Warnings problems of the 2025 Hyundai Tucson - part 2

Please see case 11675610 I have been told that this is for the same concerns I have my car is currently at the dealer for the third time to try and resolve this same issue dash will flash and go black for several seconds, when and if it comes back it will have all emergency lights on or flash no signal heads up display will also flash going blank this will be out for a longer period of time and is not always at the same time as the dash going out. When car is turned off after driving it will occasionally still show emergency lights on dash. Even after closing and reopening door, turning car back on and off safety concerns include but not limited to not seeing speedometer, safety lights and warnings.

The automatic emergency braking system went off when there was no reason for it to. It seems to think I am closer to vehicles than I actually am. It frequently warns that I need to brake when I don't need to, either because I am already stopped or because the vehicle that had previously been in front of me changed lanes. Today the vehicle braked so hard that I thought I had been in an accident for a minute. There was appropriate clearance between my car and the car in front of me and no reason to auto brake. I now have wipe lash. Hopefully they recall and fix this issue ASAP.

Phantom braking due to forward collision detection has caused one front end collision in snow and one rear end collision in a construction zone while I was slowing down. In one instance it was snowing and in one instance it was in a dusty construction zone slowing for steel plates.

1 forward collision unexpectedly slammed on the brakes when I was trying to go forward to make a left turn. There was no one in front of me nor each side of me. I had 2x4’s in my car that were thrusted forward damaging my dashboard and display. I was told to take it to the dealership on Monday 2 I was fine just hooked up, but the driver was pissed off at me thinking I was stopping short on him 3 randomly the rear sensor would go off telling me they are too close when I’m at a complete stop. It has randomly stopped short on me but I thought it might have just been an over sensitive sensor. I have previously owned an ioniq 5 and the sensor would never stop going off even if I was 2 car lengths away. 4 the car is going back to the dealership on Monday so it has not been expected yet 5 exactly 6 days after purchasing the car the airbag indicator showed up on my dashboard while I was driving. I was used to the ioniq 5 sensors always going on when I was stopped waiting for a green light that I just thought it was the same way. It had abruptly stopped on me three other times between the 6th and today the 21st. I have only had it for 3 weeks. I have never gotten any warnings before the car just slams the breaks on. After looking online about this issue I decided to make a report before I take it to the dealership so you have it on file. I am very disappointed with this vehicle and was so excited when I bought it. I have been a loyal customer of Hyundai since 2017 when I bought my first ioniq and I have purchased 6 other cars for my family members since then. I still purchased the Tucson after having to take a 15,000 loss because the ioniq 5 never held its value. Now I’m wondering if I should switch manufacturers.

Car slams on the brakes while under controlled stopping. This has happened on a few occasions. Reported it to the dealer service department and was told it has happened to them and suggested that I turn off that option.

Not sure what failed. At around 8:30 am on a sunny clear day the driver was maneuvering slowly up a ramp between first and second floors of a parking garage at the college campus where the driver works. Driver paused the vehicle and slowly turned to the right to park in an open spot about halfway up the ramp. There was a large concrete pillar to the right of the parking spot and a low steel cable wall at the end of the parking space along the inner structure of the garage. While turning into the space, the driver described suddenly feeling "a loss of control of the vehicle" wherein it "felt like it was in neutral and wouldn't stop". The car hit the wall with extreme force, enough for resulting in minor injuries, damaging the frond end and a total loss to the vehicle. The force was enough to rebound the car back approximately 30 feet from the wall after impact. No help or warnings from the collision detection mechanisms was apparent. In a single prior time during the tenure of ownership (approximately 6 months) the collision detection system had intervened and manually stopped the vehicle on its own due to a car that had erroneously driven in front of the vehicle too closely. The car's lane assist successfully kept itself in lanes on most occasions. Several software related notices on the car dash had been reported during the tenure of ownership and in no case was the dealership able to figure out what was wrong in any of the scenarios, one of the software notices on the dash did end up just "going away" after some time.

Every time there is morning condensation/dew or rain, my front collision warning does not work. A notification pops up, the symbol comes onto the dash and it takes a good 3-5 minutes depending on the severity of the weather to have the symbol and notification go away and work. Also, 98% of the time when my car was preset to turn on, the emergency brake automatically engages every time I get into the drivers seat.

The following problems began 5 months ago, 8 months after purchase with about 4770 mileage and current mileage of about 7623: multiple occurrences of check engine light coming on, sometimes setting dtc code, but often not setting code. Multiple occurrences of crash warning light coming on; it may have set a code or codes, but usually not. I think neither dealer was able to reproduce these 2 intermittent problems. Engine light, so far, has not occurred since it was traced to faulty connectors. As far as I know, the crash warning light has not come on since the dealer reduced front camera sensitivity. Also, for the past 5 months there has been intermittent, engine miss, skipping or cut-out. As of this writing it still occurs while driving and will lurch or buck if it happens under acceleration this is not frequent, but it happens erratically and it may happen only once or a few times in one day or several days between. This has not set a dtc code as far as I know; I think the following may be related to the skipping. Once, while coming to a stop, the engine stopped or almost stopped; it bucked when it happened, but continued to run. All warning lights came on for a second or two, then went off, except 3 warning lights and the warning triangle. Although the engine was running, the tachometer and speedometer read zero. The engine bucked as I slowly drove into a parking lot, then I restarted the engine; it seemed ok, then. About 3 weeks later, while driving at slow speed, just as I took my foot off the brake and was about to accelerate, the engine quit. When the engine quit, the audible crash alarm went off with a message saying the engine was not running, press the start button. I started the engine, it did not have normal power. I stopped, restarted the engine and it seemed ok. I have been to the dealer several times because of these problems; dealer is still troubleshooting the last incident. This could cause an accident, especially if it occurs at a higher speed.

