2025 Hyundai Tucson

I had the Hyundai recall 302 performed on 5/27/2026 and after the software update none of the front sensors worked. My wife had a 2 mph bump with the car in front of her on [XXX]and there was no warnings, also no damage no injuries that I'm aware of. So I started to investigate why there was no alarm sounded or any red warning light on the dashboard. Pulled the car into the garage and up to 6 inches from the garage wall no warning on the dash. Took the car back to the dealership on 6/5/2026 they changed some settings and it still failed to warn of an still failed. The gave me a service appointment on 6/9/2026 they calibrated the front windshield sensor and now the parking assist sensors worked. When I pulled into the garage the front camera showed yellow and red warnings as I approached the wall. That fixed the parking sensors issue. Still no forward collision avoidance warning shortly there after was referred to the service manager Rich Block he stated that the front bumper cover would need top be removed to calibrate the radar behind the bumper, but Hyundai's warranty would not cover it and, I should call Hyundai Customer care. I did and was contacted by Mohamed at National Consumer Affairs (714) 922 - 3276. and here we we sit. when they pulled the bumper they found the mounting bracket was bent. Mohamed at National Consumer Affairs (714) 922 - 3276 stated could I prove that all this happened after recall 302. I can only prove the parking sensor issue because after recalibration they worked. Hyundai Motors refuses to accept any responsibility for this incident. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle began flashing check driver assistance for rear sensors repeatedly while traveling out of state on March 30th with an occasional flash of check AWD/4WD. On March 31st the vehicle flashed the warnings along with a variety of others flashing on the infotainment screen rapidly and shut off while driving. I was barely able to restart to get it safely into a parking lot before it shut down completely without restarting. The vehicle was towed to the Hyundai dealership that it was purchased from. The diagnostics show electrical and safety systems issues. The dealership and Hyundai USA has been less than transparent regarding a repair plan and potential completion date. It is currently April 21st with no end in sight. The vehicle feels completely unsafe to me and I regret the purchase wholeheartedly.

Issue Type: Intermittent Electronic System Failure / Critical Safety Hazard Description of Incident: A severe safety-related incident occurred while driving at night on 12/29/2025, at approximately 5:48 pm. Under fully dark winter conditions in MA, while the vehicle was in motion with the headlights set to AUTO, the following events occurred: Total System Blackout: All interior and exterior lighting systems suddenly failed simultaneously, including the digital instrument cluster, infotainment display, and backlighting for all illuminated buttons and controls. The complete failure of exterior lighting and interior displays resulted in an immediate loss of forward visibility and access to critical driving information. Duration: The blackout lasted approximately two seconds before the system appeared to reboot. Recurrence: Approximately ten seconds after the first incident, the same total blackout occurred again under identical conditions. Vehicle Status: The engine remained running throughout the incidents; however, the simultaneous loss of lighting and instrumentation created an extremely high-risk driving situation. This incident constitutes a critical safety failure. The vehicle had experienced repeated electrical system failures prior to this incident, and was previously presented to the dealer on 8/7/2025 for diagnosis and repair. The dealer was unable to determine the cause of the malfunction and failed to take appropriate corrective action to address these issues: 07/13/2025: The Auto Stop function became inactive, and the vehicle failed to accelerate properly after stopping at traffic lights, creating a hazardous driving condition. 07/14/2025: The phone failed to connect to the vehicle’s infotainment system. 07/17/2025: While reversing in a parking lot, the Parking Collision Warning system failed to detect a moving vehicle behind the car. No audible or visual warning was issued, rendering the safety feature ineffective in preventing a potential collision.

I was driving on a highway in the largest city in the world and while vehicle merging into my vehicle, Hyundai Tucson automatically and abruptly engaged emergency forward collision. There was absolutely not necessary. All loose items in vehicle went flying inside of my car. My body went forward as well as my passengers. Luckily I was not rear ended in an accident. This is the third incident of the vehicle automatically engaging safety features which actually does the opposite and is a hazard, since I bought the car in Feb 2025. There is no way to permanently disable these features. A driver not being in control of their car is a huge liability on the road. This vehicle must be recalled to disable this feature. Perhaps in a rural area somewhere in the world with no other cars around , this wouldn’t be an issue. Large cities with vehicular and pedestrian traffic it is a danger.
