The panoramic sunroof failed, shattering without any apparent impact while I was going 70mph on the interstate. Glass went everywhere. I was not near any other vehicles and the glass shattered outwards (this, according to Hyundai, is a hallmark trait of the sunroof failing without external cause -- note that they've previously had a recall for the same panoramic sunroof issue in another model car). My safety, and the safety of others, was put at risk due to the "exploding" glass, the speed at which the incident occurred, and the shock it caused me (the driver) while driving on the interstate. The problem has been confirmed by the Hyundai dealership that I bought the car from. They said they've had to repair multiple Hyundai vehicles with failing panoramic sunroofs at that dealership alone (apparently, this issue is most common in the Santa Fe model). Hyundai is covering the replacement and repair of the sunroof under the car's warranty. They stated that panoramic roofs "explode" due to pressure issues. After they told all this to me, they stated that they "think" something hit my roof, and sent me a picture of chipped glass behind the giant hole on my car's roof. Even if the sunroof failed because something hit it, it should not shatter in the way that it did (as the person driving the car at the time of the incident, there was nothing that hit the car).

I am writing this letter to formally file a complaint regarding the defective sunroof on my brand-new 2022 Hyundai Tucson Limited Edition. I am a medical frontliner and I purchased my car on July 20, 2022. Eleven (11) days after I brought the car home, the sunroof spontaneously exploded, creating a huge crack that spanned the entire width of the car. In addition to that crack, I could see small fissures in the entire back panel of the sunroof. I am grateful that I was not in the car when this happened. It was only upon stopping at a restaurant that one of my passengers, who is tall enough to see the roof of the car, noticed the damage. Upon noticing the crack, I drove the car immediately to the dealership, where I was told that they found a small dent in the roof, which indicated a point of impact. The dealership manager then told me in no uncertain terms that because of this technicality, it was my fault and that there was nothing they could do to help me. In the 11 days that I have had the car, I have not parked under any trees, nor heard any noise that would have indicated an impact of any kind. Furthermore, the supposed point of impact was hairline and we don't understand how that could result in the entire back frame had a two-inch gap crack which runs the entire width of the back roof. I was really looking forward to driving my new Hyundai hybrid. I paid the deposit and waited approximately two months to get my vehicle, and after just 11 days, this happened. I thought that Hyundai would be able to help me, but I feel that they really did not investigate or try to help beyond the initial assessment which took them less than five minutes to conclude. The bottom line is that no car that is sold to the public should have these issues, and if there are multiple complaints of the same issue, the car manufacturer should recall all units and resolve any design or manufacturing issues before releasing them from the factory for sale.

My vehicle that I finance is a 2022 Hybrid Tucson it failed at 14,596 miles I had it since November 2021 so for a good 9 months until it decided to finally malfunction. As I been driving it previously for the past month I’ve been hearing the transmission struggle a lot more everyday that I use it. I also noticed that the engine really lacks power, when I accelerate it takes a really long time for the gears to shift which has been getting worse for the past month now. Which is what I believe led up to my vehicle losing complete engine power while I was driving 30mph. I saw on my digital cluster a message saying “Check Hybrid System, Stop the car safely.” In an orange triangle, I had cars backed up close to me and I was confused as to why this was happening to my not even a year old vehicle. This is a major safety issue to me that while I’m driving anywhere my engine will go completely off and I am only to rely on 20mph on EV Mode. If I was on the freeway I could’ve gotten into an accident and with my whole family in the car. I personally feel unsafe driving, it’s my daily driver and my only way to get to work.

While on the highway my car (2022 Tucson Hybrid) lost almost all power while I was driving. I was approaching traffic and started to slow down. The battery light illuminated red and the car was jerking backing forth cutting power and juddering while I was slowing down. Being that I was still in the flow of traffic and my car wasn’t fully dead yet I tried to move out of the road but due to traffic on my right I had to make a left turn. I was still able to get up to about 15 mph, but as I was turning to get off the road all power was essentially cut allowing me to only proceed at about 2 mph. Luckily oncoming traffic was far enough away to slow down. I was practically driving like a grandma blocking two lanes of traffic. I managed to limp my car off the road and at this point a “Check Hybrid System” message was shown. My car was towed and after talking with the dealership it seems the transmission went out. My car is still currently at the dealership waiting to be repaired.

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
