it. Prior to all of this, there was no warning sign at all that this was a potential hazard. It happened so suddenly and both times it happened put me in a dangerous situation.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
Purchased this vehicle 12/2021 it hesitated on pick up but drove good after that nice look but the headlights are bad at night. First month I had a bad scare as when attempting to stop the brakes gave out, I had to pump multiple times to get the car to stop, this happened again about 1 month ago. On 10/10/22 while attempting to park in my driveway which is on a hill the car did not want to accelerate when pressing the gas and many lights turned on the dashboard. Warning, check engine, brake, front collision, etc. I have not had any accidents for the collision light to be on anyways. I turned the car off and restarted it I even disconnected the battery but still nothing the car has power because it does turn on and the lights, radio work but it just would not accelerate. I'm on a very dangerous hill lucky this happened late night when not much vehicle traffic. The next morning 10/11/22 around 10 am Hyundai came to pick up the vehicle. I passed by that day around 4 pm to see what was going on. They had not checked it yet which is understandable we ask the guy when he thought it would be checked out and he responded that towed vehicles take longer to be checked, we asked for a loner and they said they did not have. Saturday 10/15/22 went again, the car was still in the same spot not looked at yet, today 10/19/22- 1 week and 1 day they have not checked the car and we were told they had a lot of cars to work on and we were far down on that list. So basically they will probably take 2-3 weeks to even look at it and if any parts are needed it would probably take another month and without a loner. So we the paying clients have to figure it out. This is very unacceptable not to mention how scary it was for the car to completely give out on a hill thank god no one was driving or walking behind me. I have been driving for 29 yrs and have never experienced something like this. This car can potentially be deadly specially to a new driver.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

October 7, 2022 my wife with my 7yrs old granddaughter was driving on the highway. She stayed in the middle of 3 lines. At some point the engine lost power shaking badly and quickly slowed down to 30 miles/hr in 70 miles/hr speed limit zone with semi trucks moving in quickly and honking. Thankfully she managed to stop safety on the side of the highway. Later diagnostic showed multiple misfire on all cylinders and opening the engine showed cracked cylinder. I, backed by 2 independent mechanics opinion, think the crack existed long time before the incident. I reported to the car dealer service excessive oil consumption (1qt every 600 miles) only to be told it’s normal. Then the Hyundai Corporation denied 100 k warranty repair blaming without any proof, poor maintenance

My car Was taken care of always getting oil changes whatever it needed done.. one day my car started making a rattling noise. it turned out it was my engine. I do see a ton of my model car 2017 Hyundai Tuscon been having same problems on recall I believe mine is under that category but saying its not. Im literally having the same exact problem as these people that have the recall for their cars. I was literally on the highway and thought I was going to die because my engine was making so much noise and this came out of nowhere the car is in good condition and less than 100,00 miles on it it shouldn't have a engine fail.
