2025 Hyundai Tucson

The emergency braking system slams on brakes prematurely when the car in front of me is 4 or more car lengths ahead which is causing the cars behind me to swerve to avoid rear ending me. the safety of the emergency braking is making the car more dangerous to me and other motorists.

I leased a brand new 2025 hyundai tucson on march 15, 2025, with fewer than 10 miles on the odometer. shortly after driving an additional 10 miles, the vehicle’s screen malfunctioned, displaying burn-in and becoming non-functional. this issue significantly affects safety, as it renders the backup camera unusable during operation. the vehicle was first brought in for service on march 17, 2025, but the issue was not resolved. subsequent service attempts were made on march 20, april 9, and most recently on april 11, 2025. as of today, the problem remains unresolved. the vehicle has been in the service center for approximately 15 days since the date of purchase. in addition to the defective screen, the vehicle failed to start on one occasion, leaving me stranded alone in a parking lot, stuck in accessory mode with the brake locked. the car has also exhibited alignment issues, consistently pulling to the left while driving, which has required two alignments since the purchase date.

Multiple owners of the 2025 tucson hybrid limited awd have reported the same issue with the vehicle's "driver assistance warning" system. the system constantly beeps and, sometimes, takes control of the vehicle, slowing it down, and forcing the driver to pull over. this happened to my wife and me on our recent roundtrip from apache junction, az, to los angeles. in the middle of jam-packed, six-lane freeways with vehicles traveling at 70 mph or more the tucson would beep-beep-beep and say "keep your eyes on the road." but, of course, the driver's eyes were on the road. then the system would take control and slow the car down to 30 mph or so, creating a terrifying and highly dangerous situation. and this is supposed to be a safey sytem. the system obviously was not properly tested in real-life road situations. apparently, the height of the driver's eyes, their arm position while holding the wheel, whether they're wearing sunglasses . . . all sorts of factors seem to confuse the system and cause it to act when it should do nothing. i have turned off all the driver assistance warnings possible, but it makes no difference. and other drivers report having the same issues--unwarranted, dangerous reactions by the car that cannot be stopped by turning the driver assistance features off. hyundai has failed in its duty to properly test its driver assistance features. the most rudimentary road testing would have revealed these issues, but hyundai has put these vehicles on the market without the appropriate testing. someone needs to do something about it.

The driver attention warning continues to go off shutting the cruise control off. this happens continuously and is a safety issue when driving in traffic and the vehicle suddenly decelerates. this causes traffic behind you to almost reared you because the vehicle decelerates so quickly. hyundai suggests to move seat, not to wear glasses and other options that in themselves are additional safety concerns as seat positioning and glasses are needed for driving. so far my car has had the sensor located on top of the steering column shimmed up, and wiring harness replaced all to no satisfactory conclusion. hyundai is aware of the issue, but has no solution to the issue. i’ve been in a loaner for almost 2 months while they string me along looking for a solution. something needs to be done to fix this safety concern.

This vehicle has a notification "consider taking a break." it activates every 20-30 minutes, even though i am a safe driver. it is distraction to driving, whith is less safe than the warning itself. i would like for you to contact hyundai to find a way to disconnect this, for they say it can not be disabled. diosabling can be done on older models, but not newer models. i have a 2025 hyundai tuscon. it is a sfety hazard.

Forward attention warning is a system with a camera on the top of the steering wheel column that is supposed to check if the driver is looking forward when assisted driving like lane keeping is active during cruise control. this system does not work with sunglasses. wearing sunglasses to drive on a sunny day is a normal activity. if this system can not see your eyes then it assumes you are not looking forward and will try to shut off driver assistance like lane keeping and then goes another step with a threat to shut down the car no matter where the car is or how fast the car is going. i was going 70 down a highway and i get the forward attention warning and before i can do anything to convince the system i was looking ahead i got the warning that car was about to be shut down. this is the second day in a new car so i was lucky to think to turn off cruise control, but it was a scary incident that could have gone bad quickly. this is not a safe system and and needs to be able to be turned off without disabling the driver assistance features.

We purchased a brand new 2025 hyundai tucson from earnhardt hyundai north scottsdale on october 26, 2024. we brought the car home and while it was parked facing the afternoon sun, we noticed that the entire windshield was speckled with thousands or more spots that greatly reduced the visibility. it was difficult to see through the windshield. we also noticed the same defect on the other windows, however, not as bad. we contacted the dealership and subsequently brought it into their service center for inspection. they confirmed the visibility defect and ordered a new factory replacement windshield and installed it. the replacement windshield, while not perfectly clear of spots, was acceptable for safe driving. the original windshield had such poor visibility in certain conditions that it would be hard to see anything, which would be hazardous while driving. we took possession of the car after the windshield replacement was completed but still feel that the spots on the other windows are a manufacturing defect but do not necessarily create a hazard. along with employees of earnhardt dealership, we looked at other brand new 2025 hyundai vehicles of varying makes and models and observed the same windshield defect in many of the cars we looked at on their sales lot. this does not appear to be an isolated incident, but the dealership said that we were the first customers to bring it to their attention. we feel that knowing there are other cars on the road with diminished visibility that means drivers of those vehicles may not even be aware until conditions prevent them from seeing the road and their surroundings.

