    "Does not always connect, often takes multiple attempts. Problems with switching phones (users). Does not always connect smoothly to phones GPS or looses connection"

    Anonymous, FL (2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid SEL 1.6-L 4 Cyl hybrid)

    ""I do not recall exactly when the problem started, but it was within the first year of ownership. I do not have in car navigation and rely on CarPlay for maps. The map would often disappear and would not reconnect despite all of the settings being correct. Then the it would randomly and repeatedly call people from my phone list. It got so bad that I had to pull off the road on several occasions. I also bought a standalone GPS device as I was driving for work. The problem got better after a major update that required leaving the car at the dealer for 4 hours. However the map still disappears on occasion and I had an isolated issue with the phone calls about a month ago.""

    "Engine light came on; had auto shop then dealer pull code, diagnosed as EGR valve failure. 1000 miles out of waranty. Dealer contacted Hyundai corporate- covered 50% of $1500 cost to replace"

    Anonymous, NH (2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Blue 1.6-L 4 Cyl hybrid)

    "A related issue with the dipstick popping up from pressure was the beginning. It happened within the first 20,000 miles I had the car. It would pop open and I would get the same warning and have no ability to accelerate. Then, the problem started again and this time I could not just check a dipstick being inserted all the way or turn the car off for a few minutes to reset it. I took it to a dealer 500 miles from home and was told the EGR valve failed and wiring harness melted into the valve preventing the car from being able to be driven at all. It happened at 61000 miles and Hyundai refused warranty claim under 100,000 mile powertrain saying it was an exhaust system issue. What made it all worse was Inver Grove Hyundai in Minnesota charging me 350% markup on parts and the maximum labor hours in the book for a nearly $2,850.00 out of pocket, not covered under warranty OR extended warranty. I've owned 4 Hyundai's prior to this one. It will be the last one I own and I will never recommend Hyundai and Hyundai Hybrid cars to anyone who asks me."

    What Owners Say

    A/C compressor

    "I brought my Tucson to the Hyundai dealer to look at my car. They told me it was only an AC leak. I had to wait 3 weeks for the parts to come in. They installed the o rings and said it was fixed. I drove off the lot and drove for about 5 minutes and no cold air. I brought the car back, and told them it was not working. The tech took my car in and said the compressor is not working. I waited 4 weeks for the parts to come in and when they did the repair. They did not install the EGR gasket, so I will be going back for a third time to get my air conditioning fixed."

    Anonymous, MB (2022 Hyundai Tucson Hybrid Limited 1.6-L 4 Cyl hybrid)

    ""The A/C system does not work correctly as it does not come even close to the temperature I set in my vehicle. In addition, it will not hold any temperature I set in my vehicle.
