Three incidents of shifting from park to drive or reverse and car does not move in the drive or reverse. Turning PHEV car off seems to reset it. Third time car had a high pitch whine and trying to move in reverse caused a strong shudder and check engine light to come on. Diagnostic code for power train P072200. Turned car off and drove a few hours later and seemed to be back to normal. DTC cleared after a few days. Dealer unable to check for a month. Have dashcam footage of last incident.

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 get in that car again. I called Country Hyundai right away and they said I will have to get it towed through roadside assistance. I asked what am I supposed to drive? The service manager said he couldn't help me with that.The tow truck driver attempted to get my car to go into park and other gears but couldn't. My car was then towed to the closest dealer. My car didn't even go to Country Hyundai. It went to Balise. Balise Hyundai let my car sit in their lot for 2 days and the battery died. They attempted to do diagnostics after recharging my battery and said they can find no issues or warnings and the car is working again. Spoke to Hyundai corporate a case manager got back to me today 6/7 and said they can't find anything wrong so I can drive the death trap until it does it again. Then have it towed in and if it's under warranty they will attempt to repair it. I am beyond frustrated with this. I have never experienced something like this.
