Defect investigations
Pedestrian alert sounds
the federal safety agency received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, the federal safety agency opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified the federal safety agency he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by the federal safety agency regarding the subject matter of the petition.
DP22005
Loss of Motive Power
the federal safety agency received a letter dated July 13, 2022, petitioning the Agency to initiate a safety defect investigation into loss of motive power allegations attributed to oil drain pan assembly failures on certain Hyundai Motor America, Inc. and Kia America, Inc. vehicles spanning Model Years (MY) 2005-2021. The Petitioners cited examples of complaints indicating that the subject vehicles were experiencing rapid loss of engine oil due to oil drain plug back outs, resulting in loss of motive power and/or catastrophic engine damage. Additional complaints were provided which alleged that the oil drain pans lack sufficient structural integrity and are susceptible to cracking. The petition itself can be reviewed at under ODI number 11481745. On September 12, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Defect Petition (DP22-003) to evaluate the Petitionersâ request. The Petitioners have provided additional complaints within four supplemental letters dated January 31, 2023, March 21, 2023, May 23, 2023, and August 4, 2023. ODIâs evaluation included the review and analysis of the complaints and supporting information submitted by the Petitioners, as well as additional complaints submitted directly to the federal safety agency which referenced either the oil drain plug or a crack in the oil pan. After reviewing the available data, ODI has not identified evidence that would support opening a defect investigation into the oil drain pan assemblies of the subject vehicles. Based on a review of the available information, a loss of motive power resulting from an oil drain plug back out has not occurred between the initial sale of a vehicle and the completion of its first oil change. If during an oil change service, a technician fails to remove the existing drain plug gasket before installing a new gasket, it is likely that a proper seal between the drain plug and the oil pan will not be made. An improper seal between the drain plug and oil pan could lead to the backing out on the drain plug, resulting in the sudden loss of oil while driving. Additionally, the provided examples of oil pan cracks were localized to the immediate vicinity of the oil drain plug and/or appeared to be the result of direct-contact with a tool during servicing. Â There is no information to support that a vehicle-based defect exists relating to the oil pan assembly, and instead the documented incidents are related to the failure to follow the proper maintenance procedures during oil change service. In October 2023, Hyundai published a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that provided detailed instructions for oil change service on its gasoline powered vehicles, specifically highlighting the need to remove and replace the existing drain plug gasket prior to reinstalling the drain plug. After a thorough review of the material submitted by the petitioner, the information already in the federal safety agency's possession, and the potential risks to motor vehicle safety implicated by the petitioners' allegations, the federal safety agency does not believe that a formal investigation is warranted. Therefore, the petition is denied. A Federal Register Notice (FRN) further detailing the federal safety agencyâs reasons for denial of the petition will be published. The reference numbers for the complaints to the federal safety agency cited by the petitioner can be found in the petition submission documents in the public file for DP22-003. To review those complaints and the additional complaints ODI added to its evaluation which are cited in the Closing Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to

What 2022 Hyundai Tucson owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The windshield wipers were set to auto during a torrential downpour. When they increased to a high speed of wiping, we heard a large crack and the windshield wiper had completely broke on us. We were going around 45 MPH on a highway and were 1 hour away from our destination. We had little to no visibility for the remainder of the car ride as it continued to downpour and was the most terrifying drive. We went to Dick Hannah's in Portland, OR to get it fixed. My fiance, who is an automotive engineer, told them what he believed happened; something in the arm itself has malfunctioned or misaligned to cause this. The dealership claimed it was the windshield wipers that caused them to break. I had purchased the car from carmax a few months prior, so they told us it wasn't covered. We went back and forth as we were certain it wasn't the wipers, but took their word for it. They "fixed it". Then, it happened for the second time. I was driving 55 MPH on the freeway while it was down-pouring and again, while set to auto, the wipers broke. It's hard not to panic. I immediately turned off the wipers before more damage could happen and lost visibility completely, causing more panic. I tried to switch it to low to get some visibility and took the next exit I could. I never made it to my destination and drove home instead on inside roads just in case. I don't understand how this isn't a recall. It has put us in such dangerous situations. High-speed highways/freeways, downpours, and no visibility do not mix.
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while attempting to operate the windshield wipers, the wiper blades froze. The contact attempted to restart the wiper blades cycle, but the failure reoccurred repeatedly. The contact stated that the failure created a safety hazard while driving in inclement weather. The dealer was contacted and a diagnostic test was pending. The failure mileage was 30,000.
The fuel door doesn't work. My safety is at risk because I cannot put gas in my car. If i can't put gas in my car then it will stop working. If it starts working, the car becomes useless. There were no warning lights or anything. This is a common problem and should have a lifetime warranty.
Approximately one week after having my oil changed at a Hyundai dealership, I began experiencing intermittent collision safety alerts and multiple dashboard warning lights. On three separate occasions when I started the vehicle, warnings appeared for the forward and rear collision systems, along with multiple other sensor warnings and engine warning lights. During one incident while driving in traffic, the forward collision warning activated and the vehicle abruptly applied the brakes. I was nearly rear-ended as a result. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership on two separate occasions. The dealership reported replacing a sensor, but the warning lights and collision system issues have continued to occur intermittently. I am concerned that the vehicle may unexpectedly apply the brakes again, creating a risk of a collision.
The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at 5 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. The contact stated that the vehicle independently accelerated. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed with force and the vehicle stopped. The failure was intermittent at first but became more persistent. The dealer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000.
On three occasions my car suddenly stopped transferring power by not accelerating when the gas pedal was pressed. The first time the engine light came on and when I brought it for service they said it was a sensor covered by warranty and repaired it. The second time it happened while I was trying to merge with traffic on the highway. I took an exit and managed to get to the dealer. They replaced the fuel injector and fuel line. The third time, first the car struggled to start after work. Then, I was pulling out of the parking lot, crossing a very busy road. The car could barely get up to and past 20 mph. Once I got it to 35 or so, I stayed on local roads with my hazards on, and managed to get it to the dealer. No engine light came on and they haven’t been able to replicate the issue. This is a very serious safety concern! I am afraid to drive it now since the car can stop without warning and without any brake lights coming on. I am fully covered by warranty but am worried they won’t want to cover the cost to make my vehicle safe. Google shows engine problems like this as one of the known issues on the 2022 Tucson Limited.
My car suddenly broke down on the side of a busy highway halfway through my workday. When attempting to restart it, all warning lights came on on the dashboard and I could see white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe while the car shook. I had it towed to the nearest Hyundai dealership and they confirmed it was broken fuel injector(s). I do not have the broken piece to show as it is with the dealership. It has not been examined by police or insurance. No warning lights came on until after the car had suddenly slowed to a stop and I attempted to restart it.
Vehicle Fuel Injector code P053F84 Reading on 9/9/26, this is the second time vehicle was taken to the dealership for the exact same problem, the idle button in orange, and displayed, first visit while vehicle within warranty limits technician stated couldn't find anything wrong, now vehicle is out of warranty and dealership wants $1300 to fix the same issue.also the Engine was hesitating at each occurrence.
I had just started accelerating from a stop light at 715 am on a clear morning. I was not close to any other cars and there was no traffic entering. Without warning my collision warning came on and brought the car to a sudden stop. This is damgerous and I am lucky I was not rear ended
