2025 Hyundai Tucson

The contact's daughter owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that his daughter had experienced sudden, unintended braking on three separate occasions while driving at various speeds. The contact stated that the failure occurred after slightly depressing the brake pedal, and the brake pedal went to the floorboard, and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle resumed normal operation shortly afterwards. The driver manually deactivated the Forward Collision Avoidance system at each startup, but the failure persisted. The contact's daughter then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V316000 (Forward Collision Avoidance), and the software update was performed at the dealer. The failure reoccurred after the software update was performed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact back to the dealer. The vehicle remained with the dealer for an extended period. The technicians at the dealer failed to reproduce the issue and deemed the vehicle safe to drive. The contact stated that his daughter refused to take possession of the vehicle and felt that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving 35 MPH on the highway, the vehicle ahead was slowing down to come to a stop, and the contact depressed the brake pedal. The Forward Collision Avoidance system activated and the vehicle came to an abrupt stop. Due to the failure, the contact was rear-ended by the vehicle behind. No air bags had deployed due to the failure. A Police report was filed. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was driven away from the scene. Prior to the failure, the contact had received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V316000 (FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE); and associated the failure with the recall. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic for an estimate for the repair of the vehicle. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.

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.

My 2025 Hyundai Tucson required the front brake rotors to be resurfaced at approximately 12,200 miles. The Hyundai dealership diagnosed the rotors as overheated and warped, despite the brake pads being in good condition. The repair occurred before Hyundai issued Recall 302 (NHTSA Recall 26V-316). Hyundai Recall 302 identifies a defect in the Forward Collision-Avoidance (FCA) system’s front-camera software that can cause the FCA system to engage earlier than expected and potentially result in sudden braking. Hyundai’s FCA system is capable of automatically applying the brakes. I am concerned that premature or unintended brake application associated with this recalled software condition may have contributed to excessive brake heat and premature overheating/warping of my front rotors. I am NOT claiming that this causal relationship has been established. Rather, I am reporting a potential safety defect and asking NHTSA to evaluate whether there may be a relationship. The dealership confirmed that the rotors were overheated/warped but characterized the condition as wear and tear. Hyundai Motor America subsequently denied my reimbursement request on the same basis. I have repeatedly asked Hyundai to evaluate whether Recall 302 could have contributed to the brake condition, but Hyundai has not acknowledged or technically addressed this potential relationship. The original rotors are no longer available for inspection because they were resurfaced during the repair. The dealership performed and documented the diagnosis and repair. I am submitting this complaint because I believe the combination of premature rotor overheating/warping at only 12,200 miles and a subsequently identified FCA defect involving unexpected braking warrants investigation.

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA) warning light was intermittently illuminated. The dealer was notified of the failure and attributed the issue to inclement weather. The contact stated that while stopped, the vehicle was rear-ended because the brake lights failed to illuminate. The contact sustained lower back and shoulder injuries, was transported by ambulance to the hospital, and required ongoing injection treatments. A Police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and repaired for rear-end and passenger-side damages; however, the cause of the brake lights' failure was not determined. Additionally, the contact stated that while attempting to accelerate from a complete stop at a traffic light, the vehicle stalled and was struck on the front driver's side by another vehicle. The crash caused the vehicle to spin, and the front end detached. The air bags failed to deploy, and a system failure message was displayed. The contact sought medical attention the following day. The contact sustained a dislodged left thumb bone which required surgery, a cast, and injections for left arm pain, as well as shoulder, neck, hip, and aggravated lower back pain. A Police report was filed. The second failure had occurred at [XXX]. The vehicle was towed to the auto body shop at the dealer and repaired; however, neither the dealer nor the insurance adjuster determined the cause of the vehicle stalling. The contact associated the failure with an unknown recall notification. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was unknown.

