2022 Hyundai Tucson Electrical Problems

Your car's battery completely drains if you don't drive it for more than 4 days, leaving the vehicle with no power. This has happened multiple times over the past year, and despite multiple visits to the dealer for computer diagnostics and battery resets, the cause hasn't been identified. Hyundai's only suggestion was to drive the car for 30 minutes every other day, which isn't a real solution for a vehicle that should hold a charge during normal storage. The underlying electrical drain issue remains undiagnosed and could potentially occur while driving.

Your engine is misfiring during acceleration (it wobbles and feels rough), which has happened three times since July. You're also experiencing a parasitic battery drain that prevents your key fob from opening the car. The dealership initially blamed bad fuel but later confirmed the fuel is within normal limits, and they've refused to perform a full diagnostic on your engine and electrical system despite your repeated requests.

Your touchscreen is unresponsive to touch in most areas, only working in one small corner. When the car gets hot, the screen beeps and randomly enters the settings menu, changes settings, and switches away from navigation apps on its own without being touched — a serious distraction while driving. You've reported this to the dealership multiple times, tried hard and soft resets, but the problem persists. The dealership may need to replace the touchscreen unit or update its software, though you haven't received those updates despite multiple service visits.

Brake lights, hazard lights, and turn signals in the back of the car stopped working. Took vehicle into Glenbrook Hyundai dealer in Fort Wayne, Indiana and the dealer confirmed the problem is caused by the open safety recall. No remedy exists yet, so dealer charged me diagnostic fees for recall-related work.

The contact owned a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the contact's neighbor knocked on the contact's residential door and informed the contact that the contact's vehicle was on fire. The contact stated that when she went outside, the contact noticed that the entire front of the vehicle was on fire. The fire department was called, and the fire department extinguished the fire. A fire report was filed. The contact stated that the vehicle was burned all the way to the rear seat of the vehicle. The fire burned another vehicle that was parked in the contractor's yard. In addition, the contact stated that the fire burned a good portion of the contact's residential yard. The vehicle was towed to a local tow yard. The vehicle was condemned a total loss by the insurance company. The fire inspector informed the contact that the fire started in the engine near the battery. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 76,500.

The horn stopped working. This is a huge safety concern. In a busy intersection unable to warn other drivers not paying attention to the road since horn does not work. This started few days prior with only high tone working, but not low tone (which is very hard to hear from other vehicles since not very loud), then after couple of days no horn at all. Looking online this seems to be a known issue with multiple hyundai cars (venue, tucson, santa fe, elantra etc) and some of them apparently had had to get their horns replaced multiple times since they keep being replaced with defective horn units, yet it is for some reason not a recall yet. Could you please investigate into this? I think there should be a recall for defective horn units. Huge safety concern, accidents could be prevented by fixing this

Both horns needed to be replaced three times due to both stopped working and I listed the dates below. First time replacement: 4-6-24, Second time replacement: 10-9-24, Third time replacement: 1-16-25. Now on 9-26-25 both horns stopped worknig again, I checked the horn fuse and that is good. I now need to call the dealer to have both horns replaced for the fourth time. I also contacted Hyundai's national customer service to log a complaint as well. To me this is a safty issue since the horn is used to possible prevent an accident. I check the horns when I drive the car since they go bad so often and I have under 28,000 miles on the vehicle.

While driving, without warning, all malfunction lights came on the dashboard and stayed on, including check engine light. The speedometer and rpm show as zero even though I’m moving. The power steering locks up. Scary as hell! This has happened 5+ separate times within the past 2 months. The first time I had it towed to the dealer and they said it was caused by a Karr alarm that was pre-installed by the dealer prior to my new purchase which I never authorized and was never activated. They said it was causing a short even though it happened 2+ years after purchase. It was removed by the dealer for free and the electrical issue happened again the next day while driving. It was towed to the dealer again and after a week the car was returned to me with no diagnosis as they were unable to replicate. It happened 2-3 more times and I got it towed to the dealer for a third time as I don’t feel safe driving this car at all. I am scared the car will die while on the highway. Car still at dealer.

