What Tucson owners report across recent generations
Owner summary2022–present (4th generation, NX4)
Fuel injectors. That’s the most common complaint on the 2022, coming up in about a third of NHTSA reports, where owners describe injector fault codes and rough running along with check engine lights and stalls, sometimes after repeat dealer visits. CarComplaints has only about a dozen reports for the 2022. A no start leads them, followed by a windshield that cracked without impact and a car that died while driving. Recalls cover control unit software that could disable the headlights. Roof moldings that may detach are covered too, as are some tow hitch wiring harnesses. [1] [2]
2016–2021 (3rd generation, TL)
Of the TL years, the 2016 draws the most complaints. Its 7-speed dual clutch transmission could refuse to move after a stop, CarComplaints explains, and a 2016 recall addressed that for certain driving conditions and high temperatures. Owners writing to NHTSA also mention hesitation and stalling. Some describe failing door latches and lock actuators that leave doors unable to open. One owner cites a repair quote of over a thousand dollars per door. A separate recall covers an ABS control unit on 2016–2021 models that could short circuit and cause an engine compartment fire.

2010–2015 (2nd generation, LM)
Engine failure is the big worry here. For the 2013, engine is the largest NHTSA category, and owners describe rod knock from worn connecting rod bearings, plus stalling and complete engine failure. A recall covers oil pans on 2011–2013 models that may leak enough to damage the engine. Over at CarComplaints, where the 2011 has a modest number of reports, poor gas mileage leads, ahead of a transmission that locks up and engine failure. [5] [6]