The driver attention warning is a dangerous feature that can't be turned off. It is constantly going off requiring that I take my eyes off the road to see why it chimed. I am a disabled veteran with an eye condition that requires me to wear very dark glasses in bright sunlight. The car is not drivable with my glasses on as the camera can't see my eyes. I was almost involved in a serious accident on i459. As I drove between an 18 wheeler and another SUV a red light on the dash and a message flashed that stated "regain control of the car". The system slammed on the brakes which caused the car behind me to almost hit me at 70mph. This occurred in heavy traffic at approximately 8:30 am. I almost lost control of my SUV.

The heads up display and dashboard randomly go blank for up to to 20 minutes at a time. During this, all alert warnings appear on the dash, no turn signals work, no sensor warnings alarm - no warnings of obstacles, no miles per hour are visible.

On 2 separate occasions, the forward collision warning system activated. On both occasions I was under control of the vehicle with my foot on the brake approaching a vehicle that had slowed while entering into a round about. . . I was approximately 10 feet from the car in front going about 6 mph. All of a sudden several warning indicators activated (audible and visual) and then out of nowhere, all four wheels locked and my car came to a skidding/juddering stop. I immediately looked in rear view mirror fearing I was going to get rear-ended. The vehicle in front proceeded to move on and I tried to get myself together and get moving. I was shocked that this had happened as it was totally unnecessary. I was completely in control of the vehicle prior to the activation.

I’ve had the car for 7 months. Three (3) times the forward collision avoidance (fca) has engaged (full stop braking) when it was absolutely not necessary. All three times occurred while driving less than 30 mph on city side streets in houston, TX. On the first and third occasions there was a car in front of me but that car and my car were both slowing down as we approached a red light. My car suddenly slammed on the brakes; I did not hit the car in front nor was I hit from behind. On the second occasion, I was making a right turn and the fca slammed on the brakes and I was hit from behind. There was no damage to an older model car that hit me. My car had $785 in damage repairs. No insurance claim was filed. After incident #2 ( the one with damage) I adjusted the sensitivity of the fca to have a slower reaction. It didn’t help as I had a third incident. My make/model will not let me permanently disable the fca. After incident #3, I have been trying to remember to disable the fca each time I start the car. I have not reported this to the dealer. I will be bringing the car to the dealer next week for this issue. The date below is for the incident when I got hit.

I was travelling southbound on a main urban street. I was approaching an interesting with a feeder road to a major freeway. I was in a line of cars making a right hand turn onto this feeder. Just before I was about to start turning right, the Tucson hybrid suddenly and unexpectedly smalled on the brakes and I came to a full stop. I was hit from behind. There was minimal damage to the car that hit me. My car had damage to some plastic components on the bottom of my rear bumper. Total cost to repair this damage was $785. No insurance claim was filed.

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 was following another car on an urban main street. We were approacing a red light, we were both slowing down and my Tucson hybrid slammed on the brakes unexpectedly when we were close to the stop the stop light. There was no risk of me hitting the car in front of me. Fortunately, there was no car behind me.

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.

Cannot use any driver assistance features while wearing sunglasses (even the lightest lens). I have macular degenation and this affects my future vision. I either can't wear sunglasses (which my eye doctor says are a must) or cannot use cruise control or driver assistance features with them. This was not disclosed prior to car purchase and Hyundai claims it is to guard against drivers falling asleep. Unlikely in daylight and if cruise control and distance was being used and someone fell asleep it would slow the car down rather than crashing into something full speed. This flaw does affect my safety and that have eye issues. Everyone should wear sunglasses during the day to protect their eyes. Please have Hyundai rectify this!.

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.

I have taken the vehicle to dealer every month since purchase . The light for the forward collision inside the rpm dial continues to come on as I driving . I have made several attempts with the dealer to fix this matter. The vehicle is new . It now has 13,696 miles on it now since purchase. I have a case with Hyundai of America . I left my vehicle with the dealer for a month of this time and I got my vehicle back , it had grey seats instead of black. My tires were different as there are rotated burn marks on the exterior of them . Something is wrong here . I am inheriting a problem that is not safe while driving . My understanding from reading about the forward collision light is deactivating while driving . How is this safe for the driver and occupants or others on the road .

I crossed red light, truck coming from my left , I hit his car side , he hit my front car , my airbag didn't open although it is totally loss , despite the other car air bag opened.

I forgot to mention that with my two accidents while slowing down for traffic or a turn, that phantom braking happens almost every day now (it happened about 7 times in 4 minutes while I was on the highway, that's not exageration) curves on the highway with a car diagonal to you in the center lane while you're passing, weird light reflection, falling snow, dust in a construction zone, anything. I can't drive with it on as it alerts to nothing. It's very scary to drive with it on, so now I have a useless safety feature that is really more like a death trap in the right circumstances, which will come. . . . Someone will be doing 70 on the highway, and their Hyundai Tucson will slam it's brakes on full tilt and it will cause injury and/or death. It's only a matter of time.

This is my third report for this car, same issue keeps recurring. The fca locked up the brakes for no valid reason, again. I was driving uphile in a parking garage, there were cars parked on both sides of my driving lane. I entered a left turn while going up the garage. There were cars parked on the right side of the turn lane. As I got into the left turn, my car slammed on the brakes and I came to a complete stop. There were no moving cars or people in front of me. Only parked cars.