The 2025 hyundai tucson's adaptive cruise control (acc) system does not operate properly due to either a design flaw or a flawed implementation of the design. hyundai's integration of forward attention warning (faw) with the acc prohibits the driver from using acc while wearing sunglasses. if one is driving the vehicle with acc engaged and puts on sunglasses, the faw flashes a warning on the dashboard and disengages the acc. in order to engage cruise control the driver must interact with the onboard video display system to switch from acc to "dumb cruise". obviously the driver's attention is distracted while manipulating the selection of cruise control. the driver is also forced to compromise driving safety because they are forced to choose between wearing sunglasses and being able to use acc. use of acc enhances safety especially when driving into the sun or in low visibility situations. the incompatibility of acc with sunglasses wear then compromises safety. to make matters worse the faw options screen provides erroneous information. it indicates that the driver can turn off faw, but turning it off does not in fact turn it off. turning it off stops the faw warnings only until the driver turns on and engages acc at which time acc apparently forces faw back on and active. i took the problem to my local hyundai dealer who confirmed the problem and indicated they could not repair the problem. since i am considering a georgia lemon law claim, i asked whether i needed to bring the car back since the lemon law gives the dealer/manufacturer 3 tries to fix the problem. the dealer indicated that would be a waste of time because hyundai will not support/allow the issue to be corrected. the dealer indicated this is a known issue. an internet search also confirms that hyundai's faw + acc integration is flawed. additionally it is not clear whether other enhanced vehicle safety systems such as automatic emergency braking are compromised by the wearing of sunglasses?

I could not find an exact category check above, but this does sort of relate to cruise control. the driver attention warning cannot be disabled even though there is an option to disable it. turning it off has no affect. this is a warning that basically tells you to keep your eyes on the road. sunglasses and regular eyeglasses can often cause it to create a warning. the system will then turn off cruise control if it's being used. according to several owners, this is common on newer model hyundais and hyundai either chooses not to or simply cannot fix this. my wife has notified hyundai and is awaiting a response.

Battery issue does not resolved, had to jump-start the vehicle twice, leading to significant inconvenience as i drove nearly an hour each way to the dealership. this situation has resulted in lost work hours and has left me feeling mentally and physically exhausted. despite my efforts, i still have not received a satisfactory answer regarding the problem

Drives side headlight has a dark spot on low beam that is in the drivers field of vision. this causes the driver not to be able to see clearly. a certain portion of the drivers field of view is blocked out. please see the picture below. took it to the dealer for repair, he acknowledged the black spots were in the drivers field of view but, he compared it to another 2025 tucson with the same trim on his lot and the headlights were the same. therefore, their was nothing wrong with the lights. however, he did agree that their were black spots in the drivers field of view that would inhibit the divers ability to see clearly at night. attached is the dealership repair order.

While driving in a 70 mph speed zone on [xxx] , i tried to engage the cruise control but it would not activate. after repeated tries i finally was able to get a response and the cruise control engaged but only for about 15 seconds then warnings saying i was not paying attention to the road flashed on the windshield monitor along with check engine light, followed by vehicle slowing. i turned off the cruise control and was able to resume control of the car. this happened twice within 15 minutes so i gave up trying to use the cruise control. i wear progressive prescription transition eyeglasses which turn gray upon contact with sunlight. it was a bright sunny day when this event took place. i bought the car dec 4 2024. when i contacted the dealers service department, they said the nearest appointment was not until february and they might need the car for up to two weeks to determine the problem. i went online and found that other owners had been complaining about this since april claiming that sunglasses were a problem for the radar camera used in this system. one driver put black tape over the camera to stop the problem. one driver switched sun glass makes and was able to use the system. another driver adjusted the steering column to solve the problem, but all of these are work arounds for a defective design. you can locate these other complaints by searching "adaptive cruise control problems of hyundai tucson" complaints go beyond april 2023. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

I purchased a brand new 2025 hyundai tuscan and with 984 miles i had an issue which first started when reversing the suv into my garage. december 9th: when first starting the vehicle, all warning lights came on the dash. the abs stating an issue with the braking system. i experienced a dead pedal and no power steering. after restarting the car all the lights went off and the car returned to normal. code: dtc c165686 and dtc c162587 december 10th error: check driver assistance system while driving the vehicle which had no errors on start, the error came up again but this time power steering was available and the brake pedal appeared to be working. originally, the hyundai dealer would not be able to assist until the following week but after calling them and expressing safety concerns they immediately took the car and put me in a loaner. code: dtc c165686 and dtc c162587 it’s jan 3 2025 and the vehicle has been waiting for a replacement hybrid battery. the manufacturer told the dealership weeks ago that the error is due to a bad hybrid battery.