While driving on highway going 65 MPH my car 22 Hyundai Tucson SEL dashboard lights turned red and shut off on the highway with no warning, was not able to put in park for 10 minutes. My safety was put at risk, the vehicle stopped mid drive on the highway with other vehicles. Dealership has not fixed or looked at the issue.

Safety issue having to replace multiple horns on the vehicle. Known issue from Hyundai America. Would like an investigation, maybe a recall.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? > While driving, the following systems fail and become inoperable sporadically: blind-spot safety system, tire pressure monitoring system, smart cruise control system, lane following assist system, speed limit warning system, shifter system malfunction, infotainment system, HVAC controls and turn signals. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? > I lose access to all safety systems and am unable to see anything on my dashboard while every single light flashes on the dash. Being unable to utilize my turn signals is dangerous because I must restart the vehicle for the issue to be resolved. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? > The problems were confirmed - but NOT reproduced by the Hyundai certified service center. They stated that they can see logs of the issues and were unable to diagnose the specific failures without the warning lights being actively present. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? > Yes. It was sold to me as a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle directly from a Hyundai dealership. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? > The warnings and failures appeared at 64,752 miles, which is less than 5,000 miles after the warranty coverage ended. I purchased the vehicle with 64,300 miles. The issues began less than 500 miles after purchase.

Had the oil changed at the 36k mark. Since then some weird electrical issues are happening. Bluetooth nor android auto will play a song more than 2 minutes before starting again. The screen is harder to "touch" for anything. If I turn my blinker on or use any control on steering wheel as well as roll down the window, the electrical will "flash" and again song starts all over. My husband went out to garage last night and opened the garage door to go to his truck and did not have the key to my Tucson on him. He opened the garage door and the hatch to the Hyundai started opening as well. Taking into the dealer on Tuesday, they state no recalls on any electrical issues, though I see it throughout multiple platforms online.

Purchased a brand new 2022 tucson. Within 2 months it went to the dealer with about 7 dash fault lights turning on (abs, Air bag, lane assist, check engine, just to name a few) and breaks engage on their own. Stayed at the dealership for over 2 months while they had the Hyundai engineers try to figure out the issue. They gave it back to me and said it was a connector in the rear door. The vehicle has been back 4 times for the same exact issues for months at a time and they keep experimenting and giving it back to me. I tried to get it exchanged for a safer one and they denied my request. I guess my families safety isn't that important to hyundai after all.

The backup camera turns off without warning. Suv is low miles. Hyundai has a recall for this on other models. I'd like to see it extend over to the Tucson also.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle intermittently went into LIMP Mode with several unknown messages displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the failure occurred for approximately 15-20 seconds before the vehicle resumed normal operation. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.

Check engine light and error message popped up on screen "A possible condition with your Engine Control System has been detected. A full system check is recommended to be done when convenient. Please contact your local dealership to schedule an appointment." Roughly 46500 miles. Contacted BlueLink and they could not help because dealerships were already closed.

The Apple Car Play goes on and off at random. It works perfectly about 70% of the time, then will not work for no apparent reason. While trying to get it reconnected, the Seat Heater on the driver's side would come on. This has happened many times so I want to mention it in case it's connected. I don't think I've accidentally engaged it that many times. It poses a risk because it takes my attention away from driving and could cause me to run into the car in front of me. I'll be taking it to the dealership in 3 weeks. There were no warning lamps or messages.

I was driving and came to a stop to make a right turn. I put on the turn signal and nothing happened. I drove to where I could pull over and I tried the flashers and they worked so I turned the car off. I then turn on the car and still no turn signals inside and outside. I drove to where I was going and we ate supper. When I came back about 1 1/2 hours, I turned on the car and tried the turn signals and there worked. It's been almost a week and it hasn't happened again.

I had my gps on and it completely stopped working sending me in circles and the voice directing completely stopped. Very dangerous it had me making U-turns at dangerous intersections. I stopped several times put address in again. This has happened several times and it is very dangerous. Also this address is a known gps address not some obscure destination ´ Next twice I have pushed the start button with my foot on the brake and the car would not start. Third try it started.

