My adult son was driving and under the hood started to smoke. He pulled over and opened the hood to take a look and then a fire started under the hood! the fire department was called and they put out the fire, cut the gasoline and duct taped it up so the fuel line would not further ignite the hot engine. My insurance is looking into what would have caused a random under the hood fire. Luckily no one was injured. However the engine section of the car is melted beyond belief. My insurance has not told me if the car is repairable or not.
When driving my check engine light started to blink and my car would not accelerate. I made it home and plugged in a diagnostic reader and got the code p1326 glow relay short circuit. My car along with my friends 2021 Hyundai Tucson both have this same issue. There needs to be a recall for these years. There is a recall out for this specific problem in sonatas and Tucsons and need to cover these years as well.
This call actively has a recall on engine rods any Hyundai and some kia models ranging from 2011 all the way until 2022. They are known for having a faulty motor with active oil consumption and are currently facing several lawsuits and my car is one of these cars facing this issue however, the manufacturer doesn’t want to fully create a recall on the motor claims that are causing this rapid oil consumption issue I would like this to be investigated as well as it be investigative why you don’t already have their current active recall listed on your website . But if your website was correct and listed the engine, roddery call, and if my engine rod were to blow, then they would actually address this issue however, some people are getting this issue addressed under their manufacturer warranty however it is becoming extremely difficult because they want us to pay out-of-pocket for a pointless test as newer vehicles should not be burning oil with no active problems. Clearly, the states there is a problem which there is as of all the active lawsuits.
When it rains water droplets from back door impair rear view back up vision. Round spots are obstructing the view on back up camera.
Unknown cause for internal malfunction of the catalytic converter. Hyundai did have prior issues in 2019 with the publication of a technical service bulletin.
Problem with engine , not holding oil. Also, I have had 2 catalytic converters replaced within one year. Dealer is telling me my warranty expires at 80,000 instead of 100,000. Last, tail light electrical issue.
In may of 2023, my house burnt down. We were in it at the time when the smoke detector went off. When I opened the door from to kitchen to the garage, I saw flames shooting up at the front of my car. The fire was so intense at that moment, I knew all we could do was flee the house. I grabbed my wife and we ran out the front door. You do not have a recall listed for my vehicle, but Hyundai lists two. The first one listed can potentially cause a fire. Both recall maintenance was performed on my car. I sincerely believe that the car was the cause of the fire. Since it had been sitting in my garage for approximately four hours, the engine wasn't hot. I had it regularly serviced at the local Hyundai dealership. There were multiple fire investigators, including one from Hyundai. Here is the recall information.

My vehicle was stolen due to not having an ignition immobilizer. There were no warning lights. Yes its a known issue.
The car engine completely shuts down without warning. This has happened over a dozen times since last summer. The only thing we can think of was the abs module recall work, but the dealership says everything is fine with the car and they cannot replicate. This happens when the car is at a stop, or sometimes driving slowly or turning. The engine gets quiet, the lights flicker, and then gas no longer works to accelerate. To fix this, we have to shift the car back to p, then turn the car off, then turn it on again, and then put it back into d. Sometimes this happens in the middle of live traffic which is unsafe. We have an active case with Hyundai America open about this issue since the dealers cannot identify and fix the issue. This is a high safety issue for my family and other drivers. The car is available for inspection. The frequency of this occurs about once a week (it used to happen 1-2 times per month but recently has been increasing. ).
Vehicle was stolen in day light in milwaukee area between 5 and 8 pm on 5/13/2022. Was aware of high theft but thought that it was safe do to the time I was there. Milwaukee pd didn't file the case in time and had mukwonago pd show up at the house to question me about my car. We had 3 high school kids with us and 5 adults to verify the theft.
Since mid to late December 2021 the airbag light has come on roughly 4 to 6 or more times. The last time currently was 05/07/2022 after having had the "code cleared and a reset" done at the dealership of purchase. This reset took place at 10:27 am and the light came on again at 1:57 pm. The cost to me was $175. 00. I feel this poses a safety concern though I was told "most likely the airbag would fail to go off".