The “consider taking a break” message flashes and dings which startles and distracts me and is not safe while i’m driving. it does this even when i am driving safe.

On jan 5th, with odometer reading of 1747 miles, while driving on a busy highway, the car's speed decreased until the car stopped without warning. after pushing the car into a gas station to get out of harm's way, we contacted hyundai roadside assistance. the car was towed to a nearby hyundai dealership. the problem was diagnosed the next day - the car needs a new transmission. the transmission is on backorder and will not be delivered to the dealership until the middle of march. our new 2025 tuscon hybrid will be out of service for at least 10 weeks after breaking down on a major road without warning. the code is the bluelink app is p177700 -powertrain transmission

-auto start/stop "feature" since there is no way to permanently disable this feature i forgot that it was on. while stopped a stop light i was unable to move when the car behind me could not stop due to the wet roads. if the car behind me was unable to swerve in time i would have been rear-ended. by the time the engine started the car behind me was in line with my back seat. no amount of gas saving is worth being immobilized essentially in a emergency situation. - forward collision avoidance is way too sensitive, in the same trip as above a car hit their brakes approximately 6 car lengths in front of me to turn into a parking lot. the car in front of me did slam on their brakes to make the turn. as i took my foot off the gas to slow down the "safety feature" activated, applied my brakes and almost caused the car behind me to rear end me. i was going roughly 45 mph and the car behind me was roughly 2 car lengths behind me when the "safety feature" activated. the sensitivity of this system is way too high and will wind up causing more accidents then it prevents

There is a sensor on the steering column that turns off the cruise control if it can’t see your eyes. this happens abruptly and slows the car down. it will cause a rear end collision if not taken care of! has been to the dealer 5 times.is available for more inspection. there is a sensor on the steering column that turns off the cruise control if it can’t see your eyes. this happens abruptly and slows the car down. it will cause a rear end collision if not taken care of! i have more documentation from the dealers but i don’t have room to upload. yes dealers have reproduce the issue. manufacture has been notified and had us take to dealers. warning message on dash but no time to react.

I am filing a complaint regarding a serious safety malfunction in my 2025 hyundai tucson’s forward collision sensor, which caused an accident. i have owned this vehicle for only two weeks, and i believe this issue poses a risk to myself and other drivers. on february 25, 2025, while driving, the car in front of me stopped and made a u-turn. there was no imminent risk of collision, yet my tucson’s forward collision sensor erroneously activated and engaged the automatic braking system. this caused my vehicle to come to an abrupt stop, resulting in a rear-end collision. i have documented the incident, including photographs, a police report, and insurance documentation, which i can provide upon request. this malfunction is extremely concerning, as a feature designed to prevent accidents instead directly caused one. if this issue exists in other hyundai tucson vehicles, it presents a severe hazard for drivers. i urge nhtsa to investigate this as a potential safety defect, determine if other similar complaints exist, and assess whether hyundai needs to issue a recall or software fix. i also need guidance on whether there are any known remedies or if i should take my vehicle to the dealership for inspection. this issue must be addressed before it leads to more accidents. please let me know if further information is needed.

The contact owns a 2025 hyundai tucson. the contact stated while driving 15 mph and depressing the brake pedal to decelerate, an unknown warning light was illuminated and a beeping sound was engaged. the contact stated that the vehicle failed to decelerate as intended and came to a sudden stop, causing another vehicle to crash into the rear of the vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. there was no injury sustained. the contact was able to drive the vehicle away from the scene. no police report was filed. there was no property damage. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was test-driven, but the failure could not be duplicated. the dealer informed the contact that they had turned off all the sensors, except for the rearview camera sensors, to prevent the failure from reoccurring. the vehicle was diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 760.

I have had two incidents where the emergency braking system applied itself when there was no reason for it to do so. both times there was a car in the distance, over 20 feet away that was slowing, and i was slowing as well. the second time it happened, it was with great force and i was fortunate that the car behind me was able to brake in time and avoid rear ending me.

In the middle of the screen, a notification to consider taking a break pops up and is very distracting and annoying even during normal driving condition. this feature makes the car less safe because it creates a distraction, especially on long road trips. there is no way to disable or turn the notification off on the vehicle.

The "consider taking a break" alert keeps alerting me constantly. there is no way to turn if off and it is very distracting. i am concerned it could result in an accident from the constant beeping and alerts.

Regarding the forward collision warning. this system i feel is honestly scaring me and i am now turning it off whenever i start the car i was driving one day and a car abruptly stopped in front of me for a quick second but started rolling again rather quickly. i was slowing down, i saw the car stopping and before i could even react the car slammed on the breaks and completely locked the wheels up and i came sliding to a stop. it almost caused me to be rear ended which i am glad did not happen but again very close. i am also worried it may detect oncoming traffic and slam on the brakes i don’t like feeling that i’m not in control of the vehicle. this system in particular needs either disabled or looked over again