I was coming back from the mall on the highway doing 50mph and my truck started losing power which it has done before but this time the emergency brake came on and my truck stopped in the middle of the highway on a Saturday. Thank God no one was following me close because that would have caused a bad accident. And also sometimes after I stop at a light or stop sign my brakes harden and I can’t press them down if that makes since and all my needles move back and fourth while the engine is making a noise but the car is still in drive but will not move. I have to hit the button to turn the car off and restart it and this has happened to me 3 times already. This is very frustrating and scary

Ignition coil failure while driving. Loss of power, jerking performance, almost to point of stalling. No check engine lights until failure. Confirmed with scanner what computer was registering. I’ve seen other posts online of this happening.

Turn signals are not working.

My wife was with my Aunt and driving at 70mph on PGBT highway and instant the check engine light come on and the car started smelling of burnt equipment and stalled. The cabin was filled with white smoke and the windows jammed as well. The car was stalled in the middle of the highway with traffic zooming past and severing to save us. This car put my family is a life threatening situation and I want that to be recorded. We use this vehicle for our family trips and it haunts me to think what it can do to my wife and kids. I have started a formal complaint with Hyundai corporate and the complaint number is [XXX]. Also the car is with Hyundai Dealership at Address: 1301 N Central Expy, McKinney, TX 75070 (469) 525-4300) and I am yet to receive a diagnosis from them on what actually happened to the vehicle. Cops were called at the scene but a formal police report was not given. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have a lot of questions. I bought the best trim car for safety, but as a result, nothing worked. The damage to my family caused by this was a lot of damage mentally and physically, and it took a lot of time for these results to come out. That ended my view of Hyundai/Kia as a Korean American living in the U.S. I will never repurchase a Korean car. I suspect a sudden acceleration. I decided to report to NHTSA/BBB/Hyundai Motor America/FTC.

Since I received my car, within a few couple of months I have noticed that the car would jump forward when changing the RPMs/gears. When I had brought it in for an oil change, I had mentioned it to the service tech and they told me they would run a diagnostic to see if anything would pop up but the likelihood hood it wouldn't show anything. The second time I mentioned it again while I was driving, the car would accelerate faster than normal as though it was on Sports Mode even though it wasn't, and then the car/engine would jump or make the car lunge forward as it was slowing down. They said they would look into it again but nothing was found. a few months later I was driving home on the freeway when my car jumped again, the engine turned off and I was in the middle of the freeway not being able to accelerate but take the speed I was going to move over to the emergency side in order not to get hit by another car. I got it towed into the dealership, they said they would get back to me after a few days and once they found out what happened, they had my car for about 2 weeks. They also wanted me to pay for a fuel system flush and returned the car to me on empty gas which was full when I brought it in. The back passenger window wasn't working either and I had brought that up to their attention saying if I were to bring it back in I would need to pay for a diagnostic to get it fixed. I was upset and brought it into another dealership to get fixed and mentioned again about the car jumping and afraid that I would be left on the side of the road or the engine would turn off again. They couldn't do anything without an engine light to be turned on. I'm afraid of driving my car but why am I paying for something that the dealership cannot fix or know that whatever they did wasn't fixing the problem? I have brought in my car time and time again to get seen or fixed before the major issue happened and now electrical parts of the car are faulty with things turning off randomly.

Vehicle would not accelerate leaving driveway. Was bucking as I went down the street. At end of street when I tried to turn off it stopped as I accelerated and I was almost rear ended. I pulled over there were no warning lights on at all. I pulled out as I wanted to turn around and go home and it would not accelerate again. I was able to make it home. I looked up problem on line and it seems like I am not alone. As it is Sunday going to call dealer tomorrow but not expecting them to take it in soon as most appointments take over 1 month to get. I am very scared to drive my car.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the rough road ahead message was displayed instead of the tachometer. Additionally, the contact stated that there was constant beeping coming from the instrument panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 11,600.

Sound stopped working. No warning just stopped no alarms/alerts. First time was August 14th, 2023 less than 5000 miles. Looked up seems problem has been acknowledged but no recall. Had to reset battery for system to rest. Fuse is problematic per reports. Must happen 3 times for dealer to replace.

