In Dec. 2023 my car stopped dead in the middle of the road. After being towed to ABC Hyundai in las Vegas they had to replace a fuel injector and I was told it could occur again On [XXX] the car began sputtering and shaking. When I bought it in I was told it was the fuel injector. I was told that Hyundai no longer changes just the one injector as they did before but now Hyundai has a complete kit. There was none at the dealership so it was ordered on Sat May 17 and told it would be in on Tues May20 but now I'm told it's back ordered. They are supposed to give a loaner but non available. I cannot be without a car as I live alone and need a car. I called corporate customer service today May 22 but the won't get back to me for several days. I was told by dealer service to rent a car and I would get reimbursed but corporate said that it would be at my discretion. My car has 14700 miles INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

At only 35k miles. Check engine display with heavy vibration due to misfire faulty fuel injectors. Repair took one month. Seems like Hyundai is not taking any action for this common safty issue.

Driving on Interstate 64 in southern Indiana approximately 70 mph in left lane when engine died without any warning signs. Was able to safely maneuver vehicle to shoulder without incident. Paid to have the vehicle towed 60 miles to Hyundai dealer. Dealer stated engine failure was due to injector issue known by Hyundai as a technical issue was released.

My 2022 Hyundai Tuscon is in the shop for a SECOND time due to a bad fuel injector. The first time was 4 months ago. My vehicle's check engine light went on and it went into "limp mode" on a major roadway. (I take all major highways to work.) A vehicle going into "limp mode" on a highway is super dangerous. My check engine light went on once again, and I brought it into the dealership service center. I left it there for 36 hours, only to learn that they did not have the parts on site to do the repairs. I have to bring it BACK for another 24-36 hours for the repair to be completed on a SECOND bad fuel injector. How Hyundai hasn't issued a recall for the fuel injectors yet is appalling.

In December 2024, the engine lost power while driving. We were able to pull over on a busy road, where we were blocking traffic on a curve. We had it towed to the dealership. There was no warning or light indicating any problem. Thankfully we were not on the freeway when this occurred. The Hyundai app said that all systems in the vehicle were normal. The fuel injector was replaced by Hyundai. Now, 4 months later, the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership, and another fuel injector needed to be replaced. The service manager stated that he requested that all of the fuel injectors be replaced because this is a known issue, but Hyundai denied the request, so they only replaced one fuel injector. I am expecting this to happen again, and I am especially worried that the vehicle could lose power while driving on the freeway. Please note that this vehicle was purchased new, and I have had all the scheduled maintenance performed at the Hyundai dealership.

Without warning the car started misfiring while I was driving around town. It continued and became worse. I was in Wisconsin on vacation with the closest Hyundai dealer over an hour away. Mileage was 62416 and I had the tires replaced two weeks prior to leaving and while there I explained I would be driving from Virginia to Wisconsin and asked they let me know if the vehicle needed any service. I took it to a local shop to see if it was something easily repaired and was told it was probably a fuel injector and I should take it to the dealership as it may be under warranty. So I had to have it towed and rent a car. According to the dealership the warranty for the fuel injectors ended at 60000 miles.

My car stopped on the street without notice, check engine light came on and won’t moved, no power on acceleration. Was towed to dealership. Next two days, they told me that two fuel injectors were blocked/broke. I searched on internet and that has happened in many vehicles.

September 15, 2024 while driving with cruise control set at 65mpg, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson began shaking and experienced an abrupt loss of power. I released the cruise control, and the vehicle wouldn't accelerate over 45 mph without shaking severely. September 16, 2024 car was inspected by a dealership and determined it was the 4th cylinder fuel injector; mileage on the vehicle was 45,314. Repairs were made per a TSB P030X. January 27, 2025, while driving with cruise control at 60mph, the same thing happened again. Managed to get the car to another dealership, only to find out all 4 fuel injectors needed to be replaced; this time with a TSB 25-FL-001H kit; mileage was 50181. Approximately March 11, 2025 car started the same issue, only this time there was no abrupt shaking or loss of power, however very strong smell of fumes. I refused to park the car in my garage, and immediately called Hyundai USA with all of this information from the start of these issues until current. The car was then taken to another dealership with mileage at 51332, only a difference of 1151 miles since last issue. This time all of the fuel injector seals are melted. Hyundai USA refuses to do anything about it. It was verified with the service technician this last time, that raw fuel was leaking onto the hot engine and could have resulted in the car catching on fire. The first two times this happened, I was out of state while being broken down.

The fuel injectors are bad. When the first fuel injector failed, the Hyundai mechanic stated that the remainder of fuel injectors would also fail but they could not proactively replace them. Two fuel injectors have failed in the matter of 6 months and it’s expected the last two will follow suit.

