The contact owns a 2012 Hyundai Tucson. While driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact noticed that the vehicle had three quarters of a tank of fuel; however, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed. On another occasion, the fuel tank had a significant amount of fuel, but the vehicle failed to start. Additionally, the vehicle failed to register the correct amount of fuel in the tank and would not exceed $2 worth of fuel. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel intake filler hose failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle back to the certified mechanic, but the failure was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
I purchased this vehicle in August, 2018 as a used unit. Starting the next month I would be driving down the road and doing the same speed with no acceleration on my part and the motor would rev up by itself to 6000-8000 rpm and the vehicle does not gain any speed. This has happened intermittently described to my mechanic when I took in for an oil change and he couldn't figure out what could have happened. Thanksgiving day traveling about 95 miles to my brother's house and did the revving 3x's. Since thanksgiving the same problem has happened approximately 4 more times. This happens when the vehicle is in motion and maintaining the same speed. The speeds have been between 40 to 65 mph, so there isn't one set speed that it happens. Since it doesn't gain/lose speed it hasn't been a problem yet.
