Owner report 11563142 · 2024-01-02 (January 2, 2024)
I was driving home on Christmas day 2023 in my 4 month old 2024 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. An hour into my 4 hour drive my car began making a low whump whump sound. No alerts or alarms came on my display to indicate anything was wrong. The noise was off and on for a couple miles. Suddenly my emergency brakes slammed on, my dash went red and the alarms went off. No one was in front of or around me. Had someone been behind me I would have been rear-ended. This was while I was going approximately 75-80. It could have caused a massive wreck had the fr…

Owner report 11589141 · 2024-05-16 (May 16, 2024)
The Hyundai I just purchased was packaged with BOTH carpeted and rubber mats. Both were priced and charged separately on the Hyundai window sticker. The car cannot be bought without paying for both. It is well known that driving with rubber mats over carpet mats creates a serious safety hazard that will can lead to the mat slipping and the driver losing control over speed and braking. I contacted Hyundai to warn of the safety issue and request a refund for one of the mat types. They basically told me to get lost. I think a safety violation sho…

Owner report 11683774 · 2025-08-28 (August 28, 2025)
Third time SUV was parked for multiple days without being started and the main battery did not keep the charge. First time was five days and required a battery jump. Then it was 22 days, and as expected, the battery did not keep the charge and required a jump. This week it was eight days and same thing happened. I know the SUV is a hybrid but the main battery should not be run down to not be able to start the engine after a short time not being started. My brother has a 2014 Ford product hybrid and does not have any battery issues when that hyb…

Owner report 11603402 · 2024-07-19 (July 19, 2024)
While my husband was driving on the freeway and I was a passenger in the front seat, the automatic emergency braking employed while we were driving about 70MPH. We have no idea why. There was no cars breaking around us, and no reason for it. There was plenty of space between us and the car in front of us. The car behind us had to swerve to the other lane to avoid rear ending us. My husband had to grab hold of the steering wheel hard with both hands as the sudden breaking made our car swerve to the side. It was terrifying. Then about 5 seconds a…

Owner report 11619785 · 2024-10-15 (October 15, 2024)
Hesitation upon accelerating from a stopped position. When pulling out from a stop into a busy intersection the vehicle hesitates for several seconds. I have almost been broadsided when attempting to pull out onto a busier roadway. The vehicle feels as though it is stalled, then suddenly lunges. Apparently this is a known feature of the Hyundai hybrid after reading that it is the top complaint. There are no codes or warning lights that appear. I feel this is a safety issue. A car should move when you put your foot on the accelerator and not jus…
