“On a road trip while highway driving my 2019 cpo Hyundai Tucson/10800 miles, the car did this big jolt and the forward vehicle collision detection avoidance, hazard indicator & service now lights went off. The engine RPM's revved up very high continuously. When I came to a stop the car would barely go with the pedal almost floored. This made the driving thru the intersections with cars honking dangerous. When I turned the car off, it reset itself and was back to normal. …”

NHTSA complaint #11372744, filed 2020-11, 10,930 miles

“September 2019, four months after we purchased it brand new. The vehicles stopped responding to my acceleration on highway speeds when all the technology screens went out in the vehicle. While at a red light the vehicles RPM's will visually go up and down and the vehicle shutters as if it is going to turn off. It has unintended acceleration when I'm sitting at a standstill and go to accelerate the vehicle will jump so to speak once the accelerator is engaged. …”

NHTSA complaint #11375054, filed 2020-11, 24,000 miles

“I received a letter from Hyundai regarding a recall for the anti-lock brake system on Hyundai Tucson. I attempted to schedule an appointment but the only appointment available was more than a month later. I accepted that appointment because I had no choice. Now, the dealer has called me to say they don't have the part to fix the problem. Apparently this recall is a big issue and could cause engine fire if not fixed. Plus, the letter says that I should keep my vehicle parked outside until the repair is completed which leads me to believe that this thing could catch fire even with the car off! …”