My windshield cracked right after I got my car in 2020. I was driving. No pebble hit my windshield. I had my windshield replaced and the same thing happened, although the second time a pebble did hit my windshield, you cant feel the crack from the outside or inside.
These vehicles I been noticing looks like they having issues with their staters or something I been seeing on youtube everyone having same issue like I'm where on cold days you try to start the engine it just makes a clicking sound with a burning smell.

This car has had an active recall for months, I have tried to get this fixed and when I make an appointment to get the car serviced they say they don't have the parts for the recall and don't know when they will get it. Now I also have a warning on the dashboard for an issue with tires and can't get in to see them as I had an appointment they canceled. At this point I think their maintenance program is fraudulent and should be investigated.
I received a letter stating my 2020 Hyundai Tucson is affected by a recall concerning the abs modules that could cause an engine compartment fire. I called to schedule a recall repair and the dealership stated Hyundai has not yet released the parts to make the repair. I was told they did not know when the parts would come in. With a serious recall like this, these repairs should be made ASAP.
I am complaining about my car's rearview camera, I can literally not see what's going on behind me in low light. The entire purpose of the camera is to promote safety so people can see what is behind them, this is not the case with my vehicle. I also have an option in the menu to have an audible warning when backing up, this is not working either. I have raised the issue with Hyundai and they just tell me that is how the car is designed and there is nothing they can do. How do you design a car to have a useless back up camera? it seems like it is a general problem with the 2020 Hyundai Tucson and I feel it should be investigated and corrected. I have another 2020 Hyundai model, and the backup camera is crystal clear. I am attaching photos of the Tucson camera quality, which is worse the majority of the time, as well as the quality on another Hyundai Tucson.
I was informed of a recall for the abs system for my Hyundai Tucson 2020. I was directed to their website to schedule an appointment for service, which I scheduled at Hyundai of long island city in new york. Once I arrived at my scheduled time for this specific issue and after waiting 30 minutes to even speak with a service representative, I was told there is a backorder of the required parts to fix this issue and it might be another 2-3 weeks. I was told I need to call them to check in to see if parts are in. I find it unacceptable that I was allowed to make an appointment for an urgent issue, only to be told it can't be fixed. I should not have to call back several times in the following weeks to keep asking if their parts are in. I also asked for a loaner vehicle and they said they don't have any. I find the handling of this important safety recall to be negligent and is putting me at further risk while I wait for the required safety repairs. I have attached a photo of the recall notice I received in the mail. As well as screenshots of the online scheduling service.
Twice within nine days give or take a day, oct. 31 being the last time the SUV turned itself off once traveling app. 25 mph, the second about 45mph . A few minutes later it turned itself back on. This is my wifes car. Thankfully both times she was able to get the car off the road and not have an accident. The first time it happened she thought that she did something ,had no idea what but since the car started she did not tell me. Can't explain that, it is my wife. The second time on route 10 in east hanover NJ she called me while the car was still rolling to a stop. Over thr phone I could hear a grinding like sound similar to worn out brake pads. Being less than a 1/2 mile from work when it started again I told her to drive it to work. Town Hyundai bi denville NJ was called to come and get the car. After having the car for 22days the could not find the problem and hid behind the NJ lemon law to deny our request to repurchase the car no one in their right mind would drive the car two more times to see if it would shut itself off the potential for an accident /death /injury outways the idiotic notion that the car needs to do this two more times to qualify for the lemon law . My only concern is that this dealership or corporate yahoos try so resell or release this car . It is death on wheels please do not let them do this.
I was notified of a recall around October notified the dealer for repair they gave me an appt and then cancelled it said they had to order part this vehhicle could catch fire so I have to park outside and everytime I call the dealer they say no parts I am concerned and don't know what to do.
The backup camera is blurry and fuzzy during the day and even worse at night. Almost useless at night time. The camera system is supposed to be a safety feature but it is not very good when you can't make out objects and there isn't a warning noise when you are about to back up into something. I have taken to service dept at dealership 3 times now and they have installed a new camera and it is still the same as the first one. I think Hyundai needs to get a much better quality camera system for the 2020 Hyundai Tucson ultimates. I was at walmart 3 nights ago backing out of a parking space and did not see the lady walking behind my car b/c the camera system is horrible at night time.
