Wiper problems of the 2022 Hyundai Tucson

While driving my 2022 Hyundai Tucson at highway speed, the panoramic sunroof spontaneously shattered with a loud “explosion” sound. There was no road debris, overhead structure, or external cause, and no warning lights or prior symptoms. The glass shows a central hole with spiderweb cracking radiating outward, which is consistent with a manufacturing defect in tempered glass panels, not an impact. The sunroof shade was closed, preventing glass from entering the cabin, but this failure created a serious safety risk to occupants and nearby drivers. This matches numerous reports of Hyundai panoramic sunroof failures and is similar to the pattern documented in NHTSA investigation pe13-017. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by Hyundai but is available for inspection. Incident occurred on [xxx], while driving from monroe, louisiana, to atlanta, GA, shortly after departure. The failure created a serious safety issue, forcing us to stop at a home depot and perform emergency repairs using tarp and gorilla tape to secure the roof and continue our trip safely. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

Driving and the sunroof exploded. Sounded like a gunshot. Glass went flying. Distracted my driving and nearly crashed into another car from the loud bang.

While driving our 2022 Hyundai Tucson, with panoramic sunroof, on the highway my wife and son suddenly heard a very loud bang, like a gunshot. After pulling over an inspection of the car found the sunroof had completely shattered and there was a large hole in the roof. Fortunately, the interior fabric cover was closed otherwise they would have been showered with shattered glass while driving. When this occurred there was no indication of any flying or falling objects and inspection of the glass shards captured by the fabric cover didn't show anything but glass, no rocks, etc.

The front windshield starting cracking from the bottom left corner ( driver's side) upto the middle of the windshield and continuing to the right going upward. There is no visible signs of and rock damage. Also the wipers blades (when turned on wiping) don't cover the windshield completely. It leaves open s o aces when in the wiping mode. This is a brand new car we bought. This is unacceptable.

The windshield wipers on our 2022 Hyundai Tucson are failing. They still work but will randomly stop in the middle of the windshield blocking our vision. Yes, the problem has been reproduced by a dealer during our second visit. The first time we reported it while getting an oil change, they wouldn't do anything about it because they said they couldn't reproduce it. There were no warning lamps or messages about the problem and it is getting worse. It used to only do it when you use intermittent mode, but now it does it all the time, regardless of mode. Our concern is that they will stop working altogether. Once it was reproduced, they had to order parts and cannot give us a timeline for when they will have the parts. It's been over a week now and we haven't heard back.

Back view mirror does not support proper adjustment for use. Mirror does not tilt far enough upward causing me to only see the back seats and not my back mirror. Unable to use mirror places me at risk when backing up or adjusting to traffic, making me unable to see emergency vehicles or police from behind.

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.

The component that failed are the visibility with headlights being completely snow packed and covered in a snow storm. The lights themselves did not fail, but the design causes snow to get stuck over all the headlights, which continues building to a point where 99%+ of light blocked. This has occurred numerous times since owning the car, easily 20+ times. Very dangerous, oncoming cars will flash their headlights because the Tucson headlights are completely covered. Visibility is greatly decreased. Have to pull over multiple times driving in snow storms to break the snow and ice free from the headlights, only to build up again once driving. This puts not only our lives, but other drivers lives at risk. Just imagine driving in winter conditions, at night, with no headlights. Mentioned to dealer, but not documented anywhere and was not given any serious consideration. At that point we were focused on trying to get the power loss/hesitation and extremely rough shifting fixed. Big design flaw with the combination of headlights built into the grill, and with new technology, the lights must not get hot enough to melt the snow. Anyone who thinks that driving in a snow storm, at night, and no headlights isn't a huge safety issue or that this is exaggerated, I invite you to come take a ride with us this winter.

The headlights on the 2022 Hyundai Tucson are a road safety hazard and should be outlawed from us roadways. Turning on the headlights creates a dark shadow covering over half of the windshield from top to bottom with a triangle at the bottom of shadow at each end. The triangles can be seen on each headlight lens. Driving the Tucson at night is like wearing a pair of dark sunglasses. The bottom of the shadow moves with every movement of the vehicle which is distracting hazardous, hypnotizing and not safe. If I would have driven this vehicle at night, I would not have purchased it.
