Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I’ve experienced repeated electrical and mechanical issues with my 2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid. These include full battery drainage without engine activation (leaving me stranded), multiple warning lights, and recently a heater failure that remains unresolved. I’ve had over 8 service visits in two years, and Hyundai has not responded to my formal letter. A detailed timeline is available if needed.”

NHTSA complaint #11700602, filed 2025-11

“While driving, my vehicle suddenly lost all power and didn't respond to the accelerator. The check engine and hybrid system failure lights came on, jeopardizing my safety and that of other road users. The car overheats significantly, to the extent that the air conditioning only blows hot air. This situation forced me to pull over on the highway shoulder, creating an additional risk for everyone involved in traffic.”

NHTSA complaint #11581051, filed 2024-04

“The check hybrid system light came on just after I tried to accelerate from a complete stop and I had no acceleration. I had the accelerator pushed to the floor and I got no response and was not able to accelerate two different times within 5 minutes of one another. I was in traffic unable to accelerate. I took it to the dealer and they were unable to find anything wrong and told me to bring it back if it happened again.”

NHTSA complaint #11615093, filed 2024-09

“The car slowed down so I tried stepping on the gas pedal and noticed it wasn’t working, then I tried stepping on the brake pedal and it didn’t work neither. The car slowed down and called it to get towed.”

NHTSA complaint #11517518, filed 2023-04

“05/11/2023 Driving on Highway (Work Zone) Dash Flashed Hybrid System Failure - I was in the fast lane with Tractor trailer in front ,behind ,and alongside me - Gas pedal stopped working at that point nothing worked - managed to coast to the shoulder (could have been killed) Had it towed to Hyundai - They checked the computer and said nothing was wrong . that means if we were killed - Hyundai would be off the hook and they would say human error because they said no faults were stored and the codes were clear”
