Owner report 11468011 · 2022-06-07 (June 7, 2022)
I purchased a 2022 Tucson Hybrid on Friday 5/27. I purchased the insurance package as well as the Tommy Car protection. On Wednesday 6/1 it got stuck in neutral, thankfully in my driveway. I tried to put it in reverse, but it instead went into neutral. I couldn't get the emergency brake to engage at first and my car was rolling down my driveway, which leads to a lake. I can't even imagine what could have happened to myself or my four year old daughter who was in her car seat. I honestly didn't even trust the emergency brake. I am scared to ever…

With the accelerator pushed all the way, the engine eventually turned on after 5-7 seconds assisting the vehicle to reach the speed of 70 MPH. Once on the i…

I am very distracted with this NEW car. This is the second time this has happened to my brand new Hyundai Tucson PHEV 2022.

Please fix my issue Hyundai! The first time this happened was 3 months after I got my car when I was camping and I had to have it towed to the dealership. The Hyundai team said there was nothing wrong and said it wouldn’t …