My signals completely stopped working. Cameras are not showing from either side mirror either. Tried turning off and turning on the car and it still does not come back on.

All electrical systems proceeded to malfunction with the check engine and driver safety system warnings blaring. Vehicle proceeded to accelerate from 10-40 mph on its own for approximately 400 meters on the freeway. Vehicle brake and acceleration system did not respond to any driver input for approximately the entire length. Vehicle then proceeded to respond normally temporarily allowing us to pull over to a nearby parking lot and engage the emergency parking brake and out the gear into park. Transmission gear indicator then proceeded to switch randomly from Drive to neutral to park and repeating with infotainment system glitching. After engine was shut off and given time it was restarted and vehicle operated normally. Vehicle is currently under diagnosis with service center (Huffines Hyundai McKinney).

This is the 2-3 time that the sound of my radio and safety features does not work. There is no sound at all! If the sounds of the safety features are Not working, I feel extremely unsafe driving this car!!!!

Horn failed to work at a critical moment while operating motor vehicle.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the “Forward Collision Avoidance” feature limited and Radar Blocked messages were displayed. On two separate occasions, the vehicle independently decelerated while depressing the accelerator pedal to override the defect. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer however, the mechanic could not duplicate the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

Infotainment center shut down or went black & would not come back. This controls radio, satellite radio, Apple car play, Bluetooth connected features, hands free mobile phone connection, and backup camera. Dealership after nearly a month of repairs found shorts in radio and amp and replaced both per warranty.

No audio from all speakers. This issue is recurring and requires the vehicle to be brought to the service department for repairs. There is a Hyundai technical service bulletin issued #22-be-008h. I have experienced two incidents since purchasing the vehicle. I only have 1931 miles on the vehicle. Each incident I have waited over 2 weeks to have the vehicle looked at and diagnosed. I am now waiting on a part (external amplifier) that is on back order. Without sound none of the safety warning features that are relayed through the speakers are available to me while driving.

The contact owns a 2022 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving from a stationary position the vehicle switched to safe mode and suddenly decelerated, and would not accelerate above 20 - 27 MPH. During the failure, the message "Limited to 20 MPH" was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on multiple occasions but the failure could not be duplicated. No further information was available. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 1,500.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Since February of this year, a few weeks after I purchased this car the center console has to be replaced...it is on order to be replaced since April due to rear camera malfunction (Hyundai of Bowie, submitted BBB complaint). A few weeks ago the emergency brake initiates randomly. And yesterday the Engine light is on. Yes available upon request How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? I'm unable to see cars or people when in reverse. While taking off from a parked position, the emergency brake comes on and can cause me to crash or stop suddenly forcing someone to crash into the back of me. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, took the truck for repair back in April, still unresolved (center console), no response from them after they supposedly ordered the replacement part. The emergency brake issue just started. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NO Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Yes, the rear camera would show previous images on the camera or green screen with lines. When the emergency brake comes on without being initiated by me, other lights come on as well. Now (10/24/22) the engine light is on!

I purchased the vehicle 3/31/2022, & it left with recalls. I brought it BacK with 48hr, as the check engine light turn on, also the tires, dashboard, and overall the screen. Its been left at the dealer and no results. Also it has affected my life as a disabled handicap person as I'm unable to get to and from doctor appointment etc including to transport my scooter or wheel chair. its a nightmare. I came to purchase a car and was given a "lemon". with only 12miles purchased. I was directed by finance department to proceed with this matter for a resolution as we resolve this matter. The vehicle has been a problematic problem from the start. Definitely not standing firm on the customer Hyundai core value & warranty. The car is at the dealer and I'm temporally with a loaner on which I need to know all my option before we proceed. This is a very serious matter on which Hyundai is fully aware & infant they directed me to this process. My life was at risk as I was told to keep a car that is unreliable with a donut tire without repair. I felt as if I could've die if something was to happen to me within a week until service still count fix the tires as I was placed in jeopardy of my life & kids during Labor Day weekend.. Driving an unsafe vehicle. I was in concern since day 1!
