FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
At certain times my car doesn’t want to start. Like when there were carburetors in cars way back in the day, I literally have to pump the gas to make it start. And then once it does, it’s very hesitant to go on the road like it has no power. And then another time my car totally just shut down in the middle of traffic and would barely go, like it had no speed ability. This happens often my car is not under warranty. And it is not included in the recall with some kind of fuel pump situation. I had a mechanic look at it. He seems to think it’s something to do with the fuel pump. But unfortunately, I cannot afford the cost of repairing that, and he didn’t seem quite certain as well.

ENGINE
As I was driving my 2017 Hyundai Tuscan to work, my vehicle would not accelerate when I pressed the accelerator. The engine would not function properly leaving me in the middle of moving traffic. I was able to pull off the main road to a safe place. My insurance company (Geico) sent an assessor out 7/22/24 who noted a blown engine due to a prematurely worn connecting rod bearing for which there is a noted recall on this particular vehicle model.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Lost power when accelerating up highway hills, it coded P0420, catalytic converter on Bank 1 is not operating as efficiently as it should. This code is often caused by issues with the fuel or exhaust systems, which can result in insufficient oxygen leaving the catalytic converter. Hyundai dealer changed the catalytic converter July 2023, 1 yr to the day my vehicle did the same thing and had another Hyundai dealer change the catalytic converter to which 1 week later my car is still showing the code and is still jolting as I try to pick up speed.

I have a 2016 Hyundai Tucson Limited. I have had both front windows Regulators break within the past year. I had the drivers side repaired but, was hoping there would be a recall before I spent $800 to repair the other one. But Hyundai should own up to this issue and have a recall, If they want return customers. Time to step up Hyundai

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
While my husband was driving on the freeway and I was a passenger in the front seat, the automatic emergency braking employed while we were driving about 70MPH. We have no idea why. There was no cars breaking around us, and no reason for it. There was plenty of space between us and the car in front of us. The car behind us had to swerve to the other lane to avoid rear ending us. My husband had to grab hold of the steering wheel hard with both hands as the sudden breaking made our car swerve to the side. It was terrifying. Then about 5 seconds after his happened, it happened again.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Failure to accelerate. While entering Route 95 from on ramp traveling at about 40 miles the car failed to accelerate. Gas pedal revved engine but failed to accelerate and slowed. Safety of myself and others in grave risk as I was trying to merge into traffic that was traveling at 65 miles per hour. I contacted dealer and was told appointment was not available for weeks and they never heard of the problem. I will bring auto into dealership and leave it with them as it is clearly unsafe to drive. No warning light on dash or engine light problem was present.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Constantly have to get oil changes. Initially when I would be due for another oil change, the mechanic mentions there is no oil. I started to come sooner than the due date and mileage and same issue. Oil is burning quickly. Car is stuttering and jerky on acceleration, but my car is not apart of that recall. The car headlights continues to change on it on and filters through the light settings on it’s on at random times.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
The hybrid system flashes "Check Hybrid System" then the check engine and check HEV lights are illuminated. The vehicle loses power and even with the gas pedal pushed firmly to the floor the engine isn't producing power. This is a safety issue because I've lost power while driving on busy roads and can't clear the intersection, etc. This was reproduced at the dealership and Hyundai is performing a warranty replacement of the "hybrid system". I wanted to make NHTSA aware of the issue because on the Hyundai forums I'm seeing similar reports made. There is an open campaign to update the software for the hybrid system, 9B4, but this software update did not fix the issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
The first incident was on 5/27/24 when I was traveling about 45 mph. The check engine light came on and the car started to shimmy and shake when I pressed the gas. Error code came up on the screen for P0304, injector #4 was bad. Had the vehicle towed to the closest dealer for warranty repair and was told this is a known issue but no recall has been placed. Then on 7/16/24, same thing happened while traveling out of town. Hyundai app was down so couldn't get an error code. Again had the vehicle towed to a dealer and this code was P0302, #2 injector was bad. Obviously there is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Need to know if this is a permanent fix or if the other 2 will go out soon. I attached a photo of this report and can also get a copy of the one from May as needed.

The driver's side back door will not open from the inside or outside. There was no warning or damage down to cause this, just one day it would not open. From research on the internet this is a common problem with a 2016 Tucson and is due from the lock actuator and is not being recalled. This is a huge safety risk if someone needed to exit the backseat quickly.
