My automatic seat recliner is stuck and hasn-??t worked for quiet sometime now. Also The motor stopped working as I was driving home, So I took it to a mechanic to assess the situation and was told the motor was the issue
The headlight and taillight/break lights burn out constantly. Turns out taillights are melting in socket. My car is not uniquely affected. Many are having same problems. Suddenly losing lights while driving on freezing dark roads. Incredibly unsafe. Not isolated to my car. Very dangerous. The company should replace these sockets and reimburse for the bulbs which have been replaced approximately 6 times in 12 m.
While driving my car normally 9 dashboard lights came on suddenly including the check engine, ABS, brakes while at the same time the dials on the dashboard including the rpms, speedometer, oil temperature and more all stopped working. This happened suddenly while the car was in drive and also caused issues with the transmission as the car stopped shifting gears properly and was driving very rough. With this sudden onset of many different issues out of nowhere driving the vehicle was very dangerous when trying to get to a safe location. After parking this electrical issue would not allow me to take the car out of park or use a OBD reader do to the electrical issue. After researching this problem I found several reports online describing nearly identical symptoms all of the sudden resulting in the car being undrivable and in a dangerous state. These owners said they took the cars to the dealer who tried replacing several components without fixing the issue with hours of diagnosis charges. Eventually after having the vehicles for several days they replaced the reverse camera which it turns out was shorting a significant amount of other critical car electrical components. With no prior damage to the camera or these electrical components the abrupt and random onset of this issue pose a significant safety risk to Hyundai Tucson drivers (at least in 2016 -2018 models). My experience with the Hyundai Dealership was very similar to them even after I had diagnosed the issue to the camera the dealer said they had contacted the manufacturing engineers who took several days to determine what was causing these electrical issues. This is not an isolated issue as multiple hyundai tucson owners have reported this to Hyundai and their dealerships yet they fail to recognize the risks associated with the faulty cameras they install in their factories. They need to recall their vehicles prone to having this issue. This has cost me $1000 to fix and put me at risk on the road

Warning light on dashboard board goes on and off constantly indicating rear brake light needs attention. When warning light is on, brake light does not work. When warning light turns off, brake light works. This happens when car is on and constantly at random times even when I'm stationary. Also, when I'm stopped, car tugs like it wants to accelerate.
The contact owns a 2018 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that several warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel, including the check engine, oil and tire pressure warning lights. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I was made aware of the recall on certain Hyundai Tucson's 4 months after the recall was originally published in September 2020. I was also not made aware from Hyundai, but from carfax via email. When I researched the next steps and made an appointment to have the issue remedied. I received a text the evening before my appointment that there is not a remedy for this recall yet.
Ongoing issues with the engine transimission. After 3 dealership visits, problem was duplicated at bob mayberry Hyundai-monroe, nc. We were told this was a known problem and "fix/part" was coming in March/April 2020. I was never contacted. Continued to drive the car until finally got fed up with the same issue. I went to other dealership (keffer Hyundai-charlotte, nc.). was told they had to replicate but tech could not. (repair invoice states they drove the car 1 mile!) (the dealership was told this was an intermitent problem). The problem is when driving very slow in stop & go traffic, the car jumps similar to someone learning to drive a stick shift and have problems with the clutch. I was at a stop sign one day...at a complete stop. I proceeded to move forward and the car stopped about 3 feet after moving. Had I pulled out if there was alot of traffic, I would not have had time to move in the road. I do not have all invoices from first dealership (bob mayberry Hyundai-monroe, nc), but they will have everything in their system. I can request this documentation if needed.
Hello everyone, 2018 Hyundai tuscon problem: Engine/air bag cause: Unknown * after a collision with 2 large deer on a main highway early morning, immediately brought it to a shop. The body work was finished and I had the car back, unfortunately after that my engine was very very sluggish. Irregular shifting, slight ticking in engine block, no later I had issues with battery light coming on ( the car shut off) while I'm motion on main road. Needless to say the dealership says that it's a total loss, this 2 year old vehicle with less than 50,000 miles had a blown engine due to unknown causes. I need some explaining from someone why this happened to multiple owners.
A month ago my engine light stayed on and dealer said rodents had eaten electrical wires and insulation under the hood cost over $600. To fix. Today same thing and I opened the hood to find the entire engine area littered with chewed wires and insulation. The soy based wiring coating needs a safety recall,
After acquiring a little over a month (1167 miles on it) this car failed while I was driving on a major highway and had to navigate over 4 lanes from just momentum - could not use my cellphone as it was trying to sync to the car which was now completely dead. Towed to purchasing dealer and was diagnosed as bad ground wire. I am terrified to drive this car again, my passenger and I could have been injured or worse.
