Within only two weeks of purchase this new car would suddenly stall in the middle of the road. The computer tells you to pull over. We continued to try and get the dealer to fix this issue, they first ignored us, then they secondly tried and successfully replicated the issue. They said there is no way they can fix the issue. This dangerous stalling in the middle of the road happened numerous times. You will push the pedal all the way to the ground and it won’t go over 20mph. This is a very dangerous issue and these vehicles need to stop being sold. It is very dangerous. We have been left without our money back and without a car to drive for months. We cannot drive the Tucson as it is simply too dangerous and must be towed to go anywhere for salvage.

When driving my car at any speed it will suddenly begin to get sluggish then it becomes unresponsive to me giving it gas and starts to decelerate. When this happens suddenly warning signs on the vehicle go off stating to check the hybrid system and stop the vehicle. When this happens the car then stops functioning. I never know when it is gonna happen. I have been in the middle of heavy traffic and at high speeds stuck in the middle of the road. I have brought it in now four times to different dealerships and contacted corporate and No one can find a problem. I have pictures of the warning signs going off, all I am being told is we don’t find anything wrong when they run their test or try to reproduce the issue, so they can’t help me. This is a very serious and dangerous situation to be driving a car that has and will stall at any given time.

On three separate occasions the vehicle refused to accelerate after being in a stop and go mode (I.e. traffic/drive thru). All three times an alert popped up on the dashboard stating: HEV Check Hybrid System Stop Safely. The second time this occurred a diagnostic code came up: DTCP112000. In all three occasions turning the car off and restarting resolved the issue at least temporarily. Also- the battery was completely depleted after each incident. Vehicle is at the dealership service center for the second time without and current diagnosis or solution.

I have a 2022 Hyundai Blue Tucson Hybrid which I bought last year late July, early August, 2021. I have encountered a safety issue that occurred three times in a course of one month in April, 2022. When I am driving, I will get a message, "Check Hybrid System, Stop the car safely," in the middle of the freeway. The car will lose power prior to getting the message and trying to merge to the right on a freeway when everyone is driving fast is quiet the safety challenge. Once I pull over on the side of the freeway for few minutes, I can start the car again and keep going as if nothing happened. Each time it happened, it was unpredictable. My biggest discontentment, fear, and worry is when I took the car to the dealership (Tuttle Click in Irvine, California), they kept it there for almost a week and said that there is nothing they can do about it since they took it on a test drive and there was no problem. I even showed them the picture that I took of the error message but to no avail. They recommended calling Hyundai corporation and open a case, which I did but nothing has been done with Hyundai for now one month. They did ask me (Hyundai) what is that I seek because of this problem, and I told them either a buy back, or a replacement. They continue to drag me on and I do NOT feel safe driving my car. Here is my case number with Hyundai: [XXX] Thank you for your time, concern, and consideration in this urgent matter. It is greatly appreciated and I hope to hear from you soon so that I may get this urgent issue resolved. Sincerely, [XXX] Orange County, California [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

The backup alarm sound is unreasonably loud. I understand that it's a Hybrid Vehicle and can be quiet but very few ICE vehicle are as loud as the backup sound on my vehicle. One impact of the loud sound is that I find myself rushing to backup just to be able to get my vehicle out of reverse so that alarm can shut off. This is especially true when I'm in trying to avoid noise. This can be backing into my own driveway if I come home late at night so not to wake the family or neighbors. Neighbors have also complained that the sound is as if a semi truck is backing up. This requirement is insane and makes an EV significantly louder than a regular vehicle which makes more of a regular sound and isn't as annoying as a beeping sound. The loud sound is a safety concern because what I'm doing (rushing in reverse) to avoid the vehicle from making the noise is not a safe practice.
