2025 Hyundai Tucson Complaints

Two instances of the center screen malfunctioning. One was an intermittent blip of the screen turning black and then turning back on while driving. Additionally, during this same instance of the intermittent blip of the screen turning off for about 3 seconds, my headlights which are set to auto also turned off while I was driving at night and then blipped back on when the screen came back at the same time. Second instance, the center screen was black and never came on when the car was initially turned on and the screen remained black for the entirety of my drive until the car was fully turned off and then back on. Yes, this is available for inspection upon request. Safety was put at risk by losing headlight visibility at night highly increasing the chances of an accident as well as losing important carplay navigational directions on center screen. Problem has been reproduced as these issues both occurred within one week (the week of August 16-23, 2026). The vehicle has not been inspect...

The instrument cluster malfunctioned suddenly leaving the control panel completely black (no odometer, speedometer, speed range, turn signal indicators, etc.). The driver was therefore unable to know what speed they were driving, how much fuel remained, and lacked any sort of signal that turn signals/blinkers were on or off. It was unsafe to drive and impossible to accurately comply with legal speed limits. Local Hyundai dealership inspected the car and confirmed that the cluster had to be replaced, which they did (required 11 total days of being unable to use the car).

My 2025 Hyundai Tucson (VIN [XXX]) has been out of service since [XXX] (over 60 days) at CMA’s Colonial Hyundai in South Chesterfield, Virginia, waiting for a front camera related to safety Recall 302 (NHTSA Campaign 26V316 – Front View Camera FCA Update). The dealership previously replaced the front camera, but the issue was not resolved. They then ordered a new camera that remains on backorder with no firm ETA. I have been provided a rental during this time. Hyundai assigned Case #[XXX]. I have provided formal written notice under Virginia lemon law demanding a buyback because the vehicle has been out of service far beyond the 30-day threshold. The safety-related defect remains unrepaired. Components involved: Forward Collision Avoidance / Front Camera / Automatic Emergency Braking INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

COMPONENT: Infotainment main display screen. Still installed and available for inspection. FAILURE: The screen intermittently flickers, then goes blank with static. Occurs at unpredictable intervals including while driving. Ongoing and unrepaired. SAFETY RISK: The display is centered in the dashboard and houses the backup camera and vehicle controls. Flickering and static while driving creates a visual distraction, and the backup camera is unavailable when the screen goes blank. The malfunction now occurs often enough that it interferes with normal driving. REPRODUCED BY DEALER: Not reproduced during any service visit. Reported to three Hyundai dealerships: Pedder Hyundai, San Diego (May 2025): could not replicate, but accepted my video evidence and ordered parts. I relocated before the repair was completed. Hyundai Mountain View, CA ([XXX]): could not replicate. Declined to perform a diagnostic or open a warranty claim despite the same video evidence. Stevens Creek Hyundai, Santa...

The windshield wipers will only go up once they have fully gone down all the way. Therefore, when snow (or something else) gets stuck below the windshield wipers while they are in use, they cannot go all the way down, and they will therefore not go back up again. The wipers become inoperable while trying to complete their cycle, and stay stuck in place creating extremely unsafe conditions. This incident occurred numerous times while in the snow, where a large chunk of snow or ice prevented the wipers from going all the way down, and the wipers would not work to remove additional falling snow until I pulled over and cleared the area below the wipers. I contacted HyundaiUSA and they said I had to go to dealer to address this issue, but the problem is not a manufacturing problem or broken part with my car, it is a design flaw that significantly impacts safety.