Vehicle began shaking upon starting and was not accelerating properly. Engine light came on and a warning appeared on the LED screen to take care to dealer immediately. Upon inspection by the dealer, the problem was determined to be a faulty fuel injector (on Thursday 3/20). The part is NOT kept in stock at the dealer and was ordered from the warehouse for delivery the next day (Friday 3/21). I should have had the car repaired and returned to me by end of day 3/21 or next day, Saturday 3/22. I called after not receiving an update on Friday and was told the part is on BACKORDER. When the problem was diagnosed on 3/20, at the Hyundai dealer service department, the employee in the service department admitted that this was a common problem with the Tuscon and that no recall had been issued. He also said that the car is NOT DRIVABLE until the issue is fixed. A quick Google search showed that is very much a serious and common issue. I also appears that once one goes out, the rest will start to need to be replaced and are being done AS THEY BREAK, rather than replacing them all and/or fixing what is causing them to be faulty. I was told they have no idea when the parts will be ready. It clearly is a common problem if they do not have the parts readily available to fix my vehicle. In addition, he added it may take up to several weeks. The car just turned 3 years old and has 34,000 miles on it. I have NEVER had such a bad issue with any new care I have owned. There was absolutely no indication anything was wrong on prior drives before starting up the car. I had just driven it 260 miles to my daughter's college and back. Thank goodness it didn't happen on the busy highway or on one of the country roads in the middle of cornfields. The dealer service employee said the broken part would be "sent for inspection" once they have it off and a new part available.

While driving in Dallas the engine seemed to have problems. We ended up pulling over and having the vehicle towed to a Hyundai dealer in Arlington TX where we live because we were concerned the vehicle was unsafe to drive and could stall out on a freeway. The dealer informed us they needed to replace the fuel injectors at a cost of approximately $1800. The vehicle has approx 60,000 miles and we also purchased an extended warranty. Apparently no warranties cover this issue according to the dealer. It seems Hyundai should take some responsibility for this defect which could be potentially dangerous when driving the vehicle with these known issues.

Fuel injectors failed. I was left on the side of a rural road for 2.5 hours waiting on a tow truck. No warning lights came on until my car was dead. I was told the injectors (4 of them) had failed by the dealership service center. This vehicle is still under warranty.

Fuel injector failure. Sudden loss of engine power creates a major safety issue when traveling at speed on highways or especially busy interstate highways. Vehicle was towed to dealer and repaired under warranty promptly. This is a known issue with this and other Hyundai models and all four fuel injectors should be replaced. At present, Hyundai only authorizes one be replaced at a time as they malfunction.

While driving on the highway, I attempted to accelerate up to 70 mph and the check engine light came on and the front end of the car started shaking. Had to pull over and restart the car to continue safely. This has happened four separate times at different mileage variables and each time they replace 2-3 of my fuel injectors with no explanation as to what is causing them to constantly blow. They never make it even 1000 miles before at least one goes out again. My vehicle is approaching 52,000 miles and has been serviced four times for this since December 2023. This needs to be a vehicle recall as the warranty will not pay for this forever and the underlying cause of the problem is not being addressed by Hyundai.

Lost acceleration while driving on the freeway and car started shaking with Check Engine light on. Took the car to the dealer for diagnostic and was informed that #4 injector failed causing the engine to misfire. This was the 3rd fuel injector failing in 5 months. Per my service advisor, Hyundai released an updated TSB (25-FL-001H) in January 2025 with a 4 new fuel injector replacement kit. Unfortunately, this injector kit was so new that I had to drive a service rental car for a week waiting for the kit to arrive. Let's see if these new fuel injectors will last longer than the old ones.

The fuel injection system has failed 3 times now causing the car to become slow/sluggish while driving (sudden slow down and lurching). This is a known issue with the car per [XXX] . Each time, the dealer has stated it's a known issue that's not covered by warranty or recall. Each time, the technician has stated that they are unsure why it hasn't been recalled given the prevalence of the issue and the risk of causing an accident.

Nov 2024 Crash

This 2022 Hyundai Tucson stalled in the middle of a busy highway with my wife in the vehicle. The car suddenyly stalled while going 75mph and she was almost killed and got rear ended. Later we were informed by the dealership that there is a inherent issue with the fuel injection system on these vehicles and the fuel injector has gone bad. These people only replaced the faulty injector. Two months back another injector went bad and then i researched and found this is a bad engineering issue. Now Hyundai is trying to hide behind the veil of Texas Leamon law and is not taking any responsibility or buying back the vehicle. Hyundai forums are full of this problem and many people avoided near death experience because of the stall. I can provide reditt and hyundai forum urls for reference if required.

2 months ago our engine control system warning light came on with a great decrease in speed while driving on the freeway. Brought to Hyundai dealership and was determined that fuel injector 1 misfired and needed replacement. Just last week exact same issue in fuel injector 4 occurred. They admitted issues with 2022 Tuscon injectors but won’t replace until they fail as no recall. This is a massive safety issue as can be driving at a high rate of speed and speed slows immediately.
