Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear brake lights and turn signals on my 2025 Hyundai Tucson are not visible to following drivers due to their low placement and design. Multiple drivers have nearly rear-ended us because they could not see when I was braking or signaling. The lights function electrically, but their position makes them obstructed and not noticeable from normal following distances. This is a serious safety hazard and creates a high risk of rear-end collisions. The dealer confirmed the lights work as designed but cannot change their position. …”
NHTSA complaint #11689056, filed 2025-09“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11627220, filed 2024-11“The contact owns a 2025 Hyundai Tucson. The contact stated that on three occasions, while his wife was driving on the expressway in rainy weather, the windshield wipers became inoperable. The driver pulled over and remained on the side of the road for up to an hour until the rain had stopped. The vehicle was taken to the dealer twice; however, the contact was informed that no failure was found. The contact later received notification of extended warranty coverage, Campaign Number: Z08, which was associated with the failure. …”
NHTSA complaint #11769933, filed 2026-10, 10,000 miles“The FAWS Forward Assistance Warning System incorrectly identifies a sleepy driver and turns off Adaptive Cruise Control. FAWS has a dozen triggers that will cause this system to incorrectly alert the driver that his eyes aren't looking at the road and it turns off ACC. The FAWS has a turn off switch but it does not turn it off. So, without this safety feature of Adaptive Cruise Control, the driver just gets constant alerts to stay alert. …”