This is not the first situation NOR the first time it is being "fixed". I took my car in early March for an oil change and informed the representative about the same thing. The time that made me say something is when I was switching lanes and the car must have sensed me being close causing me to stop completely and the car behind me having to hard break and swerve. Rick Case Hyundai in Duluth, Georgia had my car for a MONTH, just for me to experience the same thing over 3 times since then. I received my car in April, and the recall for this wasn't put out until May. I am constantly scared for my life and the passengers I may have lives, as well as the other drivers lives, considering I got this car due to being in a rear end collision. When I took it in April, they CONSTANTLY, drove my car to diagnose it but kept telling me they didn't see the problem, and it wasn't coming up for them on their internal tracking system for their cars(webDCS). Once they finally talked to the CORPORATE field technician, they advised they replace the whole front bumper, including sensors, for the solution. But like stated before, since then I have experienced near crash stops AT LEAST 3 times since then, two of them being in the same month (July 16 and July 28). If this is the same solution, I don't see it being beneficial and I would like to be bought out at this point. Especially if I have to be without my car for a long period of time again.

I lease a 2025 Hyundai Tucson SEL. This vehicle has experienced repeated electrical and safety system malfunctions. Display/infotainment failure: The center display has shut off while driving on at least 10-15 separate occasions. This has occurred while I was actively using CarPlay for navigation in an unfamiliar area, causing loss of directions while driving. Forward collision/automatic emergency braking (AEB) malfunction: The AEB system engaged unexpectedly and unpredictably while I was driving on the highway, causing the vehicle to brake suddenly. This resulted in another vehicle rear-ending me. This occurred while I was driving home from a doctor's appointment. I understand this vehicle/system was subject to a manufacturer recall related to this issue. AEB failure to engage when needed: On a separate occasion, while I was backing out of a parking spot, the emergency braking system did not engage or respond when needed, and I narrowly avoided being struck (T-boned) by another vehicle. Warning system malfunction after repair: Following the highway incident, I brought the vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealer, who performed a front safety system software update. Approximately two days later, while driving on the highway, a dashboard warning appeared related to the front safety system. This warning disabled cruise control and other related features. Dealer inspection/dispute: I brought the vehicle back

The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes independently activated. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated to 60 MPH and the brake pedal was abnormally firm. The contact stated that the animals in the rear of the vehicle were thrown into the front seat of the vehicle. The contact stated that the seat warmer independently turned on, the touch screen activated and deactivated, and the oil change warning light illuminated. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V316000 (Forward Collision Avoidance). The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the failure was not duplicated. The contact was informed that the VIN was not associated with the recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 7,000.

I have had nothing but trouble with software issues since the very first recall (software related) on my vehicle, just a few months after I purchased it. I have had a very difficult time having Hyundai address these issues, and recently opened my third case with Hyundai. The issue: On 6/24/26 Peddar Hyundai conducted the software update for the recall regarding the front collision system. Later in the day on 6/24/26 and in the days following, whenever I turned on the car, Googlemaps would automatically pop up on the infotainment screen, the car’s navigation voice (not the googleMaps voice) would instruct me to turn right or left, etc. throughout the drive, despite no route being set. I have a video of this occurring. MOST CONCERNING: 6/25/26 I was pulling out of a parking lot, with no other cars or obstacles in my path, going slowly, and the automatic braking system ground the car to a stop. There was no warning on the dash. It took a few seconds before the car would allow me to accelerate. This is the very problem the software update was supposed to fix. 7/2/26 I was using GoogleMaps navigation at night and as I was driving, the infotainment system went blank and I had no navigation. After a minute or so the map came back on, but it was just spinning in circles and couldn’t right itself. Additional issues: the infotainment system randomly keeps popping up the question, asking if I want to open Google Maps. Sometimes when using the parking camera, an informational window keeps popping up stating “Press the button to display the camera view, or press and hold to activate the parking assist system”. I use this function every day, but for some reason, at times it keeps trying to teach me how to use it. (These types of glitches have happened before after software updates.) 6/26/26 I opened a case with Hyundai. Case number 42790134. I have yet to hear from them. I've called several times and they won't return my call or address this safety issue.
