2022 Hyundai Tucson Plug-In Hybrid Problems

I am very distracted with this NEW car. This is the second time this has happened to my brand new Hyundai Tucson PHEV 2022. I was reversing on a slope, I changed gears to Drive, and then suddenly my car got stuck and stayed on neutral for no reason. Can’t turn off the car, or even change gears anymore. This is terrible! Please fix my issue Hyundai! The first time this happened was 3 months after I got my car when I was camping and I had to have it towed to the dealership. The Hyundai team said there was nothing wrong and said it wouldn’t happen again. This is the second occurrence now within owning this new car and it hasn’t even been a year yet! This is not safe and on top of everything I ended up blocking up an entire street because the car could not be moved. Not only did I have to spend my time but also my money dealing with these issues. Now I have to deal without a car and I dont feel safe going anywhere with this car. i need this to be fixed asap. it is my new car and i shouldnt have to deal with this type of stress. Please help me in getting these issues resolved. I do not feel safe going anywhere with until I know that this won’t happen again. I am well within the power train warranty and well within basic warranty of my car.

Roadside assistance was called to tow vehicle to dealership, where once again no loaner cars were available. The vehicle has exhibited lack of power on several occasions as well. specifically when going up a graded road. on one occasion vehicle would not go over 10mph. The fact that the vehicle died in the middle of the road while under operation is a huge safety concern as if i were on a freeway or expressway and it just stopped it could have been catastrophic. please look into this issue before someone gets seriously hurt.

While accelerating on an on ramp leading to the interstate, the 2022 Hyundai Tucson PHEV Limited was in the Smart Drive Mode and the vehicle was in Electric Mode only being powered by the electric motor. I noticed that the vehicle was struggling to accelerate to the interstate speed of 70 MPH, I pressed the accelerator further in order to gain more speed to safely merge onto the interstate. With the accelerator pushed all the way, the engine eventually turned on after 5-7 seconds assisting the vehicle to reach the speed of 70 MPH. Once on the interstate, I set the cruise control to 70 MPH but the vehicle was not able to maintain that speed. The speed of the Tucson started to drop suddenly and I then began to make my way to the right shoulder of the interstate. During the process of moving to the right shoulder, I did notice that the Power Gauge on the instrument cluster was maxed out, the vehicles engine was running at at very high revs, but I was never able to get more speed out of the vehicle. The vehicle was slowed to 40-45 MPH by the time I was able to reach the shoulder due to traffic. Once on the shoulder and out of the 3 lane, 70 MPH traffic, I was able to power down the vehicle and restart the vehicle with no issues. I then put the vehicle in drive and signaled to the left in order to merge back into traffic. I accelerated briskly to merge with the 70 MPH traffic and the vehicle did operate as normal. The vehicle began to move under EV power and the engine did turn on to begin assisting in moving the vehicle up to speed. The vehicle operated normally for the remainder of my drive, approximately 3-4 miles. During this event, the vehicle never did display any warning lights or messages on the instrument panel or the center screen. No warning tones or chimes were given either. The high voltage battery was at an approximately 68% state of charge and the fuel tank was approximately half full.
